'ifesi' and 'ify' are not independent names on their own and they don't hold any real meaning on their own that way. They're shortened form of different names that starts with 'ife-', mostly in Igbo language, there are some Yoruba names too that start like that but I don't know if they're ever shortened to 'ify'.

Amanda is a complete name on its own, it is not a shortened name, it is not an Igbo name. It is totally different. Calling someone whose name is Chimamanda, Amanda, is not shortening their names it is essentially giving them a totally different name because both do not relate to each other, do not have similar origin nor similar meanings.


That's all thr explanation I have, everything is self explanatory. I don't know why anyone is even thinking in that direction.


And finally, my correction is not meant to show that I'm Igbo or that I'm more Igbo than others. There's no need mentioning you are Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba. None of these ethnic groups are averse to knowledge and understanding.

your problem is you compare both names together when you are very aware that you call someone who is named Chimamanda,Amanda.
This should not even be a topic cus a girl I used to data her name is Chimamanda n her parents her friends even me call her Amanda nothing there but I wonder how u deemed it ok to make it an argument it’s like u like arguing

Major7:
Stop spewing trash from your mouth. Tribalism isn't the way forward for us,the likes of you should stop setting us apart in our loving nation.

what’s tribalism in my comment?

henryobinna:
Amanda is a name on its own, Chimamanda is an Igbo name on its own and not an elongated form of Amanda. Don't butcher people's names just to serve whatever purpose you have.

Chimamanda is actually a better name than the Amanda you're trying to pin on her. Her name is not Amanda, there are lots of people who bear Chimamanda.

Chimamanda means 'My God would not fall' or 'My God would not fail'

Changing it to Amanda totally changes the meaning and the significance of the name.

oga wait biko am Igbo too so my son is Ifesinachi if I call him Ifesi or Ify sha I have automatically altered his name?
Abeg free that one

Pakute:
Igbos could reject the award because the man they love to hate but if Buhari was giving out drugs, I bet they won't reject it.

i love your sarcasm.
I’d bet the same if Buhari was to give free mined skulls Afonjas won’t as well miss that init?

Igbo are the only People in Nigeria with a bit sense of justice.
She reminds me of Sir Francis Akanu Ibiam.

NLPoliceWoman:

Rule 2

Abdul05:

I nicknamed you Abdul the cow for a reason

A referendum

AustineE1:
It seems like OYIGBOUPDATE now has a new pay master,from allegedly being a paid state agent for Nigerian secret security services to now posting pictures of the wonderful Ebonyi state.
Anyway,we can celebrate the message and ignore the messenger.
We now live in a time of deception,the elections are close by,both covert and overt operations will come into play.a new Nigeria is possible,we must the back our country, God bless the good people of Nigeria!!!!

it’s Oyibo Ugbo not Oyi Igbo update

The city is fast developing sha

When did Abuja became Ghana?

Meanwhile the fake Giant of Africa is destroying billions worth of cannabis.
Is Nigeria cursed or what?

Let’s assume this is true, is Obi under any obligation to help his father in law complete the building of his house?

NOETHNICITY:
I’m sure this is definitely the handwork of obituary people. Their footprints are everywhere here, they even brag about their intolerance. They did it during endsars. They are doing every Monday in the SE.
But they should be made to understand that no one has the monopoly of violence.

ure sick

What I saw there on way way to Abuja was really really heart breaking, hundreds lost houses and properties seriously

It’s a heart related thing, though it can be hard to dictate but it does give you signs, in the first video he felt it but tried to continue when the ball was coming towards him…
And his friends around didn’t help matters they should have made him lie to his left side instead of his back.
I had to stop soccer and instead do normal running because of heart issues.
RIP to him.

Only a referendum can stop Baifra agitation

TinubuDeDrugLor:
Nonsense. Is it inside the prison he is?

Liars everywhere.

Agitations will be addressed through good governance.

did u even read the post, he said no one can stop Biafra, even you kill Kanu, infact that one isn’t even considerably cus the aftermath will be severe lol

budaatum:
Me and others then. Without you.

You after all do not expect me to exclude you for yourself from all of us others. Or do you?

thank u

budaatum:
You mean you don't believe anything good will come out of Nigerian I and Nigerian you.

I myself have immense unwavering faith that Nigerian you and Nigerian I shall do our best to make good things come out of our Nigeria.

ure a very big full for mentioning Nigeria u and I,
Who and who?

budaatum:
I do not agree "hopefully"! How about?

So God kon kreate Nigerians being like ensef; as God bi, na so E kreate Nigerians; both man and woman, na-im E kreate Nigerians.

God bless Nigeria kon sey, “Make una born many shidren full di eart and na una go kare for evritin! Na una bi oga ova di birds for di sky, di fish dem for sea and evritin wey God kreate.”

We will bake bread with sweat off our brow.

I said hopefully cus I don’t believe anything good will come out of Nigeria

budaatum:
Those who vote in are steering. They at least hire the driver who steers at their pleasure, the last being "the deadly contagious disaster called buhari".

We shall hopefully next time steer our selves towards the less disastrous and towards that which benefits.

hopefully

Abdul05:
Those pictures are fakes....


Evening rally not morning rally check those pics

Abdul the cow

OyigboUpdate:
Ipob killed him. There is a confessional video. U know IPOB are into two fractions already

a confessional video by the killers?
Post the link please

Ndibunna:
Do I look like I have interest in where you come from. An average ebobyian is a sub-human because they don't behave like humans. They were all born and bathed in blood, violent from childhood.

lol u still no be Igbo or will ever be dirty thing
