Azedplus: hardly remember some states like Jigawa, Kebbi even Zamfara make the news more than them.

me_for_you: If ebonyi people are igbos, how comes no igbo man can ever understanding their igbo except themselves? I have been with many afikpo and amasiri people a lot and they talk for hours without me understanding a word they are speaking.
While accents of IMO and anambra people differ on things like "ihe/ife" ebonyi people have entirely different names for every object and action like cup, spoon, bath, love making, practically everything.

holyvirgin:
Okposi ke? Do okposi ppl know how to groove? Since when? Funny the only good thing about okposi ppl is that their women are exclusively beautiful...

Afam4eva:
I'm aware of this and i also notice it in their approach to life generally. They don't seem to be interested in amassing wealth like other Igbos. They seem comfortable in the level they are at. I think that has to change and it will change if more enlightenment is done.

JustBeingMe: It's better we don't make the news at all than make the news cuz of terrorism and underage marriage.

ifechez:

Solupeace: Onyibe thank you. Send me well to everyone at home,regards.

nyere84: Tank you my darling. Happy nw yr in advance

TribalEAST: They are nothing to write home about.

Nightshift: If you're an Igboman, you should be ashamed for making the above statement. Like in other languages in the world, Igbo language has many dialects. Being that as it is, such differences in dialect can not question the Igboness of any particular area in Igboland.
Your poor understanding of dialects in Igboland does not mean that perhaps, a thousand people from your community will not comprehend words or sentences in some Ebonyi Igbo dialects.

me_for_you: what they speak in ebonyi is not a dialect. It's a language quite very different from igbo.
I'm from Imo. And when I go home I tune FM of different igbo states - abia , anambra, enugu and imo and I understand all they say. But once I made d mistake of tuning that of abakiliki and I regretted my life. Ebonyi people speak more of calabar than igbo. Ok state the ebonyi words for cup, plate, spoon, love-making, bottle and compare them with the ones of central igbo. Ebonyi people are bush men joor. Are they not the ones that litter my village and help us in farming and cutting palm kernel?

JustBeingMe: Which state are you from? Please don't tell me you're a graduade or an undergrad. I swear Ebonyi children in primary schools speak better English than you.

me_for_you: what my family pple speak is not a dialect. It's a language quite very different from igbo.
I'm from Imo. And when I go home I tune FM of different igbo states - abia , anambra, enugu and EBONYI and I understand all they say. But once I made d mistake of tuning that of my state and I regretted my life. My family people speak more of calabar than igbo. Ok i cant even state words for cup, plate, spoon, love-making, bottle and compare them with the ones of central igbo. My family people are bush men joor. Are they not the ones that litter my village and help us in farming and cutting palm kernel?

smudge2079: d truth is bitter mufu. 44 days to go.... am leaving dis shyt hole

me_for_you: I cant speak English and i am not wise. If not that am so stupid, i shld knw dat Ebonyi will surely develop, if God bless them wit the rite governor.
in modern warfare, i am still so extremely backward. Modern weapons were used to execute the aguleri/umuleri crisis. But i and brodas when we want to fight, we will carry matchetes and enter pickup and go to the war zone and start matchetting one another like it was in the biblical times.

Afam4eva:
[s]That's if you've asked every single Igbo person in PH where they're from. But you're right. It's hard to find an Ebonyi person unlike Imo and Anambra peeps. It's the same thing for Cross River peeps who rarely travel out. Most of the people we actually call Calabar are from Akwa Ibom state.[/s]
