Lol. Sadly, he is not alone. Many Urhobo youths barely understand the language. Speaking it is even a different thing entirely.

We are working hard to undo the damage done to us by colonialism and negative attitudes towards our language.

Its a very common thing, even in core Urhobo areas.

Hopefully, we will rectify this anomaly. People are putting things in place to change the tide.

your own case go hard o

which UPU? The people that are after their pocket , not the interest of any Urhobo person. Take for example the Urhobo cultural centre in Agbarho, is that one a house or where they used to train pig? After billions of naira spend on it nothing to show for it.

Jamean:

I know

u have to learn central urhobo instead o

I advice any one that want to learn Urhobo to listen to the Urhobo radio station broadcast from UK

LKO:


Bros, are u an Uvwie man?

no, but have lived there for a very long time, so I know everything about them, the issue of uvwie is saddening.. I just hope our leaders comes up with solution to save the uvwie dialect.

baba abeq make una do something about it else one day, dem go only tok say "there was a tribe in Nigeria called Urhobo"

Any problem

We still have good percentage of urhobo speaking folks. u sounded like my beloved urhobo was gone totally. Efe speaks Hausa but can't speak urhobo, and u started blaming it on the urhobo youths go to core urhobo villages like, Okpara, okwagbe,kokori, ufuoma and see things for yourself ...Oshare, Joma'vwiyotor

Sanchez01:


Perfectly

In her words, 'now, I'm putting the (first) meats in the soup. They are all called assorted meats. I'll also add the beef. All the meats (beef+assorted) are all assorted. It's all good.' Oma brooku' (a slang and a way of saying I'm tired).

I still can't believe my ears. You know, I'm a typical Urhobo man if you take away the alcohol and excess love for women

that makes you more urhobo, why take it away

Na only miguo me sabi oooo.

NwamaziNwaAro:
Shame on Efe

He kept claiming Warri\Urhobo in the house
But all the dude speaks is

Hausa!!!

That's because Hausa is very easy to speak

BOMBEATZ:
Na only miguo me sabi oooo.

u better go learn am or I go sanction u o

Nicho118:
The town u mentioned is not an ukwuani speaking town na

I know that already. What I mean is that I can't speak ukwuani neither can I speak Urhobo despite staying in the town for some while

The (White?) lady seen speaking fluent impeccable Urhobo in the video is Nancy, she is mixed raced, spent the best part of her life growing up in Warri, Nigeria but was actually born in the UK. She is actively involved in Urhobo socio-cultural affairs here in the UK where she resides. She puts those who take pride in speaking pidgin English to the detriment of their mother tongue to shame. They do no justice to their cultural heritage at all. She is a joy to listen to and interact with at close quarters. She's as Urhobo and Nigerian/British as they come. By the way, she was married to a fellow Urhobo, a Nigerian.

Emo r'uvwie, mama yon r'emo ma obo r'u me j'uvwie. Uvwie General!!!. Ma rega gwa, abu'vwie, erun erun. Uvwie wado, Urhobo wado, Isoko wado. Nigeria wado. isi egware!

For a mixed breed. She looks too white though. So vwe wo hwo r'Uvwie. Me yererin O!

@Efewestern, the best way to a learn a language, especially your mother tongue, Uvwie (Urhobo)is to make a conscious effort at speaking, listening to and interacting with speakers of the language both young and old. With time, you'll become proficient and adept at speaking it to the extent that you'll probably be spicing up your words and sentences with proverbs and idioms learnt from seasoned speakers of Uvwie. The first step is always the most difficult but courageous one to take. Osonobrugwe dabo fio keye!

Meme omo r'uvwie, Urhumarho (Pop), Ugberikoko (Mum). The fairness of her skin has no connotation with anything. The dominant gene of her mother, a white woman (elementary biology and genetics) far outshone that of her recessive dad's gene. Her children look darker than her in the context of your observation.

thehedge:
that makes you more urhobo, why take it away

I don't do them. I see people stunned the moment they learn I'm Urhobo and I don't drink. It's almost like saying a particular fish doesn't swim. Lol.

I believe I am one of the very few who breaks away from what seems to be the norm.

Uvwie, Okpe, Jesse, Oghara, Mossoger, even some part of Agbon And Uwheru Urhobo sound like French to my Ear. I just can't stop loving Udu and Ughievwen Urhobo it sound like music to my ear even though am from Olomu kingdom and my Mum from Uwheru kingdom.
