oook, always a counter thread
No, they can't counter, only to display their inferiority complex, reason why they can't have complete holy bible in ibo language. It is good to lead and others follow.

Kai. It's because of arguments such as these that the OP used Igboid alongside Igbo but mbanu, we must know that you're very unique. Like we've not always known that fact. Is there any dialect without influence from elsewhere?

Hence the use of the term "Igboid", not "Igbo".

Na wa! If the OP wants to compile the various dialects of Igbo, he should make out time, energy and resources to do so. It's not a day job.

Just like Ara in Igbo means madness and it is a popular yoruba name.
Point is, it doesn't matter what Igbo means in your language. What matters is what it means in the language of those directly concerned.
