I'm certainly not searching for differences but these; shut - your - mouth - you - dont - know - who - u - are arguments just tick me off everytime. Why must people deny Bini heritage to be accepted as Igbo? In any case, i'm not sure i have the stomach for an argument over this so i'd be glad to see it pass.
Interesting u were in Aboh, i'm actually setting off back to my base at dawn - fuel permitting that is - hope you had a nice time?

Don't deny benin heritage ..I agree with that but please give us evidence of Benin heritage in terms of language and culture then we can agree but you have not been able to show your intellect

Are you not ashamed ....Benin no dey see you

In wonder your type is called fake Igbo

D ukwuani people r very much organised and matured people..unlike d igbos who r very much disorganised eva...i wonda who gav dem dat dirty name igbo meanin slaves in Ukwuani language...for ur informatioN,I tank God dat d NdOKWA ETHNIC NATION was not under d map of d Biafrans.why?? because of ur igbo selfish deeds if not d igbos would hav tried to OPRESS us but wouldnt hav suceeded.if not d biafra country would hav bin torn apart by now.. d Ukwuani ETHNICITY remainS those Greate Warriors who refused Opression by anybody.d only way dat it would hav worked is wen there is equity.d ukwuanis will rule,d igbos will rule ...hahahahahahah..i found out dat its only wen it comes to issues of beneficial aims to d Ukwuanis,ikweres dat u igbos will want to include a people of GREATER FAME to ur igbo Ethnicity..dis is called SELFISHNESS.... For ur information D ukwuani,ikwere,igbo are listed amongs d over 300 ethnic groupS in nigeria...so wat do u hav 2 say about dat??how com will u say dat they r d same igbo?? U r confused.. U cannot say dat plantain & banana is d same...they look very similar but r totally different plants,d orange and grape is not d same,they r different plants but might belong to d same ancestral link.even a twin is not even perfectly d same not to talk of UkWUANI vs IGBO with different people,culture,music,dressing,traditional believes,music,little linguistic similartity,etc...maybe As a scientist, if u proove to me dat this named and tested fruits r d same,then i will say dat u r a QUACK...so get dis words sticked 2 ur Igbo heads...dat is y u igbos fail 2 understand d science here...ukwuani is listed among d ethinic groups in nigeria,including igbo & ikwerre...they r familiar tribes just like d uhrobos and isokos...JUST LOOK At uRSELF NOW? Common sIMPLE SCIENCE U dont understand!!!hmmmm try 2 learn

Nobody is saying not yo be ukwuani or any village in Igbo

Then please give me link of government backed site that identified ukwuani as a tribe and language

Then point of correction orange is what is it and grape same but all are classified under citrus family

Then you said igbos meant slave ..dude you lie I know ukwuani well having married there ..let assumed that Igbo is slave ..the question who enslaved them which king enslaved them and when

If we will say those that are break slaves its ukwuani

There were enslaved by aboh then Benin

So disprove this ...

Now last thing can ukwuani measure up with any Igbo village in east ..if yea then name the village

OKs
Give us evidences not call names

Ceenelly:
Let ndokwa be ndokwa, and igbo be igbo, this are argument that we should put an end to. No matter what we say here if you pay a visit to ndokwa land 90% will publicly say they are not igbos. Let respect the view of every person/people on issue that concern themselves

Does ndokwa speak a different language from Igbo

Does ndokwa have different culture from Igbo

Does ndokwa have different names from Igbo

If yes do let me know the differences


Just like I know the difference between a dog and a goat

I will love to know the difference between a cheetah and leopard ..if they are different feline family


I await your answers

shizzle11:
lol... pathetic indeed! I bet you the confused, despicable monkey may not be able to answer those elementary questions. I dont mind learning some ukwuani too, courtesy of a deluded Vicgoat His escapist mentality is very evident, probably he found himself in the midst of real and proud Igbo men but couldn't measure up with their progress.

My joy is that even real ukwuanis i have met see themselves as who they are-Igbo. Good enough we have a first-hand example in your wife and I'm sure they will not hesitate to disown the fvcktard loser that calls himself victor, the doofus isn't even worth expending much time on, I'm done with him.

Nna

I argue with him not because he can measure up intellectually or otherwise ..I ask him so that the world will know his foolishness

I have been to the whole ukwuani and the whole ukwuani from ogume to ashaka then obiaruku can not measure io with my only village in Nnewi not to talk of the whole Nnewi south

I am waiting for him to prove to me that ukwuani is not Igbo by giving me basic translation for these words or any word he wants

Not that its important cos I know he will lie ..I have an ukwuani wife and I hear Benin also having lived at siluko... I am still waiting for victor

This will put an end to this argument and his name calling


Just for posterity reasons

victor1464:
WE ARE PROULDY UKWUANI!!!LONG LIVE NIGERIA!!LONG LIVE NDOKWA NATION!!!I REMAIN FAITHFUL,LOYAL AND HONEST TO THE ENTIRE NDOKWA NATION..Bleep those monkeys!!!!

Nobody is saying your not ukwuani and I am in the position that you speak a different language

Please can you lecture me on those questions I asked

Ukwuani 101

Pls we are waiting for the translations of those basic words or any word you chose pls

We are waiting ...

Is it that Chinese car ..where can I buy the body part is it manual

Sile12:
A NY man retired. He wanted to use his retirement money wisely, so it would last, and decided to buy a home with a few acres in Portugal. The modest farmhouse had been vacant for years, the owner and wife both had died, and there were no heirs. The house was sold to pay taxes. There had been several lookers, but the large barn had steel doors, and they had been welded shut. Nobody wanted to go to the extra expense to see what was in the barn, and it wasn't complimentary to the property anyway. So, nobody made an offer on the place and was neglected and abandoned since the death of the owner in the early 80s.The retired man bought it, moved in, and set about to tear in to the barn, curiosity was killing him. So, he and his wife bought a generator, and a couple of grinders and cut through the welds.

The owner of the property was an automobile dealer in the 1970s and 1980s, he decided to save the more interesting cars that came through his doors in secrecy. Built up an assemblage of cars over the years and stashed them in the barn (Padlocking and soldering the doors shut when the structure was full)before his sudden death..

Stocking property won't help and its good to have kids or do charity thing

But oyibo will marry and decide not to have kids

LINDA IKEJI BLOG IS BACK, BELLA NAIJA IS ON

These are igbos doing what we do best..which is take over, we dont compete but take over


we do not take POW, hostage etc, we crash whatever we land on


its is not our making, dont be annoyed but we GIVE GOD THE GLORY


now go and rest in peace

segend:
"A rather unpleasant trend seems to be the norm of late, habit of not taking taking responsibility for ones actions, being unable to face the facts and admit that you are wrong, thoughts that there is someone, something out there that is to blame. Attitudes common amongst us, and now showing up among those in place of power.

Presidency makes a mistake, blames it on opposition. Politicians never admit to stealing, its always a case of power that be witch hunting them. If your poorly built building collapse, why accept responsibility when you can blame it on a strange aircraft, and if your blog is taken down for plagiarism, you can always point fingers at haters.

Sign of a matured person is his ability to accept responsibilities for his actions, being able to look at himself in the mirror and accept that he goofed, and make corrections.

As long as the problem is out there, nothing will be done about it.

Until we start doing this individually, and start making people responsible for their actions, until we start holding those in authority responsible for their actions, then can we as a people be ready to grow and move forward"

What you are about to read is quite long…and chilling! I wasn’t going to share this info in public but after I showed it to some family members and a few friends who came to the house this morning, everyone agreed that I need to share this, that you all need to read this. You see, what happened with my blog wasn’t about beef. It wasn’t because I showed off my new SUV. It wasn’t about plagiarism, or copyright infringement. It was something deeper, very personal…and maybe even more dangerous. Some would call it obsession.

To understand this, I am going to start from the beginning but before that I want to talk about plagiarism. My understanding of plagiarism is when you take someone’s work and republish it verbatim as your own work. I don’t do that. But if I have ever done that in the past then I apologize…it was an oversight. I do get a lot of original content, way more than any other blogger in this country. Some of the biggest news stories in this country in recent times was broken by LIB. From Goldie’s death (God rest her soul) Aluu4, ABSU rape, P-Square saga, Solomon Akiyesi and plenty more. And when I take news from other sources, I always credit them. When I don’t give credit is when the news is everywhere so I write it in my own words and make it mine. I don’t believe that is a crime. I admit that I have used photos without giving credit. I apologize. That will never happen again. You learn every day. And I have learnt from this.

Now about Mr Aye Dee. Let me start from the very beginning so you guys understand what really happened. Please read more.

Like I said earlier, this was not about copyright or plagiarism. It was personal. Very personal. In 2009 or 2010…(not sure) a guy named Alex who used to run 1976AD blog contacted me. He said he was impressed with my work and wanted to encourage me to never relent. Alex Info 1976AD (how I knew him back then) and I became very good friends online. In fact he was my confidant. Every time I had questions or challenges, I would reach out to him. By 2011, Alex 1976AD and I became quite close…online. We even exchanged numbers and spoke a few times. He always reminded me how proud of me he was. He told me I would one day become a phenomenon. I wasn’t number one at the time but he told me that I would one day be the biggest news site in Nigeria…that he believed in me that much. He was my friend, my supporter; he sent me news to post on my blog. He wanted me to succeed. He told me things to do to get more readers. He knew a lot about the internet and how it works so I always went to him for advice. He was my anchor.

In 2011, Alex 1976AD made me his blog’s Person of the Year 2011. I shared that post excitedly on my blog. He said I was the most deserving Nigerian for the award that year…and he wrote the most beautiful article about me. He was so proud of me…and never hesitated to tell me. I was grateful. I was happy to have him as a friend.

Then we stopped talking. I sincerely can’t remember when exactly. I know that Alex 1976AD tried to reach out to me mid last year…but I can’t remember if I responded. If I didn’t, it was an oversight. I’m really bad at replying mails because I get so many and I’m always busy blogging…but anyway.

Yesterday around 2.07pm…my long lost friend Alex Info 1976AD contacted me via gmail chat. I was so happy when I saw his name pop up. I was like yay…Alex 1976AD! He would know what I should do in this situation. I thought he was reaching out to me after all this while because he’d seen all the craziness going on and wanted to lend support…but what he said to me next shocked me to my bone marrow. He said ‘I hope u’re sitting down’. Thankfully I was because I would have literally fallen if I hadn’t been sitting.

You see, my good friend and biggest supporter Alex 1976AD told me he was Mr Aye Dee. The same guy who started this. The guy that got Google to shut down my blog. It wasn’t about plagiarism or copyright infringement…it was about a scorned former friend. It was about love turning to hate because he felt I’d abandoned him after I became big. Please patiently read our chat below…

His last chat to me before yesterday was 12th of May 2013…

FOR US TO REALLY KNOW WHY LINDA IKEJI BLOGS WAS PULL DOWN , IT WAS A YORUBA MAN SNITCHING AND HATING THAT CAUSED THIS, BUT SHE WILL RESURRECT LIKE IGBOS DO, SHE WONT USE BLOGS NOW BUT WILL LAUNCH HER WEBSITE LIKE THE OTHER IGBO GIRL THAT RUNS BELLA NAIJA

Rochas tried

I am very happy with this,as an anambra boy, I call myself owerri boy cos I am the owerri nchi isii, why did I say that I was born in owerri, holy rosary hospital emekuku schooled in owerri first step nursery school and st pauls primary school douglas road then to cap it all great IMSU when men where men via works and aladinma movement…so I am an owerri man purely

Then as anambra and nnewi boy also I can say I have the best of both worlds..i can speak owerri fluently and anambra fluently, its been a long I visited owerri, still have family house just near weatheral road off school road, the last time I was there I couldn’t locate the roads. I wa like JJC in new owerri especially those concorde area

scribble:
For all the people that think Google did not have any malicious reason for killing Linda ikeji pls guess again.


It's not copyright like they say on the surface.

Linda ikeji is the biggest competitor to Google Nigeria adaense business.

Three things you have to understand,

1. Google Nigeria is not the same company as Google Inc. The former makes its profits in Nigeria where the online ad business is not as robust as it's intl counterpart.

2. Linda Ikeji makes millions of dollars directly from advertisers. This is money she takes out of Google's mouth. Whilst she still runs theirbadsense platform on her mobile and desktop sites making tens and tens of thousands of dollars routinely.

3. That is a threat to Google Nigeria. A few months ago, a Google ad sense worker turned whistleblower explained how Google has a policy of looking for ways to disconnect successful publishers from their ad sense revenue in order to drive the brands profit. That story was on front page then, if you need a link, ask me and I will provide.

So Google copyright argument is just their official line. Have you ever stopped to think why Nairaland does not run Google adsense?

As for the haters. Yes we all know Nigerians have jealousy and envy more than business acumen. I'm in the business. Linda is my competitor. My site makes 8 figures a year but I don't touch Google. Bastardos dealt with me before.

Linda's biggest mistake was not exclusively going to Nigerian brands direct and being on .

FOr you haters, I feel sorry for you because by the time she starts driving a Bentley you guys will choke on your hate.

Seun, mods pls front page Abeg. Wanted to say this on my other three yesterday But Phcn struck and I gave up. People need to know how Google ruins publishing business out of greed and corporate impunity and intolerance. PLS.

people think that google is just a charity organization, but google is just an online advert firm they just aggregate information. thats all, linda is a threat, igbos i trust them in business, they dont compete they just take over


now www.google.com.ng is feeling the heat


trust igbos

its like saying that the lion broke out of a kitten


identity complex aint good afterall



people like you are what they call fake igbo

[quote author=Deltagiant post=26990871][/quote]that is their submission and what they thing but i personally think that the term igbo isnt not invented by any one...it cam as natuarl as it is maybe i can admit that ibo oe ebo the anglicized version might be oyibo coinage due to the fact the could not pronounce the "gb"

just like ibusa for igbuzo
ukwuani for kwale
enugwu for enugu
owere for owerri
onicha for onitsha



Thats my submision and i have never been among the school of thought that igbo means slave, the term slave has it meaning...and beside that through out igbo history that have been free and they cherishh freedom that was why the powers of kings was so diluted..and that is my thought bro

shizzle11:
lol... pathetic indeed! I bet you the confused, despicable monkey may not be able to answer those elementary questions. I dont mind learning some ukwuani too, courtesy of a deluded Vicgoat His escapist mentality is very evident, probably he found himself in the midst of real and proud Igbo men but couldn't measure up with their progress.

My joy is that even real ukwuanis i have met see themselves as who they are-Igbo. Good enough we have a first-hand example in your wife and I'm sure they will not hesitate to disown the fvcktard loser that calls himself victor, the doofus isn't even worth expending much time on, I'm done with him.

i am just done with him, once in a while i quote him so as to see his foolishness, his foolishness pleases me


he doesnt need to tell me about ukwuani cos they are just delta igbo, the way we have igbos of anambra ,imo et al


i am done with him, let me face the work for the day


udo chia

your foolishness is legendary


go answer my questions in other threads


tell me the basic difference between your so called ukwuani and igbo

its like an owerri man or agbani man saying that he is not igbo but owerri


or londoner saying he is not english

hear yourselfg


but i will take the word of the kings in ukwuani not yours

and he hasnt said ukwuani is not igbo


now, get out of my face'

iv made my point very CLEAR dat ukwuanis & igbos r like siblins.they hav love 4 each other.as 4 those ukwuani who see themselves as igbos i wish them well.
Ndokwa people is not just one community dat speaks a dialect as we hav in igbo land.NDOKWA/UkWUANI is an ETHNIC NATION which comprises of its people who speaks their own various dialects,such as d utagba-ukwuani,onu-aboh,akashiada,& ossisa.some of d dialects r igbo-like.eg,onu-Aboh people.
The standard ukwuani language is d utagba ukwuani.it is dis language dat is taught in every govt. Primary & secondary schools within ndokwa nation... The igbo man feels very much comfortable with d ukwuani,ikwerre,ekpeye,and ika rather than any other tribe anywere oustside their teritory and so is d ukwuanis too.The Ukwuani man has neva seen himself as igbo right 4rm history of ukwuani people & d igbo man has neva seen himself as ukwuani too..but we know dat we r homogeneous people just as we hav other groups in nigerian such as d edos,esan and etsako,the urobo n isoko,d calabari n ezons,d efik n ibibos,d itsekiri,yoruba,igala n idomas,d hausas n kanuris.all dis r homogeneous people.they broke out of each other due to political reasons for development.every1 wants to retain his identity.this is wat makes up over 25
0
ethnic groups in Nigeria 2day.nobody wants 2b cheated..i know dat if all dis so called ethnic identies r merged,we will hav at most 20-50 groups in d country but this will lead to more cheatin & figthin.even for example,igbo land,d nsuka people of enugu wants a state.dis tells u dat they hav bin cheated by their fellow igbo brothers.that is to tell u how nigeria remains divided.I am PROUDLY UKWUANI/NDOKWA 4rm ANIOMA.anioma region cosist of homogenous people . It consist of A-Aniocha(igbo speaking),N-Ndokwa/ukwuani,I-ika,& O-oshimili.

[s][/s]what an IDDIOTT.

You will know who is who in this thread yet you agree silence is the best answer for a fool like you. What a clown! Like i said before you are just a frustrated dingbat and you are gradually beginning to reveal what your frustrations are. Your senseless opinion does not matter zilch, i clearly know your type, have seen one before so I'm totally not surprised.

Keep wallowing in your profound iddioccy with your poorly constructed jargons. Engaging you further will be given you prominence which an illiterate like you don't deserve. Educate and enlighten yourself for free from the articles provided above by christooher123 and get yourself out of your acute ignorance and confused hate-filled brain who is suffering from identity crises. Denying that you are Igbo does not change who you are you IDDIOTT, neither will your open expression oh hate for the igbos change, you are not the first to suffer from self-hate.

However like i said before, you have only expressed your myopic opinion which does not represent the opinion of Ndokwa/Ukwuani people and no sane Igbo man will express hate for the ndokwas on account of the frustrated rants of one repulsive goon nor take his misplaced submission as the thought/ideas of the ndokwa people.

Go purge yourself of self hate, learn more and improve on your poorly constructed grammar, then come back with better reasoning, until then, i wont entertain your folly

Ukwuani,Aboh, Elugu and Isoama are actually Delta, Anambra and Imo of today which means the Europeans were wise enough to notice the similarity and differences between the three as different tribes but still called them Igbo in general.

Ewu....read biko


Well, you should know that 100 years ago and beyond, all Igbo clans existed and bore the respective names of their clans. The onicha people identified as onicha, the awka man identified himself as awka, the ikwerre man said he's ikwerre, the owerre man said he's owerre and so on. The general name, 'igbo' was non-existent then and was NEVER used to classify these peoples. The same thing was also observed during the slave trade when 'igbo' slaves were taken from different clans in 'igboland' and when they arrived the americas and were asked their tribes, they mentioned instead their clan names such as etche, arondizuogu, isuama, omumma, okigwe, etc. How the whites got to call these language-related clans Igbo, no one knows. And when they were called Ebo by the whites the slaves were very much surprised as they had never heard the name before while back in their homeland. The term 'Igbo' might be a name borne out of slavery during the slave trade. In Asaba Igbo, 'Igbo' the way it is natively pronounced with down accents means 'slave' in their dialect while in other dialects it means nothing but the Igbo as we know it today whether tribe or language. Whether these delta igbo people used it to refer to other clans east of the niger who sold their people out to slavery as 'igbo'(slaves), I don't know, and maybe its there the name stuck up, nobody knows. But the name was carried over to the americas where the whites grouped all these clans speaking a common language together under one umbrella called 'Ebo'. Thank God they did if not the Igbo presence and identity in the slave trade would have forever been lost in the annals of history.

The usage of Igbo in Nigeria is only a recent construct that started in the 1920s. A newspaper of 1924 carries a story of an awka man and an onitsha man discussing over a new unfamiliar name the whites who had come into Nigeria were calling them. And when they prodded the whites further to ask them why they were being called a name they were not used to instead of their clan names as usual, the whites explained to them that because he the awka man speaks a language which the onicha man also speaks and understands then both clans must be related and are brothers so they will be called one name which is 'Igbo'. And they said 'ok'.

The whites used 'Igbo' to classify together all language-related clans in 'Igboland' who happened to be speaking variations of basically the same language for harmony and ease of identity. Apparently, 92% of these clans accepted their new identity. However, their former historical identity was never wiped away and was still preserved as village name or LGA name as we see today. The clan of Abia state called 'Igbere' (corrupted anglicised version of Igbo ere or Igbo ereghi) had their name borne during the slave trade when neighbouring clans tried to invade their clan to capture their children and people and sell them away as slaves. The Igbere natives fought back furiously and chased away the invaders and were very proud of their feat that they termed themselves, 'Igbo ereghi' meaning 'Igbo couldn't sell us'. Apparently, they didn't see themselves as 'Igbo' but instead the clans around them were 'Igbo' not them. Similar trend is still found in our times now, the Aboh for example.

As observed in current times, a few clans will rather stick to their native name and reject the general name classification of which they were classified under based on linguistic similarities.

The scots that you gave an example of still have their own native language called 'scottish'. But due to the terrifying language spread from their nearby english-speaking neighbours, English has crept into every nook and cranny of the land of the scots and almost uprooted their language, thus leaving most of them speaking English and less scottish. However, the people who speak English, in addition to their own native language, either monolingually or bilingually still identify as scots. The same is happening in the country of Australia today whereby the people's native language is Maori but due to the invasion and colonization of the English-speaking people in Australia coupled with the banning of Maori-speaking and the imposition of English as the sole official language in Australia, Maori language is fast becoming extinct as only less than 15% of the millions of Maorians in Australia can actually speak Maori. The 15% which when translated to numbers yields about 4,000 people only. However, the people don't identify as English but Maori.

But the case of the Igbo people is different as virtually all Igbo clans existed as well-delineated republican groups presided over a council of elders. And the Igbo people were never known to be colonialists who were won't to invade other people's lands and impose their language on them like the English. Never was that recorded in history of the Igbo people. That is why anybody who speaks an Igbo dialect today is automatically considered an Igbo person, because he is not speaking an imposed language on him but rather a language passed down to him by his ancestors which is part of his ancestral heritage acquired by the ancestors by their own self will.

If any of these Igbo clans want to claim the case of the Scottish or Maori, then let them step up and tell us what their original language was before igbo colonization wiped it away. Let them also show us at least one surviving speaker of such proto language as valid proof of their so-called Igbo colonization. I bet 1000% no one can't come up with such evidence. As strong as English is in Australia and Scotland, coupled with the voluntary imposition of English on the people, yet their original language still managed to survive and are being spoken by a few percentage of the whole populace asa turu evidence that they ARE NOT ENGLISH people, as they still have their original language. Then why can't the same be said for Aboh, Ikwerre, Ika etc?

I understand full well that its not a must an Igbo clan accepts the general 'Igbo' classification they have been given, and that each clan has a right to stick to its usual ancestral first clan name. But then it should be noted that the classification was done MAINLY on linguistic grounds as language is the strongest linking element between different set of peoples that is used to establish relations. Once two groups of peoples speak entirely different languages, then they cannot be related.

(4)UTAGBA
The Utagba people are divided into two distinct towns and they are the largest Ndokwa community in terms of population. The original settlement is called Utagba Uno and its a federation of seven villages. The villages of Ikilibi and Etua migrated from Owere Olubor near Umunede ( meaning by implication they are of Ejeme-Isu stock ), while the other villages of Umusadege, Umuseti, Isumpe , Umusedeli , and Umusam also came from neighbouring Anioma communities like Nsukwa and Onicha Ukwuani. From Utagba Unor , one Ogbe led a group of Utagba people to a new site over 20 miles away and founded Utagba Ogbe thus the villages of Utagba Ogbe are similarly named after their kinsfolk at Utagba Uno thus there are Umusam, Umusadege, Umusadeli, Umuseti and Isumpe villages. The sixth village in Utagba Ogbe came from Adiai an Anioma town near Aboh. From Utagba Uno the village of Etua( which is by far the biggest sub clan ) arose the new and large settlement of Ndemili which is a few miles away from the Benin town of Urhonigbe. Etua people are also distinct from other Utagba people they are governed by Obis instead of the Okpala Uku which is common in most of Ndokwa land.

(5)NDONI
The name Ndoni comes from " Nde Onuiyi " or people settled at the mouth of the river The Ndoni clan the core area comprises of Ndoni main town and the village of Oniku( which is regarded as senior to Ndoni ). The ancestors of the Ndoni came from Utafa( Otapha ) in the Abua area of Rivers State. This claim is significant because the Abua are not really Ijaws. They are of Ibibio-Efik origin and moved westwards founding in the process the Obolo( or Andoni ) group. The Abua group also included the Odual and Ogbia. President Goodluck Jonathan is from Ogbia. They are not really Ijaws since their language is closer to what is spoken in Akwa Ibom/Cross River States. Later people from Aboh , Ase and Onyah origins in particular settled in the Ndoni area thus Ndoni is a blend of people of Anioma and Abua origins. Ethnographically, Ndoni people are of Ukwuani stock having been thoroughly assimilated over 400 years ago when they first arrived. Ndoni clan as defined today comprises of some 65 settlements and its one of the largest communities in Ndokwaland.

(6) ABBI and UMUKWATA
These are amongst the largest communities in Ndokwa land. The people of Abbi and Umukwata mainly descend from two brothers named Amacha( Abbi) and Ukwata( Umukwata). They originally came from Achalla near Awka in Anambra State and settled for a while in Aboh. Later they moved to their present sites. Later, in Abbi( there are originally two sections) a third section was founded by some hunters from Ani Ekei qtrs of Ubulu Uku( which is of Nri origin). From Abbi arose the ettlements of Umutu and Umuolu both are within Ndokwaland.

(7)ONICHA UKWUANI AND EMU CLANS
These two clans are closely related and they are both of Anioma( Enuani ) origin. The founder was one Onicha who came from Nsukwa. He founded what is now known as Onicha Ukwuani. One of his sons called " Olo " with hi wife called " Emu " moved further south and founded Emu clan. This is why they are often called Umuonicha clan. Alternative versions of their origin suggests that they came from Ogwashi Uku via Nsukwa.

(AMAI
The people of Amai descend from Amai an Elephant hunter from Igala land who settled in Aboh before moving to their present site. This is why Amai is attached to Aboh. Later some migrants from Ubulu Uku founded one of the qtrs called Umubu.

(9)UMUOKU and ONYAH clans
These two groups are related. They form part of the same migration from Amaegu( or Emegu or Egbu ) near Owerri. They arrived in about 1500. The group led by Oku founded Utuoku or Oku's bank along the Niger. From Utuoku , families began to migrate and they crossed the Niger founding the new settlement of Adiai near Ndoni. A war ensued between Adiai and Aboh people and for this reason a group moved to the town of Onitsha while another moved to found Ogbeani qtrs of Utagba Ogbe. Another group led by one Aka managed to cross the Niger to found the village of Adiai Obiaka. Adiai Obiaka is also called Adiawali because they settled west of the Niger away from their traditional homelands near Ndoni. The other Adiai villages include Utu, Utuechi and Obiofu and all are in Rivers state. Adiai land is richly endowed with oil both in Delta and Rivers State. The Umuoku , the three settlements Utuoku, Adiai and Adiawali are governed by Igwes.

Aboh are the empire builders of the Anioma nation. During the reign of Obi Ossai ( c. 1826-44) the influence of Aboh stretched from the Igala kingdom to the North and the Ijaw kingdom of Brass along the Atlantic coast to the South. According to traditions, the Aboh people and the Ezechime people were related. Both group left Benin and split up when they were encamped in Agbor. Whereas the Ezechime people moved to Obior , the Abohs moved southwards towards the Ukwuani country when they encountered the Ewelie people. After the Ewelie were defeated , the Aboh people led by Esume began to colonize the country. Osuntili , one of Esume followers founded the town of Ossissa; Ozoma , another of Esume followers founded the town of Ashaka ; Oputa yet another follower of Esume founded the now Isokonized town of Ozoro while Etim another follower refounded Afor though his descendants primarily occupy Obetim -Afor. Originally a qtr in Ozoro, the people of Ushie moved back into the Ukwuani country. These five communities make up the Ukwu clan.

It should be noted that the population of these towns is not homogenous in origin. A section of Ossissa migrated from Ejeme Unor ( in Aniocha South ) , like I noted before the town of Afor was long in existence before the arrival of the Aboh people. It will also be noted that the names of the followers of Esume looks Igbo to me eg Ozoma, Osuntili , Etim and Oputa which could suggest that they were of Igbo origin but merely adopted Benin as their place of origin simply because their leader , Esume was from Benin.

The Aboh kingdom is divided into two distinct communities. The UMUDEI who descend from Ogwezi, the son of Esume and first Obi of Aboh and the NDICHE who are considered the " non royals ". The Ndiche are of mixed origin. They include the aboriginal " Idumu Iwele " people who were of AKRI origin. Many of the Ndiche were of Igala origin, some came from the Eatern Igbo country just as some arrived from neighbouring Anioma communities. It should also be noted that many of the Ndiche were of ex-slave origin but Aboh assimilates ex-slaves easily. The large settlement of Abalagada north of Aboh main town came originally from Anam ( in Anambra State ) they are therefore of Ndiche stock.

According to history when the Abohs arrived, they were well received by the AKRI aborigines who were settled at the present site of Aboh. Both communities Aboh and Akri were in cordial relationship until Ogwezi became the leader of the Aboh community. The Akri were invited for a feast and unknown to them, the Abohs had concealed machetes in the basket of yams ( called ABOH JI ) and it was from the basket the Abohs broght their weapons and unleashed terror on their Akri neighbours. Many of the Akri managed to escape. Many fled across the Niger where they founded the villages of AKRI OGIDI, AKRI OZIZOR( Present Minister of Aviation Stella Oduah is from here ) and AKRI ATANI( now Atani where Prof Ben Nwabueze and Chief Osita Osadebe comes from ). Some moved South of Aboh to found the villages of AKRI ( Or Akarai ) Obodo and AKRI( or Akarai ) Etiti. A remnant of the Akri settled and became integrated as part of Aboh kingdom ie the Idumu Iwele. It should be noted that the Aboh kingdom ( not community ) was founded in about 1650.

The Obis of Aboh are descended from Ogwezi while the Iyase the most important chief in the kingdom must come from Ndiche. By tradition , the Iyase traditionally installs the Obi. An Obi is chosen from the Ogwezi or UMUDEI lineage. The Idumu Iwele people provide most of the priests( Eze Ani and Eze Osimili) while also from the Umudei lineage the ODUAH who is the oldest man from the lineage i conidered the spiritual head of the kingdom. The Aboh kingdom comprises of the Aboh main town and over 20 satelite villages in Ndokwa East LGA.

(2)OBIARUKU
Obiaruku i the commercial heart of the Ndokwa area. According to tradition the earliest settlers in the town were the people of OKUZU-Obiaruku. The Okuzu people emigrated from Awkuzu in Anambra State and via Aboh settled in Obiaruku. They were soon joined by their relatives the UMUEDEDE. Later a large group from the Ukwuani town of Umuebu joined them founding what is now called OGBE OBIARUKU. A time went on , an Aboh group joined the settlement and founded UMUESUME qtrs. The last qtr in Obiaruku is called OBIUGBE and they came principally from Ezionum another Ukwuani settlement . Obiaruku is therefore entirely of Igbo origin some originating from the East. The name Obiaruku means a town founded by an Aruku tree ie Obi Aruku.

When the Oyinbo people are doing research to build big planes, massive ships and other great inventions, the blacks won’t copy them by also invest enough time to study, research and make inventions. But once some blacks see a white person doing crazy stuffs, they copy that one immediately.
