Just to complement Agbontae's effort let me add some words. Ika bini/ishan english Ewuru - ewu - clothes eyiya - oyiya - comb okhue- okhue - parrot isen - isen - five eken- eken- marketday kpokpo-kpokpo-disturb/trouble(verb form) iseh - iseh -amen gbe - gbe - hit/beat utamgba - utamgba - spiritual arrow udume - uduma - lion egueh - egueh - hoe aho - aho - big hoe okunmu -okunmu-sickla ri - ri - has many meanings in both lingos but all meanings are same in both lingos. ni - ni - also has many meanings in both lingos but all meanings are same in both lingos. There are examples whereby a whole sentence has same meaning in the two languages e.g Ehi chu uya, Aho ri ugbo. Any Ika or Ishan/Bini person here should please help me translate those sentences. There are uncountable examples. I will add more words/phrases/sentences when am Less busy. |

I was responding to your posts because you were more civil than all those other idiots. But since you have resorted to insults, I ain't gonna give no shit about your posts no more. An igbon must always be an igbon if you like take him to America and dress him in suit, if he gets wet by the rain he will pul his suit and dry it with smoke from firewood even if others are drying theirs in the drying machine, because that is what he's acustomed to. An igbo must always behave like an igbon. This last time I said Ohimin is the word for river in most Edo-related languages. Eg. Most Esan dialects call river ohimin. I never said it is the Benin word for river. And if you examine ika's and bini's word for river you wil see similarities. About all those other bulsht you wrote up there I wil not comment on them. 1 Like |

If ashi in Ogwashi is not derived from Ehi why then do Ika people call Ogwashi by the name OgwaEhi. An average Ika man doesn't know what ashi means in Aniocha/Oshimili language. If Ashinze is the Oshimili version of Arinze why then do the Ikas bear Ehinze. Ashinze is the Oshimili version of Ehinze not Arinze. I can give a thousand and one examples of Ika words/names with Ehi which Aniocha/Oshimili people changed to ashi. If Oshimili is not derived from ohimin why do some part of Aniocha call river oshimin thereby adding S to H. |

@Bigfrancis Ika word for river is ohimin and not ohimini. It's same in many Edo related languages. I can't say if it's the benin that borowed the igbo market days but i know that many igbo what can I cal them kingdoms (though they truely had none) borrowed from benin kingship cos they startet borowing it only recently (after the civil war). |

bigfrancis21: Suddenly, ukwu, the igbo word for 'big' or 'mighty' which was spelt wrongly by the whites as 'uku' has suddenly become a bini word? So because these cities, Oka spelt as 'Awka', Enugwu spelt 'Enugu', Owere spelt 'Owerri', Onicha spelt 'Onitsha', Okunano was spelt 'Awkunanaw' were spelt wrongly by the whites (because then the standard Igbo spelling orthography hadn't yet been developed), hence they don't deserve to be Igbo towns again, right? Oh I see. They are now Benin words because they deviate from their standard Igbo spellings, right?Its posible that your Oshimili friend doesnt knw the meanin of his name hence the assumption, cos that's what it is. What does Arinze mean in Igbo. Really want to know. I think Oshimili is derived from the Ika word Ohimin. They always change the letters "F" and "H" in Ika words to "SH" to form their own version but wit same meaning examples include oHimi to oSHimili, okpoHo to okpoSHo, but some simply say Okpoho, eHi to aSHi, aFia to aSHia, oFia to oSHia e.t.c they also change "L" to "R" eg. IRoRo to iLoLo etc. I wil add more if you want. What is the meaning of ogwa in igbo? On the 4 market days do you know the people that started using it first? We say igbos borowed bini style of kıngship eg. the ada and eben and style of dressing because it started in our very eye few decades ago. Igbos had traditional sword but definitely not the Ada and Eben. It's reserved for people with royal blood. The igbos don't know what it is that why every tom and harry that take a Chieftancy title wil have it. You can't say who borow from who in acculturation that occured before the colonial era because they were not documented, their was no Chinua Achebe to write a novel on igbo culture then and their was no internet or any other means to cache/archive information. |

@ Bigfrancis Since when onyeishi become onye nshi again? Incase you dont know onyeishi is a variant of onyeisi or onyisi. Nsuka people sometimes change S to SH and always change letter A to E eg. Akwa to Ekwa, Anya to Enya etc. |

To know that the igbos are up to something, in any igbo website when they want to list igbo cities the first city they call is Agbor, Asaba, Ibusa, Ogwashi-UKU, Port harcort, before they list any SE City. Some have even extended it to Igbanke and Umunede leaving some more develop SE city. They bombard these lies in every website so as to misinform people. That reminds me, I read in one igbo site that the name Ogwashi Uku is Igbo, and that it means palace of nshi as if ogwa is an igbo word. That's a big lie, Ogwashi Uku is a combination of three Benin words though one of them has been coruptd. Ogwa means palace/gathering in Benin/Anioma languages. Ashi is the Aniocha/Oshimili version of Ika/Benins Ehi and it means God/personal god/the creator/guardian spirit and destiny. While Uku is the Benin word for big. Some igbos have started changing the speling to ukwu inorder to make it look igbo. Ashi is a very popular word in Aniocha/Oshimili area. They use it to make sentences such as Ashi oyen neduya etc. They use it to give names like Ashiedu, Ashioma etc. You can now deduce the meaning of Ogwashi-Uku from the above. Ask any Aniocha/Oshimili person the meaning of ashi and see if am lyeing. 1 Like |

Why is that it's only the igbos outside of Ikaland that call us igbos. I have never heard an igbo man anywhere in Ikaland say Ika is Igbo. Are they afraid? Or maybe they know better than their igbo brothers outside Ikaland. I am not igbo and I can never be igbo. God forbid. A people that sell their women for money. A people that kil their sons inorder to inherit their wive and property leaving the man's children to die of hunger. The other day we went to Imo state for marriage can't believ what I saw. We also went to thesame Imo for the burial of an inlaw, they were requesting for a cow even though we were the one that actually gave them a wife. What an uncultured and barbaric bunch ıgbos are. Always twisting things to suit them. Bunch of hypocrytes and propagandist. 1 Like |

In Abuja where I live, the Edos are my closest brothers apart from my Ika brothers. I relate with them more than I relate with even my Aniocha/Oshimili brothers. I have never been called an Igbo by them even during my Sec. Sch. in Benin. Even other Delta ethnic groups don't call us igbos apart from the Urhobos that call us Igbos for political reason. I spent all my primary and Sec. Days in Edo and Delta States, I understand all the cultures in these two states. The length and bredth of these two states are bound together by their Benin migrations, cultures and traditions practiced their. 1 Like |

bigfrancis21: I have this Ndokwa/Ukwuani native track on my phone called 'Egwu Asaba' which I love and play constantly. The song is just the same as every other Anambra Igbo song and I understand the song perfectly. I had to ask the guy who gave me the song what Anambra dialect was used and funny enough he told me its his native Ndokwa or Kwale dialect! I was like, for real? I understand it very well. It means the Ndokwa people are a perfect sub-group of the Igbo tribe. And these are the same people that will come out tomorrow and deny being Igbo when their Igbo is very sound.what a confused man you are.

I hereby appeal to all Nigerians at home and abroad, especially Ikas and Deltans to help save one of our own, Babatunde Okungbowa, who goes by the stage name, OJB. He needs 6 million Naira for kidney transplant. For those who havn't heard of him, He is a singer and a producer. He has a lot of good tracks to his credit and has produced almost all the big names in Nigeria Music Industry. You can help with your cash or your prayers. 2 Likes |

All the names you mentioned there are from the same rootword, why mention all the names that starts with obi. On ezechime, names get corrupted and examples abound in the ancient world of great men that are called different names in different languages by different tribes. The names that are most popular survive while the rest may go extinct. The Edos called him Ikhime while the Igbos called him Ezechime. Besides am not from an Ezechime clan.

Abagworo: Obi has several meanings in Igbo. It could mean heart, palace, a revered 1st son of a large clan or a hereditory King.I know obi means heart in igbo but on palace maybe hut is what you mean by palace. On obi meaning a revered first son in igbo, i dont know cause that's almost thesame thing with what it means in bini. On hereditory kingship, of which am sure you are talking about Anioma kings, you can't prove it's igbo until you prove it. I am Ika man so I don't understand much igbo. From the little I understand I knw that the intonation of the obis in igbo language is different 4rm that of the Obi (as in king) in Ika land. Go to a any Ika Kingdom and listen to the way they pronounce it you will knw it's Edoic. But when pronounced while speakıng english and by non indigenes it's igboid. If you were to judge by intonation which one will you accept as original? That of the indigenes or that of the non indigenes. 1 Like |

You are still mentioning the Obi title when it has been proven in this same thread that it has a benin origin. Obi is a corruptıon of the benin word Ovbi. What does obi mean in igbo? A hut. I wonder how any right thinking person could give such title to their king. 1 Like |

In my own opinion, I think Gh started the hate game. I've never seen a nigerian doin songs like thank God am not a ghanain. But ghanain musicians have done such track and even worse. I've started seeing more and more nigergans that use to talk good of ghana criticising ghana. But if you ask them why you wil get to know that they never hated ghana but only reacting to what they heard ghanain said about nigeria(ns) or what ghana government did to nigerians living in ghana.

it's amusing the way Igbos in nairaland propagate falsehood. They will tell you the correct way to speak ur language. Every thing Agbontaen wrote is pure owa dialect of Ika language. Following Agbontae's posts have made me understand Ika language better. I showed some of his posts to my uncle who speaks impecable ika and knows many ika dialects and ancient ika words to verify some words that are new to me like ika names of things from his posts. He was very proud of him. 1 Like 1 Share |
