Onegai: Helps are a tricky thing. We have spoken about the kids spending time with both grandparents but let us see. They after all, didn't teach their kids their language.
I'd love to see children's books in English, Ika, Itsekiri and Urhobo or Okpe. Dual. They have them for English and Spanish ans English and Yoruba and Igbo. where Do you reside in Delta ?.. I might recommend some books for you .. What school re your ward attending ?.. Most schools in warri teach Urhobo as one of there subject.. The earlier the better.. |

Enuguboy4nsk: speak for your tribe alone ma'am....we igbos are also part of south south.. Don't know if re truly igbo.. but incase u re igbo.. u re doing more harm than Good to ur Tribe.. this isn't an Igbo vs Urhobo war.. u made it look like one.. The op was only referring to Non-Igboid Ss group e.g Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ijaw.. non of those tribe ever Got any beef with what the op said.. instead we were discussing on how to strengthen our Language.. U guys came in with the claim that Urhobo re from igbo which Any Urhobo son finds offensive and insulting.. U cant tell us who we are. Ps: am nt lady. and don't make it look as if Urhobo gat beef with igbo.. That's nt true.. We re peaceful and accommodating.. We don't hate u nor any tribe in Nigeria. #Peace# |

Sanchez01: It seems they're frying biscuits on your head. I'm the last person you'd want to engage on tribal issues, trust me. If you are looking for your kinsmen in Delta state while in Enugu, I'd suggest you journey yourself down there to meet with them. The thread says Urhobo, yet you and your ilks would self-service and die just because you're all out looking for your lost relatives over your senseless struggle. Just look at the way they derailed this thread.. all in the name of annexing minority... I don't just get it... |

Enuguboy4nsk: asaba is igbo and i am igbo so he is indirectly directing it to me....leave igbo areas out of your comatous urhobo language which is too local and sound like animal language that the owners themselves are very much ashamed to speak it Never wanted to quote you.. but i feel insulted with that bolded ... Am not a kid to exchange words with u, But put this at the back of ur mind.. "No SS Minorities Take u serious", We re better alone.. #Peace# |

Igboid: I'm an Igbo, and I have nothing to do with Isoko too.  Lol, are you feeling important or what? Newsflash! You are not.
However, there are some Igbo speaking people with ancestral relationship with some Isoko towns. Yours might not be one of those parts of Isoko.
Igbide for example is strongly linked with Mgbidi/ Awka.  CeoMYN: I call South South Niger Delta. Abeg Igbos we are not you people, be contented with your land. Enuguboy4nsk: is Niger Delta a tribe-----NO is Niger Delta a state-----No is Niger Delta a geopolitical zone---No
be proud of your tribe or if u have lost touch with your tribe just like op u can mention your state...
last time i checked Ondo a yoruba state is in Niger delta Imo and Abia; both igbo states are in Niger Delta too
it sucks for one to lose his/her identity Igboid: Niger Delta is not a name of an ethnic group. It's not even an African language. So obviously it can't be Igbo or any other African ethnic group for that matter.
Geez, where are these people crawling out from? Please mod do something about this.. they re derailing this thread.. I don't just get you.. What has Urhobo language gat to do with this? Please and please |

bigfrancis21: You see learning a language is not difficult, it is all about making efforts to speak it. I was not raised with Igbo as a child though my mom switched from English to Igbo when she saw we had picked up English, I didn't really make efforts to start speaking until my university days. Now I speak it fluently like I was raised with it. This was possible because I went out of my way to speak it. I not only speak it but read and write it fluently. Had a B2 in Igbo in my GCE exam in SS2 even though I wasn't speaking then but my reading and writing were excellent. You can only wish to speak a language but if you do not make attempts at speaking it you will not learn to speak it.
The beginning may be somewhat hard, but just continue. 2 to 3 years from now your speaking skills will improve. Remember, kids who speak Urhobo or English did not just learn it in 1 year. They spoke it continuously for several years from age 2 to age 5/6 (at least 3 years) with corrections by parents here and there until they mastered it. It is the same way for adult learners too.
Just make the effort to start speaking. Also watch Urhobo movies too. It helps. Remember the key is to speak, speak and keep speaking. Watch Urhobo movie ?.. lolx.. hardly come across that.. I envy those from east / west u guys are trying.. Most of my itsekiri frnds re still experiencing same issue with us.. But i find d itsekiri more easy than mine. will try what you suggested .. thanks bro |

LKO: We are on same page my brother. I questioned that position also. Go to Ekpan, u would get more than a thousand speakers of the Uvwie dialect. Go to Mereje, u would get more than a thousand speakers of the Okpe dialect. All in all, we should strive to speak our language, it's our identity. Ekpan case is quite different, We av more strangers than indigene in Ekpan. The only part that speaks Uvwie re those from afieki/ Udumowori axis. but we have more than 5thousand uvwie speaker.. My fear is what will happen to our language in the near future |

Onegai: He is worse. Barely speaks and doesn't care. I'm not Urhobo but I'm from Delta and my language is dying too. So I'm learning small Urhobo and my language to teach our kids. But I've already told him we are getting them lesson teachers in both languages from age 3 to 5. Getting a lesson teacher is okay.. why not take a native house help.. one that can speak Urhobo fluently.. Re u itsekiri ?.. am really sad about this... but my case is not that worse atleast i hear Urhobo (Uvwie, Agbon). |

LKO: Quite an educative piece. But I'm taken aback with the claim that Uvwie and Okpe have less than a thousand speaker, is this not an exaggeration stretched too far? Less than a thousand speaker ? Thats a big lie.. although Uvwie Is far loosing Its language but that ur claim its not true.. The reason is that we Accept Strangers alot and as a result we don't speak our language with strangers like the yoruba's do. Our parents re d problem.. if i speak my Urhobo en .. u go laugh |

Freedom of expression does not include insulting other people's religion. let the mentions start rolling in, nonsense. Hey if you have nothing to say please don't contribute anything...
