So I order a CD-rom: Speaking Ibo and it's harder than I thought - speaking Ibo that is. I can't read Ibo so fortunately you can download it on your ipod, which I did and I listen to words. It's frustrating because I’m not sure if the words they are saying is true; I understand Ibo but I don’t speak it fluently so the CD would translate a word in Ibo and I know in Ibo the word is actually something else. Maybe it’s because I got the CD-rom for beginners and I’m not actually a beginner. You wouldn't be able have a converstion with the words the are translating. The CD just takes words and translate them in Ibo. It’s one of those CDs for travelers.  I’ll put some words and translation up so real Naijas can help me. I can’t read Ibo so try to give a detailed explanation --- if you can.


Why waste ur time on a CD rom when u could have the best Ibo and Yoruba teacher living next to u??? I speak and write both Ibo and Yoruba fluently cos my parent are Ibos and I was raised in Lagos. Eko ile.

that explains why u are handsome..... Wink

Hello
I believe AMERICA is somewhere in this world. But u guys come back and make we here feel like we've been living in ghetto. C'mon when you take your shoulder too high naijapals bring it down for you. So play equality and the game is even.
One love

Why is that Nigerians raised in America looked down upon by Nigerians who were actually raised in Nigeria??

This question is actually about me. I was raised here in America (I have been here since I was 5yrs old) been back to Nigeria twice, understand Ibo but don't speak it well. But alot of Nigerians do not consider me Nigerian which real bothers me.

Now why would Nigerians not consider me Nigerian?
may be u are the snobish type. or u try to feel BIG4 dem. cos i know we nigerians are friendly Grin Grin Grin Cheesy

I am not snobish; I'm judged b/4 they get to know. But I do have lots of Nigerian friends but they tell me that I'm not Nigerian....not in a mean way though....is hard to take that they don't see me as Nigerian...When I first met Nigerians the converstion is usually this....and then they get to know me.










I undersatnd what your going through.. i'm mixed but i grow up in nigeria.. I understand and speak Igbo.. But still people don't consider me a nigerian... thats their problem and not mine...
