mainman7: We the Yorubas demand an unalloyed and undiluted APOLOGY from the igbos now! Against the agreement, igbos spared their own corrupt politicians during the 1966 Coup. Again, against the agreement, igbos invaded Ore (Yoruba Land) during the war, what a terrible and evil-minded traitors igbos are!
At Ore, they met their Water-Loo at the hand of common Yoruba hunters (the igbos soldiers cloths tenaciously clung to their flesh, became the same with their body, and attempts to pull it off teared their flesh, blood flowed and fear came upon them) they were then mercilessly slaughters like chickens. That was their last attempt to ever try to take war to Yoruba Land.
igbos are the most deceitful and unreliable set of people on Earth. You'll enter into an agreement them but they'll surely stab you right at your back, guaranteed! Worst still, they'll try to play on your intelligence by alleging you of the exact evil they are obviously guilty of.
For 3 unforgivable offenses:
1.) Sparing their own currupt people during the 1966 Coup
2.) For again breaching agreement having the effrontery to enter Ore during the war
3.) Most important of all, for trying to play on the intelligence of the Great Yoruba people, by having the effrontery to demand for apology at all when they should have been using your mouth to wipe the floor begging the Yorubas for forgiveness.
We, the Yorubas demand an unalloyed and undiluted APOLOGY from the igbos now!

I can't believe some pple r this jobless! !!

Unu mewadi whne unu nmegha.

It seems Ikwerre people got this whne whne, they are always saying from Ngwa dialect (or is it a different word?)

Lemme attempt a translation of the boldened: You people. should continue doing what you are doing?

Oguta people would say: Unu meme ife unu ji n'eme.

Does ndube by any chance = Ndi ibe? What of Ili?

Phut, I wouldn't necessarily say that Ikwerre got it from us, but yea. It's a prominent feature of both our lects, though we don't use it exactly the same in all instances probably due to sound shifts long ago. "Ndube" is "boredom" or a state of "listlessness". "Ili" is "thread".

OK. Thanks

It's about time that we created a thread where we [Igbo] can discuss in our dialects instead of Central Igbo.

It will help us learn more about each other and about ourselves as well. So if you are a proud Igboman or Igbowoman come and speak your dialect. Whether Idemili, Nkwo, Owere, Ika, Ohafia, Ngwa, Uratta, Mbaise, Oka, Aro, Ikwere, Aboh, or Ihe you are all welcomed.

The only rule is that you can't write in Central Igbo

Ndeeewo nu.

Odumchi madi nga ichi?
