Tonimordred: Dialectical difference. Anioma, Anambra and parts of Enugu say 'enu'. Enu also means 'life' in Igbo for those who speak Enuani Igbo (Ogbaru, Asaba, Atani etc). 1 Like |

A big round of applause for this basic yet very insightful attempt at emphasizing the similarities (outside football) and differences in language shared by the two ever castigating groups on this platform. If we all take a cue from this and seek to dwell on the similarities and understand the differences, then...not only will PMB be retired to Daura, but moreso, the beginning of a GREAT NIGERIA. Op, Kudos to you |
