Mintayo: Guys pls this thread was not created to cause Tribal wars o,we are all ONE,i just want ppl to see the beauty in naming their children indigenous names instead of the usual 'English' names...biko!you started it when you said ''and not name there wards English names like some other tribes of this country'' as if there are no Yorubas that do so. @topic.I like yoruba names that start with 'ola' i thought it meant jewel,now i know its wealth. |
