I am working on a project(www.umuigbo.com). I want to create an environment where people can find almost every information they need about the Igbos, a one stop where people can listen to any Igbo music without searching/scrolling youtube, where people can easily find the meaning of any Igbo names thereby saving google and other search engines some bandwidth, and a lot more features for people that like/love Igbo language. In other to make these dream become a reality, I need a lot of help from all angles. These are some of what I need.

If you take a look at (www.umuigbo.com) it is still on early stage. We want to achieve this dream and we cannot do it without help from you guys.

Umuigbo Kwezuo nu!!!!!

O dikwa nma.

The problem we have however is continuity,we don't have patience to build what we start.I hope in the next 2 years this site wud still be running.

www.igbolandforum.com

Why not?

Maka na ufodu di na mbu ma ugbu a they're not in existence anymore.

There are way too many Igbo related websites/forums out there. Can't we come together to build one that'll be a force to be reckoned with.

deco2come, the Umuigbo website looks like a good resource for learning Igbo. If you need an online Igbo-English and English-Igbo dictionary to refer to your students, they could use one that I created

http://mkpuruokwu.org/

For example, you can see the definition of house-rat at [url]http://mkpuruokwu.org/dictionary?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=house-rat&dict=en-ig[/url]. Best of luck with your project!

I have tried opening your website but it takes forever to open. This is my 8th times now but I cannot open it. What is wrong?

deco2come the Website worked today when I tried. Please check on someone else's Internet connection to see if it loads. If it doesn't, I'd like to know what browser and what kind of connection you used. Thanks.

Is it a forum or just an Igbo language website?

Is it a forum or just an Igbo language website?

Both forum and Language website. The forum section is still under construction. We will appreciate if you can help us in providing the information we need to make all things work. Thank you
