Success1020:
OP you did a great job. I will add there are Igbo communities in Cross River, most popular being Ika. Go there and you will be shocked the amount of native Igbo people there.

Also there are Igbo communities in Bayelsa. The igbo communities in Bayelsa can be found in Osekwenike, Abuetor and Eke Okpokri villages, all in Sagbama area of bayelsa, they are Igbo of Ukwuani stock, and as such, are of the Anioma igbo clan of the Igbo ethnic group.

Abia also has large Ibibio communties. You cannot seperate Ibibio from Abia. In fact some Abia Igbos are more related to Ibibio in blood than Igbos, like the Abiriba people. Find the picture of Abiriba king, Eze Kalu and compare it to Governor Udom , you will think they are twins...same blood, same people, divided by useless borders

very true

NORSYK:
There are indigenous Igbos in Benue State particularly in Ado, Oju, Obi and Okpoku LGAs of Beneu state

Yes and they even complain that people don't make an effort to include them in Igbo matters

I reserve my Judgement on this because there are distortions.

But let me quickly correct this


4. Anambra State
Anambra is a state in southeastern Nigeria. Its name was inspired by one of its Northern and riverine clans Anam but merged with “branch”.

Language spoken: Igala and Igbo are the major languages of Anambra state



Please and please Igala is not a language in anambra state, let alone been a major language.

There is nothing like Igala language in anambra state pls.

Actually there is dear, some parts of anambra west speaks igalla. Mostly those bordering kogi

Mrexcell:
Nigeria is really a modern day tower of babel how can it ever unite with it's citizens speaking all these strange languages? No wonder there's no cohesion.

So because of this nonsense u quoted the whole passage?

Osagyefo98:
That's a pure lie from the pit of hell.

No such thing exist.

where is the lie?

Ignyte:
There is, my elder brother served in a locality in Anambra state called 'Nzam', we had to visit him every two months and to our surprise na Igala people we been dey ask for directions

There is nothing like Igala in anambra state pls.

Your brother served there and u visited and automatically u hearing Igala..

pls stop spreading lies.


Nothing like Igala in anambra state.

caprini1:
There are igbo speaking Kogites very close to Anambra,i was amazed when i went there.

Same way there are Igala speaking Anambarians.

Princess Stella Oduah, is off Igala ancestry

omenka:
There is NOWHERE in Benue state where Igbo is predominantly spoken. You guys should stop spreading inaccurate information.

You have a good number of them as traders in Otukpo, Makurdi, Gboko and parts of Gwer East. They arent indigenous to any part of Benue state.

they're native umuezekonna(Ezza) people in Benue who are 100% Igbo that should have been in Ebonyi that were included in Benue..I think that's where the igbos in Benue come from, you can verify..gracias

A good job indeed

I don't see my language here, we speak latin in my village.

Oga!!! Where in Benue? What part of Benue??

Osagyefo98:
Language is not tribe.


There are no Igbos in cross river and Bayelsa.

If there are such, prove it or let them come and say so.

what is language? what is tribe? before u answer read the topic of this thread again.

omenka:

obi, oju LGAs

Utonkon is a tribe in Benue, I know them 1st hand

Biafrannuke:
I pity who will take your write up serious

you just listed igala as a major language in Anambra. you even wrote it before Igbo.

listed ikwerre as a separate language from Igbo in Rivers. listed ika and ukwuani which are essentially Igbo dialects as separate from " Delta Igbo" but failed to note that egun is spoken in lagos. Also untonkon is a town in Benue not a language , their language is Igbo. The problem is that Nigerians grope proudly in institutionalized ignorance

This just shows that you don't even know your state enough. The part of Anambra state bordering Kogi State have people that speak Igala as their main language just like Enugu state.

murphyibiam15:
obi, oju LGAs

Where in Obi and Oju? I know both areas like the back of my palm! Where!!

Is it Ito? Obarike Ito? Okpowku? Uwokwu? Iprikwu? Ikachi? Ibila? Etc. Where?

I ready for una lies this night.

omenka:
Oga!!! Where in Benue? What part of Benue??

hope you know omenka is an igbo name?

Hahaha. o boy go sleep

which part of Enugu speaks idoma and igala?.this is my first time of hearing it.

BuhariAdvocate:
You’re a liar we are not speak Igbo or bearing Igbo name.

What are u driving at?

Igbanke people are of Igbo extraction in Edo , just like Delta Igbo and they speak Igbo fluently

They never deny their igboness.

They bear Igbo names...I remember NNAMDI ANAZIE (late) former head of Rythm FM sports in Lagos was from igbanke

Nobody told me , I visited there for a friend's wedding and I saw it first-hand
What other proof ?

Mr op, where you get this IGALA in Anambra state, abi are you from IGALA and wanted to do attach, please no place, area people or part speaks IGALA in Anambra state.

Ufedolove:
This just shows that you don't even know your state enough. The part of Anambra state bordering Kogi State have people that speak Igala as their main language just like Enugu state.

There is nothing of such.

Stop misleading the public.

There are no Igala in the state.

lomprico:

What makes Omenka an Igbo name? What makes you think Igbos arent the ones that borrowed it from us instead? What proof do you have Igbos were the first to bear it?

Una dey provoke me this night honestly.

Osagyefo98:

Ok sir. No be fighting matter

Faybaby:

I don't think such is hard to find.
When you have a state maintaining common boundaries with other states such is normal occurrence . Enugu has boundary with Kogi so there likelihood of tribal mixture and language infusion

Good job! However, you left out Egun of Badagry area of Lagos State and Ijaw of Ondo State

Faybaby:
which part of Enugu speaks idoma and igala?.this is my first time of hearing it.

Enugu Ezike speaks Igala. I don't know about Idoma

shamecurls:
Ikeja State not on the list.


Same with Ikoyi and Agege State

And English is spoken in all the states of Nigeria
It is the official language used in school, waec, jamb. ..

UrVillagePpl:
