I'm proud to be Ishan as well. By the way from what part of the nation are we from again, I kind of forgot? |

Hi All, I'm not Ishan but I'm a bit shocked to read this: KB1: Well friend, I'll tell you which part of Nigeria you are from, even though I'm a Kalabari (Niger Delta). Going from memory as a kid whilst in Nigeria, I know that the people of Ishan come from the former Mid-West State. Some of the Ishan towns are located very close to the North and indeed, very hilly - e.g Auchi, whilst one is located at the confluence of River Niger and River Benue (Agbede, I think). The following are typical Ishan towns: - Auchi - Agbede - Agenegbode - Fugar - Irua - Jetu - Uromi - Ubiaja - towns making up Owan Division Please get to know your roots. If a non-Ishan such as I, knows your roots as much as I do, then you should know it without even thinking about it. By the way, Ishan is the name of the ethnic grouping as well as the language spoken there. That said, I used to know someone from Auchi who grew up in Nigeria before coming over here, yet claims he doesn't understand or speak Ishan. Typical case of being in self-denial. Bloody shameful, if you ask me. kiwi992. |
