Some miscreants recently attempted to join false parallels between Ogba dialect and Bini language especially one charlatan running “Ogba History” page. These parallels are non existent as most of the words they tried to use were misconstrued or twisted......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
Everyone can be entitled to their opinion but what we mustn’t tolerate is intellectual dishonesty fueled by identity crisis.

This clearly demonstrates there is very minimal loan words from Bini into Ogba dialect, and most Edo loanwords if they exist were gotten from contact with isoko and Aboh(who had a great deal of relationship with the Benin and Isoko merchants) most of the words that a similar cuts across Igbo, Yoruba and Edo, they are of the same root words because Igbo, Yoruba and Edo languages descend from the same parent language.
Making the comparison between Ogba and Central Igbo is like comparing between Ede Yoruba and Ijebu.
