I think i get it but im not sure...but i think i get it.

Glad to hear that

well I might sound pessimistic or a downer but whatever. I've always felt like the outcast.
I'm extremely different compared to my siblings, people never used to believe I was from the same family. It took me  awhile to see I was different but in a very unique and favored way and I guess it stuck.

mine is just my name. simple.

ain't too smart to think about something funky.

hmm larger_20..Kinda a long story..I have been a sturborn activist type since I was born. I was sturborn to my parents and always argue with them at young age. When the fire was too much on me, I leave the house and come back at night, so my parents have to lock me up anytime they want to leave the house..however this made the situation worse..Now u have known a little about me

"larger" was given to me by my class mates in primary school, I was so smart that people in my class almost worship me. They know my special red bag that I always carry to school. Even from a far distant, they can tell that larger is comming. One day, I was given the permission by the principal to control the school including my classmates. It was easy to deal with people in primary 5-1 but primary 6 students could not obey. So i deviced a funny way to follow them, which is one of my jokes.

I made sure every student was in class then, I tried to organise a comprehension for my classmates. It was during this occasion, when I was trying to teach someone to pronounce "larger lake" from a tortise story....it was well constructed the way our English teacher will pronounce it...so everyone burst into laugh and started calling me larger....some said I am larger than life... becuase i was a child comedian, acting play in church and school etc...

Well the "20" came later when I was gona leave nigeria at the age of 20. I know i will make name for myself when I leave....that was all it. I am actually making it but let me stop here...Since my primary school, I have got a lot of names from diffrent people especially the white men here

Mine is just my real name!!!

kewe is the short form for oghenerukewe (which is my name)

i graduated for five years without a job;i was thinking of what to do with myself,i woke up one morning and discovered i could think in binary so i decided to go into networking where i realised i could unleash my IT potentials.unleash_it actually means unleashing my IT potentials.

ORACLE
is uh well evrybody knows what ORACLE means

mm...just loving the name Renike
not my real name tho

The name spikelord was given to me by my friends cuz I really am cool on track with my spike shoes on.

nothing

well, i couldnt come up with anything cool and was quite in a hurry to post(that particular topic was burning inside me then). so i just cooked up bagoma. it sounded strange for a female but i just wanted to get on with the post so i just used it anyway, thinking i'd come round to change it later but it kinda stuck and i think i like it, now.

Well all my friends call me madam... even my husband calls me madam

Goodguy - Just my personality. A lot of people say I'm nice.

I actually formed the name when I was trying to register on some site. I used the name "shegs" but it had been used, so I thought of something that will entice whoever sees my ID. Hence, goodguy was born. Since then, I use goodguy when registering on any site.

Ijebu happens to be a town in Ogun sate...Mum's from Ijebu and Dad's from Lagos.Kool name tho!!!

theORAKU is a funkyfied version of the name i got from my office.
I monitor the ORACLE databases in my office so they all refer to me as the chief priest, the ORACLE.

So i just funkyfied it.

FLYBOY............Male ...Pilot...nothing to it really

CUSHMAN: Got it during my secondary school days and named after a very bad character in a James Hardley Chase's novel; TRUSTED LIKE THE FOX. I don't know why i was named after him and my friends didn't tell me. The name followed me till date.

Treason is but trusted like the fox.... does that sound familiar to you?...he he, i still have a copy of the novel, you'd "rent" for a minimal fee to study the xters again?

Yeah, it's sounds damn familiar! i've forgotten most of the story line....cuz it's been long!!! Though the novel is very interesting.

What do you have to say about cushman?

i think i got tibabey because i was so little and loved peace wen i waz in sec sch. i dont really get into a fight and if i get into a very small one, im very eager to end it that same day. so i waz known as coolbabey but i decided to put the t for titilayo in front instead of cool. not that interestin huh?

theORAKU:

so in short your real name is ibinabo?

am currently in port harcourt and have a neighbour called I.B with real name Ibinano.

kind Regards.

I really dunno why i bursted out laughing when i read this post. I am still laughing!!! SOmebody help?

I.B, i think you are wrong in some way. Most people reside in lagos, YES.. But not everyone is from lagos. Besides, hausa's are on here.. there are varities of people here. That why it's kinda fun to read from different perspectives. I think u need to surf the site well, and u'll see wat i mean. It might seem that most people are from the south (yoruba's) because u have the thought that, the owner of the site is a yoruba guy. But if you really look into it.. there r others. Althoughs... most people on here can speak yoruba.

Almost everyone in nigeria can speak yoruba. Cos most people go to lagos alot!

I.B.:

As most of you can already guessed, I.B. is the short form of my real name.  And I wanted to represent on this website.  To intereact with my fellow nigerians before I lose my nigerian culture if I had not already done so.  I also wanted to represent by using my south south name; PORT HARCOURT precisely.  It's been while since I visited nigeria but I can guessed or recognize the ethnicity attached to some of y'alls names whether real/nicknames; which reminds me of the question I wanted to ask, as a forum topic.  

Before I do, please don't take it personal.  It seems to me at least more than 50% of the folks up in this site are from the south west [nigeria], specifically lagos, nigera.  Am I correct? If so, are there any efforts been done to encourage other "nigerians" to explore this forum?  Sometimes the word just gatto get out there.  Especially with nigerians, besides it's 2005.  I sorta surfed my way through because am intereseted in nigeria and her people.  Am I incorrect? Or it's just an assumption on my part?  If it's just an assumption on my part, then am wrong. 

Best regards,
I.B.

You  r almost there ..most people here are original the igbos, yorubas and river line people like PH  but did not grow up in the east.Mostly Abuja, lagos, ibadan and PH. I grew up in the eastern Igbo region thouhg and I am going back when am done here

Outcast? diffrent from ur parents? It is not a good thing....maybe either of ur parents did with another guy/girl......
Well if u r diffrent and good then that can be concidered bad act bringing good stuff....sorry but that is where my mind goes...
