I'm just thinking what will be the best word in Igbo to describe 'derailers', methinks it's 'ndi ngahie uzo'

Flavour, in one of his songs, said oringo, what does that mean?
Re: Igbo learning thread + Translator by Nobody: 5:19pm On Feb 04, 2013
[size=13pt]I think oringo has to do with plenty of drinking, sleeping around, enjoyment, etc.

@Manny, depending on context, can't nwoke oma mean handsome man as well?[/size]

Not in the literal sense. Whether you use "fine man" or "handsome man", it will still mean "good man".

Afam has answered your question... Although I've heard something like "nwoke amaka", which can mean a handsome or good looking man.

I'm about to share my testimony in Igbo, although few English words exist, but here it is.
