EmekaBlue: You are trying too hard. Why drop half of a name and misinterprete the other parts, just in the name of having fun. (1) Obiageri = If u come u go chop. Wrong translation. Obiageri = He who comes in a time of plenty. What you translated is Ibia igeri (2) Ijeoma = Travel well (Correct translation = Safe Journey i.e. Life is a journey - best wishes on that journey) (3) Ifeoma = fine thing (Good thing/ blessing. The child is a good thing that has happened to the family) (4) Uloma = Ogbonge house or kakarakaa house (5) Ulonna = papa house (6) Nnanna = papa papa (This means Paternal Grandfather. Usually used when the child is thought to be a reincarnation) (7) Nnenne = Mama mama (Maternal grandmother - reincarnation of) (8.) Emeka = dem do good . There is no dem in this name. Emeka means, has done well. Full name is Chukwuemeka.) (9) Ikemefuna= Abeg make my power no loss (10) Enyinnaya = Him papa friend (Nothing funny here. The child is his fathers friend or the apple of his father's eye) (11) Amaechi = you know tomorrow? (12) Nwanneka = my brother pass your brother. Wrong interpretation. Nwanneka simply means that blood is thicker than water. Siblings are supreme) (13) Uchenna = Him papa mind. Wrong again. It means Will of the father. Uche will. Nna is father. Nna in this case refers to God the father. (14) Ebuka = you too fat . Wrong again. The name is Chiebuka. Chi = God. E = Is. Buka = Very big/great. (15) Ogonna = Papa inlaw Wrong again. Ogonna means gift from the father. Ogo is gift and nna is God the father. (16) Obiora = Public opinion. Obi = Heart. Ora = People. Heart of the people (17) Nonso = you too near. Where did you get the "you" from? Full name is Chinonso = God is near. Chi = God No = Is. Nso = Near. (18) Amobi = you know him mind. 9 Likes 1 Share |

VargasVee: Literal translation does not mean you should literally mislead people. Literal translation of Chiebuka = God is great. If he only translates half (ebuka), it leads to an intentional misrepresentation. Buka is to be bigger/greater. And that is the literal translation. He was also way off with Nonso.

nextstep: My brother, I just feel that there are some jokes that are low brow. No be everything you go de joke with. Especially when you know it will lead to a lot of miseducation. A lot of Igbo people don't even understand Igbo. Some of them don't even have Igbo first names. Will all these misinterpretations also not discourage them from naming their children Igbo first names? Our native names are special and have a lot of meaning. Misinterpreting them for a laugh, devalues them 3 Likes |

Cubeet: I am not afonja and cannot speak for them but ibos invented using human head for money (ego). ibos started the trend to sell their father and mother for money, they then upgraded to selling babies for money - actually there are baby making factories in iboland. I don't know of anything ibos will not do for money, human sacrifice, carrying drugs to places with death penalty, selling their parents and children or buying babies from factories, importing toxic waste to their own villages, using hiv needles in their chemist, importing fake rice and including using their own live body parts as sacrifice! Ibos are the worst tribe in African, not just Nigeria! 2 Likes |
