@boldened
You are right that Dapo is written that way but wrong that it is pronounced as Dakpo. . .we pronounce the same way we write. If it was pronounced as Dakpo, then the spelling would have been D.a.k.p.o.

I think the 'k' you included is from the igbo alphabet/pronunciation cos I remember an igbo friend who wanted to write 'Pelumi' but wrote 'Kpelumi', another friend wrote 'Kponmo' instead on 'Ponmo'. . .when corrected, they both said they thought it is the right spelling cos they spelt it in an ibo way. All the same, if you call someone, Kpelumi, she will answer but will never accept it as a spelling of her name.

@topic
I have asked ibos/igbos this same question but their answers have always differed. Someone even said the pple are igbo while the language is ibo . So I just call whatever comes to my mouth.

Those Igbo people who thinks it is ibo did not sulk their mothers' breast properly. Some of them are children that no man paid a dowry or bride price on their mothers.
English people call them bast-azz.

Stop it.
It is illegal.
It is not good for your useless health and say no to drugs.

Ify27:
so what are the prices per lb

Mr man, I wrote earlier that ''ganja na agba kwa madu ara''. Since you are not good in asusu Igbo, I hereby translate that in asusu bekee-Ganja causes mental disorders.
Let me not warn you again about that in this your useless thread.

At the zenith of Benin empire, it extended to Ikare, Owoh, Ekiti etc, yet this groups are NOT INSANE to disclaim their Yorubaness unlike their Igbo counterparts that were also under Benin Empire. What a shame.

SapeleGuy:
Anioma State or Delta State, it makes no difference to us they would still be in the south south zone. If only you could move the River Niger,

It does not matter, either in the south south or south east, Anioma state for the Igbo in Delta is all we are saying.

Ikengawo:
on par? what par? lol
when did the race to have more states start and how has having more states benefited anyone?


do you people really believe this stuff?

is the southeast with less states that the northwest still not twice as rich and developed as the northwest?

are you people really this confused?

C'mon quit chatting crap. Since when has the northwest become twice as rich and developed than the south east.

alj harem:
Andre why should they be at per,.,. do you not think it is too small of a state

secondly brother, why can't we co-exist with other groups in delta and leave it as it is now

Can you give me 15 reasons why the north west should have seven states and the south east with mere 5?.

The creation of Anioma state will be a welcomed development. Nothwithstandingly, Ndigbo deserves seven states to be at par with the north west geo-political zone.
Hence, Anioma and Njaba states should be created without delay.

ifyalways:
Ochi eze.

It's true.
Ganja, weed, Marijuana etc habu isi mgbaka. isi mmebi.

Ganja na agba kwa madu ara.

Sorry for my earlier outburst, you are a Rivers Igbo true and true. Keep the flag flying high.

Please, let's not say yes to evil.

gogo13233:
chai these ibos will do anything for money including killing their mums for 200 dollars na wa, unlike the ngbatis, this is worse than climbing a minaret to save a mad woman

This thread has nothing to do with Ndigbo. Are you an Ogoni claiming to be Rivers Igbo?.

I go for this:
Cech.
Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole.
Essien, Lampard.
Anelka, Drogba, Malouda.
Torres.

Abagworo:
Remember I am also Igbo and I accept Ibo.It is therefore not universal that all Igbos reject IBO.

Please let's not go there. We have always been Igbo, and Igbo it shall remain. The colonialist have left long ago and our destiny is in our hands. The society for promotion of Igbo Lsanguage and culture (SPILAC) has made it known to the entire world that it is Igbo.
Also Igbos is wrong, but Ndiigbo, the Igbo, or the Igbo people is correct.

agbotaen:
IKA HAVE BOTH IGBO AND BINI NAMES ,SO GET IT, EXAMPLES ARE NDUKA IRABOR ,AND NDUKA OBAIGBENA ,THIS ARE BOTH FAMOUS IKA MEN FROM OWA KINGDOM AND THEY HAVE BOTH IGBO AND BINI NAMES,BUT THE BINI NAME IS THEIR FAMILY NAME .
MGBEJUME -MEANS ONE TREE CANNOT FORM A FOREST OR ONE MAN CANNOT FORM A QUORUM, IT IS AN IKA IDIOMATIC EXPRESSION .MY FAMILY NAME IS OMIGIE,MY GRAND FATHER IS MGBEJUME-OMIGIE, HIS OWN FATHER WAS IGBUDU,-OMIGIE, HIS FATHER WAS OVWIAGBON-OMIGIE,WHOSE FATHER WAS OSAHON ,WHOSE FATHER WAS IMADE ,WE CAN GO ON AND ON ,WE TRACE OUR FAMILY HISTORY TO THE EARLY THIRTTENTH CENTURY ,AS DESCENDANTS OF OBI IGBEGIDI NO GIDIGAN -THE SECOND KING OF OWA KINGDOM,WHO FOUNDED IDUMU-EZOMOR VILLAGE.

Mr man stop chatting in capital letters, it is against forum rules.
I do not doubt your ancestry, my message is that you should remain whatever thing you wish to be, but leave Ika Igbo people alone. They are happy to be Igbo.

@OP:


It is Eebo or Ibo, but sometimes, especially at night, you can also call it Ebola

The Eebos on this forum are all clueless, so pay them no mind.

Most of them have no idea where ALaigbo is if you were to show them the map of Nigeria. Always pulling stuff from their stinking arse. Hihgly illiterate bunch.

Like i said, it is either Eebo or Ibo or Ebola!

Totally irrelevant.
RESPECT PLEASE.

F.Torres being intervied by Chelsea T.V now. It is on sky 421.

Go siddon jor, Just cos your wretched broke backside club use style reach final for choco milo cup u dey get mouth talk. . .

Spot on.

Drogba, Anelka, Malouda will retain usual positions.
Essien and Lampard are our best midfielders.
Torres plays only a little bit upfront ahead of the attacking trio.

[quote author=bk.babe97y link=topic=595370.msg7641450#msg7641450 date=1296498907]OBJ is the reason for:

4. Eastern Nigerian Governmental Corruption

5. No Presidential Aspirant choosing a Ibo V.P

7. Ibos being cannibals

9. Ibos being Ibos. . . . !!!![/quote]IRRELEVANT.

The wish of the people is the wish of God. The wish of the people in Egypt at the moment is: Change, chang and Change.
Mubarak's days are numbered.

Am watching Chelsea T.V now on Sky 421. The commentators have confirmed that Torres is at the Bridge as am posting now

BEAF and ABAGWORO
Please ceasefire, you both belong to nairaland's finest. I hold both of you in high esteem.
Godbless.

Why do we have names such as:
Oluigbo.
Igboanugo.
Igbonekwu.
Igboamaka.
Igbokwe.
Please stop insulting Igbo people.
Even here in nairaland, most people who spell ibo instead of Igbo are secondary school drop-outs.

beneli:
This is an interesting question that you ask!

While Abagworo has posted information that can be debated, I honestly think that the majority of informed Igbo people would be most inclined towards using ‘Igbo’ to describe the name of the people, the language spoken and the land inhabited . . . irrespective of what some of the 'erroneous' information out there say!

So in answer to your question the politically correct terms would be:
Igbo person
Igbo language
Igbo land

'This statue is not of Yoruba origin, it is of 'Igbo' origin’ . . .

The use of ‘Ibo’ to describe ‘Igbo’ people or language is increasingly considered irreverent. Some educated Nigerians . . . Igbo speaking or not . . . even find the term very insulting since they are aware that its one of those patronising relics, spilling over from the centuries when the colonialists had gone about telling their subjects how they should call themselves!

But as we gradually shed ourselves of the 'odious' mentality of those years, most of us have come to agree that we are Igbo are not 'Ibo' -it doesn’t matter whether the Igbo person is from the Igbo-speaking areas of Rivers or Delta states, or the Igbo speaking states of Abia, Anambara, Ebonyi, Enugu or Imo . . . it is still Igbo! And that is how we wish to be called . . .

The few people that persist in using 'Ibo' are either being deliberately mischievous – as you may have observed, perusing the politics section of NL - or are just innocently, or in a few cases. . . i dare say, even. . . irredeemably, ignorant!

May the peace of our Lord be with you.

My players for the above formation are: Cech.
Bosingwa, Ashley, Terry/Luiz, Ivanovic.
Essien, Lampard.
Anelka, Drogba, Malouda.
Torres.

With the imminent arrival of Torres and Luiz, my Chelsea formation is: 4:2:3:1.

@the topic, The assassination of Ironsi was an accident bound to happen because of what the North felt that Ironsi/Ifeajuna coup was an Igbo coup. Unification act by Ironsi was not the ulterior motive of the northerners in eliminating Ironsi.
@The obstructionist BK.B, I have always supported G.Ebere.J and as a result have had numerous enemies in this politics section. I have never argued or debated on topics about Igbo V.P slot.

babyosisi.

Let the defenceless defend themselves.
This is a no time for cowardice.
It's a pity no word from Borno yet of any defensive formations. WHY?.
