you say they speak Igbo but they said they don't speak Igbo. You can't force someone to be you. How many plenty people do you know in Delta. up to 100. How many Igbo speaking communities do you know in Delta except the very popular ones. You call them all Anioma but some call themselves Ndokwa while others call themselves ukwuani. You claim all of them as Igbo but they see themselves as three different tribe. Even the lka man in Delta is beginning to think he is no longer part of Ndokwa, ukwuani or Anioma. The only places people identify as Igbo is Asaba and a few communities around. Even those we use to refers to as Urhobo no longer see themselves as one. Delta is complicated my dear. Communities are tracing their ancestry. You can only get the clear picture of you are a deltan
Ose mwen, you are simply going around in circles. We have gone over this already

Oliseh (Ika)= Oritse (Itshekiri)= Orisha (Yoruba)= Olisa (Igbo)
Okuta (Yoruba)= Okute( Ika)= Okwute(Igbo).

# My question: which of these language bastardized the other(s)?
Which of them is the original and which one copied from the others?
I have no idea. Whats the answer?

That people have crossed over and collected words from each other, especially after being forced into the same country, is not surprising.

No its not. It just got interesting. Very interesting. You see, I've seen this counter-accusation tactic before. About a year ago in webmasters section. The moniker using it was a pro scammer and stalker know as PrinceOgun/Copperjay. Both have monikers have been banned for life but I believe he's still active here under a new moniker.


Let's see where OgaBuhari leads to.

2. They answer Igbo firstnames and surnames
And always rushing to explain themselves when you didnt ask!

I will introduce myself, Hi, my name is midnighter.

The other person: "Okay, I am Amaka, but I'm not Igbo, I am Ikwerre"

Did anybody ask them? No. But they will keep explaining it because they know it doesnt make any sense.

You totally misunderstood me. Its because i hear these things amongst non-muslims that just paint Islam with a brush of misunderstanding and misconceptions. I agree i should've asked you for your source. My mistake.
Okay.

But you can see from my comments here that I do at least have some idea of Islamic concepts, even if you dont totally agree with me.

What Im saying is that you should at least give people some credit and not assume that the reason we dont follow your faith is because all we do is sit and denigrate it because we are too stupid to go and read, which is what you have been implying in this interaction.

i based my assumptions on the fact that there are authentic sources for beliefs, practices and established norms. There are also, idle gossips and interpretation of these things. You need to focus on the authentic sources. In the villages, people learn arabic by writing on slates with dye (uli), now, there are malams that write prayer verses, wash it off and drink it believing it will cure ailments etc. Just like those letters of indulgences of the Catholic Church back in the day. These are all practices, yes they have a source and over time people believe in them. Now, in Islamic circles, the prayer of Jonah when he was in the belly of the fish was answered. Laillahailla anta Subhanaka ini kuntum minal zolimin. Since this prayer worked for Jonah, (Yunus) it is believed to be a powerful prayer in times of difficulty. So, there are origins, sources to these beliefs. So, i expect you to at least do your research and not quote or beleive. Now, if you notice miracles are not as common as they used to be. Also, all the Nigerian mega churches are all in the USA. They have major crusades mostly in Texas, however, one thing is missing here, miracles! You wont see one single miracle performed or talked about, why cos the USA is a country of laws and they are not as lazy as Nigerians. Someone will most definitely trace the history of any miracle performed and burst you out. so If you go by what most people say or believe, you have to talk about other factors as well and most importantly quote a source in the quran or hadith.
Excuse me! Just excuse me because you are irritating me.

Did you ask me whether I did research or not? No.

You do not need to quote Qur'anic scripture every time you make a statement about Islam. You do not need to quote from a source absolutely every time you say something. You can do that if you want to to corroborate your point or if somebody asks you to prove it.

If I make the statement "Salat is one of the 5 pillars of Islam" do I need to look for a source that says that before we take it as a given? No.

Stop trying to undermine me by mentioning idle gossip as if there is anything wrong with my brain. If I make a statement you can either ask me to corroborate it with a source or hold your peace.

Dont talk down to anybody here, because we are not Muslims does not mean any of us are stupid so just stop with that condescending tone.

they speak, run their political affairs with English. I don't think there is any Scotsman who don't speak English. you said it is okay to trace their heritage but you don't want those adopted the Igbo language to trace their ancestry. even if they came from England, they still see themselves as Americans. Trump is still a proud American
Youre going off the point. You said Scottish people speak English as if that means anything. Dont we in Nigeria also speak English?

The point is that Scottish people have their own native Scottish language, which is Scottish Gaelic.

They do not speak English with a Scottish accent and then claim that its their own language that has no relation to English.

I cant comment on the Benin heritage stuff because I am not well-versed in that area but I know that plenty of Delta people identify as Igbo and speak Igbo language. This is what I am telling you.

Trump have links to Scotland but do he see himself as a Scotsman. do Irishmen, Scotsmen or Welsh call themselves Englishmen because they speak English. answer me and stop dodging the question
Who is dodging anything here, apart from you?

Irish people speak Irish, their own native language and English, the language forced on them due to colonialism.

They do not speak English and then claim to speak some other language that is similar to English but is not English, that they "adopted" from some mysterious source so you just have no point whatsoever!

Donald Trump is an American with mixed Scottish and German heritage, and so huh

do Scots, Irish, Welsh and even Americans refers to themselves as Englishmen. Americans came from many places.
The English people who went to America originally have descendants there now who still claim their English heritage several generations back.

In fact they make sure that their children marry from particular families so that they will keep their bloodline.

you meet with some communities in ndokwa and they tell you what they are speaking is Aboh. some say it is ukwuani not Igbo. some say theirs is Ika not Igbo. I am not the one erasing them. they are not just okay with being called Igbo just as someone will call himself Americans, Welsh, Scot, Irish. those ones speak English but don't call themselves English
And Im telling you that I come across people from all those places, even on this forum and they tell me that they are Igbo and they speak Igbo.

English people speak English

Welsh people speak Welsh

Irish people speak Irish/ Gaelic

Scottish people speak Scottish Gaelic

An American with English ancestry will tell you that; in fact they will take you to where their ancestor first docked their ship from England and signed the immigration register into America. It is a source of pride for them to be able to trace their heritage.

All of what youre saying doesnt make any sense whatsoever.

that Americans speak English does not make them English. even in UK, you still have those who call themselves Welsh , Scot, Irish but they still join the English man in speaking his language to
Americans are descended from the English, which is why they speak English.

Or youre going to say that they "adopted a language similar to English but its not English"? Smh

In fact the variety of English spoken in America is closer to the original English spoken by the colonisers than the English spoken in England today.

Once again, no point.

there is no town called ukwuani in Delta. what you call Anioma is now being divided into Ndokwa, ukwuani and Anioma by those trying to trace their root. infact communities in what they call ndokwa and ukwuani now claim their ancestors migrated from Benin. the enugu and ebonyi accept to be Igbo but the Igbo in Delta are not even United. they are already tracing their ancestry
I have modified it, that was a mistake.

Tracing their ancestry but do they speak Igbo or not? Considering what I wrote in my last post

What language do those communities speak?

the Itshekiri uses Yoruba name. Isoko and Urhobo sometimes use Yoruba/Benin names. the Isoko and Urhobo language are similar but both claim different ethnic group.
Itshekiris accept that they are related to Yoruba and Itshekiri language itself is an ancient dialect of Yoruba.

Urhobo/ Isoko dichotomy is an individual political issue; some of them accept that they are the same yet others argue vehemently that they are totally different

niaralandtopuser:
If you read the history of most towns in Delta you will understand what I am saying. I can give you the names of 3 to 5 town in Anioma who trace their ancestry to the Benin kingdom. some of them claim their ancestors migrated from Benin. that they adopted a similar language to the Igbo does not mean they are Igbo. at school , Anioma and Igbo cultural day are celebrated separately
Is it that they adopted a language similar to Igbo or that they speak Igbo? So where did they get the quasi-Igbo language from?

Igbo people are naturally disparate; we were just unified recently under the umbrella term "Igbo". The Igbo dialects spoken in part of Enugu and Ebonyi states are completely unintelligible to the average Igbo speaker, yet they still accept themselves as Igbo even though going by your logic, they have even more right to claim that they are something else because the language has almost nothing to do with central Igbo.

At school, Anioma and Igbo days are celebrated differently for political reasons that dont hold water. I have met plenty of people from Delta who just call themselves "Delta Igbo" from Ibusa, Kwale, Agbor. What is your point exactly
