Spelling is not the crux of the matter but pronunciation.

Nothing like Kpomo spelling in Igbo form, because the word isn’t even Igbo to begin with.

Cow skin was not considered to be food by the Igbos until fairly recently. It's no surprise that there's no popular word in it Igbo language for cow skin.
To this day, it's not as popular a delicacy in the east as it is in the West.

Soso is Yoruba 101% , go and ask anywhere.

Sọọsọ (or Sọ) is Igbo. I bet the pronunciation is different from the Yoruba pronunciation.
Due to proximity, there is bound to be shared/ similar sounding words between Igbo and Yoruba languages.
E.g.
Okwute and Okuta
Okuko and Akuko

Education / Re: PHOTO: Young Girl Rejected By Catholic School For Refusing To Shave Her Hair by somegirl1: 8:51am On Jan 13, 2018
uglodoh:


As a teacher, I have seen cases of students lying to their parents to have their hair done only for them to see their boyfriends, some will go and gist with their friends and forget to come back home on time, the hair getting a long time to be done.
Parents will start calling the school asking about the whereabouts of their children.




There are so many other things to lie about - after school lessons, group study, visiting female friends, going to buy books, stationery....... even going to the barber's and have to wait their turn.
Short or no hair makes no difference to a child determined to go astray.

Good
I hate seeing little girls sporting short or no hair.e.g. Emmanuela.
Only Subsaharan Africans think it's ok to uglify children by cutting off their hair.
Many parents are ignorant about hair care or are too lazy to sort their children's hair so they take the easy way out.

fratermathy:


They are called Rivers Igbo. They also speak a dialect of Igbo. The only reason you are not seeing other Igbos on this thread shouting "Igbo amaka" is because Don Wanny was a terrorist. Goto other threads and see them claiming the entire length and breadth of Rivers State.

And you all claim there are no Igbos in Rivers until a Rivers (indigene with an) Igbo (name) does something criminal.

jagorinho:

now this is where i am going, i agree that what lai is saying is nonsense to say the least but we have at least two people from the west consistently giving this administration a tough time in terms of opposition ( ffk and fayose) but i have never seen a serving politician or a notable person from the east voicing against the current administration consistently like ffk and fayose are doing, all they know is jumping from one party to the other.....it is funny that the real cowards call others cowards
The east spoke loud and clear with their votes. What value is there in reiterating especially niw that disillusionment in the supposed Game Changer is rife?

Even though people are fine irrespective of where they come from, i think Igbos are way finer than Yoruba girls on the average. Infact, it's not even a contest because Yoruba girls are not in the competition as far as physical beauty is concerned. Now, if we were talking of Igbo and Yoruba guys now, then the Yoruba guys could carry the day but not Yoruba girls.

Igbo men have softer facial features in comparison. There are more pretty Igbo boys and men than there are Yorubas.
Yoruba men might look more masculine to some. It's all very subjective.

BenzEne1:


We know you folks are tolerant. Tolerant enough to label all muslim violent when a few elements with Islamic claims carry out acts of terror. But when Christians carry out terror attacks you dont point at the entirety of christianity. That's how tolerant and hypocritical you are.
When has a Christian been involved in terrorism in recent times? Give an example please, providing proof that the individual was in fact a Christian.
The problem with practitioners of Islam is that you very conveniently believe that every non-muslim is a Christian.

Rashduct4luv:
Assuming it's Muslims kicking against street renaming with a Christian name now, they would have been shouting intolerance.

Well, from experience, Igbo Christians are the most tribalistic Muslimophobe in Nigeria.


They can come to Lagos and see street names in Igbo, Hausa despite church or mosque present.

Even see the name, Latin name in Nigeria, do Italians use Igbo names too?
You are right. That's why there's an area called Amausa in Owerri, in honour of the predominantly northern residents who've made Imo State their home; this is despite those northerners not actually owning even a piece of land in that area.
