I don't know why ibos are always in haste to claim ukwani land as theirs. As an ukwani man born and bread in ukwani land, I must say we know our root and nobody can force us be what we are not.

This thread was meant to unite ukwani people not to tell us we are ibos or not.

@ op. Ajeh nwenem. Anyi nde ukwani amaliwoli enwe enyi. Obushi yamali ukwani nasu, mbu oka ni imeye. Masu ukwani kpolu eja tiye. Desenim ekukwo ku mzhi okpunani ukwani. Eh ajeh.

Does ndokwa speak a different language from Igbo

Does ndokwa have different culture from Igbo

Does ndokwa have different names from Igbo

If yes do let me know the differences


Just like I know the difference between a dog and a goat

I will love to know the difference between a cheetah and leopard ..if they are different feline family

D ukwuani people r very much organised and matured people..unlike d igbos who r very much disorganised eva...i wonda who gav dem dat dirty name igbo meanin slaves in Ukwuani language...for ur informatioN,I tank God dat d NdOKWA ETHNIC NATION was not under d map of d Biafrans.why?? because of ur igbo selfish deeds if not d igbos would hav tried to OPRESS us but wouldnt hav suceeded.if not d biafra country would hav bin torn apart by now.. d Ukwuani ETHNICITY remainS those Greate Warriors who refused Opression by anybody.d only way dat it would hav worked is wen there is equity.d ukwuanis will rule,d igbos will rule ...hahahahahahah..i found out dat its only wen it comes to issues of beneficial aims to d Ukwuanis,ikweres dat u igbos will want to include a people of GREATER FAME to ur igbo Ethnicity..dis is called SELFISHNESS.... For ur information D ukwuani,ikwere,igbo are listed amongs d over 300 ethnic groupS in nigeria...so wat do u hav 2 say about dat??how com will u say dat they r d same igbo?? U r confused.. U cannot say dat plantain & banana is d same...they look very similar but r totally different plants,d orange and grape is not d same,they r different plants but might belong to d same ancestral link.even a twin is not even perfectly d same not to talk of UkWUANI vs IGBO with different people,culture,music,dressing,traditional believes,music,little linguistic similartity,etc...maybe As a scientist, if u proove to me dat this named and tested fruits r d same,then i will say dat u r a QUACK...so get dis words sticked 2 ur Igbo heads...dat is y u igbos fail 2 understand d science here...ukwuani is listed among d ethinic groups in nigeria,including igbo & ikwerre...they r familiar tribes just like d uhrobos and isokos...JUST LOOK At uRSELF NOW? Common sIMPLE SCIENCE U dont understand!!!hmmmm try 2 learn

Nobody is saying not yo be ukwuani or any village in Igbo

Then please give me link of government backed site that identified ukwuani as a tribe and language

Then point of correction orange is what is it and grape same but all are classified under citrus family

Then you said igbos meant slave ..dude you lie I know ukwuani well having married there ..let assumed that Igbo is slave ..the question who enslaved them which king enslaved them and when

If we will say those that are break slaves its ukwuani

There were enslaved by aboh then Benin

So disprove this ...

Now last thing can ukwuani measure up with any Igbo village in east ..if yea then name the village

OKs
Give us evidences not call names

I'm certainly not searching for differences but these; shut - your - mouth - you - dont - know - who - u - are arguments just tick me off everytime. Why must people deny Bini heritage to be accepted as Igbo? In any case, i'm not sure i have the stomach for an argument over this so i'd be glad to see it pass.
Interesting u were in Aboh, i'm actually setting off back to my base at dawn - fuel permitting that is - hope you had a nice time?


Don't deny benin heritage ..I agree with that but please give us evidence of Benin heritage in terms of language and culture then we can agree but you have not been able to show your intellect

Ukwuani is totally different character 4rm igbo culture.for instance,d ukwuani man can marry 4rm any tribe unlike igbo man who is mainly restricted to marring only his own people.
2ndly,an ukwuani man does not force his late brothers wife to marry him,neither does he fight 4 his properties.
Secondly d ukwuani man is detribalized.
3rdly,d ukwuani man is not greedy.
4thly,d ukwuanis hav their own language,mode of dressin,music,story tales,style & proverbs.
5th,d ukwuani tradition is a brigde of all traditions of d people of western niger delta which consist(itsekiri,uhrobo,ijaw,bini,& igbo(aniocha/oshimili)
All dis makes us unique.PROUDLY NDOKWA nation!!

Chei,Ikomi you no go kill me with laughter.

Have you heard Afikpo people speak.
Ukwuani and Ikwerre Igbo/Igboid is easy compared to theirs.

Afikpo is just like central Igbo. It's the Abakaliki dialect (Izzi & Ezza) that are not like Igbo.

Another problem is that many people are not so conversant with the modern orthography of writing in Igbo language be it Ukwuani, or Ikwerre or Ngwa. If it's rightly written it'll be easier to understand.

The modern orthography (the one used to write Izugbe) is grossly insufficient for many Igbo lects. Izugbe, by nature of its orthography, only recognizes 30 'alphabets', but many lects may require between 20% - 80% more 'alphabets' to represent their actual speech. Which means that for many lects, the current orthography is only useful for 20% - 80% of what someone can actually say.

So, the current orthography might make a lect easier to read, but not always easier to understand, because the actual nuance is sometimes lost. Consequently, the actual meaning may be lost as well. You may read and understand one thing, but it may mean something else in the actual lect.

Sorry, bro, do you know anyone who actually speaks Ehugbo (Afikpo)? Because I am having great difficulty understanding how anyone can say it is just like Central Igbo. When we had an Afikpo househelp, we could only communicate with her in English.
