Lawd have mercy

BushidoBlue:
The mouth that speaks evil of you, will turn around and speak good of you one day.

- an old Igbo proverb.

onu kwuru njo, ga-ekwu mma. Gbam!

cheruv:
Seriously I need to learn those accent markers...am very fluent in writing basic Igbo but I find it hard in the marking of those accents, and it affects my reading of Igbo literati.

On the flip side
Èké is the Igbo term for East.. So Nwèké can be also be translated as eastern child.
The Igbo cosmology was predicated on the principle of cardinality which means each day was for a cardinal point and so anything happening that day was dedicated to the spirit controlling that cardinal point
Afo = North
Nkwo = South
Eke = East
Orie = West
So like for example the market in my place is called Ahiaafo,which translated means northern market. In owerri where I live, the market is called Ahia Eke Ukwu Owere meaning the great eastern market of owerri

niiice
Im learning of this cardinal points stuff for the first time. We also have eke awka and nkwo nnewi in anambra.

Oh and tone marking is not hard at all, it was one of the funnest topics we did igbo language then..
could teach you but I dunno how.

what is the meaning of nweke?

èké is a day in igbo calender different from éké (python).
So nweke is a child born on the èké market day.

vizkiz:

Forensic and Behavioral Analysis:: He is definitely Yoruba by his looks and the fact that he pissed inside a bottle and on the chair.

His name is most likely Kayode or Femi or something with an "Olu or Ade" in it. He Is not well educated, lives in the slum like Mushin or Agege and has bad hygiene habits. Probably attends a White Garment Church and likes to eat soups with lots of oil. He talks loudly and and speaks with a horrible accent.

If only GEJ had carried the south-west along, things would have been different.
Don't blame the Yorubas, we cried and begged then but GEJ neglected us...We gat no choice than to throw him out. Buhari will perform I have no doubt but his Appointment ain't speaking well for him so far, Nigerians should exercise patience for the Ministerial list

dis people are still talkin. them don use and dumb y'all and you're still talking

They cant condemn their masters nah. Are you a learner?

eluquenson:
Firstbank still the best national bank to work with in this country if truly you know much about management structure and welfare.

To a large extent Fidelity bank is better than so many banks in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, 90% of their staff are igbo so others beware.

beware of what exactly ?

otabuko:
RIP to the dead... The distance between the dead and the living is very close.... Just day before yesterday i survived appendicitis surgery.... Everyday you find yourself healthy, please be grateful..... Gracias!

thank God for your life

why cant y'all just give this man a chance?

Earthkumy:
I'm not a tribalist but is only yoruba's that spell Igbo as Ibo. He said he is Ibo not Igbo, I'm still looking for Ibo on google

I know he's yoruba..

ibotic:
I am ibo and from Nnewi.
I am ashamed of my people.
Nigerians should forgive us for our stupidity
We are just sorry because we are jealous of Yorubas
We wish we had an origin, history and culture like them.
We must be less cowardly and brave like Yorubas who plan better.
I say no to Biafra and I know we need Nigeria more than you need us.
Please just allow us to be shouting Biafra of the Internet because we are jobless.
Nairaland is all we have and even that is owned by a Yoruba man who is nice.
We must stop Okija, ritual killings, Osu issue, fraud, fake spare-parts etc
We know without you we cannot survive that is why we run to your land
Our shame and hopelessness in the face of your superiority is terrible.
Even Ijaws are now our bosses and we have been reduced to goats.

I'm igbo but this your comment and siggy made me rotfl

Whats the big deal there kwanu?
Is suya-selling restricted to only a group of people ?

No offense taken.

You are the kid here. If you are not an arrant kid with no bearing, you will not comment like an eeediot on a thread that doesn't concern you. Unfortunately for you, you cant grow up; your case is congenital and therefore everlasting.

mumu go and find your mate

SS this SS that, all because of oil.

When will y'all SE/SW know your worth

[quote author=wadetaw202 post=37068095][/quote]oh God not another reptile.
Grow up first, maybe then i can exchange posts with you.

wadetaw202:
You lack a good understanding of the English language. So, I will educate you. Chest beating is when you have nothing, but claim you have it. Example is when KANU scammer-in-chief of Igbo's, claims he has an army, but in real sense he is lying. Another example is when Igbo's claim Yoruba's are dirty, but the igbos actually hold the award of having the dirtiest town in Africa, aba. Can you imagine?

So flaaaathead, we Yoruba's have it and we are not just talking about what we don't have. We are talking about what we have. We are light years ahead of Igbo's in education. We have made names before igbos started waking up. So Mr fake drug manufacturer, you either shut up and read on quietly or get the hell out of this thread. Who even invited you in the first place?

mascot87:
Igbo boy keep quiet.

Yoruba rocks

Igbos jealous since 0012AD

I can only be jealous of what I dont have.
Just dont come around and call igbos chest beaters.
