Was wondering too.

What does it mean anyway? Is it a Nigerian name?

It's a Japanese-Spanish name given to a child whose father's uncle aunty step brother nephew niece sister's brother survived an earthquake in Guyana. Hope u got it

So all you jealous mofos, can't just congratulate this young man? Yall hung up on his Efik Ibibio name. I mean yall trully don't see any big deal in a young man that worked so hard at his craft to get to where he is and is able to interview with BBC? Bad belle people as una dey say. Not one single encouraging comment on this guy. I betcha he is doing better than all you broke mofos. Quit hating and start congratulating mofos. If yall continue like this, yall will never make anything out of yourselves (the haters offcourse), because instead of focusing on getting yours, you are busing wasting valuable energy on hating a successful guy wey no even know whether you exist. You people kill me, acting like it is easy to be granted interview by the British Broadcasting Corporation

bu what does Iyanya...interview assist to help Africa Focus....BBC self sometimes dey make me vex

i've always said this: i wish the e-world was a real world.. some peeps would have been recieving janded slaps. when someone starts making success, some bootlickers would begin to find irrelevant faults. he choosed to answer the name. how does it affects anyyone. thats the same name he used in selling millions... if i were him, i would even change from my real name to Iyanya.. one eediot here is even saying he should have choosed names like dbanj, olamide (iwonder when ffools like you benefit from tribalistic reasoning)... iyanya... ayen eka, ndito akwa ibom edo proud of you... yak me asua eke kpa ke ikot!

Joe50: see ancient oldskul okoro hair style wey him barb... d d tin make him to luk as if he's from village
i just dat kind of hair cut.

low cut is still de best, see dbanj, olamide and so many of dem, even d american musicians dats wat dey cut.

na the same okoro hairstyle dey make ladies cry during his shows. bad belle

I DONT KNOW WHY SOME NIGERIANS CAN BE SO CYNICAL. FOR THE BENEFIT OF THOSE NON- NIGERIANS LIKE "OBADIAH777" NIGERIA IS A MULTI ETHNIC COUNTRY OF OVER 250 LANGUAGES. WE LOVE IT SO MUCH. THATS WHAT MAKES US SHINE OUT IN AFRICA.

SO PLS WE LOVE OUR AFRICAN NAMES. IT SIMPLY CYNICAL TO TELL AN AFRICAN TO GO AND CHANGE HIS NAME, BECAUSE YOU FEEL ITS NOT "HIP" ENOUGH.

THIS IS A NIGERIAN FORUM AND YOU WILL FOREVER SEE NIGERIAN NAMES HERE. SO PLS "OBADIAH" GET USED TO IT. ITS THE HEIGHT OF IGNORANCE TO ASK A NIGERIAN TO GO CHANGE HIS NAME. KEEP YOUR IGNORANCE TO YOURSELF DUDE. DONT SPREAD IT HERE.

obadiah777: WHAT HE NEED TO DO IS GO TO THE REGISTRY AND GET A CHANGE OF NAME FORM AND DO A NAME CHANGE ASAP. THAT WHAT HE NEED TO DO

Pikin de worry yu abi? Swallow a rock if you dun like his native name and stop hating!

[quote author=Orikinla]So being on BBC is a big deal?
I was interviewed on BBC News for over an hour in 2003 as a director and writer and I did not make noise about it.[/quote

God loves yu bro!

obadiah777: YEAH HE NEED A TRIP TO THE REGISTRY ASAP. HOPEFULLY HE GETS A SOLICITOR SO THE NAME CHANGE PROCESS CAN BE FAST-TRACKED IN TIME FOR HIS NEXT CONCERT LWKM YOU NEED STRONG NECK MUSCLES TO BE ABLE TO PRONOUNCE THAT NAME.

I'm trying to pronounce that name, it sounds funny to me

Wow! If fink to be a celebrity dis days all u need is as little talent as possible, example the kardashians, jim Iyke, tonto dikeh, people of jersey shore, snooki n jWoww n nw iyanya. I guess talent aint what it use to be n for looks d dude is 2ft tall.

Yes its a Nigerian name. Inyanya Mbuk is from Akwa ibom state in South-south Nigeria We should commend him for using his Nigerian name as his stage name. It shows that he is a man full of confidence and proud of his heritage.

obadiah777: WHAT THE HECK KINDA NAME IS IYANYA ?

Did u J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ say iyanya has no talent
Then how did he win mtn project fame in the first place. If dbanj and some " so called" super stars where thrown into any of these talent shows (idols, project fame, etc) how many of them would scale pass the 1st round?
FYI, iyanya's vocals is 120% better than that of so many "super stars" (e.g dbanj).
When he tried to compose songs that had meaningful lyrics, we nigerians refused to buy....now he has adapted and is making his money by singing d kind of songs he is singing now...J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ goes to show you how warped music consumers are in dis country.

obadiah777: ALL AM SAYING HUN IS THE MAN NEED A NAME CHANGE. THATS ALL A BROTHER IS SAYING

why would he do that he is proud of his roots not like you that is so fake quoting the bible to suit your selfish interest.

NICE ONE... KEEP IT UP!!!

obadiah777: WHAT THE HECK KINDA NAME IS IYANYA ?

Inik:

...You are a bloody liar. Go back home and do your research well. Iyanyan Mbuk Is from Akamkpa LGA of Cross River State, and not your fantasized Akwa-Ibom state

tellwisdom: imyamyam?? what kind of object is that?

Finally u no wise

obadiah777: WHAT THE HECK KINDA NAME IS IYANYA ?

It means " he is shitting in my language, Xhosa ". I am sure it has a different meaning in his own venecular though

cold:
It's his native name.Surely you can't begrudge a bruva staying true to his roots,would you?

true talk,ur head dy dia jawe.....no mynd dem, bad belles.....
