I disagree with you. Urhobo has many dialects. Some of them include ughiewvien, Udu, Uvwie, Ughelli, Olomu, Agbarho, Okpe, Agbarha, Jesse, Oghara, and Ewvreni. Okpe dialect is similar to Uvwie dialect. An Ughiewven man might have a hard time understanding an Uvwie and an Okpe man. The general Urhobo spoken is that of Agbarho.

Any of this dialect can choose to become a distinct ethnic group like the Isoko if they want. Likewise many choose to remain in the Urhobo nation just like the Okpes. The Isokos and Urhobos were jointly reffered to as the Sobos by the British during the colonial era. While the Isokos decided to forge an ethnic identity of theirs later, the other Urhobo dialects, including the Okpes, decided to stay within the Urhobo nation.

It is the same way an Anambra man might have a hard time understanding an Edda man from Ebonyi. But they are all Igbos.

The names and culture of the different dialects, plus Okpe, and even that of Isoko, are quite similar with minor differences here and there.

I just want to point out that there are different dialects among the Urhobos.

but can u call an isoko man an urhobo man? Apart from argument on Nairaland? Their languages r similar but it’s not urhobo, can u compare okpe and urhobo language with that of isoko ? U can’t .

Urhobo actually voted for Okowa. we are not as greedy as the southeast.

the Urhobos don't have governor now but have the highest ranked elected individual in the Southsouth/East. your 45m population should get you more than just governor in Nigeria. you should be battling with the Yorubas and hausa

Asaba may be capital but does not measure economically to warri

ibori is an urhobo man naw

Lostz:
when you normally play Anioma cup, how many community from Ndokwa participate?

maybe meeting in Anglican are like that because you live in an area that identify as Anioma.

you are asking if I live in Delta? you will think I am ukwuani if I start speaking their language.

this is pointless . U win

Lostz:
it is a political term coined to unify the igbiod speaking groups in Delta. but it failed to achieve that purpose

R u in delta ? All Igbos in delta state call themselves aniomas. Even Meetings in Anglican Church hv section for aniomas, lol failed ? U r wrong my dear . Very wrong

I don’t like listening to music.

wow this is amazing ,, with how amazing music is ? Gosh new discoveries everyday . MUSIC IS LIKE MY HIGH

Lostz:
that is a general political name.

but internally we know who the real Aniomas are.

you can't force someone to be you

lol anioma isn’t even an ethnic group in delta state . It’s just a general term

darfay:
No qualms bro, are you also isoko too?




When they eventually get their state, u will know Agbor is different from Aboh. But ukwale and ika people don't identity with Anioma

lol u are kidding. They all do , I schooled in delsu , we do meetings together , do cultural stuffs together. We identify ourselves as one and that is anioma . Ika , ukawani , ndokwa , aniocha , ishimili all fall under this umbrella. . Anioma is a name for all Igbo speaking deltans, I am a full fleshed , born and brought up deltan. The word Anioma started when the Igbo speaking part of delta wanted to create their own state but it did not pull through . A deltan who speaks igbo that says I am not anioma is plain ignorant. I am yet to meet such a person , anioma isn’t even an ethnic group per say . We hv our different ethnic groups.

Nwanyiogwashi:
Urhobo people are not the majority or are you counting isoko and okpe as part of Urhobo

isoko is not urhobo n that’s fact ,, but urhobo and okpe is still debatable. But isoko no join , their language is totally different. Their names r different , their culture is also different

Lostz:
Anioma, ukwuani and Ndokwa are different ethnic groups. they speak similar but different languages. they see themselves different politically

it’s ika , ukwuAni , and Ndokwa , they are all aniomas . All the igbo speaking part of delta is called anioma

otokx:
What is the objective of this thread, are we not united in the big heart?

Thank you! I don’t understand why people trying to divide the small unity we r managing

Why are threads coming up for the sole aim to divide deltans ?

In all sincerity, you don’t always need intellect to keep good marriage. You even need to exercise a good level of foolishness to tolerate another human for life.
