The intonation is different. There is no such word as "Ibo" in the Igbo language.

True the intonation is different but when is spelt is the same .....strange so nothing like ibo really you live and you learn i guess

Stick to areas you understand. Rivers is a state with several ethnic groups including Igbo groups - Ndoni, Etche and Igboid groups - Ikwerre.

We have igbo speakers in Benue?

That's why he titled it 'A list', not 'the list'. It means the list is not all encompassing.

I wasn't questioning the presence of Igbo-speaking groups in Benue. I was questioning the existence of Ogba in Benue. Ogba is in Rivers State.

You dey mind am that Yoruba buf00n. This is Ndoni/Etche, etc own LGA website written by the people from that part of the state.

I truly envy river state in this jor. I wish the deltan government can do the same thing and allow each LGA to have a portion of the state's website in which they can write their origin, history, etc. I truly envy River state in this.

Ukwuani is not exactly igboid. There are elements of Yoruba and Edo contained therein.
I don't think so. Ukwani understand and uses some the central igbo terms when speaking, they bear the same name. I have never heard any yoruba or edo terminology at all. if it's urhobo or isekiri I will understand

The op of this thread has maliciously included Ikwerre amongst the various Igbo clans.

The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria recognises the Igbo and Ikwerre as two separate tribes..Nigerians can always refer to the constitution whenever that need arises.

We are not surprised at the Igbos and their tendencies because other Nigerians can prove that are always a provocative tribe and have the nature of attaching themselves to other people either by hook or crook.

tonychristopher, Pazienza, emmysoftyou, babyosisi, freeglobe, Abagworo and other NL igbos should do well to inform the op.

So OP you disregarded the best Igbo group, ANIOCHA?
You added Ukwuani but no Aniocha? You added Ika but no Aniocha? You added Ikwerre but no Aniocha?

Okay kwa

The OP listed Enuani. Aniocha is part of Enuani.
