zero8zero: Ugbodu is not Yoruba. Move on. At best they can be said to be a member of the "defoid" ie the common language tree the proto Igala and Proto Yoruba people emerged from. Either way, they met aboriginal Igbos on ground who acculturated and assimilated them. Out of the 6 Odiani communities, 4 has been fully assimilated as Igbo speakers, while only 2 are still bilingual in Igbo(Enuani) and Olukumi( defoid) language. Also it has to be understood that Olukumi is as intelligible to Yorubas as Igala is to Yorubas. They are not mutually intelligible. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Igboid:You must be a very confused person in life. First, you claimed Olukumi are igbos and Now, you're saying Igbo people have been assimilated as Igbo speakers. When people on this forum say igbos are revisionist and derive pleasure in bringing others down. I am beginning to agree. FYI, Ugbodu is an Olukumi town. In fact, the headquarters of Olukumi. 15 Likes 5 Shares |

Etrusen:This is on their Wikipedia page The Olukwumi people is a subgroup of the Yoruba people of the Aniocha North area of the Delta State, Nigeria. The Olukwumi occupy eight communities west of the Niger river, and are together known today as the Odiani Clan in Aniomaland. Historically, the Odianis are the Yoruba clans in the Anioma cultural area. Ukwu Nzu (Eko Efun) town is the historical headquarters of the Olukwumi people and is traditionally headed by the Obi of Ukwu Nzu, Agbogidi The present Obi is H.R.M. Obi Ogoh 1. Olukwumi villages select leaders through the Okpala Obi system, which is the Okpala (gerontocracy) of the Yorubas. The Odianis today are seen as Igbos in Delta State, together with the Ezechime who and Idumuje clan . The Anioma people are the Igbo subgroup from Aniocha (Enuani and Olukwumi), Ndokwa (Ukwuani), Ika, and Oshimili areas of Delta State. 9 Likes 1 Share |

zero8zero:Olukumi is far deviated Igala. They also bear Igala name like Ugbade and share common boundary with neighboring Ebu which is also Igala speaking town. Igala begot many Igbo speaking part of Delta, Anambra and Enugu but because of acculturation and proximity many were influence by high Igbo population which makes them adopted Igbo language today. Even the remnants Igala speaking towns within those vicinity are all vigorously adopting Igbo language. Ugbodu, Oku-nzu, Ebu(Delta Igalas) Illushi(Edo Igala), All Anambra Igala speaking part which NZAM my home town is part of , all Enugu Igala speaking part, are all adopting Igbo language posing a threat for the extinction of our mother language. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Klinee: Don't be silly. Many Igala refugees fleeing from Attah Igala cruelty were accommodated in many Parts of Northern Igboland (Anioma, Anambra North and Enugu North) where they coexist with Igbo aboriginals they met on ground. Some of them came as Invaders and were trapped or a stalemate ensued and they had to find a way to co-exist. Nzam is also a bonafide Igbo town that the Igbo aboriginals had to quell and subdue Igala Invaders after a fierce battle. The Igalas were allowed to stay and have been peacefully and slowly acculturated and assimilated as Igbos over the years. Anytime any of you are tired of this peaceful acculturation process, you will be chased back to Idah where you invading, war mongering or refugee ancestors came from. Beware. Igbo nationalism is currently a moving train and at its peak. Don't remind us of your Igala ancestors aggression that brought you to our land to start with, you will be ruthlessly crushed. cc: Bkkay 8 Likes 1 Share |
