On the Nairaland topic ‘New Igbo Words Being Formed On Igbodefender.com/forums’, Mbatuku2 said, ‘The Igbo word for spider web(onya) could be worked around to get Igbo words for Internet, Webpages, etc. Let’s emulate the japanese and israelis who always convert western terminologies into distinct equivalents in their own language.’

Following Mbatuku's suggestions, we declare that:

Website = onyasaiti
Webpage = onyapeji in Igbo

Alternative words are:

Website = webusaiti
Webpage = webupeji
