What Is Your Native Name And What Does It Mean? by Nobody: 6:59am On Sep 26, 2015
Good Morning guys and happy weekend...As Nigerians I think it will be cool to know one or two words about each others tribes and dialects. So let's start with names n meanings..I'm from Plateau state and my native name is 'Damishi', it means ' a heroic person'....what about you? If you don't have a native name, you on a lonnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg thing

Na waoh for all this investigative questions in nairaland, meant to mapped username to State of origin, likes, dislikes, political views and possibly locations, and so many other things.

Today, it's your names and meaning, tomorrow it's ur email address, then another day, it's your religion. This forum is a faceless forum and should stay that way.

I have a feeling this is a front page thread...
I hereby book this space, for future purposes.

Btw @ OP, Why don't you tell us what Language "Damishi" is? or you just assumed we would all know?
Also I don't belong to a "Tribe" nor speak a "Dialect" - I belong to a full fledged Ethnic group that number in the tens of millions, and I speak a Language with just as many speakers.

Youa re welcome smiley
