Are you from Oloibiri or Opobo that you will give it a try?

In Ijawland we are not Ohaneze ndi Igbo that their first attempt to speak in their tongues turned into a meeting to resolve never to speak in Igbo because after the first speaker it was clear that was the tower of Babel.

I accept your surrender

Next time don't write long story just type.
" the usual has happened in Niger state"

We will understand

yomi96:
bullshit.typical of clowns like u that feed on crumbs from ur master

All these harsh words just because I want young innocent enterprising Fulani Herdsmen to live in your region?
What happened to One Nigeria and your accommodating spirit?
I don't expect this from you. I'm ashamed on your behalf

I'd marry his type anytime any day. He's very cool not a drama type. Though I don't like his smoking habit. I once boomed into him in a hotel in Abuja. He was sitting with few friends and was smoking that big long brown cigar.

Wait oh. So you want to marry a man.
Wonders shall never end

I support the Governor. The innocent Fulani Herdsmen should be allowed to live in SW like every other person

PHijo:
They speak Ijaw language!

We said we are not Igbo and we don't have anything to do with you, you who insists otherwise is calling me Igbo wannabe!

Wonders never end....

LOL. So you mean you can interpret something written in Opobo dialect as well as something written in oloibiri dialect?
Should we give it a try?

PHijo:
They don't speak Igbo!
Short and simple.

We are tired of Igbo people's attachment by force behaviour.

Then what do they speak? Mr Igbo wannabe

theFilmtric:
I'm very young-far younger than you think But I seem to be intellectually older than you are That's a shame Good riddance

theFilmtricsay

Ok you are good to go "kid"

PHijo:
How?

Everybody knows it is Igbos who try to be like other ethnic nations in Nigeria.

We are yet to accuse another ethnicity of imposing their language on our people like you guys do when Opobo, Okirika, Andoni and Ibani is mentioned.
And here you are shamelessly dragging these Igbo speaking clans with us claiming we imposed our language on them.

PHijo:
Being the Bush man that you are, you wouldn't know what commodities were of importance in international trade.

At least if you don't know us for any other commodities you should know us for selling Igbo slaves.

Ohh! My bad, I forgot you are too young and Nigeria stopped teaching history in schools.

Atleast you've now known why you don't own land in your community

As an Igbo I am sure you must have smoked a big wrap of Igbo!

You never had access to our kingdoms until Nigeria came into existence.

Igbo people were never 1st, 2nd nor 3rd choice in our place. Our women never married Igbo, it was seen as a downgrade. If not for churches that have helped you today, people knew marrying an Igbo was a taboo. No woman did that!

Funny.
Especially coming from people that try as much as possible to look like Igbo

Please Mr lawan whatever you do, I beg in the name of God not to slap any of the SW Governors

PHijo:
Our occupation as traders and fishermen made it necessary for us to be at the coastal areas.

There is nothing to fear about the Igbo!

Igbo that are scared of the Fulani are not people we would in any way be scared of.

You trader? With who exactly?
Oga your occupation as a fisherman was out desperation to survive because you are always on the run. Hence you had no land

PHijo:
If only you knew the story of Aro you won't be making noise! This is why groups like Fulani who are a minority amongst minorities use you Igbo like toothpick.

Igbo people did not sell other Nigerians, they ( Igbo) were being sold by every other group. It is no coincidence your DNA litters the whole world.

Our DNA litters all over your place because we took your aboriginal men and deposited our gene in your females. This is the reason why individuals don't own lands in your place.
Now you know a little bit of your history

PHijo:
Cowardly cannibals but when you try us we show you shege.

Nigeria couldn't defeat your Biafra until we joined the fray.

If what we have in Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and Rivers is what you call a "stream" then it obvious you don't know the difference between between borehole water and waterfall. We have direct access to the Atlantic ocean from several points in Ijawland and you call that a "stream"?

Some of the people you Nri Igbo today spoke other languages many years ago. Their languages changed largely due to Igbo benefitting from colonialism.

We were to terrifying to you guys that you brought up the Cannibal story. Oga we take your people to make better use of them.
If you think otherwise then why are you small and scattered? Don't you know you were running from some people?

2Lynx:
Well you are so right on this...the Igbos will let go, if you want out. And this is just in their gene remember they solely practised indirect rule under the colonial masters this is coming after every effort to get them organized under one central government failed...they place so much emphasis on linage and clan rulership even till this day...if the Igbos should successfully get divorced from this matrimony called Nigeria and then other tribes should join her, if those tribe wants to move out, it will be so easy...very easy, like, say the word and the igbos would let you go cheaply and still give you resources sef....
...But with the way things are going I just hope this trait is still in the igbos

That is how we are brought up. I've watched many towns get autonomy in person. So it's more like our identity.

PHijo:
Taaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!

Who born monkey?

Disorientated and disorganized Igbo are the ones who would enslave Ijaw people who had city states that that had embassies in other continents of the world?


Ohu and Osu were Igbo people who committed "crimes" and were ostracized by the larger community.

"Taaaaaaaaahhhh!!!" trying to act like an Igbo man.
You know you can scare the original.
Ohu means slaves and most of them are from Igala and people with no identity which are present Ijaw people.
During those days we hunted the people with no identity too much that they moved further down the mongrooves in a bid to hide from us. But thanks to Arọ, we discovered you and I don't think you can hide from your destiny

christistruth01:
Are you trying to claim the undisputedly Ijaw towns of Opobo and Bonny for Igbos.

Now I understand better why Ojukwu received such a very heavy beating in the Civil War

Ojukwu received some beating and here you are with neither clean water to drink nor a farm. Your warlord died on mystical causes during the war and you still talk about the war.
Tell me just one thing you gained after the war except the poverty you longed for

PHijo:
Lies!

Since when did Igbo start crossing water?

Instead of keeping quiet you keep forcing people to expose your( Igbo) slave history.

Igbos doesn't cross water and Nri managed to get to cross the Niger river to present day Delta state. Akwukwu-Nri and Ogwashi-Ukwu Nri are classical examples and you think the streams you have in Bayelsa shielded you from our grasp in the dark ages.
Ask your people who we are. You think we are peace loving Christians?

IDENNAA:
Example is my mother. She would say deje olu... Meaning great job. Obosi people would also say Nije daalu.

All these things I am teaching is worth money ooo

And I think we should stop

PHijo:
My friend for mental evaluation!

That most people in America share same DNA with you Igbo won't qualify you to vote in American elections.

The Ijaw did not even have that level of interaction with Igbos! Thank God for what Lugard and Nigeria gave you and stop overestimating yourselves.

Oga we did. Ask your old relatives. Where do you think the Osu and Ohu (slaves) in Northern Igboland come from.
Don't tell me you thought they grow on trees.
They are from Igala, Ijaw and other minorities. Those days they were used for sacrifice or some dedicated to the God's or used to prepare Alusi.
So you have never wondered why you people are small?

IDENNAA:
How would you know, of course you arent from Anambra...lol

Olisa is a short form of Olisebuluwa. This is exhausting.

Nwolosebuwa also Nwachukwu
Nwosa/ Nwa Olisebuluwa
Olisa/Olisebuluwa emeka
Okosa/ Nwoke Olisebuluwa melu mma
Mbosa/ mbelu Olisebuluwa
Osegboo/ Olisebuluwa gbolu ogu
Osakwe/ Olisebuluwa kwelu
Osefo/ Olisebuluwa efolum
Oseloka/ Olisebuluwa eloka(My son's name and many uncles)


This is not enough to cause Igbo disunity. Igbo is still Igbo but very diverse even in looks.

You don't speak like someone that have lived in Igboland.
Which one is Oliseburuwa?
Maybe you heard Olisa kere ụwa and you think you can manipulate it.
Olisa is a name as it is.
Just type Nwolisa on your search board and stop telling everybody you don't live in SE

PHijo:
Why don't you call him Hope Uzodinma at once?

The same Asari-Dokubo that said Igbo people are Ijaw people's slaves and will always remain Ijaw people's slaves is the one you shamelessly claim!

In case you don't know, Asari-Dokubo is a former president of the Ijaw Youth Council and was those behind the Kaiama declaration.

So once someone say something it becomes the truth.
My dear go for DNA test or ask your grandfather why you live in creeks.

Not everybody can be followed with a language. They sell that in market these days

IDENNAA:
Deje was not imported because it's not exclusive to Nssuka. We say deje daalu which means well done and thank you.

I have never heard anybody seen anybody use deje and Daalụ together
Please we need to stop this we've said a lot.

I can feel your heart beat Afonjazzy

IDENNAA:
The nomenclature is not so important to me right now. I have used "Omanbala" , "Ideocha", and "Onicha" to identify this Anambra form of speech.

Meanwhile, Osebuluwa not Oseburuwa(Imo copied from Anambra) is rooted in antiquity in Anambra. It doesn't belong to Onicha.
Osegboo
Mbosa
Okosa
Olisa
Nwosa
etc are all ancient in Anambra.

Olisa as a name is totally different from Oseburuwa or Osebuluwa as you call it.
Nwosa is short form Nwolisa (my classmate bears this as surname those days)
Okosa =Oke olisa
Like I said before we need to stop this so as not to feed the Bini poachers what they need. They are already hunting for things to manipulate here.
Olisa is actually the God of Creation just like Oseburuwa. Olisa is more used across the entire Igboland especially in Anambra.
Olisa=Chineke=Olisa=Oseburuwa(Onitsha dialect mostly used in Catholic Church)

IDENNAA:
*sigh*

Of course , Nnewi is in Anambra central. I can't you see I know Anambra very well.

Listen to Ajofia Nnewi and tell me whether they sing like Ndi Anambra or Imo. Nnewi is Anambraic, kponkwem!

Give up , please.

I think we need to stop the argument here. Anyị amarọ ka anyị si nọ dị. We don't know the intent those reading all these things have for Igbo and Anambra in particular. I am modifying some of my comments to full stop.

.

iSlayer:
There's a post where someone said what is spoken across various Anambra communities are similar yet distinct. This is the truth. The "general" Igbo spoken across is not Onicha dialect, though it may be close. No matter how much one speaks this "general" Igbo, one with a keen ear can still pinpoint where you're from.

Again, any move to supposedly impose one particular dialect, no matter how sweet it is on the tongue will be resisted. The indigenous dialects across the state, from Onicha to Awka to Nnewi and interior areas remain sacrosanct to the people, traditionally and otherwise.

You've said it all. Infact what is spoken in Enu Onitsha is not actually Onitsha dialect. It a dialect formed out of cohabitation of various Igbo groups over the years. It is very different from the original Onitsha dialect and the indigenes will tell you so. It is even modernizing every year. Like recently they included de je, something that is peculiar to Nsukka dialect.
In summary anybody that can understand the new dialect they speak in Igbo cities like Onitsha or the entire Anambra State because there is a way we are interwoven unlike others can understand any kind of dialect in Igboland.
The best is to leave it like that. Don't tag a name to it so as not to bring resistance and allow nature take over
