Ok thanks. As for ukwuani and kwale, kwale is a town and they speak Ukwuani, but not all ukwuani people are from kwale. Kwale is not a dialect or language. I said Ibusa and Ibuzo aren't the same, based on people from that region that I encountered and their opinion. Thanks anyways tonychristopher: |

LovelyLilac: This is where the confusion lies...dear how can you say such, just go back read your submision again and know if their is logic in it..... It is UKWUANI AND DUE TO THE SINGULAR FACT THAT THE WHITE COULDNT PRONOUNCE THE UKWUANI THE ANGLIZIED IT TO KWALE JUST THE SAME WAY THE WHITES COUNDNT PRONOUNCE ENUGWU THE CALLED IT ENUGU IN ENGLISH THERE IS NOTHING LIKE gb, ch, kw,sh, etc...if you did english you will understand this IGBUZOR BUT OYIBO NO FIT CALL "GB" THEY SAID IBUSA AND THESE NAMES STUCK, WE AFRICAN SHOULD START CORRECTING THESE MISTAKES Kwale is not a town, it is ukwuani that is a town in Ndokwa or ukwuani there is nothing like kwale local government but we have Ukwuani Local Government Area Pls try to grow up dear, ukwuani is not language but a dialect, you should do research before you talk in public. these names are misplelt names ny whites and it is left for us to correct it. Ukwuani Local Government Area Obiaruku is the headquarters of Ukwuani LGA which was carved out of the then Ndokwa West LGA on the 4th of December, 1996 and has an area of 2,016 square kilometres. Nine clans make up the LGA namely; Akoku, Amai, Ebedei, Eziokpor, Ezionum, Obiaruku, Umuebu, Umukwata and Umutu. Together they make up the ten wards of the LGA with a population of about 103,000 going by the 1991 census. The people practice gerontocracy, were the oldest man is installed the traditional ruler, designated Okpala-Uku. The people are a mono linguistic group-the Ukwuanis (an Igbo dialect). http://www.deltastate.com.ng/Local-Government/ukwuani-local-government.html 1 Like |

bigfrancis21:You described the animals well but mixed the names. The problem is that you interchanged the Hawk for a Kite in English. The "hovering" or 'soaring' kite, is known and distinguished by its soaring and hovering movements in the sky as it identifies its prey, one of which is the chicks of domestic fowls or chickens more commonly. Even the inanimate kite is named thus because of the bird's movement. Hawk on the other hand, especially the ones identified in southern Nigeria, are quite smaller with an identifiably different feather markings/pattern unlike the Kite (the kite have a single colour or at most , two colours (brown, I.e the specie found in southern Nigeria) I think the yellow billed kite or the black kite(which is actually brown). The hawks fly and target their preys differently, in one fast swoop and do not hover or soar like kites before targeting their preys. The kites have a considerably longer wing span. in essence, the OP is correct. The kite is Egbe the Hawk is Nkwo 1 Like |

tonychristopher: Nna, Odum is lion, Agu is leopard. Awulu, I have never heard. Maybe it's a dialectical variation of NyaWNWURUede (fox). We have already discussed this tiger issue on this thread. If they want to keep arguing that our people had a word for tiger, then biko hapu ha. |
Re: Comprehensive List Of Animals In Igbo Language by Nobody: 2:18pm On Mar 09, 2015 |
If however Awulu is the same animal my people know as agu owulu, then it is the wolf. |
