Chinweuba
An Igbo statement that God is the true owner of wealth, from chi "personal god", nwe "to own" and uba "riches, abundance".
Meaning and origin
Chinweuba belongs to the large group of Igbo names built as short sentences about God rather than as plain labels, here crediting every family fortune to the personal chi rather than to human effort alone.
