Nice thread. I learnt alot specifically that of Azikiwe. Am from Ihiala and we also have names like Akaolisa, Olisa and Osakwe But they are mainly surnames. There are other names in my town I still find it deficult to understand their meaning. Such names include, Abaliwu, Agbakagba, Anyurugwo, Igwilo, onyenyuforo, Ezike, Alisigwo, Nwalisi and more. Recently I learnt that Asika=Asikaburu, Ejezie=Ijeoma |

@abiki Where art thou? A bu m onye Umudei. Tasia by Ojedi. I bu onye be m? @radoillo and bigfrancis21, Chude is Chukwu de be/ Chukwu de belu. Okagbue! Azubuike! Enuma! Easy, but sort of incomplete meanings without the full sentence. A rapukwana isi okwu a! E je m mgbako Ndi Onitsha na Lagos nyaa. Onitsha erika! |
