Foreign language in our midst...Eke nweohia......ohia..and you want us to accept such....have you heard anything like Ohia in anambra state?

Are you okay?

Be guided.

SLAP44:


Your trying to use being an Anambra person to deceive people, is pathetic. Because you are a northerner like Dan fodio.

Eke nwe ohia is both Imo, Ihiala Anambra, Abia, Enugu and Ohaozara and Ivo Ebonyi.

You may have grown up in Onitsha you fulani man but you still have a lot to learn.

MelesZenawi:




Ohia is not an anambra word and hardly you will see even a two year old child use it.

That's how You people wants to invade us with foreign languages that are alien to us.

What is Ohia...come down to omambala and check if you will here any such sound as. Ohia....not possible.

Blackboard is. Different from reality and you want to diminish our tongue by introducing foreign tongues in our midst.

Chineke ekwena......Ohia is not used here pls.

Be guided.

Better learn Igbo before disgracing yourself here. Similar dialect is spoken from Nnewi South and Ihiala down to Imo State. The central Igbo adopted in those areas matters less but the dialect stays same.[/s]

How does an Ihiala man in Anambra pronounce "bush?

Of course you won't know. The Igbo language you picked from listening to people in Onitsha didn't cover that one [/s]

I kula jii? Alright. I can now answer your question with great detail, so do pay attention. Anyone who researches even the slightest thing about Ngwa learns relatively quickly that we have a term for any and all things "non-Ngwa" (ohnuhnu). I do not know the story of how Ohuhu clan (of Umuahia) got it's name, so I cannot say if it is related to our own use of ohnuhnu.

Anyhow, "ohnuhnu" in Ngwa parlance has two usages. The original one refers to the name we ascribed to Ehilihita, Oke, Okwuato, Ahiara, Nguru (in short, the greater part of Mbaisne), and Alulu, Uvuru Ntu, Mbutu Okahia, Umuohiagu, Obiangwu, etc. (Ngo Okpuala) communities. There are many more communities in this cluster that can be named, but you get my point. These are the communities that we consider as part of original/ancestral kinship. This is the original Ngwa/Mbaisne cluster. Any one of the communities in this Ngwa/Mbaisne cluster that is found on the west side of the Imo is referred to as "Ohnuhnu". Any one of the communities in this Ngwa/Mbaisne cluster that is found on the east side of the Imo is referred to as "Ngwa". That is the original usage.

Overtime, new people started to make their way into this area in different waves. Considering the time period for these waves, many of them were probably refuges, fleeing the effects of the transatlantic slave trade in their area. Since the west side of the Imo (Ohnuhnu) referred to these waves of new people as "Isoma", it is likely the case that they were mostly Isu and maybe other smaller groups who may not have been Isu, but resided in the Isu cultural zone. The east side of the Imo (Ngwa) referred to these waves of new people as "ohnuhnu", because they made their way into the area from Ohnuhnu's side of the river. That is the second usage of "ohnuhnu" in Ngwa parlance.

As time went on, the colonial period came and more people from northern Igbo ethnolinguistic groups to people outside of the Igbo ethnolinguistic region started showing up to work and live in Aba, Osisioma, Isiala Ngwa, etc. The term "ohnuhnu" grew to then incorporate all these new people and now "ohnuhnu" means any and everything that is not Ngwa (and also not part of the original Ngwa/Mbaisne cluster).

As a side note: Asa, Ndoki, Etche and Ikwerre communities are not included in the "ohnuhnu" (non-Ngwa) definition. Asa and Ndoki communities can also be seen as joining in using the term "ohnuhnu" to refer to the new non-indigenes (Igbo and non-Igbo) in the area.

There. That is the story. I hope that clears it up for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

We are talking of known dialects, you are bringing igbo izugbe into an important corrections....are we in classroom?....which Nnewi south?

Ohia is a configured Igbo Izugbe and hardly used here unless in classrooms.

Simple.
