It depends on the context. I bu onye Agbaja means you are from Agbaja in Kogi state. It could be derogatory. The body language and context should reveal the users' intention.

what is the meaning of the following words in Igbo language?
1. Akali (Akọlị)
2. Ihitte (Ifitte)
3. Obo (Ubo)
4. Mpam (Mpama)
These words form part of many Igbo People's or place's names but they are not commonly used in everyday speech today.
Please expert Igbo speakers especially those with knowledge of the archaic Igbo should help out.

Abua/ Odua L.G.A. belong to the Abua/ Odua ethnic group or Abua and Odua ethnic groups.

No. Ogu/ Bolo is considered to be Okrika, an Ijoid ethnic group related to the Kalabari. However, many people from Ogu / Bolo trace their ancestry to the Igbo people. And the Igbo language is widely spoken in Ogu / Bolo. So they are considered by many to be Igborized Ijaws, or maybe Ijorized Igbos.
