Is Kwale A Town Or Tribe? Pls Clarify Me by Nobody: 8:50pm On Jan 24, 2015
Hello,

Please I need some clarifications.

Is Kwale a town in delta, a local government or an ethnic group?

I have heard lots of people say, they are from Kwale,

Some say, they speak Kwale as their language.

So please, clarify me.

Thanks

Kwale is a town in Delta state. There are people that for ease of description say they speak "Kwale." However, the people of Kwale speak Ukwuani an Igbo dialect of the Anioma triad of Enuani, Ukwuani and Ika sometimes referred to as Delta Igbo. The preferred term now is Anioma.

Kwale is a major town in Ndokwa LGA of Delta state, Nigeria and the language they speak is Ukuwani... The ukwuani people close to isoko speak isoko and those close to emu speak emu.

Thanks. What can you tell me about this town Ase.

I know a family from there, sometimes they say they are Isoko, sometimes they say they are Ukwuani. Is that not identity crisis?

Then I know another person from Ase that says he is Igbo?

Based on the close boundary between the Isoko/Emu and Ukwuani people, they share dialectical similarities, they inter-marry and even co-habit. They live in each other's villages and some even claim the opposite tribe as theirs, because an outsider cannot tell the difference. Their people are warm and hospitable, but don't mess with their ladies!

Kwale is a town?

The information I have is that Kwale is what the Ika people call the Ukwuani people.

Could be wrong.

No

Kwale is anglicizd version of ukwuani

Oyibo couldn't pronounce ukwuani
The same way they couldn't pronounce igbuzor and they called it ibusa
Owere for Owerri
Enugwu for enugu


All these are ibo

Kwale, Ndoni,and Ndokwa dialect is a pure blend of Anambra, Enugu, and Abakaliki dialects. But due to ignorant of their origins, they claim benin, which is wrong.

I am Enugu- Ikwerre man and I realize that; Ikwerre, Ndoni-Ogba-Egbema, ahaoda,all in rivers state, and Ndokwa, Ika, Aniocha,etc. In delta state, are made up of all the various communities dialects spoken in Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Imo, and Ebonyi states.

I have studied these over a period of time now. And no body should doubt me on this.
They are all Igbo people. Even Buhari told the world that these groups are Igbo people.
The dialects they all speak are the grinded dailects spoken in Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi--especially.

While just little Igbo dialects spoken in Abia and Imo states are heard when they speak.

The ignorance of Buhari should be used as a standard to lump people with different identities together right?

I personally don't think that excuse is tenable

Ukwuani as well as Ika and the whole anioma are a melange of different cultures, igbo, edo, igala e.t.c but mostly of igbo + edo descent. Its not a matter of denying igbo or not.
Itsekiris are a melange of yoruba and edo cultures/origin. U cannot take away edo from them and neither can u take away yoruba from them. Neither yorubas nor edos are forcing itsekiri to claim being yoruba or edo. They are who they are.
That is just the way most Ukwuanis and most Aniomas i think just want to be. Let their igbo be part of them and let their Edo be part of them. U cannot take away either from them.
