Ihuomadinihu:
Many communities/clan in Abia use Ghu/gu instead of gi which is even closer to the Enugu you are referencing. Isuikwuato to Aro(odumchi will have to verify), use I instead of N e.g M la agu akwukwo.
Parts of Enugu don't speak like Anambra apart from places influenced by the so called Anaedo dialect or in Enugu town proper where many Anambra people reside. So i still insist that southern Anambra is mostly a hybrid of Southern Igbo dialects.
There are so many things to pick out from those Oji river sentences which make them close to southern igbo than anaedo or onitsha,lmao.



For the sake of sanity in this thread,throw away that classy trash. I don't see what is classy in what looks like people struggling to speak igbo language,since you have refused to note the part Onitsha played in Igboland.

Again,how is Nnewi dialect and Orumba similar to Orlu? Stop beating around and address my points. You said they are hybrid of Imo and I want you to prove it. I know Nnewi ,Orumba and Orlu .

Chiwude:
This post will contradict you especially as it involves Nnewi and Orumba.

How so?

Chiwude:
How do you classify borrowed? If you say Orlu borrowed the Orisa, Olisa names then how do you classify that of Onitsha.

Onicha people are from Anioma. And the word Olisa originated from that axis. Orlu people learnt it.

Congratulations to Anambra state for winning the MBGN 2015.

Nne,daalu. I am sure you are not surprised with Chino's response.
And indeed we have serious erosion problems and it's will gulp a lot of money to fix it. Anambra can't do it alone. We need the feds ,international agencies and even private bodies. Obi did a lot in working on some of the sites but we have can't do it alone.

I know you have always been a blockhead with the IQ of a panda - and your English usage is as atrocious as they come.

However, I want you to write 40 words about yourself and post it on here.

This is just a quick assessment to see the improvements you have made over the years.

Don't try to be smart with a real stud like me. You are nothing but a little sissy boy who can't stop crying over a.as whopping you got from Igbo boys. You come online trying to form gangster..
Nigga,you are so dumb and you dare talk about IQ. An emotion Laden tag.got like you need to go suck a ddick!

@shymm3x, forehead girls stay repping, Tyra Banks, Rihanna, Adele, Agbani Darego.....what has your flat head gotten you? just say what's really paining you and keep her head out of it

He is still hurting from injuries the Igbo Niggas inflicted on him in past years.

Shymm3x:


Fvck Igbo nyggahs and their emotions...I post what I feel. If they've got a problem with it, let them come see.

The biitch is fugly with XXXL forehead...she looks like an alien. That's what I said on the first thread and that's what I'm saying on this one.

She's fugly.

Well,your opinion wouldn't change the fact that she is going down in history as MBGN...She made history and some cool bucks in a shot. She is gonna Grace the world stage with her forehead and Nigga the pain and emotion is on you. womanliness and punk a.ss Niggas hate!

Shymm3x:

You got ethered and blown to smithereens by ya own grammatical bombs like a suicide bomber. Yet you're still talking.

"ethered"...I know you were never a wordsmith. I smell Tommy Sotomayor....lol

You kidding right ?

Shymm3x:


But how come ya folks always cry about everything?

Is it innate?

Igbo guys are very protective of their girls....Don't see anything wrong with that. I thought you 'd quit these tribalistic stuff by now. Today,you are an pan Africanist tomorrow you are a tribalist. Sshit is getting old,except if you were just clowning.

Shymm3x:


Lol. So that's how ya crippled dad messed up ya wretched life and turned you into a homoerotic whiner, no?

Now, we're getting somewhere...at least you have something in common with other flaming phaggots playing for the rainbow team. A lot of them also got molested at a young age.

Just stop crying to me - go cry to ya mum.

Nigga,your game is getting lame and lamer and little boys are pissing all over you....

Congrats,Nwada di mma.

Certain areas of Orumba and Nnewi souths generally speak sort of a mix of Anambra and Northern Imo dialects and their dialects are not close to what is considered mainstream Imo dialect or Owerri. With proximity to Imo state, it is understandable they picked up words from the Northern Imo axis.

Could another reason for the preference of Anambra Igbo by southern Igbo be because it is considered as 'classy'? I personally know Ezinne Akudo's (one-time most beautiful girl in Nigeria) mother (from Imo state, one of those boundary LGAs with Anambra state) and this lady prefers to speak Anambra Igbo instead. You would never tell she's not from Anambra. I had to ask her one day and she told me she's from Imo state, Arondizuogu I think. I also had another neighbour of ours from Arondizuogu who switches easily from Anambra Igbo to mainstream Imo Igbo when she wants. And her Anambra Igbo is flawless. This preference for Anambra Igb sometimes exhibited by people from the South is something I have witnessed too often.

The Igbo musician, Pericoma, is from Northern Imo i think but majority of his songs carry a strong mainstream Anambra flavour.

Now,let me correct you. Nnewi has a very distinct dialect that stands out from everybody else and it's not a mixure of northern Imo rather a few borrowed words. I literally speak Anaedo dialect. And so is Orumba they speak nothing like northern Imo....I have Awgbu friends and they look at me with amazement when I speak...They say vulu...carry. Nwankili....little kid. They speak very different from northern Imo.

bigfrancis21:


@Bold...I agree with you. And that's the reason Northern Igbo people find it hard to learn southern dialects or the lack of interest thereof in learning southern dialects. Moreover, the average Anambra person does not feel the need to speak in a southern Igbo dialect when he can easily be understood. The reverse cannot be said of several southern groups. The unwillingness of Anambrarians to learn southern Igbo is not really a matter of ego.

When you guys say "unwillingness" it sounds like somebody has been asked to learn and they refused. The phrase should be lack of interest.

ChinenyeN:


It may not be an explicit matter of ego, but there is ego in this nonetheless. It may be an extension of other things, but it's still relevant to this topic.

Firstly,there is no such thing as "unwillingness",rather what you have is the assumption by Anambra speakers that every Igbo understands their tongue and this came from whence the Onicha axis Igbo was used as the language of worship in the church. The early adoption of this version made the tongue popular and intelligible to most Christians who are mostly Catholics. When I converse with a man from Owerri he has to lighten his tongue so I can understand him.

Chiwude:
How do mean? Have you heard of the Ogutan's and the Oru of Orlu zone. Are you aware that up till today there is an offshoot of my community in Oguta called Ugbelle. Are you aware that many of my Isu ancestors usually visit those riverine areas of the Niger-Delta during the planting season, while some went for trading with the Nkwerre's. Many visited Aboh kingdom with the Oru's during it's epoch days while some founded communities in Ikwerre and Ekpeye. These and more are why many of our ancestors go by the name Osa, Olisa and Orisa. My maternal great great great grandfather Nwachukwu Duroshimiri was a wealthy slaver and his father before him were domiciled in Igweocha during those days. Its was in Igwenga with the Jaja's that the British saw him and appointed him warrant chief of my community. So don't think its only Onitsha that bear those names.

The lecture about the slaves is irrelevant. And doesn't your admission to your forefathers visiting the riverine areas lends credence to my statement that Olisa is foreign to Orlu ?

Ihuomadinihu:
Which one is classy again? Hahaha,i see that supremacy nonesense rearing it's head slowly.

And it's scared you to death!
By the way As each who is well respected here can't be called a supremacist...it's an insult.

Chiwude:
Wow! Awka . My maternal Great Grand father went by the name Orisakwe. I was wondering how he came about that name.

The name came as a result of influence from Ogbaru people nothing more. If I see anybody from Idenmili with the name Chinemere I will instantly know it was borrowed.

Ihuomadinihu:
I wouldn't notice you o. Yes, Southern Anambra don't speak mainstream onitsha igbo dialects.

They don't speak uniformly but there are major elements. But you still haven't addressed my points about Nnewi and Orumba. You say they speak like Imo.

Chiwude:
@Radoillo Osebuluwa may be an Onitsha word, but that doesn't mean that names like Osaigwe, Osakwe, Olisa, Nworisa are not pre-eminent in Orlu.

They may exist but it didn't originate from there.

Ihuomadinihu:

There is nothing like Anambra word. There are different lects in Anambra. I've listened to Nnewi, Ihiala, Orumba people and their dialects are close to what is spoken in Imo.

Since you know about Nnewi why don't you tell us how similar their dialect is to Imo state ? And Orumba too. I will advice you to keep shut about what you don't know.

ezeagu:


But Anambra is a 20 years old state that's diverse itself, do you mean Onitsha?

It has long been established you are a wise man.

Ihuomadinihu:
^Pls don't get into my mentions! I don't have the time to argue with a crazy supremacist.
