There is one singer called Waje. I don't know if you know her. Is she Itsekiri too?

waje's full name: Aituaje Iruobe
I think that's where she shortened. it to waje

According to my own understanding Aituaje suppose mean(we nor fit get second chance to spend our wealth)

I know someone bearing ojobon, in urhobo it means Edeki

why Me kpe ki means "I go market"

I repeat, 'Otofe' is a praise name used only to greet a married woman in Anioma, and it means 'ote ofe' or 'cooker of soup'. (The Anioma love soup so much, and cherish a woman who can cook it.)

The reason the 'e' in 'ote ofe' becomes swallowed when written is that the Igbo linguistic principle of Olilo Udaume is applied. It is like greeting someone with the words, 'Chairman!'

The greeting for married men is 'Ejeh'.

hmm good to know

greeting for elderly men is ajeh not ejeh

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:
it's actually udó, the verb phrase meaning to draw, which can be a noun phrase representing rope. udó(to draw [out]) idó(drawing [out]) -continuos tense

Do = Draw
Ido = To draw
Odo = One who draws

Udo = Peace
Udo can also mean rope (noun). Udo however does not mean, To Draw. Udo is not a verb

Yeah! Names like 'Fineboy' and 'Finegirl' are quite common, whether they live up to their names is a different matter.

In Ahoada West, I think there are three main languages, Ogbogolo, Engenni (Edoid language) and Ekpeye (Igboid).
