Stop biting yourself. I don't insult Yoroobas. If you really do have an evidence, present it. I am too decent to do that.
I face morons like you on a personal basis. You should feel privileged that I decide to face you at my spare times. Facing you does not mean insulting your tribe as you do to my tribe. Get some rest before you slump out of high blood pressure.

We yorubas in my area dont say igbo neither did we say ibo, it is Igbo. even there is an idiom in yoruba it is said to sturbon ppl "koo to ko agidi bori bi faanu Igbo" how can you  be so adamant like Igbo's fan lol.

What is the issue about all these rant and blablabla spelling and mispelling saga to heat up the house again for goodness sake?

Why cant guys just for once stay out of all this stuffs of unecessary verbal confrontation on this site?

I cant really understand what is the problem of so many people are if Yoruba called "Igbo" as "Ibo" this to me is not sign of disrespect in anyway my parent are from the East based in South west many of my family and friends still pronounce "Yoruba" as "Yoruba" and the Yorubas are not angry or complaning about it or see it as sign of disrespect I dont know why my fellow Igbo man picking offence in this issue. Guys we need to understand ourselves and get it to our head that every tribe has its own way of tongue and pronounciation and let stop all these nasty sentiments.

As I often say it really baffles me all the time why we Igbo just like picking on Yoruba people at all time. Sorry to say this, these people has done us no wrong infact they should be our best friend because they are the most accomodating tribe in the whole Nigeria and these people are the only tribe a stranger from other tribe could live among them and they will not complain or treated you as stranger this is just the honest truth I know many will be upset by this fact BUT to me they are just the best tribe aside my own tribe Igbo that I can relate with without any issue or problem sometime I do tell my Igbo friends complaning about this people who has NOT done us any evil is this not sign of complexity on our side?, because to me these people are good to be honest Iam proud to say this about the Yoruba's. No apology for all I said and please no one should get offended as well its just a fact. God bless.

If you dont shut your gutter breathe for here. Eddiiiot.
I'll let someone else post your "senseless mistakes" since I cant be bothered.
Are Yorubas the only ones that post "Ibos"? Are they the only ones that say "Ibos"?
The North has no respect for you, they are slaughtering Southerners as we type, but it's the Yorubas that you face.
Ah ahn, what is your problem gan na? Did they born you people mad?
We let you into our lands. We accommodate you. You're successful in our lands. We dont slaughter you like pigs like the Northerners do in their land. But somehow you can never get over your fear of the Yorubas.

You are simply mad.  You can count your blessings that the Yorubas are peaceful, what the North did from 4/16 till now would have been like a walk on paradise for you.

Useless Inyamiri. Always hating on Yorubas. Ko ni da fun e ati were to bi e. nonsense.

Start by writing a letter(s) to WAEC, NECO, JAMB---e.t.c, that a national correction needs to be made! Tell them to start deducting huge marks from students that write "IBO" instead of "IGBO" in their exams!

it is offensive if you know the correct way to spell it, but you choose to write otherwise.
but then again, why is everyone in here flogging a dead horse? why are some people losing their heads? better yet, why is this even on the front page? many people that DON'T know anything about Nigeria, will probably assume that Nigeria is like Nairaland. abeg, this site no good oooo.

Almost every Igbo that comes on NL says the same thing, until they're changed by Yoruba-Hating Igbos.

Your Igbo sis/bro must also be hating.

And you will think you are smart.Yorooobas always complicate issues.What is wrong in saying,''i used to be wrongly called Ibo,I am Igbo instead?''

lol--- Yh' I'm smart! It's ok if you want a national change darling. I've already given you a solution.

Seriously though, I personally, don't write/type "Ibo" instead of "Igbo" (maybe I have, a few times on this thread-- but I was just tryna pass a point across).  I pronounce is at ibo, though (like everyone else).

So technically, I'm not guilty of "the crime". And I don't have a problem with Igbo people. My ex-boyfriend is igbo, so--

The problem I have with this thread is --It's a waste of time! Nobody is gonna listen to you guyz, Trust me! So, why bother. And the unfortunate thing is that in the process, tribal insults and all that are being thrown around.

Now, you have behaved like a literate Yoruba Lady. Stop exhibiting illiteracy and tout like attitude. Did you hand bend after you wrote "Igbo"? Contrary to your opinion, I gat no problem with you. Just enjoying myself.

Bluetooth, for real, No one is stopping you. If you insist on calling us "Ibos", no wahala. As for me, I will call you Yorooba. If you have no problem with that, then we are good. No shaking.

chamber2:

Now you are talking.

Ileke-IdI:

These are the widely accepted spelling/pronunciations:

Igbo
Igbo
Ibo
Ebo
Eboh


Depending on the accent.

Ileke-IdI:

I've always typed Igbo on NL.

You and your ilks are the ones that prefer "Yoruba" "yeribas" yorbas" and what not. Too bad we didnt care enough to cry about it as you did.

Even in historical journals and international news articles, sometimes its spelled as "Igbos". Even Igbos spell it as "Ibos". But noooooo, it's the Yorubas that you start crying to.

You must be dying from some sort of inferiority complex.

Justcash:

ACCENT you said. Call it the way you want. Write it correctly. That the Chinese people call English, "Engrish" does not stop them from writing it as English.
First of all, you are Nigerian. Foreigners can call Igbos wrongly, and it will be understandable. But a full grown Naija babe no go yarn say she no know say na "Igbo". Ok, let's say that you didn't know. I have told you now. Still, I am not forcing you o! I am just telling you the correct way of writing it. The only thing is that, I have decided to call your ethnic group differently since I want you to call mine correctly. For real, that isn't supposed to be a problem. If I see an Igboman calling Igbo "Ibo", I will call him an Ibo man. In Igboland, Ibo men are efulefus (Lost Igbo sons that know nothing about their tribe)

what exactly is the problem though? The fact that people type "Ibo" or the fact that people pronounce it as "ibo"? Because if it's the latter, then the whole of Nigeria is guilty as charged. So, why attacking Yorubas then?
