Father of O'du and Arube. '''Meme,''' means the person with a big body. In some versions of the Lugbara creation myth, Meme is a man but in most she is a woman. She was created by Adronga 'ba o'bapiri, along with Gborgboro. Wild animals came from her womb, the gazelle broke out first and the other animals followed. After the animals had left her womb, she bore two children, O'du and Arube, a girl and a boy. '''O'du''', means miraculous omen. She was one of the first set of siblings and was born with teeth.
