SPEAKER_02 0:13

And welcome to your weekly omnibus. If you've had a busy week and didn't quite get round to listening to the Igbo Daily Drops, this is your chance to catch up. Now you'll get to hear all 5 episodes from week 4 brought together in one place. Our mission is simple to raise 10,000 next generation Igbo speakers. And every phrase you practice brings us one step closer. So whether you're in the car, on a walk, or relaxing at home, let's spend a few minutes inside the Igbo world through stories, proverbs, and the sentences we've learned this week. Kanyibido, let us begin. Adenze is thirty four. Born in Enugu, raised from age seven in Luton, England. She hasn't been inside a Nigerian market in twenty six years. She stands at the entrance of Onesame Market on a Tuesday morning in January, and she cannot move. Not because she's frightened, because she is looking. Three pyramids of rice on blue plastic trays. White perfect, each grain catching the morning light like something deliberate. She does not know the words yet. Welcome to Ibo Daily Drops Episode sixteen, week four, day one, Monday. Today the first words you say in a market are what you see, what you name, what you ask for. Kanyibido, let us begin. Today's proverb is this Ahyoma Neromeya. A good market sells itself. Ahoma Neromeya. What is genuinely good does not need to announce itself. It simply is, and the world finds its way to it. Today Adeze does not know the words for what she sees, but learning to say I see. That is how the market begins to sell itself to you. So today we're going to learn how to say what you see, how to name two foods in any Igbo kitchen, and how to ask someone at someone else what they see, turning a statement into a conversation. One structure, three doors. The woman behind the rise pyramids does not look up. She is sorting beans, pinching out the dark ones with the precision of someone who has done this ten thousand times. Mama Chingwe fifty one thirty years in this market. Adenze stops at her stall. Ahoromosikapa, she says quietly, trying.

SPEAKER_00 4:24

Mama Chenwe looks up. I see rice. Not a question, not a greeting.

SPEAKER_02 4:34

Just I see you, I see what you have, I am here.

SPEAKER_00 4:42

Mama Chingwe nods once slowly.

SPEAKER_02 4:49

The way you nod when someone speaks your language carefully, not sure yet if they have the right. Oddima Good. She gestures at the tray beside the rice. Gari dried fish a mound of crayfish the colour of ember. Keding Horo What do you see? Adeze looks at twenty six years of absence arranged on a blue plastic tray. Ahoro Munri I see food. Mama Chienwe smiles. Not a polite smile, a real one. Ahane Romwe She adjusts the nearest pyramid. A small, precise gesture, like straightening a frame. The market had already sold itself. What Adeze did, naming what she saw in Ibo to a woman who held power in this space was not small. In documenting Ibo Market Women's Authority for an article, I wrote, one pattern appeared in every record. Market entry is relational before it is commercial. You do not arrive and state a prize. You arrive you are seen. Chinyere Felis Chikwendu of Unnam Deazikiwe University conducted field work inside this exact market in twenty twenty five and found precisely this. Formal governance is male dominated, but the actual commerce, prices, credit, the intelligence of how goods move runs entirely through women's kinship networks. Women like Mama Ching. Carl Polanyi called this institutional embeddedness in nineteen forty four. Ibomaket women had been running it for centuries before Polanyi was born. The market doesn't just sell goods. It tells you who you are in relation to others. Let's name what we see. Repeat after me. Number one Ahorum Osikapa. I see or I saw rice.

SPEAKER_00 7:39

Ahorum Osikapa. Ahorum Osikapa. Number two. Ahorum ri saw food. Ahorum rifle. Ahorum rick. Number three. Keduin hi horo.

SPEAKER_02 8:15

What do you see? Or what did you see?

SPEAKER_00 8:20

Kedwin Hihoro. Kedwin. I see I see.

SPEAKER_02 8:34

What do you see? That is the first move of every market transaction. Presence recognition invitation. Ayomane Rumwe. The elders were not talking about rice. They were talking about you. When you name what is in front of you in the language of that place, you're not just practicing, you are showing up. Before this day ends, say ahorum usikapa or ahorum any object you want to mention. Ahorum Osikapa somewhere. Name what is genuinely there. That is the market beginning. Today say ahorum to someone and then name what you see.

Abum one Ivon Choma Mbanefo. I am your sister Ivan Choma Mbanefo. Kanyagihu Iadema Nihenile Hihoro. May your eyes see what is good in everything you look upon. Kaya Gire Umweya may your market sell itself or may your goods sell themselves. Kanyibidoze Chi, let us start again tomorrow Adeze twenty eight. First trip back in three years. She picks up the Anchara Blue and Gold, exactly what she came for. The trader woman watches her from behind the bolts of cloth, says nothing. Adeze does not know the word for price. She smiles.

SPEAKER_00 11:25

She points.

SPEAKER_02 11:27

She says in English how much? The trader names a figure. Adeze pays it. Her cousin, standing three paces behind her the whole time, says nothing. De W I am Ivan Choma Mbanefo, Heritage Futurist Daughter of the Soil. Welcome to Ibodili Drops Episode seventeen week four day two Tuesday. Today, the sentences that unlock a market and the silence that sets the price before a word is spoken. Kanyibido Let us begin. There is a proverb that names exactly what Adeza was missing.

SPEAKER_00 12:34

Akonesubiki.

SPEAKER_02 12:41

Wealth makes the heart strong. Not strong in the way of pride. Strong in the way of ease. You know the feeling. When your account is in the black, when you have money to spend and you know it. Something in you stands differently. You walk into a room differently. You open your mouth in a market differently. The confidence is not arrogance. It is simply I am not afraid of this. I know my position. That is akunisubike. The heart that has resource does not panic. Adeza had the money. She did not have the feeling of it. Today you get both. So today you will learn to initiate a trade, to open a negotiation with the question that shows you are a player, not a tourist. And you will learn to push back. The sentence that says the prize is too high, so that no one can charge you the foreigner rate, the diaspora rate, that she doesn't know any better rate. Two sentences the whole game. They are two stalls away before the cousin speaks. She saw you coming. Not unkindly, just the truth. The trader was not cruel. She looked at Adeze. The way she held the fabric, the way she smiled before she asked. The English that came out clean as a confession, and she understood exactly who she was dealing with. Someone who wanted the thing. Someone who did not know the price of the thing. Someone who would pay what she was told. Adeze is still holding the anchora. Her cousin takes her by the arm, brings her back. Same stall, same trader woman who watches them return without expression. This time Adesa speaks first. Ego Le Corbo. How much is it? The trader blinks, names a different figure. Lower. Not the real price yet, but lower. Odiocono it is too expensive. The trader watches her, recalculates. Adeze reaches for her back strap slowly. My money is finished. The price changes. Adesa does not smile. She pays the new figure, tucks the Ankara under her arm and walks. Her cousin says nothing. There is nothing to say. She already knew the language. She was waiting for Adesa to find it. What just happened at that stall is not a story about a rude trader. It is a story about information. Who had it, who didn't, and what it cost. I have watched this in markets in Anambra and in Enugu. Women who never attended a lecture in economics, running prizing decisions that any game theorist would recognize immediately. Each party withholding their true position, each waiting for the other to reveal it. The moment Adeza smiled and pointed and spoke English, the trader had everything she needed. The negotiation was already over. In their 2008 volume, A History of Nigeria, Toeing Falola and Matthew M. Heaton document that Ibo women's market networks were among the most sophisticated commercial systems in West Africa before colonial disruption, operating on credit, trust networks and price coordination that had no need of a central bank or a stock exchange. What Western economics now calls mechanism design, the two thousand seven Nobel Prize in Economics is the formal theory of how structured interaction reveals what each party truly wants. The trader ran mechanism design the moment she stayed silent. Ades ran it the moment she came back and said Ego Le Cobo with her cousin standing behind her. The trader learned something new in that second exchange. So did Ades. Akunesio Bike. Wealth makes the heart strong, not in arrogance, but in the specific uprightness of a person who knows their position. The sentences are the wealth. The obike is what you feel when you have them. The market is not a place. The market is an intelligent system, and the Boben have been running it for five hundred years. Now let's build your drops for today. Repeat after me. One Ego Le Kobo How much is it?

SPEAKER_00 19:01

Ego le corbo. Ego le corbo. Ego le corbo.

SPEAKER_02 19:15

Two. Odio corno. It is too expensive. Audio corno.

SPEAKER_00 19:25

Audio corno. Audio corno. Three.

SPEAKER_02 19:33

Egomagula. My money is finished.

SPEAKER_00 19:38

Egomagula Egomagula Egomagula Take this with you.

SPEAKER_02 19:50

Akunesio Bike You know this feeling already. The specific uprightness of knowing your account is healthy, knowing you can hold your ground, knowing you are not going to be moved. These sentences give you that feeling in language. They put the money in your mouth. Before this day is done, say Ego Kobo anywhere a price is waiting to be asked. Not to practice, to feel what it is to stand in a market and know your position. That is the Obiike, the strong heart. It was always yours. Say Egole Kobo to someone today. In the supermarket, in the market, in the car with your children. Let them hear the question. Let them know you know how to ask.

Your review is how another learner finds their way home. Every sentence you learn is a drop, and every drop feeds Oko Simibo, the ocean of Ibonge. This has been your Ibo Daily Drop. Abum one nekimwani Ivon Chuma Mbanefo. I am your sister Ivon Choma Mbanefo. Kolugidi Ke Nahiobola May your voice be strong in every marketplace. Kanye Fuchi until meet again tomorrow. Emeca twenty two Anambra State He is at the entrance to Ekoka Market, with his uncle's list in his head and his mother's voice behind his ear. Don't come back without what you went for. The market swallows him. Smoked fish, a tomato seller's shout, bare feet on warm concrete. A woman presses a bunch of ede into his hands before he can speak. He gives it back. He knows what he wants. The question is whether he can say it in Ibo clean and without apology. No. I am Ivon Choma Mbanefo, Heritage Futurist Daughter of the Soil. Welcome to Ibo Daily Drops Episode eighteen week four day three Wednesday Today how to say exactly what you want in the language of the place Kanipido Let us begin.

SPEAKER_00 23:31

Today's proverb is this Upudorania Adibony Upudorania Adech harms no one.

SPEAKER_02 23:48

Enable life to say what you mean is not aggression. It is care. You honor the listener, you keep both parts open. The proverb answers Emeka's fear before the story begins. Today you will learn to name three specific things you want. Not I want something too vague. I want yam, I want fish, I want salt and oil. Three sentences, one architecture. A want becomes a transaction.

SPEAKER_00 24:28

A transaction becomes connection. The G seller third stall on the left The trader, a man his uncle's age on an overturned crate does not look up.

SPEAKER_02 24:47

He is counting.

SPEAKER_00 24:50

Emeka waits. The heat sits between them. Then the man looks up. Emeka speaks. Not in English. Not in the half English his friends use in Okato.

SPEAKER_02 25:11

Achoromzutaji I want to buy a yam. The trader nods. Business begins. Two stalls further, the fishwoman. The smell reaches him before the stall does. Smoked Azu The Dark Oils of it something warm and ancient.

SPEAKER_00 25:36

He does not flinch. Atoramazo I want fish. She holds up three. He points to two.

SPEAKER_02 25:49

She wraps them in old newspaper without being asked. The last stall a girl, younger than him, behind a low wooden surface, spread with small bags of no and bottles of mano. She is on her phone. She does not look up. Emaka does not wait for permission this time. His grandmother would not have waited. Achoramunamano, I want salt and oil. She puts her phone face down on the wooden surface and stands. She wraps them in a black nylon bag without being asked. He pays. He turns. He walks out of a coca market with everything his uncle needed and a walk his mother would have recognized. He asked. He arrived. What Emeka did was not simply shopping. I have watched this since I was old enough to accompany my grandmother, Mamakode, to the village markets at Mbise. The act of naming your want in the language of the place. Atorong carries no ambiguity. No perhaps no if you have it. I want present tense here now.

unknown 27:25

Dr.

SPEAKER_02 27:26

Chinomso Dozier of the Federal University of Technology Owere, writing in twenty twenty, found that inbo speech culture, a direct request is not imposition. It is communal contract. You ask because asking is your right and responding is theirs. Atorong is not demanding. It is the social order working exactly as it was designed. And that girl's phone? In twenty twenty three, researchers Chimobi, Onwukwe and Hannah Gibson, studying Ibo speakers in Cape Town marketplaces, found that switching into Ibo reorganizes the room. The language doesn't just carry a want, it establishes who the speaker is and claims the space. English gets you served, Ibu gets you seen. Now let us build your drops for today. Repeat after me. Atoromezutaji I want to buy yam.

SPEAKER_00 28:43

Atoromezutaji Atoromizu taji Atoromizu taji two Achoromazo I want fish.

SPEAKER_02 29:04

Atoromazo Achoromazo Atoromazo three mano. I want salt and oil.

SPEAKER_00 29:30

Atoromo nunamano nunamano. Take this with you.

SPEAKER_02 29:43

Opudorania adijebony Clear Speech harms no one. Today's sentences are not just market language, they are the practice of knowing your want well enough to name it in the tongue of the place without apology. Before this day ends, say atorum to someone today. Name what you want in Ibo. Grab your free speaking workbook at learn IboNow dot com and speak your sentences today.

Every sentence you learn is a drop, and every drop feeds Okosimirimotibo, the ocean of Ibo knowledge. This has been your Ibo Daily Drop. Apun nekimani, Ivon Choma Mbanefo. I am your sister Ivon Chama Mbanefo. Koku porugino doanya. May the words that leave your mouth be clear. Anifuchi until we meet again tomorrow Seracunda Market The Gambia Oleido thirty two from Newi She is unwrapping the oil cloth from the second shelf Egozy tins ground crayfish stock fish on wire hooks above when a Gambian woman in a deep indigo wrapper stops at the counter. She is looking at the tins, but she is not looking for the tins. Only the weights that is the first rule Dewo No I am Ivon Troma Mbanefo Heritage Futurist Daughter of the Soil Welcome to Ibo Daily Drops Episode nineteen week four day four Thursday Today the three moves that turn any market into a conversation Kanybido Let us begin. The proverb for today is Ejilotu amandjaya. You cannot judge a bad market from the morning. Ejiliotu a manjahya. You cannot judge a bad market from the morning. The first no is not the day's verdict. The empty shelf at eight AM is not the story of six PM. Ole does not have what this woman needs. That is the morning. Watch what happens next. Today, how to ask what someone has. Say clearly what you don't and redirect when the first answer closes your door. Three moves The Architecture of every Ibo Market Exchange A question an honest answer another way through. The woman's name is Fatu. Two years coming to the Nigerian section, but today she is looking for something she can only name in Mandinka. A ceremonial salt for her grandmother. She does not know how to cross that gap. Inwerenu Oledo asks Do you have salt? Not the packet kind, the coas kind. Futu shakes her head. Oledo checks the second shelf. Mba Enwegim no I don't have it. Then without pausing, Atoromi Hozo, I want something else. Not a refusal an offer. She calls across the aisle to Ungozi. Abraba woman, two stalls down, the kind of stall that looks from the outside like it sells very little and actually sells everything. Ngozi takes in the situation in one look, disappears, returns with a small clot bag, knotted at the top. Fatou opens it, smells it, closes it again. She pays, wraps the bag into the corner of her wrapper, looks at Oledo. Une, she says, she learned that word from someone. Oledo does not ask who. An Ibomaketu one never mistakes a question for small talk. Imarenu is not the beginning of a transaction. It is the transaction. The question is the handshake. Even the honest umba is part of the contract. A trader who tells you she doesn't have something is a trader you can trust when she tells you she does. Gratia Clark's Onions and My Husband University of Chicago Press nineteen ninety four. Years of failed work inside Kumasi Central Market shows that Ashanti women build commercial life on accumulated trust, reputation, relationship, the web of who knows you. The social fabric of the market is the economic fabric. They are not two things. Jazz musicians know this. What you play in your first bar or don't play tells every other musician in the room whether you are worth listening to. The honest umba, the clean redirect, the space left open. That is the first bar. He ends everything that follows. In architecture, the decorative wall and the load bearing wall look identical from the outside. You cannot tell them apart without knowing the structure. The opening question looks like small talk. It is holding the whole transaction up. The greeting and the contract look identical. One of them is structural. Now let's build your drops for today. Repeat after me. One Imwerenu do you have salt? Imueren two Mba Emwim No I don't have Mba Mba and William three Atoromihazo. I want something else.

SPEAKER_00 38:07

Atoromihazo. Atoromihazo. Take this with you.

SPEAKER_02 38:24

Ole do did not have the salt. And she said so cleanly. Then she called across the aisle. Fatu left with exactly what she came for. Before this day ends, say Achoromih in any moment when the first answer is no. The morning is not the whole day. Say imwerenu to someone today and listen for what they are really offering.

South East London Father from Orlo, he must date. Mother from Louisiana. His father said one thing in Ibo every morning before he died. One thing Day one. Dobina thought it was a clearing of the throat. Now he is standing at Mrs. Okafo's store on Rilein, Peckham. Phone out, stock fish in his other hand. His DNA results said forty two percent Nigerian. He has been standing there for forty five seconds. He has looked the words up. De W No I am Ivan Choma Mbanefo, heritage futurist and daughter of the soil. Welcome to Iwo Daily Drops Episode twenty week four day five Friday. Today three phrases that complete a transaction and why finishing well is how you get remembered. Kanybido let us begin. The proverb for today is Unya Maebosiana Ma Ebonaga. Whoever knows where they are going home from knows where they are going. Not about geography, about direction. The elders knew a person who cannot name their origin cannot find their destination. Tobina knows forty two percent. Today he will learn the rest of the sentence. Today you will learn to begin, to ask and to close. The three moves that make a full Ibo transaction, not vocabulary, architecture, and why the way you close tells the person everything about who you are. He says it Ndewono Kedokimere Greetings How are you? The tones are wrong, Dino slides when it should land. But misses Okafa stops. She looks at him. Third person today who has tried Ibu at her store.

SPEAKER_00 43:12

First one who looked nervous. She answers. She waits.

SPEAKER_02 43:21

Kabina has practised the next one. Ego Lekange Yegi. How much should I give you? Not how much is it? The buyer asking the seller to name what is owed.

unknown 43:37

Mrs.

SPEAKER_02 43:38

Okafa named her price. He counted it out. He took the stock fish and then said the third thing. Emela Kordi Thank you. Goodbye. She said something back he did not fully understand. He understood enough. He came for stockfish. He left with something he didn't know he was looking for. When I look at Tobena and that store, I see something I grew up knowing before I had words for it. The elders say Ekele Behonaya Greeting is love. And what most people miss Inibo, the word for greeting and the word for thanks is the same word Ikele. One word because arriving at a person properly and thanking them are not two separate acts, they are one. Uduku Daga at the University of Nigeria and Sukha Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal Volume seven, december twenty twenty documented this across five Ibu communities. He found that greeting functions as key relational oil. It lubricates collective survival, not social nicety, survival technology. And then there is the handshake. Inibu. A handshake is called itogia eating the hand colonot. To share cola knot is to enter sacred space. The exchange is declared witnessed and binding. Computer scientists call this an SSL certificate. Before any data transfers, identity is authenticated. The channel declared secure. Ibo knew this before cryptography had a name. The protocol is not the door to the transaction. The protocol is the transaction. Now let's build your drops for today. Repeat after me.

SPEAKER_00 46:05

One Ndewo Kedukimer Greetings How are you? Ndewo Kedukimer. Ndewokimer. N'de woke Kedukimer.

SPEAKER_02 46:35

Two. Egole Kam Ganyagi. How much should I give you?

SPEAKER_00 46:44

Egole come genyagi. Egole come ga nyagi. Egole come genagi. Three. Emaila recordi. Thank you. Goodbye. Emaila recordi. Emaila recordi. Take this with you.

SPEAKER_02 47:27

Uny me Bosiana Ebonaga. Whoever knows where they will be going from knows where they are going. Tobina knew forty two percent. By the end of that stall, he knew something no algorithm could give him. A woman on Rhy Lane who had watched him try. Before this day ends, say and they were to one person. Not to practice because arriving at a passing properly is how you find out where you're going.
