CultureRe: Some Igbo/yoruba Word Used In Urhobo/Isoko Language by clefstone(m): 7:26pm On Nov 09, 2015
pazienza:
Urhobos don't speak an Igbo dialect, so that question is out of order.

Ukwuanis speak an Igbo dialect intelligible to any Igbo man conversant with Igbo Izugbe.

Igbos never had empires that lorded over Ukwuanis.


Ukwuanis have no record or trace of a dead language that became replaced by Igbo language.

Any rational being will deduce that Ukwuani was Igbo speaking right from the very beginning.

Ukwuani could only be of Bini origin, if some segment of the ancient Bini empire were peopled by an Igbo speaking people, from where the Ukwuanis, Ikas, Ikwerres, Ogbas, etc migrated from.

That is the only logical explanation of the " out of Bini" story these Igbo speaking people are currently peddling, in the absence of a dead Bini language in those areas.
You should read about the Abohs and how they conquered and took over the land that belonged to the Akarais.
The Akarais are aboriginals of the area known today as Aboh and were most likely always Igbo.
The people that formed the ancient Aboh kingdom are confirmed migrants who settled, conquered and pushed the aboriginal Akarais to the fringes.
What I am telling u now is not folk tales or speculation. It's a known fact that is acknowledged by the Abohs and Akarais who still live in d fringes of the present day Aboh. There is a court case in which the akarais after hundreds of years are asking for compensation from the Abohs.
About how the Abohs speak igbo, even you should know why. They migrated to an area where the language is igbo and the inevitable happened after some hundred years.

The Ukwuanis have every right to self-determination or whatever they choose to call themselves. However, they are still considered Igbos by other Nigerians anytime any day. The denial of the pigeon that it is not a bird but a cat does not mean it is not a bird because when I look at the pigeon all I see is a bird.

Iyu ka ayin nenekwa. Ani ndokwa bama mma! cheesy
northerners and westerners consider Urhobos as Igbos, does that make them igbos?

I believe he simply asked you for clarification, and I expect you to explain better the meaning of that phrase you gave because you seemed to be implying that the Ukwuanis and Ikas were not Igbo-speaking originally but Igbonized 'due to closeness to the Igbos'. The impression you're giving off on this thread is one of learning and knowledge, now further explain what you meant when you wrote that comment in bold.
Goodboiy is right on that one, we ukwuanis don't see ourselves as igbos, we trace our ancestry to bini and we have a strong oral history that documents our migration from bini

Goodboiy:
Only few clan in Isoko speak the Igboid language.. maybe 6%. Isoko is pure Edoid.. they only speak the Igboid language due to communication.. All clan in Urhobo and Isoko Remain Edoid.. nobody can twist The history of my People.. As for the Aragba orogun people they were only Influenced with Anioma language.. but they still remain Urhobo and nobody can change that.
The Orogun people are said to have migrated from present day Aboh, hence the name ebo-orogun. The Abohs speak Ukwuani language which is Igboid. Aboh trace their ancestral origin to Bini. For this reason the orogun have striking cultural similarities to the Abohs, such as language and things they forbid(killing iguanas and consuming snail and cocoyam).
