I have'nt heard them speak. Igbo in my early years I learnt all from my Mum and Dad, the intrest really came from how easy they could make me laugh with it, so I had to learn more by going to community meetings with them. Then I really had to go to the village to live for a whole year to understand more. So to be honest I don't really know many of the villages, I just flow, and try to get by.  |

Actually I think there Mekaa comes from Emeka, like Ime kaaa. You know they say the Ikwere's are descedant's of ndi Arochukwu. Arochukwu another case entirely. |

What is your guys native name? I imagine he has an Igbo name. "They are not Igbo." Accepted (no contest). Please ask them, for goodness sake, to stop bearing Igbo names! Stop speaking (Igbo) language (dialect is immaterial). Better still, they should 'invent' a language distinct from Igbo. Funny enough Ukwu-ani seems to be an Igbo word. Ukwuani Youths - odu-urie!
Ukwuani Elders - ajee!
High Chief - Odogwu abii! |

It's really a mystery to me. It makes me picture somebody who goes by the name Adisa Ekundayo (With parents known as Chief and Mrs Bayo Ekundayo) speaks fluent Yoruba but tells you (vehemently) he is not not Yoruba but rather he's 'Ola'  Somebody gotta explain this thing to me, because I simply don't get it. |

Are we no more allowed to choose anything or tribe we want to call ourselves irrespective of the language we speak. Some people from Kwara speak and have yoruba names but will always deny they are yorubas. Why not let them be afterall it's their individual right. |

Who said anything about 'not letting them be? Is there anywhere in my post where I said they have 'no right' to change their ethnic group? The bottom line is, I don't get it. . . is that very difficult. Oh your people from Kwara analogy couldn't hold more water than a ripped basket. Go read your history and come back with a more appropriate example.  |
