The name Akpos is carved out from names from the Urhobo and Isoko tribes in Delta State Southern Nigeria. Akpos is actually the shortform for names from the above tribes i mentioned like Akpororo, Akpobome, Akpomiemie. Back in Delta state Nigeria, Urhobo and Isoko tribes in particular, people who are called Akpororo which means life is hot, Akpomiemie which means life is sweet, Akpobome which means my own life e.t.c are usually called Akpos for short which simply means life by friends. The name became popular when Bovi a Popular Nigeria Comedian used it as his name on about two to three episodes of the famous AY LIVE T.V SHOW Who Wants To Be A Billionaire Segment on Africa Magic and other T.V stations here in Nigeria few years back. From there, the name Akpos became more popular when Nigeria Jokes writers like me started using it as the main character and center of attraction in a joke.
