There is no need arguing blindly. We are all igbo.
Thank u very much my blood brother with face cap . Dont mind brainwatch people .my name is Ebele im from Anambra state while Imo people call Ebere but thesame meaning .kelechi and kenechi are thesome names .let some people stop comfusing them self.
We are all Igbos. I am from Anioma and we practice Igbo culture. Look up Wikipedia on how many dialect Igbos have and you will see Ukuwani as one
God bless that bros, you just spoke my mind. We are Ibos. Tell those people to just stop causing troubles.
Hon., U're an intelligent fellow, the name of a people goes a long way to tell the origin of the people, the word 'Ukwuani' is an Igbo word. Ani is an Igbo word that means land, that's what most part of Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi states people call land. Even some parts of Imo and abia call 'ani'. What Kenechi is calling 'Ukwuani' language is dialect. Am from Imo State and heard almost all the things you people said. While there are some communities in Imo state I can't hear their dialects the way I heard yours. There are so many dialects in southeast states I can't understand the way I did understand yours. The issue is that when we gather together every person tries speaking the central Igbo. If you claim that your biological father is not your father that does not change the fact that you came out from his loins; before God and man the fact still remains that you are his offspring. Whether you accept that 'Ukwuani' is Igbo or not the fact still remains that before God and man 'Ukwuani' is of Igbo descent. All none Igbo communities surrounding you still call you Igbo. When you were in Bendel state you were called Igbo Bendel or Bendel Igbo. Really, there is no basis for this argument.
I am from Anambra state nnewi I can hear 80% of everything you said
We are not Igbo
@@tatachaplet7920 You are a confused person.Just imagine how you are making mockery of your ancestry.Ukwuani is igbo if you like go and hug transformer.
@@tatachaplet7920 Then who are you?? You can say you are not Igbo not we.
@@aghanchiifeanyi1904 I was not talking to you and we are not Igbo like I said
Igbos are one❤❤❤ no more political division❤❤
Afam bu Opute, mbu onye Utagba, Ukwuani.
Nde Ukwuani bu ndi igbo. Okwu agwu!!!
Afam bu osadebe mbu onye ogbaru in anambra, but I understand most of ukwuani dialect, I'm from ossomala, we even have so many things in common with abo people of Delta. In my village today plays ukwuani music very well.for ukwuani to say they are not Igbo am confused 😁
Very soon, science through DNA test will solve all these arguments.it will definitely show that most communities in Delta state and Rivera state are ethnic igbos.just give more 20years and science will solve all this problems.i have a friend from ukwuani told me that ukwuani came from igbo.utaagba people.they were using utaagba to hunt .they were hunters
@@kingude484even our kinsmen lost to slave trade are reconnecting back to their Igbo root through DNA.
we understand almost everything you are speaking
i really enjoyed this talk show. we are waiting for more. pls bring more elderly people who know history. thank u for ur effort.
Thank you very much for watching.
Anambra state calls the name Kenechi (same as ukwuani) while Imo and Abia calls it Kelechi.
Does it mean Anambra State is Ukwuani??? lol. Madness is a very bad disease.
Ukwuani people migrated from Anambra
I am an igbo man, I love ukwanni, Ukwani is a dialect of igbo ethnicity. We are one people.
kelechi and kenechi , my brother what is the different ?the same brof . Both means thank God
I love the guy with Hat, he is very intelligent
Wat makes him intelligent
The guy is an igbo immigrant.
This guy on face cap is greatly intelligent. He’s so versatile and knowledgeable. His analysis is absolutely on point. The other guy couldn’t buttress his position with historical facts.
Pls whether you are Igbo, or not the land you are in is Iboland. If you're not an Iboman good, but please prepare to move to the north where you belong
Thank you..wether your Hausa or bini,the land is part of igboland

😂😂😂😂😂😂, I am an ukwani girl, my sis name is Ada-Obi. The central igbo bears same. I don't know why some people deny themselves of their world......i once ask my self this question, that if Nigeria 🇳🇬 should be divided where are the Ukwani's belonging too. They can't say they belong to the isoko Land or hausa, or fulanis because the Ukwani's can never understand any word from them rather they understand the igbo language very well.

@@lisadavid6471 Advise your people
I really enjoyed this conversation. I love Kenechi's explanations. Similarity does not mean sameness. Esan and Bini are similar, Isoko and Urhobo are similar, Itsekiri and Yoruba are similar, yet none of these two are the same. The same applies to Igbo and Ukwuani. What makes a language a dialect is that it must be intelligible by others who speak a similar dialect.
I'm from Abia state and I understand your dialect clearly. My brother putting on black cap u r 100% correct
That bro with face cap is so wise everything u said is so correct
Ukwuani is Igbo. I'm from the Eastern side but I understand 💯% of everything they said. The man on face cap is right while the other man is confused.
Exactly oh , you are not igbo but me that is from Anambra state understood about 80% of what dey said and My name is Kenechi and not kelechi, bur 8n real sense Kenechi and kelechi has the same meaning( which means praise God) that Kenechi guy is just saying beautiful Nonsense with pride oh and he was even calling the other guy an igbo man as If being igbo is a curse..God and our Ancestors deliver your children from this madness oh..
@@chisomdenny3701 that you don't accept his ideology does make him a mad person, choose your words carefully..... manners matters in all that we do.
Isn't this crazy, I'm a proud Igbo and I've never heard Ukwuani before yet I could follow this program without interpretation. That tells you the whole story.
But most igbo says they don't understand ukwani that means u people are pretending not to understand or as a form of belittling our dialect.
@@ndukaanalogbei1043 as with all Igbo dialects, when you hear it for the first time it can sound strange but if you pay attention and the speakers takes it a bit slow, you’ll see that it’s intelligible and Igbo
Honestly , I would say most Igbo people do not thoroughly understand this dialect. But they can get the gist, because a lot of words are similar. Some igbos that live around Asaba and Onitsha, and around the Low Niger River can catch on more easily because there dialect is closer to Ukwuani.
I am from Umuebu - Obiaruku living in South Africa. I attended University of Nigeria Nsukka. Ukwuani is a dialect in Igbo language. Aragba is Ukwani with Urhobo accent. We not Binis. Mbu onye ekule nyini oba idu

Always sweet to listen to this intelligent Honourable
Very interesting debate, both have their points just need to marry them together to present the facts. Everyone comes from somewhere but where you find yourself, make your life and make your home after some many years is how most people inherit their origin.
You're right.
How do people think? This is like saying Ekiti people are not Yorubas because they have slight intonation with other Yorubas...Even in England the people of London don't speak or have same accent as the people of Liverpool or Manchester or even Birmingham but you won't hear then coming to say that they are not England's....the only difference here is the accent/intonation as imo, abia, anambra, ebonyi and enugu won't speak the same way even within all these states I have mentioned, each village's have different accent. The people of eha amufu don't have same accent/intonation as the people of nsukka but they are still Igbo's...na wa oo
The man on hat how I wish you can enlighten us more
Who is from Ossissa here ?
So educative,Ukwuani is Igbo
Kenechi vs Kelechi...it’s just dialectical difference. They both mean the same thing - “Thank God”.
There’s also Ifeanyi and Iheanyi. Many parts of Imo and Abia will say Iheanyi. Anambra, Enugu, Delta-Igbo will say Ifeanyi (current Delta state Governor’s name is Ifeanyi). Does it mean Imo and Abia are not Igbo?
Ukwuani speaks a dialect of Igbo, just like Onitsha, Owerri, etc. have their own unique dialects.
U are right my dear, I am an ukwani. And I say that ukwani is igbo people
@@lisadavid6471 many of your people are living in delusions by claiming that you people are not Igbos. Your Igbos is not different from Nsukka people and I believe that is where you people came from because your Igbo dialect is not too different from Nsukka Igbo.
Leonard Orji Offor you talk the truth . I understand nsukka very well. I’m from ika.
@leonard u don't force an identity on people just like the Scottish are not English. So u're d delusional one here.
This guy on face cap keep on helping our brothers and sisters out from their identity crisis. Shame on those that will buy into the narrative of the other confused man.
Why can't people leave igbo people Alone.? This Obsetion with igbo " matter is really Annoying and becoming Stale. The Most discussed Tribe in the World 🌎. Is igbo. If you are not igbo then Mention your tribe and tribesmen and discuss your common issues and leave igbo Alone. Find Something doing, than, igbo this and that. Never heard people say am not Fulani or am not yoruba, and hundreds of Languages in Nigeria, no Mention about them only Igbo Everytime. Leave Us Alone.
This is a very serious identify crisis. How can two people from the same town be having disputes about their ethicity? This is a big big problem for the up coming generation. They do not exactly agree on thier own origin. I can't imagine two people from say Owerri arguing if Owerri people are Igbo or efik... this is a monumental identity problem
Igbos migrated to their land. They not igbo and they are not biafra.
@@gentlemanedotv
Biafra is defunct. What they speak is pure Igbo clearer than what Ebonyi and Enugu Igbo speak. Their culture is pure Igbo - ikenga,osu,market days, new yam festival etc.

This Ukwuani dialect is more central Igbo than some languages in the eastern states,...I understand this Ukwuani dialect more than Nsukka igbo,Abiriba igbo,Mbaise igbo, Most of towns in Ebony States like Ikwo Izza,Abakileke and many towns in igbo Land. We all have our own dialects, we speak central Igbo when we leave our town of origin

Are you igbo or from idu?
the problem of this boy is that he never traveled in igbo land he will see that he speak igbo more than many igbos in south East
O traveled outside ukwuani, ibadan and lagos language differs just like the igboid counterpart
Why this identity crisis? I'm from "far away" Abia but I understood the conversion almost 100%. I have my own dialect but that doesn't make me any less Igbo. Kenechi is just confused.
*conversation
Same here bro .. am from Imo I understand 90% of what the discussion is...
I am from Udi and my dialect is different from Nsukka dialect and we never argued about beiing Igbo or not
Ukwuani is igbo brother. Just different of pronunciation, just like ABAKALAKA from other igbo speaking areas
If you check very in the Ukwani's speaking, it might look little different in pronunciation of words but it means things in the central igbo land

Here in Holland, their accents differ like in IGBO LAND. In the UK, their english differ! The Dutch spoken in HOLLAND differs from the one spoken in BELGIUM, yet we learn Dutch language with HOLLAND DUTCH text books. Same applies to French language in France etc.
The same IGBO LANGUAGE, but different accents - Igbo ukwu kwenu !
That's called dialect.
See my brother you are just speaking lgbo 💯 o/o
I think the environment one find himself/herself after so many years determines the way he / she pronounces a word and the way his/ her dialect sounds, that we the Igbo speaking people pronounce words differently and our dialects sounds differently doesn't mean that we are not Igbos from the same father e.g, if you have a relation who have been away from your village for so many years and comes back the way he/ she will pronounce words in your language will not be the same as you that have been in your village all this while, that Ukwuani Igbo man dialect is different from Orlu Igbo man doesn't mean that they are not Igbo men, udo chia na ala/ ani Igbo, ka Chineke mezie okwu, isee.
I studied linguistics ma... And I can tell you for a fact that when it comes to language, distance and influence from other cultures affect the language, but this dialectal difference is usually in the vocabulary, phonology sometimes spelling but all speakers of the language are mutually intelligible.
Dialect is simply a variety of a particular language.
State creation and division and cultural interaction with other ethnic groups has affected them and also caused identity confusion .
British , Americans , Canadians and Australians speak similar/same dialects that does not make them a single nationality or in our context a single ethnicity. Ethnicity is a different concept entirely from dialectic similarities. Ethnicity represents the unique heritage of a people; history, record of lineages , record of affiliations, record of even wars etc kept and preserved by them alone so it is not polluted or blemished. A British cannot stand up and say or claim he is a custodian or spokesman of the Australian heritage . They are only relatives or cousins and lets be careful of the of a particular group and their narcissistic tendencies. The goal of narcissism is always to emasculate other peoples heritage. We relate with them as relatives or cousins which we in actuality are and that is as far as it should go but we are not please and please and please and please again ethinc igbos. Our forebears never with emphasis on the word never handed the igbo heritage to us and we are therefore not custodians of the igbo heritage . We are profound custodians of the ukwuani heritage and as such conferred with all authorities over that heritage giving us precedence in projecting, promoting, preserving and passing the beautiful heritage over to the next generation. The day a british rises up to attempt to project the american heritage as essentially a british heritage because of some twisted notion of history and geography should be the day the American remembers the charge and duty he owes to preserving his heritage. If not it will be blemished. Lets be wise!
Ukwuani are igbos.,they are the first to settle in ukwuani that's why names of towns and igbo language and culture predominate..the Binin people due to proximity came to mix with them to alter the dialect and culture which is normal in every tribe...ibo is what the European explorer called us,igbo is the correct spelling. Enugu is what European called it,enugwu is the correct spelling. ..kenechi and kelechi are dialects differences and all mean thank God . .Ifeanyi and iheanyi are dialects differences and is all thesame thing...one thing is sure,igbos know there territory and will not give up any part of there land...one love
You make a lot of sense.
Keep wasting your time. The same greed make Ojukwu to lose the war.
@@frankgorenc3337 is not for both of us to be talking here.when the time comes u will know...ojukwu faught for all igbos wether your in delya or rivers state.he was never greedy because the same oil people thought was the reason why he fought is in the hands of hausa fulani since independence. So who is greedy. Read history,the people of onitsha, anioma, ika, ukwuani are all brothers and children of Ezechima who was escaping from Benin then settled in all those places.
@@blacktruthtelevisions They migrated in different phases, not only the children of Ezechima that formed those places.
There are large numbers of Benin, esan and Igala that also make up the Ika, Enuani and Ukwani group. How will it look like if Benin people started claiming Ika and Ukwani?
Ika is Ika, Ukwani is Ukwani, Igbo is Igbo. Don't try to change our identity.
Igbo that doesn't know where they came from want to tell others their identity.
Was there anything like Igbo 3 hundred years ago?
@@frankgorenc3337 lol..don't be frustrated. What gives a people an identity is 1.names they bear,meaning of the name in the tribe,name of towns,culture they practice and language they speak...everything about western igbos is the same with mainland igbos..does your names and towns have any meaning in any other tribe asides igbos?..what your doing is self denial and your igbo brothers don't even care..people are grouped based on cultural similarities. All igbos are progeny of NRI including Ezechima. That's where igbos come from. However others may have other origins. Abiriba people are said to migrate from calabar. But what binds igbos irrespective of where you come from is culture, language, common names and proximity. If Nigeria is to return to regional government all igbos will be grouped one place including igbos in rivers and delta state..including yourba in kogi and kwara who say they are not yoruba .the reason is for monocultural and monolingual people to be in one place...
Smh! The stupidity of this aboki cap guy is mind-boggling. Just for a minute consider his disgraceful, distasteful, shameless, and unimaginably ignorant Kelechi/Kenechi analogy!
And then just when I thought he'd stop his stupidity there, he went further to claim that only Ukwuanis bear Ossai as name, something very common in nearby Enugu state. If that isn't madness I don't know what is! The young man surely has the right to be whoever he wants, but that doesn't change the fact that he clearly needs an education!
you can put ur opinion without insult
Francis Surveyor I’m not sure such extremely unintelligent argument deserves an opinion. It’s slightly more probable that my insults may push him to educate himself, and learn to articulate arguments. I have no problem with any Ukwuani person choosing a non-Igbo identity, but if you should come out publicly to make a case for such decision, then it should at least make sense.
There are 62 towns and communities in Anioma from Abah to Otuoku, all speaking Igbo just as being used in this forum. The mother and father who birthed a child would teach the offspring the language they speak down to the dialect.
I LOVE this show. Pls keep it up
Thank you.
Please brother, try upload more of this discussion, cos I have been very confused as well about who we really are you see. I love the breakdown of the high chief, even kenechi, but I personally think the high chief did more justice to the topic. Unfortunately I didn't get the whole video , it ended when the high chief was giving the meaning of ossai, as he was also rudely interrupted. My surname is OSSAI and to be honest with you, I don't know the meaning of ossai. I have tried to ask my father what OSSAI means, but I don't think he knows himself, my dad also has the same definition as kenechi. I think you should always future high chief in your videos, cos I really like the way he analysis things. Your second video I watched was that of the Dr. Rev..... Man I don't agree totally to some of his theory about ukuwani people. We need to start a movement and I think you can go far with your platform. Please let's start a movement. I greet you. Thank you so much for your initiatives. One love brother.
Thank you sir. Be rest assured that the inquiry will continue until facts are put straight. Are are proud of who we are, and it gives us pleasure to promote us (Ukwuani).
@@chrispassing4875
It's important and imperative that you must extract the meaning from your dad while he's still alive , if not you drop the name ossai completely. He cannot just name you Ossai because it's sweet to him. All over the world people's names have meanings. Take it as an assignment to know the meaning without delay. Kind regards.
This is a comic relief for me, I have listened to it countless times and each I have always wondered how real a supposedly educated man reasons lke an animal.
All this things happened because Biafra, and they don't want to experience war again.

I'm from Arochukwu in Abia state, but I understand everything you people are talking. In the case of kelechi and kelechi, they all mean the same meaning. Anambra people will say kenechi and Abia and imo state people will say kelechi. Both simply mean thank God. 20:18
Good job,Hon.Gilbert.
They should have given them more time... interesting debate. The igbos are bigger than the Benin and our ukwani language is closer to ibo. Pls, let's continue with this debate. Am from umuaja but in Deutschland. Nice channel.

The Igbo dialect that Ukwani people speak is clearer to the ears than that of Abriba, Ohafia, Afikpo or Ikwerre. These are all called dialects.

This people are suffering from identity lost. Sorry brothers you are missing the point
Kenechi or Kelechi have the same Igbo meaning. Even in South East, some say 'afam' others say 'aham'. Both the same meaning.
Yeah
The argument is confusing. Because I can not agree that am from igbo but when I speak ukwuain, igbo person can not understand what am saying. But if igbo person speak I will understand so I disagree that ukwuain is not igbo
Rubbish
I am from abiA state over 200 kilometres from delta and I have never been to Ukwuani but I heard and understood 95% of what they said. What do you say about it?Ukwuani is a dialect of igbo.
Is your ukwuani different from the one he is speaking? Because this is clearer than what Ngwa people speak or Ebonyi people speak. Ukwuani is plain to understand.
This brainwashing has really eaten up the reasoning of this our brothers and sisters. Have you ever asked yourselves where the name Ukwuani originated from? This is not rocket science my dear. Even the Integral customs of the Ukwuani people which is Omenani points them to the Igbos. In Igbo it is called Omenani as well. Some Igbo dialects call it Omenala. Chei!!! You can choose to be whoever you wish but the truth about your real Identity will always keep starring at you In the face. Thank GOD for Social media.
Ukwuani dialect of Igbo is very easy to understand than the Afikpo dialect of Igbo. You can try speaking Bini to sooth your soul. Abriba people say pusa as in Ife opusara ya pusa,
Just to correct a fact
IBO and IGBO
IBO is referred to any person(male or female) who speaks Igbo language, which means IBO is the person while Igbo is the language generally regardless of the variety or dialect, which is why linguistic researchers prefer calling it the IGBOIOD language
Thanks for this enlightenment...
There's no such thing is Ibo in Igbo. Igbo is Igbo whether for a person or the language. Ibo is merely a corruption of the word IGBO
European colonialists called ibo as they don't have and couldn't pronounce "gb" Igbo alphabet.
There’s nothing like Ibo. It is Igbo for language, Igbo for ethnicity, and Igbo for the person. Nothing like Ibo.

I'm Igbo and i followed the conversation. That would not have been possible if Ukwuani was not Igbo. The guy on the right oa intelligent and a rare gem. As for the guy on the left, i was disappointed when he said Ukwuani is not Igbo because his name is Kenechi and not Kelechi as if there are no Kenechis in the South East and Kelechis in Ukwuani.
@@jamesorji5973 well even if they are or not we the refer as igbo is not begging because igbo tribe children born with white women all over the world the population is many and many be more than this people population that are saying they are not igbo tribe thanks bro
Am from okuzu in Amambra state my brothers name is kenechi or kenechukwu that guy is confuse
Mr Obi, what do you mean by Ijaw?
Afamefuna Orji 😂😂😂 he’s confused. He said it with so much conviction too. I’ll be happy to entertain the delusion though. He’s not Igbo yet my Igbo ears understand him.
Brother with face cap you are write
@@patriciaoguamaka5670 your explanation lack reasoning. .language, culture, meaning of name,naming of town is what makes a people one...ukwuani are igbos...Senegal speak French but they are not from France..the difference is Senegal have there indigenous language and culture. .ukwuani speak igbo its not a borrowed language.
@@blacktruthtelevisions you guys should leave ukwani alone and face your Eastern state abeg. . What's the meaning of all these ukwani is igbo, igbo is ukwani drama.? If it is about your Biafra, the you guys going the wrong way. Your south eastern states is enough to form your own country na😑
@@Christianchinedu789 that's where your getting it wrong..dn't be a brainwashed igbo ...being igbo has nothing to do With biafra..rejecting being igbo doesn't remove the fact We all occupy igbo speaking territory. ..igbo is igbo..if your not igbo apply for a name change and stop confusing the public. .people are being deceived by state creation. .there are igbos in rivers and delta..same way there are Yoruba in kwara and kogi...it's a mistake made during state creation. .
@@blacktruthtelevisions Its not a mistake but it was intentional though incorrect. They know what they were doing and why they did it.
@@Christianchinedu789 You are very wrong in your analysis. This has nothing to do with Biafra. This has everything to do with Igbo people and Igbo Land. These people are speaking Igbo yet the silly fool called kelechi is speaking Igbo and denying his Igboness. Ukwuani is a place and not a tribe. Don't get it twisted.
The olodo don't know that Nsukka, Oguta and Ndoni answer Ossai
😂😂😂
Every town migrated from somewhere. If you make your research properly, you will discover that some of the quarters in your town migrated from different places,and come together to become a town.
I am from Isheagu, but a particular quarter came from okpai in ukwani. Today all of us are Isheagu,and we are from Aniocha. The first settlers in Isheagu are from Awka in Anambra. Our language/ dialect sounds like that of ukwani. Every Isheagu indigene speaks ukwani fluently If he/ her want speak. So ukwani is from Igbo.
Thank you very much sir
You are welcome.
Why Ndokuwa call Delta igbo
This is insane, I can sense high level of timidity. How could you be speaking clearly Igbo more understandable than someone from Ebonyi, Ohafia, Wawa, Enugu, and you here to say you're Ukwuani not Igbo. Even the Ukwuani is typical Igbo word. Don't you people understand that every Igbo land has it's local accents ?
It's somehow annoying to know that some people are this naive and primitive and uneducated not to know where they come from. You speak the language, bear the name and have other cultures alike and you still say you're not from where you from, it is just a self hate. Trying to convince this type is like flogging a goat
Thats how Eboyi will one day say we're Ebonyi not Igbo b/c they speak Igbo in Chinese voice. My name is kenechi not kelechi😒 Is time to bring an Abriba man, Ngwa man, Ohafia man , Aguleri man, Ikwerre man, Echei man and Imo man let them have a conversation together in Igbo language let's see if they won't understand each other.🙄 Iberiberism according to Rochas Okorocha.
Dialectical differences do not mean language differences. Ukwuani itself is an Igbo word. In some Igbo dialects, it is spelt Ukwu-ala. It is Ukwuani in Anambra dialect. The unwholesome role of brutal Benin kings helped to create today's ambiguity in Western igboland through their military exploits of their vulnerable neighbors who are mostly Igbos.
I beg to disagree , that is your own version of history . IT does not account for the migrations of the stock igbos from heartland east and below the Niger. Communities like the ukwuani communities had inhabitants and clans edoid/iduoid in origin before the influx of the Igbos and at other arrival periods. Nnamdi Azikiwe hinted of this in one of his books relating to his own part. This peddle of half and proxy history does not go down with people like me. People like me believe the true, total and complete history of an heritage should be told. These communities where not aboriginally igbos and by extension are not ethnic igbos.
Great Kenechi is a corporate intellectual
It’s not relevant in today’s Nigeria.
Ken echo is right, because the likes of Umukwata, Amai and Abbi are brothers from Benin
And they are speaking Igbo dialects instead of bini language. Their names, towns and villages bear Igbo names.
Oba Benin is not a native of Benin kingdom he is from Ile Ife. Ukwani ,Ika , Aniocha, Oshimili we all are Igbo . My father is from Ika Agbor my mother is umukwatta Ukwani . All our Anioma region people are Igbo our kings and sherans are planted by the oba of Benin after the conquest of our people in our Anioma people. Ukwani Ika Aniocha Oshimili are Igbo. Our mothers we call NNE that is the beginning we have the same language we understand ourselves we do not need translators to understand ourselves if we listen very well. Even our music is same !!! Some other tribes that came to settle among us during the conquest of the Benin empire try to divide us they can not divide then not even now. We are Igbo
This is quite revealing. Thank you
We are hearing all you are saying
The igbos don't even accept the Igbozor people of Asaba as Igbos so what makes you think they will go as far and accepting the Ukwuani as Igbos.
Next thing now someone will say the Ika people of Agbor and the Aboh people are Igbos.
A very pointless argument!
Yes Enugu people name Ossai, Kelechi you’re talking nonsense
I'm from Emu Uno, my mother is Anambra state
Yes Ukwani is not igbo 👌🦍
Oh wow... really? I think you're missing some history lessons
Ukwu=foot, ani=land If not Igbo, then provide the contrary version or Bini version.
Another uniformed and confused commenter.
Now listen, history has it that some Igbos were sold to then Benin empire as slaves and as such they interacted with the Benin people and it affects the language causing dialectal difference, cultural differences but after the invasion of the Benin empire some of these slaves migrated and settled in some parts of delta as we have it today and continued to interact with other cultural groups.
You should understand that the more the distance and cultural mix up and interaction, the more the dialectal difference. This makes it a variety of one language and is mutually intelligible to speakers of same language despite their cultural differences which may be due to geographical situation and dialectal differences.
Now if ukwuani and the others like them chooses to alienate themselves from their Igbo origin so be it then and let them continue to identify with the Benin as the slaves that they were as this is a clear case of deliberate mental Slavery which is obviously for political reasons.
