A colleague asked me to recite the Igbo alphabets after I finished ranting about my Igbo proficiency. I was shocked when I realized that I have forgotten some of the alphabets. Nawao!!! To save my face, I codedly went online and researched the alphabets. Hmm.. I know it is not right but what can I do naaa...

I feel that you may be trying to recite the alphabets now. If we happen to be in the same shoe, kindly checkout the expo below:
