Ibo - men of African tribe that wear that women's wrappers

Igbo- weed

otopxy:
pls can someone tell me the meaning of the term "igbo"?

I think "invaders" or so..

They were fond of putting on masks trying to invade SW. They often got away with it till I think Moremi through marriage infiltrated their ranks and had them chased away for good.

EniHolar:

The same spelling not the same pronounciation...

The MOD should ban this guy

IjeleNwa:
It is "igbo" originally but how ever "Ibo" is the anglicized version using the English vocabulary,and this mispronouncement was done by the illegitimate semi igbo speakers from the South-souths and non speakers from other regions.

How the both pronounciations are accepted though partially but one still remains officially and formally which is "igbo"

Pls any contrary opinions should state below......

Biko, what is the meaning of Igbo in Igbo language. At least every word should have a meaning...

Pls stop writing rubbish

bakaredc:
I asked a friend of mine for clarification on this sometimes ago, she said igbo is the people and ibo is the language...how true?

Nonsense ....

Igbo is the people
Igbo is also the language.

Just like Yoruba is the people
And Yoruba is the Language

Hausa is the people
Hausa is also the language


Na Yoruba people wey no sabi pronounce am they misspell all those nonsense

Some go say Ibo
Some go say Y.ibo
Some go say Omo kobo kob

Their problem not ours

Igbo kwenu

Igbo is the tribe while ibo is the language.

It's both. You're still using English language (latin characters) to write the name, so it doesn't matter, since the English writing can only be an approximation of how it's actually pronounced. Of course, depending on where the speaker is from it could sound more like IGbo (strong G), or igBO (where the g is barely audible), but very rarely Ibo (which is more like igBO).

Details about how it's spelled when talking about the people vs the language are just historical artifacts. Personally, I prefer Igbo (since it's truer to the sound)

flokii:


Actually Yorubas coined that name "igbo".. The igbos at that time didn't know how to read and write.

I'm happy they prefer the Yoruba coined "igbo" to the colonial masters "ibo"

Are u serious or u just want people to insult u?

How can Yoruba coin the word "Igbo" while they can't even pronounce it and don't even have gb in the own language?

Are u for real?

Yoluba means coward or snake in my language.

E pain m
Lol...

The proper word is "Igbo"

There is nothing like Ibo. It's Igbo. It's Yoruba's that calls it Ibo.

I don't think the op meant it the way u think he meant it.

Ìgbò – Tribe or people group
ìgbó – weed

Though they are spelt the same way, the pronunciation sets them apart so they can't be confused when spoken.

"Ibo" is the tribe.

"Igbo" is the language

"Igbo" is the tribe.

"Ibo" is the language

I was disappointed at one university Exam I just wrote, I saw ibo instead of Igbo
