Zooposki:


You guys stole their language and culture while migrating to core Igbo states.

Surely you should be intelligent enough to know a smaller group of people can't evolve a proto-language over the larger nucleus, simple maths and common sense should tell you that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts in the context of language evolution from a larger group of people relative to the subgroups.

Obalatule:
Na ika people that one concern, They should sort it out with their Edo brothers......I, a full blooded igbo citizen of the Nri clan reject any form of kinhood with Ika

Well nothing concern me too. Anything wey dem like make them be sha

UCyril:
Founded by Benin people but along the line igbos came and dominated them that's why their language changed to something similar to igbo. The igbo who came to ika then where not organized, they simply came for hunting, biz, farming or some who were barnished from their village in igboland. Benin kept their culture because they were organized coming from an organized society like Benin kingdom eg kingship, dressing and other traditions. The same thing happened in Bonny , they are ijaw but along the line igbos dominated them like the aro people , ndoki people and other igbo slave who did not have anywhere to go after the end of slave trade.

If this post is not ignorance ... then is careless

...... and na human being type this with crazy arrogance

Someone ran away from Benin came with his solders and colonize people staying their ,install kingship he learnt from Benin kingdom and continue rulling till date does not make everybody from the town from Benin...that is why he couldn't wipe out the name and language.....
When he came,didn't he met people there?

gidgiddy:


Then that means you dont speak Igbo, the Ika language is a dialect of Igbo. Nobody in Edo can understand Ika, but all Igbos understand Ika.

Oga its a capital lie

Benin understand little or more than Igbo when it comes to ika words

I have lived in obazagbon,otobaye and it environs in orhionmwon LGA

The language is a mixture of both edo words and possibly some Igbo element

The possibility for ika people to speak Benin is easier than Esan even

All ika people that have met as friend speak benin even when I was in Aliamen, boji boji owa,agbor ta and Agbobi the people understand Benin and speak it as if they have no other tongue

I will be going to Agbobi the first week of next month for the burial of my friends dad named Okoro Aiyudubie who also speak Benin

For me I think the ika people Edo blood

Obalatule:
Not igbo, I hardly understand when an ika person speaks......Edo people may understand it better

Which kind lie be this na

Ika speaks and understand central Igbo language and have either Igbo First name or last name..For Ika person to understand Bini,he has to learn it as a new language..

My friend nobody said the entire ika indegene are from Benin but the king has always been the focus

Since the king is the embodiment of his people then it's easy to said that the people are Benin

Obalatule:
I do not Understand Ika language as a full blooded Igbo, born and raised in Igbo land, If you understand their language maybe you share blood with them and have NO right to speak for igbos

Then that means that your grasp of Igbo is very bad. The first time I went to Agbor's main market, I understood what they said, although I had to listen more attentively because some of their words have different intonation. I understand Ika even more than I understand Abakiliki dialect. The video below is a girl speaking Ika language, every Igbo man will understand what the girl is saying, but no Edo or Bini man can understand her

People always have the ability to learn other language apart from theirs.

The process is not natural.

..that is because they learnt about kingship from Benin and came with it..
A typical igbo don't believe in a kingship
The original people may have ignored him not knowing he will have such power in future....
Permit me to say that less than 5% of them came from Benin if possible.....
They came from Benin but their personal names,village names etc says otherwise,how come?

By the way my grasp of Spoken and written IGBO is out of this world, we can switch this argument to written igbo texts and well punctuated igbo texts lets see who caves in first

What Nigeria did to igbos and continues to do to igbos Only God will judge this region

Wow…i understood 85% of what she’s saying. Though am from Imo state

Lol, that's their business. They can believe whatever they want to believe or even join Bini to form a country if they want, nobody cares! The Enuani part where Asaba falls is more important and their allegiance to the great Igbo race is not in question.

Igbo nation is too large to bother about some confused clans like ikwerre or ika, they're disposable abeg

ika people are made up of igbos, benin and igala people but igbos are the majority that is ika dialect is similar to igbo language.
