BABALOYE- my nickname from birth, My mom said when she gave birth to me, I had no strand of hair on my head and in Yoruba Land before a person can be installed as a Chief ,he has to shave off the hair on his head...So the moment I'm out of my Mom's womb, one of the Women around Shouted "This is BABALOYE "and it stuck like glue. Till tomorrow only few people call me Adekunle

DAUNTLESS- I got this nickname from my sec. school days due to my Fearlessness and never say never attitude..

Well my name is Ebere and when I was in primary school I had a neighbour who i see as a big brother. He was the one who started calling me Ab. Eventhough the short form is Eby.
I accepted it and that was my name throughout, i even created a comic strip i primary school, and i called it AB-COMICS.
When i was in the university i got so many nicknames like KIWI, KEWU, KEWUKEWU, KILIWI (all these are cropped from my surname).

For now AB is my most recognized nickname and i love it

Through out my stay in Israel in the year 2000 where I went for heart surgery (cardiac), my matron calls me ID from the name Idris.
The Israelites finds it easier to call me Eddy because they thought the matron was calling Eddy while some of them who even knew the matron was calling ID still decided to stick to Eddy because they prefer to call me Eddy and that's how till today I am called Eddy by all friends, family members and associates.

RIP to the late Dr Ami Cohen, founder, SAVE A CHILD'S HEART FOUNDATION, WOLFSON HOSPITAL, TEL AVIV, ISRAEL..
Special thanks to UCH IBADAN and Madam Felicia, as well as surgery colleagues from Nigeria such as Banke, Bro Samson (operated with pacemaker), Godson Newman(now late), Blessing, Biola(now late) and my Ethiopian friends.

I hope to write a dedicated story to this journey one day.

Nice and bad experience to talk about in the future.

Well , mine is very simple. Before people called me DANGER BOY, the reason is my surname mean dangerous. But i later change it to ALOYIN ehen i notice that am living dangerous life.

Now this is how I come about my nickname. My real name is ALONGE YINKA. So decided to picked ALO from ALOnge and picked YIN from YINka then join it together. That is how I got my nickname ALOYIN

Once people hear my name, they call me Kayouze and many attimes it's Kaymoney especially if they get to know my surname that starts with 'Owo'.. But in secondary school and even till now if my classmates get to see me, they still call me Baba Blue named after the popular vicks blue man because I was dark like him, in blue house, had a blue school bag and whenever I dyed the blue sport wear I did same with my socks making everything blue.
