OMENANI NDOKWA
CULTURE OF NDOKWA
.
Omenani Ndokwa is the culture of the Ndokwa people. As we know that culture is the way of peoples life, these ways includes their Languages, Leadership systems, Religion, Dressing, Greetings, and sometimes Work of Life.
.
LANGUAGE
Ndokwa people have their own unique language and can be easily understood by all. Though the language has many dialects which can be differentiated by their phonetics. The Ndokwa people speak the Ndokwa Language.
.
Lets consider some examples of the differences in Ndokwa Language.
.
QUESTION
Have you ate Food ?
.
Abbi---- Yeli worli nli?
Utagba----Yeli goli nli
Obiaruku---Yeli fuworli nli
.
ANSWER
I have had my meal!!!
.
Abbi---------Eliwu worlim nli
Utagba------Eli golim nli
Obiaruku---Elifu worlim nli.
.
By the different intonations of the Ndokwa Languages, the Ndokwa people can easily differentiate themselves among themselves and at times know and recognize each person from each community they hail from or speaks.
.
It is however regretable that most parents are not teaching their children how to speak their languages but prefers to teach them mainly the English languages and some other languages. This have in one way or the other reduced the popularity of the Ndokwa Language. Today, majority of the Ndokwa people living mostly outside Ndokwa land cannot speak or write in the Ndokwa Languages.
.
