The Name Deception By Colonial Missionaries by kufre2010(m): 9:12am On Apr 29, 2013
A name is a word or a term use for identification.­ If u are in UK and u heard somebody being called ;Ikechukwu, what wil come into your mind is that the person is a Nigerian because Ikechukwu is a Nigeria name. The same thing will happen if somebody is being called ;Smart Fork, u will think he is a Briton or an American. After the religious invassion the invassioners were engaged in the business of changing Africans names. They decieves our forefathers that God do not like African names. I wonder why God that gave us our languages wil not like our native names. Fellow Africans lets carry our African identity, lets bear and give our children African names because it is our heritage, it is our identity. Changing of names was part of the manipulations. Guys what ur stand on this
