It's an abomination for onye Igbo to call his/her own tribe, ibo. It's disgusting and totally wrong. Btw. 80% of Igbos say 'Yoruba' and 'awusa' when talking, but you will never see an Igbo person write 'Yoruba' or 'awusa', unless the person is trying to make fun of the Yoruba's and the Hausa people. So you guys should respect our tribe because Ivanovic and Vidic are not spelled 'ivanovich' and 'vidich' because of how they are called. My 2 cents. |

Correction pls @ nwaigbo mg, there is no part of Anambra that speaks Ibo(it has no meaning), it has always been Igbo eg(igboanugo, igboukwu, igbouzo) But i belive it's non-igbo or 'did you know i went to school Group' that uses that word. 1 Like |

[quote author=Abagw cause traditional Igbo writing is not in Roman but Nsibidi.Several of such spelling disagreements occur in many Igbo words. Chukwu-Chuku Oka-Okar-Okah Ibe-Ibeh Nwala-Wala Nwachukwu-Wachukwu-Nwachuku Emodi-Emordi Akwa-Akua. These are just but few cases of such spelling disagreement. It is not peculiar to Igbo but is also noticeable in other African and European languages.Osogbo or Oshogbo are both right in Yoruba.[/quote] Please if u don't know anything, keep shut. Don't mislead people. Its never IBO. The language and the tribe are IGBO. IBO is just British funnetic, white man miapronouncd it. For example, in ur waec or jamb or neck exams, have u seen any IBO in name, whether language or the tribe? People, both the tribe and the language are IGBO. There's nothing like IBO. Thank u all. |

alj harem: infact in some schools in anambra, some students spell igbo as ibo,.,. and the ibo teachers do not complain Guy, pls don't start yarning dust. If those teachers allow that then they are not qualified. Like I said before, have u seen IBO in any of waec, neco, jamb? There is nothing like ibo, its Igbo. |

alj harem: Why are u being stup!d pls. If I write "awusa" instead of "Hausa" in exam, will I pass? I'd!ots like u are the reason we are having tribal killings in this Nigeria. Its all Igbo not ibo. |

We Igbos like to argue over irrelevant matters... We have more pressing problems but you'd find people arguing about 'Ibo' or 'Igbo'... Does it really matter if we all understand what we are referring to? Yorubas have 'Somolu' and 'Shomolu'... They don't go about arguing the way we do ours... 1 Like |

beneli: I am from the West, but I like the way you have treated it. I can't remember the last time I used that word, Ibo... may be 5, 6 yrs |

Igbo but I know Delta Igbos prefer Ibo. But no self-respecting Igbo man from the Far East would write Igbo as Ibo. |

Abagworo: Does it make a difference if it is written in NSIBIDI, English or Greek? None of these is indigenous to Igbo. Just respect people and called them the way they want to be called. American blacks went through Negro, Black to African American. 1 Like |

Igbo is the correct words not ibo...in other African's countries called us ibo due to pronounced of their languages |
