Ohaobu, Mkpukpuaja and Ogbuagu.

Ah okay. I get it. Addressing the credibility of the source (or the lack thereof). Practical.

It was a mistake, I meant to write Southwest of Akwa-ibom.

No, there are no Aro people in Akwa-ibom north.
But we have Ndoki towns in SW of Akwa-ibom.

pazienza:
There are no Igbo towns in the northern parts of Akwa-ibom. The Igbo towns in Akwa Ibom are found in the South Eastern parts of Akwa-ibom, in Ukuanafun and Ika LGAs of the state.

The map is obviously wrong.

I can list all the town's in Ebonyi state Abia and Enugu state, then you and whoever that drew that map can then tell me which one of the towns sound remotely anything other than Igbo.

ChinenyeN:
I can't speak for those other maps, but being a native of the region administratively called 'Abia' and also knowing the location of my hometown as well as being well-versed in my people's oral traditions, I can say with certainty that the demographic being represented by the Abia map is categorically incorrect.

For the record, my hometown falls in the region being demarcated on this map as 'Ibibio'.

Nothing much can be achieved if Ndiigbo remain part of Nigeria, that boundary adjustment is never going to happen. Realists know this.

Btw, nice map. Can you give me the link to that map.

It's more common than in whites, but not much more common. First, Albinism in whites can often be concealed by makeup, hair dye etc. Second, certain gene alleles that are associated with Albinism in Black people are considered normal for whites and don't count as Albinism in them. One could even say that all whites are actually suffering from a particular type of Albinism.


But they are disabled. They cannot do some things that others take for granted - walking with unprotected skin under the hot African sun, for example. This is the very definition of a disabled person - one who cannot do some things that others take for granted.

Wale Oyejide is as bold as they come. The Nigerian-born fashion revolutionist is the founder of the authentic menswear brand Ikire Jones, a Philadelphia based menswear brand, dedicated to making carefully tailored West African inspired clothing. After finding that there was a void in the menswear industry, Oyéjidé took matters into his own hands. He began creating clothing for secure, forward-thinking men who wanted to rock an original style.

Oyéjidé’s unique clothing line reflects his own cultural make-up. Half of Ikire Jones is named for his father’s village in Nigeria, while the other half is named for his American wife’s maiden name. The fabric choice is wax cotton, a traditional choice for African clothing. The line, made up mostly of vibrantly colored jackets is for the bold and brave only.

I want you to consider this: why does the occurrence of the gw, gh and kw consonants disappear gradually as one moves away from the east towards the west? Why are these consonants nearly absent on the extreme western flank of the Igbo to Yoruba continuum? Can you imagine this from a vantage point of view?

Those consonants you mentioned as present in Okun and Owo dialects are however not considered in the official Yoruba alphabet. Those consonants may have most likely been adopted by the speakers from neighbouring non-yoruba dialects that had them. Or better still, the consonants were dropped as early proto-yoruba speakers expanded and migrated westwards between the 8th and 10th centuries.

Unbelievable why is this even a topic, black people are sometimes their own worst enemy. Why would anyone believe this B.S
