sexyhalima: Kalabari people are Ijaw by ethnicity but many of them speak Igbo as second or first language. Whether 'nkpuru' or 'mkpuru' it is all the same meaning. Just note that not too many people are fluent in writing standard Igbo, thus you see people spelling words differently. I studied Igbo in secondary school and the standard spelling is 'mkpuru'. 2 Likes |

why do the kalabari speak igbo is omugwo a kalabari word aswell as igbo? |
Re: IGBO PEOPLE - What Does This Mean by bigfrancis21: 7:19pm On Jan 10, 2020 |
sexyhalima: A lot of Rivers state Ijaw men marry Igbo women and many of these men themselves have Igbo mothers and grandmothers and grow up speaking Igbo. When these men end up marrying full Igbo women, you can only guess what the language outcome would be. Omugwo is an Igbo word, not Kalabari. 1 Like |
