While in school, I sent my squatter packing due to some issues. So the class rep was among, that was how it spread like wildfire that landlord has sent them packing.
Ever since then everyone have been calling me landlord�

Makaveli derived from my mentor and Godfather Tupac Amaru Shakur. And secondly my folks started calling me makaveli cos of my love for the legend. The father of hip-hop and gangster rap.

Through out my stay in Israel in the year 2000 where I went for heart surgery (cardiac), my matron calls me ID from the name Idris.
The Israelites finds it easier to call me Eddy because they thought the matron was calling Eddy while some of them who even knew the matron was calling ID still decided to stick to Eddy because they prefer to call me Eddy and that's how till today I am called Eddy by all friends, family members and associates.

RIP to the late Dr Ami Cohen, founder, SAVE A CHILD'S HEART FOUNDATION, WOLFSON HOSPITAL, TEL AVIV, ISRAEL..
Special thanks to UCH IBADAN and Madam Felicia, as well as surgery colleagues from Nigeria such as Banke, Bro Samson (operated with pacemaker), Godson Newman(now late), Blessing, Biola(now late) and my Ethiopian friends.

I hope to write a dedicated story to this journey one day.

Nice and bad experience to talk about in the future.

But I occasionally sneak out during games to buy sweet/candy outside and sell in my hostel.
Others buy biscuits and other stuffs, but I sticked to importing sweets. grin

My nicknames are just to many. my football team mates called me destroyer, because of my incomparable defense ability, my gym guys call me pull ups, because I can do a 100 pull ups at a go, my boxing guys call me Emanuel Augustus, because I beat my opponents like the drunken master, home friends call me Marcus, as in Marcus from the under world movie, I got dannyrhymes from my jss3 class mates, I was their busta rhyme back then, people from my village call me stone, I was too chubby when I was a toddler, strangers call me tallest or longinus, bobo is 6ft 6inches tall, And lastly ( in lil Wayne's voice) bitçhes call me Buffalo

Why is your moniker nobody?

Back then in school,my friends used to call me O.B.O..... probably it was because of my foul mouth angry. I never liked that nickname but the more I tried to stop them,the more it even spread,to the extent that people whom I never knew even started calling me by it undecided
grin why do you also have a foul mouth

I have never got a real nickname tho because most people even when I was at school often call me by my real name or TP which is a mere abbreviation of my real name just like AY to Ayo but I hear other guys called names that has nothing to do with their christened names like 2bottle, Smart

Wiseguy

Hercules

Romeo

2finger wink

Waya Waya

Terry Dee

T money

Ratty
2men

1313 (Thirteen Thirteen) undecided

Mouth

Beyonce

J fire

Black King

Blac Chyna

Some even use those names on their Facebook, especially young adults

How did u get your Nickname and do you even like it?

Some people call me Honourable but it's not a nickname,. I was a speaker at uni.

I like it when my girl calls me baby, I can dash her my salary tongue

Mine was Andre Cruz

It's not actually a nickname but my real name which is only known to my family and close associates. We are of Afro Brazilian descent and some of us kept that heritage.
