1. its IGBO and not any other way

2. Literally, 'ORIAKU' in Igbo means 'consumer of wealth'( sorry thats the best i could find in my not too broad vocab)
its one of the most common names the Igbo man calls his wife or more like a name that has almost replaced 'wife'
it actually goes to emphasis the Igbo man's culture of loving his wife and lavishing her with all the good things of life
never mind that some times, certain conditions place some men where they would rather not be but more often that not,
even in life's little uncomfortable crevices The Igbo man loves his wife more than you are comfortable enough to believe.its
more of a culture than any other thing.
