Gbajabiamila means a different thing in my Ikwerre language.
It means Gbaja scatter
Bia come
Mila and go.
Putting the words together it means
Get things scattered then come and go.
...you see. Ikwerre got it meaning, name is bigger than we think of it, think before naming.

Wow. What a name. I wonder how his ancestor got the name. Maybe he was a very cunning or trickish man.

IT IS STRATEGY FOR WINNING BATTLES WHILE THE ENEMIES ARE MADE TO THINK OTHERWISE.

A family name like this one usually originates from an event, occurrence or something done by someone. Though Gbajabiamila, based on its literal meaning might sound uncomplimentary but don't be surprised if it was used to make a complimentary remark to someone who is extremely loyal that he always take the side of his mentor/master in a dispute whether wrong or right, to the extent that the fight becomes his own.

No, in this case it is more like indirectly taking side rather than mediating.

"Olaja ni fori gbopo" refers to risky implications of trying to mediate a fight ( if I'm not mistaken )
