Get the Akraz mug.Akata is an abbreviated Igbo word, akataka, which means: a tough man like Okonkwo in Chinue Achebe's "Things Fall Apart".
With the emergence of westernization and woman's empowerment, the abbreviated form “akata” was used to describe a tough Igbo wife/woman that can drive away all her husband’s relatives and isolate him from his family so as to gain access to all his wealth when he passed away without given his relatives any chance to claim some part of his properties as is the custom of Igbo people.
When Igbos (in Nigeria) started migrating to America, they found African American ladies tough to control and wayward unlike the laid-back attitude the Igbos are accustomed to. They christened them akata, but now it is equal used for both male and female African Americans.
n. (1) an African American (especially a wayward one).
(2) a tough Igbo woman.

In Igbo:
O na anu onye akata = He is marrying an akata (a tough woman).
Ndi akata juru na party ahu = The party is filled with akatas.
In America:
Well, I'm new here, you can ask this akata (African American, not black immigrants from Africa)
Don't marry (an) akata, she will soon divorce you

Get the Akram mug.The definition of Akata- Acting suspicious and lying when you have no reason to lie. Making people suspect you for something when you did nothing wrong. An example of "Akata"ing would be not speaking when people ask you a question or yelling for no reason and getting worked up.
"Jesus Shelby, stop being such an Ataka and speak the truth already!"
"Man, Ben really pulled an Akata in that trial!""
""I know right, he needs to stop 'Akata'ing.""

Get the Akata mug.Contrary to popular belief, the word "akata" is not of Yoruba origin.
At least, the Yoruba meaning "white bitch" does not convey the meaning intended because "akata" was not introduced by Yorubas to describe black americans. How could they call both men and women "white bitch" when the subjects are all black? The answer is they did not call them that. More than a dozen african languages have the word "akata" but with diffirent meanings. So every language with that word can claim "akata" is its.
The Ibos introduced the word "akata," which means literarily "to become stronger, to be emancipated" to describe the black american attitude, experience, and character - "we used to be slaves, but now we are emancipated; we used to be weak, now we are stronger."
It is derogatory in a way because when the Ibos call them "akata" they say it to mean "that the black american has uncontainable, intimidating, or unpolished 'newly acquired strength.'"
That makes a lot of sense than calling them white bitch, whic they are not, because that is how we view the average black person.
