Those are the days when ilu have meaning.
In 1951 ano m with mma-mma nke ukwu(ground mum), that was the first time i came to Nigeria. This old woman ana atu ilu like no man biz that was the first time i had the last ilu nturu na threadia. So i asked her the meaning she responded with the second to the last ilu nturu ebe a. Hope u gat the scope.(check out my 2nd to last and the last ilu)Finaly she was able to analyse my last ilu. To kowasiate, the last one means that the first sound from opi sounds tuuuu and other sound that comes, like tuturu is the outcome of the first sound tuuu. eji m na aka na ina akachi the gist.

infact nke a ka njo.anyway echi m ga echi obi ruru ala were leba ya anya.for now obi m no somewhere else. ka chi foo.

Ify!!!
okwa gi turu ilu na nwata kwochaa aka osoro ogalanya rie nri. dont rush it wash your hands welu welu u will get the scope.
Odi m sure na owughi ebe nwanne drogba di ka obi gi now.

Whosoever wants to dispose refuse obtained by sweeping the yard when it's just one basket should do so otherwise the refuse would grow too much and block the house's entrance

And here is the longest I've heard:

Mbe-di-ogu ka ndi iro ya biara n'ulo ya ka ha buru ya, o wee rio ha chere ka ya bia, n'ihi na ya ekwetal isoro ha gaa n'ebe o bula ha choro.

O wee jiri aka ya abuo na ukwu ya wee bokasia ala. O wee gwa ha si, "Ugbu a, buru m gaa ebe unu choro, n'ihi na onye o bula biara ebe a, aghaghi ikwu na nwoke na ibe ya gbara mgba di egwu, tupu aka kariri ibe ya wee maburu ya"

Once upon a time, enemies came to take the tortoise away, the tortoise begged them to wait let him get ready since he has agreed to go with them to any where they want. His enemies left him on the ground, looking at him to knwo what he is up to. The said that if he wants to run, he can't run away! The tortoise made a few steps with his hands and feet and they were looking at him like fools. The tortoise then dug some shallow holes on the ground. He then told them, "Now, take me to wherever you want, because anyone that comes here will not fail to say that two men wrestled greatly before the stronger side won and took hold"

_{Ilu Igbo enweghi ogwugwu}

@Echelon, I kpara ihe ewu n'eri.

The tortoise went to steal in his inlaw's house and was caught by his inlaw. He was bound hand and feet and kept at the road where passers-by will see him. In the morning when people were leaving to the market, they saw the tortoise and asked "what did he do?". When they were told what he did, they all blamed him for the seeming abomination and told him he deserved all he got.

In the evening however, when the traders were going back from the market, they saw the tortoise once more and enquired what his offence was this time. They were told he has been there since that morning regarding the theft at his inlaw's house. This time, they condemned his inlaw, saying he was heartless. "Is it because of the theft? Now tell us, if he does not steal from your house, where will he still? Set him free and let him go!"

Moral: Justice could be reversed if overdone!

Presido, ekwere ekwe na ana akpo ebe ewu na okuko na esi alaba na ulo ha ma chi jiee "mpio".

Mana oburu na i lee anya nke oma, i ga ahu na ndi akpoghi ya "uzo" why? Probably because it is more like a window than a door!

Mind you na ndi Igbo also say that na obu mpio ka a thief na esi abata n'ulo.
