I'm calling you but you're pretending you're not the one I'm talking to.
You'll never see this in Igbo language and can never comprehend.
But I'll leave you to your ignorance
If an onitsha man should write his native dialect, here ,someone from Owerri might not fully comprehend If an Ngwa man should write his:her own dialect an Okigwe man might not fully comprehend If an nsukka man should write his own dialect someone from another part of Enugu might not understand or read If an Abakiliki man wrote his own dialect ,the rest of Igbos might not understand fully If someone from asaba writes ,people from anambra might understand but someone from imo might find it hard to understand As an Igboman from egbema ,I understand a little of the ikwerre dialect but I don’t understand when an abakiliki man speaks or writes which is why we have Igbo izugbe
Igbo isugbe ,(central Igbo which can be understood easily by every Igboman even you the ikwerre understand central Igbo A lot of you all have been brainwashed and conquered mentally to the point that you can’t think logically
There are igbos in Delta north and they also practice similar culture with their kits and kin in the East In igbo culture you have to pay the bride price of a woman before she becomes your wife If you don’t pay in her lifetime and she eventually dies while the couple cohabited and have children The man is mandated to pay her bride price in death before she’s buried I am also from delta(north)

bidexiii: To the glory of GOD, the Yorubas are the most travelled out of the country, Have seeing this in the UK, US and Asia. But when it comes to travelling to part of Nigeria the most, give it to the Igbos.

Daniel058: How can people say that Ikwerre people of River state and Anioma people of Delta state whose dialects re More Igbo than Ebonyians , aren't ndigbo . If I speak my dialect izi , Most Anambra people won't understand Most of what I say yet we belong to Igbo tribe
You are wrong if u say all ,because I’m from rivers too and I’m still an Igbo man anyday ,some people in both Anioma and rivers are still proud to be called igbos It’s high people understand that Igbo is not a tribe ,we are a Nation bind together by our common linguistic and socoi cultural ,mentality and communal values All igbo tribes have their own dialect which hardly be understood by other tribes This is why a central language was created which can be understood by all igbo sects Be informed
slawomir: Damnnn niggar Peter obi my niggar Obi is our president anyday anytime twice on Sunday
1)All educated youth in Nigeria are aware... Name two states or region with educated, Liberal, intelligent, enlightened and exposed people Definitely it will be lagos and Abuja right! And obi won those states 2) the three major contestants were from the three major region...atiku(hausa), tinubu( yoruba), obi(igbo) So the South South were in a better position to choose because no one among the contestants were their brother....and guess what the South South chose obi 3) osun state is the home of tinubu and yet tinubu lose am because osun state is some how seen as the most educated place in South west...which means tinubu is not even supposed to be among the contestants..not to talk of becoming the president So if you are a Nigerian youth and you can't figure out this simple truth then your education is a total waste and you need to collect your school fees from any tertiary institution you finished from...hold your head in shame
What you said are all valid , but where I find fault is where you said SS are not Obis brother as an Igbo man from Egbema Rivers state I object to this , there are igbos too in Delta state
😂😂😂😂 I’m from egbema imo state axis We and our kind in rivers are 100% igbos

Egbema is one of the ethnic groups in southern Nigeria. Egbema people, according to some commentators migrated from Bini in early 16th Century and settled in their present location which they call 'Alinso' meaning 'holy or sacred land'. In 1931 they changed the name to Egbema but the name 'Alinso' had remained in the background. However, some people have rejected this assertion saying it is baseless as there is no evidence to support the claim that Egbema people originated from Bini. According to them, Egbema people migrated from Igbo heartland especially, the Isuama area.
Egbema is blessed with both human and natural resources. Egbema has a fertile land and rich wild life. Majority of Egbema people are farmers, hunters and fishermen. Among the numerous natural resources in Egbema is crude oil and natural gas. Many Egbema sons and daughters occupy sensitive positions in both the public and private sectors respectively. One of its sons, Mr. Mike Okiro rose in the Nigeria Police Force to become an Inspector General in the foremost security organization.
Egbema was a single or unified ethnic nationality with 16 communities. The 16 communities include; Abacheke, Mmahu, Obiakpu, Etekwuru, Mgbede, Aggah, Okwuzi, Obokofia, Abaezhi, Umudike, Umuoji, Mgbara, Opuoma, Obeakpu, Ekugba and Oforoada. Unfortunately, Egbema today is divided: it is split between Rivers and Imo states.
The division of Egbema came as a result of a desperate political manuevering. The first attempt to split or divide the group by the powerful ruling elite of Nigeria began in the colonial era precisely in 1959. The plan was to move certain parts of the group from Ahoada Division which was its original Division to Oguta County Council. This plan however, did not see the light of day.
Prior to the division of Egbema in 1976, a prominent son of Egbema land from Abacheke in present Ohaji-Egbema Local Government Area of Imo state, Sunny N. A. Uzor was installed as the paramount ruler - Nzeobi of the entire Egbema ethnic nationality then in Rivers state. As a highly respected and influential ruler, the Nzeobi made enormous contributions toward the growth and development of Egbema ethnic nationality and Rivers state at large.
In the 70's, following issues bothering on political disagreements, the Nzeobi and 13 communities of Egbema were, under the Murtala Muhammed's regime moved into the newly created state (Imo state) on the 3rd February, 1976. Only 3 communities remained in Rivers state - the 3 communities are; Mgbede, Aggah and Okwuzhi. These communities today make up Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area in Rivers state while the other 13 form Ohaji-Egbema Local Government Area in Imo state. During the reign of Nzeobi of Egbema, the monarch was able to rule over the two blocs but after his demise on 8th August 2009, the stool has remained unoccupied because of the difficulty associated with superintending over people in different states. However, it is on record that the respected Nzeobi never supported the splitting of his Kingdom. In this regard, he, during the Justice Irikefe panel on creation of new states and boundary adjustment in 1975 reasoned that 'it was suicidal as well as criminal to split the inseparable and indivisible Egbema just to satisfy the whims and caprices of politicians'.
Regardless of the problem of division, Egbemas are great people with rich cultural heritage. The Egbema people are predisposed to unimpeachable rectitude and integrity. This is why they refer to themselves as 'Nde-nso' meaning 'holy people' and their land 'Alinso' meaning 'holy or sacred land'. Egbema has a number of festivals that are celebrated at different periods of the year. Some of the festivals include; Igwa-Ji, Iwu-Azhi, Ichi-Ozo, Igba-Mgba, Isu-Uzo, Ike-Ihuru, Idu-Miri, Owu/Idu-Miri Okrosha, Iri-Ji etc. The Egbema people have high regard for tradition.
Egbema is host to numerous institutions both public and private. It must however be noted that Egbema has some of the biggest names in the oil and gas sector operating on its soil - these organizations are; Shell Petroleum Development Company (Nig) Ltd (SPDC), Chevron Nig. Ltd., Nigeria Agip Oil Company Ltd. (NAOC).
One of the biggest challenges confronting the Egbema nation today is the division - they're an insignificant minority in both Rivers and Imo states; their voices are hardly heard despite their enormous contribution towards the wealth of the State. It is against this background that Mike Okiro as the national leader of Ogbakor Egbema Alinso, the apex socio-cultural body of the Egbema people two years ago, called on the Federal Government to create a local government for all the Egbema communities in Rivers and Imo states. Okiro further added that 'it doesn't matter whether the local government will be in Rivers or Imo'. All they crave for is to be united again!
