We develop English language for the English. In fact 90% of English words are from Igbo language. No wonder the yoloba are jealous of us.

''Before English there was Igbo. Igbo is the lost tribe of Israel''
Igbo kwenu! I always feel like crying whenever I see teachers or parents flog their children because they were speaking Igbo language. They want their children to speak English not knowing that the English they want their children to speak was borrowed from Igbo. Do you know that there are more than a thousand words in English, French, Latin, Hebrew and other languages that were borrowed from Igbo Language. Did I just hear you say ''na lie'' ? Ok. Because of space, let me only give you 25 English words stolen from Igbo language. If you need more, you can contact me.
1. Cherubim – Borrowed from Igbo phrase ‘’chere ubim’’ which means ‘’guard my home’’
2. Book – Borrowed from Igbo phrase “bu uka’’ meaning ‘’carries the facts’’
3. Water – Stolen from Igbo word ‘’wuta’’ which means ‘’pour’’
4. Nurse – Coined from the phrase ‘’noro nso’’ meaning ‘’stay near’’
5. Animal – Coined from the Igbo phrase ‘’anu malu’’ which when translated means ‘’meat that knows’’ or ‘’flesh aware of life’’ or ‘’meat is conscious’’
6. Bank – Got from the phrase ‘’uba na aka’’ meaning ‘’wealth at hand’’
7. Harlot – Coined from ‘’ha laa otu’’ meaning ‘’they had sex’’
8. Say – stolen from Igbo word ‘’Si’’ which means say
9. Answer – got from ‘’nsa’’ which means ‘’response’’
10. Carpenter – coined from the phrase ‘’ka apita’’ which means ‘’carve out’’
11. News – got from ‘’nu zuo’’ which means ‘’hear it all’’
12. Soccer – coined from ‘’oso ka’’ which means ‘’running is greater’’ or “there is more running done’’ or ‘’greater at running’’
13. Patrol – got from ‘’puta uli’’ meaning ‘’come out for strolls’’
14. Sabbath – coined from ‘’Asaa bu taa’’ which means ‘’today is seventh’’ or ‘’seventh is this day’’
15. Amen – got from ‘’ya mee nu’’ which means ‘’may it be done’’
16. Genesis – coined from the phrase ‘’jee na isi isi’’ meaning ‘’go to the very beginning’’
17. Conquer – got from ‘’nku ka’’ which means ‘’break down’’

garyaustin: Ubi in Igbo language means GARDEN or FARM. Ubim means my GARDEN or my FARM;Che means guard. Cherubim= Guard my Garden or Farm. Remember that God installed The Cherub (Cherubim) to guard the tree of life at the Garden of Eden. op your are great!
Genesis 3:24 says, “He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.”. According to this verse, only one side of Eden was guarded—the east side and you find the Igboman in the EAST!
Chere= wait, stay, keep watch Ubim= my GARDEN or my FARM Which ever way you look at it CHERUBIM in Igbo language simply means Keeper of my Garden ( as in Garden of Eden ) Get small sense na abeg. Conspiracy theorist. You no De shame?
