all am saying is that the name sounds ridiculous. sounds like the kind of name a lion or a cheetah should have. not a human. feel me ?

sambo-a black guy who acts stupid and acts like a fool around white people. He falls to the lowest level of foolishness to get a laugh out of the Caucasian audience.

right

What type of name is Femi or Dike, then?

Or Bimbo?

All have negative connotations in English.

Perhaps no Nigerians should use those names again. . .

Seriously man, who cares what it means in American English in a Nigerian context?

eku
N. something random; an act of randomness; something of no meaning or importance; an expression used at the most random moments.

Eku!
As always, the eku happened when the most random kid showed up.

all am saying is that if this, 'sambo' fella, wants to represent us he needs to do a name change  we cant have people in the west thinking they are going to chance us because our representative is called sambo. its 'subliminal psychological' warfare going on in international tangos. it is a dance that is won or lost by psychological non-palpable advantages or disadvantages.

I think there was an American president whose name was Bush.


And he acted bushy always

Too late to complain now,

Crude Oil:

dude had enough nukes to blow the entire arab world and africa into smithereens. do you think that it is a coincidence that 25 percent of all the goods produced in the world is sent to america ? thats the power of nukes baby. if you dont comply, you will be blown back into the stone ages. ask iraq.

tpiah!:

Too late to complain now,

tis never too late to get a name change. change it to an intimidating name that people will fear. like say 'odumegwu' or 'lamurudu' or 'abubakar'. maybe even 'shakazulu'

Well, i did point it out when he got the position but for he cant just go changing his name at this stage. Besides most africans wouldnt know or care about the significance.

well lets hope he keeps his butt in africa and does not venture to represent us in international negotiations. i can almost hear newt gingrich whispering to his cronies ' sambo here ought to be shining my shoes instead of trying to negotiate business with us'

Lol
