@BigFrancis, There are no indigenous ethnic igbos in Kogi. Many Igalas from southern igala speak Igbos as a second language and may share Igbo origins, but today, we are all Igalas by ethnicity. There are also igala speakers in Enugu and Anambra and Igbo speakers with Igala origin in these states. Sealeddeal: 8 Likes |

oglalasioux:Another factor responsible for the development of dialects apart from the mixing of tribes are the natural barriers that isolate identical groups from one another. Because of the minimal interaction this causes they overtime begin to develop separate identities from their relatives. The regions of Nigeria with the most natural barriers such as dense forests, high hills and mountains such as the plateau region, adamawa hills taraba, cross river basins have the highest diversity. What is the nature of ebonyi compared to other parts of Igbo land with respect to the aforementioned? 2 Likes 3 Shares |

Igboid: Ette is an Igala town with Idoma and Igbo migrants. The kingship titles and traditional rulers are in Igala. Igga and i think Ogurugu towns in Enugu are of Igala origin, they are both billingual in igala and igbo, but because they are in Enugu, they seem to identify as Igbo, am not really sure. 5 Likes |

Igboid: You are 100% correct....Ebonyi has by far the least dialect in Igbo states ....am from Ebonyi...u can see two LGAs in Ebonyi speaking same dialect eg is Ohaozara and Onicha LGA Nxt is Afikpo-Edda-Amasiri-Uwanna-Apkoha-Enohia who speak an hear same "jokwa' dialects Down to Ezza-izzi-ikwo who hear and speak same dialect unlike in Enugu where same LGA like 'Udi' speak diferent dialect e.g Ngwo,UDI town, abor, egede, okpatu,eke all have different dialects As for Anambra they have lost their dialects to central Igbo probably bc they have more trade involvement which involves using central igbo 10 Likes |

bigfrancis21: No pls, they speak Igala as a first language and igbo as a second language. Although it varies among some individuals. Some speak igbo more. Some answer igala names, some answer igbo names. I have been to these places. I am from southern igala. 5 Likes 1 Share |

oglalasioux: On the contrary, I believe based on the theory of genetics, genetic pool and evolution , that the area with the highest number of diversity is always the source. It's very possible that nsukka and ebonyi may be the source of the Igbo race as we know them today |
Re: Igbo Speaking Communities In Kogi State by oglalasioux(m): 2:44pm On Nov 04, 2016 |
Igboid: In Ishielu LGA alone, you have Ezillo speaking a totally different dialect, Iyonu speaking another dialect. Nkalagu and Umuhali speak another version of the Nkanu dialect while Nkalaha and Obegu speak the Nsukka dialect. That's 4. Then you have Izzi, Ezza, Ikwo and Ngbo/Izhia making 8 dialects. When you add Afikpo, Ivo and Ohaozara you have total of 11 dialects. Note that I didn't add the non Igbo speaking parts of the State such as Effium, Ofurekpe, Ntezi, Okpoto and Amuda. Enugu State has 5 dialects namely Nkanu, Awgu, Udi and Nsukka. Anambra has 3 dialects, Umunze, Onitsha and Aguleri (except the northern Igala speaking communities). Abia has 3, Isukwato, Ngwa and Arochukwu. Imo has 3, Mbaise, Owerri and Okigwe. So no Igbo state has more dialects than Ebonyi state. On your stance that Ngbo people are not related to the Idomas you may be right. I base my argument on the sound of their words and similarities in their names such as Agbo and Agala among others. 2 Likes |

Joavid: It's now a crime to be a polite & 'welcoming' people, I pity the yorubas they keep forming sophisticated allowing igbos settle in their main economic states (lag, ogun, oyo) instead of giving them the northern treatment once in a while so history will remember who owns the land lols If we start talking about how onitsa is corrupted edo lingua onitse they will start raining invectives on me. But tell them igbos founded lagos n watch as they reach for the vaseline. 6 Likes 1 Share |

tobimillar: The Nsukka and most Ebonyi Igbos' culture and traditions are purely shaped by Tiv, Idoma and the Igala cultures and traditions. From masquerades to marriages and foods and burials. |
