Olodudu, Aileke,

Agha!!


Nago!! Nago!! wink

grin

Sure i got this right, i learnt some of the dialects while i served in Kogi. Come to think of it, Ogori-mangogo was so popular during our Orientation camp that most of us dread serving there, no light, no network, no ? but alas, it was all rumour as most of my friends that served there enjoyed it.

Oogori mangogo, , so sweet a pronounciation ooogori mangongo
Re: Ogori - Magongo? by OhioLady(f): 8:28pm On Sep 06, 2007
Olowotee, so sweet of you for the pronunciation; but I don’t know what "Olodudu, Aileke, Agha & Nago Nago means
I don’t know about the no light, no network issue in Ogori also. The last time I’ve been to my village was in 1990 (17 years ago).
One thing I know for sure is that Ogorians are lovely, beautiful, friendly and caring people. They take real good care of anyone who comes in contact with them.

Take care & God Bless smiley

"Olodudu, Aileke, Agha & Nago Nago" is of Igala language, Actually, I got attracted to this site when i saw the title: "Ogori-Magongo" It reminded me of the beautiful land-Kogi State, I really enjoyed my NYSC Year, It was all exciting! I learnt alot about the State and it's many regions such as Ogori, Igala, Ankpa, Dekina, Okene, Olamaboro etc. Guess, I'm really in love with that state wink  grin

Do have a nice time too and God Bless You.

Please, I want to learn Ogori language, Im a native of Ogori but my mother is not. I live with my mother but she doesnt speak Ogori. Is there any text book I can read? if not could someone send to me, Ogori basic language?
Re: Ogori - Magongo? by chukz4real(m): 9:14am On Jun 10, 2009
Ogori Magongo! I like that place so well. No power failure, constant water supply. Hmmm, just that they lack jobs there causing some sort of immorality on the part of their ladies. Majority of the dwellers living below N500 per day. I visited a corper friend there couple of years back and their ladies sells their God given thingy for as cheap as N1000 for more than a month. Lol. Funny world. Different strokes for different folks. Not their faults actually. The small population of the gals that are not promiscous are ghost workers at the local govt. secretariat. Learnt they have about 6 profs!

Surpising news sad. I am an Ogori lady cool and this is quite of a shock and derogatory  cry> sad. In every community there might be the few bad eggs  lipsrsealed embarassed but by and large Ogori wife is the best that can happen to a man. wink
Re: Ogori - Magongo? by osisomeyi: 1:14pm On Feb 09, 2010
Ogori is alive. She cannot fade or go into extinct. If u c urself getting out of contact sacrifice by going home once (ogori ro ayo eko, eke wura), not necessarily during the festive period. Ogori lives!
Re: Ogori - Magongo? by fayalitte: 11:19am On Feb 12, 2010
Guess we need to maximize the INTERNET to spread the Ogori Unity message, we also need to link up on a broader base using a forum like Facebook to being us all closer in today's global village, e ga mo suda, ega m'egben aaa

Ogori- Magongo Language cannot go extinct. The tribe is very much alive and known all over the world for her uniqueness and rich cultural value.
Re: Ogori - Magongo? by mykali(m): 9:35pm On Sep 23, 2010

I know the tribe and so I disagree on your post regarding the ladies. Girls from Ogori have dignity and they carry themselves with pride. A few bad eggs can be seen of course, and the situation is worsened by the fact that there are strangers who have blended into Ogori and are responsible for these vices.
But a typical girl from Ogori is decent and queenly.
