Looking For A Calabar Translator by malone5923(m): 4:46pm On Feb 09, 2011
I need someone to translate some Calabar words for me. The person who said it to me is from Calabar, Irruan tribe. They are:
Mo nwei.
Mo jemo.
I'm not sure if I spelt it well but I need a translator asap!

There is no language in Nigeria called Calabar.

Calabar is a city and not a tribe. It's like saying something like "Help me translate this words in New york" grin grin grin. I think you mean Efik or ibibio.
Re: Looking For A Calabar Translator by malone5923(m): 10:54pm On Feb 09, 2011
Yeah I know but I don't know what language Calabar's speak so I had to stick with what people might understand.
@Afam. I'll keep that in mind.
So, do you guys have any idea what it means?

As you can realise, they do not want to offer any help. Do you mind trying Igbo language?.

I speak ibibio/efik which is the dialect spoken by the people from Calabar and yoruba it sounds almost like yoruba write more words or sentences
