It is not about what part of Anambra... The truth is that in igbo land Anambra is the first person and state in terms of busineess, education, development, commerce and culture

The dialect is the best ... Even other states of Igbo accept this ... So you can argue

Which dialect in Anambra are you talking about here. To the best of my knowledge there are many igbo dialects and sub dialects in Anambra. Is it Awka, or Ogbaru, or Oru or Onicha etc

If by Bini you mean Edo then you would be right since Anioma are Edo. Also, now it seems you are just talking only to talk and not to make sense.

Inferiority complex on the loose again. Lol! Elevating yourself due to insecurity. So what is the fears. Learn to limit this inferiority to your clans. Words like Anambra and Imo are nebulous and foreign to us.

"Lamdgrabbers" isn't that the reputation the Igbos have all over Nigeria ? You guys should take a look at a mirror from time to time. Nobody is more a landgrabber than the Igbo. So you calling anybody landgrabber is just like Hitler calling a deer hunter "murderer".

Please, what can you contribute ? You arent Igbo , are you ? Do you speak Igbo ?

Those with inferiority complex always hide behind the nebulous word Anambra to hide their insecurity. I’m yet to hear people use the word Imo man, Enugu man, Delta man, Rivers man etc to propagate inferiority complex.

The central Anambra dialect spoken in Awka and Onicha. Just like the central Igbo dialect spoken in Asaba, the Enuani.

Awka dialect is more closer to what is spoken in Oji river Enugu than Onitsha.

Bros. This is not a Nigeria vs Biafra war thread. It’s not a thread on your hometown Owerri Vs Orlu.

It’s like an exhibition thread on Orlu senatorial district. Orlu is the heart of Igbo land.

Eastern Palm university in Ogboko, Ideato South in Orlu senatorial zone.

You have earned yourself another feather, insincerity. You cried river on this forum not long ago that Orlu urban or Orlu senatorial district has nothing to show for its position in Imo State. Suddenly, another well-meaning Orlu chap has woken you up from a deep slumber with slides of progress in Imo west. Anyway, you were not tagged village tout for nothing. I suggest you should not indicate your father’s compound with a left hand regardless of the hardship.

Anambra man again. Lol! Did you see me use the term Imo man to describe myself? I use Orlu because its more unique to me geographically than the nebulous word Imo man. And when you come to Orlu zone, I’ll tell you that I’m an Umuaka man with Isu heritage. Luckily our ancestors kept our oral history intact.

Stop saying what you don't know. Awka is related to Onitsha in dialect, never Oji River or any part of Enugu state. In Awka and Onitsha dialect you will find similar words like "ife", "isi, etc, something people of Oji don't speak . My problem with some of you people is that you guys always wanna tell Anambra people their hstory and origin, which you don't know.

Juicegal:
You are also correct. Parts of Nnewi south , Ekwusigo, and all of Ihiala LGAs used to be under Orlu division of Owerri Province. Their dialects are also almost the same with Orsu, Orlu and Oru which are border LGAs in Imo state. A lot of kith and kins were separated while states were being apportioned. For example, Orsumoghu in Anambra and Umuhuokabia(Lazarus Mouka community) in Imo states are brothers same as isseke - Ibiasiegbe -Amorka, Ubulu yet partitionrd into different states.

In bold:

Exactly. Even when new state was about to be created in the South east around 2006, political leaders in these parts of Nnewi and whole of Ihialla local government area opted to join Njaba state proposal with the 12 local government areas in Orlu senatorial zone.

This tells me you havent travelled widely in Anambra. There are big and very diverse differences between the dialects spoken in central Anambra compared to North and south Anambra. If an Nzam man or even Aguleri speaks his dialect the Ozobulu Ojoto Aloh, Agulu man go look am somehow. Same with parts of ihiala that speaks Oru. This mutuality and differences cross in between states especially among border communities.

But this video proves otherwise? Onitsha dialect is similar to what is spoken in Asaba. Awka dialect is similar to what is spoken in Oji River. An Awka man cannot run from his neigbour in Oji river to form kinship with a man in far away Onitsha.

The migration in these areas went southward not the other way. You had spill over into Imo from people whose original home land was in Anambra.

Igbo migration went southward and the dialectical shift is there as a proof. For instance , as you go south from Idenmili you will notice the towns in Idenmili south like Awka Etiti, Oraukwu , Nnobi begins to sound a bit like the Anaedo dialects fo Ekwusigo and Nnewi north.

This area is Orlu- gedegwum town(Ishiobiuwku) starting from the local govt office at Enugu road down to Eluama and Abor village bordered by Amike Town . I wrote about them in my thread on the origin of the Orlu nomenclature. People from this place find it hard to tell outsiders even in Orlu LGA that they are from Orlu Town. They will always be asked what part of Orlu. Lol

It’s believed that people from that place don’t engage in political discourse. And they are very few in population anyway.

Lol! It really baffles me how someone with an alien language to the Anioma will still rush to claim kinship with them. There are Edoid groups in Degema, Yenagoa etc with similar language as his people yet you won’t see them claim relationship with those group. In due time, the Benin’s will tell us what they buried in Anioma that they are yet to collect. Classic case of landgrabbing at its finest.

For example. "Leave this place" in central Anambra is " si ebea puo".

In Owerre Ezukalla, Ogbunka, Umunze and Nkerehi(Umuchukwu), it is "Shi kaa fuo" , and that's exactly how it is said in Isuochi and Eziama in Umunneochi.

The popular Igbo food called "Abacha" in Central Igbo is called "Ighu" in this part of Orumba south in Anambra and Umunneochi in Abia and are prepared alike.

You could not be more correct. I stayed in Umuaku, affer Amuda in Isuochi. A person can throw a stone from Umuaku in Isuochi, Abia State to Owerre Ezukalla, Orumba Ananmbra State.

You obviously don't know anything about Anambra dialects. Focus on your Imo state and stop trying to discuss what you don't know. Awka has nothing in common in language and culture with Oji man. Pay more attention on your estate agent work.
