Interesting take. So you would have no problem with Ukwuani-Aboh being described as "Igbo-speaking people". What you reject is being called "Igbo people".

Interesting indeed.
Food / Re: Made This Nsukka Local Delicacy Today! by Probz(m): 2:48am On Jul 19
descarado:

Point of correction.
Achicha is never an Enugu or nsukka delicacy rather igbo delicacy mostly eaten by old anambra people from awka to Enugu, ekwulobia to nsukka.
My grand parents made and ate achicha, they grew up with it and we are not from Enugu state. I even prepared it from scratch in my village.
The same goes with okpa.
What you will rather say is that Enugu state way of making both is more popular and because of that, everybody assumed those delicacies came from Enugu state.
Another example is abacha and ùgba. Imo abacha is the most popular. Anambra eg has their way of making abacha and Enugu is not left out. Asia make like imo but with slight diff in taste.
All these are igbo food enjoyed by igbo people over the centuries. Let's not politicise them.

Wetin ‘consign’ Imo with abacha? What’s that rubbish?

Culture / Re: Umuzocha And Igala by Probz(m): 2:49am On Jun 22
AjaanaOka:


Enebeli and Ojugbeli are actually Ukwuani/Aboh names. You will also find them among Ogbaru people in Anambra State who are cultural cousins of the Ukwuani. I do not know any Igala person who bears these names. But it there are, they borrowed them ultimately from Ukwuani.

Enemona is Igala. It has an Igala meaning and is used by Igala people till date.

The use of Alumona cuts across Nsukka and into the Oshimili-Aniocha axis of Delta State. I have no idea what it means, but the people I asked pointed to Igala as the source. If the name came from the Igala, then it has been altered in Igbo mouths, because the name in that form does not exist in Igala. The "-mona" ending is strongly suggestive of an Igala providence where a number of names with "-mona" endings do exist, eg., Ilemona and the already mentioned Enemona.


Well, the Ibaji people kind of fit what you're thinking here. These were a people on the border area between Kogi, Enugu and Anambra who are essentially a mixture of Igbo and Igala. They spoke both languages with equal facility; and ethnographic information from the last century and the late 19th century suggests that until the hardening of ethnic lines in late Colonial and post-Colonial times, they leaned more towards the Igbo, culturally. Their names seem to have been predominately Igbo (that is changing today), they took Ogbuefi titles and venerated Ikenga. They wouldn't have identified as Igala in precolonial times - but this doesn't mean they would have identified as Igbo either. They were simply Ibaji or Olu - as more hinterland Igbo called them.

So when you speak about some of these "Igala" women already speaking Igbo, you're probably speaking of the Ibaji people. There was a village in Awka that did marry quite a lot from Ibaji: Umubele Village. While Ụmụzocha travelled to Nsukka and the hinterland Igala villages (i.e., the non-riverine parts of Igala), Umubele travelled to the riverine areas north of Onitsha, covering the Anam communities, Ibaji and as far north Idah.

I did meet some of the last of the old generation of Ibaji women married to Umubele name, and I particularly remember one of them who went by a regular old-school Igbo name, but was known to everyone as 'nwanya Igala'.


Have you noticed any Igala imprints on Umuzocha in terms of cultural mannerisms and cuisine, by any chance?

Don’t tell me you are a Christian oo . because , I can show how evil for you to be one .



Meanwhile , you should bother on this below :

How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess!
The curves of your thighs are like jewelry,
the handiwork of a master.
2 Your navel is a rounded bowl;
it never lacks mixed wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
surrounded by lilies.
3 Your breasts are like two fawns,
twins of a gazelle.
