WORLDPEACE: Thats good to know. Here, the disparity in the local hausa dialect is somewot mainly an inter-state thing (& not intra-state). E.g the kind of hausa being spoken by the people of kano varies a bit from the one being spoken by the people of sokoto. 1 Like |

limamintruth:Most people who are not from Ondo or even Ondo state people who did not grow up there can't differentiate one dialect from the other. I think ondo state has the highest number of Yoruba dialects. The Ijebus are found in both Ogun and Lagos state while there are still the Remo, Egba, and other groups sharing Ogun with them. But most Yorubas( not all) are able to speak a common general Yoruba lingual franca which is more Oyo in composition than any other Yoruba dialect. 1 Like |

Truckpusher: For the Anioma: The Yoruba are known as ndi abakpa; is possible that you are confusing this with Hausa in Ogba because ogba is an offshoot of Anioma. As some one mentioned previously Aboh had much to do with ogba. 1 Like |

omonuan:The progenitor of the Ogba kingdom was a Bini Prince and warrior who had two wives ,one Bini(Edo) and the other one from Ika Igbo people and when he left the Benin kingdom sometime around the 14th century he migrated to another place in Imo State where they continued migrating southward and decided to settle along the fertile land of the orashi region. Ogba wasn't a direct offshoot of Anioma but due to their migration into south east the language,name and culture became influenced making it to share a lot of lingual characteristics with the Igbo people. 1 Like |

Truckpusher: Nnaa, so as educated as you are,you believe that a Bini king would give his son(prince), an Igbo name Akalaka? Where exactly is the place of reason and logic in all these Bini migration stories? Ogba doesn't share lingual xtics of "Igbo people", Ogba is essentially an Igbo dialect. 3 Likes |

pazienza:This your total disrespect for the indigenous people of River State has caused lots of mistrust and bad blood among us ,yet here you are taking it to another level. You have no right or whatsoever to tell a people whom they want to identify themselves with and you have no moral standing to rewrite our history to suit your political ambitions. Keep off your land grabbing attitude off from our land else you'll tell another story of woes. Ogba people are not Igbos and will never be one.PERIOD Biri ka mmu biri, isn't what you chant in your dialect when you want to be left alone and live your life a free man? 1 Like |

Truckpusher:Lol! You are yet to answer my question. Why would a Bini king give his prince an Igbo name? Answer that question and stop this your emotional outburst. |

Truckpusher: I have heard this fairy tale before. The name of this Bini man is of course Akalaka. By the way what does Akalaka mean in Bini? And does it it have any Igbo meaning like destiny? By the way, I have actually heard your "Oba" chukwuemela Obi say that Ogba is an offshoot of Anioma. May be you should go ask him. Why do you always think the Igbo are land grabbing by extending hands of kinship to you? If you think Ogba is better than Anioma, then you must think again. The technocrats and captains of banking and industry from Anioma would make Ogba green with envy. The Anioma nay Igbo people do not need Ogba per se. Tell me which group has more proximity and historical links to the Bini; Anioma or Ogba? 2 Likes |
