EXACTLY ...my brother


Nnewi Axis have this dialect that people dont know...it is thick and it is spoken from Igbo ukwu Amichi, Awka Etiti, Ichida, Orsumeanyi and Utuh ..If you are from anambra you will know this axis


I know that it is going extinct and to be honest I cant speak it, not that i dont want but i dont know how to and most old folks are dying and they know how to spaek it...we just speak the ordinary anambra igbo but that is pathetic

but mind you we speak almost like orlu/orsu region not same

we used to say

o nge for ogine
nwehi for ugbua

etc

bigfrancis21:
I have a brother from another mother from Nnewi and he tells me that the original Nnewi dialect is quite thick and is commonly heard only amongst the elderly. That only the older folks can speak the original Nnewi dialect and that the younger generation speak the general anambra dialect, with some southern Igbo words here and there.

I remember one Nnewi word 'fondua', but I don't remember again what it means. grin

Its only you and bigfrancis21 can know this ..pls my area in anambra the igbo ukwu, amichi, osumenyi.ukpo and those nnewi zones have different dialects but to a non anambra they will think it is the common anambra but we from that zone (Nnewi South) have a peculiar way of speaking kind of dragging and sing song anambra dialect..it sounds like they are dragging igbo and singing it..though it is going extinct only old people can speak my village and igbo ukwu dialect fluently we the young ones speak the common anambra language

if you have heard a typical igbo ukwu, ichida, amichi and osumenyi dude speak....what dialect is that

Radoillo:
The traditions that I am familiar with say that the Ugwuta people were part of the Umuezechime migration from Benin (or Agbor) through the Aniocha area of Delta to Onitsha. After the leader of the Ugwuta group lost the leadership tussle to Chimaefi, leader of the Onitsha group, the Ugwuta group decided to leave Onitsha to the present site of Ugwuta.

This, at least, is what the tradition relates. There may be other traditions that tell the story differently, but I haven't yet encountered them.

I have my reservations about this Aniocha-to-Onitsha-to-Ugwuta traditions however, especially because Ugwuta dialect doesn't sound quite like Onitsha-Aniocha, but sounds almost exactly like what you would hear in the Ukwuani-Aboh-Ndoni area. This suggests to me that the ancestors of the Ugwuta people probably came from that area - the Ukwuani-Aboh area. In some of my discussions with Abagworo (who I believe to be from the Ugwuta area) I said - and I think he agreed - that Ugwuta is basically an Ukwuani dialect. The same is true for Ndoni. In a sense, Ndoni and Ugwuta could be said to be 'Ndokwa' communities on the other side of the Niger River.

FamilyFather Arrested For Sleeping With His Daughters & Nieces In Oyo by tonychristopher(op): 9:05am On Jun 02, 2015
Tajudeen Awoniyi, a herbalist residing in Oyo state has been arrested by men of the Oyo state police command for repeatedly having sex with two of his daughters and two of his nieces all aged 14, 15, 15 and 17 at his residence in Akinyele Local Government area in Oyo state.

While being paraded today at the state police headquarters in Eleyele, Ibadan, Tajudeen denied the allegations but his denial was countered by the statements made against him by the young ladies.



While recounting how he molested her, one of his nieces said ;
"On that fateful day, his daughters came to our house and wanted us to follow them to their place. On getting there, her father told us he would give us soap by mid night which we must use to bathe. Around 1:00am he woke me up, gave me a black soap and asked me to go and take my bath. After taking my bath, I went to him and he placed something under his tongue and asked me to sleep on a bench. He had sex with me. Afterwards, I was bleeding and he asked me to go to bed. By morning, he sent my sister and me out of his house.”

PoliticsKidnappers Den In Ibadan Uncovered, Fake Currency Notes, Cars Found by tonychristopher(op): 8:59am On Jun 02, 2015
The police in Oyo state yesterday June 1st uncovered a shrine where fake currencies(pounds, euros, dollars) are produced in Isase, Ojoku, in Ona Ara Local Government Area of the state. The state commissioner of Police, Mohammed Katsina while taking pressmen on an inspection of the area, said the the den was discovered through intelligence gathering. Fake currencies, including Euros, Pounds, Dollars as well as fetish things(charms, statues, cowries) were discovered in the place. Also cars including two Toyota Camry and a Nissan Almera were discovered at the shrine. See the photos after the cut..

When interrogated, one of the suspects apprehended, 43 year old Ismail Adesina, who says he is a herbalist, denied being involved in kidnapping or ritual activities but says he and his other members who are currently at large, are involved in producing fake currencies. He said he and his gang members deceived their victims and extorted money from them.

"I am a herbalist and I inherited the skill from my father. I am also a conman. I cured diabetes, barrenness, blindness and other ailments. I have cured many people. My partner, who escaped yesterday, knows how the currencies were produced. Taju and Wasiu are my other partners. We have been here for about four years. We collected varying sums of money from our victims but we do not kidnap people. We bought the land in the bush and built the houses. I am a native of Beyerunka in Ibadan. The names of our victims are with my partners. We have deceived up to five persons, comprising four men and one woman. The woman came to us because she was barren. We asked her to bring N150,000 or N200,000. We built this place ourselves. We do the work of Babalawo here. Our clients used to come from as far as Abuja. I hail from Beyerunka, Ibadan. My father was a Babalawo. But my father was not a fraudster like me. The owners of the cars are our partners that usually bring customers to us. My wife divorced me and went away with the two kids she had for me. She left me about two years ago because she asked me for money and I did not have. I have been into this business before the divorce issue came in.”he said

My brother you asked a very good question, in igbo land we migrated from some areas, I am an anambra man but my grand father told me that we migrated from some part in imo state, u know why i used ndokwa is that i wanted the ukwuani to understand that they speak the same igbo dialect with some part of imo state especially uguta 1 and 2 which includes egbuoma and which is few minutes drive from owerri. I am owerri born boy married an ukwuani woman and i have uguta friend even my kid brother wife is from uguta 1

now when i talk i talk with fact...most villages that have names around places have origin from those places..take a look okuzu in ukwuani they are from awkuzu in present day anambra, but there are execption to this rule like port harchourt...that doesnt mean that they are from England but they have English influence so was Benin empire, they had many influence in some parts of igbo land, mind you noyt all. these influences is in periphereal part of igbo land so for you have umudei ..that means that the village is the children of dei and must have migrated from present day delta igbo and delta igbo havingg benin inflence must have carried some of their nuances and culture with them when migrating...never you under estimate the power of colonialism so the term iyasara came into been suh like we have ichafu for head scaff in igbo land...but ichafu is not an igbo word it is from european word meaning la chiffon a kind of material


Ukwuani and Uguta have same dialect and are kins the same way onitsha miri and asab have same dialect...just like looking into owerri migration and Agbor...you will understand that Agbor speaks the same dialect with Owerri just that a little benin inflence also



Ndoni and Ndokwa land speaks same dialect of Igbo which include uguta and that was why I categorized them same just like Ohaji, Egbema, Etche and possibly Ikwerre speaks same dialect which includes a bit of izombe and elele side....i am vast with dialects and i can categoricall speak upto 6 igbo dialects seamlessly

I am from Uguta/Oguta in Imo State.

In Uguta, we also have an Umudei Village from which the Obi is picked. And we also have the post of Iyasara. We were originally in Delta State but migrated. Can you tell me what the relationship is between us and present groups in Delta State.

Also you referred to Ndoni as Ndokwaland. By this, do you mean descendants of? I thought Ndokwaland is limited to parts of Delta State
