IDENNAA: lol, so because one northern military man decided Awka is in 'Anambra' they're not longer wawa? Awka is even more wawa than Ebonyi. But to insult someone because they're a craftsman/woman is a mark of your own ignorance. You need to start going home. |

Daniel058: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.. 1 Like |

Ofodirinwa: 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’. |

Gaddafih001: 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. 1 Like |
