Stricker321: It might not be a divisive thread, it might just be someone who is curious about who the Wawa people are. OP, Wawa people are a sub-sect of Igbos mainly found in Enugu state who speak a closely related dialect of Igbo called 'Wawa'. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Wawa is a province in Ontario, Canada. Wawa is a suburb in Pennsylvania, USA. Wawa is a language in Cameroon. Now over to Igboland: Wawa means No in most of Igbo dialects spoken in Enugu State. In Awka area of Anambra State, 'Wa' means No as well in their dialect. Just like in some Igbo dialects in Imo State, Olo means No. It is equally notable that other Igbo people from Anambra, Abia and Imo state ignorantly refer to Enugu State people as Ndi Wawa. Most people from these states have no clue what Wawa actually means. Sometimes some parts of Ebonyi state are included as Wawa people. The Igbo dialects in Enugu state varies from one local government area to the other, which is also the norm in neighbouring states. Wawaland is Anigbo kponkwem!! 9 Likes 1 Share |

Sometimes it's not all about tribalism and bigotry. I am one of the people who just learnt something new now. I never even knew Igbo had sub-sects. Stricker321: 3 Likes |

When we say "wawa person" , or "see as e dey look like wawa", we mean a dummy. Someone slow and retaard3d. The word wawa came from the way Wawa Ibos behave, blank, slow and mentally challenged. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Someone asked a question and some got defensive. Maybe if I should ask questions about the Ezeagu or the Udi people, it automatically makes me a Yoruba with the intention of "dividing" the Igbo race! 6 Likes 1 Share |

Wawa isn't any group of people, wa or wawa is how some people in part of Enugu state and Anambra say " No". In imo state some say olom which is equally no in that area. That word has it's origin in ancient Agbaja people of north - central Igbo. Read about Agbaja |

WE ARE THE WAWA PEOPLE. WHEN WE SAY WA, WE MEAN NO. THOSE DAYS SOME AGBENU PEOPLE USED TO CALL OUR GRANDFATHERS NDI WAWA BECAUSE THEY SEE THEM AS UNCIVILISED AND POOR FARMERS.THE COMMUNITIES THAT SPEAK WA CAN BE FOUND IN AWKA NORTH LGA (ANAMBRA STATE) , ENUGU WEST AND EAST SENATORIAL ZONES, 1 Like |

Wawa people are the unfortunate people of Enugu state. They are actually half-igbo, half-fulani. They are the poorest and laziest in the igbo race. Most armed robbers, beggers, street urchins, househelps and ipods that you find in igboland are actually wawa people. It was due to this stark difference between us, the real anambra people and them that we decided to end our association with them by asking the federal govt to split the old anambra state and create a seperate state for them in order that they don't defile us with their backwardness. 2 Likes |

@Op don't mind the posters above the word wawa is fondly used on nairaland by Anambra igbos to talk down on Enugu and Abia igbos. Don't let them twist or sugarcoat it... it's tribalism among igbos you're seeing 2 Likes 1 Share |
