martineverest: IshiLove, where are from in Ukwuani that you claim has Yoruba elements? Even the Bini loan words are so few! They borrowed more from us than will did from them! Bini people call kerosine mili ukpa, that is an Ukwuani word for mmili ukpe, literally water + lamp. We did borrow from them too, but fortunately almost all the words we loaned from them has a primary Ukwuani/Igbo substitute, eg 1. Bini,edeki; Ukwuani edeke/obara/obala; meaning blood; 2. Bini, edafe; Ukwuani,ogalaenya; rich man, 3. Bini,ukpokpo; Ukwuani,kpkokpo/sogbu/to trouble or worry. 3. Bini, Utomi; Ukwuani,ishi nka. All these examples i have given are not peculiar to Ukwuani, all Western Igbo, like Enuani has these words too. 1 Like |

Ishilove:Yes o, M bu onye Ukwuani. correct spelling Iwe b'ewe 'i. Literally, dont let anger anger you. Dont get angry. we iwe means to get angry; be ewe iwe or iwe be ewe'i or iwe ewena'i negates the ''iwe''. Hahahahhahahha dioka asusu ka m bu.

Ishilove: But he said he was writing "Igbo" dictionary in Ukwuani dialect. And we know you don't wanna be classified as Igbo. And you also said Ukwuani is not Igbo related...smh |

OMANBALA1:Of course I don't. I will never see myself as igbo so that's that. The nomenclature given to the dictionary is irrelevant because all I'm interested in is the contents. 2 Likes |

chucky234:Chucky234, Thats what Bini people call you. That word is of Bini origin, so get your vocabulary and etymology right. igbon, thats a Bini word for slaves. Because the Bini had access to the Portuguese, who supplied them guns, and whitemen preferred Igbo slaves to any other tribe, Bini people raided us frequently for slaves. Thats what the Bini call you! |

Phut:Radiollo, you are very correct Ukwuani, Aboh, Ndoni and Oguta are same dialect(Ukwuani). Before the war, in 1954 proper Ndoni in present Rivers state was politically organised with Ukwuani in present Delta state. The name you here today as Ndokwa was fusion of the three native authorities in the area: N(Ndoni), DO(Ndosimili) and KWA(Ukwuani), hence you have Ndokwa. i once met into an Oguta man in Owerri in 2013(actually and and my younger brother were conversing when he over head us). I couldnt hide my excitement that day! 1 Like |

donshaddow: Oyi m onwe ife di iche ni echichi n'omenani. My friend there is no difference in dressing and culture. Let us get educated. Do you suppose that all other igbo groups from Opobo to Afikpo dress or speak same way Do you know that in Ukwuani there are communities that say mmili and others that say mmiri? Now when you hear that there are Igbo dialects that even say mini, you will now say you are a different language. Biko, Let us stop all these intellectual dishonesty and igba n'aki. 3 Likes |

Ukwuani is not an igbo dialect it is different from igbo language u people like claiming all east part of Nigeria are igbo when they are not people should stop saying they are igbo because they stay in the East part of Nigeria. |
Re: A List Of Igbo Dialects And Where Their Speakers Are Found. by olaitoro(m): 11:26am On Feb 13, 2019 |
Weedfree: Your ignorance is legendary, how can you say that Ukwuani is in the East. If Ukwuani is in the East then Ihiala is in West..lol.. Go and brush yourself up with knowledge of Nigeria geography before parading yourself as an authority in Ukwuani affairs. |

Weedfree: loool, guy you are a weed smoker maka Chukwu. The bolded really cracked me up. Ok let me teach you simple geography. River Niger divided the Southern Nigeria into East and West via Anambra and Delta, that was while Delta was originally in Western Nigeria and Anambra in Eastern Nigeria during the first republic. Mid West region in which Delta state was part of was created from western Nigeria and not from the East. Ukwuani has always been in delta state, thus is in the West of Niger. You can thank me later for this lecture. Stop displaying your ignorance as a fact anu mpama. |

olaitoro: First of all, I would like to apologise for your know-nothing,featherbrain, simpleton mentality. That has refused to free itself from colonial and happy slave mentality. How can you call Delta, an Igbo tribe, have you no respect. You are no different from the cultural ignorance colonial rulers and foreigner. The "concept Nigeria" is fraud. You have contacted the senselessness of the foriegner. You out of your myopic nature decide with your fellow dim wit to say Delta is Igbo because you know your tribe is nothing with crude oil. Nigga must you famz. Let your tribe focus on their resources. You have disrepected Africa by compelling to the Scramble of the Continent. There goes another man, who have been whitewash. By the way that was not Igbo but Ukwuani. Fire ur knowledge I was also taking about other east tribes u cling to other tribes forcing them to believe in ur biafra mentality. I know u insulted me in igbo and yes I understood everything you said so I belief is time i insult u in Igbo to ENI TI GO A DIA NU IHE OFUMU AND NOW IN UKWUANI ENA KWE ELA. SO u know, there are ukwuanis in rivers state and since u are an expert on geography where is rivers. |
