Vinnie2000: Nobody is forcing anybody. They can claim not to be igbo but what they speak is Igbo. You mustn't be Igbo to speak Igbo. When I was still watching NTA Asaba those days, I no dey see Ika, Ukwuani or whatever in their local news translation just Igbo, Urhobo, Isoko, Ijaw and Istekiri. The state government doesn't even recognize them as a distinct language so rest. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Vinnie2000:Anioma is an acronym for 1. Aniocha 2. Ndokwa(Ukwani is part of the old Ndokwa) 3. Ika 4. Oshimili OMA was added to make it sound meaningful in Igbo language.. What this means is that Anioma is not a tribe, language or dialect. What most people have in mind when they speak of Anioma is Aniocha/Oshimili.. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Albert0011: BOOM!! Wat I have been saying since the beginning of dis thread.. Am a Deltan but some persons commenting abt dis issue are not.. Super Eagles Ex Captain Sunday Oliseh(dat name is likely Ukwuani/Kwale) Boldly stated recently dat He is NOT Igbo n does not being addressed as Delta Igbo!! Dorathy of BBNaija calls herself Delta Igbo n Ikas were very Angry@her!!.. . As I have said earlier, D Ndokwas/Ikas have stuck to dier guns that they re NOT Igbo n don't even like being cald Delta Igbo!! It is Aniocha Oshimili pple (Asaba, Issele-ukwu) that doesn't mind.(because of dier closeness to Onitsha..) So let's end d arguments..D tribes are Igbo-related or Igbo descendants but have Carved a Niche for demselves hence u hear titles such as Dein of Agbor... thank you!! |

Vinnie2000:U re right bro The aniocha's and oshimili peeps have more cultural ties with the south east Igbo's. U can't even differentiate it when someone is speaking aniocha and Igbo language's Sunday Oliseh is from Ebedei in ukwuani LGA. Thanks bro. 1 Like |

Vinnie2000:To get it well for you, people from Ukwuani LGA are divided on the Igbo issues (Maybe 40:60) but people from Ndokwa East and West (who also speak like people in Ukwuani LGA) would tell you they are Igbo... Nwayiogwashi, the foremost and most respected nairalander from that region will break your head if you tell her she is not Igbo... but people from Ukwuani LGA differ on this.. But they are all called NDOKWA because that is the name of the old administrative district or LGA where these 3 LGAs are carved from. Yeah, you are right no controversies in Enuani at all... All the controversies arose after the civil war, It is even recently that Igbos in Cross-Rivers, Benue and Kogi state are coming out to be counted as part of the Igbo nation before they were so under the radar that they seem almost non-existent. However, all these do not matter in this case since we are talking about language. They all speak Igbo dialect, which is the technical linguistic classification.. Igbo is the language, however, politically or ethnically they can choose to be distinct. 1 Like |
