Most of the literature up to at least the 80s used "ibo", if I'm not mistaken. I've seen lots of Igbo posters here use 'ibo' too.

I would expect your akata self to be able to pronounce the "gb" sound, but any West African will be able to pronounce Igbo using the correct pronunciation.

Therefore, since this is a Nigerian website, it should be written like Igbo. Would you want Yoruba?

Mekana:

get it right! its Igbo,

Since when?

gbamm so i see nothing wrong in it

i use igbo but if some of my igbo brothers use "ibo" then what is stopping other ethnic groups from using "ibo" we have to be the change if we want change

it is a free world just make sure u respect us and do not use it to insult us then we are cool

I prefer Ibo too, seems way better

Aigbofa:

Since when?

u sound yorobatic and unsurprisingly chauvinistic

When have Yoruba ever been called "Yoruba" historically?

Yarriba, Yoruba, Anago, Nago, etc, etc. But never Yoruba. . .

Mekana:

Who? me? chauvini what? O tio.

Aigbofa:

I think ibo flows better. I also think ibos are trying to distance themselves from it because it stands for[b] I[/b] B[/b]efore [b]O[/b]thers, which decribes them so perfectly.

Well, if they want it as Igbo, then Igbo it should be. Just to respect them, even if Its hard to pronounce.

Personally,I think [b]I [b]G[/b]o [b]B[/b]efore [b]O[/b]thers sounds better anyways.

Aigbofa:

speak english and don't hide ur semantic deficiency on that terrible vernacular

Mekana:

Ok Sir.

The only people who say "Yoruba" are Igbos who think they are funny and clever.

"Oh gee, a Yoruba king is called an 'oba'. . . let me mispell Yoruba as 'Yoruba'! This will be very amusing!"

Anyway, I've no problem calling you guys what you want to be called, but I'm sure as of the 80s, everyone spelled it "Ibo."

I'll let my Igbo brother Mekana handle this.

I'm sure he can handle these pathetic excuses for men. 

5 against 1 is what we Igbos enjoy.

Whichever way they want it, it's all the same. Selfish to the core.

Some of them are just so pathetic you have to ignore them.

Igbos have been variously tagged with different names, but certainly not as rapists nor as sodomites, incestous. Remember OBJ to Mojisola Obasanjo; Remember Onabanjo to his daughter, to mention but few. These are supposedly yorobatic elders.

Who is ganging up on anyone? I'm just correcting facts here.

One thing I must say is that some Yorubas are so stooopid.

They always try to pick a fight with the Ndigbo even though we are not the reason why they are suffering.

Maybe they should never have sided with the Hausa. Oh well. . . No biggie to me.

What of Ojukwu to Bianca? You cannot prove anything against Onabanjo or Obasanjo. The Ikemba was not exactly hiding his pedophilia.

Aigbofa:

What of Ojukwu to Bianca?

legally and traditionally married to her

My Igbo brethren and sistren: Let the foolish Yoruba continue to hate. Remember that most on this section do not represent their brothers and sisters.

We shall continue to prosper and let our actions, not our words show them why God has favored us.

Mekana:

legally and traditionally married to her

Was he at Bianca's christening as a dirty old man? I can't even imagine what was going through his mind the day he started to fancy Bianca!

in the past 20th century, a man from Ogun state, Egba or Ijebu (who cares) embarked on sex escapade, devouring all the virgins he could get hold of, from London to NY, from lagos to abeokute. Guess who? Moshooood Abiola, a man who wanted to rule naija, a pervert!!!

people like you are silly

u claim to own there land even though it is a lie

u claim to hate them because of the war even though they do not kill u people like they do in the north and other parts of the country

you claim they betrayed ojukwu and igbo even though awo clearly knew how arrogant ojukwu was and also how nnamdi betrayed awo first

you claim they call igbo as ibo, ,.,.,. when the word was coined by igbos themselves

you claim they are tribalistic but as you can see they are not, there vote was split between the north and south

and the list goes on and on

so shut the f up and go and sleep

They need to stop chasing women and start chasing money. This is a joke.

Obasanjo impregnated mojisola for impotent gbenga

Alj Uche:

When did 80% become an equal split?  

Ha ha ha

Of course GEJ would get OVERWHELMING support from his region. Didn't Obama get 90% of the black vote?

Mekana:

Obasanjo impregnated mojisola for impotent gbenga

. . . does that make him a p/e/d/o/p/h/i/l/e?

Mekana:

Were they adults when this happened? Then, no pedophilia here, all is good. Nobody likes dirty old men ogling their little underage daughters.
A drooling old man chasing after a little girl, how nasty.
