macof: Logically speaking, if a Yoruba child learns English first as a child and Yoruba later as an adult, English is/was that child's native language and Yoruba a second language. Now if that child picks up Pidgin language as a teenager (as most Nigerians do) before Yoruba, Pidgin is her second language and Yoruba third language. Same applies to an Igbo or Bini child. Logic does not take into account emotions. It is what it is. 2 Likes |

Ugbodu history has been revisited. Previously, it was 'a town founded by Akure settlers which later got invaded by Igbo speakers or adopted Igbo because of Igbo business men who migrated to the town to settle'. Now, the revised history by the Ugbodus: it was an originally Igbo town where Yorubas from Akure settled. History http://ugboduanioma..com/2018/04/the-olukumiodiani-clan.html For long, Igbo history has been told in reverse or from the viewpoint of the descendants of refugees who settled in Igboland many years ago (from Igala, Edo, Idoma, Yoruba lands etc) rather than from the standpoint of the aboriginals. More truth unfolding. 2 Likes

bigfrancis21:sorry this is wrong. At least based on the Nigerian system First language remains the ethnic language not any foreign language regardless of the level of influence from said foreign language |

darfay:He never claimed the language was dead. He stated that it is a second language now and it's dying which is true. I too have met one of them; actually a whole family and their names were all Igbo names. I only got to know about them because of my high curiosity otherwise, other neighbours and even my family members never knew anything about 'Olukumis'. So far, it appears the language is steadily on the decline and only Ugbodu still try to cling to it. 1 Like |

macof: Actually, he is right. In my secondary school in Enugu, we had Igbo for L1 people and Igbo for L2 speakers. L1 speakers are those for whom Igbo is a first language and L2 speakers are people for whom Igbo is a second language. Those in the L2 Igbo class were still predominantly Igbo people, but who were raised outside the southeast and learnt another language (often English) before learning Igbo. Linguistically speaking, Igbo is their second language, and that was how the education system recognised them , even though they are ethnic Igbo. That is technically the way it is, regardless of whether you are in Nigeria or America. You can't logically say Igbo or Yoruba or Efik is the first language of a man who can't speak the language, just because he happens to belong to those groups by ethnic pedigree. 4 Likes 1 Share |

RedboneSmith: I am aware this is the system in many areas of the world where linguistic diversity and colonisation is less of an issue but as my impression has always been that in Nigeria if for example you are Igbo, Igbo is your native language no questions, a shift in this from one Nigerian language to another is an assimilation and adoption into another ethnicity Your school experience is however interesting, we didn't have that in school and I remember helping out a few of my igbo friends with their Yoruba assignments because they started with almost no knowledge of yoruba |

We are experiencing an African renaissance in which the emerging nation of Biafra will solidify as people from the same value system- Igala, Idoma, Efik, Igbo, Ijaw, Ibibio, etc., are now seeing what the British saw, that they are an able people..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpe-lGWH3AM 1 Like |

Akpanya is a community under Igalamela/Odolu L.G.A of Kogi State. Being a border town between Kogi and Enugu States (Kogi is circled in blue in the map above), it’s so far away from its Local Government Secretariat which is located at Ajaka and very close to Igbesa South and Igbesa North Local Government areas in Enugu state. The community is made up of about 6000 Muslims, living in the Christian majority community – about 95% of the community are Ibos (Igbo and Hausa languages are commonly spoken). The Igbo Muslim community of Akpanya are not originally from the village, but made “hijrah” to the community after their ancestors converted to Islam. They have a very long history in the Akpanya community and are fully integrated into the community and its life.The Akpanya village is a very remote village that seem to enjoy nothing from the government in terms of provision of infrastructure- no good roads, no drinking water, no electricity, no good schools and no hospitals. These Igbo Muslims of Akpanya have for time immemorial been mainly petty traders except for few among the younger generation now that are drivers in different companies and organizations, they survive on little, yet they tasked themselves to work extra for the purpose of making sure that their faith is maintained by building a Mosque which is used up to today as their one and only Central Mosque. #Copied 3 Likes |

oglalasioux:English is in fact a Germanic Language. Just like Frisian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, etc. Movement of people create new dialects that over time can evolve into different but related languages in some cases. 1 Like |

thrasy:How is Olukumi Ibo language ? What does Oluku means in Ibo language ? Wallahi some of you Ibo people are just weird . For your information, Olukumi language is still intact even if some words becomes loaned from Ibo language and still intelligible with other dialects within Edekiri. And I am sure Edekiri is a word which has no link with Ibo language. Below Screenshot speaks more about it. Cheers
