Onye ihe mere na-eji anya agụ ibe ọgụ.

I think it means:

One who uses eyes
is able to beat a tiger.

#AsusuIgbo #Igbo #NkaDiNaNti

I've been trained in Central #Igbo dialect, which is standard for learning.

In future I also really want to learn Anambra dialect and accent.

#Igbo learning expanded on #YouTube in the last year.

For my beginner stage the key is working out my vocabulary, and there are good few resources helping.

Solemn dedication:

In memory of my father,
Mazị Maurice Ọnwụkwe Okoro,
a man killed during the war,
1968, in Alụlụ.

What it must have been, to have this inscription in a printed book back in the 70s?

#AsusuIgbo #Igbo #Biafra

Cracking open another book in my #AsusuIgbo journey.

Nka Dị Na Ntị by Mazị B.C.Okoro

Funny that one of my #Mastodon mutuals is all over the Dramatis Personae.

#Igbo #NkaDiNaNti #MaziBCOkoro #MaziBEmekaOkoro

My thoughts from this book.

1. For this children's book I am able to understand at least 60-70% of all the words. Not bad now.

2. Still not enough to understand the story without help.

3. @google Translate is really bad for #Igbo language, but still helps looking up many phrases.

4. This being Owerri dialect (right?) it looks like #OwerriIgbo tends to use 'dị' (to be like something) often where my previous training would put 'bụ' (to be something).

#AsusuIgbo #AlaBINGO

③ Lastly, Ọgụ consults his other wise helper about sun and moon. The situation there was some kind of horror show. Sun got angry and sliced Moon's face, and it doesn't heal all that well.

And with that turns out Ọgụ got 2 out of 3, and Mgba got 1.

That makes Ọgụ the successor, and with this every 'dị ọkpara', first son becomes traditionally the successor of every king.

#AsusuIgbo #Igbo #AlaBINGO

Finale!

The old King Ọgara gives sons 3 tasks:

1. Bring hippopotamus out of the water alive.
2. Explain why sun and moon have their shapes?
3. Explain why people are born at home?

① Ọgụ dares hippopotamus (whose #Igbo name is 'water elephant') into a tug-of-war with elephant, see the picture.

② Mgba goes to his friend Ụchị and comes back with long story that I struggled to read. A bit beyond my knowledge. But that explained the birth story in many animals biting and pecking each other.

More news from #AlaBINGO :

King Ọgara found a way to marry his love.
They got 2 sons: Ọgụ and Mgba.
The king is getting old, who's the successor?
Ọgụ conquers and scatters a pack of lions troubling villagers.
Mgba fought a man called Ụchị, but instead of beating Ụchị, Mgba's caught a chimpanzee and presented him as a gift.

Seems the question of succession will be the topic of the next chapter, ISI 9.

#AsusuIgbo #Igbo

Wow, massive progress with #AlaBINGO today.

King Ọgara had wild wahala: saw the young lady, got infatuated, caught and failed, and now looks for a shepherd of the West.

Starting to go faster, snatching more and more meaning. Description of young lady's features was one kind of text 🤭

It is well.

#AsusuIgbo #Igbo

OK folks, this is mad!

ISI 4 goes about a thief and pharmacist, who was robbing poor kids and widows, caught and sent to jail with extended term by that big boss king.

Having served his term, he exacts revenge on beloved king's daughter.

The Ada loses her mind and to this day wanders waters of Bingo river.

And the only treat she might still come to, is peanuts. When King Ọgara sowed peanuts, she sneaked to the bank and might do again.

#AsusuIgbo #Igbo #AlaBINGO

OMG so sorry, the Big Foot turns out a she!

And a daughter of heavenly king, no less.

Oops!

Told you, #Igbo stories are unpredictable 😲

More #Igbo reading today.

King Ọgara hit another ezigbo onye eze with his story. In the middle of this chapter I got confused who's that majestic fella on high, but all hoped are now in his might and magnanimity.

Igbo stories are unpredictable, sometimes strangers are good, sometimes evil.

Let's see, now to ISI 4, whose title suggests we'll finally meet the enigmatic Big Foot...

Little snippet of #Igbo language: I love you in Igbo translated literally will be 'I see you'.

Can you not be taken by this language and culture? 😍
