A man has claimed he knows the meaning of Baltasar Ebang Engonga's name.

He claimed the meaning of the name may be the reason for Equatorial Guinea's official's alleged bad behaviour.

In a post he made on Facebook, the man, Onyinkwa Onyakundi, said Baltasar's name has something to do with his escapades.

He gave his explanation of the name "Baltasar":

"The biblical meaning of the name 'Baltasar' is 'Baal protect the KING'. The key word here being 'King'. And as you wonder what King is referred to here, that Baal is supposed to protect, the word 'wise' quickly comes to mind, leaving no doubt that the King in question is King Solomon, the wisest character in the whole Bible.

"Now, class, what do we know King Solomon for, besides wisdom? You guessed right. The guy had 700 wives, and 300 concubines! And so, at 400 plus confirmed and recorded cases, Baltasar Ebang Engonga's polygamy and bed hopping exploits far surpass those of the likes of King Mswati, Akuku Danger and others of similar calibre, and are on the realms of King Solomon of the Bible."
