stynhaq: @bold... while writing out their supposed names, you clearly omitted the the Ikechukwu in Benjamin's name and Obi in Efeizomor's name. How crafty of you. 1) HRH Ikechukwu B. Nkeagborekwuzi (nke agbor ekwuzi - what will agbor people now say?) 2) HRH Obi Onyeike Efeizomor. Baby attempts at corrupting an Igbo name such that it looks non-Igboid, however pronunciation, just like the winter breeze, still exposes the rump of the fowl. Ikechukwu Nkeagboekwuzi is a full Igbo name. However, Efeizomor is clearly of foreign origin, in accordance with the tale of bini migrants who settled in Ika land. Majority of Ikas are of Igbo origin who the few bini migrants met on arriving in Ika. Do not twist history around to claim all Ikas are from Bini, for else the Bini language should have been spoken here and there. Also, it baffles me when certain Igbo groups speak an Igbo dialect of >98% Igbo words, and with just a few borrowed words from another language, turn around and claim they come from the language territory that accounts for less than 1% of their vocabulary. English is a well-known language of borrowing french, latin, spanish etc words. Does that suddenly mean it is no longer English but those languages? Weird human thinking. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Macelliot: You are been plain stupid. I was born and schooled in Agbor. precisely Gbenoba Boys Grammar School. Do you hear the name of my school? Gben-Oba. Has a mix of Benin in It. You Ibos always aint contempt with yourselves. It is not negotiable, we have no affiliation with you guys just as the Ikwerres of Rivers. Can't you respect one's Independence? How difficult is that? I initially thought the Yorubas and Hausa's were been sentimental, now I know that are 100% right. We have no roots with you guys. Period. Come to Agbor or Owa (Boji Boji) the only Ibos you see are the one's that came for trade as obtainable elsewhere in Nigeria. My summary: Mind your own business, do not claim what is not yours. If you need detailed History of Agbor, Go to Ika National Library in Agbor, COE Agbor, Delsu Abraka and Uniben. Stop talking what you assume. |

delpee: Olukumis are not Igbo. They are subgroup of Yoruba that migrated to Aniocha area. They were allowed in and given a land to grow though. Albeit, they now speak igbo and rarely any Yoruba And majority of their ppl classified themselves as Igbo. They were never Igbo people to begin with, they just adapted and switched to fit in the groups around them. Currently, the few of their ppl who still know their history and background are trying desperately to bring back a sense of pride to the Olukumis so they can start claiming their real ethnicity, sadly, it's not working. The igbo they speak is the ones they learned from igbo groups around them. 1 Like |

BabaO2: Union Igbo was an Igbo dialect formed during the journey to come up with a centralized Igbo dialect. An Igbo bible was written in the dialect then, but not widely understood by all dialects. The Igbo bible has been written in Onitsha, Owerri, Isuama, Union Igbo dialects etc. Until the introduction of Igbo Izugbe, which is the standard Igbo orthography which the modern Igbo bible now goes by, which you would see in bibles found in churches and homes in Igboland. Jehovah Witness articles are also written in Igbo Izugbe. ![]() ![]() Here's an e-version of the Igbo bible in Igbo Izugbe: https://www.bible.com/en-GB/bible/77/gen.1.igbob 2 Likes |

Posterity will remember him in good light, even the Ikwerre ancestors are with him. He who stands by the truth can never be a persona non grata, he would rather live beyond his time.

veuttoutlemonde: No. We use the same vowels and consonant in writing. Just a bit different in pronunciation and spell. Some igbos spell imili (water) we say imiri. They say olisa (God) we say Orise or Olise. But we are 95% related in writing but a few difference in culture. We share a niger-delta food and dressing, which is way far different from the main igbos. 1 Like |
