Look at this frustrated old fool,can't stand Imo people because they are a threat or what? After all it's obvious your sorry ass can't stand Anambarians hence the silly outburst. An slowpoke that doesn't know the road to her village and probably dating or married a Fulani man calling someone efulefu. Ina di Ihu ka arlusi Okija.

Why is she unleashing her frustration on me.. i made a general observation and never said only Imo were guilty but she didnt see that part. shows how much she hates anambra and couldnt stand the blow...I am proud of being Igbo that is why i had the guts to go on facebook and fight chino for embarrasing Igbos by calling Imo girls prostitutes and derailing Imo and Anambra thread and unlike a wannabe peacemaker i took the war on him to facebook and not on nl inorder to be called a good girl. an act he punished me for by exposing my pics but the shame was theirs because i'm not the ugly beast they expected to see. anaghimewe ziwe afterall anyi no na lent...

Ihuomadinihu:

i guess calling Imos Efulefu is a good comment.
Others overlooked it because they knew it was a clannish and prejudiced comment that came from a little girl. I had to burst it up before others inteprete it as fact. Old cargo? Nobody mentioned age here.

@ihuomadinihu and peppyluv, these bashful utterances should cease. please. As much as I love reading them, we are loosing the essence of the greater good of the thread. You are both very intelligent and I love reading your comments on issues concerning our ethnic group, but to think that you would go to these abysmally low level to make uncomplimentary divisive and personal attacks against a kindred is not encouraging.

Well, this extinction and endangerment of languages is a global phenomenon, especially with the centralisation and the state of officialdom and promotion of a particular language amongst a geographical babel like Nigeria or even our Igbo land.

Beyond the global trends, I feel the problem lies more with the Diaspora, which we the Igbo are more apt to become. We are by nature migratory, and mercantile and in order to do well, adopt a generally well spoken language and keener to use it and this have affected our relationship with kindreds from other clans. Again, I feel our dialects varies more when compared to that of other Nigerian tribes.
I was born and raised outside the Igbo land, and my parents raised us mainly in our dialect, which differs in so many ways from the Igbo spoken in say, the city of Aba (the biggest city in my state). Until recently, I would be more comfortable speaking English to a fellow Igbo from a different state or region than in Igbo for ease of communication.
Secondly, its also a generational thing, we all speak Igbo comfortably at home, save for our youngest sibling, his inability or unwillingness to speak the language baffles us although we too may have some blame for it.
Parents are the major culprits of this heinous disservice, they feel that speaking to a child in English from birth will make the child sound more urban or learned. However, recent trends in the mass failure in the English Language exams in WASSCE and NECO indicates otherwise.

We can tackle these trends by preaching this at our Union Meetings. Parents have a huge role to play. Let there be a reversal in the trends. A pride in our language reflected in our daily activities and passed down to our born and. unborn children, for the world to marvel at the sound of our sweet language.

Well,everyone can testify that she started the insults and personal attacks. It's very clear that she has deep repugnance for Imo people, but it's uncalled for in this thread. Am only asking her to provide proofs that Imo pps are responsible for the socalled extinction. It's so annoying that people are debating a very important issue and all she could come up with is how Imo people are Efulefus. This clearly demonstrates how fragamented we are compared to other ethnic groups in Nigeria.
To my disappointment,no one has directly told her that her assumptions and claims are wrong.
It seems people just sit back,enjoy the banter and laugh at it. Even her 'brothers' silently approve of such nonesense. Vice versa, they would have jumped on that person headlong!
I confronted her because her comments were vile and narrowminded,not that i am i come from Imo state. She/people should learn the basic concept of not inferring from someone's comments.
On a different note,the UN studies was probably done in the diaspora. Igbo language is alive and kicking in South-East/South South Nigeria. I have relatives all over Nigeria and they succeded in teaching their kids how to speak and write igbo. At the end of the day,it boils down to individual efforts or lack of interest to teach/learn igbo language.

Well, the weight of her comments could have been made worse by her previous posts relating to Imo state on Nairaland, away from this particular thread. However, I don't know anything about that, so I can't judge or reprimand her justly if I do. 'Efulefu' should however not be attributed to people from a particular state, the phenomenon is present in all states and there is no statistic to show a more prominence among people from a particular state or is this a clear occurrence more exclusive to a particular group of people generally conceived as common knowledge.
The problems lie more with the Diaspora, that, I am sure of. What I can't attest to is its much more prominence among a particular people from a particular state.

And of course, I believe the Igbo language is well alive in its ancestral home.
