You are not well exposed. How can you be comparing the entire SE of 90 plus LGA with Etche of just 2 LGAs( Etche and Omuma) ?

SE isn't a homogeneous zone. We are made of different Igbo clans and each clan have their own way of greeting.

Ngwa people greet " Maazi", Bende people greet "Jokwa", Okigwe and environment greet " Awuna/Awulaa", Nkanu greet "Deeyo", Anambra central use " Daalu", Ezza use " Tokwehu", Aro say "Mma mma" etc.

There are like tens of other specific greetings depending on part of SE one comes from.

So when an Etche man from 2 LGA ethnic group suffering from identity crises decides to group all Igbo groups in SE together and start comparing us with his new 2 LGA ethnic group, it can get annoying.

Onye Nkuzi, if you go down you would see where I made reference to a proverb that summed all you have said. The person I was talking to wouldn't understand any of this since he isn't Igbo, , I learnt all these a long time ago. Anyway, Iime be kanka.

Now you've shed more light and it makes sense.
I'm was only aware that the riverine refer to upland as agbaenu and upland to reverine as mbammili.
