Igbo Proverb of the Week

Agwọ emeghi ihe o ji bụrụ agwọ, ụmụaka ewere ya kee nkụ.

If a snake fails to live up to its attributes, children will use it to tie firewood thinking it's a rope.

[There are times when one defends ones capability, else you risked being taken for granted or ridiculed]
The goal of UIU Igbo101 is to be a comprehensive resource for Igbo language learning. There is a school of thought that the Igbo language is in danger of extinction, however this membership-based platform is a leap away from that prediction. our mission at UIU is to keep the Igbo language alive and thriving in the diaspora. UIU igbo101 is here to be a part of the solution, so as Igbo people, we can hold our heads high knowing that "Igbo ga-adi".


Learn all 36 Igbo alphabets and 8 vowels and their correct pronunciations. Brush up on basic Igbo greetings that will impress your friends and family.
