hardbody: Owerri dialect Nchi-chi
Arochukwu Dialect Ukwubia
Some other Igbos Ichek(w)u



Please my igbo people no vex for me, but i most ask, why is everything so different when it comes to igbo? i mean simple item now has multiple names- my mom calls it nchi-chi, and now i am learning it has other names, una own too much.. No wonder its hard for a none native speaker to learn igbo fluently.

Amugen.
Bought some last year, while I was visiting Nigeria. Was sooo looking forward to digging in, got home and hurriedly started cracking them open (I like to place several in my mouth at same time). As I started to move towards my mouth with a small handful, I fortunately looked down and saw these two little squiggly guys happily waiting to get in my mouth also. Those things were full of worms!! Needless to say, I've lost my apetite for them.
