Jideofor See also Ojiofor, Ofodile, and Ejimofor.
male
This name deals a lot with conscience and morals. "Jide" means to have or to hold; "Ofor" is a symbolic staff of truth or peace in Igboland. One who posses "ofor" must have a clear and impeccable conscience in everything s(he) did or is doing. For instance, if one who posses the "ofor" stick states that s(he) has never stolen or lied in his/her life, that person is lying because at some point in our lives, we have advertently or inadvertently taken something that doesn't belong to us. But if that person may swear by the "ofor" that s(he) did not steal a particular named item. As someone with this name suggested, it means also, anything you do in life with anybody, make sure not to have a bad mind (clear conscience) or to do bad to anybody first.

Jide
