Why is it that you people are always accusing others of what you yourselves are very guilty of? You said that Igbos are insultive but you yourself, this your comment, does it show that you are a well-trained person?

See you. You are on a forum and you're waiting for someone just to quarrel with him. Are you not ashamed of yourself for being so petty?

That's how you people carried a coffin depicting the death of a whole president in 2014 and 2015. But now when anybody says a little thing about Tinubu you begin to cry and then say it is other people who are insulting. Kai! You're extremely disgusting. I spit on you a trillion times. Both you and theSicilian.

It was a coded name for the treasurer in NeoBlackMovement of Africa aka .... It has been in use for decades. Davido and most of the celebrities who promoted the word are members of this group. NBM started in UniBen as a group of intelligent but rugged students that arose to fight against intimidation, oppression and suppression of the black people through Apartheid and slavery although that mission has gone south long ago when it went off campus into the street. The source of the word remains unknown since most of their slangs and gyrations were borrowed from different parts of Nigeria. NBM is not a tribal or regional confra.

HNICEARTH:
Aza is an igbo word, which means digits or numbers.
Overtime, it was widely adopted in nigeria as a slang for bank account number

There’s is basically nothing in Nigeria Igbo will not claim origin of. Na wa! Go and do ur research, AZA it a Benin word for Bank and Banking

.

Reading through this thread clearly established that the word 'aza' has etymological origin and usages from among the Benin/Edo people. Contributors have shown various examples of this from time immemorial. However, no such etymological usage can be found with the Igbo people. This was established by @KosiGee.

Since etymology is the father of dictionary, it could not probably have been a word of Igbo origin simply because someone decided to type it in there only fairly recently.

I have come to learn a thing or two from these Benin people when they lay claim to something: they are always very foundational. imho.

Showguyz:

I be bini boy, I sabi lie.

True. And you go explain taya. No evidence.

Firstcitizen:
Igbo borrowed the word from ancient Benin warriors who conquered large parts of Igboland.

Whoever updated Wikipedia with the word is dubious sha

WHEN did bini conquer Igbo?

ogbonti:


God bless you -- those here claiming "aza" as their language even when we know it is a Bini word are making me believe to some extent what Ahmadu Bello said about them ---- this is why the "GOOD MAN" Obi may find it very difficult to become Nigeria's President of Nigeria because his people are busy making enmity for him ----- there is something about them- feeling so superior above everyone - not a good thing

before anyone call me a tribalist here - please follow my history on nairaland - I have always been Pro-Ibos here - BUT on this blind argument on the word "Aza" - which they are claiming so blindly - I am watching their behavior now with keen interest

please watch below

You go explain taya, no evidence.

The full word is Ihaza, and it is an NBM term for the treasurer.

Davido sang with it as Aza being the short form of Ihaza and it became popular.

I just mumu. I no sabi Google and I no wan better for life.

True I already know in show for your body

you're sick, try slimcase and Larry gaga

he's actually right, everyone on that axaman song are all ayes, the real name is ihaza(person in charge of money in the cult group) but those musician shortened it to azaman in Yahoo parlance so as not to cast that o.t.
Aza is a Benin word for treasure safe or money safe, just as most vikings ot are based on Igbo language because it's formed in Easter past,so is ayes ot because it's founded in uniben.

Spit on your mother that got kwashiorkor from the war and spit heavily on Ojukwu that brought the civil war on your mother...... Thunda fire that your head Ozour

Aza is not an Igbo word OGA,it is the Benin word for bank and it was popularized by yahoo boys in Benin and Edo in general...

The scavengers have gone to edit the word aza on Wikipedia.

It was even this thread I got to know the meaning of ecoaza(Treasury room)which is an inner room without windows in my grandfather's house,that's where he stores all his valuables, including beverages,money and precious items sent to h by his son from abroad. We were thinking it was just charms and juju in there.

See, make una rest,the whole of Edo state Aza is known as Treasury,a place where treasures are stored. My mom is not even main Benin but Edo north and echo-aza means room in mher tribe, echo-aza is a special room important things are kept,like money,brevages,ghone(Gold jewelries) and mand precious items. It's a room without windows,just like a safe.
I grew up thinking it was just a room of charms where my late grandfather kept his juju and other stuffs even though I knew he kept important stuffs sent by his son from Europe in the 70s and early 80s.
In conclusion,aye musicians brought the Slang to limelight being that what boosted the slang was done by aye cult based artists and the cult originated from university of Benin, it's an Edo word.
Case closed..

Aza is word in my language in owan edo state, is a room without window that money and valuable things are kept, just like a bank

efogie:



AZA means save, house or sack were money or valuable are kept in Benin. This word was made famous among youth by Davido who happen to have a Benin background. My view.

Slim case actually made use of the word First in his song AZA MAN

That is why we have Aza Land forum.

Aza is a good term, short and concise.
