IGBO TONGUE TWISTER FOR THIS SATURDAY

Nwanyi n'ele anu ele, I n'ele anu ele ele, k'ineli anu ele eli?

A question for a woman selling deer meat----- woman, are you selling the deer meat or are you eating the deer meat?

She was probably helping herself to a piece of meat.

Another version------Nwanyi n'ele olu ene, i'nele olu ene ele, k'ineli olu ene eli?

olu means : thigh, hind leg.
ele or ene means deer, antelope, gazelle and other species of the deer family. They are sometimes called mgbada too.
