Some parts of Imo State equally call money "Awai" and still use "wa" for go. That's Ohaji subgroup and then Uratta subgroup use "li" instead.

I will still maintain that the standard Southern and Northern urban Igbo lingos is the best thing to happen to us. Almost all Igbos understand them while a minor percentage cannot speak urban Igbo.

As for ethnicity Ikwerre isn't Igbo and Igbos should accept that we have no common front in politics or identity. The arguments should purely be about language and history.

jollyboyvic:
Am an ikwerre boy.. Full blooded ikwerre boy.. I know my history and origin.... Please igbos leave us alone..

You are not making any sense at all. Abiriba and Abam people call money okpogho instead of ego. Does that make them non IGBO.
Am sure you and your confused Ikwerre people will be the first people to travel to America if for instance President Trump permits free visas for Ndi Igbo to America.


We know who we are... I no that at the very beginning we didn't produce scholars who will tell and explain our origin and history to the world.. Yes we have similar language.. Our bia (come is your come) but our LA (GO is different from yours) our money..ewhyia is different . U call money ego... Our traditional believes are different from yours ...the way we dress our masquerade is very different from yours... Our cultural and traditional dance is different from yours... Our way of life is also different.. Our royal highness throne moves from family to family . But ur royal highness throne remains in one family.. We wear etibo... You wear different.... Yes we all wear red beads.. Red caps.. But we are different people. But still one love brings us together.. We loves ourselves.. Ikwerre marries igbo.. Igbo marries ikwerre. . An I even loves the way igbo women loves marring our men... Pls let's stop this argument.. We are all one.. BE you bayelsa.. Rivers state.. Akwa ibom.. Calabar.. Delta.. All the igbo states.. We are all one.. We wear the same red caps.. The same red beads.. The same culture and tradition..the same dressing patterns.. That's what makes us one.. That red and white caps.. Proves to us we are one.... Can't you see we all loves ourselves.. We are not afraid to visit any of our lands.. Because we know we must be welcomed.. Please stop the argument.. We are one..

pinkguy:
tribes around south east and south do not just hate igbo without reasons, after force some of this people to change their names and speak igbo, a good example is nsuka and ikwerre people. Why Do Igbos still try to force their identity on ikwerre people of river state but hate and reject nsuka people of enugu state maybe it because ikwerre are bless with oil and nsuka are not ,if ikwerre are igbo why do the take igbo property after the civil war ?

agbotaen:
1. when i defended the uniqueness of ika and the resolve of ika ethnic nation not to belong to any larger ethnicity such as benin or igbo , people were crying wolf.
2. ika people are very confident in our believe and thats why we have been able to make break throughs , i also said if power will come to anioma or delta north , it will be an ika man , i said that about 2 years ago and it has almost come to pass.
3. by the grace of oselobue and the ehi of ika nation , and our ighaigho and sakpamaghori , we will become the next gov of delta.

Pharoh:

It seems you have not grasped the concept of igboid languages, if not you will not be asking this daft questions that my five year old cousin will be ashamed to ask after the points i gave you in the previous pages.

Pharoh:

Thank you agboaten for this because this is what i have been trying to point out to them but they will not see it. How can someone say ukwuani is a dialect of a created igbo language when there are three major variations of the ukwuani language and slight variations across the clans in both ukwuani and aboh areas. It is that simple respect and recognition that is giving them problems but thank God that Ikas and Ndokwas are organised more than the over 40 million so called igbos.

Even look at the aniocha/oshimili guy that should tune in to our organization expertise in anioma and go on with their enuani language and identity but he wants to kill himself with the igbo identity. Well it is time we just leave these guys to their folly and pursue our destiny as we so wish, a lot is going on behind the scenes but they are just so ignorant.

You guys keep on talking about obi of asagba like he speaks for the whole anioma people, except monarchy in ukwuani land a king does not leave his domain for Christ sake to go and attend meaningless ohaneze meetings. We have our apex organization and just like ikas we are working hard to realize our destiny and forge ahead. Do they even know about the underground coalition to resurrect the midwest or bendel republic again?.

Like i said it is not productive to continue this discussion with you guys because you keep yapping about benin this and benin that but we keep on telling you that we are ikas and ndokwas but the explanation keeps flying off the window. So those who still wants to throw abuse about bini vagabonds can take over the thread for all i care.

1 shortblackboy: AGAIN ?!! So ikwerre people no fit Drink water drop cup abi ?

igbo boy: It is ill logic to say that the traditional ruler of a town has a bini name hence the people are bini..
Nobody can deny the influence of the Benin empire on the Western Igbos..

It is true if you look back some of the traditional rulers in delta state where either Bini or had Bini name.

Just like Luggard was the ruler of Nigeria and other oyibo people after him till we Nigeria got independece. The same way britain sent their people to Lord over conquered territories is no different the Bini sent their chiefs to Lord over conquered territories. So when you look at the history of some igbo town and you say that oh, the first ruler was Oba efe omorogie hence the people in the town are of Bini ancestry that shows that people like agboanten are ignorant...

The ruling elites were usually not from the town and those that were, tried their best to assimilate to the overall kingdom's way of life...

The first ruler of Nigeria was a british man, i guess we are british smh.

does not make sense to me that ika are from bini and now they have lost their bini way of life...

chux4liv: I'm "Ika" (from Umunede), when I read how Umunede kingdom was formed, the founding father was from Bini kingdom. Historical fact also portrayed how the Igbos came from riverine areas (onitsha and neigbhouring villages) to trade in Umunede, I guess that resulted to inter-ethnic marriages and similarities in language. (I guess this true becos it also happen between me and my siblings, we code-mix Yoruba language with our mother-tongue while communicating simply becos we were born and breed in Lagos).
The adopting of Igbo names among Ika people I believe was becos through Igbo, christianity was introduced in umunede Kingdom. Igbos name is more christian-like, compared to our native name (real Ika name) that is of bini gods/idol (osunbor, osemenim, oshimihin, idumuoba, ileje, isawe, egbetimeh etc).

Van snickers:

Why the desperation to claim People that are not willing as your tribesmen? He made a valid point.

@topic
I don't see why the Igbos want to claim the Ikwerres so badly. It's not by force. That's all.

eye4eye: If introduction of Yoruba Language as sole teaching language drives out Ibos out of our schools and SW in general, then I am all for it.
