Lol.
No.
Ebonyi man

Cool, an Aguata/Orumba person would’ve said that exactly the way you said it..

Nkuta taa gu.
Lots of people would’ve said ‘Nkita taa gi’

Gaddafih001:
Wawa is another word for NO in Igboland.
The statement was made popular byGovernor Onoh of Anambra state.
Wa= no
Wa wa=No no...
So it is Wa.,Mbanu,mba...
They all means no..
Igbo n’asu n’onu n’onu..

You are correct. Onoh nwa Ngwo (Bianca Onoh’s dad used wa very often, he was proud of their dialect. Bless his soul.

Infact people from Nkanu/Agbani in Enugu referred to Ngwo people as Wawa people probably because of CC Onoh.

Ofodirinwa:
They are traditionally smiths and carvers (wa = to cut). So some of the groups in Enugu and Ebonyi are called that even if they're not themselves because that's where smithing came from (check Lejja, and Opi Iron sites from the time of the Egyptians).


Awka people are also wawa, but there are many Awka people on this website calling ppl wawa as an insult because they're not raised at home and are effectively not even Igbo people anymore.

Wawa terminology has no link with blacksmithing or ‘wa’ (to cut).
Enugu ngwo, Eke, Oye all use the word...wa..it means no or Wawa as an emphasis.

Wawa wasn’t derogatory as far as I can remember. As a child growing up in Enugu, we used it as banter but it ends there just as Anglicans (CMS or ndi seleme) will banter Catholics (ndi fada).

We used to sing “Wawa, oji okpa añu tea” but it ends there. Nothing serious.

Enugu and Ebonyi people call us Anambra people ‘Ndi ijekebee or Ndi agbaenu’.

Nkuta taa ghu

You are from Aguata/Orumba, Anambra state....from your dialect.

Northern Nigeria Muslims are living in the 12th century.
These people need to separate from the rest of country so they can practice their religion they way they like.

The so called debate sounds like the Inquisition.

Juliusmalema:
Akiko, carry your poverty investigation and go to sleep.
Poor men always have negative input to everything... Otondo.

Enyi, you are a nuisance. Go and find Nnamdi Kanu thread and attack him. I don’t have your time.

Lest I forget, Abba Kyari wasnt there to mourn with Obi and stop mentioning me before m masaa gi agba.

Juliusmalema:
Mpama carry your poverty investigation and go to sleep.
Poor men always have negative input to everything... Otondo.

If you have a date with poverty, I wish you a happy one...enjoy it. You seem to be focused on it.
Poverty is millions of miles away from me.

There’s one name I’ve been trying to see but seems he didn’t attend the burial.

Pretty Mike. There’s this dude that attends events with pregnant ladies.

Anyone seen Pretty Mike at Oba?

PIMPAR:
Shame una no get . Always finding someone somewhere to blame for your failure. Na waaaaoooo for una

You are suffering complexes which bother on ignorance, bad education, mental imbalance and poor or no personal development.

Stop saying ‘una’...I made the statement not ‘una’.

Igbos will continue to forge ahead. You, your ancestors and those ahead of you can not stop the moving train, you can’t derail us.
We move, step on the track and get crushed.

PIMPAR:
Why do you people don't take responsibility for once? You will always find someone somewhere to blame for your inefficiency. Be responsible for once.

You people?? I made the comment. You should be addressing me not you people!

Are you mentally ok?

I stand by my comment. Purge ndi ugwu from the New Artisan market and see the place breath a new life.
They are choking the place with filth...no one is supposed to live and sleep there and any attempt to remove them from there will have isi coconut like you accusing Igbos of being anti Hausa/Fulani.
Those people are social misfits and eco-unfriendly.

Ugwuanyi is just being nice and soft so as be labelled a tribalist. Chimaroke would’ve removed them from there. How can people live and contaminate everything they touch?..No regard to local rules and norms.

RichDad1:
I’m sure if this happens in the North, some self acclaimed Jew would have been running their mouth here.
Dirty people.

Thousands of Hausa/Fulani people with their relatives from Niger live in the New Artisan market. It’s the last bus stop of northerners in Enugu.

Purge them from there and see that environment breath a new life.

Juliusmalema:
Mpama carry your poverty investigation and go to sleep.

Poor men always have negative input to everything... Otondo.

You are full shlt mister and you need to outgrow this stupidity, you are becoming very boring.

Juliusmalema:
Carry your mentality and go to sleep.

Poverty is a deadly disease.

Nwokem Jee zuo ike. Mkpi.

National leader of BNL Princewil CHIMPANZEE iPOB HOODLUMS sha.May lightening strike all of Una threatening Pa Joe IGBOKWE

Thunder, lightening and molten lava will
scatter you and Joe Igbokwe first.

To hell with Joe Igbokwe. The man is worse than a modern time Stephen Warren. Phuck him. People like that should be drawn and quartered.

Arrewa, is this true?

[quote author= post=103784214]Only if you understand Anambra men, even during Abacha, we are jolly good fellow[/quote]Abba Kyari can’t be trusted sir. He doesn’t care about anyone in that gathering and he wasn’t there to mourn with the Obi Cubana

ThEGodFaThEr103:
Abba Kyari, please take it easy when drinking those expensive wines so you don't get drunk like your fellow police officers.

I doubt he drinks. Even if he does, he wouldn’t drink there.

Abba Kyari is a snake. He mingled and collects intel. He knows that’s a gathering of the good and bad.

He spies on them.

Headworld4real:
That is what am planning to do, Thanks alot.

Your boss at work is a big idiot. What has the domestic issue at your residence got to do with your employment?

The fool should’ve advised the woman to sort that out with your landlord.

Get your landlord, your neighbours and the woman’s husband together and discuss this with them.
I’m not sure you’ll get any help from the police if you went to the station. I don’t trust Nigerian police. It might complicate issues for you as the woman can ‘mobilise’ her colleagues against you...I might be wrong.

Nigeria is a mess. If you have a means to escape that hole, do it ASAP.

You also deserve a slap for answering yes to the question your boss asked you. Are you a slave and a doughnut?

This show off is one part of our Anambra culture that I’m not so proud of. What’s with the out riders and all those silly stunts?, 400 cows, a thousand goats, a pendant that’s worth millions!...then a convergence of people with bombastic and shallow titles. What’s the meaning of all these??

A very rich Hausa man dies, you wouldn’t see all these stunts and exhibitions.

Our views may differ but I’m sure there are lots of ndi Anambra be anyi that will find these vainglorious display rude and offensive.

This is not who we are.

Arrewa:
Una never see anything!!

Why are the moderators not moving ipob atrocities to the front page??

Two people were tagged saboteur by the ipob taken to the bush to be killed...

A police man and a civilian...

Why is nairaland pro Ipob/ESN

ESN are now gradually turning against their own people killing and tagging them saboteurs

They even refused to move this thread to the front page
https://www.nairaland.com/6653121/these-two-men-killed-tomorrow#103752062

Arewa, focus on your dubious tree planting and leave IPOB out of this. The abduction or kidnapping was done by your brothers to tarnish the image of IPOB.

I’m sure you know the identities of the people involved in this story but your bias and tribalism won’t let you voice it out.

malcom1X:
Why are some people not talking about the numbers of cows in cubanas house.

I live there, and I have been suffering from the smell all over the place, the treaded on my small farm.

The north should be proud of their new boy in town.

The south east are pretending that this Neve happened.

I've checked those cows,they are not the original Igbo cows, these are northern cows from the north.

Next time we want to talk about the killings of Fulani herdsmen, let's not forget about the man in our backyard.

Who celebrated death with cows. Just the same way herdsmen justify the death of Nigerians with cows.

I'm out....

This

Post his address, let’s send ESN after him and his band of marauding herdsmen. Let’s send them back from whence they came from.

Ignorance at its peak



Chinenye "Chiney" Ogwumike is a Nigerian-American professional women's basketball player for the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women's National Basketball Association. As of 2020, she became the first Black woman to host a national radio show for ESPN, also being the first WNBA player to do so. Wikipedia

Blame it on your typo mister. The typed was Chineye...there’s no Igbo name like that. The name is Chinenye.

naptu2:


Football fans are having a difficult time understanding that, in terms of representation, the Nigerian National basketball team is just like the football team.

In D'Tigress we have players that were born in Nigeria and grew up in Nigeria before going abroad to play professionally, that is, people like the former captain, Aisha Balarabe (nee Mohammed), the star Evelyn Akhator, Elo Edeferioka, etc. We also have players that were born abroad to Nigerian parents. These players have visited Nigeria many times and they are in touch with Nigerian culture. I'm referring to people like Sarah Ogoke, Ezinne Kalu and Atonye Nyingifa.

Like I said, it's just like the football teams. You would not say that Alex Iwobi and Victor Moses, who were born in Nigeria but moved abroad when they were little, are not Nigerians or don't know anything about Nigeria. You would not say that Osaze Odemwingie, who was born in Uzbekistan, is not Nigerian. You won't say that Bright Dike, who was born in the US, is not Nigerian. So what's the big deal about the Nigerian basketball players that's making so many people make ill-informed assumptions?

There have been many Nigerian born basketballers who have played for other countries (e.g. Akeem Olajuwon), just as there have been many Nigerian born footballers who have played for other countries (e.g. Emmanuel Olisadebe), so what's the big deal?

That reminds me...Darly Dike scored a brace for the US soccer team early this morning. Daryl is Courtney Dike’s brother. Their elder brother Bright Dike also played for Nigeria.

phemmyfour:
She's not even proud of her name yet she wants to represent the Country. What the hell is Chiney.....Your name is CHINEYE young woman. The other day, the ESPN presenter called herself Chinny.. rubbish

Her name is not CHINEYE.

Rossinkipp:
What do you mean ''the north have sea of lands''?

If so, why are the herdsmen migrating southwards in search of grazing land?

Oga Rossiki...you are very educated individual but your input here is a bit suspicious. Except you are trolling, I don’t believe that you share the views or the ‘reports’ of the ‘expert’.

What fraction of the land space have been taken by the southerners.

centoke30:
Upon say markets and industries full Abia, I no see am for this list.. Chai, see what bad governance had done to us

Enugu and Anambra states without natural resources are in the top 10...

Imagine when the resources in Ebonyi, Imo and Abia states are tapped and utilised.

We shall get there.

OyigboUpdate:
Thank God u used might

No bias here sir. I don’t think this is the handiwork of IPOB.

OyigboUpdate:
The victims has not been killed yet. The people commenting are pleading with IPOB to spare their lives. Especially the police man.

These men might not be held by IPOB or ESN.
Whoever is responsible for their abduction is trying hard to throw a spanner in the works of the separatist’s goal.

IPOB gains nothing from their execution and the separatist group I believe is aware of the risks involved holding onto these men and recording it.
Think about it...These men would’ve been killed when they were caught. Why the video? What’s to gain from displaying them like this? They are asking for ransom and the real criminals behind this knew IPOB isn’t into kidnapping for ransom.

The aim to garner public sentiment against IPOB.
It has the signature of the bank robbery in Anambra.
This isn’t IPOB.

SLAP44:
And so what?

Don't we have a fake General without certificate masquerading as president?

Ebonyi State is tackling the menace of quack medical practitioners in the state and you had to post the above!!
Are you trying to justify the existence of these irresponsible group of individuals because ‘a man without certificate’ became the president.

Did you read where it said that this person has caused the death of at least one person?
I can see that over 115 persons ‘liked’ toir comment...

To you and all the people that clicked like...May your armpits and groin be infested with a billion fleas and may your arms and fingers be so short you can’t scratch out the miseries.

Oko kogbukwaa gi na ndi otu gi nwanne.

ChiefSosa:
Cannot happen in Nigeria; we have trust issues. Bandits, UGM and even airport staff may steal. People will rather sleep at the airport with their luggage, while resting their legs on it in case someone tries to take it. I'll rather drop an empty traveling bag there(to book space),then come later to drop my things when we're about traveling.

The bags must’ve been weighed and ready to be checked in the day after. How can you retrieve them when you should be boarding on your travel date?

Ain’t gonna work.
