ABSTRACT
Okrika and Kalabari relations has been found to be more of rivalry than allied structure in the Eastern Niger Delta, beginning from the period of pre-colonial, colonial but ends in post-colonial era. During the pre-colonial era, it was because of fishing rights and settlement at the bank of the Calabar River, which often led to wars. This spurred the researcher to examine the gravity and benefit of the fishing rights and settlement. At the time, the wars were fought with traditional fighting materials, like spear, knife, stone or physical hands. But during the 1800s, though Okrika and Kalabari wars were motivated in part by ancient struggle for political and economic dominance in the Delta areas, the immediate factor responsible for their resurgence and fierceness were all casually related to the commercial transition and the availability of weapons of mass destructions, purchased from or given by European Merchants and British consuls. To achieve this objective, therefore, the researcher put to use evidences obtained from interview, published and unpublished works, correspondence, treaties and documents. Consequently, the rivalry caused the sacking of Elem Kalabari to new locations of Abonnema, Buguma, and Bakana. Though Okrika and Kalabari right from pre-colonial to colonial era had been more in rivalry but by post-colonial era, this rivalry structure was changed to an alliance. Okrika and Kalabari later decide to keep their past hostilities behind, stake their future together, to send memoranda to the federal Government in 1979, 1991 and 1994 respectively, to remain part and parcel of Rivers state.
