For purposes of clarity . I am ukwuani by birth , heritage and ethnicity. Both my parents being ukwuani and from Abbi town in Ndokwa Local government area of Delta State Nigeria.

Change 'ukwuani is a sub group of igbo' to 'ukwuani is a multi lineage originating group established by ethnogenesis and is better described as an iduo- igboid group'

we have iduo/benin origins as well as igbo/igboid origins mainly but also lineages traced to the igalas, the urhobo/itsokos and the Ijaws.

Change 'This has been challenged by Paul O. Opone, a lecturer at Delta State University, Abraka who argues that the evidence shows that they are of Igbo origin' to ' there are evidences suggesting that the ukwuani ethic group is made up of both Benins and Igbos reflected in the dialect as the dialect is an ethnic lingo /a lingua franca dialect having both benin /iduoid elements and igboid elements. For instance benin/iduoid words like isanhan, edonmehn, donmehn, ebubu, kugbe and ilolo used by benin esans also feature in the ukwuani dialect though in morphic forms mostly as isafe, ndame , dame, ebulubu, gbe and ilolo all meaning same key, examination , test, dirt , mix/admix and thought/idea respectively' Michaelugbana (talk) 19:38, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
