“OLA, which means “wealth,” “honour,” and “respect” in Yoruba, and “rise” and “success” in Arabic, was chosen to symbolize the dynamic and energetic nature of African football. “Embodying the spirit of Africa, Ola’s design is inspired by the continent’s vibrant colours, art, and traditions.” Awesome!! Most people will now understand why there is OLA in most Yoruba names including the name of our president, HE Asiwaju B OLA Ahmed Tinubu. Ola is the aspiration of everyone in life.

Mariangeles: “OLA, which means “wealth,” “honour,” and “respect” in Yoruba, and “rise” and “success” in Arabic, was chosen to symbolize the dynamic and energetic nature of African football. Just so you know, this is the context, the reference point, and what this story is about, it has nothing to do with any igbo word or meaning. 144 Likes 12 Shares |

EtinosaDLaw: To start with, the story is in plain English and self-explanatory, it has nothing to do with Igbo language or meaning, but as usual, it's impossible to post anything on this forum without injecting igbo into the conversation or turning it into igbo this and that. If you are looking for a tribalist, look in the mirror. 113 Likes 10 Shares |

Ofunaofu: Well, it's irrelevant what it means in their language or anything igbo as far as this topic is concerned, this is about Yoruba people, Yoruba language, CAF and Ola. 82 Likes 6 Shares |

idealogical:Passive aggressive tribalist talking ..OP was actually pointing that ola means jewel in their language…an open-minded person would like to know if ola means something else in Tiv, Efik, Ibibio, Fulani… but no, you doubled down on your cultural ediocy and insular mentality. This is 2024…a closeted bigot is like a citizen of North Korea. 22 Likes 1 Share |

BigIyanga: Passive aggression is derailing the topic by injecting irrelevant and unrelated references into the topic, the story has nothing to do with Igbo names or meanings or whatever translation you have for Igbo words. The topic is not about what Ola means in Tiv, Efik, Ibibio, and Fulani. Always resist the urge to turn everything into igbo this and that, that's bigotry. 33 Likes 2 Shares |

idealogical:But in the OP, it mentions that Ola has an Arabic meaning too?? Did you have any problems with that? I would like to know if Ola ‘means’ something in Swahili too 7 Likes |

BigIyanga: So, you read the story and found out that it referenced Yoruba and Arabic and not igbo or Swahili, but you still want to turn the thread into igbo names and meanings? When we seek knowledge, we ask Google, we don't go around derailing topics for tribal and bigoted reasons. The topic is CAF Adopts Nigerian Name ‘ola’ For New Interclub Match Ball, not the meaning of igbo names or Swahili. 26 Likes 4 Shares |
