How do you pronounce Columbia's Dean Nkonye Iwerebon's name? Any help, particularly from current CLS students, would be appreciated!

Easy, just like it's spelled


Really though, I don't know... here's my best guess.


"Nee-cone-yay e-were-bone"

edit:

Pulled this one from an old Columbia thread, it's a guess too but it's not far from mine-

"Nih-CONE-yay Ih-WEAR-eh-bon."

Sogui's correction jives with how I remember her pronouncing it when she came to my undergrad about six months ago.

Suffice to say, I was never Columbia material.
