Do not follow some of these online dictionaries because they can be highly misleading as regard translations.

Besides,there are synonyms for a word in Yoruba language.This is the reason dialectial effects does not count most often because Yoruba language were and are encoded in Ifáodu from one town to another,which makes synonymous words easily exists without people being lost whenever certain issue as this occurs.

Precisely, Jẹ́jẹ́ is a name of mine, which was my grandfather's birth name as well.The name is borne out calmness of a child at birth.The meaning of Jẹ́jẹ́ is Gentle and not Gentleman.

Cheers

AreaFada2:
Efewestern, Edema is also a bona fide Edo name. It may not be popular now that 90% of kids names now have "God" as the subject with the spread of Pentecostalism.

Edema means "things are good" but literally "the day is good". Nothing to do with gentleman or whatever in the Edo context.

I don't want to go into this old discussion. All the names in the list are common names in my part of Edo State. Not Akoko Edo but a part of modern Benin Kingdom.

People need to travel and read a bit more before exuding so much confidence and spew whatever they like.

Of course I know what starch is, but that's alien to her culture.

She didn't need any education to understand cyanide poisoning.

It's true that some cassava species contain cyanogenic glycosides, which can result in fatal cyanide poisoning if not properly detoxified by soaking, drying, and scraping before being consumed.
She thought it's the starch that's poisonous.

Wait let me tell you what you don't know. I may have made a mistake quoting you. You don't sound learned in this discourse.

He is my brother. I am closest to him. I am not the type of adult that sits around doing nothing when things are going out of hand. I am very much responsible in his life because he is my brother. Get it?

When more than half of your Brian cell thinks about sex always, this should be the situation you find yourself in.

Few weeks without sex and heaven will fall.

Men are busy exploring how to go to Mars and Jupiter, my brothers are only interested in sex and food.
Tomorrow they will look for whose head to cut off for money ritual.

Well, the population from the SE could support? Don't you think?

I like your submission, matured and presented in a simple, yet logical way.

What are the main indigenous population concentration in Urhobo land? Apart from Ughelli and Abraka (because of the university). Oghara is a small village glorified into a town by Ibori. Developments are mostly along the side of those roads that leads to the LG office and the Naval base towards the Petroleum University.

Jesse is not a town, neither is Mosogar. Sapele (I hope the Okpe are not still forming to be a separate ethnic group) is the only legit small town but they do not have indigenous population that much, if we assume that the whole town will away towards an Urhobo candidate.
You may stand a better chance if Isoko have your back but still....you know the deal with your Isoko brothers.

Ekealterego:
Anioma as a group is larger than Urhobo. They just need a support from Igbos in neighbouring Onitsha and Imo or even Rivers state and maybe small alliance from one small group in Delta to seal the deal. Heaven will not fall.

...

We have how many universities in this Nigeria? Thousands of professors?
What have we built?

We as a nation must realign our priorities. What is the essence of having many universities and churn out “useless” graduates? We have too many quacks running around our national management. They have PhD but they can’t produce a match stick.

If not for Oil, the Niger Delta would have been the most backward geopolitical region in the South with the kin senseless leaders wey dem dey get.

If is the South West that have the kind of oil located in the South South, we will be competing with South Africa in terms of infrastructure.

Other kings have no history, all of them are less than 100years. Olu of Warri has record stretching back 700 years. There are historical records with monarchies of Portugal and England.

His Royal Majesty Ovie Richard Layeguen ogbon (JP) phD,RC,OON,Ogoni-Oghoro1,Ohworode of Olomu Kingdom was born early in 1917,to the Ogbon family of Olomu Kingdom,one of the Urhobo Kingdom in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta state,Nigeria. He survived the great influenza of 1918 which destroyed many young lives in Urhobo land and around the world. Growing up as a young brilliant energetic son of the land, he built his career in teaching,serving as headmaster of schools and as an inspector of schools.

As part of his pioneer achievements,he served as a servant and leader throughout his youth,championed community development and empowerment programme through the establishment of Okurame Farmer's Multi-purpose co-operative society in 1978 and founded patriotic Movement (O.P.M) in the 1950s,which later became "Olomu Kugbere Union and Olomu Union between 1970 and 1980s.

Due to his uncommon patriotism, unparalleled humanity and Sterling leadership qualities which is epitome worthy of traits,he became the "Ohworode" of Olomu,taken over from his predecessor,the Great Ovedje,son of Osadjere of Ovwor in 1988 till date.

As a custodian of culture and tradition,the Ohworode has played a significant roles in the promotion of harmony among the Olomu Kingdom,the Urhobo nation, Deltans and Nigeria in general. Also,being the chairman of Urhobo Traditional Rulers,His Majesty has contributed immensely to the social- cultural cooperation,communal living and peaceful co-existence among the Urhobo and other ethnic groups in our dear state of Delta.

The first class king who is currently 104 years old is the oldest serving monarch in Nigeria and arguably one of the oldest in the world, having being the oldest among queen Elizabeth of England born 21 April 1926, King Abdul Halim, supreme head of state of Malaysia and sultan of Kedah born 28 November 1927, King Bhumibol Adulyady of Thialand born 5 December 1927,Emir Sabah Al-Almad of Kuwait born 16 June 1929 and Sultan Ahmad Shah of Pahang state, Malaysia born 24 October 1930.
