I was browsing through Facebook and came across a post with funny names of some people in Africa. It's not by force to have an English name.

Imagine a policeman asking any of them for their name and they answer doesn't matter or no more war.

So they are naming their children based upon the energy most dominant at the time of birth. This is wonderful but how come they not use sounds from their own language? Anyway its their business.

Immanuel the important person...

That moment when the mother is desperately in need of happiness she uses the child as the gateway

Headward Edward Roablockuuu!

These are all most likely transliterations into English gone wrong.
A lot pf African names make sense in the various indiginous African languages... but these days some Africans start thinking that is just not enough and then go on to translate such names into English.

They end up sounding totally disastrous.. as can be seen above.

lol

Nigerian people with confusing name.
