achi4u: ife ana eme adiro easy

achi4u: Nwanyioma kee ije?
Fine woman, how are you?

Ejim aka na inwero nsogbu?
I hope you are fine?

Abu m ezigbo mmadu.
I'm a good person.

SeunPlus: you said good morning is ndewo or ibolachi but someone on this thread, when I was going through it said 'ututuoma'. Does it mean that the person is wrong? Whereas I know that oma means good in Igbo language e.g Chioma (good God) and so on. And please if I'm not requesting too much, I'll like to get other translation.

SeunPlus: What is the meaning of:
* Ingemegiye
* Asampette
* Igerini
* Oyolima (frm Flavour)

I hope I got the spellings.

I'll also like to know Igbo greetings like Good morning, afternoon and evening. How are you. How do you do. Where are you going to. Where are you from. Will you follow me. Say something. Don't be stupid and so many more.

GAR3TH: Oil Producing states =/= Niger Delta states. There are only 3 states in the Niger delta, which is different from the 6 states that are in the south-south zone, which is different from Oil producing states. Niger delta only consist of Delta, Bayelsa & Rivers.

@OP As far as I know, the oil producing states that I think are making achievement are Cross-rivers, Edo & Akwa-Ibom. Rivers can be on the list but I'm still skeptical.

Afam4eva: Firrslt, there's no such thing as mainstream Anambra dialect. The dialects are different depending on the particular place. For instance, Onitsha would say "Ife" while Awka will say "Ive".

Ihedinobi: Nwani, anutumbo m nki ohu mbu. Ohamana m maaru gbasara nga ayi si futa bu la nna muru Uzuakoli, nwoke ayi la-akpo Akoli si Isuikwuato kporu ezi l'ulo ya fuo icho nga o ga ino l'udo.

Brother, I haven't heard that before. The extent of my knowledge concerning our origins is that a man called Akoli migrated from Isuikwuato with his household to find a place he could live in peace, this man was our sire.

NRI PRIEST: Flavour doesn't speak Enugu dialect but he mixes it with his Anambra Igbo. Anybody that is familiar with Stormrex music would know what core Enugu/\Nkanu sounds like. We also have to bear in mind that some Enugu dialects and Anambra are similar. Sometimes its hard to tell who is Anambra or Enugu because of some of the dialectical similarities. Take Mike Ejeagha for Instant,most people think he is from Anambra but he is from a town that borders Anambra,hence the similarities.

o'boy:
flavour speaks Onitsha dialect hence the ife instead of Ihe

StarFlux: Yeah, I've listened to it over 20 times today!

Just a Q. How does the standard Igbo used in books etc compare to Onitsha dialect? What dialect is it closest to?

pazienza: Yea,of a truth,no igbo tribe have any good thing to say of the aros,the aros were agents of death,everyone dreaded them,they and their abam partners were bad news to all igbo tribes, little wonder the british didn't have any problem,getting the neighbouring igbo tribes like the ngwas,to gang up against aros. But Odenigbo, your aggression towards our eze is misplaced,the discussion on this thread has to do with initial contact of the british with nigerians,it is only normal that aros represents the igbo,because of their role in slave trade.

NRI PRIEST: Nwokem,I'm old enough to give you a hard knock on the head. Secondly,why would I engage you in a topic I have already read over and exhausted. There isn't anything to discuss with you,mister. Aro brought shame and filth to Igbo land and by doing so they have brought curse to the entire Igbo nation. Things will never be the same with you(your Ezes and their chieves) lots until you pay visit to Agukwu-Nri so the EZE NRI himself can perform cleansing rituals for you and wipe your iniquities away in the alter of the most ancient shrine in our part of the continent,just like he has been doing for THOUSANDS OF BLACK AMERICANS,who travel all the way from the USA and the CARIBBEAN for the life changing exercise.
Thirdly,I will advice you to curb your tongue when you talk to me and keep those your lame proverbs to yourself,so I don't get upset.

Odenigbo Aroli: Am I missing something from this your epistle ?? You make it sound as if aro is the only igbo kingdom. You can't get aro higher that it already is! You ppl sold human for a living and there is no NOBILITY in that. Aros were savages and never contributed nothing to Igbo culture and history. You Odumchi must stop using aro as a tool for an Igbo representation,so the world doesn't think all Igbo sold human like your barbaric forefathers. Hell,you guys are hardly Igbo,to be very factual. Aro is not a model Igbo tribe. The only thing my father said about aro is that they were kidnappers and human sellers and we Nri look down on such people including Oyo and Benin kingdoms. Odumchi,you are a decendant of barbaric human sellers and as such will never represent the DIVINE,SACRED AND THE NOBLE PEOPLE of Eri and Ifikuanim! Keep deceiving yourself!

StarFlux: I know a lot of people are unable to write their languages using proper ortography, especially tones. Maybe there could be a sticky thread where you can learn the correct way to write your language. I would be able to aid some in Yoruba.

Hmm, think I might have dropped this in the wrong thread. Was reading both the suggestion thread and this one!

ROSSIKE: No they don't. History is History and Culture is culture!
