Sagamite:
May the Lord bless you in the new year with the mental fortitude, diligence and hard work to write/type in good and correct English which actually does not take much more effort than the crap way you currently post.

What extra effort does it take to type every instead of evry?

What extra effort does it take to type expectation instead of xpectatn?

What extra effort does it take to type still instead of stil?

What extra effort does it take to type advancement instead of advncmnt?

May this year be the year you drop your mental laziness. Amen!

LOL!(hope its accepted) Nice prayer though!

I have come across a Chinese lady called Anne
An Asian guy called John just to name a few.

I feel people should be able to name their kids what they want. There are plenty of beautiful names out there whether they be African, European or Asian.
My first name is Jewish, straight from the Bible and I love it as it defines me and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Would you have been able to pronounce Xi or Qui? That aside, have you ever bothered to ask them if thats the name on their birth certificates? Trust me, the answer will be NO! There were some in my class at uni that had english names but whenever an attendance list was passed, Anne will write her name down as Xi Quang. why

This is the same question I ask new generation parents. How many English people bear African names? I have heard of people adopting foreign names simply because their foreign friends can't/couldn't pronounce their names and if you ask me, that's the most stupid thing to do. How many Irish people will adopt Yoruba or bini names simply because their Ibo friends cant pronounce their names? Do you expect someone that bear Eoghan to change his name to Kola

I bear a very powerful bini name which i write boldly in all my official documents but to make life easy for my foreign friends, I have shortened it as opposed to taking up an English name.

And those who claim their English names are christian names, what happened to Osaigbovo, Oreofeoluwa, Chukwuma, etc? aren't those christian names to?

Thank God my folks didn't give me an English name to say the least.

mine means, I have "prospered",

God has been faithful. He's kept me alive thus far despite my inadequacies. He has provided for me financially, emotionally, academically and spiritually. I thank him for seeing me through my MSc studies and providing my dad with adequate resources to fund my studies, pay my rent and upkeep allowance. He's been really good to my family. Lord, i thank you and give you all the glory. I know you that saw me through 2009 will do greater things in 2010. Amen!

@joyblinks,  thats rather harsh and uncalled for!!

I wont spend so much money in the first place.
I have done my research in preparation for my future big day and i've decided to get my dress sewn in china as it costs very little ($150+).
By doing this, it wont hurt to use the dress to mop the floor the day after the wedding
