itsik: 100% supported..
Let me try Anya gi na eme m Football and it's languages are alien to us and so our traditional vocabularies do not encompass such premises. 'Ugwo or Opipia' can be used as Igbo words for 'penalty' as regard little repercussions.
Osi na mpio puta 4. Its 5.30pm Okuola iri ato gafee elekere ise Egwugwu no na Igwe Oguru odinani na uzu na nnukwu mahadum dina Egypt
Afurum nkita ohia taa i.e: there may be Igbo words for every type of animal but some can also be generally referred

We just need to go beyond promoting our indigenous languages, we must place it at the forefront of our whole cultural and educational enterprise. English should be an OPTION. For example Igbo due to its majority status must move towards independence. |

No.1 - I miss you Interpretation - owu gi ama gbuo la m. No.2 - its a penalty shootout Interpretation - o wu osuo, ogba. (Don't igbonize the word penalty) |
