Which Tribe Has The Strongest/funniest Names by fero007: 2:33pm On Mar 02, 2019
Not writing to mock anyone or tribe, of course any name given by your parents is beautiful and most of them have wonderful n divine meanings, but you must admit many of them are hilarious to hear especially by outsiders, I'm looking at nigerian native names and asking which tribe has the "most powerful" names(lol). I listed the ones I feel take it but u can contribute the ones you know.
The nominees are:

Edo - I remember one Ehingwawuanghuan Irebhosenobulua from primary school, one of my neighbors is Aigbhovuleghe Imonikheyeleh. I hail o

Urhobo/Isoko- Some of their names need strength to call, Chief Dr. Osonobrhuvwenyerhovwoh Akpogheneriomiehmieh, Zesus! Even some of their English names are funny, Survive Umuokoro, Highway
Utuama

Ijaw- I wonder how they write "Ebitamaraseiyeifah Akpotuboekilebitamarau" on an ID card, na wa, and like urhobo they use to have funny english names, Current Tamunoforiyeh, Market Akpoebi

Efik/Ibibio- the chinese of nigeria, the language as strong as their names, Eminiabasieniacot Ikotobongitoroabasi, it's enough to bleed your tongue but they call it with ease like saying ABC.

Like I said if you know any other tribe with stronger names(cuz I know the northern tribes have powerful names too) mention them with examples if possible

After getting to know more about the language, I discovered that the languages in akwa/cross are not as hard as we think they are, it's cuz they rush wen speaking it dats why it seems hard, it's actually even easier to learn than edo

They need to learn how to short their name like Yorubas

Yoruba - jesutosinloluwa shorten to Tosin

Likewise Osonobrhuvwenyerhovwoh can be shortened to Osono or Yerhov smiley
