When you said Bende has a population of 3 million, I'm sure you meant the entire population of Abia State. Right? |

You have tried but your research is half baked. 1. To start with the new bende LGA comprises of villages lyk Alayi,item,bende,nkpa,okporoenyi,ugwueke ,eziukwu,igbere and some more not the communities in your nkpa u listed which i've never heard or came across. 2.They are not 3million in no. 3. God will punish the incumbent Governor,tell him. Btw,iam frm Alayi by birth,but marriage no. 1 Like |

ICHINONYE: Recently during service, I met a female Corper from Nkpa and we relished our "shared ancestry". I however thought the dialect would be similar to what is obtainable in Umunnato (Alayi, Igbere and Item) but I was shocked that what she spoke was closer to what is obtainable in lets say Umuahia while ours is closer to what is spoken in Abiriba and Nkporo (I don't think they are both in Bende LGA). I thought, she couldn't really speak the dialect until I went further to ask my parents questions about this hidden Nkpa community. That event really exposed how so little I know about my place. |
Re: The History And People Of Bende Lga Of Abia State by Ihuomadinihu: 10:28am On Apr 30, 2015 |
Eke40seven:Because Nkpa and some other surronding villages migrated from Isuikwuato. Their dialects would be close to what is spoken in Isuikwuato and Umuahia communities. |
Re: The History And People Of Bende Lga Of Abia State by Eke40seven(m): 11:30am On Apr 30, 2015 |
Ihuomadinihu:Hmmmm! Guess I knew too little after all. Isuikwuato is bordered by Alayi too. The dialect differs too. I think the dialects from Alayi to Ohafia to Arochukwu have the Ibibio/Efik language influences from the way they sound. |

Danrizzle:Yeah,the first communities you mentioned came from isuikwuato. |
Re: The History And People Of Bende Lga Of Abia State by Ihuomadinihu: 9:46pm On May 01, 2015 |
Eke40seven:Yeah,technically most communities south of Umuahia lie within the Cross River igbo culture while Alayi down to Arochukwu are linguistically connected to Cross river igbo dialect. 1 Like |

Re: The History And People Of Bende Lga Of Abia State by Ihuomadinihu: 9:01am On May 06, 2015 |
Eke40seven:Not really,just interested in all Igbo people. |
Re: The History And People Of Bende Lga Of Abia State by Eke40seven(m): 10:14am On May 07, 2015 |
Ihuomadinihu:Then that interest must be really deep. Its high time though these local governments started stacking the libraries with good history books one can go and inform oneself. |
Re: The History And People Of Bende Lga Of Abia State by Eke40seven(m): 10:29am On May 07, 2015 |
Abiagirl777:Jokwa! Amaigwu to be precise. That place brings back memories during December periods when we were still kids, we (me, brother and cousins) along with all our childish shenanigans would trek through Amaoji and through Amautazi on our way to the school at Methodist (I think they call it Amarugboghor) to grace the annual Nkalu day and the football match after the cultural proceedings. Days of our innocence, young, wild and free. |
Re: The History And People Of Bende Lga Of Abia State by Ihuomadinihu: 2:15pm On May 07, 2015 |
Eke40seven:Yes,i think the interest lies in being more aware of Igbo culture and searching for the origin of igbo people. I was able to trace these communities as descendants of Isuikwuato people. I have asked questions and natives of Isuikwuato say they have no history/memory of migration.Haha. I believe they are one of the igbo clans that migrated from Nsukka,Udi and Okigwe area,considering the discovery of Ugwuele artifacts. Little researches here and there go a long way. The more you search,the more it points to a northern origin/migration. |
