Iyan Igma (noun) Pronunciation: \E-N igma\: The pseudonym of someone who thought that it sounded a lot like enigma at the time, never realizing that people would wrestle with this, perverting it into such grotesque sounds as eye-yon eye-guh-muh, etc. If you’re still in doubt, you can listen to the correct pronunciation here.

Iyan Igma is not to be confused for imitation iyans that he became aware of after publishing his books. That is, he is not a yam paste made in Nigeria. While he may be a Heinz 57 sauce of a person, Iyan bears no reflection on the Urban Dictionary definition. He should not be confused for the Philippine word for “That one.” He is, however, certain that his name is profane and obscene in at least one language, though he has yet to discover it.
