Ngozi123:


Then why is Enuani regarded as the dominant dialect in the region? Why is it the only one that is described as "comprehensible to all"?

This is one of the first websites you'll see if you type "Anioma" into the Google search bar. Click on the 'Ethnic Identity' sub-heading.

http://www.umuanioma.com/anioma

I guess u are finally understanding that the source is the East and not the west.

Hence the settlement to the East speak the most comprehensible/ dominant dialect as oppose to those in the west.

Ur people and the Anioma are one people, that crossed west and headed west to take advantage of an uninhabited land.

Instead of bothering with further west of anioma dialect, head east to find the origin of Enuani.

This is not a tribe in Ghana called Ewe but the name Eweka.

Neither did i ask u for the yoruba meaning to the word Ewe?

If i was after that then i would have gone with google that defines it as a female sheep.

The question is refered to the Bini not an Okun man from Kogi.

@BornStunner1

if i start now, u will start banning but u can see that u are the aggressor and the one who initiates everything and then start crying and banning people.

Typical yoruba coward!

BornStunner1:

JUST IMAGINE THE RUBBISH YOU KEEP SPEWING FROM YOUR MOUTH!!

I BET YOUR MOUTH STINKS FROM ALL THE LIES!!

I WILL FINISH YOU ON THIS THREAD!!

I DON MEAN YOU!!!

Guy, i am not interested in your yoruba childishness today, it is not everyday. Quote someone else, i am talking with Laudate.

Does anybody now know wat Eweka means in Benin? I am still waiting Oooo!

Emeka abi na Iweka was the name of the first Oba of Benin. He was Igbo.

laudate:
Where is the evidence that shows that "Bini are a mixed ethnic group between Igbos..?" Kindly post it here. Does it actually exist, or are you just going to find it? I can't buy into that theory... sorry! Anyway, good luck with your research. Until the evidence comes through, the jury is out on this one.

First u need to look at their language. They share too many words with igbos that mean literally, the samething spelt the same way.

i.e. Ugbo in Bini means Farm, the same word and spelling means the samething in igbo both in the west and the East.

osakwe''.in igbo literally means 'God Agree' and it means exactly the samething in Benin

Ogbe means quarters in Igbo, agains same word means exactly the samething in Benin.

etc.

There are certain sentence they make that incorporate both the yoruba and igbo words mixed together. The words refer to similar things but the bini use it to make a sentence.

i.e. their greeting of the Oba. i.e. Oba Atokpe Ise!! Ato in igbo means to be stuck. Kpe in yoruba means to be long. They use both words to wish their king a long reign.

The kingship and its origin and the similarities to its neighbours in the east is another aspect.

Their dressing and even their genetics will help to establish further facts.

Ngozi123:
I read online that there are quite a few dialects spoken in Anioma, both Igbo and non-Igbo, but the Enuani one is the dominant dialect and is somewhat understood by all due to their influence on the people there. Do you know if this is true or not?

They are closest to the East(Enuani) and the language will dominate the western igbos on the banks of the River Niger, and spread west but further west, it starts to fade as other dialects dominate.

laudate:
The Ikwerre bit is likely to be true, but to say "Bini people were originally igbo that interacted heavily with yorubas. In fact they probably lived door to door with each other," is fallacious. There just isn't enough empirical and archaeological evidence to show that 'Bini people were originally igbo'.

Guy! Some people believe that God dont exist despite all the evidence in their day to day life.

I believe their is a God.

Wat u choose to believe is upto u, but the evidence are there.

I will like to spend sometime in the Bini area and carry out studies on their language, religion, political systems and culture.

As well as in Ondo and Anioma. From the little that i can find online, all indication is that Bini are a mixed ethnic group between Igbos and Yorubas.

Ngozi123:
Thank you for raising this point. We all know that the term was created for political reasons.

The term Anioma is recent and it is true that each of the clan that constitute Anioma existed as a separate entity.

This is typical with igbo settlement even in the east. They are often highly segmental as opposed to Hierarchical.

Conseqeuntly, u find that a whole clan can be wiped out in a war or completely enmeshed in inter-tribal marriage and start losing their igbo identity.

Further, all the dialect are also distinct from one another.

laudate:
Oh, I believe Urhobo, Esan etc., migrated from Benin or are descendants of the Bini people. But to say "Bini are direct descendants of western igbos mixed with yorubas from Ondo," ... nah, I can't buy that. I believe you are still joking on that score!

Benin just fell from the sky and landed inbetween two major tribes abi? u believe that one.


Listen, ever wondered y Ikwere have Igbo names but speak a distinct language mixed with igbo?

The fact they have igbo names is evident that they are Igbo people, but due to distance and inter-tribal marriages with Akwa Ibom clans, their language became corrupted.


Bini people were originally igbo that interacted heavily with yorubas. In fact they probably lived door to door with each other.


Unlike today, u guys speak English, they had to craft a language they can both understand. Inter-tribal marriage on a huge scale creates another distinct tribe. Do u agree with the bolded?

martha89:
You are making sense. After Esan left the Benin kingdom there is possibility some of them inter married with ikas(Agbors) or the ones that where close to them.lol this is how to talk without insulting anyone.

If Africans learn to reason, half the world problem will be solved.

The bolded is highly probable. I believe they did.

laudate:
You said: "Bini are direct descendants of western igbos mixed with yorubas from Ondo." You are kidding, right? This must be the greatest joke of the century.

I am not kidding.

My investigation and findings show that the aborigines of the area called Bini were Igbos. They interacted with yorubas and from that interaction the Bini dialect was formed.

Consequently, another migration down south began that established the Urhobo. The Urhobo are descendants of Bini that migrated South.

U will notice that the migration route of western Igbo was always west but soon faded as they approached Ondo. That area was inhabited by Yorubas.

Further the Esan migrated North from Bini. Wat am saying is that both Esan and Urhobo are Bini people but due to distance the way the language is spoken changed.


If ur finding this hard to believe, ask urself wat is the Isoko? The Isoko are basically a mixed group between the urhobo and Ijaw. Today they claim a distinct ethnic group status.


Wen u mix two linguistic group, another language is formed becos they need to find a new way to communicate and understand each other. They might even mix both their languages or establish new words for things.

Today yoruba and igbo marry and end up speaking English, now imagine if their was no English, wat do u think will happen?

martha89:
Yes in some ways,una get Igbabanelimi or Okpodu Masquared?

I notice that u share alot of words together as well.

Listen nobody fell from heaven, all human race have one source that can be traced to the Garden of Eden.

We are all connected and brothers/ sisters.

Africa is richly diverse but highly connected, the problem we have is that we lack research institution to carry out proper investigation and studies.

Y u going to live so close to the Esan if u are Ika and argue that their is no connection, wen Ngozi123 all the way across the River Niger is arguing connection to Benin.

laudate:
ROTFLMAO!! Bini descended from what??! Biko, don't let anyone hear you repeating this abomination!! I am begging you, please...for your own good. Otherwise, that wedding you are dreaming of conducting with that fine Onitsha chic Ngozi123 will never happen.

For ur information she is from Ogbaru.

The similarity of cultures between Bini and Nri is one that cannot be ignored.

U would think both these pictures were taken from one occasion.


Bini are direct descendants of western igbos mixed with yorubas from Ondo.

Flavour dike ukwu have scored again Ooooo!

laudate:
Re-ea-ally?? Please tell us more!! So who are these people ascribing Igbo origins to the Esan people?

Wat is the difference between Bini, Esan and Ika?

Esan is a distinct group from Bini though descended from Bini, like the urhobo.

The Bini descended from the Ika and Igbanke Igbo. Bini roots can be traced to Anioma and the to Nri.

martha89:
We too don't give a damn about those who don't give damn about us.

Ishan and Ika Igbo are too similar though?

Noted! The guy is adicted to Igbo affairs.

YourNemesis:
lol...... A bad cloth is a badd cloth.
70% of Igbo males will chose an Agbada over an Isiagu or Akwa Oche anytime anyday.

Class can not be faked.

The rest of your statement is rubbish as usual.

Igbo men like to show off their muscular built body and broad shoulders. They are abit like Johnny Bravo.

gregyboy:
that history is to show there was never an oyo empire it was been formulated recently to empire recently

Yorubas can lie ehn... Wat they had were Oyo slave raiders.

YourNemesis:
lol, there is always an air of primitivity sorrounding the existence of this cloth...
Does anyone even notice that it does not have a matching trouser..
Eeehya.

Do u know y fat belly yoruba men and skinny fulani love Agbada so much? Dey are feeble looking men.

U need a good physique to pull off the Isiagu, becos u cannot cover the pot belly with that bed sheets.

See wat Buhari looked like wen he tried to pull off Igbo attire.

laudate:
ROFLMAO!! I guess the Isiagu & its' accompanying wrapper went through a metamorphosis, and got transformed into an agbada!!

hammerf and Ngozi123 traditional.

Jealousy! Jealousy! I dont care! I dont care!

gregyboy:
yes go on net and search who is the oldest and have read about the kiriji war of the yorubas

19th century war between Ekiti and Ibadan?(1877-1893) Are u joking?

Yorubas have been writing everybody history as soon as they learnt to read and write from the british.

Now he has been provided with speakers of Ebira video and it sounds more Igbo than yoruba, he has changed the claim to nupiod language.

it is the way he did it. sly!

I accidentally went back to his posting and found that addition.

YourNemesis:
I said Ebiras are Yorubas...?
Obviously you are more deluded than I thought.
And I even mentioned that statement, before I said they share a lot of culture with Yorubas. That are rooted in Oduduwa but branched in Arewa.

You see, Yorubas don't make open brazzen claims like Igbos.
You for example said Edos and Ebiras are your "daughter" tribes. lol
Whatever that means.

So wat was that i quoted u saying?

YourNemesis:

Ebira is a nupoid language.

YourNemesis:
That does not man anything.
There are similarities between Yoruba and japanese. and between Benin and Malay.
Ebira is a nupoid language.

Guy i thought u said they are yorubas? Seems like u have gone back to change it to nupoid. hahahaha!

YourNemesis:
lol... You lie....
Isiagu and wrapper is your dresss.
That yeye cloth.

At least we are creative enough to find something distinctive. Yoruba no get dress.


Na naked una dey before 1960s.

Ngozi123:
No thank you. Btw, one of the people that keeps replying you is an avid Igbo hater. I advise all Igbo posters to ignore him, maybe he'll leave us alone.

noted! I already know who u are referring to, he is an obvious one.
