Ada Owerri - Sugabelly's language Challenge

Ada Owerri by Ginger's blog

The people of Blogville….greetings

My name is Ginger.   
Sugabelly, A true daughter of the Ibos, keeper of Nigerian traditions said we should speak in our native tongue. Well, I noticed most of the Ibo bloggers are speaking with Anambra dialects (Ijekebe-that’s what other clans call people from Anambra) so I decided to give you guys some OWERRI flavor. Not that I am Owerri, my Dad is Anambra and my Mom is Owerri, but you all know Owerri women rule the home.

And I think Owerri has sweet tonal sounds (should say lyrical?)

(Listen to music playing in the background – Sunny Bobo)

I'm not sure of what I want to talk about so, I’ve decided to teach you all how we praise in Ibo/Owerri. Here we go:

Mama Bekee – Naija Mum In London. How are you..just wanna greet you o. Did you guys see how she advertised my sickle cell study form on her blog and made you all fill my form. She’s someone you can call sister anytime.

I also want to give a shoutout to my Blog Mom – Linda!! Are you listening? You are a good Mom. You take good care of me.

Honeydame – Sweet as honey

Madame Sting – Scorpion 1 of blogville

Wealthy Blogger – Wealthy from birth (phrase made popular by DbanJ)

I have finished o.

If I didn’t call you, not because I forgot, I’ve run out of names!! I tried didn’t I?
