Brother you are wrong. Emakpor Means Children is Life

Thanks bro, we are all learning.

Besides I thought Akpor means World and Emo means Children so Emoakpor or Emakpor would be something like World Children.... Now I know..

But u know in local languages, things like world and life are synonymous?

Someone can say ..haa This World self!!!!

It could still be said as ...haa this life self!!!!

U get?

Yeah I get you but reason am well.... giving names that means CHILDREN IS IN THE WORLD doesn't make sense because it's something everyone knows Unlike CHILDREN IS LIFE that has good meaning. Hope you concur?
