LOL! Most of them are lies jor. Bear in mind that Igbo has intonation for different words, as a particular word can have several meanings..

For example, ike can mean power, or nyansh grin

And some of the names are not to be taken literally too.

They no complete na. What about:
Obiageri- Person wey come go chop.
Ukamaka- Church too fine.
Nkemjika- The one wey I hold plenty pass.
Anyaneleuwa- The eye wey de watch de world.
Obianujuaku- Person wey dey come wen wealth too much
Nkeiruka- The one wey dey front big pass


And soon many more. But if I translate some Yoruba n Hausa Names, u go jump fence. Example;
Omuwumi - Person wey come from Marine World.
Ahmadu- Person wey too dey chop tuwo
Obasanjo- Confirm wo-wo pikin
Banbagida- Trouble Instigator


Abi make I continue??
