Today at the office I walked into one of my bosses office (an expatriate) and his face was red and visibly unhappy, after greeting him before I could say a thing he asked me this "tell me why do all Nigerians behave exactly opposite of the meaning of their names?" he explained that he has had different two personal drivers sacked with the last 2 years because they were both criminals, and coincidentally they were both named innocent!! I laughed about it but, I have thought about it and yes.
when I was in unilag I knew a guy called innocent and the guy na criminal, I dated a girl called faith and she was the most unfaithful girl I have ever met o... even I have a very troublesome neighbor and guess what? her English name is peace!!!!
have any of you also experienced this Nigeria phenomenon in naming?
as an after thought if someone names a child honesty what will the child become?

In the yoruba culture they first of all check the child destiny and charater before naming. I watch that on tv
