tonyxxx: I didn't say Nembe is a cross river language. Maybe you misinterpreted me. What I meant was that Ogbia is a cross river language and this is a documented fact. Thanks for your comment. |

aljharem:. The Urhobo "wadoo" sounds like "wayo" so people only made fun with it. There's nothing wayo in the nature of urhobo. I hope you have learned something now. As for the OP, the urhobo man will understand the isoko dialect if he can pay rapt attention when isoko is being spoken. They share a lot of similar words. 5 Likes |

Fake Niger Deltans all over this thread including the OP. They are using Nigerian wuruwuru to divide up Biafran land. The only part of Niger Delta that is not Biafran is Edo and Ondo (and maybe Olukunmi people - the are from Yorubaland). All the rest are Biafran. Don't let the OP fool you. 5 Likes |

fratermathy: Sometimes it is unwise to dabble into something you know not about using beer palour gist as your source. I cannot say for Ogba and Ekpeye but Ikwerre isn't any Akalaka brother or whatsoever. There definitely were influence from Ekpeye at the west end just like there was Okrika to the South and Ogoni to the East but your information is flawed. Ikwerre and Etche are more related than those Akalaka people. Okpo Nwagidi is the father of Ikwerre and migrated out of Etcheland first before dispersing with his people to Isiokpo, Omuanwa, Omuagwa etc. with later migrations westwards and eastwards to occupy the vast area we have today. Ikwerre had no monarchy and does the Oha system which can be found in Etche and parts of Imo State. The similarity in language is same as seen in all Igbo speaking people apart from Ekpeye. 8 Likes |

Nice article, but wrong on some points, Anioma is not just acronym,but the name of the indigenous people for their land,it means fair earth or good land if you will,their dialects differ according to communities but is divided into 2 ,enuani meaning upland and ukwuani corrupted to kwale meaning low lands,they are not igboid but their own Igbo speaking people. These present day demarcation and state creations are man-made and not natural. Notice,the ndoni of rivers,ukwuani of delta and oguta of Imo state have virtually the same dialects.they are just face to face across each other on the river Niger. Just saying.though. 10 Likes |

obiezed: Kudos for presenting your argument like a sane person. I'll, therefore, reply you. 1. Enuani is a pure Igbo dialect. 2. Ika is an IGBOID language, not a dialect. 3. Ndokwa is an IGBOID language, not a dialect. 4. Ikwerre is an IGBOID language, not a dialect. I know the confusion may arise on what constitutes "Igboid languages" and "Igbo dialects". I'm not in a position to answer that. What I've written was sourced from academic sources on the languages. You may Google "Igboid languages" and read up yourself. 4 Likes |

TheUmbra: you could have pointed out the error before attacking the op. before you guys arrived we were all having a nice discussion and I pointed out some errors in his map which he accepted was wrong. it's obvious you are not again this article ,but against his person. I would advice fratermathy to limit his articles to Urhobo/isoko and itsekiri, to avoid been attacked by your likes. Good day. 10 Likes |
