Long story short Agbero is a SW invention that have become a menace in Nigeria today

If you don't like seeing Agbero or bus conductor then work hard to buy a car for your personal transport... Don't continue wailing endlessly on people making their money in the transport industry

Touts exist everywhere in Nigeria.

But the name is what the thread is talking about.

And I said using the word "agbero" to describe touts by non Yoruba speaking na copy copy.

For your information, agbero doesn't mean tout, but it is a word commonly associated with touts and hooligans.

The word agbero doesn't mean tout.

Agbero a.k.a organized thuggery is alien to Igbo culture and was imported into Igboland from yorubaland. In the early 90s when thuggery was already rooted in yorubaland, I never saw thugs collecting money from motorists in Igboland.

Igboland needs to be protected from terrible influences from other tribes. I have started the campaign already and I am happy my Prof. Soludo has keyed in.


If you are an 'agbero' in Igboland, start learning a new skill now, because soon you'll either be forced to labor camps where you'll produce stuffs or farm for us at gunpoint when we capture you or you get killed if you resist the new momentum of purging you out of our roads.

Take that nonsense agbero rubbish back to the original owners in osogbo, obomosho and Iragbiji..

Yoruba land is the only place in Nigeria, agberos are recognized and given unlimited power to act ..
Yoruba people prefer agberos to law enforcement agencies ..

NigeriINs can hardly mention a NURTW CHAIRMAN of their states ..

But we all know Auxillary, Mc olumo , And others ..
even Tinubu Na agberos Patron.

Agberorism is not of the Igbo culture and way of life
Our Culture admonishes all and sundry to work hard and be productive in the society they find themselves interacting in
Back in the early 1970s to the late 1990s it's allienic to see such nonsense in Igboland this na nonsense new trend that needs to be cut off.

It is because Yoruba language is the universal Nigeria language.

Even "Ashewo" that the south east governor wifes use in insulting themselves is from Yoruba.

Many Yoruba words are used by igbos even those who have not set foot outside their land. Oga, oya, nko, o she, etc.

@OP agbero no mean a tout. Na dem dey assist passengers . In Yoruba, it is formed from two words "agbe" (assist) + "ero"(passengers).
Tout na omo ita but na wen omo ita dey pay pass agbero na hin over time, most agbero don become omo ita. Real agbero still dey but mostly dey for interstate bus parks.
Agbero na legitimate work o na omo ita be tout.

Nice observation..
Agberoism is one of those evils that the igbo culture has to endure as a member of One Nigeria. There are no Igbo words for agbero, owameda, owambe, asoebi and all other hedonistic displays of obscene living that characterize outlook of our blodas from that side... But today, these "foreign" behavioral trends have become permanent features in the igbo mans day to day existence, simply because he encounters them on daily basis within Nigeria.. A little frustrating..

Akara and Oyinbo (Eebo) are Yoruba words (Akara was in the earliest Yoruba Bible before Ajayi crowther produced the Igbo primer) Ebukara in Yoruba means communion (breaking of bread). Okro is a corruption of its English word Okra. Egusi is debatable

The only reason why we call it Agboro is because it's alien to our culture, its a Yoruba thing.

One of the tribes that like dragging Igbo words are the Yoruba’s. You’ll never see Igbo drag Yoruba words like Agbero, Ashawo, Ashebi, Abi, Nko etc.
Even Igbo gospel songs have now being translated to Yoruba. Tomorrow someone will come and tell us how we copied these gospel songs from them.

Like someone said, it's time Igbo trademark these Igbo unique words like Okra (Okwuru), Oga (Ogaranya), Oyibo, Akara, Ogbono (Ogbo — when it boils, Ono — it stays) and Egwusi before some people begin to drag it with their ancestors.
