What Igbos use is oyibo, not oyinbo

igbodefender:
Sir, ewedu is very nutritious.You should take it sometime, prefarably with amala.

Imagine an Igbo person bigging up ewedu and amala. Lele.

klax:
Pls who is kachukwu or what is kachukwu is that name of place or things or a name of zoo or forest reserve somewhere in Nigeria Oh sorry the name sound like one of those gorilla I used to read about then.

Learn to spell before you start coming on here to talk funny.

ba2undey:
Like seriously? How in God's name does that look like dog poo.... cos am not getting

Don't lie. Do you think ewedu and gbegiri look appetising?

Now I know why people say Yorubas ain't got food. Lele that green vomit. Tufiakwa.

Hati13:
No, I'm not.

No wonder.

Now I know you've gone mad.

Hati13:
I thought only Yorubas claim they are Jews in Nigeria.

Is this one here even Nigerian?

AkinPhysicist:
Ibos are the smallest of the 3 major tribes. Yorubas are the majority. Then Hausa. Then Igbo. Than Fulani.

That's actually nonsense when the Hausa population's been recently put at 25 million.

aljharem:
You know igbos love to claim

When we even have names like ogayemi ogakunle eye


Very soon, na igbo get agbada and agbero

You this pikin. Sharap

ewa26:

They'd be dead before they had the chance to see any dibia. Ogili and tomato kwa?

Olu317:
Yeah,So many words gave way for new ones. Yoruba original was more descriptive in nature. Now , take for instance , archaic Yoruba word for lie or denial was o sé/ sé and it is still in use in the rural area. Was word found in olden days iboland close to that? What about IHARÈ?

Ika people still use mgba for nwanyi. Chinenye's the proto-Igbo expert

So much stupidity on this thread.

Laudate, laudate, laudate. How many times I don call you?

Olakunlae:
Nothing in common, culture wise

That's got nothing to do with anything.

Olakunlae:
lol... Sarcastic

Sarcastic huh? Abi na lie I don tell?

igbodefender:
You can take it from me that the repudiation flowed spontaneously out of a wellspring of righteous indignation at the deleterious influence of prejudices and fossilized worldviews on what should ordinarily be refined scholarly discourse.

I have never been a big fan of linguistic affectation.

Nah. Sounds like you sourced every word with a dictionary. Do you think even educated oyibo people talk that kind grammar naturally?

You can quit with the forced Oxford English still. There's no need.

O di egwu. O di egwu.

He was just giving a theory. He wasn't assuming anything.

Johnpaul09:
Hahaha, I can't stop laughing. How could you appropriate me to Imo or Abia State because of your purported thinking that bekee originated from both states?
I am from Anaocha L.G.A., Anambra State, lived in Oyo State, had my tertiary education in FUTO and currently working in Awka. This is to tell you that I have full knowledge of what I am saying here. Oyibo/Oyinbo belongs to Yoruba and bekee belongs to Igbo.

I'm from Anaocha and I can tell you that no one uses bekee in Adazi or Agukwu.

Gala.

Olu317:
If you are looking out for people's faute ,enpuis, you will chercher et fatigué. You can do better than picking on people's mistake(s).

Was I talking to you?

What's with the resemblance of Igbo and AA looks?

Bla bla bla.

I'm everywhere tata.

I thing Redbone's comment just *might've* been tongue-in-cheek. Learn to take things with a pinch of salt.

igbodefender:
Hausa is Hausa. Igbo is Igbo. Yoruba is Yoruba. Olukwumi is Igbo.

Olukwumi's more Yoruba than anything else. Stop kidding yourself.

igbodefender:
Itshekiri is Yoruba. That is the truth, and nothing but the truth

Is it now?

blackberlin:
E be like say u no get work. I no get ur time.

But you've got enough time to be posting rubbish on Nairaland?

absoluteSuccess:
Where did you claim Oga originated from again?

Bigfrancis! bigfrancis!! bigfrancis21!!!

How many times did I called you?

Are you insane?

How does organising rhyme with Oga when its not 'ogernizing'? The Yoruba have both organ and orga in their words before the West arrived here:

Oga, hierarchy, leader. Note, this has no organisational undertone, but have to do with top echelon of human endeavour.

Organ (ogan) anthill, as it is said: okiti-ogan, ori ara re nii jin le, meaning, anthill: upon itself must it capitulate. This proverb is meant to answer the tapering structural mannerisms of anthills.

Other conceptualization of the word Oga are as follows:

Oga: chameleon, o ga: something that puff itself up, because the animal often raise its back upward when touched.

Ega: the common bird that form a band and nest in colony. The bird is so called because....

Iga: this is Yoruba for realm, quarters or family-conclave. It is because of this that the social bird, ega is so called.

Organising is ileto or eto in Yoruba. It is a concrete slang nowadays to call people 'organising' among bus stop touts, even there, it doesn't mean oga.

How many times did you called or call him? Don't lay into someone if your grammar's a joke.
