@OP OKOLO is a name common to the Igalas or igala-igbo border areas. The Igbos bear Okoro while the Igalas bear Okolo, both names are the same but one was corrupted by the borrowee tribe. Originally an Igala name i think.

Guy go siddon

RedboneSmith:


The Igbo bear both Okolo and Okoro depending on the dialect. I didn't even know the Igalas use it until now. But if there was a borrowing, the Igbos were definitely not the ones who did the borrowing.

Okolo/Okoro has a definite meaning in Igbo. It means 'young man'. There is no other word for young man in Igbo that I know. What does Okolo mean in Igala?

Actually i dn't know what Okolo means in Igala. Okolobia means youngman in Igala though. Okolo is a common Igala name. My cousin's surname is Okolo and dey are not even close to the igbo border areas.

They are not Nigerians, after all, they were born and brought up in America.

Yes, born and raised in the US, with Nigerian roots. They didn't throw away their names as you can see, they can trace their roots. Don't be surprised if they attend Nigerian meetings and are members of Nigerian associations in the US

Interesting. But I am not surprised as I already knew about this.

Igbo people also use Okolobia/Okorobia to mean young man. It's either you say Okolo/Okoro or you say Okolobia/Okorobia. Young woman is Agbogho or Agboghobia. Notice the similar format with 'bia'. I'll like to know what you guys call young woman in Igala.

Okolo/Okoro as a name is so deeply entrenched in Igbo naming culture that it has several derivatives apart from just plain Okolo.

Nwokolo/Nwokoro = son of the youth.

Okoroafor = young man born on Afor day.

Okorocha = Light-skinned young man.

Okolobu = young man born in his father's reception hall (obu/obu)

Etc.

don't blame them , who want to represents a country that don't have basic infrastructures like electricity and portable water , Nigeria is just noise

Shym3xx:


But Igala founded Nri and a lot of the Eboes from Anambra are actually of Igala descent e.g Odenigbo Aroli lol.

And since you lot are at loggerheads - you might as well slice the chic into two, with Eboe taking one half, while Igala can get the other half lol.

Deal or no deal?

LMAO...Nigga, I thought you are through with this shit. Nri has no record of a dead Igala language.However,we have always been good neighbors. I double dare you to point out an Igala or Igbo out when they sit together. Igala are very cool and we love them.

fippycbk:


First the Binis claimed the name, then the Urhobos and now Igala. Na to do research sure pass for this name.

Okolo is an idoma name... The popular Gospel singer Steve crown is idoma by tribe... And his full name is Steve Okolo.

Looool.

Was Eri the founder of Nri not one of Igala's Onoja princes? Lol. Heck, there are even Igbos who bear the name "Onoja" today and the name is an ancient Yoruboid name acquired into Igbo via Igala. Ditto Olisa.

You lot can rewrite history all you want, but Nri was Igala lol.

Na igbo name joor. Igbos bear okolo too

Okolo is definitely Igbo. My flatmate is an Okolo and she is 103% Igbo.

The traditional ruler of Anyigba town in dekina lga of kogi state, an Igala man bears Shaibu Okolo (Ogohi 1 of Anyigba). Is he an Igbo? What's your point? The owner of the name could be Igala of Igbo as far as I care. Maybe even Idoma.
