So idu people in anambra state are also igbo Bcaz they speak similar language like igbo now makes them igbo confused set of people go to Cameron and some others Africa country the people also speak similar language like igbo too even in benin republic alot of them speak Yoruba does that make them Yoruba...go and read your history very well and get to understand how igbo language was spread through Christianity in 18century

There is nothing like fake Igbo or original Igbo... I am from Enugu State and i speak Both Ewe Dialect and also central Igbo. When I speak Ewe Dialect I also get the same... What kind of Igbo is that? If the person want to know the dialect i will respond calmly but if he or she is being rude I will put them in their place... The reason why most people think the Igbo of the south east speak one Igbo language is because we all learned to speak central Igbo for easier communication otherwise it would have been the same thing with other Igbo outside of south east.. The bottom line is that we all have our own native Igbo dialect and still speak central Igbo.. Igbo of most people from Delta state are even more central than most of us in the south east... But which ever dialect one speaks. Igbo is Igbo.. I am proud Ewe man, from Ugbo in Enugu State. Igbo bu Igbo...
I am Ngwa in Abia State, an Igbo man. Nothing like core, original etc. God says we are one and widely dispersed in many dialects. God said to me by His grace that all Igbos will soon unite as one.
Thanks for this video. You just made me smile. I am from Anambra State and my Boss is from Onicha Ugbo in Delta State. He introduces himself as an Igbo Man from Delta State. Igbo bu Igbo, it does not matter whether you're an Igbo person from Rivers, Imo, Kogi, Benue, Anambra, Ebonyi, Edo, Enugu, and Abia. Anambra people are not more Igbo that Ndoni or Ndokwa people in Rivers and Delta States. It is all these confusions rooted in ignorance that make us weak politically.
Here in lagos what other tribes use in identifying Igbo people are their names and languages…Eno concern them weather you’re from south south or south east… so girl be proud of your tribe 🥰🥰🥰Igbo ndi oma
When we talk about Igbos, we should know that IGBO IS IGBO. There is no Delta igbo, IMO igbo, Anambra igbo, etc. What we have is dialects which is all IGBO. When we talk of English, we have English spoken in Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland. They are all English speakers but it sounds different, pronounced different but is English. Some words are different but will be linked to the region of where that type of English is spoken. Coming back to the Nigerian soil, in Yorubaland there are different dialects of Yoruba from the different states. The Ondo speak their Yoruba different from the Ijebus, but it is the same Yoruba.. My point here is that whether you say I am an Ika, Anioma, Ikwerre, Owerri, Wawa, Nnewi, Onisha etc, it is all IGBO with similar sounds or slight deviations in pronunciations, identical culture and beliefs. If the deviations are much more, then it is still a subgroup of IGBO which is still IGBO. The uneducated and the deluded that have been brain washed with division which is a political poison to break the Igbos is what has perpetuated the narrative of Igbos in Delta state, Rivers state and possibly Bayelsa state to be different. I therefore, state strongly with love and support that you preach your message by making it clear you are IGBO and those in a similar dilemma should stand and hold their God given IGBO identity by name and culture.
Mine graceful Igbo Sister from Delta , you are a truly proud Igbo girl . The so called man made/ political division cannot rob you of your Identity of being an Igbo , Great Igbo Hebrews ethnicity. Tell any one who cares to know that , you are proudly Igbo Girl . God bless you Sister!
Girl you're 100% igbo proudly repping!❤️ Don't mind him, my mum is from Ibusa and my dad was from Nnewi, Anambra, and the igbo was igbo, they communicated with no problems, although my dad's nephew did try to ask my mum about if she as a delta igbo girl thought she was different from 'actual' igbos/ them, very silly. And funny my mum was born in Jos too.
So Glad your parents never saw any difference. We are one Igbo and I'm so glad the narrative is gradually changing. My regards to your Beautiful Parents 😊 I appreciate your Comment!
God will bless you my beautiful sister. Don't mind some people who think they are more igbo than others and those who deny their identity simply because of bully or division by our shenanigan government. We are all proud ndi igbo no matter any location we found ourselves.
No Igboman from eastern Nigeria ever opened his or her mouth to say that Igbos from Delta or Ricers are not Igbo.It is the stupid elite from these places that denied their Igboness since after the genocide called Nigerian civil war as nobody wanted to identify with a victimized,oppressed tribe.After all, Nzeogwu that led the coup that stirred up the hatred and persecution of Igbo hailed from Okpanam in Delta state and no Igbo person ever denied his Igboness.Ask most young Delta North youths today what is their tribe,they will tell you they are not Igbo but south south as Reverend Ebuka Obi did in some of his programs in recent times.That is people whose names are Nwankwo,Okeke, and speak pure Igbo.Let us not go into opening wounds please.A foolish people are a foolish people.
@@dermotwallace5533 so issele uku now is Igbo stop forcing people to join you my people originated from benin. U can never see us clamoring for biafra never.
There's an ignorance on being IGBO from the Delta side and the eastern side. You're Igbo if you say you're Igbo and you have to own it. You don't need someone from Anambra telling you who you are. If they call you fake Igbo, call them fake Igbo too. Let's not make it seem that there aren't Delta Igbo who even hate being referred to as Igbo and would use tags such as "Delta" even though that's the name of a state and not a tribe. Though some use the term "Anioma" these days. I couldn't even tell if these video was an IGBO tag or DELTA tag. So, like i said we all have to do better...But i rwally enjoyed the video. Jisike.
Great Point Afam👍 I totally agree with what you said about Completely owning it regardless. We are one🙌. Thanks for your Comment, I really appreciate it 😊
My brother you spoke well..no educated igbo person that will call anyone in Delta fake..they are not educated. Historically he reason is because igbos from Onitsha to Delta down to Agbor were somehow under the influence of Benin kingdom in those days.so there culture became affected. But we are on a uniting mission for everyone
Don't mind all those Igbo east they go as far as telling the yorubas that we are fake igbos, and I keep asing them a question which non of them has bee able to answere, which is did God created any fake language? they feel Superior to us am from ubulu okiti.
@@stellaodianjor3718you don't understand, even among the 5 eastern states we still fire ourselves.you will hear enugu man calling anambra agbaenu and them calling enugu Wawa and so on . just stand your ground and no gree for anybody.
The funny thing is that Delta Igbo is even closer to central Igbo than most Igbo dialects, I am from Anambra State, I am always lost when Abiriba and Ohafia people speak their dialect amongst themselves, I can barely understand 10% of what they are saying but I do understand atleast 70% of delta Igbo so if Delta Igbo dialect is more closer to central than the Ohafia/Abiriba dialect then Delta Igbo is Igbo period.
Firstly thanks for your comment Chinedu! I agree with your analysis 👏 because I also experienced the difficulty to understand some dialects amongst Igbos. I remember talking to an Abiriba Person and I couldn't understand a word he said. I have learnt alot from this comment section enough to Understand that we are one Igbo 👍.
@justclaribelltv474 I was coming to say that people often confuse dialect with common language spoken by a tribe. This ignorance is so high among Igbos from south south. They DO NOT know that every other Igbo person has his or her own Igbo dialect just like them. They often think that the urban, central or Igboizugbe language that Igbos of SE speak are their own Igbo language. But this is not true. If you are born and or raised in a metropolitan Igbo cities that have Igbos of every dialect, you are likely going to speak central Igbo. This central Igbo or Igboizugbe is not an Igbo dialect but a made up Igbo language. Finally, there is nothing like I am from Delta. Delta is a name of a state in Nigeria. It is just like a person saying I am from Benue state. That does not tell your ethnic origin. In Benue state we have Tiv tribe, Idoma trip and others. You can rather say you are from Anioma, Ika Igbo, etc. Even Onitsha in Anambra have continued to shout they are not Igbo until they got tired, they are now tired of calling other Igbos "nwa oye Igbo". What our Delta Igbo fathers and uncles are doing to their children after the war is not good. Before the war, though Igbos of all dialects understand their differences in terms of language and culture they still see themselves as one ethnic group.
Nnem ibü Nwa afor igbo, What I understood atimes some Igbo's from the mainland like Anambra, IMO, Enugu state and the rest don't know how to communicate with other Igbo's in mixed state like in Delta and in River's state...is lack of understanding and lack of awareness... we're one undivided family bikö... Wanna watch more of your video please. Thanks
We in the mainland have shock absorber which you people don't have.we fire ourselves as well . anambra people call enugu Wawa while we call them agbaenu and so on. if anyone fire you fire am back, and that is the way to go.
If someone call you fake Igbo, call that person fake Igbo too... No one is more Igbotic than the other... Abeg who made who Igbo prefect?!... Oyaa!! As Rihanna don talk say she be Igbo from Babados, make dat person go flog her nah!
Ibo-Igbos are the greatest people's in the surface of Africa if not more because God really blessed the Igbos and we appreciate.So my dear sister be proud to be you Igbo in your Igboness is not claimed but natural.
You’re Igbo, look at your native name, it’s hardcore. I am glad you’re proud of who you’re. I am an Igbo as well as you at equal level. You’re in Delta and iI am in Abia, we are one Igbo.
Welcome Ekutosi... Happy to know you're from Igbouzo. I would appreciate meeting this lady that eats Akpu, and Ofe-aku. The reason being my Igbouzo root. Thank you.
I've also had the same experience with many Anambra people. When I speak my dialect (I'm from Abia), my Anambra friends will say I'm speaking Chinese Igbo 🙄
I completely relate with you. To think you're from Abia and you still get this attitude says alot. But I have seen that it's just some ndividuals not all Anambra's think that way. I hope you gave them Gbos Gbas when they said that you😄😄. Don't mind them jare we are all IGBOS😊Thanks for your Comment 👍
@@justclaribelltv474 Nne, I don't even have time for gbas gbos 😹 That's their business. My dialect is beautiful so why should I be bothered? Did anyone appoint them as Igbo language police? 🤷🏾♀️
You right some of the igbos don’t encourage others the problem about igbos is us when one Igbo part feels he’s more superior to others.Yorubas don’t act like that,the ijebu speaks different Yoruba from others
People tell me that I look like a Yoruba,igala or Efik lady . They never guess that I'm igbo. Shout out to you gurrhlll...! I hardly aee my fellow delta igbo peeps. This is so heart warming& comforting
Firstly, no part of Igbo has superiority over other or have authenticity claim more than others but I will humbly advise my brothers/sister from Aniocha. Stop attaching delta to your Identity. Delta is just a state that was created less than 30yrs ago. Is like someone saying Anambra igbo or Enugu igbo, Imo igbo, Abia igbo or Eboni Igbo it's makes no sense. Your Igbo period. Adding Delta before your Identity makes you sound ignorant of who u are cos your grandfathers where Igbos not Delta Igbos. That your guy is a jack ass! Lol his ex for a reason.
Am watching from thailand abeg am always be happy seen our people speaking igbo so do the right thing that guy from anambra state is some how like me ooo if i see any one that told me that she or he from igbo and that person is not speaking igbo e pains me eh 😡😡😡😡 i love seen our igbo ladies speaking igbo e sweet me so much
Don’t take it personal, I think human beings are made that way. No Igbo person is more real than the other. Here in Germany, they have the Same issue as weil, for example Bayern, Franken, Sachsen etc but all speak German, but their dialect differs. Many Germans may not understand the dialect from Bayern. That is it. I am from Imo state, I may not understand Abriba, Ngwa or Nsukka. They are all igbo speaking states. So don’t fell intimidated. Be proud of who you are {IGBO }😀
Ekwuee, just subscribed to your channel. Really proud of what l observed and heard from you. We are all lgbos regardless of where you find yourself. There are Jewish people all over the globe. They do not have to justify their Jewish DNA in order to be who they are naturally. No one is more lgbo than any other lgbo. We are who we are period. I am so proud essentially when you identify your likes of lgbo humongous food like akpu, nsalla soup etcetera. I am watching from Southern California USA, thanks for the contents. Looking forward to a lot more.
I'm an Anambra man saying you're PURE Igbo. Delta Igbo was a creation of Nigerian government after the war to further destabilize Igbo people. These people don't know that Onitsha in Anambra came from Benin Kingdom. I dated this fiiiiiine very fair Delta Igbo girl back in my ESUT days in Enugu. I still of think of her twenty something years after.
Listen to Igwe Achebe on the true history of Onitsha. Onitsha has no connection whatsoever with Bini heritage. Igbos are ancient people. It is just about migration from Aguleri and coming back home to Igbo land, they might stop over on the way back home at Benin but not from Benin
I'm from Nsukka and someone once said the same thing to me...but I literally pretended like i didn't even hear him speaking out of serious ignorance and it was someone from Anambra state.
Is so funny delta igbo is clearer than most communities in igboland like nsukka and few others in enugu state, abakaliki, afikpo and most others in Ebonyi state, abiriba, igbere, and few others in Abia state, some communities in Anambra and imo state. No igbo person needs interpreter to understand your people, but some of the communities i mentioned in igboland an average igbo person doesn't understand them at all when they speak their village language unless they use central igbo. Having said that, most of your people are to be blamed because they are in habit of denying their igboness unless when it suits them well to claim igbo. Real Ndigbo don't choose when to be identified as ndigbo - no igbo person will tell you he/she is anambra igbo or ebonyi igbo unlike some of you would say delta igbo as you have said. If you really see yourself as an igbo person, nobody will tell you otherwise. If they say yours is fake, you have every right to tell them that you are the real igbo, not them simple. Is common to hear some of us from different parts of 5 states that make up southeast to jokingly suggest our individual state(whether they are from Ebonyi, imo abia, enugu, or anambra state). is the real igbo and owner of the centralized igbo language, but nobody takes it seriously because nobody doubts their igboness; hence, they don't need validation. it ends up as a joke; it is unlike most of your people who are having an identity crisis. Can you honestly answer this question: if you are in sokoto right now, a local ask you which tribe you are from? Would you emphatically say igbo? No! At best, you will say aniocha, not even delta igbo, but another person from that 5 states would say igbo not abia igbo nor imo igbo. Therefore, you guys should stop letting any person, whether from southeast or any other region, to tell you where you belong. There is nothing to be bargained about your identity if you truly know who you are. Your state is delta, and your tribe is igbo simple. Not in between delta igbo or aniocha. If you're an igbo, you're an igbo.
Thank you so much for your insightful comment! It's so true about Ebonyi, I met someone from Ebonyi and I couldn't understand one thing he said in Igbo. I appreciate your Comment😊
There is really nothing like original Igbo. Igbo bu ofu irrespective of the geographical location they are in the present Nigeria. Your experience is relatable to those of us from ebonyi state.
When Igbos are in the north or in any other country in the world, Igbo bu Igbo tbere is no Delta, no Ikwere or whaetever else. Funny enough all these distinctions and discriminations occur more in Lagos than in any other place. As for your native name Ekwy, Ekwu, or Ekwutosi, It is a typical Igbo name you'll find in any part of Igboland whether Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, Anambra, Rivers or anywhere they speak Igbo language. In some areas it's strictly female name in Abia state both male and female children. It may not be a common name like Ngozi or Chidinma but it is popular and appreciable. It is usually given to a baby either when the mother has challenges before conception or challenges during pregnancy for which there might have been the tendency to "bad mouth" the woman. The name is usually given to the baby in pride for overcoming the "badmouth" whatever it may be.
My sister and my blood please don't mind those saying that cos every state speaks differently from others, like Anambra dialect is different from Enugu and likewise IMO, Abia, Ebonyi and delta state, same state also has different dialect as well, now there's no particular state or city that will claim that the Igbo we read and write ✍️ is from his or her state officially, no state is more Igbo then others.
On the subject of Delta Igbo brouhaha education is what the lot of people need. That the Chinese can pick up 40 percent plus or minus of what the Japanese or Korean speaks and bear similar names most times does not make a Japanese a Chinese. You have the Esans, the Oras and their neighbours with dialectic similarities and distinctions. You have the Yorubas and Itsekiris. Ethnicity is about divergencies in history, lineage, migrations,heritage, politics , culture, cross culture, cross lineage and cross affiliations and distinct dialetic or linguistic forms formed over centuries to millennia. Thus an Efik is an Efik and not an Ibibio. You dont meet an Itsoko man or woman and insist he or she must be referred to as an Urhobo. It is an insult and an assault to his unique heritage. No one has the license to dictate any persons heritage or identity. It is highly narcissist and the act itself uncivilized. In clearer terms only a narcissistic Chinese will call a Japanese or korean a Chinese. They are appropriately referred in reference to accredited precepts as relatives. In such terms the Esan is a relative of the Ora, the Yoruba a relative of the Itsekiri, the scot a relative of the Irish and the Anglo(english), the Igbo is a relative of the Anioma, the Anioma himself a relative of the Igbanke and the matter is as simple as that.
@Free Biafra from islamic Caliphate of 9ria Someone else have told me same thing.. that taa is used for jokes. Yes oo Asaba bu IGBO we are one👌Thanks for your Comment😊
The part of people who don’t believe we are igbos Those ones can’t believe ever that we are from the Southern part of Nigeria. I have had that experience too
Oh so you could relate with me since we have both experienced it. But surprisingly not everyone thinks that way I have seen wonderful comments for all my Igbo brothers and sisters here saying we shouldn't accept that again, because at the end of the day we are all IGBOS 🤝 I really appreciate your Comment.

Delta state is the indigenous home town of all igbo. Isu is from delta state and isu is the owner and teacher of igbo language. It’s after Ekumeku war was finally crushed by the British that the Edo and ijaw people corrupted Umejei Isu story to be a killer and with years people went along with the lies but it’s not true because they knew that isu is the head of Igbo and even Yoruba tribe.
In Nigeria without meaning alot of people don't know the difference between God given identity that can not be changed or taken away and a political or government identity even there is God given location or postiton of land is difference from political or government location or postiton government location or postiton of land can be changed but God given location or postiton of land to people or tribe don't change

You are a beautiful Igbo young lady. It’s the war that caused most of the division. Some Delta Igbos whose language most central Igbo will can understand them will say am not Igbo. Then Igbo also started saying okay you are not Igbo. In reality how can the only language you speak and you not from that tribe. The River some of them also deny their ancestors because of war is a shame. We hope for the best.

I met Ifeoma from Igbodo in Delta during my service in Benin City and she confessed she didn't feel confident speaking Igbo as some fellow Igbos laughed at her for speaking it the wrong way. I wouldn't have that and encouraged her to speak her dialect to me. Just as I anticipated, I perfectly understood her dialect. My young friend Dumtochukwu Okonkwo was, however, quick to insist that he wasn't Igbo but a Deltan and I ceased the opportunity to educate him that he is an Igbo boy and not Delta Igbo. As for you, Ekwy, you are nothing short of AdaIgbo. I speak fluent Hausa and wouldn't mind teaching you. Who knows...😂
Awww you are sweet! Thanks for encouraging her to speak her dialect confidently. We are one Igbo at the end of the day😊 I wouldn't mind if you teach me Hausa o. Thanks for your Beautiful comment 🙏
One thing igbos in the hinterland agree more on is the fact that Delta igbos are full ibos. Period. Therefore, I agree that your boyfriend was only playing with you.
I totally understand what you mean, because I experienced it. But I can tell you for sure that it just depends on the individual not all of them are like that. Thanks for your Comment John 😊
People with low background always wear high sense superiority clothes, That’s because most of the Ibos in anambra state are not from the king’s family, they were the ojiaka and ojiukwu ETC of Isu. that left ibuzo and ogwachi ukwu In delta state into anambra, does a king wear masquerade? Why do anambra ibo observe masquerade festival?
As an enugu person,we have that name"Ekwutosi" plenty in my place,a lovely name. The delta Igbo you speak is not a language rather a dialect. no part of Igbo land speak the central Igbo language, we all have our different dialects but there is the central Igbo language that we study in school and is understood by all
My sister there's nothing like Delta Igbo. Is there anything like kano Hausa, or Oyo Yoruba, while Delta Igbo? We have come to know all these divisive concepts, can we eschew it? Why is there no Abia Igbo? Igbo is one residing in different states. My opinion and I think its how it should be.
I think that one of the biggest mistake that we continue to make is trying to write and broadcast news and other information in “central Igbo”. What in Gods name is that. When my children leave home and go to school, what they are being made to learn is not what we speak at home causing confusion. I can understand another Igbo person from any part of Nigeria in their own dialect. Central Igbo is an oxymoron. I believe we will be more united if we allow everyone to write and pass information in their own dialect and this will go a long way in helping Igbo parents pass the language to their children. We are making it hard to about learn from and talk with each other.

What kind of Igbo is that? If the person want to know the dialect i will respond calmly but if he or she is being rude I will put them in their place... The reason why most people think the Igbo of the south east speak one Igbo language is because we all learned to speak central Igbo for easier communication otherwise it would have been the same thing with other Igbo outside of south east.. The bottom line is that we all have our own native Igbo dialect and still speak central Igbo.. Igbo of most people from Delta state are even more central than most of us in the south east... But which ever dialect one speaks. Igbo is Igbo.. I am proud Ewe man, from Ugbo in Enugu State. Igbo bu Igbo...
Thanks for a very Insightful comment 👍. I definately agree with you; there is no Fake or real Igbo just different dialects.
I am Ngwa in Abia State, an Igbo man. Nothing like core, original etc. God says we are one and widely dispersed in many dialects. God said to me by His grace that all Igbos will soon unite as one.
Thanks for this video. You just made me smile.
I am from Anambra State and my Boss is from Onicha Ugbo in Delta State. He introduces himself as an Igbo Man from Delta State.
Igbo bu Igbo, it does not matter whether you're an Igbo person from Rivers, Imo, Kogi, Benue, Anambra, Ebonyi, Edo, Enugu, and Abia. Anambra people are not more Igbo that Ndoni or Ndokwa people in Rivers and Delta States. It is all these confusions rooted in ignorance that make us weak politically.
Thank you so Obinna for this Beautiful Comment! I'm glad I was able to put a smile on your face😊 yes, Igbo bu Igbo. Dalu Nwanne 😊
It was Gowon's w a r tactics and it really worked on so many peep's
Here in lagos what other tribes use in identifying Igbo people are their names and languages…Eno concern them weather you’re from south south or south east… so girl be proud of your tribe 🥰🥰🥰Igbo ndi oma
Yes oo Igbo ndi oma! Thanks for your Beautiful comment😊
When we talk about Igbos, we should know that IGBO IS IGBO. There is no Delta igbo, IMO igbo, Anambra igbo, etc. What we have is dialects which is all IGBO. When we talk of English, we have English spoken in Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland. They are all English speakers but it sounds different, pronounced different but is English. Some words are different but will be linked to the region of where that type of English is spoken. Coming back to the Nigerian soil, in Yorubaland there are different dialects of Yoruba from the different states. The Ondo speak their Yoruba different from the Ijebus, but it is the same Yoruba.. My point here is that whether you say I am an Ika, Anioma, Ikwerre, Owerri, Wawa, Nnewi, Onisha etc, it is all IGBO with similar sounds or slight deviations in pronunciations, identical culture and beliefs. If the deviations are much more, then it is still a subgroup of IGBO which is still IGBO. The uneducated and the deluded that have been brain washed with division which is a political poison to break the Igbos is what has perpetuated the narrative of Igbos in Delta state, Rivers state and possibly Bayelsa state to be different. I therefore, state strongly with love and support that you preach your message by making it clear you are IGBO and those in a similar dilemma should stand and hold their God given IGBO identity by name and culture.
Excellent Analysis 👏👏 Well said. Thanks for your comment!
Mine graceful Igbo Sister from Delta , you are a truly proud Igbo girl . The so called man made/ political division cannot rob you of your Identity of being an Igbo , Great Igbo Hebrews ethnicity. Tell any one who cares to know that , you are proudly Igbo Girl . God bless you Sister!
Awww thanks Nwanne! Yes oo I'm proudly Igbo🤝🙌 I appreciate your comment!
❤❤❤❤❤ you're nwa afọ. Oga adiri na mma
You spoke well, but we are not Hebrews, we are Igbos, the great people
Girl you're 100% igbo proudly repping!❤️ Don't mind him, my mum is from Ibusa and my dad was from Nnewi, Anambra, and the igbo was igbo, they communicated with no problems, although my dad's nephew did try to ask my mum about if she as a delta igbo girl thought she was different from 'actual' igbos/ them, very silly. And funny my mum was born in Jos too.
So Glad your parents never saw any difference. We are one Igbo and I'm so glad the narrative is gradually changing. My regards to your Beautiful Parents 😊 I appreciate your Comment!
Actually, do you even know that Nnewi Was founded by Ibusor? Isn’t Ibusor in delta state way Older than Nnewi in anambra state?
You are right
God will bless you my beautiful sister. Don't mind some people who think they are more igbo than others and those who deny their identity simply because of bully or division by our shenanigan government. We are all proud ndi igbo no matter any location we found ourselves.
Thank you so much Elvis! Yes we are one no matter the location😊
No Igboman from eastern Nigeria ever opened his or her mouth to say that Igbos from Delta or Ricers are not Igbo.It is the stupid elite from these places that denied their Igboness since after the genocide called Nigerian civil war as nobody wanted to identify with a victimized,oppressed tribe.After all, Nzeogwu that led the coup that stirred up the hatred and persecution of Igbo hailed from Okpanam in Delta state and no Igbo person ever denied his Igboness.Ask most young Delta North youths today what is their tribe,they will tell you they are not Igbo but south south as Reverend Ebuka Obi did in some of his programs in recent times.That is people whose names are Nwankwo,Okeke, and speak pure Igbo.Let us not go into opening wounds please.A foolish people are a foolish people.
You are Igbo period. Any one that said you are not real way tell them to show their certificate of realness.
Yes oo👌 I will ask moving forward😄. Thanks for your Comment😊

@@dermotwallace5533 so issele uku now is Igbo stop forcing people to join you my people originated from benin. U can never see us clamoring for biafra never.
There's an ignorance on being IGBO from the Delta side and the eastern side. You're Igbo if you say you're Igbo and you have to own it. You don't need someone from Anambra telling you who you are. If they call you fake Igbo, call them fake Igbo too. Let's not make it seem that there aren't Delta Igbo who even hate being referred to as Igbo and would use tags such as "Delta" even though that's the name of a state and not a tribe. Though some use the term "Anioma" these days. I couldn't even tell if these video was an IGBO tag or DELTA tag. So, like i said we all have to do better...But i rwally enjoyed the video. Jisike.
Great Point Afam👍 I totally agree with what you said about Completely owning it regardless. We are one🙌. Thanks for your Comment, I really appreciate it 😊
@@justclaribelltv474 nne I love your video.
My brother you spoke well..no educated igbo person that will call anyone in Delta fake..they are not educated. Historically he reason is because igbos from Onitsha to Delta down to Agbor were somehow under the influence of Benin kingdom in those days.so there culture became affected. But we are on a uniting mission for everyone

Thanks for your Comment pat🙏
The funny thing is that Delta Igbo is
even closer to central Igbo than most Igbo dialects, I am from Anambra State, I am always lost when Abiriba and Ohafia people speak their dialect amongst themselves, I can barely understand 10% of what they are saying but I do understand atleast 70% of delta Igbo so if Delta Igbo dialect is more closer to central than the Ohafia/Abiriba dialect then Delta Igbo is Igbo period.
Firstly thanks for your comment Chinedu! I agree with your analysis 👏 because I also experienced the difficulty to understand some dialects amongst Igbos. I remember talking to an Abiriba Person and I couldn't understand a word he said. I have learnt alot from this comment section enough to Understand that we are one Igbo 👍.
@justclaribelltv474 I was coming to say that people often confuse dialect with common language spoken by a tribe. This ignorance is so high among Igbos from south south. They DO NOT know that every other Igbo person has his or her own Igbo dialect just like them. They often think that the urban, central or Igboizugbe language that Igbos of SE speak are their own Igbo language. But this is not true. If you are born and or raised in a metropolitan Igbo cities that have Igbos of every dialect, you are likely going to speak central Igbo. This central Igbo or Igboizugbe is not an Igbo dialect but a made up Igbo language. Finally, there is nothing like I am from Delta. Delta is a name of a state in Nigeria. It is just like a person saying I am from Benue state. That does not tell your ethnic origin. In Benue state we have Tiv tribe, Idoma trip and others. You can rather say you are from Anioma, Ika Igbo, etc. Even Onitsha in Anambra have continued to shout they are not Igbo until they got tired, they are now tired of calling other Igbos "nwa oye Igbo". What our Delta Igbo fathers and uncles are doing to their children after the war is not good. Before the war, though Igbos of all dialects understand their differences in terms of language and culture they still see themselves as one ethnic group.

Thanks Amechi! Good to have you here 😊
Firstly, no part of Igbo has superiority over other or have authenticity claim more than others but I will humbly advise my brothers/sister from Aniocha. Stop attaching delta to your Identity. Delta is just a state that was created less than 30yrs ago. Is like someone saying Anambra igbo or Enugu igbo, Imo igbo, Abia igbo or Eboni Igbo it's makes no sense. Your Igbo period. Adding Delta before your Identity makes you sound ignorant of who u are cos your grandfathers where Igbos not Delta Igbos.

Don’t take it personal, I think human beings are made that way. No Igbo person is more real than the other.
Here in Germany, they have the Same issue as weil, for example Bayern, Franken, Sachsen etc but all speak German, but their dialect differs. Many Germans may not understand the dialect from Bayern. That is it.
I am from Imo state, I may not understand Abriba, Ngwa or Nsukka. They are all igbo speaking states.
So don’t fell intimidated. Be proud of who you are {IGBO }😀

I'm an Anambra man saying you're PURE Igbo. Delta Igbo was a creation of Nigerian government after the war to further destabilize Igbo people. These people don't know that Onitsha in Anambra came from Benin Kingdom. I dated this fiiiiiine very fair Delta Igbo girl back in my ESUT days in Enugu. I still of think of her twenty something years after.
Thanks for your wonderful comment my Brother!
Listen to Igwe Achebe on the true history of Onitsha. Onitsha has no connection whatsoever with Bini heritage. Igbos are ancient people. It is just about migration from Aguleri and coming back home to Igbo land, they might stop over on the way back home at Benin but not from Benin
I'm from Nsukka and someone once said the same thing to me...but I literally pretended like i didn't even hear him speaking out of serious ignorance and it was someone from Anambra state.
I can totally relate. I Like the way you handled the situation👌 silence speaks volume. Thanks for your Comment😊
Is so funny delta igbo is clearer than most communities in igboland like nsukka and few others in enugu state, abakaliki, afikpo and most others in Ebonyi state, abiriba, igbere, and few others in Abia state, some communities in Anambra and imo state. No igbo person needs interpreter to understand your people, but some of the communities i mentioned in igboland an average igbo person doesn't understand them at all when they speak their village language unless they use central igbo. Having said that, most of your people are to be blamed because they are in habit of denying their igboness unless when it suits them well to claim igbo. Real Ndigbo don't choose when to be identified as ndigbo - no igbo person will tell you he/she is anambra igbo or ebonyi igbo unlike some of you would say delta igbo as you have said. If you really see yourself as an igbo person, nobody will tell you otherwise. If they say yours is fake, you have every right to tell them that you are the real igbo, not them simple. Is common to hear some of us from different parts of 5 states that make up southeast to jokingly suggest our individual state(whether they are from Ebonyi, imo abia, enugu, or anambra state). is the real igbo and owner of the centralized igbo language, but nobody takes it seriously because nobody doubts their igboness; hence, they don't need validation. it ends up as a joke; it is unlike most of your people who are having an identity crisis. Can you honestly answer this question: if you are in sokoto right now, a local ask you which tribe you are from? Would you emphatically say igbo? No! At best, you will say aniocha, not even delta igbo, but another person from that 5 states would say igbo not abia igbo nor imo igbo. Therefore, you guys should stop letting any person, whether from southeast or any other region, to tell you where you belong. There is nothing to be bargained about your identity if you truly know who you are. Your state is delta, and your tribe is igbo simple. Not in between delta igbo or aniocha. If you're an igbo, you're an igbo.
Thank you so much for your insightful comment! It's so true about Ebonyi, I met someone from Ebonyi and I couldn't understand one thing he said in Igbo. I appreciate your Comment😊

When Igbos are in the north or in any other country in the world, Igbo bu Igbo tbere is no Delta, no Ikwere or whaetever else. Funny enough all these distinctions and discriminations occur more in Lagos than in any other place.
As for your native name Ekwy, Ekwu, or Ekwutosi, It is a typical Igbo name you'll find in any part of Igboland whether Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, Anambra, Rivers or anywhere they speak Igbo language. In some areas it's strictly female name in Abia state both male and female children. It may not be a common name like Ngozi or Chidinma but it is popular and appreciable. It is usually given to a baby either when the mother has challenges before conception or challenges during pregnancy for which there might have been the tendency to "bad mouth" the woman. The name is usually given to the baby in pride for overcoming the "badmouth" whatever it may be.
Marvis I Love your Comment so much. Thanks for the detailed contribution😊 you're so right about the name Ekwi. I agree Igbo is Igbo everywhere👍
Just be proud of whom you're, there is no core or peripheral igbo,we're all equal ok❤
@@raybennett4327stop lying east is the homeland of igbos that's why delta igbo is a distinction
My sister and my blood please don't mind those saying that cos every state speaks differently from others, like Anambra dialect is different from Enugu and likewise IMO, Abia, Ebonyi and delta state, same state also has different dialect as well, now there's no particular state or city that will claim that the Igbo we read and write ✍️ is from his or her state officially, no state is more Igbo then others.
Great point! Thanks for your Comment my Brother 😊
On the subject of Delta Igbo brouhaha education is what the lot of people need. That the Chinese can pick up 40 percent plus or minus of what the Japanese or Korean speaks and bear similar names most times does not make a Japanese a Chinese. You have the Esans, the Oras and their neighbours with dialectic similarities and distinctions. You have the Yorubas and Itsekiris. Ethnicity is about divergencies in history, lineage, migrations,heritage, politics , culture, cross culture, cross lineage and cross affiliations and distinct dialetic or linguistic forms formed over centuries to millennia. Thus an Efik is an Efik and not an Ibibio. You dont meet an Itsoko man or woman and insist he or she must be referred to as an Urhobo. It is an insult and an assault to his unique heritage. No one has the license to dictate any persons heritage or identity. It is highly narcissist and the act itself uncivilized. In clearer terms only a narcissistic Chinese will call a Japanese or korean a Chinese. They are appropriately referred in reference to accredited precepts as relatives. In such terms the Esan is a relative of the Ora, the Yoruba a relative of the Itsekiri, the scot a relative of the Irish and the Anglo(english), the Igbo is a relative of the Anioma, the Anioma himself a relative of the Igbanke and the matter is as simple as that.

Delta state is the indigenous home town of all igbo. Isu is from delta state and isu is the owner and teacher of igbo language. It’s after Ekumeku war was finally crushed by the British that the Edo and ijaw people corrupted Umejei Isu story to be a killer and with years people went along with the lies but it’s not true because they knew that isu is the head of Igbo and even Yoruba tribe.

@@asonyepatrick you're welcome! Thanks for your support.
Nne you're Igbo girl from Delta just the way me I'm igbo man from Benue state , Delta is just a state of origin
Dalu Ugo! You are right. I have learnt alot from this video. I appreciate your support 🙏
I met Ifeoma from Igbodo in Delta during my service in Benin City and she confessed she didn't feel confident speaking Igbo as some fellow Igbos laughed at her for speaking it the wrong way. I wouldn't have that and encouraged her to speak her dialect to me. Just as I anticipated, I perfectly understood her dialect.
My young friend Dumtochukwu Okonkwo was, however, quick to insist that he wasn't Igbo but a Deltan and I ceased the opportunity to educate him that he is an Igbo boy and not Delta Igbo.
As for you, Ekwy, you are nothing short of AdaIgbo. I speak fluent Hausa and wouldn't mind teaching you. Who knows...😂
Awww you are sweet! Thanks for encouraging her to speak her dialect confidently. We are one Igbo at the end of the day😊 I wouldn't mind if you teach me Hausa o. Thanks for your Beautiful comment 🙏
Your ex was having a friendly banter with you that you are not Igbo & you're already taking it serious
One thing igbos in the hinterland agree more on is the fact that Delta igbos are full ibos. Period. Therefore, I agree that your boyfriend was only playing with you.
Anambra People always have this sense of superiority of other parts because they feel their dialect is clearer, I don’t know who told them that
I totally understand what you mean, because I experienced it. But I can tell you for sure that it just depends on the individual not all of them are like that. Thanks for your Comment John 😊
@@justclaribelltv474 I agree
People with low background always wear high sense superiority clothes, That’s because most of the Ibos in anambra state are not from the king’s family, they were the ojiaka and ojiukwu ETC of Isu. that left ibuzo and ogwachi ukwu In delta state into anambra, does a king wear masquerade? Why do anambra ibo observe masquerade festival?
U are Igbo my dear , to me u are more Igbo than some people from enugu state nsukka If does guys speak their own Igbo my dear u won’t hear nothing .
Lol @ you won't hear nothing. Thanks for your comment😊
As an enugu person,we have that name"Ekwutosi" plenty in my place,a lovely name. The delta Igbo you speak is not a language rather a dialect. no part of Igbo land speak the central Igbo language, we all have our different dialects but there is the central Igbo language that we study in school and is understood by all
Well said👏👏👏 we all have dialects but we are one Igbo. Thanks for your support 🙏
Am from Obiaruku...ika, but most importantly 100% Igbo proudly
Ika are very good people. we are Proudly Igbo 👐 Thanks.
My sister there's nothing like Delta Igbo.
Is there anything like kano Hausa, or Oyo Yoruba, while Delta Igbo?
We have come to know all these divisive concepts, can we eschew it?
Why is there no Abia Igbo?
Igbo is one residing in different states.
My opinion and I think its how it should be.
Great point ifechukwu👏👏 you are so right, we really need to eschew those narratives. Thanks for your Comment!
This type of beauty is reserved for only igbo women.
Yes oo👍 thank you.
I think that one of the biggest mistake that we continue to make is trying to write and broadcast news and other information in “central Igbo”. What in Gods name is that. When my children leave home and go to school, what they are being made to learn is not what we speak at home causing confusion. I can understand another Igbo person from any part of Nigeria in their own dialect. Central Igbo is an oxymoron. I believe we will be more united if we allow everyone to write and pass information in their own dialect and this will go a long way in helping Igbo parents pass the language to their children. We are making it hard to about learn from and talk with each other.
@@omonoabc652 Great perspective 👏 I appreciate your support, thanks!
Am also from Aboh town in ndokwa east l.g.a of Delta state.. am Igbo .. ikr so ndi igbos don't regards us as Igbo mostly Anambra folks they also do same to Ebonyi people and Nsukka people
Thanks for your comment my brother! I completely agree with you 💯. It's the reality out but hopefully people will learn that we are one Igbo🤝
Oke mmaru Ur correct 💯
But we can't continue like this let's unit
When we talk about Igbos, we should know that IGBO IS IGBO. There is no Delta igbo, IMO igbo, Anambra igbo, etc. What we have is dialects which is all IGBO. When we talk of English, we have English spoken in Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland. They are all English speakers but it sounds different, pronounced different but is English. Some words are different but will be linked to the region of where that type of English is spoken. Coming back to the Nigerian soil, in Yorubaland there are different dialects of Yoruba from the different states. The Ondo speak their Yoruba different from the Ijebus, but it is the same Yoruba.. My point here is that whether you say I am an Ika, Anioma, Ikwerre, Owerri, Wawa, Nnewi, Onisha etc, it is all IGBO with similar sounds or slight deviations in pronunciations, identical culture and beliefs. If the deviations are much more, then it is still a subgroup of IGBO which is still IGBO. The uneducated and the deluded that have been brain washed with division which is a political poison to break the Igbos is what has perpetuated the narrative of Igbos in Delta state, Rivers state and possibly Bayelsa state to be different. I therefore, state strongly with love and support that you preach your message by making it clear you are IGBO and those in a similar dilemma should stand and hold their God given IGBO identity by name and culture.
Ur father na migrant,
My igbo is ikwerre igbo, if you're not use to other igbo dialects sorry I fit sell you🤣🤣
