timbros: Could this be Torres season? With Hazard, Mata and Marin/Moses roaming behind him in this our new 4-2-3-1 formation, i see Torres clinching Highest Goal Scorer award this season.

KTBFFH!

For the fact that he does not take penalties and free kicks, it is not possible that Torres will emerge as the highest goalscorer at the end of the season.

It is the Emenalo factor. His idea to bring young Nigerians to Chelsea. At first, Kenneth Omeruo and now V.Moses.

PAGAN 9JA:
Before the 19th Century, Yoruba were caled Offemmanu.

You are wrong. Yoruba is a recent coinage. Though originated from the east but used by Nigerians to mock the large usage of oil their soup. But the Yorubas take it as an insult just like Hausas take Aboki for an insult.
Back to the topic, Bello used the word Yaraba to describe people south of the caliphate who are not muslims.

The Igbo society has changed a lot from the way it is viewed in the past. Nothing stops one from being an Igbo if he identifies himself as Igbo and practices Igbo culture e.g speaks the language, joins Igbo affiliations, eats Igbo dishes etc.
For example, this photograph is a man who speaks Igbo language fluently, eats Igbo dishes, wears Igbo traditional attires, is a member of his local chapter of Ohanaeze and proudly identifies himself as Igbo. It will be an insult to take the Igbo out of him.

Nigerians now practice cremation. When Justin Fashanu died, he was creamated. Other countries now follow this Indian pattern.

Only in 2 geo-political zones that Mohammedans out number christians (North west and north east).

Omugwo is an Igbo aspect of culture. Neighbours of Ndigbo have borrowed this culture just as Ndigbo have borrowed from their neighbours as well.
@ the OP. You may provide her with George or Hollandis wrappers, new shoes and sandals, new bra and panties, hand bag, necklace, handkerchiefs, towels, headscarf to match with the wrappers, cardigan, pyjamas for ladies or night gowns, body creams and soap, deodorants, powders, cash etc.

to the crime section please.

Ndi oma noo ebea, kedu udi otu nzuzo unu mara? Deputa ma kowaa.

odumchi: Igbo, m choro iju inyi ajuju. Ngen ka inyi na eku 'anyim' (river) na olu inyi?

Oshimiri.

One_Naira: probably wasn't. The Igbos were called and spelled Heebo, Ebo, Eboe, Eboans, Ibo and Iboe by many European historians. The Ibo and Ebo was the most popular ones. The person might have learned about Igbo on History sites and books thus, wasn't aware the actual real spellings. I've met people like that but all are online.

@ OP

It is Igbo. The language, culture, everything is Igbo. Ibo is just an incorrect spelling of the word which majority Igbos find insulting.

May your Days be long.

To start with, Patience did not at any time say something like that. Enemies are at work here.

ifyalways: There's always something fascinating about women warriors especially of old. How did their husbands react, relate with and treat them?or they were young unmarried maidens?

Nice one.
The women warriors of old for example, the women from Umuahia and Aba regions that carried out Aba Womens revolution of 1928-29, were mostly married women. The husbands of this women who caused the Aba revolution had a second thought about them. Belief, respect, trust and dignity set in from the men's angle. It wasn't long after that that the likes of Margaret Ekpo emerged in the east. It wasn't a surprise that during the Biafran war, some of this women could go to the war front to play different roles.

Couldn't have this great women be called something different from the Amazons?. The amazon is not usually associated with West Africa, I think in Brazil.

Obiagu1: Aga m echiya (anayachị) azụ maka mmili na-ezo (Not much difference)
Aga m echiya (anayachi) ọsịsọ. (Good guess )

Obiagu, you are too much. O wu ghi nwe aka.
In Isinweke, we use eze-eze instead of ngwa-ngwa or osiso.
We also use mmiri na ejo instead of mmiri na ezo.

Obiagu1: Umm, anyị na-ekwu "mbara" ma ọbụ "ezi".

Igbo dum na akpo ezi (compound).
Aga m ayoghashi azu maka mmiri na ejo.
Aga m ayoghashi eze-eze.
Can you translate it?.

debosky: Sturridge sends team GB out!

A. Ramsey is worse. If he had scored that penalty kick with regulastion, the match would not have gone into extra time. Poor Ramsey.

This thread belongs to the travel section.

wesley80: ^ Nchoni iza ajuju e juni bu ife edeni adine kwem na ghorsa. Kene bu "mbarezi"? Ni onu Aboh, kenu bu ele anyi nakpo ife umu ndiom ji ne gide ala weh!

Mbarezi or Eberezi means compound. It is widely used in Isinweke and Umuahia areas that share border with Isinweke. The question was if anyone in your compound is taking part in the olympic games 2012, in London.

We have lost to a Championshp side that finished 11th last term.
WE ARE TOO POOR TO GO INTO THE SEASON.

Mikel has coming, may be he can shield the back 4.

Brighton 2:1 Chelsea.

Brighton 1:1 chelsea.

Igbo wu Igbo na asu na olu na olu, si unu anwunoo.
Ka biko, onwere onye shi na mbarezi unu so na emume Olimpik afo 2012, emeghaya na mba London?.

@Wesley, thanks for joining this thread. Am interested in your dialect as my uncle's wife is from there.
In Isinweke: Wesley, Imeela otu ishi bata na tredia. Uchem no na asusu ghi a. Nwunye wunnem woko shi Aboh.
