So what brought Nsukka into your analysis?
Could you explain the connection between Nsukka and the point you are trying to push?
So in your warped mind the Ikweres are more Igbo than the Nsukka people? Is that what you are trying to posit, you dimwit? For you to find it so easy to make the idiotic comparison you have just made, shows you are full of prejudices even against your fellow Igbos. So you appointed your self to seat in judgment over the old Eastern Region in order to decide which part and quarter of Igboland that is more Igbotic than the other?
Don't you see that you are already defeated in your vain analysis?
In your moronic imagination, the Ikweres are your kith. You see how foolish you sound?
You are leaning towards a people who times without number have vowed to everyone who cares to pay heed that they are not Igbos. Can't you learn to deal with this reality.
Go and study well.
Before 1960, the Ikweres already started asserting the fact that they are not Igbos. Deal with this fact and quit being a dunce.
And while you are splashing about on this thread fooling yourself about a kinship that does not exist anywhere between you and your Ikwerre friends,
do very well to leave Nsukka people out of your foolery. Don't you ever mention Nsukka again in the same sentence with Ikwerre!
Take your time now and be warned!

I can feel your situation; like a mixture of pain and anxiety.
The difference between me and you is simple. I dished out facts, and you replied with here say..
An Imo man understands significant words in ikwere than nsukka. But you are yet to show me a proof of referendum conducted on the good people of ikwere. The days of beer palour talk are over.

Oga, what brought Nsukka into your discussion?
If you are obsessed with Ikwerre people you can go on to declare to everyone who cares to listen how dearly you feel towards them. You can effectively do that without bringing Nsukka into your retarded talk!

just because the other ethnicities didn’t use ministerial positions to better their own region doesn’t mean a wise Igbo man can’t.

I am not confident they are any different, rather we need to scrutinise them more and demand transparency, if the common man doesn't wield leverage over the elite they will exploit and steal without consequences

RedboneSmith:


Dialect divergence is a normal thing in history. For every large language group, the dialects on the fringes are going to show considerable differences from the dialects in the centre.

The thing to note is that despite the low level of mutual intelligibility between the Abakaliki cluster and the central dialects, lexical similarity between Abakaliki dialects and the central dialects is still over 80%.

Igala influence? None that I can tell.

Some influence from Idomoid and Upper Cross dialects, but that's minimal.

The thing that I have noticed about Abakaliki dialects is that the main reason why it sounds incomprehensible is the way they pronounce words, ie, their accents and inflections. That is why written Ezza is easier to understand by a central Igbo speaker than spoken Ezza.

So why is Ikwerre dialect despite it being on the fringes, very close to the Igbo central. Even though it has non-Igboid Ijaw Neighbors.

Why are the Abakaliki and Nsukka dialects the only fringe ones with such deep variations.

Are you sure you are actually familiar with the different varieties of Ikwerre? I don't know anyone who actually knows Ikwerre that will argue that it is closer to "central Ìgbò" than Nsukka and Abakaliki dialects.

First of all, Ikwerre is not one dialect. There are many Ikwerre dialects. The Ikwerre spoken in Omerelu, close to the Imo border may be close to what the average Imo indigene from the southern communities may understand. But this is not the same with the Ikwerre spoken in Ogbakiri for instance. Or Ndele. Or even the Rebisi clan.

I will 100% argue that Ikwerre is more divergent than Nsukka.

Have you ever heard an ikwerre man speak? What made you believe their dialect is understandable to Central Igbo speaker than Nsukka? I am asking because I have ikwerre people as my friends also an Nsukka man who happened to be my schoolmate, so what are you up to?

I often see Southeasterners on NL saying things like Ikwerre is closer to Central Ìgbò than Nsukka. And I feel they are either lying or they met Ikwerre people who spoke to them in Central Ìgbò and they assumed that's what Ikwerre sounds like.

Most (if not all) Ikwerre people from the PH area can speak and understand Central Ìgbò, and when they meet someone from the Southeast, they will typically speak to them in Central Ìgbò. That is not their dialect.

I have travelled widely through Obio-Akpor and PHALGA and I make a point to listen to the people speaking in their own dialects, and I can say without mincing words that anybody from Anambra or Northern axis of Imo State who claims that he understands their dialect without prior exposure to it is not telling the truth. You will catch bits and pieces of what is said, but on the whole their dialect will not be intelligible to you.
