You got it wrong. The name is Odo- Ogalanya (one who is pulling in the wealth i.e roping in the wealth). Ogalanya by itself means a rich man/boss, from which the slang 'Oga' emanates

Ude in udeogalanya does not mean cream but it denotes the influence of the rich in a community.
Udeogalanya means the rich's influence,
Udechukwu means God's influence.

Tabansi is an Igbo name that literarily means Keep Eating Sh!t. But maybe it has a deeper meaning that isn't apparent to me.

Oga in the Yoruba and Pidgin sound of Oga is not the same as the way it sounds in Ogalanya.
Moreso, the Yoruba oga is a stand alone word of its one. Not an abbreviation of another term.

If we are talking about the worst type of English names, turn your eyes towards Ijaw. Ijaw people dey answer anything, I swear. Urhobo funny English name dey learn for Ijaw one.

You see Ijaws answering names like Pepper, Pepple, Goldwater, Heneiken, Wine, etc. These are not even their native names yet o!

Urhobos by far dwarf the Ijaws in funny native names though.



There is also one funny Igbo name I came across one time but I don't know if I remember it correctly:

Azubuike (back is front?). Am I right?

Azu in that case figuratively means your successors, ie those who come after you, which in this case means your children.

Azubuike = Children /descendants are strength
