@Bluespice, Yeah, she gets angry easily. oyinda.:For some reason, I'm good with pronouncing names of most races/ethnic groups. That's why it pains me why people can't do the same when it comes to my name. |
Re: Do You Like Your Full Name Why Do Nigerians Have So Many Wierd Names by Nobody: 2:43am On Jul 12, 2009 |
oyinda.:nah, your student ID is not your full name. Its a name that you use to sign into anything from the school. It's your username for school email. I mademy student ID very short, still Nigerian but very pronouncable. |
Re: Do You Like Your Full Name Why Do Nigerians Have So Many Wierd Names by oyinda3(f): 2:44am On Jul 12, 2009 |
oh. I thought you meant student ID card. |
Re: Do You Like Your Full Name Why Do Nigerians Have So Many Wierd Names by bluespice(f): 2:46am On Jul 12, 2009 |
she doesnt have an excuse jare the most annoying bit is when nigerians either cant or pretend not to be able to pronounce honestly easy names im like bitch pls, its (for example) FUNKE not FOON-KEI |

@Papaejima You are the reason I pardoned all the Biafrans on this posting. I read through your comment and I didn’t see any sentiment attached to it. So, I will like to congratulate all Biafrans in general for not getting any expletive from me this time. Common, you are a damn liar, nobody in your school bears that name. You heard it from this sycophant “Sunny” and Idiot “Okogwu, MEANING sycophant-idiot Sunny Okogwu.” Who is he? Definitely nobody! He said because Wole Soyinka had long and grey white hair, he’s not from Nigeria; and Obasanjo is not from Nigeria, because Sanjo in Igbo means something different. I would tell him, those two people he had picked; he was messing with a wrong crew. Where he at when Wole Soyinka won the Noble prize “one of a kind in the whole Africa? Soyinka is celebrating all around the world. If you school in USA you must learn Literature and get to know him more, you will see majority of African arts and caricatures on the walls written mostly by him. Where he at when Obasanjo a.k.a incestuous Gorilla won presidency twice – a phenomenon! I don’t like Obasanjo but y’all want to make me start praising him. Thanks to IBB for marrying his sister, the sycophant would have died wretchedly. |

I never see all your comments; because you always blame Yorubas for anything that happens to you and I know your gimmick right now. I just want y’all to read my comment and respond so that if you make me mad? We can start all over again. I never used any slur because of Papaejima. |
Re: Do You Like Your Full Name Why Do Nigerians Have So Many Wierd Names by oyinda3(f): 4:22am On Jul 12, 2009 |
lol. u're posting in the wrong topic dear. but your post is a bit relevant to the topic though - with the meaning of Sanjo and all. what coincidence. |
Re: Do You Like Your Full Name Why Do Nigerians Have So Many Wierd Names by Nobody: 4:26am On Jul 12, 2009 |
You must have typed my name by accident. I understand MrCrackles' name being there. He's always being mention for God knows what akigbemaru:rotflmao |

akigbemaru: what is this? |
Re: Do You Like Your Full Name Why Do Nigerians Have So Many Wierd Names by Nobody: 4:42am On Jul 12, 2009 |
who is this akigbemaru? is he hallucinating ? @ topic someone named their kid esupofo? why not ota iba yomi olorun ni oje which is a proper Yoruba name and the bearer commonly goes by Yomi- the abbreviated form, or Abayomi. |
Re: Do You Like Your Full Name Why Do Nigerians Have So Many Wierd Names by oyinda3(f): 4:55am On Jul 12, 2009 |
tpia.: what the. . . that's a full sentence not a name. ah some parents are wicked o |
Re: Do You Like Your Full Name Why Do Nigerians Have So Many Wierd Names by Nobody: 4:58am On Jul 12, 2009 |
oyinda.: I actually like the name. its commonly known as Abayomi then shortened to Yomi. but the full version is ota iba yomi olorun ni oje. thats what I was told sha. Its normally given when the mother or parents had a lot of problems before the child arrived. |
Re: Do You Like Your Full Name Why Do Nigerians Have So Many Wierd Names by bluespice(f): 5:04am On Jul 12, 2009 |
wtf!!!! thats a whole sentence |
Re: Do You Like Your Full Name Why Do Nigerians Have So Many Wierd Names by Okenku1(m): 5:35am On Jul 12, 2009 |
I find it weird that some girls try to make their names easy for oyibo to pronounce, eg Iphy, Aijay, Utchay. Is this psychological or what, because oyibo renaming themselves is largely unheard of. BIG UP to Indians and Pakistanis don't give a damn about oyibo. I know a guy called Maboob, and heard of the name, sukdeep (don't hold me to the spelling). |

Re: Do You Like Your Full Name Why Do Nigerians Have So Many Wierd Names by Akanniade(m): 5:58am On Jul 12, 2009 |
For me I like my nigerian name. Even my so called baptismal name I hardly use. The beauty of a name is in the meaning. Our nigerian names are very meaningful and thought provoking. |

MUCH ADO ABOUT NAMIng One has to be careful in giving names to Innocent Kids. One way or the other names of people has a way of REFLECTING ON THE OWNERS BEHAVIOUR,XRACTER, HABIT and so . In my view, its good to find out the meaning of a name b4 giving to ur kids or changing ones name. However I will never be in support of coping white in giving names. How many of the white has giving thier kids an African name? WHY do we always want to be like them? WHY cant we appreciate the way we are? WHY are loosing all to the OYIBO man? A white woman came all the to help us preserve the OSHOGBO DIETY. and 2day we celebrate OSUN/OSHOGBO FESTIVAL. Culture is the peoples way of life. ( Language, food, clothing, name it) it makes u unique. Africans and inferiority complex, when are we going to over come that Virus. Time will tell, This is also a test of how our imposed leaders have allowed us lost our identity. NIGERIA , GOOD PEOPLE GREAT NATION has gone to rest , |

another brainwashed idea. have u heard of indian and russian names. maybe Lakshmi Mittal is sexier than Sanjo? Or schwarzenegger is sexier than Fashola. Krzyzewski sounds better than Siasia. This is a warped colonial mentality. Indians and Chinese are going to the moon with their names and you are concerned about Naija names. Can you ever tell me the meaning of Dominic in english let alone your local language if you ve got one. Mel Gibson is also having a hard time pronoucing his girlfriend's russian name, but guess what she is smoking hot.Oksana Grigorieva, |
