IWUOBI
IWUOBI (which by the way is the full correct spelling) was massive today; should have scored but nonetheless not found wanting
make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

Re: IWUOBI
How did you manage to come up with that? Well, freedom of speech inherently allows you to make things up but let’s think about this for a New York minute. Presumably, you are aware that Iwobi is from Onitsha and therefore, is an Igbo man. So, the first thing you should have asked yourself before making your postulation is, does Iwuobi mean anything in Igbojette1 wrote:IWUOBI (which by the way is the full correct spelling) was massive today; should have scored but nonetheless not found wanting

Re: IWUOBI
you wont ask that question if you even understood igbo 101 because 'iwobi' by itself has no meaning and is rather a derivative of either iwe-obi(ill feeling) or iwu-obi (will)TonyTheTigerKiller wrote:How did you manage to come up with that?

Re: IWUOBI
Nice conjecture about the meaning of Iwuobi. Personally, I think it means emotion, i.e. law or rule of the heart. Nevertheless, as someone who shares the same roots and ancestry as Iwobi, I am in a unique position to tell you emphatically that Iwobi’s name does not mean Iwuobijette1 wrote:A concur with that translation and it is cosistent with the names WILL and JUSTICE which essentially embodies character, uprightness, drive, compliant, and just-heartcchinukw wrote:From an Anioma Ibo translation:jette1 wrote:iwe-obi translates to - ill feeling which to me is negativeTonyTheTigerKiller wrote:... and again, I ask you, what thought process did you use to determine it’s Iwuobi rather than Iweobi? ... and do tell me what iwuobi means in igbo, especially now that you’ve proclaimed yourself an Igbo 101 expert

Iwe-Obi which means -ill-feeling of heart- isn’t usually used as a name.

I asked Alex's uncle, my classmate from CIC and this is his reply: "It is Iwe obi egbunam ....obviously related to some age old family dispute which was later settled."
"Iwe obi egbunam" means "anger in the heart shouldn't kill me".

Re: IWUOBI
the egbunam at the end is the significant factor here because it again dilutes and stirs away from the otherwise negative term -IWE OBi- (meaning ill-feeling), That was my original stance ie rather negative and no parent would name their child -ill-feelings- without qualification at the end of it.cic old boy wrote:I asked Alex's uncle, my classmate from CIC and this is his reply: "It is Iwe obi egbunam ....obviously related to some age old family dispute which was later settled."
