You may not realise it, but if you bear any name aside your native vernacular name, you are suffering from Colonial Mentality. 😁

I didn't watch the video because my data remains 8MB. But I am proud of Olamide without an English name.

Okay. Cool names, both English and Local

Colonial mentality someone just said

Olamide got it right!

Must you have English name

Na dem let me rest for 30 minute mad bot do your worst

Will this stop Nigeria from being a disunited Nigeria all because of some region's wickedness and desperate effort to reject equity, justice, fairness and empathy?


If they like let them bear Igbo+Fulani+Ijaw+Ibibio name, that doesn't change the fact that Nigeria is built on the wrong foundation of marginalization, cheating, and disdain for justice and equity

You may not realize it, but if you can't choose any name from any tribe or tongue, you are the one under bondage .

That Edo girl ilobe just wants to make them bite their tongue...

She wants to finish them patakpata.


It would be interesting to hear how they pronounce that one!

I'm Igbo but proud of OLAMIDE and UNUEKPEN...

I'm happy how their parents are deeply rooted to African way of life unlike the Igbo counterparts that missed theirs with English.

Honestly gonna do same for my kids...

African names throughout

Obi's English name be wetin abeg?

More the making of his parents than his

Though he deserves some applause for not adopting an English.

Sometimes, I fiddle with the idea of dropping my English name, but then I realize it's not that serious

So I made sure that my son has no English name.

The US is using their diversity to stay ahead of the world while Nigerians are using our diversity to deal with ourselves

Poor grammar go kpai una

What are they doing abroad?
How often have they represent Nigeria their home state?

Nigerian athletes abroad

Are you aware MANY Nigerian youths give themselves English names? ??

Come abroad come look for professional work with your "native vernacular name"
After 2 years, then you can review what you just put up.

pocohantas:

Even if SOME do, that does not seem to be the default. I would argue that the vast majority of Nigerians stick with the names their parents gave them, even when they don't like them.

What will become of Bayesans with English sentences as local names?

English language is now beyond a language. It's become a programming language. A good programmer is now a prompt Engineer.

There is nothing wrong with English names. Even Arabs and Chinese do anglicize their names in Europe.
