Re: Igbo Names & Their Meanings by Nobody: 1:30am On Aug 24, 2007 |
@PTH When asking for Rivers state names, you need to also include what ethnic group. There are Igbos in Rivers State as well as Ijaws and Ikwerres. So do not act amazed that you're given an Igbo name when you asked for a Rivers name. The former Rivers State House of Assembly speaker is named Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, I suppose this Chibuike is Rivers and also Igbo. This is just for the records. |
