ụtụtụ ọma actually mean good morning. But it's so rare to see people saying that amongst Ndigbo.

I believe it is "good morning". I've heard it before (whuiyala), and if I'm not mistaking, I'd imagine it is like how Ngwa will say "i futala" or "unu afutala" as a "good morning" greeting. Ikwerre tends to substitute "f" with "wh".

His translation is actually more correct than yours. "Ututu oma" is not how to properly say "good morning" in Igbo.

Seem to be many ways to say Good morning in Igbo, it can be very confusing. So if i say good morning to an Igbo person which one would I pick

I bola chi?
Inyi apụsala?
Inyi aboola nni?
Nnaawo?
ututu oma?
unu aputana?

Are these all just different dialects of Igbo language?

They're all different dialects. The standardized version is "I bola chi" (for one person) and "unu abola chi" (for two or more people).

Hausa is a beautiful language too, as long as you speak a Nigerian language, that is good enough.

Lol Adam is just trying to encourage you. Hausa is a big part of yan arewa, there are about 40 million Hausa speakers in Africa and only about 20 million Fulfulde/Pular (Fulani) speakers. In Nigeria already, our northwestern Fulani population does not speak Fulfulde. It is only us in the northeast that do.

Hausa is a beautiful language, but it is one of the largest and most common in west Africa, that's why he urges you ekkita fulfulde (learn fulfulde)
