Could "Okala" be the contracted form of a longer word in Onicha Igbo? As in someone's surname: Emeka Okala. Someone is asking me.

Ifeoma, what does "Okala" mean in Onicha Igbo?

Ana agwo ibi, o na-eto afo
As scrotal inflammation is being treated, gastritis sets in 

Someone just told me that

Ataaa piam, obi a gbaa na nshiko
When "piam" sound is heard while chewing, the mind thinks of crabs

Who can tell the meaning of the last proverb?

So with that Iwe, I collected all the ammunition I could lay my hands on and moved to Ukwa near Ngwa.

Boy it was one man show, I was defending in all corners until the Biafran army joined me 2 weeks later.

Hmmm, ya mere na i so na David's Mighty Men? _claps You must've been a very brave soldier

Ikomi:
What u call ndi awusa is actually the Nigerian army. I was with the Nigerian army in Port Harcourt Garrisson. So mgbe ndi mba mmiri nasiri ndi Igbo there property na Rivers state, and the Hausas were fighting them from the North, Inshort my brother, Iwe abiam.

What I garnered here is that you know a bit of port harcourt and a little history of Rivers State.

Ikomi:

FMK, I've said b4 as I still say that you're on the wrong thread. This is no "missing persons" thread for crying out loud.

Start such thread if you truly want to find her.

Tufiakwa! Chineke ekwelaa.
O domain by domain ka na-aga 

this is serious  . Go find her where you lost her  . You are on the wrong thread

@GC

Yeah. The words are Igbo. Different dialects.

Find her? Where did you loose her

When I was a youth corper, I was once on a midnight call for 4 hrs (12.30 - 4.30am)  . Now that I'm working my ass off, I dread it, because of sure consequences the next day. Some fridays, I do it with family on conference call

Do I believe in re-incarnation?

As a christian, NO, I don't.

The traditional Igbo man believes in re-incarnation though.

9001 - Puku iteghete na otu

1982 - Otu puku, nari iteghete, iri asato na abuo

2008 - Puku abuo na asato

419 - Nari ano, iri na iteghete

That one is more of a proverb than tongue twister

ifyalways:
heheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i can't even wait to get married

Can this be construed as an invitation to tender? 

Why we get married

> To have a legitimate sex partner
> To raise kids
> To have a companion
> and so on

This is the first time I'm hearing that a bride is being asked to provide list of requirements for a tradi. Interesting.

Ask the man to buy 1 hummer jeep, 7 pieces of kolanuts,7 black cows, 1 white rooster, 7 yards of white cloth, 49 tubers of yam, 7 jars of raffia palm, and an echolac boxful of hollandis wrappers  _{just kidding}

Just use your common sense
