donshaddow: Kedu is not used in all Igbo dialects. It's been acquired in most Igbo areas that use it. Old people in my village don't greet that way and they are Igbo. 3 Likes 1 Share |

tonychristopher: Yes I am sure. Just read what they narrated they are going through http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=56412 I feel so sorry for them. If I can get them out of benue myself, I will do it. In as much as I want Anioma state to become a reality, my heart feels this people need all the hands they can get to get out of that state. Even Igbanke wey complain since no dey get this type of mistreatment. I seriously pity them and it's a shame that noone is barely talking about them despite calling out for help. |

That Ikwerreboy posting epistles so as not to be called Igbo is a mugu. Who told you we want more people to join us? We are still very great in number despite the amount of people killed during the Biafran war. Just come to Owerri during Xmas and you'd think you're in Idunmota, Lagos due to the swarming crowd.

pazienza: Which Rivers website, it can never be an official Rivers website. A snapshot should follow your claims. Pazienza i am Ikwerre and can surely tell you my people take it badly whenever they are referred to as Igbos, it is about the worst insult you can give an Ikwerreman. If we are Igbos, what then was the point of ensuring we are recognised as a separate entity. The Ikwerres and Igbos share common boundary so it shouldn't come as a surprise when words, traditions and customs are sometimes shared, but it doesn't necessarily make us the same people. If you wanted to experience the sentiment firsthand, then i suggest you come into an Ikwerre gathering and tell them they are Igbos. You wouldn't do that in yoir right senses. |

HopeAtHand: You don't seem to appreciate the use of the "oid" prefix. No one has called ikwerres Igbo but Igboid. Ikwerres (generally) lack certain Igbo qualities so their migration story is almost believable. 1 Like |

It's basically Igboid; Ohafia has a large mix of Efik and Bini in it, (more than Ukwuani's mix) yet they are Igboid! Like it or lump it! Glottochronology classifies people according to language attrition! If 70% of your dialect is Igboid, then definitely it is!! Ishilove: |
