Nigerians in America... (Page 7)

@Philo & Onyin....I feel ur pain...although I've been in
Nigeria all my 26yrs and counting and i can tell u d same tin happens here if not worse.
But i understand how u girls feel, based on d fact dat u r in a foreign country and anything u do counts on d image of d country.

My advice to both of u is dat....while odas are bring shame to us
u guys can be d agents of positive change...and rep us well and give us a GOOD NAME.

PROUDLY NAIJA.

You can't begin to imagine how much I miss speaking yoruba. I grew up in Mushin of Lagos state and all my life I've always conversed in pidgin and yoruba now I'm having to speak english, dream in english, think in english and to top it all eat english. Isn't all this a torture???

What I have learned thus far:
what? = gini?
What is ur name? = gini bu aha gi?
what is happening? = gini na-eme?
what do you want? = gini ka ichoro?
which = kedu nke
which one do you want = kedu nke ichoro
which one is good = kedu nke di mma
who = onye
who is that = onye bu ihe ahu
who is calling me = onye na-akpo m
who wants to go = onye choro iga
where = ebee
where are you going = ebee ka ina-aga
where do you live = ebee ka ibe
how = kedu
how are you = kedu ki i di
how do we do it = kedu ka anyi ga-esi me ya
how is it = kedu ka o di
how many = ole
how many is it = ole ka-o bu
how much did you buy it = o le ka izuru ya
how much do you have = ole ka inwere
can you = i nwere ike
can you do it = i nwere ike i me ya
can you find it for me = i nwere ike i chotaa ram ya
can you find it = i nwere ike i chotaa ya
when = olee mgbe
when are you going = olee mgbe ina-aga
when did you come = olee mgbe ibiara
why = maka gini
why did you do it = maka gini ka i jiri mee ya
whose = nke onye

It's actually hard pronouncing these words. And it taking me a little longer cause I can't read Ibo, I ask others how to say these.
