Please am not trying to start any tribal war. With the current decline in the love for our culture I just want to contribute my quota in making our languages not to be obsolete. For igbo people especially those that didn't grow up in the east and are used to engli-igbo. Ask me any tin in english that you don't know in igbo and I will answer you with the central igbo ie igbo nzugbe. 1 Like |

ChinenyeN: What's central Igbo's word/expression for mortgage? I don't know if this is C.I but we use it around Umuahia including some parts of Ngwa and Mbaise. Mortgage = Ibe ( accent high -high //) not to be confused with Ibe (Fellow \ /) To Mortgage = Igba Ibe To redeem = Isa Ibe (isara ibe, isahu ibe, isata ibe) 1 Like |

Yep, that's what I know. That's partly why I asked. I wanted to find out how widespread the usage of our "ibe" is, and whether or not it is used by Izugbe. Satowind, I'd still like to know what "mkpe" in aka mkpe means. |
