My friends, I need your assistance. I have encountered the phrase: "okenye aruru'ala" I am told that this is Igbo, which, I'm sorry to say, I neither speak nor read. What does this phrase mean? Thank you for your help! It is much appreciated! |

First of all, thank you for your translation! Very much appreciated! May I ask if this is a negative usage? If somebody refers to one as such, is it considered an insult? |

It depends on the context it's used. It could mean bad as in naughty. Or just a bad person. |
