sorry dear! Exactly it sounded like all those nu nu curse words! Its aiit tho cheesy
The contributors to the meaning of ur name were right. Itunu is one of the precious and more unique name given to a favored girl child. It has indigenous Yoruba meaning as well as a link to praise and worship of God the most High for His bounties. A girl with that name possibly has history of events happening prior to her being born and eventually being named that.... Such name don't just happen...

Nope. It is not the name of a god. The Baloguns are human, chief to the Oba and lead wars.

They could be liken to the military head.

There's no way d op can include all names especially surnames ( traditional names). He is just trying to tell us Yoruba names have sensible meanings and cultural back ground..
Thanks for mentioning my surname anyway.

Strange list!

Otedola sef is omitted.

Aregbesola, tinubu, amusan also not on the list, for some reason.
