Saladin25: Another descendant of Odua spotted, displaying their stock in thread. I don't know what Ikwerres call themselves, and I sure don't care, but Tonto Dike never denied her Igbo roots. Hear her out! "Yoruba girls are pretty, Hausa girls are smart, but it takes an Igbo girl to win a man's heart. Yoruba girls have big heads, Hausa girls take you straight to bed. Igbo Girls are the ones you want to wed. Fulani girls can't dance, Yoruba girls can't flow, and when you want the best-looking girl, Imo State is where you go. Yoruba girls are wild, Hausa girls are fun, but when it comes to partyin, Igbo Girls are #1. Girls will be girls North, South, East and West, but an Igbo Girl will always rate the best. So any guy who reads this truly has to know, if you have an Igbo Girl, you should never let her go! " http://www.myspace.com/africanbeauty321 3 Likes |

One thing is sure. Gowon, Mutala, OBJ, Buhari, IBB, Shonekan,Abacha, Abdusalami, etc, men who looted Nigeria dry, none of them are Igbo. Yet they all looted nijeria treasury, I guess Children of Odua and Dan fodio don't like money? Okwaya? 2 Likes |

'they can be found in Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo,

Light skin is not restricted to any ethnic group, yes. However,it is interesting to note than Igbos have large number of light skin/yellow people. When you meet anyone with light coloured eyes,be it grey,blue or green,there is a great chance that he/she is igbo. Igbos and their skin tone over the years has generated a wide array of threads and goggle search words, like ''Are igbos mixed'' , Why are Igbos lightskinned'' etc. Some stereotypes have an element of truth in it, so it's not out of place to see an Edo girl and assume she is Igbo. It is just a trait usually associated with Igbos. P.s It is Igbo not Ibo. People should stop corrupting the name of this ethnic group. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ihuomadinihu:Good points, but I would like to contest something in your argument which I also had with someone else. Is "ibo" actually wrong or is it a corruption or just an English pronunciation of the igbo ethnic group. To me, I feel the latter is a more appropriate answer. Most European languages have their pronunciation for every country or ethnic group according to the phonological inclinations. Here in Germany, they Nigeria more like "NEEGARIA". English call them Germans they call themself Deutscher. Munich here is called "Muenchen". I know french is not called "french" in french, neither do Italians call their capital city, "Rome". Neither do italians call themself, "italian" when they are referring to their nationality in their own language. My point exactly is, we don't have to fret when someone refer to us as "ibo", they are just refering to us in a language which is not igbo. |
Re: 5 Igbo Stereotypes Every Nigerian Must Drop by Ihuomadinihu: 7:42am On Mar 30, 2016 |
Eke40seven:No,that is absolutely wrong. There is nothing like ibo in igbo language and otography and that should be respected by other people. People don't decide how they pronounce your name,you rather tell people how your name is pronounced. Ibo or ndibo is a misnomer, mispronounciation and colonial corruption of the original ethnic title. It's even more annoying when Nigerians/Africans wrongly adopt the corrupted version. The earlier corrections are made,the better. Ibo doesn't exist, even Foreigners are now using the correct term. 1 Like |

Ihuomadinihu:Let's be more reasonable. I am sure you call Germans "Germans" but I can authoritatively tell you, that's not what they call themselves. You call people from france, "French", but sister that's not what they call themselves. French people don't call themselves" "French" in French language. You will only be a hypocrites calling other people names not pronounced in their own language and fighting others not to call you your own name in another language. You must accept that "ibo" is not a way of describing an Igbo person in igbo language, the sooner you understand this simple concept, the less headache for you. The English might have used the term "ibo" because the "GB" doesn't exist in their language, and that's etymology for you. So also am I sure that Jesus wasn't called "Jesus" or "Jesu" when he walked this earth, but how many times did your Lord and Saviour turn his back to you for praying "in the name of Jesus" or "naha Jesu?" That's language for you, you just have to understand the dynamics. |

Eke40seven: why are you incorrigible.. it's simply Igbo ...is it hard. it was a colonial misnomer ibo,ebo ebboe etc but the right thing is Igbo |
Re: 5 Igbo Stereotypes Every Nigerian Must Drop by Eke40seven(m): 11:40am On Mar 30, 2016 |
AmuDimpka:May be you are the one that is close minded, unexposed and backward. The world doesn't revolve around Igbo language and pronunciation. You must understand what century we are in. if you want everybody to call you "Igbo", then you must call every other person by their name in their own language. If you have ever called someone from France, French, then you might as well accept it 100% when an English speaker call you " ibo", whether it originated from a corruption of the original word or not. And please read up the meaning of etymology, before you reply my quote. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: 5 Igbo Stereotypes Every Nigerian Must Drop by Eke40seven(m): 5:37pm On Mar 30, 2016 |
AmuDimpka:Points of correction Mr. Lecturer, all Germans are not Bavarians, Bavaria (Bayern in Deutsch) is a region, a subgroup of Germans or also a dialect of German. Bavaria is an English word for "Bayern". Germans call themselves Deutscher. Hehehe, I grateful, I finally knocked you into a lucid period for you to think straight for a second. The examples you reeled out emphasise exactly what I have been trying to put into your hitherto thick skull. |
