SAMBARRY:
you will be sad.if its a curse,back to sender in jesus name.kila gbe,kile ju?so because my opinion isnt among the popular opinions youre swearing for yourself??

First question must everyone agree with you?
Must they like what you like?

That abasha food you people are hyping looks more of excereta than food

im an exception here.i havent tasted the food before even though i see it hawked everywhere but like yorubas will say ojulomonkan to yonu.its the eyes that eats first before the mouth hence if the eyes sends a message to my brain,translating it as feaces in my eyes,then its feaces to me hence cannot eat it lest a riot starts in my tummy or diarrhea

Does this apply to amala and ewedu?

You don’t half ask the strangest questions sometimes.

Imo State people like their rice deep red-pinkish in colour. They used to use palm oil in place of groundnut oil to cook it back in the day. That’s it.

RedboneSmith:
Okay, let me just quietly throw this pigeon among the cats.

Mr Jones in his book about the Eastern Delta Ijos was talking about how some Ijo men who traded with the British in the old days literally translated their native Ijo names into English to give names like Big Fowl and Strong Face, and it got me thinking again about how some of these Eastern Ijo English names translate literally into names that are still very popular in the southern periphery of Igboland.

I used to wonder how on earth names like Goodcountry/Finecountry, Fineboy and Goodhead made sense to anyone, until it hit me that their Igbo equivalents, Alaoma, Nwokoma (Wokoma) and Isioma/Ishioma are still very popular names among the Southern Igbo who were in direct contact with the Eastern Ijo.

Perhaps these three English Ijo names arose because Kalabari and Ibani traders with Igbo names 'anglicised' them under British-trader influence. One of these three names, Wokoma, is still used by the Kalabari in its (original?) Igbo form.

Thoughts ChinenyeN, bigfrancis21, probz?



Okay bye.

Mhm. I’m not the man to ask about Ijo-Igbo links. I’m more interested in the links between Igbo and the northern/western periphery (most especially Igala and Yoruba).

Owerre, Enugwu or Oka? And why?

NwaAmaikpe:



Conji is a problem, but masturbation is it's solution.
It is more honourable to masturbate than to rape.

But this won't have happened if his wife had a tight nunu.
Women please keep your nunu tight, it is not fair that a man hopes to enter a tunnel then ends up in a canyon.

That’s low even for you. The kid’s flipping 12 you cunt.

pazienza:
"Despite being smaller, their cultural impact in the
New Word is DOMINANT. Yorubas are the single
most culturally influential ethnic group in the Black
Diaspora. By contrast, the Igbo who were sold in
much larger numbers are almost culturally invisible
in the New World. This is a clear indicator of who
among the two had a more advanced, impactful
culture".

Imagine this unrepentant confused amphoteric Igala- Igbo man talking about someone scattering Igbo unity, like he knows the meaning of Igbo unity.

Chimoo!

Old thread bump. I just can’t help but ROFL at hardline Biafra nationalist claiming everything for himself. Tribes have their own strengths.

I’m sure Redbone’s done more for Igbo unity than a fervent Nairaland warrior like you.

Amadaz:
you're right. I'm just a sexual pervert but I no be degenerate. I'm telling you the truth.

Sexual perversion’s a sign of degeneracy. Add on insanity of imperative ideas and manic-depressive insanity and they all point at the same thing. Profound degeneracy.

Get psychiatric care. Bloody hell.

Same goes for that NwaAmaikpe perv up there too. When did Nairaland become a sanatorium for psychic degenerates?

JohnnySarz:
you are such a degenerate

He’s probably a sexual pervert on top of it. All manifestations of degeneration.

blazhykowskyi:
Ebonyin people are fake Igbo. Wawa people. Herdsmen can not try shit in Igbo land. We are brave people. We are not like Afonja. We will rather run away from our land like ojukwu and kanu than to be raped.

Bloody hell.

NwaAmaikpe:



Such a useless woman wrapper.

How will he face the Lord on the judgment day and tell him that he decided to die because of a woman?

There’s a difference between casual side-hoe ad wife. Or are men not supposed to give their life to protect their family?

MrMoney007:
Men always displaying their feelings, women always forming feminists but beg for blow jobs in privacy

Abroad isn’t Nigeria.

1shortblackboy:
that one na ur opinion

Ikwerre’s Igbo. That’s not up for discussion.

fero007:
I grew up thinking 3 major tribes in Nigeria were the only tribes, then i would see a bini girl or a calabar boy and call them 'omo ibo' and since I didn't understand their language it all sounded ibo to me, until recently I learnt of the other tribes in the east, the ishan, ijaw, urhobo, ogoni, Ibibio,e.t.c like 20 of them, i even met one Amadi dat told me he is not Igbo, he is ikwere, n one guy, Okoro, told me he is urhobo nt igbo
And am like where are these people in this country, then i was made to know dat the likes of Osasu(Bini), Tari(Ijaw), Kevwe(Isoko) n Ekaite(Efik) are not Igbos as I thought.
But I've noticed that these people ve many likeness with Igbos, from the customs i hear them talk about, their dress, their dance, the way of cooking, many words in their language, the way they do things generally is more like Igbo, than Yoruba or Hausa.
What is the reason for this closeness?

Ikwerre’s Igbo and Eshan’s closer to Yoruba than Igbo.

Life as a student

Looks pretty rich as far as student food goes.

Ishilove, da advice specialist!

You should consider opening up your own advice blog...Sisi Ishi Column.

Mazi of Enugu Ukwu. Nice to see you posting elsewhere than that bloody Visa thread for a change. No offence.

How far?

Who else loves mixing egusi with ora soup? I hear Abiriba people are in love with that combination.

Who?

I work nights and I’m a night owl by nature.

Somebody should come and fight me.

I hope someone lights you on flipping kerosine with those electric gas cookers. Let them roast your incestous dick and use for at least bush meat pepper soup.

Vegetable yam loading.

Close this thread.

Igbos are innately predisposed. We don’t need a history of origin.

The moderators obviously don’t care that a mentally troubled girl’s putting herself up for exploitation. Disgraceful.

awa:
Village people.....

The woman’s white. Leave your local wahala out of it.

spiralwedge:
Why are you opening weird topics upandan NL? I dont get

She’s ill.

scholes0:
This thread is about languages, so should it really be an issue who I decide to further ask some questions from about languages they know?
Besides, all the other people are so random, you on the other hand are not a random persona in the culture section.

I don't know why you sound so angry for nothing.

And going by your history you like baiting Igbo people in general. Like I say if that’s all there is to you asking me look for those IPOB kids to troll. I won’t put on a yoruboid language expedition to soothe your Yoruba ego.

scholes0:

He sounds angry already.

You still haven’t answered the question

I’m waiting scholes. Why jump on me but no one else?

Out of interest why is it just me you went for on this thread and no one else? And you want me to put on an exhibition for you to prove what exactly? Why me and no one else, hm? Especially when I said I only speak “little bits here and there.”

Of course it’s just you trolling again. Useless cunt.

scholes0:
Of course you were lying.

Of course it’s none of your damn business what I speak. Go troll someone else.
