4. Igbo language for all
In Aba, speaking Igbo language rules the day. On the street, in the markets, in buses and taxis, restuarants and even in local schools, Igbo is the language of communication. So basically, whether you are a tourist, a visitor or you just cannot speak the language, you are bound to have some problem with communication , especially in public places.
Even when you try to reply in English, they continue in igbo and even go as far as shunning you when you insist you do not understand them. While visiting the city, it is best to have an interpreter or guide; and if you cannot afford that, get an Igbo language handbook. Look on the bright side, you end up learning a new local Nigerian language.
