I swear,I once saw a merit list of ndu with names like : million,mopol, president, government,papa, aeroplane,
There are so many names like that.. They do it innocently. Basically naming their kids after the events of the moment.. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a new born about to be named "Covid" somewhere in Yenegoa right now..

Its very weird for an African name
But normal for Asians
Our tone is very different

if you do a simple wikipedia search on the language family,you will understand.
Let this be the last time you describe a culture in derogatory terms. You cant complain when a racist skinhead does the same to you

You sound like an illiterate who is frustrated with life. Of all the comments on this peaceful thread, you're the only one who resulted to petty insults . Nobody here is the cause of your misfortune, nobody here is the reason your life is stagnant. Now leave this place and channel your frustrations elsewhere.

I repeat You are not very smart. What is the language family of this tongue you are deriding? Do you even know? Do you know what the Indians you love so much would say about your name?

Your illiteracy is astonishing and you keep proving it kid. Like what are we talking about, what are you saying concerning my love for indians. oh probably my moniker right?. So I use an Indian moniker means I love them right? Kid get busy with your life and stop wasting your parents money. I doubt you even read the topic which I never expected you to. The same reasons the Europeans will see Japanese names as weird is the same reason we are talking about the plateau here.


Pls don't quote me again ,I repeat don't quote me again you agent of doom.. Channel your frustrations to your wretched family.

That missjekyll is a frustrated kid fed up with life and suffering from a serious mental condition.
Everyone on this thread commented peacefully and had fun he was the only person that started throwing insults around. The only person.
It shows the kind of home training he had and background he's from.

Stop referring to people's names using the word weird. weird has a negative connotation. you wouldn't use it on stuff you admire. You opened this thread to make a mockery of things you havent taken the time to understand. Village Champion. you should get out more. Actually travel to plateau and meet the people then come back and delete this thread.You must loooove India,why would you name yourself after it. I havent seen anybody named Buhari yet. As for my frustrations, I m loving it
