For any body to make a statement or pass comment about a people or tribe, that person should have information. Uneme are proud and bless people. They have their language. sam ojo |

I think majority of the Edo languages are actually going into extinction. Am from edo state (ishan) and av never heard of Uneme. I cant even speakm my dialect. My moms Akoko Edo and she cant speak either. All my edo friends cant speak their dialects also. Personally, I guess the Edo lingua franca is pidgin. |
Re: Uneme: My Tribe, IS NOT Going Extinct ANYMORE! by Gamine(f): 8:58pm On Nov 02, 2010 |
The Edo lingua Franca has largely been the 'Bini' tongue, because Lingua franca is usually the language of the more influential I know, many who speak Bini and Uneme, because they wanted to live in the 'city' My mum's Uneme town, Unemenekhua, was largely influenced by the nearby Yorubas, so Ligua franca in that area became Yoruba, and some people, actually 'became' Yoruba But yeah, I figure these days, Pidgin is cutting across every area. I do know that these our languages are getting wiped out, I can hardly speak myself, but I'm beginning to learn, I think It's up to us to actually take a stand and do something, before these things turn to relics like so many others. It's really sad that all people want to do now is speak Oyinbo pass Oyinbo. We will survive. @Erionose, Enlighten me. |

Going extinct? It’s a bit confusing. Are Uneme people dying off, or being wiped out (annihilated) by others, or are they being transformed to other people? If they are being transformed, what are they being transformed into? Bini, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo. |

Gamine: I am so proud of what you've done. I think we have a great culture and rich history as Africans and should prioritise preserving it. I know there are people that simply don't care. We won't pay them any mind. -Isale Gangan |
Re: Uneme: My Tribe, IS NOT Going Extinct ANYMORE! by Gamine(f): 11:28pm On Nov 05, 2010 |
Obiagu1: Extinct. . well, its more about the culture than the people. Many are dying off ofcourse, but the main issue is about them being Transformed. .lol, Assimilated (being the politically correct term) yes they are, Yoruba. . .more so than others, but the cultures which border them on the North, have had some influence. Many youths also prefer to speak 'Bini' I remember my mum only recently talking about her primary school friend who married a Yoruba man, and was going to visit her in another country. . ''. . .She can hardly speak Uneme, She's Yoruba now'' isale_gan2: I'm afraid I'm not doing enough, but I'm glad I have been able to raise awareness so far. Thanks |

Gamine: You've kept at this for far longer than i thought you would. That's a good thing in my books. With luck you'll marry a strapping Uneme lad and produce 5 Uneme kids who will jabber all day in the Uneme Language |

Am etsako, and it wasnt long that i knew about the uneme in edo north. I believe the unemes has alot in their hand to stop this problem. I find out the unemes are outcask in Edo, though they are scattered around the edo north. While most of them fails disclosing their identity, to avoid rejection. |

Gamine: I am from a tribe called Uneme Unless systematically everyone of the young adult generation and the old men who are polygamist in your tribe tribe starts having alot of kids to increase the population and then instill the language, I can see the instinction being stopped; so that is the only solution or your theory could be true. |

Outstrip: Gamine part of the problem is that the Ineme people are sort of seen as the Osu of that area. I know that etsakos traditionally will not marry an Ineme. Though it is changing now with our generation. That might be part of the reason why the numbers are falling.you are a big fool for saying what u don't no.... u lack a good historical upbringing.. right from creation the ESA KO had always been married to the uneme. go ask ur father if u have one |

The Uneme people can be found in the Northern part of Edo state. The Edo north people are generally called Afemai. To find out more about the Uneme people, read "A CONCISE HISTORY OF UNEME PEOPLE" at this link http://www.afemaipeople.com/concise-history-uneme-people/ |
