Just like nicknames, I'm sure your Nairaland monicker was informed by something that had an impression on you. Well, except for those who ban has made them run out of ideas of a name to choose. Lol.

So let me start with my own...

I got Penguin from a movie I watched, Gotham. Penguin's real name in the movie was Oswald Cobblepot but people called him Penguin because of his hair; and his looks maybe.

He didn't like the name at first and would always retort if called by the name. But with time it grew on him and he started to address himself by the name.

His character was that of a downtown guy trying to survive. He did a lot of shits. But these are shits he had no option than to do them if he must survive.

I saw me in him. Well, not like I do shits. But I saw in him a young man that wants to survive no matter what life throws at him.

At a time, Fish, his female boss then, broke his leg and he started to walk funny but he continued to hustle and to work himself up the ladder of the society.

Penguin was my favorite character in Gotham. That's why I chose the name.

So how did you come about yours?

While working as a field maintenance Engineer for Huawei under Airtel/9mobile in the Northern Nigeria in 2016, I faced a tough call on a Sunday afternoon to bring up a back bone site hubing over 56sites. I thought it was normal RTN login but this time around am to log into a ceragon radio that I have tried severally unsuccessfully to connect to due to lack of tools. Back Office / Front office did not specify the main issue before I took off.

ZTO, RTO, SDM and everybody was shouting at me, threatening sack. People in this Field knows the chain slavery involved. It will take me dangerous 3hrs to get back to town to get the required adapters and cables needed.

They needed me to log in and pull reports. I disobeyed them and did a hard reset while saying "ceragon pls".

To my surprise, the visible alarm cleared, the site came up and the subs were restored. My colleagues didn't believe this miracle. Since then, ceragon became a thing for me. I nearly named my second child ceragon. 123 metaphorises the natural order of things.

I still thank God for the guts I had to quit the job even with a pay of 365k of salary and unending/unjustifiable logistics. I became a pariah after quitting the job but today am grateful that I can feed my children while having time to see my children.

Job is good. Business is better. Peace of mind is best!

I can relate, Boss. Unlike the Metro, the pressure that comes with Backbone no be here oo. The Back-up office wouldn't just allow one to breathe. They also feel uneasy though. One can't meet up with MTTR always,,, especially when POF is not in sight. I'm happy for you ooo

Did you you a script to generate those 1000 monikers automatically, or you just registered it manually? And I see that you just created this one also. What business will require you to create such amount of monikers?

I've always cherished the idea of largely remaining anonymous or better put nameless while pulling out the strings. Long story short, the moniker is Nameless Mister....

Sadly, I'm nameless but na hustle wan dey make me show face once in a while...
