Now i know u are another efulefu igbo pesin, Eze is king in igbo (even me know it) and yes eze is teeth but it is all about the intonation everybody knows that. In igbo intonation of a word can make it have different meaning even if the spelling is the same (geez even i know that).

berra go and learn ur language and culture before u loss finish angry
