Please. . . What does Ogini means? sad
Re: Official Translation Thread by ChinenyeN(m): 6:51pm On May 27, 2010
Ogini. . . I'm assuming you're talking about Igbo. .
Ogini ("O'u Gini?"wink = "What?"

Gabry:

Are you talking of Ogidi? Ogini? or O gi ni?

Ogidi is an Igbo meal.
I don't know any Igbo word as Ogini.
O gi ni means What is it.
Re: Official Translation Thread by Sonofpeace(m): 8:35am On May 28, 2010
mama-gee:

Ogidi is an Igbo meal.
I don't know any Igbo word as Ogini.
O gi ni means What is it.
i guess o gi ni is yoruba while oghi ni is igbo.
Re: Official Translation Thread by Gabry(f): 1:10pm On May 28, 2010
