They should be called enugans

Skyfornia:


Must it be English? What if ndi Enugu refused to be oyibonized?? Enugu is an ancient city rooted in Igbo cultures and traditions..we don't want to be recolonised mentally like you are doing now. We remain 'wawa' or Ndi Enugu

You're drifting.. I'm only Concerned about new word formation from a word. Besides Enugu is no where even more igbo than the other igbo states I listed

Also the word Enugu itself has been oyobonized.. It should be Enugwu for top of mountain and not Enugu, so get it straight away

Not all the people in Ondo state are From the kingdom

Ondo west, Ondo East, some towns in Odigbo local government are Ondo Kingdom

seanwilliam:

This makes more sense than any other suggestion I have seen

Yeah, that's what I said.

Someone from Enugu should be called "Enu gbun" it can also be extend with "Idi wo"
Together, "Enu gbun, idi wo"

But that's the truth.. The guy is claiming he doesn't want it to be oyibonized whereas Enugu itself is an oyibonized word.. Enugwu should be the right thing according to his thinking

Ikennamurphy:

I'm not talking about a different name just as onitsha people are just ndi otu.. I mean a name derived from Enugu itself

I haven't really heard about Enugus though

Onye Enugu....singular
Ndi Enugu .....plural

KosiGee:


Onye Enugu....singular
Ndi Enugu .....plural

Let me school u a little
Someone/people from Abia can be called onye/ndị Abia... Yet can also answer Abian/Abians.. So give me equivalent of Abians for people from Enugu

School me?? Where’s the schooling?
For your information...
Ponder over these...

People from the following places are called...

England...English
Scotland....Scottish or Scots/man/woman
Uzbekistan...Uzbek or Uzbekistani
Iran is Iranian while Iraq is Iraqi
Kiribati...I-Kiribati not Kiribatian
Vanuatu is called Ni-Vanuatu

Liverpool...people are called Liverpulilean or Scouser

Demonyms which refer names given to people from a particular place must not necessarily follow a particular pattern like...ian as in Nigerian or ean seen in Chilean.

As a young boy, Anambra people were referred to as Ndi Agbaenu while Enugu people were referred to as Ndi Wawa..

Anambrarian sounds very silly, unintelligent and boring.
I have always seen myself as Onye Anambra cos that’s my ancestral home but I’m also Onye Enugu because I grew up in coal city.

042 is just a swag name which started few years ago due to the phone code...042-331234 phone numbers while Onitsha is 046-123456.

Onye Anambra anyday, any time.

Btw, what will you call someone from Borno state or Abuja?

Depressed101:
NWA 042

Before the 042 code, Enugu minus Nsukka people were referred to as Wawa.

Anambra....Agbaenu

It appears that the guy is just joking around and he is looking for people that will joke with him. The demonym for Enugu is Ndi Enugu, but he's still looking for another thing.
