Whoever dragged you in Edo into an imaginary Igbo country?

BeijinDossier:
Stop saying what you don't know. Awka is related to Onitsha in dialect, never Oji River or any part of Enugu state. In Awka and Onitsha dialect you will find similar words like "ife", "isi, etc, something people of Oji don't speak . My problem with some of you people is that you guys always wanna tell Anambra people their hstory and origin, which you don't know.

IDENNAA:
You keep throwing this insecurity around. Madam , give me a reason why an Anambra man should feel insecure ?

IDENNAA:
The central Anambra dialect spoken in Awka and Onicha. Just like the central Igbo dialect spoken in Asaba, the Enuani.

ariesbull:
Anambra dialect generally... I am from Anambra and there are minute difference ... Once any Anambra speaks you will know...

They have 90% similarity... They are similar ... Dialect just like owerri, Nekede and

Juicegal:
Which dialect in Anambra are you talking about here. To the best of my knowledge there are many igbo dialects and sub dialects in Anambra. Is it Awka, or Ogbaru, or Oru or Onicha etc

ariesbull:
It is not about what part of Anambra... The truth is that in igbo land Anambra is the first person and state in terms of busineess, education, development, commerce and culture

The dialect is the best ... Even other states of Igbo accept this ... So you can argue

IDENNAA:
I dont subscribe to the first born claims but Anambra has rich culture which is very elegant and boisterous on its own. If you understand the nze na ozor institution and the way it elevates the initiate to a noble status , the Anambra man's expectation to join the society and elevate himself then you will understand our thought process. We practice a well painstakingly developed noble culture.

However, the hate towards ndi Anambra started with the marriage thing. In the 70's and , 80's and 90's we were not encouraged to marry from Imo and Ndi Imo hated Anambra for that.

Well I am not Igbo, I am Edo and I was on a thread of my Anioma people and our Oba when some of your hoodlooms came to say rubbish.
Also right here, I responded to some of you who keep dragging us along into your imaginary Igbo country.
Talk about your south-eastern people and let us be

v it helps especially when you do business that takes you deep into villages.You easily blend in. I have mastered most central Anambra , Owerri and Mbaise dialects too. Ngwa and Abia dialects are my next target. Very difficult i must say.

Juicegal:
Thanks brother. I grew up in the north though, Kano precisely but i spend 50% of my time in the East and travel around like kilode.

IDENNAA:
I am not insecured because I am from Umuoji , Idenmili with very rich and elegant culture. Ours neighbors are Obosi , Oba ,Ogidi , Ojoto , Uke and Nkpor and we have an enviable culture like our Anambra brothers. We are just proud and defend our priceless culture with every strength. If wanting the best for Anambra makes me a "bigot" then so be it , after all you ndi Imo despise us and that ok by me because I dont care how you feel.

You created a thread with a misleading title , made nonfactual statements and I tried to correct you but you ignored it.

You lots have continued to attack ndi Anambra on facebook just because of their love for their culture/language. The moment a person says they love Anambra dialects you attack them and tell them to shut up. Show some pride and leave us the hell alone. Did you see an Anambra man says he isnt Igbo ? Yet , you lot keep attacking just for saying we love our home land and culture. Its sickening !

IDENNAA:
You are wrong, they have related dialect but I can tell when and Ihiala or Uli person speaks. There is a clear difference is dialects in that area. But , the similarity is expected because that area is where Anambra and Imo dialects meet.

Juicegal:
Big difference
Example: in saying " That is not it"

The Umuaka and other isu dialect speakers will say -" Owuduyii, Owuduya," etc"

Amifieke, Okporo ,Ihioma down to Ihiala Uli(Oru dialects) will say " Ooowuoya"

2. Where are you coming from:
Umuaka/ Isu - " Ele ebe ishi abiaga", "Ebe kishi"

Oru dialects will say - "belee ki si", some will say "bolee ki si"

3. Not me
Umuaka/ Isu: "Owudumu", some will say "Ondumu" and some will say" Ogbudumu"

Oru: "Oowomu"


E plenty.

There is no such thing as Ndi Aguata.

Never heard of it before.

Orumba South dialects spoken in Umunze, Owelle-ezukala, Ihie, Nkerehi(Now Umuchukwu), Ogbunka, etc. Is exactly same as that spoken in Isuochi and Eziama(Nneato) which is in Umunneochi LGA of Abia state. And both areas are contiguous geographically and are culturally same people.

Their language is quite different from what is spoken in places like Ekwulobia, Oko and their likes in Aguata.

Yes they were in old Aguata LGA of old Anambra together with Aguata and Orumba North folks, but they are culturally and language wise more related to groups in Umunneochi LGA of Abia state than to those in Aguata LGA.

Bialegend:
Their dialects are quite noticeably different. Let's keep this education neat. We are educating ourselves and not outsiders. Let's not bring nigerian mentality of dishonesty here. In the end, Uli dialect has "Fa" unlike Umuaka that has "Ha"

Bialegend:
Now, this is another HONEST submission, unlike the guy called Emlproperties that is writing here with his nigerian mentality of lies and dishonesty. Biafra will cure him very soon. We all are learning here about ourselves (dialects) and the education should be kept clean and sincere. As you said, we all are still Ndi Igbo in the end..

Bialegend:
Ol'boy, there is nothing like Orlu town. No single place is known as or called Orlu town. What you have or get is different towns in different areas of the place called Orlu. The zone called Orlu doesn't have one single place that is referred to as it's town/city, similar to Aba, Owerri, or Onitsha. If yes, then tell us where this town/city is.
Stop misinforming people here, and moreover, stop posting these dilapidated roads and buildings that are more of glorified shanty/dusty places. When Biafra is restored, we shall build what is called towns and cities. For now, it will be difficult to build anything that resembles a city under "one nigeria" nonsense.

Bialegend:
It is not. You are neither from both axis then. Perhaps, you are not even Igbo.

pazienza:
Umunze are in Orumba South and not Aguata.

Bialegend:
[s]Stop posting this eyesore you call city. You should be ashamed of these photos. When Biafra is restored, all these useless structures will be torn down and structures that mankind will marvel at constructed[/s].

Bialegend:
This dialect is spoken in the axis of Nkwerre, Isu, Njaba, Amiri, Umuaka, e.t.c and is quite different from what is spoken in Ihiala, Ihioma, Awo idemiri e.t.c, yet all are lumped together as Orlu.

Amah70:
Nigeria’s brutal Civil War ended when the war was about to enter into Orlu senatorial zone.


It’s apt to classify Orlu zone as the soul of Igbo nation because it was in Orlu zone where all surviving Igbos clustered last days of the civil war

pazienza:
Ikengawo, you are pure disgrace to Igboland.

With misguided parochial folks like you,Ndiigbo don't need external enemies, you and your ilks are big enough to destroy us.

I can't believe I use to think you are a brilliant man.
