I don’t know if we even have Niger Delta people on Nairaland. The Igbos have been claiming all your cities since 1900, and yet you guys always remain silent when they try saying they dominate everywhere.

They will say they part of the majority in Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, but not of you indigenous guys give rebuttal to all these statements.

The earlier you guys start taking hold of your cities and projecting your tribesmen identity the better for ya’ll.

lol see this one lol Niger delta are igbo igbo are Niger delta we are all brothers lol pls face ur own and leave Niger delta alone lol people hate to see south south and south east united

bigfrancis21:

Which of the 3 languages is more spoken by all 3 groups?

Idoma is generally accepted in the whole town followed by igala n igbo.

Sussan1:
He did not list Igala before igbo, check well

you're the one who needs to check well. He edited it. Check those who quoted the post earlier.

Ette speak Igbo and Ekpotor

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

They are found in Ibaji and Igalamela LGAs of kogi. Those in Igalamela are Ugwaka Ola, Avurugo and Akpanya axis were carved out of Nsụka into Kogi.

PeaceNexus:
Thats a great job. Igbanke people in Edo state speak Igbo. They answer Igbo names too

Igbanke people speak 'ika'. Ika is like a cousin to igbo.

And for the records ighara is never a major language in edo state, its not even spoken in edo

jk200:

You said that you're from Ette?
I know that they speak Igbo and Ekpotor. Typically is Ekpotor Igala or Idoma?

Psalm2423:


It’s actually Ika, not Igbo.

THERE is no language like ekpotor in ette.

let me explain how the language is being spoken in ette.

Those that are close to full igbo town speaks igbo wawa nd those who dwell at d central part speaks idoma. Those close to igala people of kogi speaks igala.

Our own idoma is quiet different from the one that benue people speaks. Idoma language of benue people is quiet deeper than ours.

bigfrancis21:


I'm just curious, how do these Igala/Idoma traders communicate with the natives of Enugu Ezike when they want to conduct trade?

I hope you know that Language is not a barrier in trade?
Pidgin english has made all infomal settings much easier.
Also the idoma traders may hear a little igbo(or even perfect igbo) and vise versa.
Let me add that my people and other nearby communities are not bi-lingual even though we are almost at the border with benue.

Don't make me doubt that you are not from there.
To start with, Ette is not contiguous to Benue nor Kogi state. Its in heart of Enugwu Ezike.
Their language is called Ekpotor by their neighbours. Ekpotor could be Idoma or Igala but I don't know whence my question.

You can doubt me but am full blood ette indigene. i can even give u my home address if you want it. ette is not far from Enugwu ezike and it shares border with kogi state. The late governor Audu of Kogi state has a house in ette. His mum is from igala speaking side of ette . Few years ago, there was a community clash in ette because some people wants to secede to Kogi state while some repel d idea. It leads to community clash.

OROSUNBOLB:


Op please make necessary correction now! Enugu speak Yoruba ,Fula and Igbo.

[/s]

YungMillionaire:


Sister you are wrong. Igbanke are 100% Igbo.

which can 100% igbo?they mostly speak ika

There are Igala in Anambra State. If you don't know know it from today. Infact the Oil parts of Anambra State is predominantly Igala speaking forget the fight for lands nwoke.

98% Igbo (Majority), 2% Igala (minority) take them along.

Bobbybob:

That's a sinking lie from the pit of hell.
My village and Enugu Ezike both happen to be border communities. Infact idoma/igala traders trek into our villages on market days and vice versa.

However, WE SPEAK ONLY IGBO. wawa subdialect

you are one of the few sensibile Igbo in the whole world, forgive me if i am a bit harsh but your people here, trying to claim other people are not trying at all. imagine them claim there are indegenous Igbo in Benue and Kogi!

but why do these people like claiming others? could this also be one of the reasons they get killed in South Africa? and now, they have started claiming Akwa Ibom and Edo! maybe Ile Ife and Sokoto would be the next places they would claim have indegenous Igbo

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

Bro, utonkon's language is ufia, not igbo pls

PHIPEX:
Stop mis-informing the public by using the word most. There is only 2 communities in Anambra west where Igala and Igbo are spoken. The rest speak 100% Igbo. Anambra west has about 15 communities and Igala can be heard in 2, how does 2 become most out of 15? Who told you they can choose to be called any of Igbo or Igala?

There are 15 communities in Anambra West : NZAM( one community) and OLUMBANASA( 7 communities) speak IGALA while ANAM( 7 communities) speaks IGBO.

Biafrannuke:
There is a community in Ika LGA where Igbo is spoken in Akwa ibom.

Ika is a border LGA with the Abia state and they have been figniting wars since time immemorial. Need I put it that the Igbo along that path are scared of them.

What I'm sure of is that during border adjustment, there were some part of Akwa Ibom that was given to Abia and some part of Abia came into Akwa Ibom too. When the oil boom occurred there were "rumours" from unofficial sources that the Igbo side schemed to be put into Akwa Ibom, it's still a raging issue cos I know some people who are Akwa Ibomites but their land fell into the Igbo side. This was also helped by a kingship tussle to nullify the other.

Also note that Arochukwu was an Ibibio territory, you can check up on the history.

Biafrannuke:
actually there are no indigenous Ibibios in arochukwu rather a lot of them are bilingual. They speak Igbo and Ibibio.

Arochukwu began as an Ibibio town, there was a kingship tussle and due to intermarriage and power struggle, the Igbo's schemed themselves to take over the town. The history is not hidden.

YungMillionaire:


You are wrong. Akwa - Ibom has a very significant indigenous Igbo population. Some of these Igbos predate even Ibibios in terms of origin.

You lie. The Igbo's are mostly those from Arochukwu and the town Arochukwu was originally an Ibibio land.

Apoi is an ijaw faction. Then Idanre, Ondo and Owo speak almost the same dialect with few variant words that differentiate them.


28. Ondo State
Ondo or Ondo State is a state in Nigeria created on 3 February 1976 from the former Western State. It originally included what is now Ekiti State, which was split off in 1996. Akure is the state capital.
Language spoken: The State is dominated by Yorubas who speak various dialects of the Yoruba language such as the Akoko, Akure, Apoi, Idanre, Ikale, Ilaje, Ondo and the Owo and a minority speaking the Ijaw Language.
