That's great - continue your series. What does DAKKADA on that hand mean?

Thank you @deveerei. Dakkada means "arise" in Ibibio. Ibibio is the local dialect in Uyo although English is the official language.

Thanks! It sounds nice - has a good ring to it. In the Philippines the closest sounding Filipino word I can think of (to Dakkada) is Dekada, which means Decade.

Okay..it's funny how languages seem to always sound alike

Well, when they share the same origin most of the words would be similar - but in our case I don't think they do - they also have completely different meaning - just mentioned it cause I think it's cool. :) You have a good one!
