Joe Biden Appoints Nigerian-born Osaremen Okolo As Covid-19 Policy Advisor by gistyinka(op): 4:10pm On Dec 31, 2020
US president-elect Joe Biden has appointed Nigerian Osaremen Okolo as his advisor on COVID-19 response.

Osaremen Okolo serves on the Biden-Harris Transition domestic policy team. Prior to joining the transition, Okolo served as Senior Health Policy Advisor to U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky of Illinois.

Okolo drafted, negotiated, and managed the Congresswoman’s legislation, oversight, and policy across comprehensive health care and public health agenda, most recently focusing almost exclusively on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Previously, Okolo served as Legislative Aide for Health Policy on the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) for Ranking Member Patty Murray of Washington. A daughter of Nigerian immigrants, Okolo was born and raised in Massachusetts and graduated from Harvard College.

It is not only Igbo that answers Okolo

Urhobo or Isokos also answers such... whether okoro or Okolo can't tell....

I don't know any other group though the name is prominently Igbo.

oga there is okolo okoror, okoebor, okouromi etc in Esan specifically.

The first name is not a coincidence

Oko means child/birth in so it goes with many subs

Rotimi - Yoruba name

Amaechi - Igbo name

Osaremen - Benin

Okolo - Igbo


So what do you think?

Rotimi was given to Amaechi by the father coz of his passion for an erudite..
Your assumption is weak

You may be right. But the person in question can also be half Igbo, Half Edo.

So only the Yorubas bear Rotimi and not only the Igbo bear Okoro or Okolo?

You are too intelligent, bro.

Rotimi is primarily Yoruba name
Okoro as a name is not exclusive to Igbos, Urhobo bear that as surname also.

That's the plain truth.

There is nothing half there.

I have seen many other ethnic nationalities bearing Okolo though with a different meaning according to their language.

And who is arguing with you. While what you say is possible but it's also possible that the person is also mixed. Why is that too hard to understand?
