It’s a fact Igbo guys don’t want people to learn their language. They want to abuse you in their language. They will even joke at you that you should go to Igbo land if you want to learn their language.

Abeg Abeg make i hear word. Other languages igbos learn where they taught to them by the indigenes. Mingle with the people you learn quickly, nobody has the time to sit down to teach you language with a black board. Or you meet a language educator. I have online igbo language teachers incase u need one

Hearing this for the first time.

That's your own version of Igbo and not mine oooo...

I speak different varieties of Igbo... Whenever I visit the east... People there think I'm Igbo... Because of the way I speak your language with igbo tune!!

Even if I told them I'm a northerner they don't believe...

I know you're not happy about that...but there's nothing you can do about that!!

Amam asu asusu igbo nke Oma!!

Arrewa:
am very wrong as how??
UloAkwukwo is school!!
Ukwu and uku is two different things!!
Kw is udamkpe!! You can say Ikuzirim
Iku is to fetch!! Ikwu is to say

When teaching we say not fetch!!
It is ikwuzirim not Ikuzirim!

Na ur own type of igbo be that not mine.

Your analysis is bloodily strange.

You forgot to mention the brilliant Etuk who fought in the Owerri battle for the FG. Ike Nwachukwu fought for the FG as well. Yoruba officers also fought for Biafra. These facts are not new.

The point is simple, at no point were minorities forced to be part of Biafra against their will. Them as well as igbos were massacred in the north and ran back to the East. Were there some ppl against it? Of course, even some Igbos were not in support but to claim they were forced into it is not true

Yes we were. Before ojukwu declared Biafra, gowon had already created new states in which old Rivers State and old Cross river State were carved out of the eastern region,yet ojukwu added us to his Biafran map, I didn't read this anywhere, I watched gowon say it with his mouth when being interviewed by channels TV.

then you're from Abakiliki!! Because it's only Abakiliki Igbos that will not understand the Igbo I typed there!! Or you're just a pained ipob member!!

Abakiliki people are not real Igbos!! You people don't speak normal igbo... Even normal Igbos don't use to understand Abakiliki language 60, of what you people speak is not Igbo! That's why igbos don't regard Abakiliki and don't use to marry from there!!

No have time for abstract Nonsense.

Ikwuzirim is hausa language for teaching and not Igbo.

That's all...Others things you are writing is non of my business.

Arrewa:
shut up!! You don't don't shit!! About your own igbo language!! Ndinkuzi are teachers while ikwuzirim is to teach me!!!

Go back to school and go igbo!! Stop skipping igbo class!!

Now tell me what is Akara okwu and njiko okwu in igbo??

lolz! now you have resulted to insult,this is the last mention you will get from me,i only pity you fellow alamajiri that you will be teaching this nonsense you are typing here...ndi means people ndi nkuzi means teachers take it or leave it..we have njiko okwu and akara okwu,same way we have okwu gbara mkpi,uda elu,mbuzo you probably dnt no any thing in igbo language and i'm not ready to teach you...dnt quote me again please.

It's not only Igbos , it's like that everywhere. . . Women tend to have softspots, especially when love is in involved.





Man-women affairs is complex and Love is a strong factor!

PeterUdeme:


Only Igbo women will teach you their language. I learnt it from a girl I dated back then. And the Gus were very angry with her for teaching me. Igbo women are very different from their men. Detribalised and kind. Their men are just devils.

How did you understand the language to this level sir?

Arrewa:
no you're wrong.... Go and get mbido igbo!!

Ikwu_zirim is to teach me

There's nothing like Ikuzirim!!

Iku is to fetch while ikwu is to say

Ikwuzirm is to say something to someone to learn...

While Iku... Can only be used in fetch something!

Example ikummiri, ikunri, iku mmanu!!

Go and get your mbido!!

Not only pain but pan.

Go and tell someone come and ikwuzirim gi akwukwi.


Feeling awol with ignorance.

Nope. The Eastern Region Consultative Assembly comprised of Chiefs, Elders and Representatives of all the Twenty Provinces of Eastern Nigeria met on the 27th of May 1967 and agreed to form Biafra. Till today we have never heard that Ojukwu put a gun to anybody's head

Gowon heard about it and rushed to announce new states as a divide and rule tactic on the same 27th of May 1967. Gowon is a man with flaws I advise you to read up on your own

oyatz:

staying with the Igbos in the east!! Learning their language and reading igbo books and novels... Making friends with them especially their women...

Making sure you pay attention to their intonation!!

My two brothers are serving senior military officers in two eastern state...

I have stayed in igbo land for years before Temporarily leaving the east...

When I was in the east I don't like staying with my brother in the barrack... The barrack used to be bored back then...

I will just enter town to stay with my igbo friends in the town and chill all day...

We do speak and interact with igbo language

Staying with the Igbos, reading igbo books and novels made me a professional in speaking Igbo language!! If you see me speaking Igbo you can bet with your life that I'm an Igbo

I have been to 5 igbo states

And have studied their language differences, culture and mentality!

What the people in Rivers state and Cross River states, which Gowon created, never seem to understand even to this day, is that state creation was the process by which Gowon stole their resources and enslaved them to the North

They dont seem to realise that in the old Eastern Region, the people had resource control and payed the federal government 25% derivation and kept the rest.

Today, the Federal government has resource control and pays the state government and derivation has gone down from 75% to 13%

What is the point of having your own state of it will lead to your oil wealth been stolen, you been reduced to s slave and making you poor?

I do pity some of the minorities who were rejoicing that Gowon broke up the Eastern Region and gave them states, they were only rejoicing their enslavement and poverty

Foolish Igbos like you are the reason why topics like this will always spring up. There will always be those wishing to be part of Biafra n those against, why foolish Igbos like you can live with that fact is what I do not understand.

SonOfEl:

you only raised the bar of insults and nothing else. The shows the high of your stupidity. Read the thread topic and stop disgracing your lineage

Reread your pathetically foolish comment ? ! I ain't sorry I'd rather pass.

I really don't engage in arguments with people who are not able to make their opinions without adding insults. it shows the kind of homes they come from.

Maybe if you read my post again, this time around with a little understanding, I bet you would be ashamed of what you wrote up there.

Arrewa:
shut up!! E'kwuzirim or i'kwuzirim is right!! I didn't just learn to speak igbo!! I studied igbo!! I have my own mbidi igbo...I speak both imo igbo and Anambra igbo

If you see me in person speaking Igbo you'll never believe I'm a northerner... I speak igbo with your igbo tune not fulani tune!


My fellow fulanis here in kano call me FulaniNyamiri!!

Some of you here can only speak but can't write!!

Do you know the law of Udaume, udamkpi, akaraokwu and other laws guiding igbo speaking and writing??

Do you know how many igbo Novels I have read in my life?? How have you read??

You want to teach me how to spell ikwuzirim/Ekwuzirim

In fact where are you from?

Hmmm. Guy, I'm scared of you.

Necessity. . . QED




Igbos who are traders need to understand the language of their host environment in order to facilitate their trades.

Yoruba people who are working in Banks, CAC, INEC and NYSC in Kano State don't understand Hausa language like the Yoruba mechanics, Tailors , Doctors or Taxi drivers in Kano.






My Igbo friends in Secondary School and University were mostly from elitist backgrounds with parents who couldnt understand Yoruba language despite living in Yorubaland for upto 25 years simply because their parents were mostlty lecturers or Federal Government Civil Servants.

SLAP44:


I think you are correct to an extent. But the Igbo person also understands and finds it easy to speak all other African, European, Latin languages part from Nigerian language. How can we explain that?

If you go to Obafemi Awolowo University , Ile-Ife, you will see Igbo Professors who can't speak Yoruba language after spending 25 years in the institution to rise to the rank of Professor.

I must say you are quite impressive with your written Igbo language. That been said, the person you quoted is 100% correct. We Igbos say 'ikuzirim', and not 'ikwuzirim'.

You are good already, but there s still room for improvement.
