I am beginning to think the Isoko are now the majority in ndokwa East. the Isoko now own land and even oil in ndokwa East

liberalchick:

lol very weird. I had absolutely never heard of it before until I opened this thread. I had to google “Ebonyi” but I couldn’t get any info online, maybe someone will do us the honors lol. Definitely not Abia, Abia was carved out of Imo and from what I heard Imo is what the ‘central/mainstream’ Igbo culture is based on. I think you meant Enugu.

Stop trolling !

I think you are just a troll.

Anioma is divided into Enuani, Ndokwa (Ukwuani & Ndosimili) and Ika.

Ukwuani is basically the same thing as Ndokwa.

You are neither an Anioma nor are you familiar with them at all. You are just a troll and it is very shameful.

Nowenuse:


Niger republic is 40% Hausa. If it was 55% Hausa, they would have been dominating the country, however the Zarmas dominate the politics of the country.

Mind you, even groups who are not Hausa in Nigeria only speak Hausa as a 2nd language too.

I wouldn't say the Fulanis purposely adopted Hausa as the language of the caliphate. It happened naturally, same way the Mughal conquerors of India lost their languages to the language of the conquered majority. Same thinf in Persia.
If the conquerors of a people meet a larger population of natives who are well organized, most times it is the conquerors who lose their language and become culturally absorbed.


Fulfude was and to a smaller extent is still the lingua franca in certain areas of Adamawa, Gombe, Taraba and Northern Cameroon where fulanis conquered minority groups (who were smaller in size and less organized unlike the Hausa).
There are many Adamawa and to a lesser extent Gombe & Taraba people from different tribes who have adopted fulfude as their mother tongue and others who speak it as a 2nd language while Hausa as a 3rd language....

So you are wrong

lol. what is wrong with the Igbo's that everyone don't want to be part of them. personally I see them as too greedy and selfish. they don't also love themselves. there is this Anambra family that use to stay in Asaba back then. they rejected their son attempt to marry a girl from Ebonyi. I asked why and one of them told me ebonyi and Abia are not real Igbo's. this people don't have love among the 5 southeast state but they want to drag other states to their self

Displaying full characteristics of a Yoruba man?

Alas FFK your brother was right about same character that gave rise to the name Yari::ba....


God forbid.

I am done with you since yesterday.i know you see everyone who says what you don't like as Yoruba

niaralandtopuser:
I don't troll. just a recent observation. ushe, Akari, Umuti, Umuolu , Ashaka, ibrede are examples of Ndokwa community now populated by the Isoko. I forgot to even add Aboh

Osagyefo98:



You created awareness with falsehood and captured attention


Your lies needs to be deflated.


Making up stories and tagging it to states is an outright nonsense.


Is the mud house or the bungalow hole you typing from better than any of these states.


Moreover a single family can feed your generations and future ones and still keep remnants for 10th generations


Ozu.

Igboid:


According to Wikipedia Hausa consists of 55% of Niger republic.
There is no rule that the most populated group dominates a country. Fulani are a minority that rules the Hausas. It's more of organization and colonial forces at play.

Oh, the Fulani purposely adopted Hausa as language of the caliphate. It was the easiest thing to do since the majority of the people were already Hausa speaking. It was easier than just starting to teach everyone Fulfude from scratch.

A minority group conquering a more populated group for sake of administrative convenience always have to adopt the language of the dominant population on ground.

Nope. Hausa and not Fulfude is still the lingua franca of Adamawa, Gombe and Taraba.
The few minority groups especially those in Adamawa who has lost their mother tongue to Fulfude are mostly Islamic dominated tribes who are under the Fulani emirs, so there is a colonial influence at play more than you think. Christian dominated minority groups like Kilba, Marigi, etc retained their mother tongue.
So you are wrong and not me.

Nowenuse:


Wow! Where did you get this from?

Pls I would like to see the source. It's very interesting.

niaralandtopuser:
I don't think it is enugu. the girl was from Ebonyi and I asked what is wrong with Anambra guys marrying from Ebonyi. the guy brother told me ebonyi and Abia are not real Igbo's

imiski:
Na by force we say we no wan be Ibo why can't you people just let us be. It's annoying.

niaralandtopuser:
please Ndokwa is not same thing as ukwuani . not all ukwuani town are under the two Ndokwa LGA

Abagworo:


"Ndi Oshimini" and "Ukwu ani". "Ndi Oshimini" was used by Ukwuani as a term for Aboh and Ndoni few years ago. Merger of the 2 terms yielded Ndokwa. Delta Igbo is Igbo that assimilated Bini, Urhobo, Isoko, Ijaw, Esan and Igala. The most important thing is that the core origin and language is Igbo. Even those that migrated from Bini were mostly Igbos with few Bini except in rare cases where during Benin empire expansion the Oba used his son or sibling as the ruler of an Igbo town under his empire. Such instances really did exist but Igbos fought back and regained most of the kingship.

Kfed4ril:


You don’t understand.
You said you’re not Igbo, no problem I don’t give a flying fück.
The only place I have problem is denying Igbo but you’re still speaking and remixing the language.

If you deny Igbo then deny it in its entirety.
Form your own language devoid of Igbo and speak. Simple.

kayfra:


That was not in existence prior to the colonials. Face facts. You were still largely naked even in the beginning of the 20th century

Thanks for the lecture... I learned a lot about the ethnic groups from adamawa, Taraba and Yola... It's one place still can't figure out...

THANK YOU..

It’s so rare why the history of delta Igbo is hardly seen this way. The survival and dominance of the Igbo language is evidence of who the true owners or the aboriginals of the land are, especially given that the Igbo built no dominating or conquering empires like the British or Romans or even the Binis where they lorded themselves over the conquered and imposed a mandatory learning of the language. It’s only in Igbo history where you’ll hear arguments like, Igalas of about 2 to 5 percent arrived and settled amongst an overwhelmingly Igbo speaking group and they got assimilated a generation or two later but the village is Igala not Igbo because of the Igala surnames of one or two Igala-descended families or a few borrowed words. On the other hand Isoko villages of Igbo ancestry are today not Igbo because they don’t speak Igbo or answer Igbo names but Igbo speaking tribes in Delta are not Igbo because about 5 to 10% of them had ancestors who arrived from Bini and were given lands to settle within an Igbo speaking majority and therefore are Bini not Igbo. I’ve read so many crazy theories on this forum that I just gave up on replying most of them.

Nowenuse:


I liked your comment but you are very wrong about the Bini enforcing their language on others.
Binis regard their language as a prestigious language of royal people hence they never allowed or forced their subjects to speak... If Benins had enforced their language on their subjects, then believe me, they would have been a majority group in Nigeria because majority of Edo, Delta and parts of Lagos, Ondo, Bayelsa & Rivers would have been Bini speaking.

what you just typed here is nonsense. First of all Isoko was not founded by anyone. The so-called opute is the founder of ozoro a community that speak Isoko. Secoundly Ozoro official history which I have read and own a copy that was given to me when I accompanied a friend to Ozoro day celebration says, this opute is a half brother to who they call ogwara from Benin. He migrated from Benin to escape from his brother ogwara who was after his life. He ran to what is now called Ozoro with his elder brother OKpe.
