It is present in Kogi State as well...some kind of titled family name. Pronounced Oh-tu.
I believe it also means lazy person in Yoruba.
There are also some Yoruba names that start with O t u, eg Otuyemi, Otubajo, etc.

Thanks...there was one dude in my sec school nicknamed such, because he was considered lazy, mugu etc. He was skinny, languid, and lazy-weak looking...and didnt object to being called oh-tu....apparently he was mild mannered. Until one day someone tried to pick on him in front a crowd...one of those guys who wanted to shine in front of chics...in a nutshell, he dazed the bully with slaps and backhands, and before we knew it, he had "cleared" the guy to the ground. Come see respect....end of that nickname...forever.

Dem OFFA people migrated a lot to Ghana in those days before Nkrumah came into power, while Ejigbo people dey plenty for ABIDJAN.. one funny thing is that majority of those people have facial marks that easily identifies themChief Ogbunigwe wrote:oloye wrote:Hahahaha.....you are right oh!Senator WIRES wrote:Chief, una remembered those guys for Ayufssalam FC in Ilorin... most of them claimed to be either from Ogbomosho or Ilorin . they are actually Ghanaians from Zongo Town and Kumasioloye wrote:He was a Ghanaian at best an hausa Ghanaian.....he came to Nigeria from Ghana. Raccah Rovers of Kano at their height had several Ghanains of hausa extractions . .. You need to watch them play back in the day to see the ghanain influence!
Actually, many Ghanaians claim Offa, not Ilorin. I believe there is some kind of link between Offa and Ghana

Re: Baba 0tu Mohammed
Probably went to look for job as cocoa farm-hands or traders. if you compare them to those spare parts dealers in Lagos.. one family bringing another family member to join them.. that will be correct. Hardly can you find a family house in Offa without two to three people haven sojourned in Ghana.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:Senator WIRES wrote:Dem OFFA people migrated a lot to Ghana in those days before Nkrumah came into power, while Ejigbo people dey plenty for ABIDJAN.. one funny thing is that majority of those people have facial marks that easily identifies themChief Ogbunigwe wrote:oloye wrote:Hahahaha.....you are right oh!Senator WIRES wrote:Chief, una remembered those guys for Ayufssalam FC in Ilorin... most of them claimed to be either from Ogbomosho or Ilorin . they are actually Ghanaians from Zongo Town and Kumasioloye wrote:He was a Ghanaian at best an hausa Ghanaian.....he came to Nigeria from Ghana.

Re: Baba 0tu Mohammed
A number of the offa, ogbomosho and oshogbo folks lived in Ghana and inter married there. So some of those coming back to naija have legit claims. Take late Kafaru Alabi who played for Shooting...his parents gave him tribal marks so it was easy for him to fit back in. But his junior brother whom i suspect was born of ghanain lady,had no marks, he came home much later, his yoruba was dodgy and he looked so much like a breda. The only reason why anyone believed he is a niherian was because his brother said so.Chief Ogbunigwe wrote:Senator WIRES wrote:Dem OFFA people migrated a lot to Ghana in those days before Nkrumah came into power, while Ejigbo people dey plenty for ABIDJAN.. one funny thing is that majority of those people have facial marks that easily identifies themChief Ogbunigwe wrote:oloye wrote:Hahahaha.....you are right oh!Senator WIRES wrote:Chief, una remembered those guys for Ayufssalam FC in Ilorin... most of them claimed to be either from Ogbomosho or Ilorin . they are actually Ghanaians from Zongo Town and Kumasioloye wrote:He was a Ghanaian at best an hausa Ghanaian.....he came to Nigeria from Ghana.

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Re: Baba 0tu Mohammed
OK, BACK TO WHAT BABA O T U WAS ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT
Bring back the academicals - first at the state and then national level - and expand it beyond Nigeria and Ghana. Maybe coopt the Channels Children now sponsored by Channelstv. improve conditions to include better coaching, accommodation, transportation and equipment. Anyone who follows will probably see a few future SE players there. Beyond that, it could also be a lucrative money maker with sponsorship and television. Why the NFF hasn't done this is beyond me.
