My sister good afthernoon oo, I see you trying to test my Igbo skills grin grin grin. I'm not that good at reading or writing Igbo, some of the unlucky ones like my brothers and sisters grew up with ndi awusa and only traveled home to the east on Chrismas vacations.

I'll try to translate as much as I could though.

Nwanyi--------- Woman.
N'akwa------------Is Sewing.
Akwa--------------dress.

Umu igbo please come and see what the power of information can do, some Igbo people from Ikwerre and delta claims they are not Igbos because of lack of information, go through this thread and see how this issue was dealt with, and tell me what you think, there is surely hope for Igbo unity
