In Igbo tradition there are no specific greetings for afternoon and evening - ndeewo or daalụ are the traditional Igbo greetings during the day. Nnọọ nụ! Chukwu alụka! Ị nwaka! ( you've done well) Unu anwaka! ( you (plural) have done well)Īzụ juputara na hovercraft m Azụ juputara n'ụgbọ ikuku m Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ anything more than this comes from evil. My Ideas: The Igbo people refer their Chis their own personal god. Nyere m aka! A chọrọ m enyemaka! Nyelụ m aka! As the proverb says, When a man says yes, his Chi says yes also (Achebe 19).
