Haha. This one you agree today, hope dey no put something for your tea.

Eze2000:



Lol, didn't know that. Only knew of Ndoni LGA cos I go there at least once a year and it's normal igbo they speak there.

garfield1:


You are always harsh.what of the indigenous people of delta north and oyigbo in rivers? Are you saying yorubas in kwara or okun in kogi are just residents?

dared0637:
Well this is for the useless "we the South South" crew here's a picture posted by popular comedian Basket mouth on his Facebook (a South South boy) from Delta state, proudly representing his Igboness.

Poloyanabo2:

Don't mind that guy but there are a majority of Igbos in Rivers state, Igbo LGAs includes Ikwerre, Emohua, Obio Akpor, Etche, omumma, Ahoada, ogba/egbema/ndoni, and Oyigbo.
All these LGAs make up up to 35-40% Rivers state's population

Patrioticbreed9:

Ahoada west ain't igbo's one bit! my mum is from there and she ready to stab you knife if you refer her as one!. on the order my dad is from emohua and he has never for once deny his igbo ancenstry.

helinues:


You may see it as harsh but that's just the blunt truth..

Enough of massaging some Igbo/Yoruba people's ego about this.

As long as Kwara state is still recognized as NC region in Nigeria law, those Yorubas living there are merely a resident in Kwara state... If they are proud of their Yorubaness, let them relocate to any of the SW states. The land was lost, end of discussion.

When Gowon, the evil genius dissolved the old Western and Eastern region, He deliberately caught out where the concentration of Igbos are in the new SS from the border line with SE states. If you look at it in extensions. Those are lost lands. End of discussion

Nobody is denying them of owing the lands , nobody is denying there are no indigenous Yorubas in Kwara, Indigenous Igbos in SS but the reality is, the place they now belong is no longer their region, it's someone's else.

Fejoku:

Most people don't know up to 30% of Rivers state yet they rush in just to comment and spite Igbos. Unfortunately, some SE Igbos don't know either and they make comments that can easily be misconstrued for something else.
Since you're from Emuoha LGA, can you tell us which spelling is the correct one for your area. Emohua or Emuoha then tell us its meaning.

Patrioticbreed9:

Emohua is our L.G.A and emohua/emuoha is a town in it..

Fejoku:

What does Emohua mean in the local dialect?

Fejoku:
Ahoada West and Ahoada East LGAs are occupied by at least two different people. The whole of Ahoada East is made up of only Ekpeyes (an Igboid group) with its headquarters being at Ahoada town while Ahoada West consists still of Ekpeyes and some Edoid and Ijoid groups whose headquaters is Akinima.
A good number of Ekpeyes are Igbophilic.

Patrioticbreed9:

Ahoada west ain't igbo's one bit! my mum is from there and she ready to stab you knife if you refer her as one!. on the order my dad is from emohua and he has never for once deny his igbo ancenstry.

Afriifa:
Ahoada west is dominated by Engenni Ijaws whom have strong ancestral links with the Edos. So how can one refer to an Engenni person as Igbo? The person wan die? Don't mind the Igbos.

garfield1:


I agree with you.out of the 23 lgas in rivers,the four ikwerre lgas,ahoada east and west,etche and omuma,onelga,oyigbo are igbotic though ikwerres deny their igboness.oyigbo and etche embrace it fully.ahoada are inbetween just like onelga.there are a few sprinkling of igbos in bonny and abolga.I think 40% -50% is ok considering that majority of the residents of ikwerre and etche and oyigbo are non indigenes

Patrioticbreed9:

Emohua is our L.G.A and emohua/emuoha is a town in it..

garfield1:


I understand you now.igbo heartland is south east,any igbo outside there indigenous or not is in an exercise of self deception.same applies to the yorubas

Patrioticbreed9:

are you from rivers ?

truth to be said eh.. ahaoda west na edo dem be

blues234:

Which part of Emohua are you from? Mbitainwo, Ndele, Ogbakiri, Elele Ali Mini, etc?
I know why I'm asking.

Patrioticbreed9:

mbueto.

why are you asking

garfield1:


I understand you now.igbo heartland is south east,any igbo outside there indigenous or not is in an exercise of self deception.same applies to the yorubas

Patrioticbreed9:

what does owerre,awka,afipo,onicha,abkaleke,nsuka,aba mean in the your language ?

dared0637:

As a Rivers man, which Igboid parts of Rivers identify fully with their Igbo roots? of course with the exception of the Ikwerres...

Patrioticbreed9:

truth to be said! None. but we veiw the etche's as igbo though!

But families matters too. In our family my dad usualy forces to read igbo text books and other igbo related books too. in the ikwerre tribe our people are also seen as igbo's due to our un seriose dialect

Fejoku:

Owere(Owerri) means expanse land behind a settlement in my dialect.
Óká(Awka) has a meaning I don't know but Awka indigenes can tell you.
Ehugbo(Afikpo) has a meaning the locals can tell you. I'm not from there.
Onicha(Onitsha) is an old Igbo word I'm still digging dip to get its meaning.
Aba nke leke (Abakiliki) means something the locals can tell you.
Nsuka(Nsukka) has a meaning the locals can tell you just like Nsude and Nsugbe nearby has a meaning too.
Aba has a meaning too which the locals can tell you.
Igbo language is very vast which is why I asked you as a local of that LGA. I do understand spelling might change due to anglicization but the locals can always state the correct spelling hence I asked you.

dared0637:

So Etche identify as Igbos...Noted
How about Obigbo (Oyigbo) people?

helinues:
There are Igbo residents in SS just as how they are in other region/country

Mic dropped!

Patrioticbreed9:

mbueto.

why are you asking

Patrioticbreed9:
