Common Afa Languages You Should Know
Afa language is believed to be the oldest Igbo language. Some Afa words form the root words of many Igbo words still in use. While some common Afa words are used in the day to day speaking of Igbo language. These common Afa words which may not make meaning to one not versed in Igbo cosmology are what I want to share.
The list is not exhaustive though. I just felt I should share some that I feel my Viewers need to know.
I also added a bonus in the video. Watch. Enjoy. Learn. Share. Subscribe.

Hello viewers I just noticed some typos in the graphics. Ora Akwu: Dirt not Death Akwu Ora not Akwa Ora. Thanks.

Remember that Igbos have different dialet, especially about Akwu ora and Akwa ora

@@uzopaul871 Afa dialect is fixed, it is not about diverse Igbo dialect. It is Akwu Ora. There is no specific word like Akwa in Afa language.
I love the fact that you explained everything clearly without exposing the secrets of the Afa

Hahahahaha. Please forgive me. The Afa veered into a certain bracket of people that watch my video, which is understandable. There is no way Afa could have captured the wellbeing of the diverse demographics that watch my videos. Thanks for watching. And most importantly, thanks for commenting. I appreciate.
The great teacher,may the god's continue to increase your wisdom and knowledge!!isee!! please sir in a situation were by a family doesn't understand how things are going with them , that is to say set back in every angle of their endeavors : can such family invite dibia to The family home for afa?

Every culture has teachings that make people who want to get better a better version of themselves. The world was not filled with only bad people before your Christ came neither is the world now peopled with Good people after Christ's teaching. There will always be good and bad people in very corner of the earth. We should stop asking questions that shows how prejudiced our thought pattern is. This channel is to showcase the beauty of Igbo culture. If you watch all the videos I have uploaded you will agree with me that the Igbo culture is all encompassing. Stop judging a whole by a part. Thank you.
