How is Igboukwu Isu? I hope you guys don't send this thread to the bottomless pit. |

ChinenyeN: My friend you are very ignorant of this very issue!! What do you know about Igboukwu,their traditional and cultural practices?? Nada,yet you want to come here and brand a defined Nri settlement Isu! ! This is not Ngwa history we are talking about... Igboukwu has some of the oldest Nri practices like Ikpu alu,Nze na Ozo,their cultural and social structure. Tell me a single tradition that defines Isuama culture? ? Like I said,go and keep researching endlessly about your Ngwa culture and try not to piss me off with your little smart comments... You know absolutely nothing about Igboukwu or about how their dialect souds...Do not piss me off because you are in no place to talk about Igboukwu who has a strong Nri presence. 1 Like |

As I have already stated, go and have a talk with Isu people. Don't come to me, because that is not my claim. If you are looking to vent your high blood pressure issues, then vent them with the right people (Isu). Do not be foolish enough to point in my direction. |

Obiagu1:you can find Isu in Nwangele LGA. Isuama is in another place. |

Mr Mandilas: you can find Isu in Nwangele LGA. Isuama is in another place. Guy you are funny. You know little about Isu. Isu is everywhere in Igboland but their homeland is Isuama which is also called Isu. Somewhere around the area everyone described earlier. The thing is that after the colonialists divided and zoned people for administrative convenience many people seem to have lost track of their past heritage. Mbaitoli in Imo State is Isu but I have met some of them that think they are Owerri. Owerri in itself was created as a zonal capital for mainly Oroatta people but merely a small clan of the Oroatta group. |
Re: Town Or Clan Whose Original Dialect Is Closer To Central Igbo? by MrMandilas: 2:04am On Jun 16, 2012 |
Abagworo:Mbaitolu is never Isu. Go and do ur research well! Then u come back! |
Re: Town Or Clan Whose Original Dialect Is Closer To Central Igbo? by odumchi: 2:11am On Jun 16, 2012 |
Since we're still on this Isu issue, I'd like to ask if Isuikwuato people in Abia are in anyway related to the Isu which you all are talking about. |
Re: Town Or Clan Whose Original Dialect Is Closer To Central Igbo? by ChinenyeN(m): 2:59am On Jun 16, 2012 |
Mr Mandilas: Mbaitolu is never Isu. Go and do ur research well! Then u come back!Are you serious? I know people from Mbaitolu, they confirm that they are Isu. odumchi: Since we're still on this Isu issue, I'd like to ask if Isuikwuato people in Abia are in anyway related to the Isu which you all are talking about.From what Igbo historians have written, they are Isu. They are said to confirm being part of the original Isu settlers in Okigwe. |

Re: Town Or Clan Whose Original Dialect Is Closer To Central Igbo? by OneNaira6: 7:19am On Jun 16, 2012 |
some-girl: Are you serious? I will not necessary call it a central igbo spoken but there is no denying it is one of the easiest Igbo language to understand. At least from my own point of view. |
Re: Town Or Clan Whose Original Dialect Is Closer To Central Igbo? by Afam4eva(m): 8:15am On Jun 16, 2012 |
One_Naira:Exactly. I wonder how someone will say they don't understand Asaba and Onitsha Igbo which are one of the easiest to follow just like most northern Igbo dialects. |

@op,Igbo izugbe is not originated from one village or clan,it is a collection of different words from every clan in Igboland.fact? Did you know that people from Anambra will need an interpreter for them to understand their fellow Aghamelum people when they speak.Aghamelum L.G.A is in Anambra state.yet some words mighty still be pick from there to complete igbo izugbe. Again,there's a big different from speaking central igbo from writing Igbo izugbe.you can correct me! Abakaliki Igbo is no different from other Igbo language except intonations. All Igbos speaks differently in our local dialect but have "Igbo Izugbe" as our lingua franca. umuigbo udo nke Chineke diri unu. |

achi4u: @op,Igbo izugbe is not originated from one village or clan,it is a collection of different words from every clan in Igboland.fact? What we are discussing is the urban Igbo which is spoken in Aba,Enugu,Owerri and Onitsha streets which does not really belong to any particular group. The other is if a dialect is spoken in its close to pure form with little "Igbo Izugbe" interference, which dialect is more intelligible to most other Igbos? I picked Onitsha/Asaba dialect from a personal angle. I know most Igbo dialects though. |
Re: Town Or Clan Whose Original Dialect Is Closer To Central Igbo? by achi4u(m): 2:34pm On Jun 16, 2012 |
Abagworo:alright,i thought we in Abakaliki urban do speak central igbo too because of high population of all igbos in this area.nevertheless,Igbo izugbe were not originated from a particlar clan. cheers |

Does anyone know if Isuochi community in Okigwe LGA is also Isu? |
Re: Town Or Clan Whose Original Dialect Is Closer To Central Igbo? by Abagworo(m): 8:42pm On Jun 18, 2012 |
odumchi: Does anyone know if Isuochi community in Okigwe LGA is also Isu? That I don't know yet but the Isu in the name suggests Isu origin just like Isuikwuato and Isu in Onicha LGA of Ebonyi. I have however read where they were referred to as "Otanzu". They are related. I think most Igbos have one thing or the other with Isu and Nri. |
Re: Town Or Clan Whose Original Dialect Is Closer To Central Igbo? by odumchi: 9:55pm On Jun 18, 2012 |
Abagworo: Oh okay. I believe there's a good possibility that they're Isu but, since I'm not sure, I won't say anything. However, if they are Isu then that's revolutionary news for me personally because my maternal great grandmother was married over from Isuochi; meaning I'd have Isu ancestry. Anyway, I found this document that sums up the history of standardization attempts within the Igbo language. It should answer the question of which dialect is nearest to (or resembles the most) Central Igbo once and for all.
