AutomaticMotors: I am talking about knowledge, dictionary and etymology of a word. You are talking about cult, aye, davido, burner boy and whatever. Apologies, juvenile. We are basically not of same world in terms of being lettered. I dropped a researchable reference, dude is dropping cult as reference. I am done. You can go argue with your aro mates or whatever 4 Likes |

HNICEARTH:The Benin meaning is closer to the real meaning than the igbo meaning. The Benin kingdom dominating the south south and south east must have been the reason the igbos adopted some Benin words. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Igbo people sha I fear who no fear them They can drag anything draggable Either they are dragging Lagos with the yorubas, or asaba with the deltans, or words that originated in other tribes as their own. Soon they'll start dragging Malaysia with the owners 9 Likes 3 Shares |

HNICEARTH: The problem with this you people's Igbo and Benin arguments is that Igbo and Benin shared words in the past especially the ones that developed in later half of last millenium. Can't you see that Ego and Igho are basically the same thing so Aza Ego and Aza Igho should also mean same thing. It's like arguing if TV or COVID is English, French or Italian. 3 Likes |

HNICEARTH: Aza in Benin is not just a random word. It's our language. It's rooted in Benin language. It's not just a slang. It's the direct meaning of account or "save" in Benin language. 5 Likes 1 Share |

HNICEARTH: There is what is called language development. A borrowed word that is infused to form a new word doesn't mean it's an originality. It's in every language, be it English, Hausa or Efik. Akara Igwe okwu- Phone number. Ashawo, agidi, Waka and lots more are all not Igbo words but borrowed word that are infused into Igbo language. So, AZA is not an original Igbo word. It's not an Igbo word. 4 Likes 1 Share |

HNICEARTH:Any reference of source to prove that Benin kingdom dominated the SS and SE? Are you kidding me? You were all under Benin civilization even some igbo part a people are from Benin. Edo language was the dominant in those area in the past so there is no sense saying a whole ancient Benin borrow words from igbo. 4 Likes 1 Share |

IMASTEX: I think saying it's not an edo word was out of ignorance, may be. However, every book I searched pointed to aza being an igbo word. I am yet to see anybody here point to a book that states it's an edo word. I dropped a dictionary in the thread, pls look it up
