Ninilowo:
Its Ojo (male) and Aina (female)
Ojo and Aina are babies born with the umbilical cord around their neck instead of in the usual position.

That man is a clown grin but he is saying the truth.
You know what the name "Olaniyi" means in Igbo? The day I heard that name I was just pitying the bearer.
Igbo itself means weed or forest in Yoruba, but the context of a discussion is what matters, not the meaning in another language.

Uhnnhuh Oga ooo....

But no one knows if the baby sleeps or cries in the womb na
So how did they come to the conclusion? Knowing that it takes 7 or 8 days to name a child.
it might be because the child is doing things the opposite way from what normally obtains.

Babies tend to sleep in the day and cry at night. A child who sleeps at night and cries during the daytime, would be unusual.

just guessing the reason, Oni might not strictly be a natural name, but it's close.

There is a name given to a child that sleeps during the day, but cries at night. I can't remember it.

I watched it last year on Oodua TV. There is even a name given to a child sleeps at night, but cries in the day.

Team Dada and Ige


Wbt Bidemi- a child born when the father is away from home.
Bidemi is not an amutorunwa name.

It's a general name describing the family situation at the time of birth, like most other Yoruba names.

The amutorunwa names are what the child itself brings with him, naturally.

Op that name in this topic "Amutorunwa" in Igbo it simply means "Prick wey senior pikin"

Dunno your intentions of putting it their when you didn't emphasise on it in your post.

One of the premature posts on the front page
the thread is for Yoruba speakers or people who are interested in Yoruba culture.

A mu means brought

T'orun means from heaven

Wa means come or arrive

If you find it disturbing, you can change it to agbetorunwa

Aina isn't the female verson of Ojo. Ijebus don't bear the name "Ojo"
yes, I just found that out yesterday when researching the names.


but name a male child with his umblical cord round his neck Aina
Aina is supposed to be the female version of Ojo, perhaps the usage varies.



I don't know why though. My name is Aina and I am a man.....hahahahaha.
not your given name no doubt. People don't give those names anymore.



Heard Ainas/Ojos are very stubborn. What is the relationship?
I heard the same. You sound stubborn, so maybe its true.

Not all families believe in using such names in the southwest
these are not names given by the parents or family, they are names the child is born with and yes, most people do not bear the names these days.

So the rare opportunity to cheat and maybe even get away with it presents itself on a silver platter. She has her own protection in her purse, not interested in developing feelings; she just wants what you have and can make you feel really good if you give it to her.
In the moment, it's not a big deal. I mean, it's just sex...right? And you've been donating joystick for years since your very first charity event as a teenager when you didn't know which hole was which.
winchy winchy things.

as per donating joystick, if that's the case, then why the long write up.
