Guys, Guys....
Both are correct depending on the region.

"Oko" and "Uko" can both have up to three meanings each, depending on the punctuation.

Ókó = itch (some region)
Úkó = itch (some region)
Ùkò = wooden plate
Ùko = Native grill

very true true.

Mbediogu:


OK but I was at UI. What Yoruba name sounds similar to that?
What matters most is the real meaning to the owners of the language not how outsiders like us on Nairaland understand it. If Olaniyi was the have the same igbo meaning to Yoruba's am sure they won't bear it.
I shout out to my great Yoruba friends wherever they may be !

But it's actually "Ola ni iyi", they are 3 different words,
Not olaniyi,, , but when you keep saying it everytime it becomes olaniyi

chigoeze:
yemisi.. Yoruba name which means give me head in Igbo
Ramotu... Yoruba name which means f**k my pu**y

Na only the bad ones you sabi. Chai!

igboamakaaa:

Lemme put it in the Igbo text
O la so ofu nwa
He f***ed only one child

more like he fcked only one pussy

AroOkigbo:

You are wrong
It's "Oko"

Yup, with the punctuations that it goes along with = ọkọ

Thank you for the information

Ndi Ndi is collective word for group of people, it's always followed by group of people. it can also be ''The''

Ndi Igbo,= Igbo people

Ndi Calabar = Calabar people
Ndi Ocha = white people
Ndi a = these people
Ndi ahu= those people
Ndi ara= Mad people
Ndi mmuo= spirits
Ndi mmehe= sinners
Ndi eke = slang for Police

EzePromoe:
The Olaniyi name kind of cracks me up.
One word but two opposite meanings.
BTW It's Olanihi in Igbo and it means 'the destroyer'

Meanwhile let me add;

Ogbo means Sponge (Igbo) and Monkey (Yoruba)
Obo means Retaliation (Igbo) and Female (Yoruba)
Oba means barn (Igbo) and King (Yoruba)

Obo means in female in Yoruba? You're funny.

ollaxworld:


Thank you for that.

What is Ndi in Igbo?

gboo - ancient/early
ndi - people

Anambra where am from use ife, ihe is by Imo and Abia

Ihiala, Uli and Amorka area use 'ihe'.Even parts of Enugu. Central Igbo doesn't know Anambra, Imo or Abia.

Dmec:
Ezimorah is not an Igbo name.
The name Ezimorah can be a name Ezi (abbreviation of "EZINNE"and a surname (Morah).

u should analyze it as
"Ezim..." which means "I show" or "To show " "orah" means " the public" or "public" ; so, the name is pure Igbo.

Franking:

Ihiala, Uli and Amorka area use 'ihe'.Even parts of Enugu. Central Igbo doesn't know Anambra, Imo or Abia.

Those are border areas with Imo North. Their dialects tend to be more centralized and carry features of 'anambra' and 'imo' Igbo.
