If anybody is looking for the blogger behind that obviously fake story, that is him above with the moniker "cursedIboes".

His job is to generate hate.

CursedIboes:
WTF. Your kinsmen were slaughtered in the North, you will come online to blame afonja. They are being slaughtered in Bayelsa and you still blaming afonja that allow you live peacefully in their region. You are a disgrace to Chukwu Abiama.

Of course, u have login with one of ur many moniker to do wat Afonja do best.

U have spent all day with several moniker from the home page staisfying ur heart with as much hate comment that ur little brain can think of.

Guess wat, this is too far below the belt for me to engage u at any level.

However, somebody need to tell u that ur death will be violent one.

Ikwerre is now Igbo, na the samething we see with Nzegwu Anioma Coup.


First they are not igbo but wen something happen, na the same people campaigning that they are not igbo will be the first to shout Igbo at the top of their voice from the roof top.

Though this story is still an attempt to start fight trouble between Igbo and Ijaw becos of the Biafra movement.

I have reason to believe it is a fake news.

We just watch and laugh...

Y should we not laugh?

Afonja are trying very hard to start a fight between the Igbo and Ijaw.

They know the two have very good record of peaceful coexistence.

Let them keep writing igbo in every story.

It is Igbo that is the killer.

3. The above examples shed light on the issue at hand concerning Ikwerre, as well as Ukwuani, Ika, and some other languages spoken in Rivers State. These languages are Igboid but they cannot be called dialects of Igbo because they have evolved over the years to be unintelligible to Igbo speakers. Their cultures have also evolved to be quite distinct from mainstream Igbo culture and they also have their own dialects.


So to answer your question: Igbo actually has dialects, as earlier mentioned, such as Ngwa, Owerre, Enuani, Ezza, etc. However, some languages are simply derivatives of Igbo, and nothing more. Ikwerre falls within the latter. This is the status quo in current linguistic studies on Ikwerre.

Ukwuani is spoken in Anambra by Onitsha and Ogbaru. Ika follows from Ukwuani directll from the East. Igbo is very different. The languagess u mentioned as examples are dialect.

If u want derivates try Ekpeye.

fratermathy:
You are getting it wrong.

There is a difference between dialects and language family. Igbo has many dialects such as Ngwa, Aro, Enuani, Owerre, Bende, Ezza, Wawa, etc. Yoruba also has various dialects like Ekiti, Ijebu, Awori, Igbomina, Ilaje, etc.

However, there are some languages that are not regarded as dialects but simply a member of a specific language family either as a derivative or by other linguistic or socio-cultural factors. In Nigeria, many languages are derived from others but these new languages have taken different shapes that they cannot be called dialects anymore. Apart from the linguistic factor, socio-cultural factors also play important roles. Speakers of certain derivative languages can take a distinct ethnic identity from its proto-linguistic ethnic group and thus, seizes to be a dialect.

Let me demonstrate what I have said:
1. Itsekiri is a Yoruboid language but not a dialect of Yoruba because the Itsekiri language has taken new linguistic forms, mostly from Bini, Urhobo and Ijaw. Apart from the linguistic exclusiveness ushered by these new forms, Itsekiri speakers have also taken a distinct identity from Yoruba, as evident in their way of life. This explanation goes for the Igala as well.

2. Urhobo, Isoko, Erhowa, Okpe, Epie-Atissa, Ishan, Afenmai, Etsako, Degema, etc, are regarded as Edoid languages. This means they all originate from a proto-Edoid language. However, they have evolved in isolation over the years, so much that they are mutually unintelligible to their speakers. They have also had new forms which were ushered by the languages they came in contact with. Culturally, they are all distinct. They cannot, thus, be said to be dialects of Edo but members of the Edoid language family. Each of these languages even has its own dialects as proof of its distinctive shape.

3. The above examples shed light on the issue at hand concerning Ikwerre, as well as Ukwuani, Ika, and some other languages spoken in Rivers State. These languages are Igboid but they cannot be called dialects of Igbo because they have evolved over the years to be unintelligible to Igbo speakers. Their cultures have also evolved to be quite distinct from mainstream Igbo culture and they also have their own dialects.


So to answer your question: Igbo actually has dialects, as earlier mentioned, such as Ngwa, Owerre, Enuani, Ezza, etc. However, some languages are simply derivatives of Igbo, and nothing more. Ikwerre falls within the latter. This is the status quo in current linguistic studies on Ikwerre.

There is a big difference between Edo and Igbo cases.

Igbo people understand Ikwerre and Ikwerre understand igbo. The key difference is the pronunciation sound for the same word. Ikwere is an igbo dialect.

There are more complicated form of igbo dialect than Ikwere in Ebonyi, but they will tell u that they are igbo.

A classic example of wat u are trying to explain is applicable to Ekpeye. Igbo people cannot understand Ekpeye but it is an Igboid language.

So Ekpeye will fit in with ur example number 2. Ekpeye principal dialects are Ako, Upata, Ubie, and Igbuduya

coordinator lmfao!

nengibo:
[s]This is the identity Ikwerre claim, to be of edo decent dats why no igbo can understand Ikwerre language, their culture & pronunciation is not igbo and is ijoid, thats why they are an ethnic group of their own not igbo[/s]

go back 2 school.

nengibo:
Even eleme this days is called Port harcourt, Ikwerres are not igbo, dey are of edo decent

Where their Edo name now?

Ogogoro drinker?

Even Igbos are suppose to be Edo too, yet Benin is still the smallest kingdom in Nigeria.

U get head so?

Ekinematics:
This one is seeking for attention.

urhobo goat na him i talk. sapele urhobo goat, i go buy.

Ekinematics:
Their usual line.
Please post something cerebral without screaming Yoruba or Afonja.
Anyone against your biafran delusion is Yoruba.

You see why we will never accept your by force attache with us?
How do you force us to join your biafran fantasy and even claiming our lands without you knowing us?

When we talk we are Afonjas, so we have no right to talk.
You are the supreme one that will sit in one enlcave in SE and tell us our ethnicity even claiming our land.
No worry. Port Harcourt treatment part 2 is loading.

hahahaha! i wan go sapele buy urhobo goat.


Rivers is firmly Ikwere and they are igbo. Thank God for the creation of Bayelsa.

Next will be Anioma State.

Both Koniju and Tuboniju are IJAWS but Tuboniji also consist of ADOPTED slaves that we took as ours especially their women.

A slave has been adopted, if he/she wants to return to his/her place, the option is to return back. No slave is greater than the sons and daughters of the soil.

Ijaws are magnanimous and we have human dignity, hence we see adoptees as our own.

No adopted child can Carry the fortunes of the Foster parents to that of the biological parents. it is never done anywhere. When you are adopted you take the identity of the one that adopt you else you return to where you were picked.

As for PH, I have no business discussing it more than what I already posted.

Meanwhile, stop mentioning me please, I don't appreciate your mentions.

Thanks

Dont be offensive. Try to tell urself the truth.

Tuboniji are igbos. That is y igbo is widely spoken in Okirika till date.

There was nothing such as the Colony and Protectorate of Lagos. You are so enmeshed in fake education. I guess it was not free too.

Wat was the west called? Was it Benin Republic?

TonyeBarcanista:
The status of Portharcourt is not what is up for contest.

Though the Okrika clan of Ijaw nation (which I belong to) own the Southern part of the city without dispute, there is still agitation that the entire PH belongs to Okrika, including the section occupied by Diobu people of Ikwerre, which was allegedly called "Igweocha". That however is a contest between the Ikwerre and Okrika clan of Ijaw nation.

Notwithstanding, it is out of place and inappropriate for anyone to think it is an Igbo city or any other tribe. Specifically, the Southern part is never up for contest.

It is funny however that the Okrikas are Ijaws, while the Ikwerre that is the other Party in the dispute claim to be a distinct group. I am not aware that the Igbos are laying claim, whether formally or otherwise to the city, except their claim is through the Ikwerre angle, which is the business between the Ikwerre and the Igbo.

lt is funny that indigenous people of the city aren't killing themselves over the subject but sadly a man who was supposed to be a respected professor, who isn't even a native of Rivers state took it upon himself to rekindle another round of social media controversy.

I can't help but comment on this for record sake.

Whatever the case, the lands were there before our birth, they will remain where they are after our death. Why should we kill ourselves?

Okirika are divided, into the koniju and the tuboniju... One group are farmers who descended from the Igbo while the other are fishermen who descended from the Rukwo.
Barcanista himself has said it sometimes ago that he's a descendant of the fishermen which makes him a proud Rukwo.

I am an advocate that if Igweocha was to expand with development Okirika should be added. That way Rukwo can really be stake holders with the Ikwere.

For now the Rukwo in Igweocha are migrant like igbo to Lagos. Igweocha is Ikwere land and the Ikwere are Igbos.

cc: cheruv, joeprince23, bigfrancis21, Abagworo come and see the type of lies tonyeBarcanista is telling here ooo

Nnamdi, Nnamdi, Nnamdi ka ayi geso...

Every where from Edo to Calabar and Enugu to Port Harcourt is Southern Nigeria.

Southern Nigeria extends into Cameroon.

This is the map IPOB are looking at.

zionmade:
Now go back and ask ur parents is Portharcourt in eastern Nigeria?
If yes den Portharcourt is a biafran land
Biafra has many ethnic groups of which ikwerre is one of dem.
There was never a south-south it is just a geo POLITICAL zone and not a GEOGRAPHICAL region.
In as much as i prefer biafra without d so called South south, truth must still be told

This is the first map of Nigeria and the only valid map of Nigeria.

If we were to divide Nigeria, the south clearly was divided by the British.

Besides, i think she like this guy more but fell for the bigger star.

Same thing happened with Lilian and Ubi. Not good taking somebody girl becos of power, money and fame.

She will always wonder about the other.

you don't need to be domineering or possessive in trying to put a woman in her place. There are other ways. In summary, understanding and patience matters between couples having such issues.
