RedboneSmith: One of my seniors in DELSU back then answers this name. It was a rare Igbo name so I asked him one day and he told me the meaning. The irony is that he is a Jehovah's Witness member. I wonder why parents give children names like this. |

RedboneSmith:It's more like "keep eating the sacrifices" "Nsi" here means, Sacrifice and not 'Nsi' (Shit) where the stress is much on the consonant, 's'. Efewestern and Fratermathy Urhobo people tend to bear very funny names whether the name is in English or Urhobo. I've heard names like, 'America', 'Manager', etc Very hilarious. Also, some old Igbo female names in my region can be funny. Like "Uzoaru", (the road to Aro)... ARO was revered as the spiritual capital of some Igbos. Some tend to encourage gold digging.. the women takes pride in their future husband's wealth. May be thats why their men are forced to hustle. Names like, "Oriaku(Diya/jiya)" (One who consumes her husband's wealth) "Oyidiya" (One who resembles/matches/looks like her husband" ![]() "Ugbalu" or "Ogbenyealu" depending on the dialect (one who can't be married to the poor). 5 Likes |

Eke40seven: If we are talking about the worst type of English names, turn your eyes towards Ijaw. Ijaw people dey answer anything, I swear. Urhobo funny English name dey learn for Ijaw one. You see Ijaws answering names like Pepper, Pepple, Goldwater, Heneiken, Wine, etc. These are not even their native names yet o! Urhobos by far dwarf the Ijaws in funny native names though. There is also one funny Igbo name I came across one time but I don't know if I remember it correctly: Azubuike (back is front?). Am I right? 1 Like |
