[00:00:00]What is I? The word I has three meanings. The EU people, the EU language and the EU land. The EU land is situated in the souththeastern part of Nigeria and is divided into two by the river Niger. The division is unequal with the smaller part of it being on the west of the river and this area is generally called the ika IU with parts of delta states that speak I so we have asaba we have um we have isu we have ana we have ab now if all these people believe that their ego is another conversation. So the other half is in the eastern parts of the east of the river and this is referred to as the eastern part and this includes Anra, Emo state, EO state, emugu state and some parts of river states.

[00:01:08]Yes, river states. Are we EO or not? The EO people are generally identifiable in Nigeria because we are fairer in complexion although I'm a bit darker and people have often referred to me as Euroba but I'm an EU woman true and true. My mother is EU, my father is Eu.

[00:01:34]I people also love to travel and we're very hospitable.

[00:01:39]We love to travel. We're everywhere in the world. There's no part of this world that you will not find an ego man for real. Use me as an example. I was born in Libraville in Gabon. Yes, my father went for business and then lived there and had me. E people are everywhere.

[00:01:59]E people are independent and yes independent maybe even to a fault. That is why you will not find nepotism in land. All man for himself.

[00:02:11]food. So we love cava, we love yam, we love um gar and cava.

[00:02:20]I love apple. So this is the reason why back in the day when um a woman gets married, she would be given m and pistol as part of her ido gifts because she has to go and swore for her husband. I language is among the subf family of the Niger Congo family of languages and this uses pitch to differentiate the meanings of words that have the same spellings and with pitch we mean tone and this is why I is very tonal. Also in EU language um there are different dialects across EU land. So we have onicha dialect, we have dialect, we have dialect. I for one I'm from ni and um some things I say a general central speaking central ebu speaking person might not be able to understand. For example, I would say um it wasn't me. I would say I didn't do it. I would say so someone else might not be able to understand that or if I want to say I'm I'm nervous or anxious I would say.

[00:03:46]So yeah very different dialects. I don't understand people from example. I I never hear what they say. So very different. So now you know what I land people and I language. So >> [music]
