I hope this D8 meeting is not another plan to Islamize Nigeria. The only that joins Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Pakistan and Turkey with Nigeria is Islam. I can't see another basis for their meeting

My two favorite Anambra Governors, please don't quarrel. You're the best Anambra has ever had since inception.....remember Abulu, Ezeife, Mbadinuju, Ngige.....nothing from them.

You can't add Ngige to that group. He was a real action governor. road builder

OP, ON AKWA IBOM YOU ARE WRONG, AKWA IBOM WAS NAME AFTER GOD(AKWA ABASI IBOM), MEANING GREAT GOD OF THE UNIVERSE, IT IS THE POPULAR CHURCH IN AKWA IBOM(QUA IBOE CHURCH) THAT WAS NAME AFTER QUA IBOE RIVER BECAUSE OF THE STRESS THE MISSIONARIES PASSED THROUGH CROSSING THE RIVER WHILE COMING TO OPEN A CHURCH IN THE COMMUNITY.

Akwa Ibom was named after the river Qua Iboe. The church was also named after the river

Culture / Re: "Amebo" In Nigeria Parlance: Its Origin And Meaning by Orobo2Lekpa: 3:49pm On Oct 11, 2017
Opharhe:
You still don't get it. There is not a direct bearing on the character but I already explained that within Urhobo culture, the name 'Avwebo/Amebo' is normally used to refer to gossips busy bodies or holier-than-thous long before the film was shot. The name was adopted from the already existing cultural background to describe the character who was fond of gossiping In 'The Village Headmaster'.

It may also interest you to know that Justice Esiri, the lead actor in the series is an Urhobo from the popular Esiri family of Abraka.

Lagos before then, already had a sizable Urhobo population visible enough to show some influence.

The name was already in use by a handful of other Nigerians especially in Lagos then before the film was shot, the series only popularised it more.

If you must argue an issue, it must be something you have sufficient amount of information about.
You can go make some real findings about this and what you'll find will not be far from this.

I get it. But you are trying very hard to link to two distinct issues by trying to find a commonality.
I don't know why you brought in Justus Esiri into the equation. The character Amebo was already mature and a household name before Justus Esiri joined the programme in the mid to late 80s.

The program also made the name popular Gorimapa for bald head. Now there is a name called Gorimapa in Yoruba language and someone trying to be clever may find some kind of etymology linking the name to Nupe language and say that is the origin.

Opharhe:
It appears you don't understand the post then. Before the play(which further popularised the name) was broadcasted, the name already existed and had a cultural background which I have exposed in the post. It was from the cultural background that the name was used to give the portrayal in "The Village Headmaster".

That is not correct, what has been described is totally different from the character Amebo played. The historical context you have given really has no bearing on the character

Interesting but not correct.
Amebo was a character in a TV programme from the 1970's called Village Headmaster. She was the village gossip. The character was played by Ibidun Lawson

The word Amebo as used to ascribe to a gossip came from this character in the play
