God bless you - people forget anyone can edit wikipedia - that is why here in the USA - You can never use Wikipedia as a reference in any academic work or course work in college else you will fail woefully

NaMe4:


It's even restricted/disallowed in some Countries due to its high potential to misinform.

Cannot be used for academic citation or reference.

Anyone in doubt should use wikipedia as the major source of information/data for his/her professional exam, if you no go "learn new thing"!


The original idea as an easily accessible digital encyclopedia was a great one, albeit undermined by activities of various people who choose to ignore the importance of facts.

HNICEARTH:


The bini meaning is treasury or savings, according to some folks here.

The igbo meaning is digits, numbers or account number according to the dictionary.

LoveLeadsLand:

Just because Wikipedia said it doesn't mean it is Igbo. I'm Igbo but I'm not familiar with the word. Give an example of its usage in an Igbo sentence if you are sure of what you are saying.


Aza Ekwentị is ìgbo word for Phone Number .

Zooposki:


The talk does not even sound Igbo. When did you guys start doing yahoo yahoo? Abeg send me your aza. Does that sentence sound like what an igbo boy would say or a benin boy?

AutomaticMotors:
Ibo ppl funny sha

Emeka I don dey wait make you throw the first insult and if you run go dey play victim now that I have come for you like your ppl are known for na Ogun go baptise your pelebe head!!For your mind, you are making sense abi? Sense is very far from you. Ewu Gambia!!!

Make I give you reference for my own lingo again abi this OZUOR dey ment!! Where did you think Burna Boy got that "Aza" word from = His Cult
And Where did Aye Confraternity originate From? = Edo

What Language is Aye cult basic baming words based on = Edo

I no blame you sha na Burna Boy and davido I blame mey make Jew men with pelebe head like your own con dey use words mey Dem no understand dey catch cruise!!

ABC101FF:
Accept correction and move on. The word (not a slang) azà means numbers or treasure hunt in Igbo language. There's no such word as "aza" in the Benin or any other Edo language. Again, IT IS NOT A SLANG. Wikipedia can be written or edited by anyone with basic HTML knowledge.

HNICEARTH:


"but this word doesn’t sound Igbo"

and your proceeded to use the word as an igbo word in an igbo sentence as example. Even though it has another meaning in that example.
Dont you think you are contradicting yourself?

Below is an igbo dictionary that states the meaning of aza in igbo with also an example.
I think you should try and study your language very well.

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

KosiGee:


Yes, you are tribalism, instigator and Igbos should avoid people like you in real life. You could be worse than people like Reno Omokri.

If you had to use Ahmadu Bello’s bitter and hate filled speech to back your paranoia, you could be worse than him.

I’m Igbo and our language is vast. I’ve NEVER of any Igbo person use the word aza in the context that it’s being claim and discussed here.

If anyone know the town, people or place that use that word, kindly mention them. I don’t think it’s enough to Wikipedia. Mention the Igbo towns/people who use this word.

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

HNICEARTH:


You heard it first in benin, does not mean it originated from Benin. It's not a benin word, it's an igbo word.

lesson44:
I head it means digits in Igbo language. But in Benin language, it means saving account. . It fair to say, the word was made popular by the Edo’s.

HNICEARTH:


Another take. Some said it means treasury. I don't dispute all those takes. But it's also an igbo word for digits, numbers or account number

OceanEye:
A client once told me to send my aza. I was confused and had to Google the meaning before replying him.

Solofresh2:
Aza is a Yoruba word for digits meaning, drop your account digits
Argue with your ancestors

Showguyz:

Is like people for SE dey like argument abi them no install Google for una phone or your opera mini daily bundle has finished? I told you that Bini empire once dominated western Igbo and even discovered onitsha instead of you to Google and verify or go ask your igwe(if you have one) you are crying propaganda
EMEKA I EVEN SAW YOU FELLOW CHUWU HERE SAY AZA IS IGBO FOR ACCOUNT NUMBER PLEASE FELLOW NAIRALANDER WASN'T ACCOUNT NUMBER INVENTED IN THIS MODERN ERA BUT IN BENIN IT MEAN A PLACE WHERE YOU SAVE Money EVEN IN ACCIENT TIMES. SO OBI CRY YOURSELF TO SLEEP

saddler:

Account number in a Nigerian language?

When did the concept of Account numbers come into use that igbo language has a word for it?

Tallesty1:
Nah, not pastor.

Evangelist is better, rugged evangelist.

lols, crazy but special days mean nothing to me. Christmass, Easter, Val, Birthday etc. They are just another day as far as I am concerned.

Why go to bed now wey I just dey come? I dey pursue you?

thesicilian:
Igbo people sha
I fear who no fear them
They can drag anything draggable
Either they are dragging Lagos with the yorubas, or asaba with the deltans, or words that originated in other tribes as their own. Soon they'll start dragging Malaysia with the owners
