Ofodirinwa:


AYE/Iye/Ayi is still igbo for woman but an old term. Hence Nwa-ayi = woman, Nwa-iye = Wife, Ndi-Iye = Elder women.

Omu/Umu same word. Omu is even on the arochukwu flag

ZZ22:
Same way we have the name Okoronkwo/Okonwo a man born on Nkwo market day, Okorie/Okoye a man born on Orie/Oye market day and Okeke from Eke market day.

Efewestern hope you have been schooled for free here so throw that your Bini imprint mentality to dustbin and next time you see these names never you think, add or suffix anything Bini to it.

Ofodirinwa:


I'm proud that the igbos in this thread are discussing linguistics and history while the others are just being ethnic and small minded.

Unless of course you're not igbo then ndo

Collyweed:


Correct. Interestingly groups like Igala (which is technically Yoruba), Nupe, Idoma and probably others belong to the same group. That is like well over 60% of the country.

oyatz:


Okunrin (Yoruba)= Okoro (Bini)= Okoro (Igbo)= MAN.

Okorodudu (Urhobo)= Okunrin dudu (Yoruba)= Okoroji (Igbo)

Okuta( Yoruba) = Okute (Itsekiri)= Okwute= Igbo


Yoruba-Bini-Itsekiri-Urobo/Isoko-Ika-Ikwerre- Ekpeye-Igbo represent a language continum.

In the distant past, we spoke the same language.

Efewestern:


You just like the Bkay guy aren't open to proper cultural discussion. I ended his conversation because I knew where it was driving to. I don't want to be caught in the web of your ethno-centric iisshh.

You can believe whatever you want to believe.

BKayy:

LOL.
Isoko friend called "Okorafo"
Nigerians no go finish me with laugh

JANK23H:

History discussed are all subtle attempt to connect everyone in sight to Igbo,there isn't any sincerity in these discussions.

We cannot all be Igbos!

onumadu:
This thread has been very educating regardless of complexes littered all over it.
When MNK said that "[s]everybody from Igodomigodo to Calabar are either Igbo or related to Igbo"[/s],

---

this is the point he was really trying to make.
Nevertheless, truth is that most Igbo today don't give a flying fck either way.
All we want is peace within ourselves and with our neighbors.
Thank you all for the open non-forced discussion!

JANK23H:

The slaves to most Niger Delta tribes making themselves important.You should be thankful to the British for making you all relevant.

BKayy:

You Minorities should be thankful to the British.
No need to wonder why most of you can fit into Ifeanyi Ubah mini stadium

JANK23H:

The British with a few millions dominated the world.What has population got to do with it.Share the link to that screenshot and let's scrutinize.

No give me half chop.

BKayy:

Tell me the name of one slave trader from your side, Urhobo, Isoko or Ijaw.
Just one.
Everything was documented my dear.
It was not folk tale or myths. It happened in 19th century.
You lots were hunted by the confederacy like Bush rats. It was when you lots were near extinction that the hinterland was considered

JANK23H:




Ask Reno Omokri to give you one,or go to Ijaw lands to find out.

BKayy:

Ijaw doesn't have land.
Reno was disgraced by One Ogbonnaya dude.

JANK23H:

I suppose we float in the air.

BKayy:

You were British porters then. Restricted to British ships

JANK23H:

You didn't disappoint in your response.

We traded with the Portuguese centuries before the slave trade.All the time,Igbos were running around naked with their schlong swing from side to side.

Ekealterego:

Raise your IQ a lil bit and add academically and logically to the discussion. Just in case you don't know, Yoruba, Igbo, Edo, Igala ALL belonged to one proto-language.

In southern Nigeria, the only isolated or different language are the Ijoid languages.

I mean I hope this is not the first time you are learning this? If so, then I apologize. Now sit and learn.

JANK23H:

I suppose we float in the air.

BKayy:

You could have posted Wikipedia so that we will be sure that you have no clue.

Which part of you were not existing before 19th century did you not understand?
You even want to ride on Ubani history.
An Igbo community history.
That's Shameless I must say

What you posted are from Britannica (the blue headliner gave you out, you didn't crop it out)
Anyways the article is a third person compilation (a revision) done not too far.
Even from the revision, some things still stood out, the Ubani eyewitness account from the German doctor who confirmed that they are Igbo and even refused teaching him the Igbo language.
As for Okirika and Nembe who are Brass people?
Are you kidding me?
Who do you think you are talking to?
Do I look like Nigerian Educated Illiterates to you?
When talking about real history, don't give me that crap of calling Brass that was recognised as an Independent Country and Brass people as Ijaw. Don't do that

isokomarine:
Isoko Communities in Bayelsa state, they formed ward 14, constituency 3 of sagbama local government area, most of them are Osekwenike , Abuetor , Ogbokiri-ama , Osifo , Ikpide, Kanan, Anibeze, these communities are called okugbe isoko Kingdom which is being ruled by His Royal Majesty Dr. Frank okorakpo,
We believe we conclusively proved to the general public that it was completely mistaken in the allegations, we are therefore disappointed to read from this forum the submissions by the Ndigbo claim over Osekwenike and Abuetor.
No individual or group can coerced the Isoko land into igbo self claim territory or any other territories,
The isoko nation will resist any attempted to annex any isoko community, the attempt to steal the Isoko ancestral land by any ethnic group. Must stop immediately or such action will be considered as act of war.
