Someone is coming to drop one lamba against the word OLA now

Make I see your face, e be like say u have tribal marks

BigIyanga:

Passive aggressive tribalist talking ..OP was actually pointing that ola means jewel in their language…an open-minded person would like to know if ola means something else in Tiv, Efik, Ibibio, Fulani… but no, you doubled down on your cultural ediocy and insular mentality. This is 2024…a closeted bigot is like a citizen of North Korea.

What if the name means something bad in those languages you mentioned, are we still going to be cool with it??

Op.. Have you heard of OLACHI before??

Ola means Fire in idoma

Who cares what the useless institution does

IN IGBO IT MEANS "ONE WHO bleeps"

Bọla, Fashola, Ariwo - ola, Oyinlola,

They can name the next one "EBUN"

FreeStuffsNG:
“OLA, which means “wealth,” “honour,” and “respect” in Yoruba, was chosen to symbolize the dynamic and energetic nature of African football.

“Embodying the spirit of Africa, Ola’s design is inspired by the continent’s vibrant colours, art, and traditions.”

Awesome!! Most people will now understand why there is OLA in most Yoruba names including the name of our president, HE Asiwaju B OLA Ahmed Tinubu.

Ola is the aspiration of everyone in life.

God bless Ile kaaro ojiire and the Federal Republic of Nigeria ! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Remove that arabic whatever.

This is a foolish thing to come up with.....


We know them alternatively as "SUPER EAGLES" Bring OLA into it and giving a Yoruba and Arabic meaning to it breathes tribalism and I will love to stop giving my support to it.

Does your brain serve you well?

Everyone speaking against bad policies in Nigeria is Igbo while everyone supporting Tinubu is Yoruba or Hausa...

You're a child!

My thoughts exactly. When I saw the post, I was like o really, I was trying to link the meani f Ola in both Nigerian languages to see areas of similarities, and wondering what other words we share in common, tribalists no go just let us enjoy this forum in peace.

To start with, the story is in plain English and self-explanatory, it has nothing to do with Igbo language or meaning, but as usual, it's impossible to post anything on this forum without injecting igbo into the conversation or turning it into igbo this and that.

If you are looking for a tribalist, look in the mirror.

why not find out the meaning of OLA in igbo

Mariangeles:
Just so you know, Ola also means jewel in Igbo language. 💎

Ohh really, first time hearing this.

The name is truly a beautiful one

Deogratiasfx:
Ola means Fire in idoma

Stuffs that are just okay to post in response to the post, creating an opportunity to learn, but no, tribalists won't have it! And possibly no one can attack this poster because it is not Igbo. Who do us?

Mariangeles:

Just so u know, Ola in igbo was not given any reference in the post

Oya all the OLA in the house say yeah yeah

Before you put tribal colouration to it, have you asked yourself what or where is the source of the report?

I'm yet to see any official source!

Mariangeles:

But why is olaniyi laughed at by igbos. What does it mean?

Deogratiasfx:
Ola means Fire in idoma

The post only mentioned ola in Yoruba and Arabic. Caf doesn't care wat tribe bears idoma.

Awon werey too dey copy Yoruba for everything...

Remind me of the 2010 South Africa World Cup. The Ball was named Jabulani. A fantastic high flying ball that most player complained about except Diego Forlan of Uruguay

Just so you know, this is the context, the reference point, and what this story is about, it has nothing to do with any igbo word or meaning.

Nairaland I'll forever mount...
There's reply for everything... I sell herbs tho

Ola means many things in, different languages not only Yoruba

Wow,that's interesting!

CAF will pay for using my name.. Yoruba Lagba...
