This is not a warning but a correction to all. It irks me whenever i see people calling the ethnic group "Ibo" instead of "Igbo". The other day i saw on the internet where someone was saying Igbo is the language while Ibo is the people. Please this is all wrong! Igbo is the proper name for both the language and the people. It's really disgraceful and disappointing whenever i see Igbos making such mistake as well.

PS: if the /gb/ pronunciation is not in your language at least try to do justice to that while writing. Thanks.

The Europeans have difficulties pronouncing words that has 'gb'... so the 'g' is silent..
I watched a documentary and the white narrator called okotie-eboh (okotie-ibo) and don't get angry since we adopted the foreigners language
