Chyz, that song was not in Ngwa.

EzeUche22:

Yes, it is MY Aro people. The most mixed of any Igbo group yet we claim Igbo. Our own lect includes many Ibibio words.

And just because you cannot understand the Igbanke and Ukwuani dialect does not mean any other Igbo groups can't. I am pretty sure people from Anamabra would understand what is being said.

seanet 02,

Who is claiming Itsekiri?

We Igbos are not claiming them nor do we want to.

My map is an accurate portrayal of Igboland and it doesn't include Warri. This is not about the Itsekiri. Nor are any Igbo on this thread claiming Warri. To be honest, I thought Warri was part of Urhobo land?

Onlytruth:

I was shocked by the clarity of Igbanke!
Ikwerre even shocked me more!
I wasn't shocked by Ukwuani. 

Like I said, someone did a job on Ndigbo.

I think it is left for us to undo that job.

chyz:

Well then it only proves the diversity in Ngwa too.maybe they dont speak your own.  

ChinenyeN:

That song wasn't done in Ngwa.

ChinenyeN:

Much Better.

Dawgpound:

hhmm interesting stuff. I can see Igbo people are very diverse. My own people just got 5 clans and thats it. lol

Chyz, how are u able to upload music like that on NL? I can't do that.

ChinenyeN:

Onlytruth, I don't believe I stated anywhere that no one could understand it. . . Instead was only letting Chyz know that what was posted previously was not authentic.

ezeuche10:

@seanet02, every body knows that warri is itshekiri, so stop making noise.

ChinenyeN:

I mean all this in complete seriousness.

[b]Onlytruth, it is rather funny and silly for you to try and be sarcastic [/b]like that. If you want to tell me that you doubt my familiarity with Ngwa, then simply be straightforward and state as such. [b]Unless, of course, trying to be funny [/b]helps you convey your point.

ikenwan:

I haven't heard enough of what I like to call "deep Igbo" (Igbo spoken by very old people without any English words) to understand all the words in these songs. I think if they were speaking rather than singing, it would be easier to figure it out of course LOL. The disadvantages of a living language that exists as a dialect continuum. :/

The Igbo experience in fishery does not extend beyond importing okporoko from the Norwegians. Ezeuche may be right, Alaigbo isnt landlocked. . . . . its land padlocked!    

. . .Ibime. .God punish u.  .  .na my ppl u dey yab like that ehn. . .lol. . that was funny though

on the real though. .whether we are landlocked or not doesnt matter. .what matters is that igbos are rich enough to buy whatever land we want. .wherever we want in Nigeria. . .

Onlytruth:

I don't know how small Ngwaland is. If it is anything as big as my town Nnewi
