Ishilove: The English ruled Nigeria for over 10 years, does that make us English? Now, the bini empire of yore expanded their territory and when they annexed lands, they sent out their own to be kings over their conquered. Lagos was a bini empire which was ruled by a bini king (Obanikoro family lineage) from the bini empire, does that make the Yoruba natives of Lagos Binis or as having bini ancestry? Native lagosians are the aworis and eguns who acknowledge that they are yorubas who were ruled by a bini king, why is the Igbo case different? 5 Likes |

Ishilove: Lol. Sieve is 'nyo' in Igbo language. Myiyo is clearly an Igbo variation of 'nyo'. The abiriba people of Abia state have some words of Ibibio origin in their dialect, sharing similar boundaries with the Ibibio, yet they acknowledge they are Igbo. 3 Likes |

stynhaq: Accursed dog. You came here claiming who you're not. The average Igbo don't care if an amaechi says his own amaechi has a sokoto ancestry, but non entities like you who can never be bold enough to represent their miserable tribe openly but hide under other peoples identity to pour out vituperations and hate will only end up accused like you. 5 Likes 1 Share |

somegirl1: Please do check the message you posted earlier. You said he didn't disclose his identity as an ukwuani man... That he said he's an igbo.. I can quote it if you want. If he says he's and igbo from Uknuani.. He's right.. He's an Ukwauni man and our language is 90% igboid. |

This topic will never end when people don't take time to understand each other and respect the wishes of other people. To my Ukwuani peeps, ukwuani is igboid together with other related family members because of similarities in our languages. Each group is unique and independent of each other but all together in one family that could be called igboid or igbo. It is the choice of every group to go about their unique names or choose to go with the family name. Even if you go with your unique name, the family name will always be with you but in the back corner. This is what ukwuani people have decided to do from time memorial but our choice has clearly not been understood or respected to this day and hence this argument. No ukwuani has ever denied being in a family relationship with the other groups but this alienation will continue if our choice is not respected. 1 Like |

donshaddow: I know exactly what I posted, appears you misunderstood. I said he was an Ukwuani guy who claimed he was Igbo meaning that he is from Ukwuani and identifies as Igbo. How would I have known he was from Ukwuani if he didn't mention it? |

Pharoh: It's a relief to see more honesty and sense in this thread. I just do not get why people make this a difficult and never-ending topic. If all the posters who have so far posted in this thread had this understanding, then a list of Igbo speech forms and the respective communities would have been more easily and objectively compiled. This thread would have been a simple success story and life could continue. 4 Likes |

In other words what Igboid people (non Igbo Izugbe speakers) are saying is that they know that they are Igboid but do not want to associate or be labelled Igbo. |

In my opinion ukwuani people are not benin people and it is time we should try to understand these stories that has been passed down to us. We came from benin as a geographical location but not as from the people because the language we speak today is evident to that. There might have been some benin people who followed our people or people who are product of inter tribal marriages. There is nothing also special in having edo or yoruba words in our language as well. Our language is under the igbo and igboid classification so lets stick to that while still maintaining the fact that ukwauni is a language and not a dialect but 100 percent part of this igbo/igboid family. 2 Likes |

Pharoh: The problem lies here: ukwauni is a language and not a dialect but 100 percent part of this igbo/igboid family One cannot choose his history or rewrite history, our history is what makes us. If all the Igbo dialects mentioned by the OP are languages on their own, they would not qualify as Igboid. One can decide to change or deny his citizenship, but his history can never be denied or changed. 1 Like |

ChinenyeN: Thank you for this and to me i really want all the languages to be preserved because they are all natural. We should endeavor to preserve all of them because it is the best access gate to know a particular group 100 percent. You cannot use ukwuani to comb the in and out of Ngwa culture, traditions and spirituality 100 percent. I don't mind if every group picks up central igbo as a second language to ease communication or learn the language of the group if you happen to stay there for a long time. I hope one day a thread will be peaceful and we will be able to do proper documentation of all the speech forms available. There is an alarm that these language family might go extinct and threads like this shows that we might not be serious in addressing this issue. I am glad that ukwuani peeps are now making effort to revive and preserve our language, hopefully more will be done when we get our anioma state. 1 Like 1 Share |

bigfrancis21:Pls I would like to know if there is any originally Igbo speaking town that had lost the Igbo language due to the influence of other language. Eg, These people that claim that they are Bini but 99% of their names, language, tradition has bin taken over by Igbo and also the Opobo/ Bonny area that speak Igbo since Igbos just came their as traders and slaves but have "taken" over the original Ibani there. I still wonder how the Igbos of then were able to influence the Igbo language on those towns without 'colonization' of the towns ( firing a shot). 1 Like |
