Hilarious Quotes In Igbo Language by chuxyz(m): 11:00pm On Jul 09, 2014
Living in typical igbo town such as Aba or Onitsha is quite fun with the kind of hilarious quotes that you hear on daily basis. These are the ones i can remember for now:

1. Hapu ihe e dere na moto banye moto (Leave what is written on a motor and enter motor)
Meaning: Taking action is a priority over having details or previous knowledge

2. Kee ncha bu omo? (Which soap is omo?)
Meaning: How far? or What's up?

3. Onye m ga-egbuli m ga rio chineke ka o nyere m aka? (One i can defeat do i still need to beg God for help?)
Meaning: Self explanatary

4. Gaa washington ka ha washia nti gi (Go to washington so your ear can be washed)
Meaning: Told to a deaf ear

5. Agbacha oso a gwuo mile (After the race, the miles or distance covered is calculated)
Meaning: Being reflective after a difficult task

6. Ogaracha must come back (He who wanders away must come back)
Meaning: You can not totally shy away from your responsiblities

Do we have Aba or Onitcha or other Igbo boys boys here? Please let's keep it rolling...
