What about 'IGBANKE' ppl of EDO STATE?

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

What are you on about?
There are full Igbo bibles. Always have been.
My gran owned one.

Because you don't know your problem is the biggest problem in life. Go and ask your pastor, the content of ibo bible.

Ara is thunder nobody really goes by that name but hey im just trying to clarify something so people wont misinterpret words

Not true
I've met many Araoluwas.
I still find it weird referring to them as something I know means madness.
Btw I'm pretty sure Igbo meant something else in yoruba before it was accepted as the translation for weed. Perhaps, it was the name of a plant. Unless you have always had marijuana where you come from.

pls add igbanke in edo state, pls remove the term igboid, all languages and dialects borrows from other languages so no need emphasizing it. remember okwu mbite is a compulsory branch of study in igbo language while in school.

Ukwuani is not exactly igboid. There are elements of Yoruba and Edo contained therein.

You're re-enacting the same undocumented claims that Ukwuani people originated from early Benin immigrants. The same is also said of Agbor, formerly under Bendel. The op is right, they're igboid. Listen to them speak

Igbo in yoruba means weed...so why dont change the spelling of igbo(dialect) to ibo

The intonation is different. There is no such word as "Ibo" in the Igbo language.

I speak and understand ukwauani language fluently. Der is no element of Edo or yoruba der. Ukwuani language is like turning igbo upside down. Infact an igboman can understand d language if u listen attentively
