Thank God, I saw one or two Nigerian names, I think! "Area Boy Rescue" . . . sounds like something I'd like to read! |

From the list, I can immediately see three Naija names i.e. Maik Nwosu, Tolu Ogunlesi and Omolola Ijeoma Ogunyemi. And I wish them the best. |

Ndipe: I did wonder how come she has Yoruba first and last names but an Ibo middle name. Do you know why? Is her mother Ibo? |
