yea. I've never heard it being pronounced as IGBO. even by igbo people themselves. maybe because their gb sound is very silent?
odumchi should come explain to us why igbo people themselves pronounce the word as ibo.

Eventhough most times u're crazy, I atimes appreciate your honesty e.g, in differentiating Igbo from Ibo. Don't mind Ileke-Idi. She probably grew up in the forests of Ekiti, come miss road enter yankee. cool

[size=13pt]@BABE!,[/size]

My sister, o t'ojo meta. Kilonshe?

I like your signature but you can correct it or else you meant to say "also" in that context. Change the "kwu" to "kwa" so that instead of being;

Oam4j, lovu gi di kwu egwu,

It will be;

Oam4j, lovu gi di [b]kwa [/b]egwu.

wow.

yoruba muslims are known to be quite syncretic. that's why SOME hausas don't consider them to be pure muslims.

"Orisha bi Iya osi" is a very popular saying, it has nothing to do with being syncretic. Hausas actually still combine Islam with a lot of their old beliefs. they still visit marabouts.
