nengibo: So what's the fuss about? That Igbos have their own different interpretations of same words from Ibani and Ibibio. |

nengibo:Hmmmm, are you sure? because of the effect of civil war people are now claiming Igboland and interpreting igbo word to mean another thing. Who were the 1st settlers in Opobo and what forced them to moved to Opobo before the ijaws came from Sierra Leone to join them? When the Igbos 1st settled there what was the name they gave the land and what's the meaning? when king jaja was leaving Bonny for Opobo was it not on an exile mission? not because you were allowed to settle there with them because they wanted to create a kingdom and needed population you named some of the areas in your words and start claiming them today. One word can mean different things in different language, ENE means antelope in Igbo but mother in Idoma, attah means dryness in Igbo but a head in Igala. The word Aro in Igbo is it the same with the English arrow, the word oligo used by ancient igbo traders to express large wealth is it the same used as prefix in English language. I won't dispute your Ibani context about the word Igwenga which might be what you interpreted it to be in your language, but who was the first to give the name? History holds it that ijaw dwellers in Bonny and Opobo came many years after Igbos settled in the land. But come to think of it, why is it that Ijaw and Edo are claiming our rivers and western Igbos while nobody cares to claim Agbo clans in cross river, Igbos in Akwa ibom and Benue states hope it's not because of oil found in western and rivers Igboland? |

Abagworo:you are close to what I told him, the word Igwe in Igwenga is pronounced as the word igwe(king) not igwe(iron). Nga undisputedly means prison in Igbo language while slave is ohu. I am not here to drag any land with any person but truth was be told. He can interpret Igwenga to mean another thing in his language but history holds it that Igbos are 1st settlers on these lands and were the 1st to name the lands before Ijaws came from Sierra Leone to settle on river banks. |

Abagworo:And this man forget that most tribes in Akwa ibom and cross river state have many things in common with Aros of Abia, some clans in Aro migrated from them while many of them migrated from Aro. |

nengibo:I've cousins who are Mmoŋo...and that's what they told me "ikot" means in their tongue. I don't know why all these minorities wanna annex parts of Igboland to their ND agenda and they should be certain that their attempts either in Anioma or Igwenga or any other part of Igboid Rivers would be resisted with the full might of 40M Igbos worldwide. |
Re: Are Urhobos And Isoko And Ika Also Edo? by nengibo: 9:51am On Feb 24, 2017 |
cheruv:You are just hilarious, seek information first before talking online Ikot-Abasi is now an igbo word, wow just wow IGWENGA is now an igbo word, truly sad You change the meaning of town names just to push your propaganda and u will later ask y Rivers people hate igbo, why Niger deltans hate Igbo, look inwards and you will find the answer. .. Its funny how igbos are over one billion people and they are still jealous of "MINORITIES" begging and claiming for relationship with their "igboid" tags and propaganda. |

nengibo:So true. Igbos come to your land, give an Igbo meaning to your town name and other words and eventually corrupt them and later start claiming it to be the original name. 2 Likes 1 Share |

nengibo: Nobody ever said Ikot-Abasi is Igbo word but that it means "People of God" or "Ndi Chukwu" when translated to Igbo. Ibibio and Aro are but half brothers . The 1st settlement of Ibibio was at Ibom Arochukwu in Abia State. Igbos later mixed with them to emerge as Aros with Aros retaining Ibom homeland. |
Re: Are Urhobos And Isoko And Ika Also Edo? by nengibo: 5:46pm On Feb 24, 2017 |
Abagworo:So why the translation of the ibibio town name to igbo? Or you want to say thats the original name now. |
Re: Are Urhobos And Isoko And Ika Also Edo? by Abagworo(m): 6:46pm On Feb 24, 2017 |
nengibo: The major reason Igbos and Ibibios are in good relationship is because they are not suffering from inferiority complex or insecurity like you. Jaja was an Igbo man from Amaigbo in Isuama that left Bonny to found Opobo in recent history but insecurity will make you deny that obvious truth. 3 Likes |

Some families in my ndokwa area came out from Bini too,but you don't see them talk about it like its some big stuff. We've kept quiet for too long,that's why its you Bini settlers are now loud.

How come these conquering Igbos did not conquer the Hausas, Fulanis, Yorubas? Or even their Igalla, Idoma, Ibibio, Ijaw and Efik neighbours? Why only Ikas/Aniomas?

gerg:Guy to be honest to you, an average Enuani person find it very much harder to understand Ika dialect just like Anambra person too. Any Igbo dialect Anambra person finds difficult to understood will also be difficult for Enuani person to understand. For example Ika dialect, ebonyi dialect and ikwere dialect will be difficult for Anambra person to understand the same with Enuani person. Similarities between Anambra and Enuani Igbo far more compared to Enuani/Ika. |

Re: Are Urhobos And Isoko And Ika Also Edo? by Abagworo(m): 9:52pm On Feb 26, 2017 |
Ukwuani is related to Igbo spoken in parts of Imo and Anambra like Ogbaru and Oguta while Enuani is more related to Anambra proper like Idemili or Onitsha. Ika is a more difficult dialect just like Afikpo, Abiriba, Abakaliki and Ikwerre. |
Re: Are Urhobos And Isoko And Ika Also Edo? by gerg: 10:02pm On Feb 26, 2017 |
Abagworo:Ika is difficult but Ukwani is very difficult as well. Enuani is easier for Easterners to understand but there are many Ika words in all Anioma dialects. We all speak almost the same things with slight difference. where there is a major difference is intonation. Ukwani speak Ika with Urhobo accent, Enuani sounds more Igbo but there are many Ika words and expression. Just too many. Anybody that disputes this is not from Anioma |
