Every gathering of deluded villagers is now ethnic or tribal group in the zoo called Nigeria. In fact, Nigeria is glorified garbage

Plateau sha.. see plenty tribes in one state. No wonder hausa is next to English as official language in the state. A careful observation shows that Plateau has the highest number of tribes in Nigeria,in one Local Govt there are up to 10 different languages

hmmmm... nice try. But the people of Plateau that you label as Montol is actually wrong. Their name is Tehl and they live in Tunkus, Mikang LGA of Plateau. Montol is a derogatory name for them derived from a corruption of their name Mona tehl which means "I am Tehl".

Re they Igala ?, u guys answers Itsekiri names like Ayo , Its an Itsekiri Enclave in anioma land.

I met some Of them 1 day, Answering 1 yorubish name and an itsekiri like name, with mixture of Ika language .

Na wa God create

Are you sure it wasn't an Olukunmi person you met? Just be sure you aren't confusing Ebu with Olukunmi.

And second, who told you Ayo is exclusively Itsekiri? Cause I've met many Yoruba people known as Ayo.

Ayo is nt exclusive to us alone, Yoruba's answer that too. sorry about that..

I never asked him if he his from Olukumi or Ebu, But the way he spoke, I could hear some mixture Of My language with Ika dialect, He's name is Ayo too, my name sake, he his from those Delta North Axis

Well, since Itsekiri, Igala and Yoruba are all related tongues, it's quite possible that you could be hearing Igala or Yoruba and thinking it is Itsekiri.

Anyway, both Olukunmi and Ebu are in Delta North. Neither of them has anything to do with Ika dialect, as they are in Aniocha and Oshimili. Olukunmi is in Aniocha, and is a Yoruba enclave. Ebu is in Oshimili and is an Igala enclave. Both have been influenced by the Aniocha-Oshimili dialect. Their oral traditions and even the linguistic studies that have been done affirm they derive from Yoruba and Igala respectively.

This Itsekiri angle you are bringing in is new.

Point of correction, Miango is not a tribe in Plateau state but a district with the main town called Miango. The tribe that occupy the Miango district and KWall district is Irigwe both in Bassa L.G.A.
