berem: Am sure the yorubas around you must have taken offence. There were no Yorubas there It was just the delegates eating lunch But the Ofe had a lot of nmanu,what else should it be called Is it not an ofenmanu? Isn't that the proper description of the soup I just talked about? |

Afam4eva: For some reason, i hate being called OKORO. It is derogatory,your name is not Okoro so I can see why If someone called Okoro to my face the person will get a tongue lashing or eye rolling ,it is meant to be called behind your back They won't call it to your face anyway Just like people wouldn't yell out hey this Yoruba come here |

Afam4eva: For some reason, i hate being called OKORO.what of people who have okoro as surnames? |
Re: Origin Of Why Hausas Call Igbos Nyamiri by Afam4eva(m): 6:59pm On Jan 22, 2013 |
berem: what of people who have okoro as surnames?It's their surname so there's nothing wrong with it. But for someone whose name is not okoro, it's annoying. And btw, okoro is not one of my favourite Igbo names. |

The one I find hilarious is when someone on NL calls another Omo nna and expect that it will upset the fellow It makes me laff Igbos call themselves Nne and nna when they speak So Omo nna couldn't be annoying at all Makes me laff sha |

babyosisi: The one I find hilarious is when someone on NL calls another Omo nna and expect that it will upset the fellowOmo nna to Yorubas is like when Igbos say Yoruba. These words are probably the most used words by people from these tribes. At least that's what people from the other tribes think. |

Afam4eva: Do you know that delta folks not Delta Ibo, answer Okoro? I have seen one and was shocked I thought it was only Igbos Isoko or somewhere I would like a delta person from the non Igbo part to confirm this |
Re: Origin Of Why Hausas Call Igbos Nyamiri by Afam4eva(m): 7:03pm On Jan 22, 2013 |
babyosisi:I think i've seen a none Igbo okoro too. Come to think of it, okoro is not even a common name in Igboland, so i wonder why they chose to use okoro as opposed to emeka or igwe or something else. |
Re: Origin Of Why Hausas Call Igbos Nyamiri by Nobody: 7:04pm On Jan 22, 2013 |
Afam4eva:I don't even know the meaning of okoro if you ask me. but i think it has to do with 'oke ' meaning share. |

Afam4eva:Mbaise people bear the name and mostly people from IMO state. what of okeke, okorie, okafor and okonkwo? don't they have similarities? |
Re: Origin Of Why Hausas Call Igbos Nyamiri by Tolexander: 7:13pm On Jan 22, 2013 |
babyosisi:ajaokuta ko, ewekoro ni! Ajeokutamamumi in its conotative meaning means somebody who takes a lot of food without taking water or takes little water. Many igbo in the southwest answere okoro. It is always on nairaland and sometimes in film that i do hear the Yoruba and Yoruba. Anyway, they are fun to me. |

Actualy, the word originated from igbos asking for water from their host. It definately wasnt during the war. |

My peep have been calling Okoros, Nyamiri way before the war and it was not because they were begging for water. The term was coined by market women because they heard Igbo door to door traders ask fellow Igbos for water when they stoppedal to visit those fellow Igbo traders who operated stalls at the markets. Much like the Igbo coined the Aboki term to refer to northern because they heard notherners call each other and others, Aboki. Aboki means friend, btw. |
