What is the meaning of Adetchina...?
It means you are very very ST00PEED&ignorant

I am not a Yoruba person but I know I have worked with a Yoruba Engineer with surname Adetchina.

Get your head out of your pants. That girl has gone through so much trauma from the South Africans and we will not you and your ilk to do same to her in Nigeria.


We have a Nigerian and Greek guy called Giannis Antetokounmpo which is still Adetokunbo. He will sue your ignorant AZZ the day you tell him he is not a Nigerian

I don't know much about Huberte Rupert (the mother) but Anthony Edward Rupert ( the father ) was born in South Africa, Eastern Cape you can even Google it
Isn't it funny, sad and bizarre that you claim not to know much about Huberte Rupert (late white south african art collector), but you know so much about Chidinma's mother who's a black african like you.

You and your ilk have so evidently expended time and energy on digging out why you wouldn't consider chidinma's mum (black african) a south african, but by the same token consider Huberte Rupert (foreigner) a south African.

This is YOU validating the division the colonialist imposed on Africa. Do you not see that our problems are far from over?

Think about it sucker!

With all the huge white population in south africa the indigenous black people there still behave like primitive barbarians no wonder they couldn't get their independence the same time othe black africans where getting their independence their white colonial masters might have probably seen them as inferior black africans who don't deserves freedom like other black people.
This is a very harsh thing to say. Totally unacceptable. As much as some of them can be annoying, you can't describe a whole people like that.

Not one drop of Yoruba blood in her. I don't hate her, I am just clarifying her ancestry based on the information on ground.

I edited your post for the relevant part I wanted to respond to.

And I agree with you, IPOB are dump, stupid and hateful.

Sometimes we can be hypocritical!
Can a 'funke Abdulahhi' (from Osun state) become ordinary miss anambra talkless of a south african 'Muthulezi Mbanda' bcuming miss nigeria??

If we ourselves don't accept our fellow brethren talkless of accepting foreigners , so what's all d cry of 'xenophobia'?

We like demanding from others what we ourself can never give.

Dhur!

Wee u keep kwayet?
Can a 'Halima Abubakar' (from katsina state) contest (talkless of winning) miss Abia??

Nigerians will NEVER allow fellow nigerians to lead/represent them (just bcus of state of origin despite being fellow nigerians) but they are taking up arms that another country won't allow foreigners rep them.

Can nigerians allow a south african 'Nokhutuka Sithole' represent them?
No abi? But una wan make 'chidima' represent south africa okwea?

You better go check your own DNA because common sense should tell you that it is highly likely you are not pure anything in Nigeria especially if you are coming from the south.

How did Abdullahi become Abdoulaye in Senegel.

Poor gal.. She's been through a lot cry

I can relate because I am facing the same issue here in Anambra.

I have a flat head, I am fair skinned and I speak Igbo well down to proverbs.

But getting business contracts here is very hard because of my surname.

The moment they hear my full name, tribalism sets in cry cry

We blacks should learn to love one another.
You lied, I'm from Anambra and such doesn't happen in my state, as a matter of fact my tailor in my village is Yoruba named kehinde, even togolese are in my village doing building construction, so stop the hate, my state welcomes every tribe in Nigeria

I will entertain u because u didn't use insults like d other guy

Adetokunbo.actually personally explained the discrepancy in his nomenclature which I easily understood as a Linguist. Even to any layman is its understandable and accepted

Yout questions are nice, as a Linguist I have all your answers...

But then, it is better if Chidimma explains how her name's became so twisted...
Personally

There's a few controversy surrounding her origin

How are we even sure she is a Nigerian?

The same reason for the changes in the examples I gave is the same reason You see the spelling Adetshina or Adechina.

Linguistically South Africans pronounce Nigerian names differently based on their Alphabetic sounds. It would be very easy for them to misspell and mispronounce Adeshina as Adechina and register/document it that way. It is very cumbersome to correct mispelled names in South Africas home affairs.

Even in Nigeria I have seen Hausa and Yoruba people mispell calabar, iteshekiri, Idoma and Igbo Nigerian names on NIN documents even though they should be aware of simple spellings.

You are reading too much into this.

What has 'c' not being in the Yoruba alphabet got to do with being pure anything?

Is there 'c' in Yoruba Language? When will Obidients learn to address issues as stated.?

1.Stop with the tribal nonsense. I am not an Obedient and even if I were what has that got to do with my response.

2. There are over 50 Ethnic groups in Nigeria with multiple dialects that exist so to reduce me to the 3 major tribes is insulting. Stop it .

3.If you understand anything about linguistic morphology and the way names change when they are transposed in different regions or countries your slow brain would understand that Adetshina or Adechina is a mispelling and mispronounciation that occured most likely when documenting that individual in South Africa.

Case in point

Adetokunbo as Adetokumboh- Sierra leone

Abdullahi as Abdoulaye - Senegal

Nwaike as Wike in Rivers state.

Suleiman as Suleyman in Kwara state.

Stop thinking too hard.

Citizenship and nationality of a country is different manner. It's a legal designation based on sovereignty of a given space.
I think you are concerning yourself with matters that don't concern you but I understand you are a nigerian and you don't really have a home so you are trying to find loopholes in every system, so you can squeeze yourself in.

They are not loopholes you illiterate. These are laws that are established within countries as to who acquires citizenship and who does not. If the people don't like it please tear up that constitution or amend it.

A student of history like me, already anticipates the trajectory your country is going towards right wing political rhetoric funded by white monopoly capital, isolationist economic policies, neo nationalism, fascism and Xenophobia so don't worry I am not interested.

FYI There is a "white paper" on immigration out there circulating where your government wants change immigration laws to restrict all sorts of "loopholes". Good luck on that though cause I have read your constitution and any law that is not within its spirit or letter is gonna be thrown out.

There was time you dodo heads tried to restrict multiple citizenship because you were hateful that the whites were able to apply and obtain them especially from Europe.

Your self hating selves tried to enact a law that dispossessed them of it and they took your ignorant azzes to court because it was unconstitutional.

You people like to claim you are law abiding and under the rule of law but your really know so little about your laws and what is really in your hearts is vengeance.

When we started this conversation. We were talking about South Africa and I did not include other countries. Now, I am telling you about South African law and whether you are born in South Africa or not. It's does not make you a South African. If you do not have a South African parent you are NOT a son or daughter of this land and we do not recognize you as a South African.

grin I couldn't even fully read your text because it was full of so many errors, but I can see that you actually have no basis or points to make since you have resorted to petty insults.I guess the word "illiterate" But don't worry, my friend. You are not alone a lot of Nigerians, are illiterate purely based on your failed educational system, drug infested brains and several other mental issues.
