Yoruba places high value on names, and strongly believes that individual name is an exact representation of his or her character, personality, and more importantly, a symbol of a home.

Traditionally, Y...oruba names are given to a child seven days after delivery, expecting parents would have deliberated on the given-names; grandparents also contribute to names selection.

Names are kept secret until the child is born and ready to be given.


Yoruba names are classified into six or more categories, there are:

Destiny Names (sometimes called situational names) names brought from heaven
Given or birth name- that is name given at birth (Orukọyorukọ)
Circumstantial Names
Family Names (Orukọ-apele)
Name by profession, job done,
Religious name- traditional, Christianity and Islam
Self-styled names- (Orukọ-alajẹ, Orukọ-anijẹ)
Nickname, Alias (Orukọ-ẹfẹ, tabi Inagijẹ)


Destiny / Situational Name – these are names that parents have no control over, they become the children’s immediate names should they fall into this category. Parents that have twins already know- that twins will bear:

Taiwo first of the twins to arrive,

Kẹhinde, second to come,

Eta-Oko, name given to the third child, after twins

Idowu- name of the child born after the twins

Alaba- name of the child after Idowu, and

Idogbe, name of a child after Alaba.

Ige, name giving to a child with legs first during delivery (child born with breech or footling presentation).

Dada, a child with dreadlock hair at birth.

Aina Orosun, a female child with cord around her neck at birth

Ojo, a male child with cord around his neck at birth.

Ọkẹ, is child that comes out with sack at delivery.

Ilọri, child conceived and born with no prior menstruation by his mother.

Ajayi (Ogidi-Olu, Olo-lo-oni-kanga-aji-pon, O bo’mi osu-ru-we-da) a child with his/her face down at birth.

Omope- a child who comes out late, stayed beyond the reugular nine-month gestation.

Salako (male), Talabi (female)- a child whose head at birth is covered with caul (the inner fetal membrane of higher vertebrates).

Olugbodi- a child with more than five fingers/toes.

Abiona- a child delivered when on a journey, or at road-side.



Circumstantial Names- name giving because of the preceding, or an on-going event at the time of birth. It could be a simultaneous event, these names are:

Ẹkundayọ- it means my cry or sorrow turns into joy; maybe there was bereavement, shortly before, or at the point of delivery.

Rẹmilẹkun-A child that relieved me of sorrow

Damilẹkun- My relief has come

Adrenaline123: Do you know that sometimes when you do what your mind tells you do and you don't have any atom of doubt that it is wrong maybe through proper examination or at the longrun you may finally realize that what you did earlier was wrong, happens to people, (thats the devils tricks) , now all am saying is that you need principles that have been tested and trusted over a long period of time that will withstand the devils threats to you achieving good and great deeds. And this starts by believing with faith ('cause everybody on earth lives by faith when I mean every body including religious and atheists beings.) ask me why.

if u wanna say something, just say it

op just let ur conscience always guide u.
always live morally and seek knowdge

dont let religion scatter ur brain, and make u foolish and stupid like many Abrahamics on NL

however, I susgest u get learn about the spirituality of ur ancestors. It wud do u go

peterphd: Lmfao! These Christians eh.They dismiss other gods and don't want theirs to be dismissed.

the funny thing is that their God has been dismissed all his life. he started chasing after the jews like their wife

MEILYN: "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools," (Romans 1:22).

why quote me to this nonsense

Mr President: Macof, dead man walking. Zombie
Matthew 8:22
But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

zombies dont type fool

Mr President: FOLYKAZE, PAGAN 9JA, and Macof, you boys multiply words absent knowledge and intelligence.
The book 'History of the Yorubas' was written before any of you's grandfather was born.

Unfortunately for you boys, the secrets have not been given to you and will not be given to you because you are insincere. You are wicked beings and you will be duly recompensed when it is time.

@FOLYKAZE, hear yourself
'Writing this was a motivation from the biography of rev. Ogunbiyi who founded Reform Ogboni frat. He was a christian, he lead churches and was highly respect. Despite, he didn't ignore Asebaye. They still worship Orisa in Ogboni today and I am proud I saw some pastors there too'.

Shouldnt it rouse your curiosity that rather than abandon christianity for 'traditional African beliefs' Rev. Ogunbiyi still persisted in it? Why did did the Rev. gentleman not renounce christianity for total 'traditional African beliefs' when he became 'enlightened' as you have?

Orisa worship is not isembaiye. When the ROF was founded, it was only opened to christians but 'As time went on the founder considered it necessary to admit non-Christians, provided such entrants embrace a non-idolatrous believe in God'. Why the emphasis on non-idolatrous belief in God, why is it the major criteria, Have you ever wondered why?

does this guy knw me?

Mr President: See U here Macof
2 Peter 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

U mr president are a big fool

secound time am calling u dat.

MEILYN: no not me... They chose to be evil. . U are dead nw, who killed u? You killed yourself brother...

u are really dumb. gentiles are evil the jews are more evil than 80% of gentile nations.
dude u are getting dumber by the secound, if am dead wud I still be typin?

[quote author=i-smoke-weed]Its a well known fact that only fools don't believe in God

Even satan, babalawo, kiddnappers, robbers, ATHEISTS etc all know there is a God

BUT FOOLS DONT[/quote]why should u add babalawo in that list?

MEILYN: erm, but their laws is of the devil ....

u are just tryin to be silly. Its u dat introduced them to the devil abi?

Ps. reframed my post from insulting u

Tgirl4real: When did god order the rape of war captives?

u really dont read ur bible

Tgirl4real: Well, I don't agree. It's ur subconsciousness agreeing with what is right.

I believe you were created with the knowledge of God in your spirit. I pray you come to the realisation of who you are before it's too late.

everyone is created with the knowdge of God, thats the essence of the SOUL

MEILYN: Thats not a sin mr man. It is judgment for the wicked.. You will reap what you sow.... If You kill by the sword, you die by the sword.. When you sin against God, you have to be purnished

its nt God's job to carry out karma, he has a messenger for that. in my religion that messenger is Esu.
however the God of d bible is so wicked and lawless that he he doesn't even knw his duty to the universe

MEILYN: false. The death of Jesus can not be a waste of time. Jesus died to bring the Gentiles into the law. And also for his 144000 elects. The rest people will have to work 4 their own salvation.

what false who the fu*k is Jesus? bring which Gentiles? and which Law? Jewish law? abeg leave the gentiles to their own law

Profemmy001: Those of u calling God the father d father of sin...ask 4 forgiveness o

when I say "your God" I mean the god in the bible. The Real God of course is not a sinner

Profemmy001: Wait...am i seeing double. Hw can u say God d father is a sinner nd nt fair. When did he encourage killing, stealing, lying

chai. am nt wit bible here, dont worry lemme get home first

ofisa247: This world itself is dominated by sin. We all are gonna pay the price which is death.
But cos God loves us all, He gave us another chance to live again (eternal life) by giving us His begotten son (JESUS CHRIST) to die for us.
@TOPIC: a lil' kid does not have a sin yet unless, he/she gets to know right from wrong, decides to do wrong things.
*You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free*

guy u have been decieved all ur life.
1. death is not the price of sin, its only natural for humans to die
2. No one ever stopped our souls frm having eternal life, so there no " He gave us another chance to live again (eternal life) by giving us His begotten son (JESUS CHRIST) to die for us". Jesus death was a waste of time, energy and resources
3. u are nt reading ur bible well because if u do u wudnt say this " a lil' kid does not have a sin yet unless, he/she gets to know right from wrong, decides to do wrong things"
4. I wish u knew the truth

Alfa Seltzer: is he not the beginning and the end? the all knowing? omni everything! He must have known but knowing and acting are two different things.

maybe he forgot

Profemmy001: So a dead baby goes 2 hell...is dah fair?

is ur God fair?

Profemmy001: I dnt seem 2 understand u guys anymore. So nw God is a sinner. See d way dem twist bible. End time things.

is killing not a sin? is encouraging killing not a sin? Is taking thine neighbors property not a sin? Is lieing nt a sin? ur God is the father of sin

ghostofsparta: Thing is I'm tired of correcting misconceptions relating to topics like this. I have endeavored to do that and more in a book I'm still penning.

guy abeg share knowdge. u seem to know wat we dont know

Joshthefirst: Kay17, please put your question in a better way. Rape is bad. Molestation is bad. Once atheists understand that morality has absolutes, then they cease to become atheists.
The absolutes of morality are not "evolved" or "reasoned", they are even noticed in babes who cannot reason yet.


@macof. Stop decieving yourself.

are u ok?

Pagan governor is best for Lagos. A governor who's family is devoted to Olokun or Olosa(gods of Eko)

rationalmind: Lol, the same with my mum. She'll most likely faint if she knows I'm an atheist now. I don't even know how to confront her with it. But does ur mum know you practise ATR?

@op, hope we r not derailing your thread....sorry bro

She knows am no longer a Christian, but doesn't know about my revert to ancestral spirituality, though she knows my fathers lineage is devoted to Orunmila

funny thing is that my mum believes am the reincarnation of her Father

texanomaly: I'd like to do some research on different types of paganism in Nigeria. Can you suggest a good place to start?

Paganism is synonymous with culture, traditions and language.
It's part of the ethnicity of the people.
So to learn paganism from various ethnic groups in Nigeria, you would have to visit a local worship site and interview a traditionalist.

And most Nigerian Paganic religions are very similar like Yoruba, Edo and Isekiri are so close with just few differences(mostly in names of deities), the vodun and anago religion of Togo and Benin are also regarded as same religion.

However If u are Nigerian I suggest u start with Your own Paganic religion, the religion of your ancestors.

Alfa Seltzer: To think that he created flying dinosaurs. What a failure!

Was Jesus even aware of that?
