ibhagbosoria - I did not kill another person's own
Elebesunnu - Did they know what happened?
Aimiugwina - You dont see death and fight it

These esan name are equivalent to parables and always "trip" me, and this esan name makes me laugh "Ikekhuamen"! just as Uhunnamure and Iyekekpolor Edo names also make me laugh too.

I rep Uromi! fully blooded Obhiaba!

I never knew what the name Aimiugwina meant until now, one of my aunts gave me that name due to the history of my birth . I never used the name anyway.

Same here, due to the circumstances of my birth too, prefer the short form Aimiuwu.

Re: Hilarious "ISHAN" Adage And Their Meanings by Ifiegboria(m): 1:18pm On Apr 09, 2016
Sanyem:
Can someone help with the meaning of Osalumese
Osa means God
Lu means to do
Me means me
Ese means gift, favour,etc
Simply Put as God done me well, God has blessed me. God bless me with no strings attached-truely free. Its a nice and popular name in Esan

Please keep this going for the sake of some of us that wants to learn both the Isan language and culture. Thanks

Good afternoon guys. I was wondering through Nairaland and I stumbled on this fantastic thread.

I am from Ekpon in igueben LGA. Though some persons claim am.not Esan, my grandma was from Ewohimi and I learnt a lot from her God bless her soul.

I decided to comment on this thread because someone said Ishan and Esan can be used interchangeably. That I don't believe is true.

Ishan is a currupted pronunciation of the word Esan. Technically speaking there is nothing like Ishan. Just like Enugu is a currupted pronunciation of Enu Ugwu (which means people of the hill). Unfortunately the word Ishan has stuck and refused to leave and like a people who do not know their history, we have accepted the wrong pronunciation of Esan.


Also look into the Ibo and Igbo issues. We just accept these wrong pronunciations without trying to correct it. And after a while it sticks.


The Esan people are very industrious. They are everywhere. I believe they are the second most travelled people in Nigeria after the Ibos.
