[00:01:07]I'll see you again in my next video. For now, bye.

[00:01:11]She just counted the numbers 1 to 10 in Igala language, classified as a Yoruboid language group. When they say Yoruboid, they are telling you they are talking about languages that have similarities, that share words in common with the Yoruba, which is the major group.

[00:01:32]Igala is classified as a Yoruboid language. If you're a person that is very conversant with the Igala people, I grew up in Kogi State.

[00:01:41]They share words in common.

[00:01:43]But, they are two separate ethnic groups.

[00:01:46]I've not seen when a somebody from Yoruba will go and start dragging the Igala people that the Igala people have identity crisis, that because their language is called Yoruboid languages, that they must be Yoruba. No.

[00:01:59]It is the same issue we are having with you Igbo Biafra IPOB expansionist.

[00:02:05]Some languages are classified as Igboid languages. Those languages have a word similarities to Igbo language.

[00:02:14]But though they call them minority ethnic groups, but they are called Igboid language according to classification. They have their original names. The word Igboid is is a language cluster, is a family. That is called Igboid. Both the Igbo language is under the Igboid family.

[00:02:30]But Igbo is the biggest among those group there.

[00:02:33]So when you hear languages like Ukwuani, you hear language like Ika, Ikwerre and Ekpeye, they know what they are saying.

[00:02:39]But it is you people that will come online and be insulting them. Somebody like me from Ukwuani now will tell you that I'm not Igbo, you people will get angry. This is hate for Igbos. You are a foolish, you are useless, you don't know yourself, identity crisis.

[00:02:51]I'm just using that Igala video This Igala girl's video now to give you an example cuz most of you your brains have been have have been damaged by this IPOB Biafra leader.

[00:03:03]You can just see the similarity between Yoruba and Igala now. They have a lot of words in common.

[00:03:10]I'm making videos like this for you with all brains so that you can learn. But most of you have been fooling yourselves on social media. That is why we also came out to counter this your lies and your false narratives. But if you guys don't want to learn, you can remain in your stupidity and your foolishness. The more you lie about our people, the more we also correct you. And the more we also counter your false narratives.

[00:03:32]Rubbish.
