Earthbound:

I suggest you stop your itk attitude before you hurt yourself. I know more than one Ezimorah

Nothing Like "Ezimorah" in Igbo Language. No Igbo word that has letter 'H' in the end

opribo:
Wèrè. Means take in igbo
But mad in yoruba

Àśiri means gossip in igbo but secret in yoruba

Ifè means something in igbo but love in yoruba.

The emboldened is false, I am afraid

They are pronounced differently

Meanwhile, I've never seen a Yoruba person who speaks Igbo fluently...not even my neighbors back in the day in Enugu and my friend who spent give years at FUTO

You guys are getting it wrong, It's "Ola Ni Iyi"

They are 3 different words

Ramotu is person name in Yoruba
Ramotu is fvck my pvssy in Igbo
Yemisi is person name in Yoruba
Yemisi is give me head in Igbo

EzePromoe:
The Olaniyi name kind of cracks me up.
One word but two opposite meanings.
BTW It's Olanihi in Igbo and it means 'the destroyer'

Meanwhile let me add;

Ogbo means Sponge (Igbo) and Monkey (Yoruba)
Obo means Retaliation (Igbo) and Female (Yoruba)
Oba means barn (Igbo) and King (Yoruba)

It's Olaniyi
Someone/something who waste something = Waster

akuko: story (news) in Igbo. cock in Yoruba

Olanike- Going Inside nyash

You are going far, even igbo itself have different meaning in yoruba

Shelloween:
mechie onu.
To itch is "Uko" not "Oko"
There is no Igbo name spelt as "Ezimorah"

in delta here oko is 'itch' he is right even though we are not the true owners of the language

ChopBellefull:
Okute is stone in igbo and okuta is stone in Yoruba

Akpa is bag in igbo and akpo is bag in youruba

okwute not okute

gbemishile:

7. Jide
It’s pretty amazing how two different tribes can have the same name for male children. Though to be fair in Igbo, this name is the short form of Jideofor.

In Yoruba, Jide is the short form of Babajide, Olajide etc. In Igbo, Jide means to hold. While in Yoruba, it can mean “has come/resurfaced”.

our name but in igbo

Akabuking:

oko= itch
uko=lack or scarce.

Guys, Guys....
Both are correct depending on the region.

"Oko" and "Uko" can both have up to three meanings each, depending on the punctuation.

Ókó = itch (some region)
Úkó = itch (some region)
Ùkò = wooden plate
Ùko = Native grill

Its The Ami That Diffrentiate Pronounciation In yoruba Language For Oko Without The Signs Properly Placed Means A Lot Of This For Example Husband,Car,Farm And So Many Things

UgoManchester:

People are adding H to their names these days for whatever reason

ChopBellefull:
Okute is stone in igbo and okuta is stone in Yoruba

Oga it is olaniyi in Igbo not olanihi. Please go back to your Igbo 101.

No. 6; Aja means Dog in Yoruba
Aja can mean sacrifice in Igbo as well

Remember that when you add tone marking in these related words, they mean different thing both in Igbo and Yoruba

gbemishile:
When someone says “One Nigeria”, many Nigerians internally scoff. Some even go as far as doing it on the outside.

This is because Nigeria is full of many tribes who do not seem to have a lot in common.

But when you look closely, many Nigerian tribes have many things in common such as culture, food and even languages.

The Yorubas and Igbos may seem to be as different as the sun and moon. But they have lots in common, especially in language.

Here are 7 words you’d find in both Yoruba and Igbo languages , although they may have different meanings and pronunciations:

1. Ile
Any Yoruba person will tell you that this word means “House”. In the Igbo language, this word means “Tongue”.



2. Enu
In Igbo, enu means “Up” while in Yoruba, it refers to the Mouth.



3. Owu
Can you believe this word means the same thing in both languages? Yes, it does. Owu is both the Yoruba and Igbo word for Thread.



4. Ede
Ede is the Yoruba word for language. It is also the Igbo word for Cocoyam.



5. Olaniyi
In Igbo “Olaniyi” means “Someone that has no value, a waste!” In Yoruba is a name, not just a Name,perhaps it’s a name per excellence which means “Wealth Has Value“. But imagine what the meaning was in Igbo language, someone can’t bear Olaniyi in the east in peace �



6. Aja
Aja is found in both languages albeit with different meanings. In Igbo, Aja means Sand. But it means Dog in Yoruba.



7. Jide
It’s pretty amazing how two different tribes can have the same name for male children. Though to be fair in Igbo, this name is the short form of Jideofor.

In Yoruba, Jide is the short form of Babajide, Olajide etc. In Igbo, Jide means to hold. While in Yoruba, it can mean “has come/resurfaced”.



8. Oja
When someone says the word “oja” in Yoruba, they mean market. In Igbo, Oja is the name given to the flute.

Drop your comments..

You forgot Ramotu

ebig21:

nawa oo, you sure say you be Igbo, oko means to itch, Ezimora means, I teach the public, that is I have shown the world what I'm capable of

You have time for that unbaptized pagan. Immediately I saw his gibberish comment I overlook him because I know he is not a real Igbo man.

Holywizard:
Even 'Oraotù' and Oraikpu

3. Owu
Can you believe this word means the same thing in both languages? Yes, it does. Owu is both the Yoruba and Igbo word for Thread.
.

Many tribes seem to have this word meaning the same thing. In Idoma from Benue state, owu means thread as well.

Na wa oo. Naxo I dey call YEMISI today some IBO guyz just dey look me as if I said something wrong. Not until they tell me the meaning for Igbo.I know better now. Learning never stop.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Igbos are far greater than the Yorubas in every aspect. Go and argue with your keypad.

Very funny.
