Anambra is next. I pity ipobs. They will weep and sorrow cos APC is taken over all the SE states.

Ipobs are criminals and terrorists chest beaters.

Shameless pigs and idiots.

Am sure that egbona is a corrupted version of ogbonna.most border communities in cross river can speak igbo and most border communities also in ebonyi can speak cross river dialects and some trace their history to cross river/cameroun area.a lot of communities in ebonyi were originally not igbos if you trace their history.years of interactions igbonized them

eg ikumoro part that's in between crossriver and Ebonyi

Osagyefo98:
Alex Egbonna sounds Igbotic though Efik.

Stop abusing others. The guy came up with facts. Bring out your own instead of insulting words. Shikena.

What exactly is the name of the language they speak

90% of Abia state and Ebonyi communities trace there his story to Cross River and Rivers state. That is why you see many igbos share names with the ikwerre in Rivers and that of Cross River state.

In the 17th century, there was nothing like igbo, all we had were ikwerre and those of Efik in cross River state.

My problem is that the igbos fail to trace there history that is why they find it difficult to develop there lstates.

There not efik.efik in cross river are located in 5 lgas of southern cross river.abi lga is in central cross river and are made up of two major ethnicities which are bahumono and agbo.the bahumono has 4 wards while the agbos have 6 wards.the agbos trace their origin to igboland and share boundary with ebonyi state.ekureku where alex is from is at the boundary with ebonyi.after ekureku,its aba-omege.there are a lot of igbos in ekureku,their dialect has a lot of igbotic influence.

Cross river has almost hundred ethnicities,efiks are few but because of education and early contact with the west,they quickly spread their language and culture.

Thank you for this education. I learnt something new today.

Shame to all those who give ethnic statistics in Nigeria. They are the real problems of the country. May they go into extinction that the country may move on.

Agbo-kohumono

is it different from Ubaghara –Kohumono?.. Thanks

Osagyefo98:
Abia state is now moving in the right direction. Congratulations to the APGA candidates.

Democracy fully in action.

Abia is about to become the most politically mature,diverse and sophisticated state.abia north is apc dominated,abia central dominated by apga and abia south by pdp.if not for araraume aligning with apc ,imo would have followed suit with orlu going for apc,okigwe apga and owerri pdp.we have a semblance of that in ondo

Yes but belong to the same family with some similarities.ubaghara-kohumono is my language abi dialect which is part of the ekoi ethnicity that is linguistically diverse

Meaning they are both dialects of one language?
Kohumono.. Not bad.. I am. Interested in this language, always though crossriver is strictly efik!.. How wrong?

Yes.cross river is not efik but their language is the most popular.more than half of the state speak it as a second language.my own villa also speak efik and sometimes igbo.
But indigenously,efiks are not many.there can be found in bakassi alongside several other ethnicities.they are also in akpabuyo but the akwa ibomites there outnumber them.there also in calabar south and municipality and odukpani which they shares with other ethnicities also.out of the 3 million people in cross river,there are not up to 500,000.most of the people you think are efiks are actually from akwa ibom.
The ekois should be more than the efiks but they dont have a common language and are not united.they are scattered

Don't mind the impostor whose stock in trade is to sow discord among Southerners. This imposter you quoted is fulani disguising as Igbo. Be mindful of him.

Your head the there.
All you said is 100% correct.
I'm Ekoi(Ejagham), many people do not even know that the Efiks are not many, all this people claiming efiks today are AkwaIbomites, especially in Calabar south lol,
I wish the Ejagham were united tho and had a common dialect, the dialects are about 6.
Ejaghams or Quas are located in Calabar Municipality, (they are the real owners of Calabar), Akampka, Ikom, Etung, and Ishibori in Ogoja.
When you hear of Obong of Calabar, its only for the Efiks not for all the Calabar people, the main king is the Ndidem of the Quas(Ejagham). Paramount ruler of Calabar Municipality.
