No Igbo words for plumber, electrician and carpenter, if that's what you are asking. We didn't know about these vocations before the Europeans came, so we simply use the English words.

I na-acho odozilatirini, odozioku, maobu okpunku?

Like Rado said, Igbo has no native words for plumber, electrician and carpenter. I had to improvise words for them.

Odozilatirini - literally repairer of toilet - plumber
Odozioku - repairer of light - electrician.
Okpunku - carver of wood - carpenter.

Hope you're satisfied now? smiley
