IWUOBI

Post by jette1 »

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."

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 Igbo :?: :!:


Cheers.

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)

... 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 translates to - ill feeling which to me is negative
iwu-obi translates to - will which sound more positive and most people do name their kids will rather than ill feeling

the fact that it is a last name or surname is irrelevant

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 Iwuobi :!:

Is Iwobi from Onitsha?

I think Iwu and Obi are basic word that have a universal meaning in all our dialects.

I mostly agree; personally I would say it means -heart-felt- = Iwuobi
Nonetheless you said his name means something else pls do you care to share then

Heartfelt, emotions; we are really talking about the same thing. To be honest, I wasn’t aware until today that Iwuobi is a real person’s name albeit, not very common. However, Iwobi from my neck of the woods does not mean Iwuobi. We’ve already explored the only other viable option :!:

It has already been pointed out that Iwobi is Iwe Obi. The common meaning of iwe is anger but it also means passion. So, Iwobi means Passion of the heart :!:

Nonsense because it’s such a stretch. I rather go with Iwuobi meaning -will of heart- or - Drive-
Iwe-Obi which means -ill-feeling of heart- isn’t usually used as a name.
Igbo experts please come in

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".

Makes total sense..............most(current) Igbo surnames are usually 'abbreviations' of 'statements'.

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.
