I spent some time growing up in Owerri and have 'an ear' sort of to southern Igbo dialects. Owerri/Etche/Ngor-Okpala/Mbaise I understand perfectly. My mother was from Enugu state and growing up she often spoke her Oji River dialect at home, thus exposing me to the general feel of Enugu dialects such as Nkanu etc (often referred to as waawa). One of my mom's family friends is from Ohaozara Ebonyi state and I spent some time in her house during my NYSC and it shared about 30% similarity with my mom's native dialect of Enugu state and I understood everything she spoke with her husband or her relatives over the phone. I spent 5 years going to school in Nsukka and I do not have a hard time understanding the dialect. I can't speak for Izzi, Ezza etc. as I have not been exposed to those for some time.

I listened to both clips you provided. At first attempt I understand Ika at about at least 70% given it's slight similarity to Owerri where I did my secondary school. With my 'southern ear', I quite also understood what the Abiriba guy was saying but I understand Opobo/Bonny better than Abiriba.

Someone said if you grew up in Igboland, you would definitely understand whatever dialect you come across, even if not up to 100% but you'd get a general feel of what the speaker is trying to communicate, and I agree with that.

Onye nna.

Dude you're a foreigner. Ika is not your fatherland. Return to edo state or you speak for your own immigrant family. Do not drag the entire Ika Igbo into your immigrant stories.

Igboland needs a Donald Trump to put an end to all these immigrant noises in Igboland. We have been too peaceful with you all for so long. Imagine foreigners making the loudest noise in an area that does not belong to them.

You think we can't pursue you immigrants out of Ika land if we wanted to?

Behold the ranting if a lunatic. Some times I wonder the kind of people we have on nairaland. And you're a mod? What a pity!!!

Is it the same as Akanu?

No. It's not the same as Akanu.
They are not pronounced alike too.

Anu in Nkanu sounds like "anu" in meat

Whereas the "anu" in Akanu sounds like "anu" as in difficulty in hearing.

As for what it means, I don't know. But it's the name of the Igbo clan found in Enugu South, North and parts of Enugu East LGA, as well as in Nkanu West and Nkanu East LGA , all in Enugu state.

Nike is believed to be the oldest amongst Nkanu people and are often the first to take kolanut during traditional/ social gathering in Nkanuland.

Ok you need to stop being in denial. You have no proof of what your saying! No proof at all! Your talking out of your a.ss now. Do you know that there are many Edo people viewing this forum. You guys can't just leave the anioma alone. You want to attach to them so badly. I as an Esan/Edo embrace and love my Anioma brothers and sisters. Get that thru your skull and accept it!

What a silly thing to say. One can't attach to oneself. Anioma is Igbo, ie Goodland, and Igbo is indeed a good land.

The Ika and Ukwauni are constantly telling you you guys that there not Igbo. But you guys won't listen, you keep forcing yourselves on them even though they are telling you they're not. Just leave them be! During the Midwest invasion of the Biafra war Igbo soldiers were killing and raping hundreds and hundreds maybe in the thousands of Edo people. The Igbo soldiers indiscriminately shot and killed and abused innocent thousands of Edo civilians.

"It was this battle that gave birth to Murtala, a
“Local champion” called Ibrahim Haruna and
Ibrahim Taiwo of the Nigerian Army. Africans first
had the practical experience of the word
“genocide” in Igbodo where hundreds of lives were
lost in the Nigerian civil war. In Isheagu, the case
was not different. It was here that the ulterior
motive of the Nigerian troop clearly unfolded.
The people were now scampering for the safety of
their lives having experienced what happened in
Igbodo and some other places. In the Midwestern
region, able bodied men went into hiding leaving
women and children at the mercy of advancing
soldiers. The people of Benin went identifying their
Ibo-speaking neighbours from house to house for
executions."

So Igbo soldiers shot at phantom Edo people, that's the justification of your atrocities against Ndiigbo in Anioma?

Was that why you connived with the Federal troops to massacre them in mass in Bini? Because you saw them as Igbos? Hahaha!

Ika people were not killed during the war. Genocide was carried out in few Aniocha Oshimili area but it's because some people there were apologetic to the Biafran soldiers. And Biafran soldiers also killed people in Ika as well. But this doesn't justify the actions of the Nigerian troops.

Ika language saved many people from my place. Murtala was so in love with Ika. This tales of how Oba told the Soldiers this and that are all fabrications. Oba never did that. But if

Remember that I had wondered about what happened to Edo people that besieged Anioma threads on NL here. linking their conspicuous absence with the Emergence of Cire80, a supposedly Anioma person who is more pro Edo than the Oba of Bini?

There are many pro Edo Ika people, Agbontae and their likes, but when you argue will them, you get the feeling that they are only bringing up Bini connection to stay free of Igbo tag. With Cire80, it's different.

Turns out that Ugomba was right all these while. Cire80 is an Edo impostor that had been masquerading as Ika man.

You are an Edo impostor.

Ika towns like Igbodo, Ekwuoma and their likes were greatly affected by Edo monitored FG massacre of Western Igbos in Bini.

Biafrans can't kill Western Igbos when Achuzia and other Western Igbo soldiers were commanding Biafran troops.

Edo man, you need brain surgery.

Cire80 has shown the world he's Bini... Pazienza if you remember that mgbejume guy was rejoicing that the Federal forces slaughtered Anioma in mass,same as this cire80 guy here.
Anyway, when the time comes we'd force all Bini descendants off Anioma territories back to Bini, even if your fathers came from ishan or sobo,you all are going back to Bini.
And if Bini itself doesn't take time, we'd send in Igbo colonists into Benin city itself and change its demographics over time.
Am a bit harsh...but attimes we need to be

Ekwuoma and Igbodo and which other? FYI, Ekwuoma and Igbodo are part Aniocha part Ika. There was no genocide in any part of Ika. Even if people were killed in those places you mentioned, only a few people were pinpointed and murdered.

Colonel achuzie and Nzeogwu are all igbo-Anioma... So aso wea abt 7 other high ranking Biafran officers during the war... Infact late Colonel Nwawo is an igbanke or Igbo akiri man and considered himself Igbo, he fought on the side of Biafrans...he was in Britain undergoing military training when the war broke out, he returned to Nigeria only to be asked to fight against Biafrans, in his own words in a television documentary after the war, he asked them " how can I fight against my people" he was imprisoned but later released wen Biafran troops entered Benin... Even after the war in that documentary he maintained his igboness... He is not even from Anioma or ika in delta but his village and hometown is in present day Edo state. ....

Anioma are Edo brothers. Hehe! They migrated from Edo, even though they speak Igbo.

We remind them of how Edo people massacred Enu-ani people in Edo with help from the FG. Hehe!

They shift the goal post immediately, removing Enu-ani and hence Anioma from their lies.

"Ika and Ukwuani are Edo brothers they scream"!
We remind them that Ika people in Isheagu, Igbodo and Ekwuoma were also killed by FG with Edo help.

They shift the goal post again!
