My own mother sef dey immitate accent.
she'll say to my child
get me some  worra (water)
do you wa'nna eat jellof

Baby Jinx:
I can't even speak with an American accent if I wanted to, I always sounds like an idiot. So for me, it sticking to my Naija accent was actually the best thing, I found people listened to me more than they did when I spoke mehn, you gots to be kidding me, warreva.

Funnily enough, I think it's the older generation who do the accent fronting. I say if I hear one North Side mother in her Bugle Boy Jeans say "[i]Jinia, gerof that kompura and go get me that borrule, nehun[/i]" I will commit. . . Honestly I will.  

ROFL.
Naijaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Our people are funny.
The best place to hear these accents are on people's voicemail messages
I dey laugh taya sometimes I'm still laughing while leaving a message.

I like NY/Boston accent

Gamine:

Gamine:

David it is still within the new ANAMBRA

One of the articles specifically said Ozubulu.

meant to say My back hurts

DavidDylan:
Its not rare especially in the villages. Once knew a woman who had to go through that after her husband died.

where biko?
tell me
I'm learning something here

PepERSprAY:
to be honest here, My inlaw who is igbo knows nothing about it but when he asked around, another igbo friend of his' told him that such a thing happened in one area long time ago and it's no more in existence because christianity wiped it out.

So my husband and I are not the only one that had never heard of such.
These things are so rarely done so it's possible to be born and bred in Igboland and know absolutely nothing about it.
Did you know it happens in Yorubaland if you didn't hear it on this thread?

This is why stereotypes are evil.

I am sure this tradition is now dead n buried. I refuse to believe Igbo women are tortured this way.
There was this movie where one widow had to shave her head because she lost her hubby. . . .Whatz all that about??

@ Stillwater,

Explain this "bath water" phenomenom. . . .[/b]I can tell u one or two things about Yoruba too. . .[/quote]I know you didn't ask me but let me expalin and put this thing to sleep.
[b]I read here on nairaland that widows in some parts of Igboland who are accused of killing their husbands are sometimes told to drink the bathwater from the corpse to prove her innocence.
I had never heard of it and neither had my husband.
There was also a nollywood movie made on that based on a real life issue according to Karmamod.

On further investigation, and supported by an article, it was found that the same practice  of drinking bathwater obtained in some parts of Yorubaland and Edoland and perhaps other places (who knows).


Obviously this must be a rare practice
It is nauseating.
Now I hope it's clear

Danke:
can smone please call me mr nwando to please come take his wife off this forum osisi enough of this bathwater

He's still out hussling

let me ask you folks.
When You say
I'm Egba
I'm Ijebu
I'm Ilesha

It is just the towns where you're from or are they subtribes within yorubaland?

KarmaMod:
Osisi where did you buy your Obama shirt?

From a patient.

[quote author=*Morenike link=topic=187145.msg2990733#msg2990733 date=1224892306]Well, I was a child.
I couldn't have packed and travel out [/quote]I was a child too but then I had relatives in those places.
Then I went to a federal school outside Igboland and that broadened my horizon the more

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=187145.msg2990729#msg2990729 date=1224892241]DeepZone is something else. . . . She started the grotesque n sordid bullshit.

[quote author=*Morenike link=topic=187145.msg2990661#msg2990661 date=1224891401]Not because I do not want to.
My mother is well accustomed to many tribes. But I am not.

Well, I might have had Igbos in my school when I was like 6-10 , but I can't rem. and they're not "women", we were still kids then.

My gosh, I just realized it. I do not even know any other tribe that well sad eh?[/quote]You're not alone.
Many Yorubas have actually confessed that the only time they ever left Yorubaland was for NYSC.
That is unlike many Igbos.
Many of us have relatives all over Nigeria and personally I have "holidayed" everywhere from PH to Kano.
I remember all those "ekene" rides for vacations to one auntie or another.

That highlighted part is scary.

KarmaMod:
I left work (45 mins commute), nearly hit a deer, bought gas, took a shower, watched Scrubs and you people are still here rambling.


who wants to drink my bathwater  

Tpia don't mind David. He's sucking up to get at Stillwater whom I've given to Hannibal.

I will!
That's the only way we can be friends again
Infact let's trade bathwaters
You drink my bathwater,I drink yours
By the way I like mine with a tinge of lemon

[quote author=*Morenike link=topic=187145.msg2990608#msg2990608 date=1224890787]DZ,
There's nothing more I can say to you. Enjoy!

@topic
WE ARE NOT THE SAME.

I don't know Igbo women enough to confirm your assumption. Lol, Have I even met one offline? [/quote]My dear you need to expand your horizon.
You are Nigerian and don't know one single Igbo lady well?

Pataki:
Ajegunle is more Behind than Mushin oh.  

Thanks for the complimment.
Madam, I no start anything oh. Actually I just lost three chess tournament games online so I wan go sleep. Alongside, do you have any single Igbo sister on ground?

For where?
will you manage people in their mid thirties or thereabout
na them I sabi
I tried hooking one up with a family friend and he saw her picture and developed doubts
Then he flew out to see her and changed his phone number afterwards.
You fit manage her
We go pay you man- price for dowry.

PepERSprAY:
I got banned by Obamaniacs. You dare not say anything against Queenishas husband, barack Obama on this site otherwise you will be banned.

I pray his grandmother lives to see him become president.
who reported you?
why should you be banned becuse of my boo?

Hannibal and Pataki,una don start?

You see how my own fight was civil

Una don begin call forefathers?

LadyT:
She knows I will give her abuse. Me and her don't pretend. We don't like each other.  Shes not got thick skin shes got a problem and people are acting like shes normal.

At her age must she ask tribal questions?

If she knows nothing about nigeria wikipedia is a good place to start not stereotypes.

David its me and you today I will hurt you in so many ways.

David is an angel abeg.
Pick on Hannibal
