Wait! I have a better one. . . like people in America who should know better asking Nigerians if they live on trees. . .

King Of The Hill definitely beats Simpsons

Simpsons stopped being funny in the late 90s. They need to take that show out of its misery.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

Whatever happened to Futurama? That show rocked. . . and it still rocks. A lot of people think it is little on the bizarre side.

@ Ow11, is Tare similar to Tari (meaning)? I was looking through the Ijo dictionary and found that Tari = love, couldn't find anything on Tare. The dictionary didn't specify the gender though so I assumed the name (Tari) is unisex.

I love the two shows but Family Guy does it for me. I think King of the Hill is  underrated. That show beats The  Simpsons and FG IMHO.

Wild Child - Enya

This is it - Staind

Hero - Nickelback

Serenity - Godsmack

6th Gear - Doug Bossi


Coco Jambo - Mr President

Osun Wetin? Abeg no state in Nigeria should be exempt from the deadly barrage of telephone curses. . .  except the states with 5 hr water supply/day and ''uninterrupted'' (7 hrs a day by Nigerian standards) electricity. . .which is NONE. Correct me if I am wrong.

We tried leaving everything to ''God'' including NEPA and Security, that didn't yield much result . . . let the curses pour down. . . shower them with unprintable %$#@! from dusk to dawn. . . From Sokoto to Imo, From Delta to Ogun

Hi All,



Thanks for asking.

Tell you the truth, I really can't be bothered.  Not much to contribute on this thread, in addition to the fact that it's too much aggro having to start correcting what others have mentioned as Ijaw names.



kiwi992.

Good, don't bother posting anymore replies. This is a feel good thread, we don't need any gra gra. . .


Thanks my people. Keep the names coming.

Outlawz, you need to stop spreading a false concept. Igbo is Igbo, the people and the language. There is no such thing as "Ibo". The British had a hard time with the "gb'' so they found a cheap way out by crossing out the "g". That is why we have ridiculous words like Ibo, ebo and Iboe. . .

Ambassador Nwandoleesha  Nwandoleena. . . you're a big super start o. . .  see how this thread turned to 'Osisi'  Thread. . .  

More conspiracy theories are coming to the surface. . .


Nigerians are now Mind readers. . .



LMAO!!!!!!!

Sorry kobo, I couldn't resist

[quote author=Aloy.Emeka link=topic=235082.msg3477620#msg3477620 date=1234867554]How is this useless question related to this section?. Some people here are just obsessed with igbos so much that they must discuss something about them everyday. Have you had the king of igbos before?. Igbos are known for their democratic system of govt even before the time of Abraham. The so called igwes in igboland still has limited powers conferred on him by the senate(Nzes) and the house(ichies). Autocracy has no place in igboland. [/quote]That's the bottom line.


I laugh at some trifling fools who wallow in the putrid pool conjured by the diseased imagination of their delirious minds. . . "King of the Igbos'' . . . who died and made Osama Bin Laden the Mayor of New York?

Finally. . .

Mark of Uru: Episode 4 (Screen Shots)

The guilty are afraid. . .

Nigeria@1 aka loolalike, If you want to move to Benin Republic, go ahead but do not log in here masquerading as an "Igbo man". It's repulsive, very cheap and tasteless prank and you need to stop it. Do you not see how transparent that prank of yours is? I believe you are an adult, so conduct yourself as one.

What about this one. . .

Tari (Love) - Is it female, male or unisex? I also stumbled across Tari-Ebi (Love is good). Is it male, female or unisex?

Thanks everyone for your contribution.

@ Kiwi, if you think people are making names up, why not give us the appropriate Ijo names and their meanings/ after all, that's what the thread is all about.

Sapphic:
Walahi if I did not know that Nigeria has so many diverse ethnic groups, I'd have said you people were beginning to form names o.

LOL. . . the names are actually from some of the well known ethnic groups like Efik,Ijo, Igbo, Urhobo,Yoruba etc. . . Most of them are very rare I must admit (Zikora, Mitaire, Zina. . .)

Zikora
Uyai
Idara
Ola (The Igbo and Yoruba version)
Zina
Chetanna
Ronke
Teri
Naborhi
Oladimeji (But I prefer Dimeji)
Etido
Ayoola
Esosa
Chizoba
Danagogo
Uchichi
Adisa
Chika
Mitaire ( prefer the abbreviation Mitai. . .seckzy!!!!)

Somebody tell that imbecilic Jihadist to take his ''African Unity'' and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. What a big joke. . . I am having a big laugh. . . really.

Kemji, there's no character animation there o. . . na only camera movement I see. . . 

I really think you're better off using a more dedicated animation program. Poser should be secondary IMHO, or it could be something you 'switch' to after you have mastered a conventional animation program (Terrence Walker for example). For instance, file exchange might be a problem considering  the people involved in this project will be using Max, maya, XSI etc. . .

I am not really a Poser guru(never been a big Poser fan) but from my little experience, it doesn't handle animation like the other conventional animation tools, but this won't be a problem to someone with a good experience in XSI, Lightwave, Max etc. . .

Just my $0.02.

Good job fellas, just take your time and do a good job. . . spread the good gospel of Animation. . .

If you don't know the present state of Botswana or haven't visited the country why opening you big gob asking which one be Botswana? Apart from South African, based on what I had seen first hand Botswana is now the most developed African nation and still doing well. Their democracy is as good as any in the world, their corruption index is as low as that of the the scandanavian nations. Botswana discovered Diamond in the late 80s and judiciously make good use of the income from it.
As we speak, Botswana makes over 20 billion dollars in tourism alone annually, they have free medical care, free education at all level, uninterupted electric supply, their national railway is 21st century equiped and a metro service is near completion for Gabarone city (their capital), borehole is a foreign word to them and all these despite the fact that they are a landlocked nation with no access to the coast.

They have completely tranformed their country within a space of ten years without telling themselves that Rome wasn't build in a day, a usual Nigerian phrase used in excusing their incompetence and lack of vision. Being patriotic doesn't mean being stupid and blind. Nigerians often hype themselves, calling themselve the big brother no African nation give a monkey about. Despite billion from oil. No single thing will anyone point out to be working in Nigeria when Nigeria are fighting with the like of Chad in term of poverty and infrastrutures.

Many Nigerians even the educated still thinks that an ambulance is for carrying dead corpes from the mortuary to the home town on hot friday afternoon, because in 2009, their are still no emergency services in Nigeria in the whole the 36 states and Abuja.
No Nigerian airport as we speak has a modern scanning system and still uses bare hand to search peoples luggages and often dispalying personal items to the view of the world in the process which can be totally embarrassing.
At Enugu airport in 2009, the flight schedules are written with white chalk on a blackboard.

I was in Tunisia in 1994 during the African cup of nations and was amazed to see that the streets of Tunis are not only sweeped but are washed every  night as I looked out from my hotel everynight for that two week duration, while even in Abuja, Nigeria is swimming in refuse dumps and leprosy infected beggars.
Wake up people, wake up!!!!!!!!

This is so true it hurts. . .

earTHMama:
1. Nigeria

2. Chad

3. Niger Republic

4. Libya

5. Sao Tome

Are you listing Africa's ''crapiest'' nations (In terms of development)? . . . Nigeria riddled with brainless murderers/criminals masquerading as "leaders'' and without electricity is No 1. . . Redhotchick, you have a bizarre sense of humour. . .

South Africa
Ghana
Botswana
Ivory Coast
Egypt

The BEST way to teach a new comer is through the usage of "Igbo Izugbe" (Central Igbo). Teaching a new comer any of the numerous dialects is counter productive.

Take Anambra State for instance, where nearly every town and city has a peculiar dialect. Take a look at the table below for a more detailed illustration.


Words: Central Igbo: Ekwulobia Dialect: Awka Dialect: Uga Dialect:

Here Ebe a Kana/Kanwa Ika/Nka Nga/Ngana

There Ebe ahu Ibehu/Ibenihi/Kanihi Nonyi/Newvu Ngahu

Now Ugbua Wha/Wehu/Wehune Wva Wehina(sounds like Nwehina) sometines Ugbua

Crab Nsiko Nsiko Nshiko Nsiko (Sounds like Nshhikhor)

Vulture Udele Udene Udene Udele

Buttocks Ike Etu/Ohu/Utu Ohu Ike Uturu Ohu/Utu Ohu (All the 'O' and 'U' have dots at the bottom)

Me Mu Mu/Munwa Mu/Munwa Mi/Mminwa


With all the variations, someone unfamiliar with the Igbo Language can easily conclude most of words above are derived from different languages. most people who grew up speaking Igbo are not bothered by these ''gazzillion'' and often incoherent dialects since they can easily ''switch'' to "Igbo Izugbe" when necessary. However, it's nearly impossible (I think it is totally impossible) for someone to switch from Central Igbo to another dialect he is not familiar with (impossible is the word).

BOTTOM LINE: If you want to teach Igbo to a new come[/b]r, [b]"Igbo Izugbe" is your best bet. It makes things a lot less complication.
