[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]So, do you mind if I start calling you "Dia"? If you do, too bad o.

My name is Toyang, my Dia.[/quote]Nobi only Toyang, na To jet li.


Nope, Dia is not my name, just part of it, so call me honeric01.

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]That has little to do with anything.

Homosexuals, in a country that doesn't prohibit same-sex marriage, do not think any less of marriage than heterosexuals. Infact,t hey have the lowest divorce rate.[/quote]It has alot to do with it because after wasting their time lusting after same sex,they see the opposite sex as shitt and also brainwash the younger ones by devaluing what marriage stands for and also about the opposite sexx.

Abeg jor, is that a marriage? is same sex union a marriage? check and show me where homosexual unions are recognized as a marriage in any spiritual books and even constitution. SO PLEASE WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MARRIAGE, NEVER YOU BRING THEM INTO THE PICTURE, very irritating.. so you're comparing their union with marriage abi? GODAMMIT! You see why marriage is losing its essence? comparing homosexuals!!!

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]Are you saying I'm ugly? Abeg what is your name jor?

Atleast post the meaning[/quote]I know yours is Toyin, mine ends with Dia (so they pronounce it like dear)

Blame it on feminism, homosexuality and the cheap campaign of sex and all other sexual yada yada we have around.

If it's easy to get it, some people don't see it as anything.

Same with going to every bar

But there's going to be a day when you won't be able to go to bars again or have sex with numerous men/women again, then you're going to regret turning your back against marriage and companionship.

A family is what makes you enjoy/understand what sharing/tolerance and togetherness stand for.

Siga: ...lol...u mean the "right" word ...caught u

LOL

mrkels: I think the write word is making

Sorry, lack of concentration..

CAMEROONPRIDE: AFRICANS NAMES ALL DAys everyday...... AFRICAN CAMEROONIAN AND PROUD=CAMEROONPRIDE AND I LOVE MY NAME

Cool..thumbs up.

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]Last names are carried on from generation to generation or changed through interracial marriage.

Don't tell me you expect people to change their last names because. . .

If you want to argue out first names, we can. However, the topic has been washed and worn out like 190's undies.[/quote]Do you know how people end up with foreign last name? (at least this generation), it's because they give themselves foreign names, then their kids start bearing that name instead of their ancestral names.

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]ROTFLMAO

What's your name?[/quote]Too intimate, not for everyone.. since i have been on planet earth, i have only come across 1 person bearing my name.

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]Kafiya is a native name o.

Restrict your spambots from banning me. Next is Yoruba_Babe.[/quote]Native name wetin? what does it mean? it's a muslim name, not a native name.

naijababe: Technically, she can change that to whatever as Kafilat is a muslim name.

Muslim oh Christian o, they are still foreign, if bible could be translated to Yoruba, Igbo, Bini, Hausa e.t.c Language, then you can take christian/Muslim e.t.c sounding native name after conversion.

Saul to Paul in the new testament are still Hebrew names, so why should i change my native name to a foreign name because i got baptized?

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]Kaffy is not a foreign name o. It's like shortening Oluwatoyin to Toyin or Toyang. Very normal

I like this one, it's more "me".[/quote]Kaffy, Buffy, Cathy, so tell me how is Kaffy a native or African name? Even Kafiyat is not even African.

You prefer Omoge? who dash you omoge lol?

You don shit full ur ileke, u come run change am.

anonymous6: I just don't get it, Who would want to call themself bekky, bukola is the best to me and the right way. I know two bukola's and both call themself bukola proudly not that bekky nonsence

Bukky is even close.

Another rambo in the making..

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]That's not what I meant. You dey post like one sisi eko.[/quote]Baby Ileke Idi nla, what happened to your handle?

medjai: Hehehe...Nice one The materials go show, IJN

LOL amen o.. when league dey start? i hope we win our first 10 matches.

naijababe: Mehn, I thought I was the only one that's annoyed by that. Half the time the names end up looking like some gaelic name. I call myself by my yoruba name and my kids have nothing but Yoruba names.

Surely when i grow up, all my kids are going to have only native names and i am also not going to cut any of my daughter's hair, i want others to see and know that it's possible for black women to also have long hair. I just want them to see themselves equal and comfortable in their skin and with their names.

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]Mo kan n ba e sere ni.

This is a shocker to me sha. Na wa o.

From honerico to Erik. lol

My Yoruba name can't be changed. Toyang doesn't sound bad.[/quote]Erik? that's not even my name lol.. I actually gave myself an English name while i was still in the secondary school because my name sounded so "intimate" and there was this "ugly" girl who liked calling me all the time, she corrupted the name and also mis-prounced it (same with alot of people), i was so annoyed hearing it from her, had to get myself that English name. (only have one legal name and it's native) before i use to hate it, later while growing up, i fell back inlove with it.

I have warned all my friends never to call me by that english name again since it's not even in my birth cert.

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]Was he Nigerian or one of those ajebutta Oyinbo-born kids who can't even point to their father's land?[/quote]Ajebuta ko, Ajubeta no, even the Kafilat the Nigerian lady dancer calls herself Kaffy, did i make that up to or is she also from an Ajebutter home?

anonymous6: It is not shock but I never cam across the bukola/Bekky names before but I have heard of the sean/seun twice, thankfully one of them got back to reality and started calling himself by his name he was born wth seun

Well the Bukola one is so CLOSE to me that i can ARGUE that even in my sleep, she calls herself Bekky, i always "punch" sense into her head by bringing her out of her tiny wonder-oyinbo-land.

anonymous6: I think you should calm down a bit because many people of the young generation including me don't change our cultural names for english names

Calm down? is that necessary? I was never up before or do you mean i should reduce the interest i have on this topic?

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]I've never heard anyone refer to Seun as Sean lol.

Are Yoruba names the only Americanized ones? I think you should change the topic title, to get more response; "Yoruba with foreign names".

The eyes of God are watching you.[/quote]Ask anonymous6 about the Seun to Sean to see if i am lying.

I mentioned Chukwuma to Chucks, didn't i?

Pro02: Thanks frenchman2 i have also sent my doc.One of their rep. spoke to me, Why do they need me to send a statement of my account history to them...i smell a rat..

That's all it's done.. smell no rat.

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]Bukola Bekky?

Honerico, my love nwatintin, you must be smoking grass.

Boy, stop lying lol.[/quote]

anonymous6: This is the first time I have heard the name "bukola" being called Bekky lol

I am telling you, it seems you both have lost touch, call and ask your family members at home, you'd be shocked, if Seun can be turned to Sean, why not Bukola to Bekky? lol

anonymous6: I know what is going but it is not all of them, and I am on facebook certain times a week or months so I get it but I wouldn't use facebook only as the end all to your observation

Getting worse every day and i fear for the nearest future.

[quote author=Yoruba_Omoge]How many times are we going to discuss this on NL?[/quote]And how's it wrong if we discuss it again since it's getting worse?

Are you also one of them who calls Bukola Bekky?

medjai: Congrats man. Wishing you conjugal bliss plus a happy married life.

Na wa o. Meanwhile, we are still scouting

LOL me no scout again o, na just the "materials" to join the club remain lol

anonymous6: I don't think you should lose hope on the young generation, majority of them at least in Nigeria and to a extent in the western world care about their nigerian culture, some just take longer then others to get there. Some of the reasons for this, has to do with them acting fake to conform, some has to do or most has to do with the training from their parents, and etc also you have to differentiate between the ones born in the western world compared to the ones that are not because it becomes a different territory. I know some yoruba families that born and raised their children in America and the children were raised in the culture, have yoruba names, and speak the language you wouldn't have guessed that they were born in America and I have seen the opposite for example I have seen kids from those households call themselves Tina instead of tinuke or Sean instead of Seun and then find out later on in the years that it wasn't worth it. At least those ones had nigerian names some had English names, at times a middle name and would identify themselves with that over their native name first name; these are the ones mind you who were not trained well about the culture from the beginning to begin with so I am not surprised.

I feel it is up to the parents in the end of the day to enforce that, so far the majority of Yoruba homes I know use their native names so at least that is a good thing but only half(ones born in America) go further and really train their children with the culture to a extent.

It's like you do not know what's going on, go on facebook and 2go to see how young people are corrupting their native names to sound "oyinboish" in the process killing and rendering the meaning of their names worthless.

What is in a name if not for the meaning? take away the meaning and it becomes anything like bingo, jack, bush e.t.c

T9ksy: I 'll pay him as much as we pay the current gormless pretender to aso rock!!!

If you can pay him what the current clueless govt pay themselves, why then are you not in the corridors of power?
