Yahoo boys and Aza are like 5&6.They own the slang

AutomaticMotors:


"Emeka" I don dey wait make you throw the first insult and if you run go dey play victim now that I have come for you like your ppl are known for na Ogun go baptise your pelebe head!!

Make I give you reference for my own lingo again abi this OZUOR dey ment!! Where did you think Burna Boy got that "Aza" word from = His Cult
And Where did Aye Confraternity originate From? = Edo

What Language is Aye cult basic baming words based on = Edo

I no blame you sha na Burna Boy and davido I blame mey make Jew men with pelebe head like your own con dey use words mey Dem no understand dey catch cruise!!

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

HNICEARTH:


Certain words are interchangeable in some languages. Obviously, the binis borrowed the word from the igbos. Obi-aza....ain't obi an igbo word?🤷🏿‍♂️

Below is a dictionary

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.

Aza is referred to as digits in the Igbo language. But it was popular first known to be used frequently in Benin city by the yahoo boyz

AutomaticMotors:


Assuming your flat bald head can comprehend what I typed you for understand clearly that Edo language begat the Aza word but as expected from am "Emeka" you must slam your head for wall before e booth you better get lost OZUOR !! Oh you don stay for Edo b4 clap for yourself but me I never stay your landlocked dot in a circle before oo and I NEVER WILL! Nobody needs to stay in that **** to know how una brain dey OP

Na your pa² be ozuor, oluku somebody.

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

You guys are so funny in this online. You don't understand Edo language, yet you're disagreeing with a speaker. There is nothing like account, treasury, etc in Edo language. The word "aza" is what is used since time immemorial. You can easily hear that from aged persons that don't understand English. "De eghe na khan gba aza." Simply means when are we disbursing or crediting, etc.
If the word coincidentally means same in your language, no big deal. After all it won't reduce the price of fuel.

LoveLeadsLand:
Have you ever wondered why bank accounts are called 'aza' in Nigeria?

If you know, tell us.

SK1SOLA:
Enough of all the argument, paste your AZA asap fast fingers.

Zooposki:


The talk does not even sound Igbo. When did you guys start doing yahoo yahoo? Abeg send me your aza. Does that sentence sound like what an igbo boy would say or a benin boy?

Aza is even an Hausa word, meaning to onload or load something.

HNICEARTH:


Lol! Not wikipedia. Just because you are igbo does not mean you must know every igbo word. Knowledge is universal, just read. Their are non igbos that might know much about igbo than you due to search for knowledge.

Below is a dictionary not wikipedia

The dictionary meaning is giving us the Edo translation man.

samwash:


Gbam !!!!
You have said it all.
Some of these children of these days thinks all slangs revolve round Yoruba language.

I don't think anyone has mentioned the word being related to Yoruba language. FYI there is no letter Z in Yoruba alphabet

tollyboy5:

The Benin kingdom dominating the south south and south east must have been the reason the igbos adopted some Benin words.

Any reference or source to back that take up?

Kenmatt:


Stop spreading what you don't know.

AZA is not an Igbo word

I dont argue much, nah book I dey point to. Bring book to the table

HNICEARTH:


You heard it first in benin, does not mean it originated from Benin. It's not a benin word, it's an igbo word.

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.

Tueh..

As in, I still dey wonder why the guy drag Yoruba for the matter. Na Igbo and Benin dey argue🤔🤔

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.

CatchMeIfUCanMO:


Na your pa² be ozuor, oluku somebody.

"Emeka" your Mama Pelebe head

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.

LoveLeadsLand:

What about these?


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aza_(slang)#:~:text=In%20Igbo%2C%20%22Aza%22%20roughly,refer%20to%20bank%20account%20numbers.

I just told you what I know as fact forget Wikipedia. Anybody can go and write rubbish there.

It's a Bini word that means bank

CatchMeIfUCanMO:

You be ozuor, for your mind you wan use Benin compare Owerri for where first cast for yahoo.

Benin dey learn when Owerri dey reign, na recently Benin start to dey hot w.r.t Yahoo.


I'm not a supporter of Yahoo but I am only clarifying things.

If the Yahoo we are talking about is 419, no compare Owerri with Benin. In the late 80s when 419 started gaining prominence, na B-side boys they run am then

folake4u:


Davido - Aza.

I like that song.

Happy ash Wednesday

HNICEARTH:


Any reference or source to back that take up?

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.

HNICEARTH:
Aza is an igbo word, which means digits or numbers.
Overtime, it was widely adopted in nigeria as a slang for bank account number

Everything evil always has Igboland as its origin.. Coup , by Ironsi, Iboland, civil war, Iboland, cannibalism, Iboland, drug trafficking, Iboland, money rituals, Iboland, kidnapping, Iboland. The list is endless.

Tallesty1:

I'm not Catholic oh.

Na G-men and G-boye language for bank account details. So stop this fight between Ibo and Benin thing. This is a very useless topic

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

I am just curious. WHEN did Bini DOMINATE Ibos? Provide facts and evidence.
