What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by henry101(m): 6:46am On Jul 14, 2011 |
Go find the meaning and check if it makes sense. Ignorance is no excuse and the word is used carelessly on NL. Please you all be cautious with the words you use. |

lol!! From what I heard, it means nothing but an insult ode (Yoruba for a dunce) chukwu (Chukwu comes with many igbo names I guess) It's funny though and I expect people to just laugh at it, Yaradul, Yaraslow , I'm guessing Yoruba people's bad mouth at work lol, Yara dull means quick to be dull and yara slow means quick to be slow lol!!!! Mehn it happens worldwide. People having insulting names for their presidents, Bush is actually the funniest I know of lol!!! Obomber, Barrack Osama etc, |

@ Poster, Ask Dayokanu. He will give you the detailed meaning. |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by blacklion(m): 9:18am On Jul 14, 2011 |
I guess then its in the same league as 'Igbochukwu' for OBJ and 'nyanwu-nyanwu' for Igbo people in general etc. Yet some of our Yoruba brethren who take especial delight in stereotyping and mocking other ethnic groups (surprisingly?) prove to have very thin skins when their names/language/culture are at the receiving end Na wa for naija pipul - dish out what you can't take |

9jaganja: Haba |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by ektbear: 9:37am On Jul 14, 2011 |
Eh. Ode Mallam would refer to a dumb northerner, since mallam references a northerner when southern folk say it. Despite Mallam probably not meaning "northerner" in Hausa. And Chukwu in this context refers to Igbo. So it is a bit silly to think it means "dumb god." Chukwu might mean God in Igbo, but when Yoruba say it references Igbo (just like mallam references hausa.) Yoruba name for god is not chukwu. |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by russellino: 10:00am On Jul 14, 2011 |
ekt_bear: Mallam refers to a person, Chukwu refers to God. Imagine someone who doesnt putting understand Yoruba joining Ode and Oluwa to form a word or reference. Really nasty and ignorant stuff if you ask me. |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by Nobody: 10:06am On Jul 14, 2011 |
russellino: Odeoluwa will be funny as hell too dude!! Olumumu or Adeyeye will be sick names to insult some1 with lol!!! |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by russellino: 10:07am On Jul 14, 2011 |
9jaganja: Yeepa ! i cant read anymore. Outta here!!!! |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by ektbear: 10:15am On Jul 14, 2011 |
russellino: Chukwu refers to god in Igbo, but not in Yoruba. Olorun, Oluwa, etc are what you will call God in Yoruba. "Ode Chukwu" is a Yoruba slang/expression. So in that particular context, chukwu does not mean "god" (as it does in Igbo), but to an Igbo person. It is only nasty and ignorant if you (A) don't recognize that chukwu doesn't have any religious meaning in Yoruba (B) or do not recognize that it is purely a Yoruba slang. |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by russellino: 10:47am On Jul 14, 2011 |
ekt_bear: I think we are saying the same thing. My question is wouldnt you find it ignorant and nasty if someone said ''wawa'' (foolish person in hausa) and joined it to oluwa to form a slang? |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by ektbear: 10:52am On Jul 14, 2011 |
russellino: If he is using "Oluwa" to reference God, then in the worst case he is bringing down a curse on himself, not me. So why would I care? If "oluwa" in his slang is a reference to Yoruba people because many Yoruba have the word "oluwa" in their names, then in that case it is a fairly innocuous jibe against Yoruba people. And in that case I also don't care. |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by russellino: 10:54am On Jul 14, 2011 |
ekt_bear: I'm glad you got the point |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by Nobody: 11:08am On Jul 14, 2011 |
Okay maybe odechuku is better just like Ojuku . |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by mithel(m): 11:16am On Jul 14, 2011 |
And oluwa doesnt mean God too,it could mean lord too,(lyk in d court). Dats d beauty of yoruba language |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by russellino: 11:29am On Jul 14, 2011 |
mithel: Tell me something. Thats new to me. What about Olorun? |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by Rhino5dm: 11:42am On Jul 14, 2011 |
Does the OP asking the meaning of Odechukwu in IGBO or how it has been used here on NL? Cos ode is YORUBA word and should NOT be use to form any sentence in IGBO imo. That said. But ODECHUKWU RETARDEEN ADEMUMU aka THE DRUNKEN FISHERMAN is no other person than GOODLUCK EBELELI JONATHAN the first Nigerian president with lowest IQ who made ABACHA to look like Albert Einsten. lol. If you have any problem with the above, then please let me read your suicide note this night. . |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by russellino: 11:51am On Jul 14, 2011 |
Rhino.5dm: lol at the bolded |

udezue: So former Nigerian coach Christian Chukwu means Christian God |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by KnowAll(m): 1:19pm On Jul 14, 2011 |
it is a blasphemous word. so people be careful who you are making fun off. You Might be sinning against the almighty God. Anyone that sin's against the holy spirit would not be forgiven |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by aljharem3: 1:20pm On Jul 14, 2011 |
@op i think it is a terrible slogan that should be stopped but then again as ekt-bear said it is a yoruba word just like nwoke in yoruba means something while in igbo means man-lover man/something like that but all in all it should be stopped and there person should be banned it is destroying our nigerian culture |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by Obiagu1(m): 1:21pm On Jul 14, 2011 |
Second commandment warns: Thou shall not use the name of the lord in vain. It's only a f.o.o.l that will keep saying Odechukwu (Dumb God) without finding a replacement for it if they must use the word "ode". |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by ektbear: 1:28pm On Jul 14, 2011 |
Again, chukwu doesn't mean "god" in Yoruba. That the Igbo man calls his god chukwu is fine and dandy, but also irrelevant. Chukwu refers to igbo people in this context. So there is nothing blasphemous about saying ode chukwu, unless you are an Igbo speaker or something |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by Obiagu1(m): 1:32pm On Jul 14, 2011 |
ekt_bear: Don't claim ignorant, you dunce! Chukwu has just one meaning in this world and that is "the Almighty God". If you like claim "God" means nothing in Yoruba language and that "God" refers to the English people so "OdeGod" should be fine. When people are laying foundation for disaster in lives sometimes they don't realise it. |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by ektbear: 1:35pm On Jul 14, 2011 |
Nobody is under any obligation to use the same words that you do, or give the same meaning to them. That chukwu means god in Igbo doesn't mean it will mean the same thing when others say it. If you have a problem with this, go find a bridge to jump off of. |
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Ode Chukwu? by Nobody: 1:36pm On Jul 14, 2011 |
Igbo in yoruba means marijuana. . .so you can never tell if chuku has another meaning somewhere ! |
