Meaning of this name is unknown.

Edward Oforka says: The name is in Igbo language of Nigeria. Oforka is short for Oforkansi. Translated directly it is a sentence that says "Hope for justice is better than poisoning", which taken in context means "justice/vengeance is best left for the gods." The history is that pre-christianity, everybody is believed to have an 'ofor' (a personal charm) that protects one from enemies and denotes truth and justice from the gods. So if one felt oppressed or cheated, it was believed that raising ones "ofor" (usually above the head) implied asking the gods to let the truth prevail and grant one justice. However, some people will prefer to seek revenge or eliminate the enemy by giving them “nsi” (poison) as a way of ending the dispute. So the name is a simple advice that the former (leaving vengeance/justice to the gods) is a better way than the later (poisoning your enemy) in settling a dispute.
