Please, this is not an appropriate Ika song to use to showcase Ika culture. It's too poor in everything. I can interpret it but try another song please.

And can all those shameless Igbos peddling lies how Ika people has majority Igbo names listen to the names the musician is calling?

RedboneSmith:
I don't understand every line, but from what i understand the song is calling on people to rep their land/hometown/village wherever they may be, because one's land is the source of one's existence. Then towards the end he was calling out and hailing prominent Ika people.

RedboneSmith:
Language-wise, Ika language is closer to Igbo than to Edo. There are many lines in that song that I understand. I wonder if an Edo person can understand as much as I did.

Oduduwaa:
Obi of Igbo

With the Benin Abe Sword of Office and beads.

Probz:
This Ika issue's being discussed on my thread as of now. They're more of a hybrid of Edo and Igbo linguistically at least and that's led to an ethnic identity crisis with them.

Urhobo and Isoko are definitely Edoid and they're both classified as Edoid languages.

Oil from the Niger Delta is a curse.

Before the discovery of crude oil, Other regions were feeding the Niger Delta and now they want to die.

Thank God oil is no longer selling, we will see what will befall them later.

This is a response to a thread www.nairaland/3585963/umar-musa-university-bans-christian.

I want everyone to know that it is a state owned school and not Federal school as Nairalanders are made to believe.

Tell your governors in alaigbo to permit Muslim students gathering in state owned schools in Alaigbo.

Hypocrites.

You are very mischievious and never straight forward. Have you even read what the dean of the school said about the "proposed law"?(Seunmsg created a thread about it, go look it up). Did you hear when he(dean) said the law became a necessity because some muslim groups are becoming nuisance(s) in the school.


There is absolutely nothing like Christian body in the school according to the dean, so I ask you, how can this outright ban be targetting Christian students/body that is of almost nonexistent in the school?

Nobody is restricting anybody to practice their religion freely. Christian association doesn't exist in the school and the MSSN that only exist in the school as a religion society is being regulated by the school with the introduction of this new law. So how is this a problem?

You know sharia law is binding on only Muslims and you are here making noise about what doesn't concern Christians.


There are schools(including FG owned schools) in the east that doesn't have muslim students associations and you don't see anybody crying about it. Why? Because muslims constituted like 0.001% in those schools, so nobody will even expect muslims to have associations there.

it can be 100% , why not

googlepikins:
am from Rivers Etche, let me start by telling you we have 99.9% everything in common. Be it tradition,

culture,

religion,

way of expressing ourselves.

Apart from asari dokubo tell me another SS and SE person that is Moslem. Goodluck Jonathan is from SS OK, let's agree that he did not do anything for the igbos, but they fought for him like a brother will do for a fellow brother. So where do you people (Yorubas) stand.? With Fulanis? I wish you people Goodluck with them.

Yyeske:
Good, provide us the Obigbo, Etche, Asaba etc dialects construction then compare to those of Owerri, Abakaliki, Abiriba, Nsukka etc then explain why I understand the Rivers and Delta dialects more than the rest.

I guess the latter are no longer Igbos

I still understand the Ikwerre dialect better than that of Owerri even if I've only visited both places
