Nwoke m',ijili. Adaobi gwusa m' egwu emee m' gi many things.

Tochex101: Beautiful thread........can anyone tell me the meaning of these names......(Ulagwu and unachukwu)

I can only try with "Unachukwu",which is common is Anambra. Ok,"una" can mean to "call someone out" or to "scream out at someone",especially,when they have done some wrong. "Una" could also mean something of which I might be unaware of. So,the best possible way I can translate it is "the screams of God". Someone with a better knowledge can help. As for "ulagwu",I will go with "the departure of the oracular spirits". Deme!

CAMEROONPRIDE: Igbo kwenu, kwezenu.

I have some questions about the name Amugu? Is it an Igbo's name? Which part of Igboland? Do many people bear it? And what is the meaning.

Daluu

Maybe it will be easier if you provide the meaning.

adaobi123: Anambra state
I can't write Igbo fluently

I learnt you are from Anambra from the way you write but I wanna know which town in Anambra you hail from. I'm asking because I wanna know how your people speak,how to write you and the best way for you to write to make it easier for you.
Whichever way,I will advice you to write your Igbo just the way it sounds to your ear and we can work from there. I wasn't raised in Igbo land,never took Igbo classes but I can write very well in my Idenmili-Igbo and most people here would understand me. Write it the way your parents speak it.

otele: Haa! Adabekee ewepula foto nke ahu m like ofuma.

Okwa unu emeela adabekee ewepu foto ahu gosiri m ara ya abuo in full live size

Unu Mara nga unu ha, gakwaa nu mee ka Ada return the initial foto with live ara nke di n'obi. Foto Umu boys ji amu-Anya na abali. Meenu osiso o

Adabekee, Biko put back the other foto

I hear you can establish it to your enemies( real and imagined) with your unique nkwa. True?

Negodi guy man....chelugodi ka mu na Adaobi kwisia before m tupulu gi onu.

adaobi123: Daalu nwannem

These are very old pictures of Aba and Onicha....smh. I am out.

adaobi123:

Adaobi,idiro bad,either.

Most people here don't seem to know that this is a catholic ritual that is being performed every GOOD FRIDAY. If you attend mass on GOOD FRIDAY you will notice that. There are usually a selected individuals that get their feet washed but I guess the Pope decided to wash the feet of sinners/commoners. May the almighty bless his Papacy.

Adabekee bia kam gwa gi somtins,biko. Obala m na ele ajo oku.

Nnaa meeeen! Ifukwaa pishure Adabekee? Ewu ataa m igu na isi....Nezia ka umu ikolo si adagbu onwe fa....Nkea bu ife m na eli

Salam,from that article you posted I was made to understand that it was Oraeri that probably owned the metal works that were unearthed at Igbo-ukwu. You see Onwuejeogwu wrote extensively on the connection and of the excavation site and Nri and most of "ndi osu imi" that are attacking me here know the truth. Abagworo has always quoted Onwuejeogwu but today he is posting contradictory articles. Jealousy is a disease!

salam001: The many lies of the Igboukwu people,Nri was never Igala,what an intresting rebuttal http://www.igbofocus.com/html/nri_is_the_focus_in_igbo_.html

Kaaaaabooooom! Laugh wan tear my belle! Nwanne,na eziokwu,nwata adi ebu nnia uzo amuta diokpa! Onye obuna sili na Ana Nri adiria mma nya gupu onwie na Igbo....Umu Nri di uso! Deme nu!

Agbotaen,you are cursed to lie...the benin name for prince is Okhoro but you said its ovbi. Wtf ?

And the concept of "chukwu" came to us through the missionaries and I can tell you that it wasn't because there is some Oracle in Arochukwu called Ubinu ukpabi. We northern Igbo used "Chi" prior to the coming of the missionaries. And when the missionaries brought christianity we refered to almighty God as "Olisebuluwa",Chukwu,Chineke and so on.

odumchi: You're right. The Delphic "Chukwu Abiama" is intrinsically related to Aro, so therefore "Chukwu" came to be associated with Aro through Aro dealings and Ibini Ukpabi. When we Aro desire to refer to God as an all-knowing prophetic being who, as chief arbitrator of all conflicts, holds all the knowledge in the universe, we call Him "Chukwu". When we choose to describe his more remote and estranged characteristics, we refer to him as "Obasi". What I've realized is that although Chi Ukwu is not exactly an Aro brainchild, in the centuries prior to the missionaries, it was used to refer to the case-settling deity that was believed to reside at Arochukwu.

Let's imagine a scenario. Let's say you and I were farmers who lived in the Ngwa zone sometime in the mid 19th century, and for several years, we have been disputing a particular stretch of land. Now, I then threaten to take our case to "Chukwu" in Arochukwu. Once I mention "Chukwu", you understand that I am making reference to the Aro deity in particular even though our own people's supreme god, Chiokike/Chileke, is also recognized chi ukwu. In other words, in the various culture zones, there are various chi ukwu, but in Aro there is only one Chukwu. I hope you get what I'm trying to say.

And thanks for the clearup on Amadioha. What I'd like to know now are the exact means through which Amadioha and the whole concept of amadi and ohu/oru reached areas of the north that are supposedly under Nri cultural influence.

Point of correction,mister, we don't know what is Amadioha until recently,post colonial to be exact. Most northern Igbo town worshipped the "ogwugwu" deity. Example "ogwugwu" Omenani of Onicha,"ogwugwu" akpu of Okija. Yes,that famous and powerful shrine in Okija is an "Nri" deity.I can tell you that the whole Northern Igbo(Anambra,Enugu,Anioma parts of Imo and Ebonyi) never worshipped Amadioha nor Ubinu ukpabi. Case closed.

In another vein,"Amadi" is also an Nze na Ozo name and we greet one of my uncle by that name. We say "Amadi ndi ichie" because he is an "Ichie". Its probably where the honor that is alluded to the name originated from. I see Nri influence actually went all the way to the coastal line. Keep lieing to yourself..Onye bu onye uzo wee sibe ite na akia enwe ngwo-ngwo agha...Ani Nri di uso.

According to you "Okhe amadi" is used to describe a well respectable aged man in Ngwa/Etche axis and you likened it to "Ichie",which is misleading." Ichie" in Nri tradition is someone who has not only taken the Ozo title but has also taken the eminence status of the institution. When one reaches this level their red hat is decorated with multiple feathers and they must have the "Okike"(elephant tusk),they must have a scarification on their arms nor leg and a thread around their ankle. This is when one becomes an "Ndichie". Its way different from being an aged and respectable man.
Nwa Ngwa take note.

Odumchi,onye ka I na akpo "senseless" ? Nwokem,dokwaa onwe gi ka ogwu!
