Dat guy with 'Why GOD' got me. Buh Nigerians have got funny names too, 'praisegod', 'Conquer' etc

Nigerians adopting English names to comical effect.

Martins301:
In Delta, you hear names like Million, Keke, Benz, America, War, Aeroplane, etc... Mostly common among the Ijaws

Na by force for Africans to bear English names? A black man with an African name became the President of the most powerful country in the world yet my fellow Africans would do anything not to give there kids traditional names so as to sound mordern I guess.

DOUBLEWAHALA:
they are like northern part of Nigeria the kind of name they answer makes me wonder if they have heritage atoll

u will hear sumtin like


danfulani

adamu adamu

dan sokoto

shattim boronu

etc

What of the south? Haven't you heard of names like Goodluck, Government, Benediction etc This are names even Westerners find ludicrous yet Africans till this date are given their children laughable names. Na by force to bear an English name?

This post deserve to be given a thunderous piece of f....____ucccck.

The post is beyond stupid and ridiculous.

Catalin:
To all the guys in friend zone, this is to show that una still get hope. lolzzz

Ew! Tufiakwa! As far as I am concerned, no means NO! When someone shows you they are not interested in you, you simply move on. Not hang around, stalk her, pester her and try to bribe your way to her heart with gifts etc. It makes you look needy and pathetic.

People need to have self respect.

Catastrophe1:
I don't have that kind of time. To be following a girl up and down. Untop my own gifts and money ooo.

Abi o! In my book, no means NO. Not try again or try harder. Bros, some of the absolutely ridiculous stories you read on nairaland boggle the mind at times.

How person go bribe girl with gifts and money? Na wa o. And the crazy thing is that it worked. The Nigerian mentality sef. I guess its all about money and being a pest. This kind of thing does not fly in a lot of other countries. You could be arrested for harassment.

Personally, i feel that love should be mutual and both of you should be crazy about each other. It shouldnt just be the guy doing all the pursuing.

Quintessential1:
And when it doesn't work out, he'll be more distraught. No, I can't deal. Dude's emotional maturity is questionable. And then tongues will start wagging in church.

Abeg, listen to your gut not this nairalanders.

CyberGypsy:
well i don't take No for an answer ..

NB: To the ladies ,if I have a crush on you on here, just know you won't have breathing space , its either you say yes or you delete your account . even if you delete your account , I will search for you . just don't let me like you *peyren*

Uhm, sir I believe that is called being creepy.

pchukwudi:
On what basis are you postig this nonsense here?

What do you take Nairaland for? A village square?

How old are you by the way?

Was your husband aware that you were going to post this crap here?

Have you ever taken any time to study how Nairaland works before bringing your family matter here for discusion (with specific mentions)?

Do you realize that this is an archive of some sort with a GLOBAL audience?

Are you even aware that this is internet?

What exactly were you thinking when you created this thread?

Don't you have a family or friends to gossip your issues or discuss your concerns with?

Do you realize how embarrassing this thread is as per the context of the ongoings on this platform?

Please I beg you to delete this post right now before it gets archived.

So so onye nzuzu na asa akwa imeya na etiti ahia.

Uhm...I believe its called freedom of expression.

What an uplifting piece. After all the bad stories one reads from Nigeria, this is such a feel good one.

You can't give what you don't have

Preach!!!!!!

TheInquisitor:
I want to move from Rochester New York to Hollywood. there are so many things I love about it and I feel i'll be happier there in the city of angeles and the golden state in general. just The Photos alone makes me happy. I love the cloudless blue skies, sunshine,tall palm trees ,mountains ,pacific ocean,sub tropical climate .


Khiaa , cfcman please come in here.

Well for starters get ready to spend a lot of money. Cost of living over there is so high.

Also, taxes there also are ridiculous which I am sure you should be used to since you live in New York state.

So if you like high prices and high taxes then come on down.

sirdamis:
This picture shows the list of presidents who are 70 yrs and above in africa....
NB:There are 52 African countries...
www.brislink..com for more Africa countries insight and facts

To be fair though, Donald Trump is almost 70 and Hillary is in her 70's.

As long as you're a great and just leader that's all that should matter.

Interesting list.

Chei! Nigeria practicing Keynesian economics. Hahaha

Wow! Meanwhile none of my topics can make the front page?

steppins:
Which kain blacky be this na?

And what exactly us wrong about being black or dark skinned?

whirlwind7:
About your comments in bold....
Bro, save your breath. Black Africa has no leadership. Just brain dead political jobbers.

When all they do is sit on their ass and wait for the next federal allocation to be diverted into their personal kitty, you don't seriously expect them to impact the life of those who gave them the mandate to oversee their welfare.

Nice beach, by the way. Didn't know one like that existed in that state (Ondo?)

Until Nigeria stops allocation, I can't see Naija progressing.

Niyinficient:
Nairalanders in Akure the Ondo state capital made a trip to the largest coastline in West Africa in Araromi seaside in And State.....

Getting down to the site, a 3hr drive from akure, one would wonder if our leaders who go on various vacations to the Carribeans are so dead to this precious jewel waiting to be explored! We bring you pictures!

@paulsibility, @temitopar, @ajoskele @leshluap

Wow! This place dey Ondo? And I thought Ondo was land locked only to now hear that it has the longest coast line in Nigeria.

almondjoy:
No Olanajim, never had to try that route thank goodness. In ma own cas[b]e, I never had any problems meeting the right people.  Infact, I was in surplus demand and could not meet the supply[/b] since I had to settle for just one.  But I heard that when people get very desperate and can't seem to find love the "normal" way, the resort to "spiritual" means.

diddy4:
welcome to my world man.

Wow!!!!!!! Preach, preach, preach.

This might not apply to everyone but boi it sure has applied to me.

cococandy:
Sorry

So....

glossy6:
There was no vote on the name change but the key player who recently commissioned a 16 storey hospital in this village among other structures single handedly went for the name change and met some resistance. it was said that the new name was not gazetted by Peter Obi but I don't know how true this is

What exactly does a gazette mean?

cococandy:
I already asked.

Madam, I am still waiting for my response, was my answer not satisfactory enough?

Prologue

Nkerehi, a neighbouring The protracted Nkerehi/ village had been a peaceful community until Dr Maduka, a US based medical practictioner brought a lot of developments in the village and went further to change the village's name from Nkerehi to Umuchukwu. Some supported the name change while others opposed the name change leading to incessant clashes with both sides recording deaths. Nkerehi community was changed
to Umuchukwu through a Referendum conducted on
January 7, 2008 by the Anambra state government. Subsequently, the official Gazette on the name change was released by government in April 2008. But since then, the community had known no peace as a section
of the area vehemently opposed the change and insisted that the old name be retained. The trouble
started in 2007 when some of the people in the community at a crucial town meeting supported the name change from Nkerehi which was said to have been named after a totem, elephant to Umuchukwu, meaning "Children of God ". Others however opposed the name change. There has been bloodshed and peace has eluded the people. Brothers take up arms against brothers.

My husband's two sisters are married in this village but one belongs to Umuchukwu while the other belongs to Nkerehi and as such both cannot attend each other's function neither can they visit one another. What prompted this write up is that I called my husband's niece to inquire if she will attend her cousin's marriage and her response was shocking to me. She said her cousin is from Nkerehi and she as an Umuchukwu daughter will not attend. Mind you they are first cousins from the same Nkerehi village before the change of name.

Should such discord be found amidst brothers? Dr Maduka has done a lot for his community but the strife is so much that you can't but feel it.

Was the name change approved by the city council first? And did the people get to vote on the name change after the city council approval?
You see, this is how democracy should work at the local level.

Greatfuture:
If they cannot agree on ordinary name ,how do they hope to leave in biafra

My brother what came to mind when I read this topic is the genocide in South Sudan right now. This country seceded from the North to form there own country and we thought that will end the genocide only for them to now turn on one another after forming there own country. I guess the only thing both tribes had in common was there hatred of the North (sound familiar?). Now that they have seperated from the North, they have now turned on each other.

This should be a lesson to Africans that we should learn to live side by side and work out our differences amicably without letting emotions (especially anger and bitterness) to cloud our logic.

cococandy:
I already asked.

Chei! Egbami

Either way, here goes nothing (*takes deep breath*).
First of all, we both live in the same country and my alma matter played in the Alamo bowl the other night against CU and finally my short term goal is to relax and watch Bama beat the breaks off Washington this afternoon. Long term goals are to accomplish everything God put me on this earth for.
(*Whew*)

Is that good enough ma'am?
