I can. I can't read or write in Igbo but speaking igbo w/o a link b of English is possible for me

2kris:
i thought is only those boudary enugu and benues..asin those idomas in ubolo are only d idomas speaker igbo and opi junction

Idoma are not Igbo speaking. There are igbo indigenous group in Benue. Those are the ones he was taking about, not idioma

donshaddow:
Woman eeeh... Una too sabi play ball...

Una dribbling skills no get part 3... Lol..

But he said he's from Ukwuani... And he speaks more of igbo.. So he's an igbo if he so wishes...

She's saying the same way you asking others to respect your wish to self identify as ukwuani, likewise, you should respect the wish of Ukwuani's, like the one you guys are talking, that identify as igbo. That's all she was saying.

Oga. Agbor was under benin(Bendel) Pre-1991 We later became Delta. You guys should swim in ignorance.

Lmfaooo. See how the wannabe swirm. Bendel was never called Benin state. Bendel was name of the state and benin was just the capital, not the whole state. Bendel state consisted of common day delta and common day edo state. Agbor was never the capital of bendel thus never part of Benin. Try and sell another story. Attache by force monkey.

**spits on the floor** people like you are not only pathetic but equally disgusting.

emmysoftyou:
bros,God bless u for digging out that thief,mayb he is selling handsets in agbor..
chai that guy na thief o, stynhaq

Lmfaoo. What do you except from his type of pol. I keep saying Yotuba people are the worst set of things on this plsnet. Dem neva shame

bigfrancis21:
Oops. I think you need the history.

His father's name was Obika Ikechukwu. Very Igbotic names. Even Yorubas will quickly shout 'omo ibo' when they hear Ikeshuku.

Have a nice time dealing with the below!:

Did you even read my post in the last page. The guy is not even from delta like he claims. So why allow him to derail a good thread and even engage his stupidity. Seriously Wth is wrong with some you SE igbo?

Can we PLEASE s stick the main topic. I keep coming here to learn about other igbo dialects and I keep seeing is the same dorm of argument you ask done severally. Like jeez

stynhaq:
You are been plain stupid. I was born and schooled in Agbor. precisely Gbenoba Boys Grammar School. Do you hear the name of my school? Gben-Oba. Has a mix of Benin in It.

You Ibos always aint contempt with yourselves. It is not negotiable, we have no affiliation with you guys just as the Ikwerres of Rivers. Can't you respect one's Independence? How difficult is that?

I initially thought the Yorubas and Hausa's were been sentimental, now I know that are 100% right.

We have no roots with you guys. Period. Come to Agbor or Owa (Boji Boji) the only Ibos you see are the one's that came for trade as obtainable elsewhere in Nigeria.

My summary: Mind your own business, do not claim what is not yours. If you need detailed History of Agbor, Go to Ika National Library in Agbor, COE Agbor, Delsu Abraka and Uniben. Stop talking what you assume.

Comment from this guy months ago

John Odigie Oyegun massively stole Edo peoples' money within the short opportunity he had.

Ask me how I know? I was born and brought up in Benin There wasn't PDP or APC then so don't conclude I'm taking sides.

Notice the discrepancy. When this wannabe ' s attaché by force they forget they already given another form of story before.

This wannabe Deltan, pick one story and STICK WITH IT. I can bet a billion dollar you are yoruba and win that bet heavyly

delpee:
Who knows about the roots and language of the Olukumis of Delta? Or better still is there someone from their place on NL who can throw some light into their origjn.?

Olukumis are not Igbo. They are subgroup of Yoruba that migrated to Aniocha area. They were allowed in and given a land to grow though. Albeit, they now speak igbo and rarely any Yoruba And majority of their ppl classified themselves as Igbo. They were never Igbo people to begin with, they just adapted and switched to fit in the groups around them. Currently, the few of their ppl who still know their history and background are trying desperately to bring back a sense of pride to the Olukumis so they can start claiming their real ethnicity, sadly, it's not working.
The igbo they speak is the ones they learned from igbo groups around them.

stynhaq:
And if I am Ika and Deltan, May you and Your Generation, Up to the Sixth be doomed. Both on Earth and on Judgment Day.

You're not even from delta. I just went through your past post. You made ridiculous, stupid, notice me comments. GTFOH and go back to being "deltan" online.

NEXT!!

BTW: next time don't drag Aniocha into your stupidity rant. We didn't send a wannabe m0ron to be our spokesperson. Find out out where your level is and stay there

Kanyol:
Vansnickers and Ikwerreboy are the same person. I followed the link you dropped and confirmed it. Check the time intervals they used to converse and also check their past posts. His arguments were stolen from either a copy and paste or a google result

Actually they are. He also went by the ID kalvan. That's why I told y'all the was the yorubaboy third ID.

He's just some pathetic, wasteful, lose just like the rest of his people

Very few people know about this group but there are actually an Igbo group in Limbe, Cameroon. A friend of mine is actually from that area. He was the first Igbo boy I met that told me he was from Cameroon, till date I envy the sh1t out of those people. They are lucky not be in Nigeria. Anyway, according to him his people are Igbo group in Cameroon but sadly, alot of their culture have intermixed with the Bamouns of Cameroon so their culture is more identical to them than to Igbos in Nigeria. But they still self identify as Igbo despite losing many connections to Igbos of Nigeria. Supposedly their hometown is very close to Nigeria and that's why they still maintain their identity at least according to him. I know they equally recently joined Ohaneze. There rarely much written about them on google to be honest. I went looking for more information about them and apart from the old colonization papers on them, nothing else except pictures of their inauguration of ohaneze. I do believe their ohaneze is also different from the igbo ones in Nigeria; there's more of a kingship than anything else. I may be wrong but from the picture I saw of the inauguration it looks more of a celebration for a king.

In as much as I envy those people and I wish Asaba was in their place, I honestly don't understand why they still claim Igbo since they've lost their culture, the language (trust me when my friends speaks, despite them calling it Igbo. It is not Igbo. It sound like a made up language. They corrupted the living sh1t out of that language), and even ohaneze is a king to them. They pretty much lost the identity that say Igbo so don't understand why they call themselves igbo. anyway, either way i still envy them and I ain't ashamed to say it. I seriously wish my people were lucky enough to be like them and was carved out Nigeria the last time it was carved

ican2020:
Ika is not Igbo and you dear not call an Ika man Igbo man or you get hot s.

Our kingship is by hereditary but that of the Igbo is not.

We are totally different, do you research b4 posting

Look at this monkey. I even see you Ika people as inferior beings, beneath me and every anoicha/oshimili and igbo man out there. I was telling how dare he include a non important people like you ika and dare disclude us. So don't quote me again, beating your chest. You ika people are beneath me. Get out of my face

tonychristopher:
are you sure, kedu local government ha, are they in ohaneze...

Yes I am sure. Just read what they narrated they are going through

http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=56412

I feel so sorry for them. If I can get them out of benue myself, I will do it. In as much as I want Anioma state to become a reality, my heart feels this people need all the hands they can get to get out of that state. Even Igbanke wey complain since no dey get this type of mistreatment. I seriously pity them and it's a shame that noone is barely talking about them despite calling out for help.

OP there's also

Umuezeokoha---it's an igbo community/dialect in Ado, Oju, Okpoku and Obi of Benue State.

I actually feel sorry for this group of people. They cried out they want to be carved back with their Ezza Ezekuna kindred in Ebonyi yet noone has done anything to fix it. It kind of reminds me of Igbanke crying out to be carved back to delta and yet, till date, noone has done anything.

I pity both groups.

Abeg can we stop talking about Ikwerre and the attention seeking Hopeathand came looking for and continue with the threads.

Names of Igbo dialects and where they are located at. That's the topic, let's focus.

If Hopeathand has a problem, let him open up a new thread

tonychristopher:
Lets assume that ikwerre are from benin, which is a travest can you give us archeological and linguitic evidence of that notion, this is a smart age so we should think smart not foolishly, mind you that i am not disputing ikwerre migration either from igbo mainland or benin, which is not far but what i want is SIMPLE ARCHEAOLOGICALAND LINGUISTIC EVIDENCE


now let me give you how linguistic evidence work, some dutch came all the way from europe and settled in africa another continent, they inter married and have a variation of language which is AFRIKAANS and its a dutch language with african flavor, now another one is the igbo in Equitorial Guinea that sourjourned there centuries ago, till today they still maintain their pristine form of igbo and bear igbo names and that place is far,now another instance is the olukumi that is in asaba they migrated from yoruba land but have been igbonized yet go there today they still have yoruba lexicon in their igbo flavor...these are pointer


NOW WHAT IS IKWERRE LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL POINTER TO BENIN MIGRATION? pls dont tell us my papa say, one old man said, we are in an intelligent age, please give us some scientific ,archeological, cultural or even linguistical fact or pointer to this IKEWERRE BENIN THING


Secondly why are you in IGBO thread does it point to affinity or curiousity maybe stupidity of complexitiy of psyche.....I am waiting for this evidence

How did I know you were going to be the first person to fall for it? SMH!!!

Anyway, carry on.

Ikwerreboy:
Igbos igbos igbos, hw mny times hv i called u dirty migrants, Ikwerre,Ekpeye and Ogba are not ikwerre, they have desame ancestrial root trace to benin,(Then Oba awure).. As for the Ndoni people they have never accepted been igbo, only time shall tell, we shall all be here and hear that Rivers state Govt deports 1,000 igbos back to south east under the administration of Gov-elect Chief Nyesom wike, Continue bringing hatred for your self..

Under the administration of former governor of rivers state Dr. Peter Odilli of Ndoni, you igbos organised a prayer for all ur igbo brothers to come together and pray, concerning there stay in port harcourt (ikwerre land) and other part of rivers state, that there is an evil plan to be carried out on the igbos in rivers state.

You were been invited to the state house of assembly for organising such a prayer with the concept of the state govt, which the so called Gov. Amaechi from ikwerre who have demolished thousands of ur shops, arrested most of you who tried to acquire ikwerre local govt identification because of our similarities in names, who claimed his igbo during buhari presidential campaign in abia state, because he knows how tribalistic you people are, was the speaker of rivers state house of assembly then.

Not only that, the ikwerre concil of elders summoned you igbos and asked you people to pay fine for organising such a prayer with out the concept of the ikwerre people who own the land you derive ur daily bread. just to name a few.

You igbos are group of confused people who have no direction, the most divided ethnic group in nigeria, you are so hated all over nigeria because of your silly attitude.

The ikwerres,ogbas,ekpeye,etche and Ndoni of rivers state are not members of your Ohaeze ndi igbo organisation i wounder why you idiots include us in your irritating igbo identity we dnt belong,

Below is a brief history of the ikwerre,ogba and ekpeye people of rivers state which the benin cultural heritage have confirmed it when they visited port harcourt (ikwerre land), Ogba and ekpeye you fools:

Chief N.M.T. Solomon (2004), native of Ikodu Ubie in Ekpeyeland, in
his narrative draws heavily from the now authenticated written
historical records delivered by various informed sources including
“Eketu (Weber) of Ubeta, assumed to have lived for over two hundred
(200) years as the oldest man in all Ekpeye, Ogba and Iwhnurọ hna (or
Ikwerre), at that time (and) was asked to narrate the history and
customs of Ekpeye people” as unfolded in his lifetime. Here is what he
said, which has been validated by the accounts of the current
generation through responses to our questionnaires and direct
interviews thereby increasing our level of confidence on the data:
Ekpeye, born in Benin, was the first of the three sons of Akalaka.
While in Ndoni, he married a second wife to gain the love and favour
of the people. The new wife gave birth to a son, which he named Ogba.
Akalaka was still in Ndoni when his first wife, the mother of Ekpeye,
gave birth to his third son called Ihruoha (Ikwerre) .


Proudly Ikwerre..

I was going to avoid the Ikwerre topic until I saw this wannabe post.

Abeg, just want to warn una. This is nothing but a Yoruba guy third multiple ID.

How do I know? When he first opened this ID, I asked him one simple question which a real Ikwerre would have known. It took this nigg@ nearly 30 mins to locate the answer and even then the answer he gave was wrong. I gave him another chance and he still failed the answer again and resulted to asking me to give him the correct answer
Here's the link and see what transpired b/w me and this wannabe
https://www.nairaland.com/1578450/not-biafrans-gov-amaechis-insults/25

Believe this guy at your own peril. I already know some SE Igbo will but know that when others suspected who this ID belongs, this Ikwerreboy account went comatose since 2014. Only to surface recently to start another Ikwerre vs. Igbo thread. Pathetically for him, that one was equally ignored. I guess he decided to seek attention on this one. So I am going to tell una, Ignore the ediot and like earlier, he'll rest this ID and go back to his original one or seek another way for attention. Who knows, you can never predict that pathetic, disgraceful tribe.

AndreUweh:
The OP listed Enuani. Aniocha is part of Enuani.

I didn't see the Enuani written up there. I had to double check.

Dalu for pointing that out.

I'm good now Good job OP

somegirl1:
Stick to areas you understand. Rivers is a state with several ethnic groups including Igbo groups - Ndoni, Etche and Igboid groups - Ikwerre.

You dey mind am that Yoruba buf00n. This is Ndoni/Etche, etc own LGA website written by the people from that part of the state.
http://ogbaegbemandonilga.gov.ng/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=93&Itemid=190

I truly envy river state in this jor. I wish the deltan government can do the same thing and allow each LGA to have a portion of the state's website in which they can write their origin, history, etc. I truly envy River state in this.

Nomswag:
abeg who no aniocha....minority......ukwani majority

see your mouth. See how you dey twist am to claim "majority".
I no blame you sef. I no blame you. Na OP I go blame.

Aniocha is well known cause you no go find any aniocha person wey be denier but the same can't be said about una ukwani people. We are more known than una.

iamrealdeji:
Insanity is what your problem is,you son of a prostitute,why would you have respect for any religion? If a muslim offers you help,pls just reject it,lunatic

martineverest:
What about 'IGBANKE' ppl of EDO STATE?

They are Ika. Igbanke are Ika people. Don't let the edo state fool you.

So OP you disregarded the best Igbo group, ANIOCHA?
You added Ukwuani but no Aniocha? You added Ika but no Aniocha? You added Ikwerre but no Aniocha?

Okay kwa

It's so funny I got 61 views on this but not one person can answer?

Seriously, all you IT nigg@s ain't looking for a job?

Imo people sssh. Mechionu. This is your change, you voted for change so stop crying.

All this APC state ppl keep disturbing the media on how hungry they are.
Wetin be dis? Taah imo state. Sharrup and Enjoy your "Change".

Hiah! I have respect for every religion but honestly, Islam needs to go. That's the worst religion on Earth.

Onila smoked something and was high when she made this thread.

Onila wetin u don smoke? Whatever e be, Abeg pass am

PerfectFortune:
In as much as you have a point and I understand what u'r driving at, they are two different situation.

It is one thing to say the resources or funds generated in Lagos belongs to all Nigerians and another to say you want to rule/take-over Lagos because it's a no-man's Land.

The oil rich region belongs to some people and they have their indegenes even though the resources belongs to all Nigerians. You don't expect a Yoruba man for instance to say he wants to rule/take-over Rivers State because it's a no-man's land; it doesn't work that way.

The Oil rich region/ppl of SS are even given special preference when it comes to employment and benefits from oil. While they even seek for more in terms shearing formular and others.

Imagine a Yoruba group leader in Imo or Enugu saying he wants to have the same recognition as their first class King like Obi of Onitsha.

Resources may belong to all but rulership belongs to the people of the region (Indegenes).

So why is it there's not one single SS with oil plots and right yet each oil plots in Nigeria either belongs to a Yoruba or Hausa. Those plots are in indigenous lands theregore, going by your logic should belong to ppl of those lands, not "foreigners" as you yoruba call it.
