A fact from O. D. Anosike appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 March 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that college basketball player O. D. Anosike was nicknamed O. D. as a child after his kindergarten classmates struggled to pronounce his given name, Oderah?
The last sentence of the Personal section gives a translation of Mr Anosike's name "in Nigerian." There is no such language, any more than there is a language called Canadian, American, or United Statesian. There are more than 200 languages native to Nigerian peoples.
Second. the source for this doubtful translation is given as the New York Times sports blog. Sports blogs are not reasonable sources for the translations of words and phrases from African languages.
