[@JoyAmassomaowei]

Nice one keep it up

[@leghemotimieteimo874]

I attend an Izon speaking church over here in Port Harcourt, the Izon language spoken is Kolo-kuma, and I'm from Southern Ijaw, so this is actually very helpful. I'm so jotting this down, so I'll go and show myself😜😂. Thanks Laye baby😘

[@bambicella8813]

Am from delta Igbo but my mom is ijaw. Have always wanted to learn ijaw.

[@Bishop_Six]

I'm from Rivers state, we speak mostly Eastern ijaw (kalabari, okrika, ibani). Western/Central ijaw has always been a bit difficult for me to understand 😀

[@lalahslounge]

Hopefully, we'll get to learn more dialects of the Ijaw language.

[@ekubodarlyn1153]

[@oyeinmomoemifestusfaith6188]

There are little differences with what you taught just now and what we speak. Although I can't speak the Ijaw language but I understand it. I hope your videos help me anyways keep up with promoting the Ijaw language

[@lalahslounge]

I hope we keep promoting the Izon language to the best of our abilities.Thanks for watching.

[@So1asola]

[@amosprincess3893]

Nice voice

[@samuelgrace5517]

Pls I need help,how do the ijaw women or girls dress .. like the general clothe they wear

[@lalahslounge]

Hi Grace, our general attire is to tie double wrapper(the first gets down to the ankle, while the second stops just below the knee), and blouse with headgear. For serious occasions, we also wear red coral beads. Hope this is helpful to you.

[@samuelgrace5517]

@@lalahslounge thanks so much
But instead of the headtie can you wear beaded cap

[@lalahslounge]

Yes you can.

[@samuelgrace5517]

@@lalahslounge thank you very much 🙏🙏

[@JosephineAlagba]

4:03 Now I can spot some differences. Like ‘sorry’ Girl! 😊😊 Thank you. And sorry about your missing clips 😘

[@lalahslounge]

Thank you

[@NigerianFolktalesbyNG]

Hello, how do you say I am sorry in Ibani

[@Soselari]

So I really want commend what you doing although i did love you be little more serious and very direct. And the focus should be the Bayelsa Ijaw dialect while you make reference to other Ijaw dialects like the Rivers, Ondo Delta etc so as to be more inclusive

[@lalahslounge]

Thank you, I'll take your suggestion into consideration.

[@teetemz]

Thank you!

[@MR.13sports]

Thank you so much

[@blessingdaniel3784]

I finally get to it now......😸🤦‍♀️

[@eseikpitibo6867]

Aunty lalah soft pillows

[@lalahslounge]

🙈🙈🙈

[@faithnieketien4196]

Are you delta ijaw or bayelsa ijaw cause there is a slight difference in the language between the two

[@lalahslounge]

I don't think there's anything like Bayelsa Ijaw, that's because there are several dialects of Izon even in Bayelsa state. I speak the Kolokuma variant or dialect of the Izon language.

[@tsamspace]

What about koide”?

[@lalahslounge]

That's obeisance or courtesy, it's usually done slightly bending your knees for ladies and bowing your head for gentlemen. You can say that when greeting an older person

[@Afroblack13]

Koide , means I’m on my kneels , then the elderly seri . Meaning stand up .. then says do .. so it’s translate as , I’m on my kneels , and the elderly says standup , thank you …now have you woken up ? Means eseride? ..the seri do , is a command , the seri de , is a question .. please know what you teach others . For the sake of our language .

[@lalahslounge]

I’m glad you watched to the end. Thanks for your contribution.

[@Afroblack13]

Of course by tribe you are my sister 💕

[@JosephineAlagba]

😂😂😂Girl. Wtf were you doing? No no! That was not singing.

[@lalahslounge]

Opera Standard singing oh, you can't get it anywhere else🤣🤣🤣

[@rachaelgbasai1]
