Re: Igbos come show your proverbs skills by echelon(m): 12:58pm On Dec 06, 2008 |
ifyalways:Iwe kwa? O rubeghi otu ahu. hee hee Ilu Igbo: Mmiri ugo jiri kwo aka ka ugbana jiri wu aru The water used to wash hands by the eagle is the same water the egret used to bath The meaning of this is indepth. Who can decipher? |
Re: Igbos come show your proverbs skills by ifyalways(f): 3:28pm On Dec 08, 2008 |
echelon:Echelon Ilua di omimi. Ihulanu otu ihe uwa siri diri onwere onye ga ata chi ya ma o bu chi ibe ya uta?I guess the egret is even thankful na o nwetara mmiri o jiri saa ahu not even minding na o bu nke Ugo kwoo aka. I pray that we all ga a bu ugo na ebe o bula anyi no MANA O burugodi na o nwere ka o siri di,anyi a buru ugbana. . . . .lets still be thankful. ugbana can't change it hence hes gladly accepted and living happily with it. okwa ka m siri hota di ilu ,theres room for corrections |
Re: Igbos come show your proverbs skills by youngies(m): 10:26am On Dec 10, 2008 |
Emmm, sister Ify, nkowa gi adighi bad at all, but I can only illustrate further: The ilu as I understand it, is about showing the disparity between the eagle and the egret. We all know how clean white the egret is, but it doesn't come near to the poise, elegance, grace and aura of the eagle. Ya mere, you can imagine, mmiri ugo jiri kwo aka, still ugbana is very grateful to eji ya awu aru. I hope I have added more to the confusion |
Re: Igbos come show your proverbs skills by echelon(m): 6:39pm On Dec 11, 2008 |
Lol youngies. Idikwa funny . Ify, your explanation is one way to look at it. Another one that is subtle is this: Whatever you do in life, people will always complain. Whether you are fair- or dark- complexioned, people will complain. So do what you know is right after due consultations and do what you want to do, then let people talk. They'll talk anyway. Hope I have not added to the confusion like Oga Youngies |

Re: Igbos come show your proverbs skills by youngies(m): 1:48pm On Dec 18, 2008 |
Hmmmmm, why has everybody deserted this thread? Guess peeps are all busy elsewhere . . . But I let us all remember that: Ana eme ogu ana emekwa oru, maka alota ogu aga eri nri When getting ready for war, effort should also be put in preparation of food, cos when you return from war, u will need to eat. Igbo makanu! |

Ndi na-eje mposi abali na-ahu ukpana ndi mmuo. Those who defecate at night see the ghost grasshopper Nwata bunie nna ya enu, akpaamu ya ayochie ya anya. If a child lifts his father, his scrotum will blindfold him Onye hapu onu ya, uguru arachaa ya. If one fails to lick his lips, the harmattan will do it. O bialu be onye abiagbuna ya, mgbe o ga-ala mkpumkpu apukwana ya n'azu. May one's visitor not constitute a problem, so that on his departure he will not leave with a hunchback. |
