@OP Nigerians are very shady about anything that has to do with their country. You are not going to get the right answers here. The best thing to do is to carrying out a thorough research on your own by gathering information online and from social network users. I don't know why they cry fouls when you talk about their poor development and the bad things in African society. |

Phoenix619: I started doing more research into African culture. I want a better understanding. I did some research on varies tribes in different regions for instance the Sudan, I found some meanings such as the Luo (followers), Anuak (sharing) and Dinka (people). South Africa: Zulu (Heaven) and Xhosa (angry men). Republic of Congo: Kongo (hunters) My intention is to know who the people are. Since most of the people taken during the slave trade came from West Africa I figure it would be appropriate for me to begin learning more from the cultures there. |

Nd'igbo means people of olden times. Igbos have existed for thousands of years B.C. Read about the Igbo roped Pot. Some tribes don't know the meaning of their name. They adopted names given to them by people from the north. *singing* If i say 'Yo'....you say 'ru'....another man say 'ba'.... Omo na you sabi. *na joke o* 1 Like |

A name identifies you,it says who you are without saying a word. It shows whether some one is colonized,enslaved,indoctrinated or original. |

tucee31: I taya for dis op question sha. Some African Americas understands the significance of names and what it means to them as descendants of free African slaves and their heritage as Africans in exile. Some of them try to combine words that sound African but with no exact African meaning,as long as it is not Samuel or Johnson,i.e, shakur or kanye. |
