24hoursreporter:. Definitely not! Mbakara is Akwa-Cross term for whites(oyibo) or originated from white man country. When we say 'mma mbakara' we are referring to a white lady/woman from a foreign country. Note 'Afia' also means white, we describe a fair complexioned lady/woman in Akwa-Cross as 'Afia mma' Obio mbakara(Yankee, white country) means obodo oyibo in igbo language |

No 2, is totally wrong, "jouer jouer" is a French word that was used to describe their first encounter with African shrines which was now later known as juju. "jouer jouer" means play play....ie the shrines looks so funny to the French so they refared to it as "play play" thing. |
