Well done sister.
Okwa = goose (bush foul)
Okwa as in okwa oji = wooden plate with cover for servicing kola nut
Okwa as in Eze Okwa = a dreaded masquerade in some localities in Imo State

However, NDOKWA is a combination of two words - NDI and OKWA. Ndi means people. Okwa means oldest person in a family/kindred/town/community. ND'OKWA means "THE OLDEST PEOPLE".

Addendum:
OGAZI mara mma, ma adighi eji ya were na atu-aja. Guinea Foul is a beautiful bird but it is never used for sacrifice.
Ona adi mma ka OKUKO lewe ka esi abo OKWA, maka ofu ubochi otua ka aga eji wee boo ya. It is good for the foul to observe how the goose is being slaughtered because someday it will be slaughtered in like manner.

Hallelujah! the NDOKWAS, UKWANIS or ANIOCHAS are not Igbos. But how on earth did they allow Igbos to have so much dominance on their language, culture, etc?


But for the Igbos, this thread would have gone down the drain. Please show a little gratitude. Onye na amaghi onye ka ya, eto be yi!

Well,whats the meaning of "Ndokwa" ?because i can easily say: Ndokwa is derived from two words Nde...people of and ukwani hence, Ndokwa means Ukwani people not igbo people or okwa. Kwa in ukwani means construct, like kwa ezuku which means construct road! My question is that where is the origin of igbo , before igbo have settlement as various city does he met some forks? Is every tribe in eastern Niagerian Igbos? The political stand of Nigeria has tells me that every body is on his own to avoid fraud and cheating, In Nigeria today you can answer your grandfather name or your direct fathers name. Deutsch and Dutch are very similar language even in culture but different country. My igbo brothers, today's life proof that kwale is on his own to avoid inferior igbo and superior igbo. I am from kwale, ukwani man and we have what it takes to be a nation without igbos whether they like it or not! The days of ignorant has past and Nigeria still remains one Nation. Call it dialect or language, In my secondary school, I wrote ukwani as one of my subject, as long as Nigeria is concern .....Ukwani is a language. Though we shares things in common but we have boundary !
