Many people find it difficult to have certain conversations in Igbo, especially when it comes to topics we aren’t used to discussing. But should there be any limits to what we can express in our language? Do you think having open conversations, no matter the topic, would help us... show more

Growing up, there are some Igbo words that seem vulgar when spoken about but when you say those words in English, it is different. I think it's time we embrace our language with our full chest and know that all those words are not bad simply because it's our language 😏

A powerful message passed. We should be able to understand that no word in our language is vulgar. Amu and Otu are just mere body parts. I wish the lady didn't have to use English as often as she did.

This is seriously enlightening. Till today, I rarely mention those words, whether in Igbo or in English. I was raised to see those words as taboo and see those who mention them as spoilt children. It can only get better.

We have no vulgar word in our language we should teach our children to say those words when need, completely prohibiting them from using those words make it seem vulgar. While we grew we could say Amu but Otu or Ikpu, I won't pass that down.

#WATCH | Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah says, "There is no opposition to any language; there should not be opposition to any foreign language, but the insistence should be to glorify our language, there should be an insistence to speak our language, and there should be an insistence to think in our language..." "We should get rid of the mentality of slavery. And until a person takes pride in his language, does not express himself in his language, we cannot be free from the mentality of slavery..."

We started a podcast. In Hindi. This is "Episode 1: Founder Ke Paise." Abhijeet and I have had lots of long conversations about startups, founders, and building companies. Our conversations were more honest and direct when we talked in Hindi. When we discuss ideas in Hindi, everything becomes easy and effortless. Many of our friends have had the same experience. But we couldn't find anyone in the Bay Area openly discussing ideas in Hindi. So, we decided to start a podcast in Hindi to bring these discussions and conversations to everyone. We plan to discuss anything we find interesting. We also plan to have interesting and accomplished guests. I think they'll share lots of insights that are lost because of the language. Hope you all like it.

In Igbo culture, it is forbidden to bow down to anyone no matter the status of that person. In Igbo culture we forbid to have a central king. Ndigbo don’t bow to deities. Ndigbo don’t bow to human beings. Igbo culture and tradition is the greatest in the world.

Lagos, see una life 😂🤦🏾‍♂️ Nobody, no stranger can try this kind thing for Ogbomosho and go free 😭🔥💯 "Since When Did Amuwo Become an Igbo Land?" – NDC Aspirants Campaign in Igbo Only, Rename Yoruba Constituency, and Use Igbo Language Only for Campaign This is no longer subtle. In Amuwo-Odofin constituency, located in Lagos, Igbo aspirants are now campaigning exclusively in the Igbo language. They have reportedly begun referring to the area as "Amuwo Odofin State." Since when did Amuwo become Igbo land? When did it become acceptable for outsiders to erase the language and identity of the people whose land they seek to represent? Eko ti gbagbakugba

What do atheists believe in? 🧐 This is just a bit of fun really, but it is based on many conversations I’ve had with those who claim not to have any beliefs to defend in the way Christians do - but we all have a worldview in the end…

Marco Rubio: The President's announced that certain chips can be sold. Obviously it's up to the Chinese to accept it, but I think we always have to establish our area of dominance. In essence, the cutting edge, the things that give us an advantage. It would be dumb and stupid for us to sell that to anybody, especially a country that's going to reverse engineer it and leapfrog it. So I think that's understood maturely speaking. There are things the United States still has dominant position in and from our national security perspective, we should keep that dominance. We want to keep that dominance. The Chinese are going to do their best to catch us and even surpass us. We shouldn't make it easy for them.

Fish trader lamenting over economic hardship: “Government help us, you asked us to vote for you, we voted for you and you’re making us suffer” “Goods are now too expensive. We can not go out, we can not eat, we cannot send our children to school, please help us” “You should have allowed the Igbo man. If Igbo had entered it wouldn’t be like this, you said it’s Yoruba’s turn, that it is your turn, now you’re not doing anything”

It is going to be difficult to create genuine wealth in this country if we let the boda boda folk be the ones making political choices for us because we think we are more special and politics is beneath us. That attitude is what has let us to where we are right now. It needs to stop. We need to have the right conversations. We need to read the Constitution, the penal code, the PFM Act. We do not have a choice at all other than this.
