D igbos and d ukwuani people of delta state will only come 2geda wen it bcoms political necessary and that is wat we r doin now workin 4d creation of a new state 4rm delta state called ANIOMA STATE which both 4d UkwuANIS and Igbos(aniocha people)

Hey mr man..dont 4ce ur igboness on ukwuani people..i hv told u igbos so many times dat Ukwuani is an ethnic group dat speaks a language dat is considerd similar to edo and igbo language..d fact dat it falls under d igboid class of language dosnt make it igbo language.it was even d colonial masters dat made our ethnicity 2b very much popular because dey saw our culture and loved it more dan dat of d igbos....although d UKWUANIS hav been xistin 1700AD b4 d igbos existence.(where did d colonial masters anchor their ship wen d came to Nigeria?its ABOH in NDOKWA LAND).this is to prove to u dat ukwuanis xisted b4 Igbo.im absolutely sure dat d igbos left 4rm ukwuani land to settle in d less fertile land fill with red mud sand and there was no space 4 dem dats y igbos always fight 4 land...ukwuani means d upland people blessd with much land 4 agriculture.the ukwuani empires settled in d land because it was rich and fertile 4 agriculture.we also tnk God dat d ukwuanis r so much blessd wit d black gold(crude oil and gas).dis is to tell u dat dey settled in d right place b4 d igbos in d east...for example,u cannot assume an urobo man 2b isoko,a bini 2b called esan,an efik man 2b called ibibio,an idoma 2b called igala,an itsekiri man 2b called yoruba man...it sounds foolish dat u igbos dont understand tins...for ur informatn it is not d igbos dat created d multi ethnic groups in nigeria so mind ur business and dont b jealous because d ukwuanis hav wat u dont have..i wish u igbos had kings dey would hav created ethnic groups...but we d ukwuanis have rulers called okpala-ukus who ruled 4 many years..they were d ones dat projected d ukwuanis to wat it is 2day.....The truth is bitter but it is good 4u igbos 2know dat we remain seperate ethnicity despite ur troubles.we d ukwuani people will 4eva reject d igbo as their ethnicity and Uphold NDOKWA/UKWUANI ethnicity because 99% speaks ukwuani language and dont understand igbo(1%)...my grand parents dont understand igbo...iv lived in kogi state,many igbos taugth dat i was a part of dem but later found out dat i couldnt communicate wit dem in Igbo language as i was speakin my UkWUANI so they left me alone...d ukwuani culture and traditions ar totaly different 4rm dat of d igbos.their way of life,dressin,music,food,relationship, is totaly different..d igbos who have being trading in ukwuani land have even isolated themselves 4rm d ukwuani people because dey have found out everytin is different 4rm wat dey assumed..d igbos had 2 compensate themselves by celebratin their igbo cultural day in isolated places such as school playgrounds,gardens, football stadiums etc....d northern part of nigeria has so many tribes but dat dosnt make all of dem hausa.those in d middle belt areas(bassa,nupe,igala,idoma,tiv,etc) r not hausa but hav gotten much influence 4rm d nothern region may be through religious influences which makes majority of us in d south 2 call them hausa which they r not.so it is here in d southern region.d ukwuani people r found in d niger delta central region which hav much influences 4rm d ijaws,urobo,isoko,bini, and d larger part of igbo.all dis doesnt make dem igbo.we r full blooded niger deltans 2d core.4 ur infomation d ukwuani/ndokwa nation have bin recognized as a seperate ethnic identity from d igbo ethnicity many years ago. 90% of us see our selves as ukwuanis and not igbos..we call igbos our neigbours and somtimes our brothers. D igbos and d ukwuani people of delta state and rivers will only come 2geda in nigeria wen it bcoms politically necessary and that is wat we r doin now.we are workin 4d creation of a new state 4rm delta state called ANIOMA STATE which is both 4d UkwuANIS,ikas and Igbos(aniocha/oshimili people)

u igbo should kip quiet and say wat u know about urselvs.dont say nonsense about our ukwuani people..the urobo man dont 4ce iskoko 2b an urobo,neither d bini man 4ce an esan or etsako man 2 becom bini..igbo language was gotten 4rm Ukwuani language.u igbos r speakin adultrated ukwuani language..i advice u people 2 learn d real language called ukwuani and stop speakin wat we dont understand(slave tongue).The UKWUANIS r MAIN PEOPLE....UKWUANI is a language dat is similar to ur language language n edo language..it is found in delta state n ndokwa,east,west nd ukwuani l.g.a..but yet it considered as an ethnic group in nigeria but it is a part d anioma(a socio-cultural group of delta state)..even urobo n isoko r similar too,bini n eshan too,igala nd idoma too..respect every tribe 4 who they r so dat peace will reign in dis nation..we can ourselves brothers instead of abusin our selves

yes ukwuani is a language dat is spoken in delta state..it is considered liguistically similar to edo and igbo language.it is falls under d igboid language class..the language is usually spoken in ndokwa,east,west,ukwuani(delta)and d ogba/ndoni l.g.a(rivers)..it is an ethnic group in nigeria found in d anioma region of delta state(delta north senatorial district).99% of d ukwuani people believe dat they came 4rm d Bini Empire while only 1%(those in river niger boundry) believes dat dey migrated 4rm d igbo region..Their cultural affinity is with dat of d ijaws,isoko n urobo and smaller part of igbo

my ethnicity is ukwuani,no 338 on d list....y do igbos like so much arguments.? Dis is y dey refuse dem 4rm bcomin d president of nigeria.....if d urobo and isoko r different tribes,igala n idoma ar different,bini and esan r differen,itsekiri and yoruba r different ethnic group...it simply means d every group want to live independently...for ur infomation about d Anioma...i am 4rm d anioma region...it is only just a part of anioma dat speaks igbo language which r d aniocha people....d ika,ukwuani/ndokwa people r distinct ethinic group which hav decided to form a political name with d aniocha(igbo group) to form a new state...i am 100percent ukwuani because we dont speak igbo...so hw do we comminicate with igbos??..we want to train u people to know dat Ukwuani is a distint ethnic group under d so calld Anioma formation(a socio cultural group)

Kalabari, Okrika, Ibani are not tribes, they are Ijaws, THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH LIKE Ijebu of Yoruba or egba of yoruba, Kalabari Okrika and Bonny are collectively Ijaw Tribe that includes the Arogbo people of Ondo and the Izons of Delta,Edo and Bayelsa states.

u r tryin..dis people hav bin made an ethnic group and bin registered..so y r u contestin it..y is it painin u igbos..y didnt u people create ur own groups??..we d ukwuani ethnicity of delta state speak a language which is very much intelligble to edo n igbo language...dat dosent mean dat we r igbo or edo..our language is a registered ethnic group..so u igbos should go hug transformer if it pains u

egheleghe: Defining distinct language from dialect is almost impossible if the distinct language is mutually intelligible with the other.example is isoko-urhobo and efik-ibibio-annang.a small lingual group might be considered by some as part of a bigger group.This becomes even more difficult if the group is heterogenous.an example is igbo-ikwerre.if ikwerre (whose igbo is more mutually intelligible to other igbos than ebonyi,enugu and north-eastern abia) is considered an ethnic group,it means that there are well over 200 ethnic groups in south-east alone.i however must state clearly here that language is not the only determinant.the main factor is personal belief.if i'm from ikwerre and consider myself igbo,thats my cup of tea.if i consider myself different from igbo,no one can force me period.

brother u
re very much korrect

Igbo,Ndokwa/ukwuani,ekpeye,ogba,&Ikwerre are familiar tribes.let every one respect each other instead of claiming the territories of one another.the greediest among this familiar tribes is igbo.

Stop stayin wat u dont know..im an ukwuani/ndokwa boy..our tribe is not igbo.igboid group of ethnic groups in nigeria r igbo,ikwere,ika,ogba,& ukwuani, while d edoid groups r bini,esan,etsako,owan,urobo,isoko,while d yoruboids include d yoruba,itsekiri,&igala..hence u cannot say dat an isan man is a bini man,or an etsako man is a bini man..they r different tribes wit liguitstical similarities...this also applies to many other languages in d nigeria and d world.eg,french and enlgish.chinese&japanese language,etc.if u want to know more about UKWUANI PEOPLE and their language,com find out directly 4rm us.a real ukwuani man will simply tell u he's ukwuani/ndokwa and not igbo.The word ANIOMA is just a political name which was concievd som yrs ago...its a socio-cultural and political movement which tend to bring 2geda all d similar ethnic group in Delta north senatorial distric...A-aniocha(igbo speakers),N-ndokwa,I-ika,O-Oshimili(igbo speakers),then MA is just an attachment which makes it meaninful called ANIOMA(good land).....Ndokwa was d 3rd largest ethnic group in d defunct Bendel state.Ndokwa is the 2nd largest tribe in delta state after d uhrobos,and its also d Largest in Anioma(delta north region) tnks ..its just like,for example,in EDO state,the bini,esan,etsako,and owan(ethnic similarities comin 2geda to achieve a political goal)

Must u force every tribe to become igboy wont u people respect urselves...ukwuani is not igbo despite som similarities in names..ukwuani is ukwuani/ndokwa and its d name of our tribe and none can bring us down.i want to also let u know dat d word igbo means SlAVe in ukwuani language terms..ukwuani is one of d listed nigerian languages and its studied as a language in some nigeria higer institutions,its also taught in primary and secondary schools within ukwuani land...even though there ar some ancestral similarities in language structure,its very much different 4rm igbo language because 99% of ukwuani people cannot understand or communicate in igbo language.....An ukwuani man has notin to do with d igbo man right 4rm history of Gods creation unless wen it becomes politically necessary....we r on seperate land(bounded by river niger)...do u know dat urobos is not isoko?,itsekiri is not yoruba,idoma is not igala,efik is not ibibio,calabari is not ezon,bini is not eshan,tiv is not birom,ukwuani is not igbo,hausa is not kanuri...from dis xamples u can observe dat despite d similarities between this tribes de r very much different 4rm each other..so u igbos should try and be learned enof to understand this fact...i guess u guys dont read enof dats y u people talk any how..some.nigeria tribes looks very similar but they r totally different ethnic groups..dats how it is in som foreign countries too..american english is quite different 4rm pirate english and british english(y didnt they call it english dialect?),etc.also d latin and spanish languages too......so Beware!!.respect every people for who dey are becos ResPET IS reCIPROCAL and it will be well wit u...tnks
