Hi, i just want to say- i jealous u guys that can speak igbo. (Laughs). Don't mind me o jare, can someone kindly tell me the meaning of my user name- OWENIWE, ISHICHELI, EBIGIDE and ANINE?

what about ISHICHELI? I forgot to add that one. Thanks

Oweniwe, as you know, there are many dialects within Ndigbo. There are some names my people bear which only those from Isinweke will understand. For example, Nwoyokoruwa, Akamanughi, Ojahia, Ukworu etc. There is a Delta Igbo guy from Ukwuani who am sure will know better. His username is Paddy lo. Heis a very proud Igbo and use to contribute in the Igbo trade. But sice January I have not been seeing his post.

Stumbled on this thread and the name[b] 'Ejitu'[/b] appears to be an enigma. Have taken pain to go through the thread from the very beginning.

I have a little twist to the meaning of that name. I think its technical spelling is 'Ejitugh', just like 'Ikwuechegh', which is usually spelt without the last two letters. Ejitugh means, 'cannot be held down, suppressed, stopped, etc.

Hope this helps.
