The way igbos dey speak yoruba ehn!

If they ever have a country yoruba would be their 2nd official language.
Arrant nonsense!

The Igbos have great aptitude for languages. Go up north and see how proficient Igbos are in mastering Hausa language.

It is probably only an Igbo person that would spend less than three years in a place like China and is able to speak the language with fluency.

FORGET , IGBO LANGUAGE IS GOING INTO EXTINCTION.. YORUBA LANGUAGE IS THE MOST SPOKEN AND EASIEST LANGUAGE IN NIGERIA


GO ASK YOUR IGBO ARTISTES

Says who?? They speak some bits of Yoruba when they want to make you part with that money you've been saving.

Once you've paid your tithe and dues, they go back to their "nwanna olee way".

You dont know,all what you have in Lagos,Kaduna, will be confiscated,are you sure all other easterners will follow you guys. Most of you ran from your family in your village,you will go back to them.

Well lets just say ohaneze will graduate from shouting tribalism to shouting xenophobia from across the Niger

LOL!
You dey mind them... The way Igbos shout "Biafra" like if they get it they are ready to pack their bags and leave the west is just funny.
E go surprise you how they will fight tooth and nail to stay here. Some will even be smuggled across the river Niger. And we don't want any wahala.

1. E kàárọ̀/E kaasán
E kàárọ̀ is the Yoruba word for ‘Good Morning’ while E kaasán is for ‘Good afternoon’. Throw that in when you’re at the office with the cleaner instead of the regular ‘Good Morning’

Who is Olamide? Who is phyno? Who is nigga raw or Id yabasi abi na id Tabasco?

I don't know those phools.

I blast osadebe, I blast Oliver D' Coque,I blast pericomo. I also blast Sunny Ade and Fela.

All I'm saying is that if you take your o daro or owa to Alaba, Idumota, trade fair complex, young men would build skyscrapers on top of your head.

No one get time to shout or mutter incantations or prostrate for no one. We shake hands and move on sharp sharp leaving you with your sokoto and agbada collecting sand and dust.

That language would be spoken where there would be too much heat with the smell of sulphur. The landlord there love incantations and Yoruba language sound like one.

Exotic language like Igbo is the language of heaven.

Angel Gabriel and Saint Peter would be like..."nwanna irutego?, kee ka imelu? Ngwa bata, Eze enigwe edozigolu gi ebe iga ebi"... I would shake his hand and grab my keys..

At the other side with lots of smoke and fumes, the landlord and his area boys would be swearing and cursing at you for not prostrating on the hot char coals.
