    About a week ago, we were trying to find the craziest insults from the different Nigerian languages.

    Based on the responses, we can conclude that regardless of the tribe, Nigerians are just not nice people.

    From Yoruba to Igbo to Ibibio insults, here are the seven craziest ones we got:

    Wonbiliki wobia!

    Baruwa Adetutu Adesola

    This is a Yoruba insult for a person that likes food. But is is a crime to like food? Is it?

    Oponu po tea

    Biya ‘beebee’ Abiola

    It鈥檚 a Yoruba insult that means fool. Again, these Yoruba people ehn!

    Anu ofia ka gi nma

    Zee Ching-yin

    An Igbo insult that means, 鈥渁 useless animal is better than you鈥�. But, how? How can you even say something like this to someone? How?

    Anuofia!!!efulefu!!!

    Nwamaka Edith Amadi

    It鈥檚 an Igbo insult, but we鈥檙e not entirely sure what it means. It sounds very hurtful though. The kind of thing that鈥檒l just make you sit down and think about your life.

    Alapa stainless

    Omowumi Adeleke

    A Yoruba insult that directly translates to 鈥渙ne with a stainless arm/hand鈥� and is used to insult a lazy person. But how do you even use stainless steel to yab somebody sha? How?

    Okponu Dokpemu and sule gbefe

    Dammie Rhema Ogunjimi

    These ones are Yoruba insults which we鈥檙e sure in the true fashion of Yoruba insults will just pain you to your chest.

    Otoro gba gbue ka gi

    Zee Ching-yin

    An Igbo insult that means, 鈥渕ay you die of uncontrollable running stomach.鈥� This one is just harsh. Not nice at all. As in, at all.

    Nton mkpo

    Bright Udoh

    An Ibibio word that means Idiot. If you don鈥檛 speak Ibibio, you鈥檒l be thinking they鈥檙e giving you nickname.

    Nkita la鈥檆ha ike gi

    Zee Ching-yin

    An Igbo insult that means, 鈥淢ay a dog lick your butt.鈥� And I ask once again; But why? Why? Why??

    Ebe achi!

    Emmanuel Ogwuche

    An Idoma insult that means bush meat/foolish person. If you did not know the word, you鈥檒l be thinking they want to give you food, not knowing that they are yabbing you.

    And now, here’s a post on that’ll make you remember the old days.
