Relax. Chukwu in the context of this phrase refers to Igbo, not any god or God. That really should be the end of the matter.

I don't know what , mean by contest or trying to teach me my own language.
Nigeria has never used Chukwu as a reference to Ndigbo except Okoro.

As old as I am most Yorubas I had known for more than 30 years still refers me as Omo Okoro, never as Omo Chukwu, (which is quite nice- Son of God) unless your new trend started last night.

That is the wonderful thing about culture and language. It is almost a living organism. Slang and terminology that was not popular 30 years ago or didn't exist 30 years ago can suddenly pop up in a second and become popular.

Buharistan (which I may have been the first to coin on this forum some months back? ) has now spread to other Nigerian forums. Yet didn't exist in the Nigerian context before this year.

And Odechukwu has also spread even more rapidly and widely.

PS: Chukwu in this context is not your culture or language! If someone takes a word from your language and gives it a different meaning, then in that new context it doesn't belong to you. That is part of the point being made repeatedly throughout this thread.

Eziachi:

Why make such a bold statement without checking its accuracy first? Because your statement isn't true at all.  There is no such name in IGBO as Odechukwu unless you are mistaken it for another genuine name which is UDECHUKWU. The word UDE means" Respect or Dignity" depending when/where its used.
Hence names like:
Udenwoke
Udeogalanya
Udenwa
Ude-ego
Udemba
Udenna

There is no single Igbo word as Ode unless found in a sounding mix with other words like Odejimjim (The movers/shakers)

What do we gain in calling people derogatory names, is that the solution to the problems facing Nigeria isn`t that contributing to the problem. By calling President Goodluck, Odechukwu would that bring any positive change to the country. We are better off doing things in our own capacity to make Nigeria a better place, the negative energy we spend belittling others can be used in a more positive way by coming up with ideas on how to move the country forward.  
I believe we Nigerians are the problem of that country, our energy is more geered towards putting each other down instead of up.

Back to the topic, I agree that people come up with new meaning for words every day, but  odechukwu serves no other purpose other than to belittle and insult Mr President and one can also take it as a swipe at Ndigbo. Hate only breeds hate, if we want a better World we should start with self. Before we point fingers, what have we done to make our country better other than insulting and spreading hate.

1. GEJ calling Yoruba people names served what purpose?

2. GEJ inciting tribal sentiments against Yoruba people served what purpose?

3. GEJ insulting, ridiculing and belittling Yoruba people served what purpose?

4. As the president of Nigeria, insulting the people you are elected to serve served what porpose ?


GEJ is a very tribalistic, callous and mean individual and I have zero respect for him. Yes I said it.

na wa o

so u just think u can insult our president and expect people not to talk

may i ask u what did tinubu do duing ikeja cantoment bomb blast? or is tinubu not wicked as well for stealing lagos state to depts and using it to buy bellview among others for himself and his wife remi tinubu

and i am pretty sure tinubu has brought either a private jet or a private helicopter or are u going to deny that as well

yet u open ur loud mouth to talk to our president in sure manner as if he is not better than ur mentor tinubu

GEJ is our president and if u no lik am go hug transformer

@Eko Ile, think positive my brother, calling people names will not make our country better. Gutter language only makes us look bad and backward. Our leaders are a part of us they reflect the community we come from, if we citizens are no better we cant expect them to be.

Yoruba ronu, education is about civility and the way we deal with issues. Be part of the solution not part of the problem. I personally don`t think Goodluck will turn out good, that`s because I see him as one of us your average Nigerian and you are a good example of that. Insulting and hating yet want a better Nigeria. Exhibit that change that u want in your deeds.

Eko ti baje, how we go fix am na him be the issue. We can only start with self. Man in the mirror.

Which person for this world dem no dey call derogatory names is Odechukwu the first person to be called names they coin name for Obama by the minute

Again, send the same message to GEJ himself since insulting and calling people names is his favorite pastime.

To tell you the truth, it makes no difference to me. Dishing out derogatory nicknames to politicians all over the world is not a new thing, even in Nigeria. We called Yaradua all the messed up names in the world and Hausa people didn't blink, ibo people on NL called Awolowo everything under the sun, they labeled him a killer, terrorist and other ridiculous nonsense, but I still don't see Yoruba people crying and yelling all over the place.


What people call their politicians means nothing, we elect them to run the country, not to start losing sleep over some silly nicknames that many don't even know people call them. What's so special, about GEJ that he can not be called names?

Right now, the man in the mirror is not a politician and he's not charged with any political responsibility.


lol @ GEJ like one of us. Abeg stop joking.

lol.

so this shameless people are still crying? Even after seeing the proof that Odechukwu of a name does exist. O really! Trying to pull all spins cos your mooronic Jonathen is called by his first name, . .It sux to be Igbo for real!!

The message has been passed. There's no stopping those who wish to continue to use the word to suit their ego boosting and bloated fantasy.
It sucks to be Igbo. When did it start?

And the internet award for crybabies of the year 2011 goes to. . . . .

IBO PEOPLE, FOR COLLECTIVELY WHINING OVER EVERY LIL BULLSHIYYT THEY THINK REFERS TO THEM AND THEIR ETHNIC GROUP!!!!

Hey gay, I knew your Psycho doc gave you prescriptions,  hmmmmm Full igbo bashing morning afternoon and 3x @ night. Dnt forget your prescriptions please,

ps Igbos dnt whine,  Issues come up everyday and it's discussed. Igbos are very proud and lovely people,  you cant do without them, Can you?
Who was whinning some weeks back? Hope you remember, 

I still believe there's no person called odechukwu in Igbo. The link Alj harem posted was wrong. His name is Prof. Udechukwu Obiora.
It was spelt wrong.

What wont Ibos cry about? Always whining and crying over something or the other. Buncha lil male, punk, biyytches.

So, the Yorubas are obligated to use words in your language in the same context as u?!

Topics like this are how I know I'll always find it hard to not look at an Ibo man without suspicion. . . . very hypocritical beasts. Look at them up in arms trying to defend God's name, meanwhile, theres a video floating around the internet in which a poor necklace thief was brutally burnt to death by no other a group than a bunch of Ibo men!!!! Oh, and while they was roasting this poor dude (probably in hopes of eating him--a la Ibo fashion) a traumatized by-stander could be heard screaming "Jesus" repeatedly. Did the Ibo guys listen to anything remotely close to God's name at that point? No!!! But they wanna come on here, hypocrites that they are, and tell us what they think of jokes others made.

If yall Ibos was truly fearful of God, you woulda put the future of your kids before tribalism and bigotry and U woulda never rigged in GEJ so massively in all Ibo enclaves. Idiotas

You can fuxxck off now!


P.S:OA4MJ, my bad, but these fo*ools just make me so tight with their hypocrisy which just seems to be part of their way of life.

You also tried to link the video of the the burning thief to Igbos.
I know you came out of your psycho clinic today, I know you probably not with your senses too. When did the word ole become an Igbo word, Stop smoking fool, It will worsen your health, You are really sick. very demented individual, Mentally unstable,

These are all typo errors. No Igbo answers odechukwu,

Example of typo error noticed here

At last, organisers of the first ever National Eating Challenge television show in Nigeria, have got a sponsor.

The Source chain of supermarkets, with its headquarters at Kilo, Surulere-Lagos is the first sponsor of the oncoming event. The super mart giant was unveiled in a ceremony held at O’jez Chinese Restaurant in Lagos last week.

Prince C Udechukwu, National Coordinator, National Eating Challenge TV Show in his speech described The Source Super stores as a “great brand” that has an eye for the future with its decision to be part of the history making event. “We are here this morning to unveil our sponsor, The Source chain of supermarkets. It is indeed a memorable day for us, organisers of the first ever National Eating Challenge to proudly announce that a great brand has decided to be part of the great event scheduled to hold this year. For us at Franjus Entertainment Limited, we are really grateful that things are beginning to look up as regards the event and that is why we call on other corporate bodies to emulate this brand and give us full support.”

Eating competitions, he said, “are not popular in this part of the world but it is one sport that has brought fame and fortune to people in other climes. Our mission at Franjus Entertainment Limited is to make popular competitive eating and enrich some lives. I believe you will agree with me that there is nothing really to lose if one eats his way to fame and fortune! However, competitive eating isn’t only like other sports because there’s training involved. There are also rules and judges to make sure competitive eaters abide by them.”

Odechukwu enumerated the objectives of the eating TV show. “Franjus Entertainment Limited is looking for the greatest eater in Nigeria in a nationwide search. Eight winners from the six geo political zones will compete at the grand finale scheduled to hold in Lagos. The eight finalists will be given food options ranging from meat rolls, fufu, eba, pounded yam and semovita, noodles and chicken. All the food would be prepared on stage by standby caterers after the contestants had picked through a lucky dip the kind of food among the options. This way of determining what a contestant eats at the grand finale would create more excitement and tension because for instance, he/she may have wished to eat fufu because it is his favourite, but now, he picks the food choice of noodles. The challenge now, is to consume the large quantity of what he does not really enjoy eating and also to win the competition.

“In 25 minutes, the nation will know if a Nigerian can take down 20 wraps of pounded yam, 30 meat rolls, 5 full chickens, 100 chicken wings and or 20 packs of noodles! Two winners will emerge from each zone.”

  In his address, Chike Durugo, C.E.O of The Source Supermarkets said he was indeed glad to be part of history. “I have been having discussions with the organisers of the National Eating Challenge and I am convinced that this show will make an impact in Nigeria. So, The Source Supermarkets is strongly supporting the event as one of its sponsors.”

The grand finale has been designed as a grand show of music, movie and food, that will feature top comedians such as Ali Baba, Julius Agwu, A Y, Seyi Law, Elenu, Mr. Patrick, MC Shakara, Emeka Smith and music stars Yemi Sax, Digitty Dunhill, O’jez and Alpha Bands and female singing sensation Kefee alongside other artistes that have not been confirmed. They are all billed to perform at the event. Red Carpet begins at 4pm. Artistes begin performance at 7pm and the Eating Challenge begins at 8pm.

“Before I forget, the winner of the challenge will go home with a car and N100, 000 naira cash while the second and third place winners will walk away with N100, 000, a complete HiTV system, N50, 000 and a complete HiTV system”, Odechukwu said adding, “We are currently in talks with prominent fast food outfits, beverages companies, soft drinks companies among others as regards sponsorship. Names would be revealed at the appropriate time.”

The event is supported by HiTV as it media partners while top celebrity magazine Hi Society, is the show’s official print media sponsor. Opa Williams Production House and O’jez Entertainment Limited are partners too.

Peace people,

^ dude what are you unto? Give it rest to put out the fire you kindled. Whatever the name connates in real life, you can't be oblivous of the fact no person using that name here was aiming at degrading God or any deity. You took the meaning "out of context" to protest your love GEJ without minding the combination of people on NL.

Now you should tender apology and bury this furtile pursuit of looking for a scape goat. Let there be peace in the HOUSE. One love!!!

Can you compare Hillary Clinton to your mother?

Very few people can match Hillary's resume, and GEJ isnt one of them.

This is insult

^^kindly stop insulting remi tinubu for no reason.

insult your female family members instead.

blacklion captured it correctly here

blacklion:

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

People are comfortable insulting a male and the president for that matter.

hmm Uba means canoe in some dialect of igbo
yo or yor means beg

yor uba---canoe beggar?, beg for canoe?

Hmmm when i think of canoe i think of water. Maybe yorubas are related to Ijaws and hence Jonathan is a yoruba. So yorubas are now ruling again after 8yrs of OBJ. SEE WAYO DEM WAN PLAY US, WE NO GREE
