I was just googling to find out more Igbo folk tales books and I found this thread and wasn't surprised to find out that our awesome glam ma @ifyalways is also part of the people championing this cause of Igbo folk tales and culture. Well done ma

Bikonu, who can suggest books that has collection of Igbo folk tales? I want to go to the market to source for them. The only one I have is OMALINZE

There’s a book whose title is the subject of this thread.

Family / Re: Should I Stay With My Parents And Invest Or Should I Leave? Advice Needed by echelon(m): 10:02pm On Jul 11, 2019
My advice is to stay for now. If you're to leave let that be planned for (e.g. couple of years) and maybe at marriage.
You should rather invest the money in your self: study, trainings,etc, in order to acquire more skills, sharpen existing ones and possibly get a better job/ change career or learn a trade.

Best wishes.

NO is my answer to the question. It's better to terminate the marriage proposal than to spend a lifetime with a woman that is not trustworthy. It's good this happened BEFORE rather than AFTER the marriage.

Mr. , ,

I am looking for an Igbo/English speaker in the Chicago area to serve as an interpreter for an upcoming court case in Will County Court.  Do you know of anyone that may be qualified to interpret legal jargon and help to bridge cultural differences in both Ibo & English?  This is an offer for paid interpreting work on a freelance basis.  I very much appreciate your assistance.  Please feel free to pass on this email to interested parties.

Thank you,

Culture / Re: Is It Right For 2nd/3rd Daughter To Answer ADA by echelon(m): 4:12am On Oct 04, 2009
It's not bad the guy asked the question. "Ada" means daughter in Igbo. It's an alternative to "nwa nwanyi" which literally means "female child". Therefore, "Ada" can be used for any of a man's daughters. However, qualification of "Ada" with "- Obi" and "- Nna" gives respectively "Adaobi" and "Adanna" which are traditionally reserved for first daughters.

@Poster, it's possible the parents in question are oblivious of this tradition or do not wish to honour it.
