@Tonychristopher You seem well versed in this dialect. Iv'e been looking online for this for a while. In my dialect we say;
O ngee?- instead of O gini(what is it)
Wee-wee(ee as in egg) vs ugbua(now)
Mmwaa vs Mma (mother)
Ni vs Gi(you)
Ele/Elenie/Elenia vs kedu( how are you?)
Agbasa vs?? ( main road/tarred Road)
Owu nne vs Owu eziokwu (that's the truth)
Mmowu vs Mmawu ( masquerade)
Ulo (o as in open) vs Ulo (o as in hot)
Suffixes like;
Imecha-gwele(imechala?)(have you finished?)
Agbali-gwelem( agbalialam( I have tried)


Eg. Mmwaa ni na akpo ni, O si ñi bia wee wee. (The ni and ñi is interchangeable)
Vs Mma gi na akpo gi, O si gi bia ugbua/kita.

It's from the Orsu clan, though we (me)are technically in Orlu Lga. I just found out from my dad the name of the dialect is "IGBO DI IGBO". IGBODI'IGBO.

Most people born and brought up there still speak it, but once you're out it might easily get diluted because the pace of the dialect is slower/ more laid back than other igbo dialects.

Does anyone have any info on igbodigbo? I'll really appreciate It.

What trips me the most, is when people in various parts of Lagos State say they are going to Eko/Lagos. First time i heard it , i did a double-take, asking "so if you are going to Eko, where the heck are we?" That was before i knew Eko meant Eko-Idumota mega-market and its environs, where you can get any and everythin  at the cheapest possible wholesale price.


mind you, eko/lagos is just lagos island. so when they say they r going 2 eko,  they're sure rit!

truth b told , not a bad pix, 4get d parole abt d nails, wats wrong wit being natural, d smoke just killed d whole pix, like a silent killer fart in a crowded elevator!!!!
can go wit a story line, not alone, n definitly not on a cover page.!!!!lol

ikemefa: for your lip color to last long wear foundation or thin film of powder on your lips before lining and applying either lip gloss or lip stick. lining your lips just defines the shape, it doesnt hold running lipsticks back (artists dont like to share their makeup secrets, u owe me) 

Makeup brushes: It is far easier to control the amount of powder or other make-up you are using when you apply it with a make-up brush. A smooth finish is what is required if you really want to look your best. •Blusher brush ,Eyeliner brush, Eyelash comb, Eyeshadow brush, Eyebrow brush, Powder brush and Lip liner brush

Try the natural look with your brows, avoid coal black pencils unless you are playing a gothic role in a movie. masquerading yourself behind a heavily painted face will make you look artificial.

For great eyelashes it is advisable to go over the lashes with an eyelash separator comb, then applying a thin coat of mascara to the lashes and re-comb the ones painted immediately afterwards so as to keep them apart.

Use lip liners at least 2 shades darker than lipstick if the proposed colours are available. Also try mixing like 2 -3 colors of lipliners + sheer lipgloss to attain unavailable lip colours

A concealer can be used to hide dark circles under the eyes and create a smooth surface for the rest of the makeup to be applied on.

Dont 4get to use your skin colour 4 powders and foundations, or do you want me to paint the picture of what u'll end up looking like?

Do not sleep with your make up on. may cause skin irritations, rashes or smudge your couches. if you dont have a make up remover use olive oil or almond oil or tomato juices( which is an oxidant) but the best of them all is petroleum jelly  (vaseline) and cotton wool. its really cool if you can achieve such great feats with cheap and readily available items and also from sharing artists like me. have fun

seeing dirty underpants sticking out of low waist jeans worn by ladies sitting on a bike(OKADA)
its HORRRRRRIBLE
why dont they try wearing sexy underpants like i do
(maybe with cute bows or butterflies at the back of a G)
Though im not stupid enough to go flashing them in public

men should try wearing skirts 4 a change

lets see if the womenfolk wont be given the greatest awards there is

4 being stuck in skirt wahala

eye shadow dames, to light up the eyes of the world

nightmare in nairaland

it all depends on what u blive in.
ure enviroment, religion, upbringing
that u do not blive in somtin does not mean that it doesnt exist n vice versa
that u blive in God ,Jesus, Mohd,gods, mammy water does not mean that other people do
so when u hear of strange topics u know notin about just keep calm n broaden u knowledge on the subject or move on
4 me, if its a topic worth discussin in nairaland  then its part reality
