Why not do your own research and make corrections rather than just spoiling what i took my time to do.That is why Nigeria don't go foward, because we never appreciate efforts hence outsiders celebrate us more than we celebrate ourselves.Wake up and join in building the nation.

you posted an incorrect list and are getting defensive?

The real reason Nigeria is in a mess is because people dont take correction.

Instead of you to ask what you did wrong, you're abusing others.

list the 73 languages of Taraba state.

its incorrect in that no state actually has uniform language.my state imo for example is grouped as one languge while rivers is grouped as multilingual.the differences in various languages in rivers is almost thesame in imo.if imo is actually one language,then rivers is three languages-ijaw-igbo and ogoni.the difference between ogba and ndoni is thesame between egbema and oguta in imo state.the difference between ikwerre,etche and ndoki(obigbo) in rivers is still thesame with ngwa,asa and ndoki in abia state but i saw only one language in that report.these things are too difficult and complex to ascertain.ibani-okrika-kalabari are more or less ijaw language.

Rivers state with 23 languages. Is it because there are 23 local govt areas in Rivers state?. Over to you poster.

My brother take it kindly with the professor, like you said these are the kind of people who will claim they know much about an area and will be reeling out facts and figures of what they don't know sh!t about.

research [quote][/quote]

When has the dialect spoken in egbema in rivers state become different to the dialect spoken by egbema in imo state?

Egbema dialect in imo = igbo

Egbema dialect in rivers=ogbah?

@OP

Why do you think that website is beyond making errors or needs serious updating? Any website that lists Okrika-Tai-Eleme (OTELGA) as an LGA is at least frozen in time for 18 years and its contents should be read with a lot of reservations.

A lot of respondents have clarified the situation with RV state. Three Languages with some dialects that may be unique to certain areas which native speakers can understand the major language in that area. Igbo, Ijaw and Ogoni are these major languages which is why RSTV would only read news in Kalabari, Khana and Ikwerre.

you should have heard he talking with authority

I wonder if he's the Dr. Uwe Seibert of the Department of Languages and Linguistics, Faculty of Arts, University of Jos. That is what they teach to their students outdated and wrong facts. Imagine posting these with confidence. And people still ask what is wrong with our educational system. Something that is within nigeria which we don't require rocket science to achieve.

Tomorrow he will be an authority in Nigerian languages because he has obtained one useless paper, even if you are correcting him he will claim he got his useless degree by studying hard and doing an extensive research.

OP

thanks for your clarification

now kindly list the languages of some of the other "high-flying" states too.



i hope you know every village does NOT constitute a different language.

Have you ever heard of dialects?
