Thank you to anyone who can answer this question for me.|||Hey Vereniqueu,
My Nigerian friend tells me that it means sweet heart. She says she calls her lover like that.
Hope this helps!|||Actually "obim" directly means "my heart." Obi = heart and the suffixed "m" is a diminutive of "mu" which is a first person possessive and reflexive pronoun. Sweet heart is an acceptable translation, but only for romantic contexts.
