Law in Igbo language means Iwu. This is often referred as Iwu ala, iwu ani, iwu ala, iwu eli or iwu obodo. This is the law of the land, or the law of the town, or the law of the country. From Iwu, the following are derivable:
1. Odi na iwu: it is forbidden by law, illegal.
2. Tinye iwu: make law or enact law.
3. Mebi iwu: commit crime, offence, break law, sin, wrongdoing.
4. Ida Iwu: to break the law.
What are these laws?. Some are similar to those in the official Nigerian system while some are universal because Ndigbo are part of humanity. A few are nonetheless, distinctly Igbo.
Ndigbo, let us assembly them.

Ezune oshi (ezule ohi): Do not steal.
Egbune madu: do not kill any person.
Akwula udo: do not commit suicide.
Ara la nwunye madu: Do not commit adultery.
Ayi na nwunye madu oyi: do not flirt or befriend another person's wife.
Ara na nwanne gi: do not have sex with your kith and kin-incest.
CAN WE LIST THE REST PLEASE?.

greateros: Anapuna nwayi ajadu oku ya ma obu ihe nwe-nwe ya ni ike [thou shalt not forcefully take that which belong to the widow]

Kwayere ugwu ye nne gi na nna gi na ndi okenye na ndi ogbo nile toro ogbo gi! [honor thy father and thy mother and also honor your elders as well as all age grade older than yours - its has been in iwu igbo even before the advent of bible]

Ada na iwu mbosi nkpocha mmilli ma ubochi izacha afia na ubochi ndozi uzo na ubochi ndozi obi eze ma obu obi aluzi obodo [do not absent your self on days mapped our for cleaning of the stream, sweeping of the market, clearing of roads, and the days of cleaning the palace of the king and the days of cleaning the town shrine]

Atana muo! [do not expose the secret of the masquerade cult - that is for those already initiated into the masquerade cult]

etina onye obula ife ma obu nuo ogu nu bochi iwaji-ofuu na ubochi ede-aro ma obu nu bochi ofala igwe - ubochi ndia bu ubochi di na nso! [do no harm to anybody nor fight on new yam festival, coco-yam festival or the kings festival period because those days are regarded as sacred]

etiyen na aka na ajo ogwu ma obu na ajo ihe imegide mmadu ibegi - egbe belu ugo belu - OFOR! [thou shalt not involve yourself in bad charms or involve yourself in vices that will harm your fellow man - let the kite perch and the eagle perch!]

Umunne na umunna emegbula Onweha! [brothers should not harm themselves]

that's all i could remember for now. nice thread.

Ihe i dere amaka.

Emebile ihe madu ibe gi: do not destroy or damage the property of any person. Impregnating somebody's daughter without the offer of marriage is taken as a form of destruction or damage in almost all the Igbo communities.

[quote author=Andre Uweh]
Ara la nwunye madu: Do not commit adultery.
AKWANA IKO is do not commit adultary.
Ara na nwanne gi: do not have sex with your kith and kin-incest. KWASINA NWANNE GI IKO.

@Nedu, Ikwa iko na ira nwunye madu bu ofu.
Anyway, am expecting some laws from your own Igbo community or the general Igbo laws.
Do you have any?.

Agbana ama ugha: do not bear false witness testimony against any person or be a false witness.
Ndigbo frown at people who engage in such vices.

O dighim ka owu oshi maka na o bughi na ime ezi ma o bu ulo nmadu.

Greateros, imela!

Ila nwunye mmadu is a big sacrelage in igbo land.

Akwu la udoh - Do not commit suicide (usually by hanging at the time).
Suicide is seriously frowned upon, and you are buried with no honor, with your body facing the earth.

Egbula ochu.
Ekpegidena nwanyi Ajadu.
Nna ga so oto nnwa ya nwanyi

1. I ga azapu ulo ututu tupu erie nri ututu (Must sweep the house before breakfast)
2. I ga ekwe ekene ututu (You must respond to a morning greeting even if it was your enemy that greeted you)
3. Ejighi aka ekpe anara mmadu ihe (You cannot receive things with your left hand)

More to come

Na ala Igbo, Mmadu anagi alu nwanneya --- In Igbo land nobody marries his brother or sister
