Note: Speakers aren't 100% fluent. Excuse slight tonal errors.
Igbo is a language spoken by millions of people mostly in southeastern Nigeria. Igbo is predominantly spoken in Abia, Imo, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi and parts of Rivers and Delta states. However, there are recent statistics which state that the language is in decline due to western ideals. Okwu ID aims to provide learning aids to those who wish to learn and keep the language alive.

We have enjoyed you and your husband videos! Cute couple! Check out our resources for learning Igbo online okwuid.com/learmigboonline/
Here's a small tip... careful not to put two vowels together. The vowel on the end of a word is dropped when the next word begins with a vowel
If all Igbo women are that fine I need to take a trip. My doctor is Igbo and he never told me how fine Igbo women are.
'Akwuna' is the Igbo equivalent to 'ashawo'. But i would not advise anyone to use such an insult.
I am subscribing to this Chanel because of IGBO language
Akwuna is the Igbo word. Ashawo is an Igbo corruption of the Yoruba word, ‘asewo’ and its borrowed too from the Yoruba lexicon.
“Mmee gi” or “Ntoo gi” means “good for you” or “serves you right”.
I love "Onye Iberibe, Otu Nne Gi, Onye Nzuzu, Onye Oshi" 🤣
The Igbo insult I only know is *ewu* ! Grew up in Zaria in the 80s and my classmates in secondary school would call each other that. With your video, I know more Igbo insults in addition to my Hausa insults my classmates taught me. When my group in a call centre found out I spoke Hausa, we were asked by our language trainer, why is it, people want to learn insults of a foreign language first. Ahhh...I just laughed. When my friends found out the Hausa insult words, we would curse each other in Hausa everytime. Much to the dismay of our trainer. 😁 By the way *ashawo* is Hausa.
You guys are amazing....keep it up!😋 Mechie onu😆😆😆

You have an Igbo father. You are Igbo. Nobody can take that from you. The heritage is yours to explore. On behalf of Igbo people we welcome you. Your skin colour is irrelevant.

@@OkwuID I'm in a similar situation to this guy. My mum is half igbo so while I still have some igbo blood I dont know if it's worth trying to embrace that part of my culture. I have lots of uncles aunties etc over in nigeria who are fully igbo that encourage me but I'm still not sure what to think. What would you say?

Asa is slang for a beautiful homely girl... Asa means smoooooth, stress free, clean, elegant.... then add the phrase mma (beauty) or nwa(baby). Asa mma nwe uzo. The "Asanwa that has the way".
