Eifeh: New Movie Oke Ochicho Starring Emeka Ike, Oge Okoye, Tony one week Soundtrack: Flavour Nabania

bigfrancis21:

I just watched the movie on youtube. Its wonderful.

I never knew Emeka Ike and Oge Okoye could speak Igbo.

If I may ask, where's Emeka Ike from? His dialect is new to me.

Afam4eva:
Pls, let's stop this. It's an embarrasment if we keep highlighting this sentiment. Why should Emeka Ike who is over 40 not know how to speak Igbo? As much as there are very few people of that age bracket who are Igbos but can't speak the language, we have to assume that someone of that age bracket can speak Igbo until proven otherwise.

Btw, Emeka Ike is from Imo state.

AdannayaBella:
I honestly don't get what your issue is with us expressing surprise at some actors speaking Igbo. We're not used to seeing them speak Igbo so it is only natural to be surprised to see them flow with ease in the language. Stop making it a big deal.

Afam4eva:
Why should you be surprised? Were they born in New York? Do they have an American accent? How will you be surprised at someone who has lived most of their lives in Nigeria speaking Igbo. Especially one who's over 30 years. The Igbos who can't speak the language are the younger generation who mostly lived outside Ala Igbo.

AdannayaBella:
The last time I checked, many of the younger generation Igbo actors, Emeka Ike included, grew outside Igbo land. Again, the reason why our surprise is natural. There are some who grew up in Igbo land who can't even speak Igbo, that completely waters your point down.

Afam4eva:
Emeka Ike mostly grew up in Lagos and that not withstanding people of that age, no matter where they grew up in Nigeria usually know how to speak Igbo because those days, Igbos were more tight nit and their parents spoke Igbo to them at home. How many over 40 people have you seen that can't speak Igbo except they're not fully Igbo. You should be surprised if someone like Sharon Ezeamaka can speak Igbo and not Emeka Ike. Even Americana Hanks Anuku speaks Igbo.

AdannayaBella:
Regardless of age, I won't be surprised if anyone who grew up outside Igbo land cannot speak Igbo. You would be surprised at the number of people over 40 who grew outside who can't speak Igbo. Anyway, all I am saying is, we all have a right to express surprise at people who we didn't think were familiar with Igbo speaking Igbo. It's our reaction, not yours. Stop hounding people for it like it's a major crime.

Afam4eva:
You have the right to react the way you like just like i have the right to react to your reaction. By always showing surprise at Igbos speaking Igbo, you're telling people that majority of Igbo people don't speak Igbo. You're also attaching some kind of importance to these celebrities like they did not grow up like most other Igbo people.

AdannayaBella:
Firstly, Igbo is gradually dying. Majority do not speak it, start dealing with it. You even said it earlier, many people of the younger generation do not know how to speak it due to the laxity of their parents. Secondly, in regards to the highlighted, what in the world are you saying? We're only saying many of them grew outside Igbo land are expressing surprise just like we would have done to any other person. The same way we express surprise at personal buddies of ours who we didn't think could speak their native language flowing in it. Nobody is attaching any importance to these celebrities. You're the one making a mountain out of a molehill.

Afam4eva:
Igbo language is dying in your mind but not in reality. I used to think like you until i noticed that i was using the age bracket of Igbos of my age and below to judge. Igbo language is not dying, though less people seem to be speaking it by the day. 99% of Igbos in Igboland speak Igbo and majority of Igbos from 30 years and above who live outside Igboland speak it as well...As per those celebrities, the likes of Oge Okoye, Emeka Ike and Igbotic in the truest sense. Forget the fact that they're celebrities and speak English with a quasi foreign accent. These people can blow Igbo more than you and i. I'm only surprised when someone who was born outside Nigeria and have lived their for most of their lives speak Igbo or seeing an ajebutter Igbo person outisde Igboland speaking Igbo. Less people may be speaking Igbo but it hasn't gotten to the extent when we'll say it's dying.

AdannayaBella:
You shouldn't be surprised, after all, they're all Igbos, not New Yorkers.

CFCfan: Can Cynthia Areh speak Igbo?

Afam4eva:
Who's that? That surname as far as i know is Yoruba and not Igbo.

CFCfan:
She's a presenter on...Channels

Afam4eva:
I think she's Yoruba.

passion007: I just discovered this thread, and then watched Nwa Abakaliki on YouTube.
Angela Okorie was flawless; I was a bit surprised the Abakaliki dialect was intelligible to me from start to finish. In fact, the dialect bears an uncanny semblance to Nkanu dialect, and then appears to transition towards Nsukka dialect.
I would like to see more Igbo movies celebrating our rich linguistic heritage.
Sorry to ressurect this thread---I had to.

Collins Chidebe has another movie in the offing: Nkoli nwa Nsukka

Afam4eva:
Different Igbo dialects were actually spoken in that movie. The dialect that Angela Okorie spoke was different from the one her uncle spoke. What her uncle spoke was pure Nkanu dialect.
