It is not in our nature to be touts and thugs that's why we don't have Igbo name for them.

You are so funny, do you know how many akara verbs we have in ìgbo land there is akara used for so many things like bitter nuts , Egusi paste ,etc obodo oyibo is of Igbo origin you can argue with your keyboard
I tell you. We have Akara and also Akanmu (Pap) note the Aka prefix in both Igbo words. The Yoruba version of Pap is Ogi. The same way one clown was dragging Ogbono before he was corrected by a fellow Yoruba is same way these ones will drag Akara, Egwusi, Oyibo and Oga. Now ask them to tell you the meaning of the above names in Yoruba and they will begin to blab.

Yoruba land is the only place in Nigeria, agberos are recognized and given unlimited power to act ..
Yoruba people prefer agberos to law enforcement agencies ..

NigeriINs can hardly mention a NURTW CHAIRMAN of their states ..

But we all know Auxillary, Mc olumo , And others ..
even Tinubu Na agberos Patron.

Agberos will be our Policemen when we finally get Oduduwa republic.OPC will be our ethnic militia.

You and your people have a penchant for arguing blindly without evidence.
As early as 1850 Akara & Oga (O ga in Yoruba means someone higher or greater) was used in Yoruba Bible to connote Bread and the Most High (Oga-Ogo). Breaking of bread in Yoruba theology is called E bukara. Show me any Igbo text around 1850 or earlier that has the word Akara or Oga.

Okro is a corruption of the English word Okra.
Yorubas call Okra Ila and ogbono Apon
See bro, I am tired of this people. How can we diplomatically support them to have their Biafra as quick as possible

discard that bullshit 'ogbono' has nothing to do with the yorubas. It was introduced to you guys by the Igbos.

Akara and Oyinbo (Eebo) are Yoruba words (Akara was in the earliest Yoruba Bible before Ajayi crowther produced the Igbo primer) Ebukara in Yoruba means communion (breaking of bread). Okro is a corruption of its English word Okra. Egusi is debatable
Have you ever asked yourself how Ajayi Crowther learnt Igbo? Igbo freed slaves in freetown Sierra Leone taught Ajayi Crowther and the fact was that, he wasn't the main producer of igbo primer but two other Igbo missionaries thar arrived with him. Egusi is never debatable though.

One of the tribes that like dragging Igbo words are the Yoruba’s. You’ll never see Igbo drag Yoruba words like Agbero, Ashawo, Ashebi, Abi, Nko etc.
Even Igbo gospel songs have now being translated to Yoruba. Tomorrow someone will come and tell us how we copied these gospel songs from them.

Like someone said, it's time Igbo trademark these Igbo unique words like Okra (Okwuru), Oga (Ogaranya), Oyibo, Akara, Ogbono (Ogbo — when it boils, Ono — it stays) and Egwusi before some people begin to drag it with their ancestors.
Quite educative: ogaranya and ogbono root words

You're an illiterate. Ajayi Crowther was a linguist. Not only did he produce Isuoma ibo premier but also Nupe and Ibani vocabularies.

It is because Yoruba language is the universal Nigeria language.

Even "Ashewo" that the south east governor wifes use in insulting themselves is from Yoruba.
We understand that those terms have Yoruba origins but when using Igbo to them, pronounce them the Igbo way
Agbero is agboro in Igbo
Ashẹwo is ashawo in Igbo

Any borrowed word into Igbo must follow Igbo grammatical rules

Oyibo in that Obodo Oyibo settles it. Obodo Oyibo - Land of the white man. Olaudah Equiano was the first to mention the word Oyibo in his book where he explained what the White man was called in his his part of Igboland.

More example:

The foreign item
1. Aki Oyibo - Coconut

The local derivative.
1. Aki Igbo - Palm Kernel
1. Aki Hausa - Gworo/Hausa Kolanut


2. Okuko Oyibo - Agric Foul

The local derivative
2. Okuko Igbo - Native Foul

The real meaning of Agbero is Bus conductor...

But because of their daily troubles at the park, people generalised them as tout.

Well, almost every tribe have a copy language, so there shouldn't be issues on that

Okwuru is an Igbo word, borrowed from the Igbo lexicon by even the English and now called "Okra" by every other person. Egusi is also a staple Igbo soup adopted and loved by other African non-Igbos, all the way to Europe, USA, same goes for Ogbono unlike ewedu that is yoruba owned and not even popular among other nigerians.

The word "Unu/Una" used in pidgin and creole English in Nigeria, West Africa and all the way to the Carribeans and West Indies is of Igbo origin. There are many more like Akamu (Pap), Aka gum (Stingy hand) etc all Igbo word adopted as national words/slangs. grin

Stop lying to yourself Mr yoruba man. grin

Very simple question with very easy answer. The average Yoruba guy or lady behaves like an Agbero tout, so Igbos liken any Igbo person who behaves in a similar manner, as an Agbero, another way of saying this our brother is behaving like a Yoruba person.
