@TheresaTekenah What did he lie about?
It's a foolish thing to be supporting someone who lied about his age and school, yet, you open your rotten mouth to call Mr Peter Obi a liar.
Bingo
1. Omotola @Realomosexy you cannot complain that an American producer showed disrespect to an African language while repeatedly calling Igbo people “Ibos.”
That contradiction is difficult to ignore.
2. You recently recounted your frustration about an American production in which an African language Egun was being spoken inaccurately.
3. According to you, when you complained that the person voicing the language was not pronouncing it properly, the producer simply said, “I don’t care.”
4. You were understandably irritated. But that same sensitivity should apply at home.
5. You are nearly 50, have spent most of your life in Nigeria, worked alongside countless Igbo colleagues, and have been supported for decades by millions of Igbo fans. Yet you repeatedly refer to Igbo people as “Ibos.”
6. It is Igbo, not Ibo.
7. If linguistic authenticity matters when an American studio mishandles an African language, surely it should matter when Nigerians pronounce the names of one another’s peoples.
8. And the argument that “Igbo” is difficult to pronounce does not hold. Yoruba itself contains the “gb” sound in words such as *Ogbomoso, Agbado, Gbagada, gbogbo, igba, and agba.
9. Nobody suggests that *Ogbomoso should become “Obomoso,” or that Gbagada* should become “Bagada” simply because someone finds “gb” inconvenient.
10. So why should Igbo become “Ibo”?
11. “Ibo” "Eboe" appeared extensively in colonial-era English writing, partly because the colonialists did not have the diphthong 'gb' in their language, but the people identify themselves as Igbo.
12. Continuing to use “Ibo,” particularly after being corrected, can understandably feel dismissive and irritating.
13. Omotola, you wanted an American producer to respect African linguistic identity close to you. Igbo people deserve exactly the same courtesy from you.
14. Nigeria already carries enough ethnic suspicion and unnecessary division. Respect must be reciprocal.
15. If I make the effort to pronounce your people, language and hometown correctly, you should make the same effort with mine.
Igbo. Not Ibo.
Bless up!
@yabaleftonline When we said that "this country needs to be divided." Some regions are the one dragging us backwards with their retrogressive nature.
Just imagine?
Even in my village, where all these types of structures are built, no matter the hunger, they'll never do this. Tufiakwa
