What about Onyilo, Onuh, Ochigbo, Ondaje, Otokpa?

Igalas bear most of these names too

Nowadays slay mama and Gen Z father don't see any of these beautiful names to call their children.

Oversabi. That they are both spelt and sound the same, doesn't mean it is Hebrew .
Ada is father
Adam = My father

femi4:
Adam is not one of them

The name Adam derives from Hebrew roots. It means "man," "humanity," or "son of the red earth". It stems from the Hebrew word adamah, meaning "ground" or "earth,"

Love800:
Igbos are indigenous in Benue?

When will you get tired of attache by force?

Ignorance

The meaning doesn't change its origin. It will forever be a borrowed word into your language

froxydydx:
Idomas and Igbos share similarities in names culture, tradition, religion, market days etc. Of the 3 major tribes, Igbos are the closest to the Idoma so any Idomas person hating on the Igbos is ignorant

Idomas have rejected you severally
Why una no dey tire?

Dogalmighty17:
There are Igbo in Benue state in zone C (Ezza and Izzi Igbo communities in Ado, Okpokwu and Oju local government areas). A pretty small number though but they settld in those parts of idomaland long before the coming of the white colonisers. They are effectively stateless as it is. They don't have a voice in Benue state and the Igbo in Ebonyi seem to have nothing but hatred for them.

The earliest maps of Biafra includes what is now called zone C in Benue state as Ojukwu wanted to ensure that the Igbo kith and kin in that part of Benue were not forgotten while at the same time, creating a buffer between Biafra and Northern Nigeria.

This is a key reason why the Nigerian airforce has its largest base in Makurdi, the Tactical Air Command. This is where Nigeria's latest fighter jets are based. The base is close enough to cripple any build up of logistics to sustain any fighting force in Igboland and distant enough from Igboland to avoid capture.

Stop eyeing Benue fertile land.

Idomas have disowned you severally.

The name Adam derives from Hebrew roots. It means "man," "humanity," or "son of the red earth". It stems from the Hebrew word adamah, meaning "ground" or "earth,"

It's my father in Idoma. It's not the way you look at it, and that's because you don't understand the language.

Ada is father. Just like Igbo, when you add M to Ada it becomes my father

Ada..m means my father.

My question to you is.... is your father a woman?

If Adam in Hebrew is man then it's same because a father must be a man.

IamOrei:
Does anyone notice the names start with either A, E & O?

Seems names starting with consonants are forbidden in their language

The language is not a chi, cho, chi, gb language

Any idoma child could have become a 2baba if it wasn't for where they found themselves, better still, why are there no so many idoma popstars of the level of 2baba's feat and achievements? his environment(lagos) at the time made him and not because he is idoma, there is nothing special about being any tribe if the system works.

LexFlex10:
You hear from where

Where’s the proof

Your legendary 2face Idibia, all time music legend is an IDOMA guy remember that 😁

Dogalmighty17:
You heard wrong. Idoma don't do that. I'm pretty sure the Yoruba do though.

Na girls from Benue and South East full OS houses for South West

Sample use of Ajeh aka land.

I am not arguing about its meaning but origin

That word was borrowed into your language

ASArevivalist1:

Idomas migrated from igala

sacajawea:
someone asked for Idibia there, one would think naturally they would think of adding it.

Also say the ones like ... there are so many not mentioned.

Igbos, do you see similarities in the language, name and speaking?

Those names there are still the same name most Nsukka people answer.
