anonymous6: Colonization started that but some of it wasn't by choice like surnames(but it can be changed), I have heard people reform their african name to sound more English or some are already born with a English name already However their are many africans that don't subscribe to that for example me and my siblings all have yoruba names and we never reform them to sound more westernized or conform or anything, so it is training. To me it falls on the parents if you train the kids of the importance of their african culture they are from then the importance of African names supercede foreign names but if you don't and try to be something you are not that is what happens in the end of the day.

Bro/sis, if this remain, the next generation is going to get rid of anything African and we are going to be lost forever,some are even not teaching their kids the language and run after oyinbo name (weather na bible na o or na qu'ran name), all are foreign, is there no interpretation of these names in our languages?

My younger bro changed his name to my dad's English name even though my dad's got a native first name, i was kinda angry but i felt i should calm down, i am going to re-talk sense into him, if you need to use my dad's name and not our surname (family name), why not go for the native one? his own name is even English, just imagine how both's going to sound? totally lost.

kwangi: The foreign surname issue is the phenomenon that surprises me the most. Come on! It's ur SURNAME for Okoro's sake.
You ever heard names like ThankGod, Goddowell, Godspower, and the like. If not inferiority complex, tell me why a mother cannot say thank god in her language and christen her child alike. The only problem in her brainwashed mind will be that names like that in her language won't be cool enough for her European masters.
Personally, I don't think adherence to foreign religions helps.

Ever heard of someone calling on radio to say someone else's name sounds LOCAL? i was so mad that day, wanted to call in to blast her.. it sucks.. even the president's cap(hat) to me is also very silly and i find it shameful.

T9ksy: So what's Ali kwara waiting for? He should please go and fish out the sponsors of Boko Haram from the northern region, jo

How much would you pay him to do the job of the president for you?

Well since they didn't see (the management) your aunt as qualified enough for a promotion to that post, i don't see any fault in the man applying (professionally)

eyoniggar: Whats up cules? Been off for a while except for some other sections. Omo boy just got married so other things has to be done. Cant wait for our first classico. chi-chin!!

WOW BRO, YOU'RE MARRIED? DEMDAMNDAMN WOW

kwangi: Firstly, it's as a result of colonial mentality which begets inferiority complex.
Some of them don't even know of the meaning of those names. The fact that the name is not African is reason enough to bear it.
Some of us even bother about the right way & accent with which to pronounce the names.

It sucks when someone bearing Bukola (such a fine name) changes it to bekky, Adeola to Adex, Chukwuwa (cute) to chuks (This is even for those who doesn't want to bear foreign names but they still make their names sound foreign and trying to re-tune it.

Why would someone even bear FOREIGN surname for God's sake? so if possible, they can even bleach their skins until it turns to white?

berem: u no hear am from me o! Lollz!

You are busted!

Ogboraph: ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT bUY GBPUSD @1.5719 take profit @ 1.5789 stoploss is 1.5693 buy it now

LOL this your call na hellfire o

Why do Africans bear Foreign/White names but the foreigners/Whites never bear our African names? is this an issue of complex? White supremacy or the symptoms of colonial mentality?

The worse of it all is Africans with Foreign/White surnames.
Do we hate ourselves?
Do we hate the fact that we are black and that things that relates to us are "inferior"?
Do we just hate anything not white/foreign?

Euro-flight resumes
In evidence once more yesterday was the resumption of a recent theme, namely a continual flight from the single currency. Against an otherwise relatively benign backdrop, the fact that the euro is consistently losing ground against other major currencies is incredibly revealing, suggesting a deep underlying disposition to a reduction of exposure by many different types of wealth managers, especially sovereign wealth funds. Worryingly, there was no particular trigger in evidence yesterday, which reaffirms the underlying weakness of the currency. EUR/JPY fell to a new 11yr low, EUR/GBP dropped to a new four-year low and there were record lows for the euro against the Aussie, Kiwi and CAD. Against the dollar, for the umpteenth time in the past two weeks the 1.23 level has been tested and rejected. For now, there is absolutely no mileage in attempting to stand in front of the steady determination to sell the euro. It does not take a rocket scientist to predict that the euro will likely slide further over coming weeks as money managers with euro-exposure continue to seek a safer haven.

berem: Retardinho must be in a state of confusion right now! SMH!

Is this the name given to him by the Brazilian girls he visited in Brazil?

A man your aunt helped to secure a job is now re-applying to take over the position of your Aunt or you mean she's suppose to be promoted to that position?

well some people don't see things the way some humans see things, maybe he believes your Aunt is not qualified for that position, hence the reason she was not promoted to that position, so he believes he's more qualified for it.

Maybe your aunt should talk to the management and not take it out on the man? to me o, on a moral basis, maybe the man shouldn't come and head the same person who gave her the job in the first place but on a professional level, he has not done anything wrong.

Pukkah: Have you thought about why the Presidency did not send your response above to the House of Reps?

Thought? you think some people can think?

Demdem: the more reason why the Retardeen must be speedily impeached before the country is completely Bankrupt as warned by Bakare.

How i wish it will come to past, I'd be the happiest man in Nigeria.

kenis: Earlier, Mr. Tambuwal called on Nigerians to hold the President responsible for the
eventual delay that the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) may face. Mr. Jonathan was accused of sending the new PIB to the House on a day the chamber
was commencing its annual break. The lawmakers commenced their annual break
after Thursday’s sitting and are expected to resume on September 17. The decision of the President to submit the bill to the lawmakers, a day to their recess,
was criticized with some lawmakers suggesting the bill be rejected.

We should be able to also impeach the National Assembly for delaying some bill passed by the president. They cannot distance themselves completly from all these delay. We have seen how they have shamefully performed from the committee they were appointed to chair. Their failure causes a backlog in the formulation the neccesary policies. Annual break my foot.

It's the NA that should be impeached and not the president? GHM, you mean the president does not know how the NA is run? he does not know when they go on their annual break? he had to send it the day they go on annual break? LOL this man is trying to be smart and tricky, but he has failed because minus me, you're alone here to blame the NA and not the dubious president who's trying by all means to blame everyone else but himself on the slow poison government he's running.

Demdem: Abati doesnt know what he is talking about. first and fore-most the Impeachement threat wasnt a failed one, instead it was a Successful threat. if not the presidency wont be reacting.
Secondly, the reasons given by the house to me is reasonable and the right call.
Implement the budget or get impeached. Its about time we all put our govt on their toes and do as mandated by law.
kudos to the house. I wouldnt want a rubber-stamp House the way the senate is today. this is the essence of checks and balances.

UNA dey sleep? the budget can't be implemented because NO MONEY IN GOVT'S VAULT, they are broke, there's no money, remember they have shared it all and you NEED MONEY TO IMPLEMENT BUDGET


THEY ARE TRYING TO PUSH AND DELAY THE BUDGET UNTIL 2013, THEN THEY WOULD HAVE MADE MORE MONEY FROM THE SAVINGS THEY MANAGE TO ACCRUE.

This govt is the worse i have seen and the worse is yet to be completed.

dirtymoney: So if ministries refuse to play their role in budget implementation- the president is held responsible.. good development! dem just wan use Joe Scape goat for everything. sha, i know say times are hard. those legislators dey broke. dem need money to go flex their holidays for bahamas.

Whats wrong with you people self? who employed the ministers? the president and he's the only one who can sack or hire any minister.

Learn how government run.
