Greetings in Igbo Language
Good morning - Otutu oma
Good afternoon - Ehihie oma
Good evening - Mgbede oma
Welcome - Nnoò
Good night - Kachifo

SOME UNUSUAL WORDS IN IGBO
Especially - Tumadi
Perhaps - Eleghianya
Unexpectedly - Mberede
There are many more like irony, exaggeration etc which i've forgotten the meaning but as time goes on i will remember it.

I agree. Pure Owerri Bongo is therapy to the ears.

*Plays Saro Wiwa*

"Enyi m eeh, Wiwa nwanne m apalile egwu o!
Ya wu egwu oma ri nma egwu gbara buba egwu Bongo!
O kwa emezhie nu he uwa akpo kwa ya he zhiri ezhi
Egwu anyi gbara-agba ofo, ofo duru ogu wu ofo zhiri-ezhi
A nwoke shi ya ji ofo, a nwanyi shi ya ji ofo,
Chineke kere uwa amara kwa na onye ji ishi wu onye ji nu ofo..."
