1856 W. B. Baikie Narr. Voy. Niger iii. 40 The people are of the same tribe as those who inhabit the tract of country up to the Rio Formoso, where however they are called Ejo or Ojo, by which name also they are known at Abó, at Brass, and even at Bonny. By English palm-oil traders they are often termed Jo-men.

1906 A. G. Leonard Lower Niger ii. i. 52 So extremely touchy and sensitive are these people—the Ijo particularly so,—so easily piqued and disturbed, even by the mildest of chaff, that they have no hesitation in taking their own lives or the lives of others, on the spur of the moment.

1966 M. Crowder Story Nigeria v. 80 The Ijo exported dried fish and salt, which they panned in the salt water creeks, to the peoples of the hinterland in exchange for vegetables and tools.

b. The language of this people.

1906 A. G. Leonard Lower Niger i. iv. 42 An examination of the six or more dialects of Ijo and the five of Bini..shows that they are dissimilar not only to each other, but to the other neighbouring tongues.

1926 P. A. Talbot Peoples S. Nigeria IV. iii. 82 Ijaw is a very primitive negro tongue, perhaps the most ancient in West Africa, and..has not the smallest affinity with any other.

1971 P. Young in J. Spencer Eng. Lang. W. Afr. 180 The Nigerian poet and novelist, Gabriel Okara. His novel The Voice exhibits a highly idiosyncratic syntax obtained, according to Okara, by a direct substitution of the syntax of his native Ijaw for normal English syntax.
