No Hausa speaker can say he speaks pure Hausa.

The Hausa language is heavily influenced with Arabic, and the average speaker code-switches between Hausa and Arabic, the same way the Igbos and Yorubas do with English.

The truth of the matter is that Hausa cannot be spoken without adding Arabic words/expressions to it.

Olukumi is a dead language. Have you asked yourself why there's a deliberate effort to revive it in Aniocha? Those people who once spoke the language have been absorbed.

Somalia with a lesser degree of killings.

Seun, Why is this thread allowed to run, while a similar one on Awo has long been locked?

Yoruba tribalism, I guess?

Is Ogbuefi an Ika man?

alj_harem:
what is wrong with this northern muslims at times

have we all not been living in peace way before southern nigeria joined

was kaduna not part of the 7 hausa kingdoms

edoyod talk to your people before i vex

Yes, but not a part of any boko haramic kingdoms.

If this story is for real, I commend the good people of southern Kaduna. They make me proud.

Brave folks.

Rochas is making Fashola(one of the frontline, hard-working governors) look like a dullard.

With the way he's going, I wonder what will happen if he has Lagos state's kind of funds?

5000 sacked council workers= 5000 new narcotics farmers.

It would be a suprise to me if youths in Ekiti start running naked on the streets after having too much 'igbo' to smoke in the next 3-4 months. Smh

I'll suggest you do an academic study of the language first(like get an Igbo-English dictionary, audio-visual renditions in Igbo, listen to many Igbo songs for right pronunciation, etc).

Thereafter, seize the opportunity of your visits to Nigeria to spend more time with Igbo-speaking friends and relatives. Let them know your desire to learn.

P.S

Igbo dialects can be very confusing for a new learner. If you can, stick to learning only one dialect for now, maybe your own dialect.

They are everywhere in the world because they are sociable people who love mingling with others.

Hope that helps?

Your post is the best so far

Willy, eyin ofenmanu gi kwanu?

Hope I'm getting my own kiss?

Have you reported to the police?

The fear of boko haram is the begining of wisdom. Nigeria is on the edge of total islamization.

I laugh in Ahmadinejad.

igbo boy:
Yea i think he grew up in Enugu, Just like flavour N'abania grew up in Enugu but is from Anambra.

Nna the Obodo song makeri sense eziokwu.

I just lof Enugu. Lots of great things coming out of there. I'll call it the centre of entertainment of the East.

alj_harem:
your nephews and nieces must be special breeds of igbos

all my live in anambra, rivers, and all other places, I have NEVER since anybody speak igbo without bits of english to it

that is a fact

so i think your nephew and nieces are likely from the core village or something

i suggest they become teachers or be placed in museum so as not to lose this people

Fake kanuri man. When I'm around them all the Igbo I've forgotten start coming back into my brain.

They speak more Igbo than English. End of.

Negro_Ntns:
Forget mainstream, this is the precursor to self rule and regional governance.

Yoruba is showing the way forward. Others need to learn from it.

You mean self-infliction?

ChinenyeN:
I dislike the Ikwere.

I'm tempted to feel so too sometimes. I just hate the arrogance exhibited in the defence of not being Igbo. But then I reasoned that I have not met many in real life, these fools that usually come online might be making things up or simply expressing their delusions.

I even have some of my nephews and nieces who cant speak English without adding Igbo to it(as in they express their thoughts more better in Igbo and use it to explain something they said in English), contrary to what one poster said here. above.

It's annoying how some ignorant posters come here to say things they have no idea of.

I wouldn't discourage a Yoruba from bringing curses upon himself.

Please my Yorubas let's continue using the word jor. No lele.

Let's not mind these omo Igbos, letting continue cursing the Yoruba race with Ode*****

Blowing up pipelines and oil installations wont affect Boko haram.

Makes no sense.

oludashmi:
Hausa is very easy to learn. . . igbo is difficult

In fact, learning Igbo will give you mouth cancer. Monkey.

afam4eva:
I have to agree with the poster who said that rarely will you hear an Igbo person speak Igbo without adding a word of english.

Not true. Seems you've never met a speaker with a good command of the language or a speaker bred in an Igbo-speaking community.

Obiagu1:
Nawa oo. See question and answer.

Question: Between Igbo and Hausa, which one is easier to learn?

Answer: Yoruba is easier to learn.


NL I hail thee oo!

NL is full of lunatics. Are you just knowing that.

igbo boy:
negro_ntns

Am not going to argue with you who is igbo and who is not, But i believe i am in a better position to speak on this matter than you, How can someone all the way from Ijebu come and tell and Oshimili man or and Ika Man or an Ndokwa man whether he is igbo or not?

Dont mind these silly Ijebu people coming to talk what they do not know about.

Igbo boy, thanks for that link on wizboyy. I use to think he was from Enugu. I dey the dude music die, especially the 'obodo' track with godwon.
