But weren't the philistines there before Moses and Joshua massacred them and took over their land?

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
I hear Afikpo and understand their spoken dialect

Do you know Ngwa dialect have different alphabet from your usual Igbo alphabet.

Can you write Ngwa dialect with Igbo alphabets without missing in translation?

Your problem with hearing Ebonyi people then is that you haven't lived or spent quality time with them.

NgeneUkwenu:
Tokwu uhuu!!! Afikpo dialect is very easy to assimilate and is far better than Nsukka, Ezza or Izzi. I spent some years here in my formative period.
I can still vividly remember some historic and cultural rivers such as iyiechi Ukpa, otalenkwo, oziza beach etc. Afikpo people are very friendly but stingy

The only people I have problem understanding their dialect is Effium people of Ebonyi State.

abagoro:
As an Igbo man with deep knowledge of almost entire Igbo dialects I believe the form of Igbo spoken in Afikpo and Ika are the purest even though they both occupy the extreme fringes of Igbo speakers.

chuna1985:
their Igbo language is different, but they are igbos.

But for ur info, ur language does not really make u Igbo, the main thing that makes u Igbo is tradition, culture, etc. Igbo marriage, burial rites , child dedication, cultural circumscision etc is what connects all igbos together.

ifyalways:
They are Igbos.

Thread closed.

EastLebanon:
If u can't understand them it means u are not igbo,when u do understand afikpo dialect how can u understand the izza and ezza dialect?

Guys, we may not be speaking about the same Afikpo. There seems to be two of them.

Are there two Afikpos?

If you still need a straight answer, then u really must be slow.

I want you to answer it straight if you are not a hypocrite

shachris:
is an igboman not the oga kpata kpata in NNPC?

See how you take dey dodge simple question

shachris:
I am saying that, on that position, no one knows more about that post as the guy that was just reconfirmed. He has been the General manager of that section since 2014.

a silly argument by tribal bigots

my question is: are Igbos competent or not?

See how yahoo dey fear buhari
no mention of Biafra even though it was recognised by many countries

shachris:
Shows that there's no tribal considerations for these corporate appointments. It's merely based on competence.

Are you saying Igbo people are not competent?

ndukwejoe:
you are sarcastic right?

no

shachris:
Actually it is jonathan that appointed him to that position. Buhari just reconfirmed the guys appointment.

Shows jonathan was not a tribal bigot

Biafrans at work in Gabon

Mele is not Igbo
Buhary is a tribal bigot

james bond is british

MrCounselor:
Reasons why you ain't gonna develop at all, you feared too much and don't like yourselves talkless of outsiders.
Check it out, how do indigeneous Igbo family relate? The disposition is "Me and my family", no one else. That would hv bn a very funny country. Lots of love though.

How my family relations take concern you? Amebo

ChinenyeN:
You said I could ask, so why are you making this difficult? Anyway, I'm trying to establish some basis to help explain why you believe you understand Ngwa completely. It's either that your people's settlement has to be relatively close by, or that you've spent some time in the area or with some Ngwa to help you get acquainted to Ngwa speech.

If it's none if those, then I'd like to know what it is that lets you believe you understand Ngwa completely. Otherwise, it just seems as though you're either lying or you're probably not aware of what Ngwa is and might be confusing it with Aba township Igbo, which isn't even close.

I'm from nnewi, I grew up amongst many nationalities including ngwa and afikpo
I understood ngwa people very well and other Igbos, even those from delta state, nsukka etc, abakaliki was a bit hard but I did pick a few words from my okada driver friends, lol
however afipko, no matter how I try was impossible to get
maybe it's me
