Equatorial Guinea naming conventions:

Spanish first name-African first name, then family name :Father’s name, Mother’s name.

Applying this to the Equatorial Guinea embassy guy:

Roman-Obama Ekua before his mom passed away in 2012 or so.

Then after his mom passed away he became:

Roman-Obama Ekua Abeme

His first name is Roman-Obama.

His mother’s name is Julia-Abeme Ekua, thus the Abeme at the end.

So that makes his dad’s name Ekua, —not— Barack.

We might never know what he was named when he accepted the scholarship to the Patrice Lumumba university in Moscow, not unless the Russian authorities hand that over.

In 1982, shortly before his father was killed, they were photographed together, then in 1992 he shows up in that Seattle article as a 31 year old law student FROM EQUATORIAL GUINEA who had been at Lumumba U 'for almost a decade' and he's named Roman Obama.

He had a number of vanity sites in which he showed numerous photographs of himself (now scrubbed) and in all of them he called himself Roman Obama.

Where and why he added EKUA I have no idea. I think it started with his employment at the Equatorial Guinea Embassy in Accra, Ghana, before he went to Washington DC.

You have hyphenated the name Romana-Obama, making at appear as a first name. He never did that himself, he always presented himself as ROMAN OBAMA. The EKUA came after he scrubbed the vanity sites.

Last I saw of his mother's name was on an image iirc you found; Julia Ekua Abeme Avomo

Roman describes her as 'MY ONE AND ONLY MOTHER' she died in Spain...
