hey thats true ooo i am not claiming confusion here ok....am just telling people to stop look at igala tribe as one muslim tribe...ok..the problem with igala is our history is being over shadowed by the islamic identity they put in front of them...its bad....you can see an igalan bearing two muslim names..its bad...why cant u put ur igala name in d middle....see how many igalans know their dress mode the achi dress..but idomas always fly their black n red colour any day anytime....

so cool down...

Allow me bump an old thread. I thought Igala was evenly split between Muslims and Christians?

Do Itsekiri people claim origin from both Oduduwa and Ile-Ife?

Eke40seven:
These names are peculiar to Abians too, particularly the Bendes, Ohafia areas:
For females:
Uzoaru (Uzo aro), Orjiugo, Ugbalu (ogbei alu), Oyidiya (sounds more like 'Oyidiye' in the local dialect), Ori (Oriaku), Ucha, Nkediya, etc.

Males:
Anyaele, Ugorji, Ndukwo (Ndukwe), Iheke, Ejere, Ogbu, Ogburu, Uguru, Igwo (igwho), Eke, Oko (okobuo), Eme, ( I don't know if the full name is Emenike), Mbada, onyehara, Lekwuwa, Chukwu (notice, nothing attached), Onwuchekwa, Onwuka, Okai, etc...

Do you know if these names are exclusive to these clans/regions/sub groups?

I know one family from Nnewi who answer that surname so I dunno about that one.

Okai sounds eastern Igbo to the core though.

ipobarecriminals:

Commot.

agadez007:
i though Imo suppose to be Okoroafor and not okafor

You could say the same about Iheanyi vs. Ifeanyi. I also know an Ifeanyi from Mbaise. That's the effect of dialect levelling in Igboland.

agadez007:
Okonkwo,Okeke,okoye,Okafor,whenever i see these names i know for sure the bearer is Anambra,though i have seen an Okafor from Imo state once,i was suprised

Yeah. I knew one Okafor from Nkwerre where I stayed in Awka last year.

aljharem:
when I used Yoruba I meant oodua and yes they are oodua as of today

Whatever you say.

aljharem:
I never claim itsekiri

You just said Itsekiri people are Yoruba as of today.

laudate:
I reject the offer. I am not a Biafran.

Really? You could've fooled me.

AtaniWarrior:
Makes sense. I was told Okonkwo is more common in Imo State than Okoronkwo and people that answered Okoronkwo in Imo State were originally from Abia and Ebonyi States. I had doubts about that though.

I have doubts too considering Abia and Ebonyi were both carved out of Imo State.

LastMumu:
If you had to take only one out of the two, which would you go for?

I answered already but anu ewu.

AtaniWarrior:
Does anyone know the answer? lol

I'd say so.

laudate:
Hehehe.... watch how some revisionists will descend in here, to forcefully ascribe a mono-Igbo identity to those Ika communities, especially those hosting the Esan and Bini people you mentioned.

No one's done that so far.

laudate:
Babe, people who vex so easily like you do are liable to develop hypertension at a young age, o. Haven't you read the Surgeon-General's warning? And I thought you were a Christian? Which one is Amadioha inside this yah post again? May God have mercy on your soul! Oya, say Amen....

Your hebephrenic ramblings crack me up. You don't think it's creepy to call one random person babe, hm? Is that how you woowed nwanne nwanyi into bed?

Ngozi123:
Who started talking about whom in this thread first? Me or you? There's no point in me 'monitoring your posts all over Nairaland' as I usually find you secreting your venom in Igbo related threads anyway.



Arrant nonsense.



Like I said, who first started talking about whom in this thread? Me or you? The answer to this question should answer the bolded for you.

Just ignore him.

Ersan:
Attention is what she wants.

I agree after going through some of her posts. One small pikin who's yet to sit JAMB

ewa26:
right ewedu na wetin dey serve at owambe and e ought to be very green ok means no ketchup or anytin else that wee transfer jollofy colouring but you can and should add ketchup to gbegiri ok

I see. And that's why you added palm oil?

Inbox me if you wanna talk mental health. You won't get the replies you need on Nairaland.

achieverme:
Yes you are right. Use of condom is a sin.

What is this one saying?

free2ryhme:
Church will never take anybody to heaven.

God is more concern about your soul than your church

Kpomkwem, Frankie. Kpomkwem.

I'm cool with either but the bones put me off Point and Kill. I'll still take either with agidi and a beer

abdulmalik3:
they are the one that put poison in their food?

Don't mind him.

Choi.

aljharem:
History has it that binis esan were all yorubas so if they now want to go their own way, they should leave others out of it. Itsekiri, awori, ilaje, akoko, tax are all yorubas as of today.

you wan claim Itsekiri now? O di egwu.

9jakool:
Don't worry, you have little to worry about. I thought you were Yoruba from the way you have conducted yourself. People who contribute to the development of Yoruba are welcome.

He hides under the cloak of an anonymous ethnic group. No one knows what he is.

ewa26:
em sweet corn in NIGERIAN jollof rice, ina pu ara stew that's 80% shaki, bush man you can't cook

Jellof rice goes down better with sweet corn than vinegar and ogili.

Keep showcasing your own poison ewa. Just stay irrelevant and keep your trolling to yourself. You're not funny.

How yesterday's rice went down. With stew cause I've got trust issues.

aljharem:
Thank God your mother understands Yoruba, so why is she not Yoruba. Is bini not Yoruba ?

I also understand Yoruba because of the dialect. Tell your mother to go back to her root, ifa, sango, ogun etc

We are Yoruba as far as Yoruba minorities are concern. It is a privilege and an honour to be Yoruba and not any other group. Ask any awori, ilaje etc

Itsekires have paid visit to ile ife. How more binis. Tell her to find her root

Where are you from?

WushuTemple:
Are people still this ignorant?

Is he lying though?

makydebbie:
Made fried rice with sauce, salad and chicken.

How much frying did you actually do?

Wait till laudate enters this thread. I'm ready for part 2.
