that is because you never been to Delta. I can give you the names of about 3 to 5 Igbo speaking town in Delta that claim their ancestors migrated from Benin. Delta is a story that is not easy to understand my brother

.

all these haters and ignorant elements with myopic mentality engulfed with illusions of their inability to access knowledge. May it be known to you that before the civil war there was no titled office in the so called Igbo land.
You guys stole our culture, tradition and titles yet have the guts to say Ikwerre is from Igbo. Nonsense.

It's unfortunate how you try to enforce and enjoin yourselves to people who do not share same aborigine with you just because of selfish attempt to have a share of their God given natural resources, fail fail fail!!!! Fail.

Go and do proper research before you keep proving your selves to be ignorant masturbators of masturbating enslave.
No reasonable literature in the world library will even support your claims yet you keep clamouring. Nonsense

Ikwerre bu otu and no region can divide us.

pazienza:
Please my people should let this slide.
Ikwerre is not Igbo. They are Bini people whose inferiority complex plagued Bini ancestors abandoned their Bini language for Igbo language, which they corrupted and continue to mutilate in the name of forming "Ikwerre language".

These people know they are Bini people. Bini people still exist and Bini language is not a dead language, it's still spoken in Edo state. Instead of disfiguring precious Igbo language in the name of Ikwerre language, why can't Ogbakor(yet another Igbo word) Ikwerre go to University of Bini and employ Bini language lecturers to come to Uniport and teach them Bini language? The Bini language taught Ikwerre professors can then organize workshops and seminars to teach Ikwerre teachers Bini language. The Ikwerre teachers can then be sent to rural villages and communities of Ikwerre to teach the people Bini language, the language of their wandering ancestors.

If this is done, in ten years Ikwerrre would have returned to her original Bini language and stop disfiguring Igbo language. Ogini di. How can they mutilate our beautiful Igbo language like this?
Which one is Dikne, Ohna, Iwhurnohna, instead of Dike, Oha, Ihuoha? What sort of insult is this?
And I hope when they complete this complete reversal to Bini language, they will look for a new Bini name for their ethnic group, as both Ikwerre and Ihu-oha( mutilated to Iwhuruohna), Ogbakor( Igbo word for gathering) are obviously Igbo language derived.

These Bini people should mind themselves. And please Igbos claiming these confused lots should stop it already, you guys are disgracing us.

OgaBuhari:
please let your nonsense stop at Rivers and your igbos state.

don't dare drag your nonentity to Delta State.
I'm from Asaba and I'm Anioma by tribe.
Igbos do not exists after the River Niger at Onitsha..
Any igbo u see in Delta are settlers and not indigenes..
there are no indigenous Igbos in Delta.
be warned!!!

Itshekiris accept that they are related to Yoruba and Itshekiri language itself is an ancient dialect of Yoruba.

Urhobo/ Isoko dichotomy is an individual political issue; some of them accept that they are the same yet others of them argue vehemently that they are totally different

Is it that they adopted a language similar to Igbo or that they speak Igbo? So where did they get the quasi-Igbo language from?

Igbo people are naturally disparate; we were just unified recently under the umbrella term "Igbo". The Igbo dialects spoken in part of Enugu and Ebonyi states are completely unintelligible to the average Igbo speaker, yet they still accept themselves as Igbo even though going by your logic, they have even more right to claim that they are something else because the language has almost nothing to do with central Igbo.

At school, Anioma and Igbo days are celebrated differently for political reasons that dont hold water. I have met plenty of people from Delta who just call themselves "Delta Igbo" from Ibusa, Ukwuani, Agbor. What is your point exactly

immhotep:

Tell us the meaning of "Dike Oha" in Edo language.
We are waiting. . .

Yesterday you are from Ekiti .

Odingo1:

Yoruba man, be proud of your tribe and stop switching here and there just to make a point. Why always showcasing cowardice.

Yesterday you are from Ekiti today you are from Delta.

gregyboy:



Haha....thats is an igbo language they are currently and recently trying to adopt

The ikwerres are originally edos who were later influenced culturally and linguistically by their igbo neighbours...

gregyboy:

Ikwrres = i agree
Ikwe( Benin) i agree

OgaBuhari:
show proof or else you gbenu e soun! Ode!

niaralandtopuser:
there is no town called ukwuani in Delta. what you call Anioma is now being divided into Ndokwa, ukwuani and Anioma by those trying to trace their root. infact communities in what they call ndokwa and ukwuani now claim their ancestors migrated from Benin. the enugu and ebonyi accept to be Igbo but the Igbo in Delta are not even United. they are already tracing their ancestry

immhotep:

Rumor mongering
And please tell us what "Dike Oha" means in Edo language.


Very similar to the Igbo spoken in Delta, Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi

Igbo amaka.

Even if they are migrants, they are still Igbo and still speak Igbo so people saying that there are no Igbo towns in Delta state are a bunch of liars

you guys call Anioma but the Igbo speaking group in Delta are busy dividing themselves into Anioma, ndokwa and ukwuani. that you have stayed in Delta does not mean you get involved in traditional activities and history. even some of those you call Igbo trace their ancestry to Benin, guy Delta is a complex story you should research about

I don't understand the gibberish u put up there, perhaps that's an igbo language that we Anioma in Delta State can't comprehend.
I'm Anioma from Delta State and I'm not igbo neither do we relate in any way.
