Just curious. It seems as though you’re learning Igbo?

Odogwu means someone great. It’s a way of hailing one who does great things. Or simply a friendly title for another friend.

Mmemme means feast/party. Onye mmemme means someone who likes to party/feast aka happening person. Someone who makes things happen.

Nwafor has to meanings. One like you said, someone born on afor day. The other, son of the soil.

Yes i am nt fluent in my native tongue, I was'nt born nor bred in igboland. But i am making effort am a member of my state union in school and a member of council of chief ohaneze.

What tribe are you?

I'm Igbo. Why do you ask.

Kenoxman:
It has nothing to do with title just normal hailing among guys, just like "chairman,chief,oga,etf". For "onye na-akpo m" means who is calling me. The other one onye me me actually is "onye mmemme" meaning happening guy. Guy wey dey make this happen, man wey dey spend on people.

Tnxs. man you too much.

Kenoxman:
NWAFO (not nwafor) means son of the soil. ***ODOGWU Means mighty,great,etc.

OK thanks, but why do they call themeselves that are they titled holders, i thought titles are for elderly men in igboland or is it mere expression of love for culture. BTW have any idea on the meaning of onye na kpom and onye me me google translate is giving me rubbish. thank you meobizy lordfarquaad

What is the meaning of odogwu
What is the meaning of nwafor
What is the meaning of odogwu nwanne.
Why do igbo guys greet,hail themselves with these words.

Now I know the literal meaning of nwafor ( a child born on day afor.)
But my coursemate that call themselves these word are not even bearing odogwu or nwafor for a surname.


Please somebody should clear me out.
I am assuming that it is a title, but on the flip side traditional titles are they not meant for elderly men ( something likePete edochie).
Nairalander's please enlighten me.
It is crazy whenever we for lectures every small thing odogwu nwanne odogwu ikaraka.

Thank you.
