I know Heineken Lokpobire. He is in APC, Bayelsa.

When I first heard his name I was like how did the idea even enter into his parents mind?


Maybe his dad was drunk on Heineken the day he met his mother grin grin grin

I served in plateau State also and u are right. Their names are so cool . My neighbor was bearing Chuwang Xi Lyentapwa If you have never seen him in person or spoken on phone, u would think he is Chinese. Their names generally sound like people from Zimbabwe, Botswana and slightly Chinese.
Botswanan names aren't like that
Nor are Zimbabwean names
They are closer to South African Zulu names

I'm a big fan of cool names, like gosh when I was in the university, I had a course mate and friend whose surname was Fowler. Like damn I always loved the name. When it comes to names, I really love cool names. Another dude was bearing Henry Lawanson.

But straight to the topic, why do people from Plateau State , Nigeria bear weird names? It might look funny to a stranger but boy I think those names are so cool. If I was to go back in time to my ancestors and naming ceremony, I'd love a name from Plateau State. They bear names like Luyong, gomel, xiyang, giang, botmang, lalong, gomel, gotep, walkit, dikop, kaneng, bature, kamshinen, nimdam, manzwet, rotdimwa, bongdul.
I'm always teasing my G abt his. "Jared wines"

"Funny and Weird" to you, Normal to them.
Just as what may be normal to you (like many southern Nigerian Names), is weird or funny to people in other parts of the world.
