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.
