What you don't know between Ngwa and Mbaise people will shock you. Many think we are different because one is in Abia and the other is in Imo, but the truth is we are one people by blood. According to oral history passed down by our elders, Ngwa and Mbaise were one big powerful clan many years ago. A great conflict and migration happened in ancient times that separated us. One group moved towards present-day Imo and settled as Mbaise, the other settled in present-day Abia as Ngwa. We were separated by land, but not by blood. Why You Cannot Separate Ngwa and Mbaise Our language is almost the same. An Ngwa man and an Mbaise man understand each other more than any other Igbo dialect. Our names, our market days, Eke, Orie, Afor, Nkwo, our new yam festival, our respect for elders, everything is identical. That is blood speaking. Ngwa Has 7 Local Governments, Mbaise Has 3 This is what many don't know. Ngwa land in Abia State is made up of 7 LGAs: 1. Aba North 2. Aba South 3. Isiala N...
