Culturally and traditionally, the anioma people of delta state are not Igbo's. The language might be similar. The core Igbo's refers yo delta igbo are 'Igbo Hausa". Which is derogatory and a classification. To avoid long explanations like in case of Derbi, average aniomas might call him/herself Igbo. We don't say Igbo kwanu in our meetings.

I also found this online from a globally accepted site not some funny backyard blog

Anioma are the Igbo communities in Delta State. They are popularly known as Delta Igbos or Western Igbos. Anioma means Good Land in Igbo Language.
Anioma consist of Enuani, Ukwuani, Ndokwa, Ika and Oshimili/Aniocha of Delta State. It has an estimated total population of approximately 1.8 million people.

Ika is a subgroup of the Igbo people in Delta state .
Ika people are specifically located in the North-West of Delta State but some of their communities like Igbanke/IgboAkiri, Oligie, Inyelen and Ekpon spilled over into Edo State . Ika communities mostly comprise the following: Agbor, Owa,(Agbor and Owa being the major Ika speaking place) Umunede, Owerre Olubor, Ekuoma, Emuhu, Mbiri, Abavo, Orogodo, Otolokpo, Igbodo, Ute-Okpu, Ute-Ogbeje, Idumuesah, Akumazi, Ekpon (Edo State), Igbanke/Igbo Akiri (Edo State), Oligie (Edo State), Inyelen Edo State), Iru (Edo State). Other Ika communities found in Edo State are Owanikeke, Ute Oheze , Ute Obagie N’Oheze, Owa-Riuzor Idu and Igbogili. The Ika have a unique language, food and mode of dressing similar to their Igbo kits and kin across the River Niger and their Bini neighbours.

The different is between ikwerre and revert ibos in PH

I did a research and I found Chibuike Amaechi saying that he is Igbo and Ohaneze secretary general also an ikwerre man

Also I did further research and I found this


The Ikwerre (natively known as Iwhuruọha is one of the Igbo groups in Rivers State. They are considered as a part of the larger Igbo ethnic group. They speak Ikwerre, an Igbo dialect, which is sometimes considered a separate language in the
Igboid family, as a result of the quest for Ikwerre's recognition as a separate ethnic nationality.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikwerre_people


so I think I would go with the one that I found!

I appreciate your response

can you please explain how they are not Igbo
culturally
traditionally



do they have different culture and traditions

let's look at the days of their weeks
let's also look at the traditions
let's also look at breaking of kola
let's also look at the names of their kings and elders (culture )
let's also look at the names of their traditional gods


I am interested in this conversation...this would buttress the distinguishing factors as you said

vivaciousvivi:
I am a bit confused reading the comments.
Isn't she ibo though?
I am from Oshimili north and present myself as delta ibo always. What's wrong with that? We speak ibo. What am I to call myself? I am Anioma??

I think that agbor folks are the most confused from their leader

trust me .....they even call Enuani pure Igbo

Awoo88:
Agbor is anioma

but they said agbor isn't Igbo and the last time I checked , Anioma is a pure 100% Igbo word so how come agbor Is part of this Igbo word yet they said they are not Igbo ...cann you help me out understand

Awoo88:
It sounds like Igbo does not make it Igbo. She is delta Igbo

please what is the difference. between Igbo in delta and Igbo in Anambra
also what is the meaning of Anioma in delta Igbo language?
I would love to learn sir

petitejolie:
She goofed in dis. Where she hails from dont shout igbo kwenu as greetings. She has zero idea of where she comes from. She had nothing to say sef on DAT day.

she lost it even in Igbo culture...women don't shout Igbo kwenu ! women have their greetings ...no Igbo woman would come and say Igbo kwenu in Igbo land

Igboid:
Yeah.
The village champions are bitter, hollow and senseless too.

Agbor is a stone throw from Benin. If they were Bini, they would be at least be speaking an Edoid language.
Far away Isoko, Urhobo, Epie/Attisa(Yenegoa), Udekeme (Degema), Engenni (Ahoada west) all migrated from Bini and all speak Edoid language today.

What is happening in Agbor and environment is a testament to the fact that education is wasted on the average black man.
We continue to prove again and again our inability to rise above irrationality and embrace rational thought process, analysis and actions.

agbors case is unfortunate

longetivity:
only God protects us in this country

Bayelsa is cursed from the look of things

land of rascals and never do wells

kettykin:
This thread is about some of the scorched earth policies the Nigerian state instigated against the igbo Nation and how it it backfiring.


Policy ;The deliberate exclusion of the igbos from commanding Posts of the Military.
Backfire ; Today the Military is a big Joke , most parts of the Nations are under the grip of militancy, insurgency , banditry,Ritual killing , 1 million boys etc.

Policy ;The deliberate removal of igbo speaking territories to other states .
Backfire; Today Igbo is a major language in the Niger Delta with igbo speaking Governors and first ladies in 2 core Niger delta states.

Policy; The exclusion of South East from the National Rail way Program funded with borrowed loans from China
Backfire ; The sovereignty of some sections of the Country has been signed off to a New super power triggering fears of another economic colonization of certain parts of the country

Policy; The unjustified closure of the Enugu International Airport with an unsual very long maintenance Period.
Backfire ; The South East was shielded from the Covid Pandemic helping the region to prepare and get ready to reduce the casualties , the south east has least casualty figures.

policy; Policy of political Marginalization of the Igbos 5% and 97% policy
Backfire; the 5%ters are now Ministers in Foreign First world Countries, Parliamentarians, Supreme court judges, First class scholars, first class bankers, firstclass Engineers, business leaders etc

Policy; The imposition of 20 pounds policy

Lord bless you...also don't forget marginalisation of SE which made Igbo to migrate to other areas now today they are having chunk of other people's economy while retaining theirs 97%

SLAP44:
Poverty is a bad thing.

how can you say such a thing about those that came from the highest IGR, ZONE

phemmie06:
Let them fill their tanks (car, lorry, bus, truck generator) with it.

remember these guys are sophisticated and they are coming from a high IGR area....

do you call this poverty ? I don't know

define irony? irony is when a citizen of oil rich nation like NIGERIA steals no, scoops crude oil from dilapidated and abandoned ship


this is the lowest of the low

Magicians:
This is from a cursed soul. Your father n forefather have been making foolish n senseless comment on the like of Awolowo Tinubu from 1960 but when you are told about how pathetic your tribe is you start wailing like lunatic on NL.


Is your foolish region not the poverty capital of the south with all your chest beating ? So foolish souls like you can rush to Lagos n SW thread to insult them but your father is wailing like bereaved bigot because you are told the truth to your face. It is God that will punish u n your entire household for berating the guy for telling you the truth.

Oloshious fellow !

for you to write this on a Monday it means you are just jobless

RuggedSniper:
Bini emigration... This is mad sick

it is unfortunate....I wonder how people can come from Benin yet name their place Ukwuani which is purely an Igbo name...I guess their elders were high on some cheap Ukwuani weed when they lost their Benin language to superior Igbo language...you loose inferior language to superior language


those guys are confused and that is why there place is still very backward

I have never lived in Ukwuani but I understand everything they speak (100%) from getting of their women oteofe (she who cooks soup ) to Ajee ( going well, go well or journey well from the word jee,)


but I think their forefathers were either stupid,high or fools for forgetting their language for a superior Igbo language

MASTAkiLLAh:

To whom it may concern : be it the fg , yoruba elders. yoruba muslims, western political elites. Etc who ever is close to ishaq akintola, and has his ear, should pls advise him to hold his tongue. Let me not even bore you with this guy's history and speeches, the one i wish to talk about now is the current one that is red hot : the NBA. Its on record that all this boycott of thier up coming annual meeting was by northern/muslim lawyers was initiated single-handedly by this muric guy. Now we now have a "mulan" a religous faction of the noble NBA. all thanks to ishaq akintola. Now the lawyers will start looking at themselves/clients with religious suspicion which is bad for any country. What is the mission of this man ? Cos from all his speeches he does not even make sense to himself. If this man were to be speaking for western moslem , one can understand. But what has he got with fulani that he has to tell fulani lawyers to boycott the NBA yearly meeting. This man should be cautioned before he sets fire to nig

when Igbo were shouting Yoruba Muslim,I thought they were kidding till Akintola of Muruc came along

trust Yoruba,the way awolowo introduced tribalism via famous cross carpeting and the way political RASCALITY was introduced by Ibadan mob (operation wetie) the way Yoruba would introduce pettiness


NBA is gone and divided....MURIC akintola would be remembeered and the North will never forget
