A name is a word or a term use for identification.­ If u are in UK and u heard somebody being called ;Ikechukwu, what wil come into your mind is that the person is a Nigerian because Ikechukwu is a Nigeria name. The same thing will happen if somebody is being called ;Smart Fork, u will think he is a Briton or an American. After the religious invassion the invassioners were engaged in the business of changing Africans names. They decieves our forefathers that God do not like African names. I wonder why God that gave us our languages wil not like our native names. Fellow Africans lets carry our African identity, lets bear and give our children African names because it is our heritage, it is our identity. Changing of names was part of the manipulations.

I think paul and james are jewish names given to the chosen people of god.
jesus did not have african disciples so no olumidelegun amongst the saints.

who will you worship? the god of david or the god of olukoya?
the lion of the tribe of judah or the lion of the tribe of ofonnagbuo?
should you adore mary the mother of god or mgbekeolisa the mother of god?
should we bow down to the god of abraham, isaac and jacob or to the god of olatunji, chidimma and badamosi?

think well before you chose. slave.

Hi Kufre,

It might interest you to know that some persons received baptism with their native names...I know of some persons who did this actually.

look who is a slave here. Is it not you who is a servant of the slave master who does what so ever they ask you to do? Don't it occur to u that as an African they are robbing you of your identity? Is it not God that created ur local dialect and that same God wil not like ur dialect name? Can't u understand the fraud ? So if japanese bring buddaism today u wil start bearing Japanese name abi.
