chuxyz: Living in typical igbo town such as Aba or Onitsha is quite fun with the kind of hilarious quotes that you hear on daily basis. These are the ones i can remember for now:

1. Hapu ihe e dere na moto banye moto (Leave what is written on a motor and enter motor)
Meaning: Taking action is a priority over having details or previous knowledge

2. Kee ncha bu omo? (Which soap is omo?)
Meaning: How far? or What's up?

3. Onye m ga-egbuli m ga rio chineke ka o nyere m aka? (One i can defeat do i still need to beg God for help?)
Meaning: Self explanatary

4. Gaa washington ka ha washia nti gi (Go to washington so your ear can be washed)
Meaning: Told to a deaf ear

5. Agbacha oso a gwuo mile (After the race, the miles or distance covered is calculated)
Meaning: Being reflective after a difficult task

6. Ogaracha must come back (He who wanders away must come back)
Meaning: You can not totally shy away from your responsiblities

Do we have Aba or Onitcha or other Igbo boys boys here? Please let's keep it rolling...
Odili 'utu'(J.thomas) mma okpodo isi n'ala?
Akwuna(ashawo) ga-ebe akwa nwa na nka.

bigfrancis21:

Some of your spellings aren't correct. Eg,

1) Its agalacha/agaracha...not ogaracha.
2) A gbasia oso, a guo mile, not gwuo.

It is O garacha not A garacha. "O" is the igbo pronoun for "He/She/It" in this contextual usage and not "A". In igbo, you say "Ogba-oso - "Runner" not "Agba-oso". We might be both correct based on dialectal difference. But I used central igbo there. Secondly, agbacha is central Igbo agbasia is correct as well but the only error I made is spelling gwuo instead of guo and thanks for that.
