Looking at that attire alone it is clear these peopke must have cultural ties to the Edo. Unless they recently adopted this attire. Also Ogba is an edoid sounding word is there any word like that in Igbo?

The attire is for the king alone. This is same in Delta Igbos. The king's attire is Benin influenced but the general public don't dress like that. Why are you not interested in his name and first language? Do you understand the criteria used in classifying ethnicities at all?

As for the name, why does it sound similar to Ogbaru in Anambra that shares boarders with it? Where are the Ogbas in Benin?

That is your own declaration

It is wishful thinking
That is an idea that appeals to your fantasies

IGBOSON1:


Dude, they speak IGBO....a dialect of the Igbo language, just like every other part of Alaigbo! I have no problem with them getting a epiphany after the uncivil war and declaring they're no more Igbo but now a 'distinct' ethnicity of their own! Like i said, to each his own! Goodluck to them!

What's your own ethnicity by the way? I'm from Ndoni....next door to Ogba!

If you're truly from Ndoni and say Ogba speak Igbo then you really need to get your head examined.
I'm a full blooded Omoku man and I can tell you for a fact that we don't speak it,but Ogba language

Ogene001:

They all speak igbo and bear igbo names, igbo market days, Igbo food, igbo everything. The so called oba was adopted recently. Also other Igbos in Rivers have Eze including Ekpeye

Can you or any other Igbo person understand Ekpeye language because they have Eze as their kings title?

Gajagojo:

You lack logical reasoning. You know nothing bro

AviatorMoney:

Can you or any other Igbo person understand Ekpeye language because they have Eze as their kings title?

Can you understand Ikwo in Ebonyi? Can ijaw understand each other's dialects? But can Ekpeye understand standardized igbo? The answer is yes

Ogene001:

If he is nze, Ozo, obi Tonye Pepple, and his first language is not igbo, definitely he is not igbo irrespective of title

The same way you should understand that, their language might be Igbo but they are d people of Rivers state irrespective of language

Ogene001:

Omoku is not Ogba. And atani is not the southernmost end of Ogbaru. Meanwhile you can tell us the distances

Please answer

You claim Omoku is not Ogbaland
Can you clarify?

Ogba dialect

Ogene001:

Ogba dialect

It is not a dialect

It is a language

AncientAlien:
Oba title still reach Port Harcourt?

Even omoku king in rivers state, na Oba

illicit:
So there's a Yoruba Kingdom in Rivers

Wow

Just wow

Ogba land are igbo and they have their own dialect

Ogene001:

Can you understand Ikwo in Ebonyi? Can ijaw understand each other's dialects? But can Ekpeye understand standardized igbo? The answer is yes

Ekpeye has no understanding of any Igbo, standardized or not. Unless they learnt it or live together. Avoid false information.
Have you live there or been there before?

IGBOSON1:


The whole of ONELGA is Ogbaru and should have been in Imo and Anambra states, but they were carved into Rivers state in 1967 owing to ethnic politics of oil and gas! Though it should also be pointed out that since the uncivil war, the Ogba now say they're not Igbo and come from Benin! Goodluck to them!

You are very correct

AviatorMoney:

The same way you should understand that, their language might be Igbo but they are d people of Rivers state irrespective of language

Their language is not Ibo
Their language is Ogba it belongs to a family of languages called Igboid
That means they are related but not dialects
Just like Spanish Italian,French and Portuguese are related and belong to a language Family called Romance because of origin in Rome/Latin.

The Igboid languages were studied and classified by Kay Williamson who also published several editions of a very important Ibo dictionary
She is the foremost linguistic authority on Ibo and Igboid languages

Thank you for that correction because nairalander stories isn't always complete

Armaggedon:
Pls don't misrepresent facts.

His name is Eze Ogba -Nwachukwu Nnam Obi III

Wike wanted to preach politics of godfatherism to him, he boldly told wike to let peace reign and allow fubara govern the state.

Post the video let us watch because those of us that saw it in the news know what happened.

fred04:

Ogba land are igbo and they have their own dialect

Why is their king called Oba

Ogene001:

I lived in ula upata. Ahoada. They have Eze Upata

So in all you stay in Igbu-Ehuda Logbo, you have the guts to say my people are naturally understanding Igbo if its not taught or learnt via hearing from people around them?
I can't believe this.

I am Igbo and I understand 100% the Ogba language. They speak unadulterated igbo language better than the Ngwa man in Abia State

In 1970 immediately after the civil war Chukwumela Nnam Obi went to Benin to collect Ada and Eben then came back to Ogba and declared his new title as Oba. Some youths unaware of this might think it was always his title.

Ogene001:

bro jst like d itsekiri and igala have some form of Yoruba in it, u don't see anyone calling them yorubas, same with d olukunmi people in delta they speak a language similar to d kabba people of Kogi, which is Yoruba ... Itsekiris numbering system is also d same as d Yorubas... if they say they ain't igbos then stop forcing them

Ogene001:

My own be say, ogba people are Igbos. They can borrow the title of their traditional rulers from anywhere and it doesn't change anything

They aren't Igbos and they have said so repeatedly.
You desperately want them to be Igbos so that you can steal their land and add it to your Biafra.
