Why Dont We Bear These Biblical Names by Nobody: 7:50pm On Jul 30, 2013 |
We all love names like david, mark, john, reuben, mathew, peter, solomon etc. Why dont people like giving their children names like saul, judas, esau, cain, herod, etc? Arent they hebrew as well? |
Re: Why Dont We Bear These Biblical Names by Nobody: 7:55pm On Jul 30, 2013 |
Simple, these were bad people in the bible. Howevr, I wonder how Nigerians dont see it as colo-mentality and slavery when we give our children foriegn names. Are you Hebrew? Which kain name be HEZEKIAH? OTHER FOOLISH BIBLICAL NAMES NIGERIANS BEAR -OBADIAH -GAMALIEL -EZEKIEL SOME OTHER ONES I HATE -CALLISTUS -IGNATIUS 1 Like |

Arent they hebrew as well? Inferiority complex is the reason blacks change their names to Obadiah,David and other ridiculous names. You never think ours is good enough because we have been brainwashed to think so. |

Africans belive strongly in linking names with goodluck they belive whatever made david great is also connected to his name.hence such should make their children great too no wonder many africans name their children obama the yeear he won election |
Re: Why Dont We Bear These Biblical Names by Nobody: 7:11am On Jul 31, 2013 |
@Logicboy. since you are bent on freeing africans from slavery, i'll advice you start by giving your children tribal marks as a way of preserving tradition |
Re: Why Dont We Bear These Biblical Names by Nobody: 7:14am On Jul 31, 2013 |
Naija pastors love using the story of Jabez to cajole church members. Am just wondering why they dont call their children after that name. |
Re: Why Dont We Bear These Biblical Names by Nobody: 9:01am On Jul 31, 2013 |
Acidosis: Logicboy is not my name anymore than Acidosis is yours. |
Re: Why Dont We Bear These Biblical Names by Nobody: 9:03am On Jul 31, 2013 |
Segeggs: @Logicboy. 1) My tribe doesnt give tribal marks 2) There are foolish practices in all cultures. We dont have to abide by all practises- especially the illogical ones. Cultures evolve |

Logicboy03: Simple, these were bad people in the bible. Then it would be colomentality and foolishness for a Nigerian to call himself "logicboy" too. No? |

Logicboy03:what is ur name then? |
Re: Why Dont We Bear These Biblical Names by italo: 10:03am On Jul 31, 2013 |
Logicboy03: Then you are even worse than those whose given names are goreign. At least, many of them didnt choose. You chose to be a slave (being known by an English name) after your parents tried to emancipate you (give you a Nigerian name.) No? |
Re: Why Dont We Bear These Biblical Names by italo: 10:12am On Jul 31, 2013 |
Segeggs: st james, st thomas, st patrick .... What about st JUDAS? We have St Jude Thaddeus...who shares the same name as Judas Iscariot. Both were apostles. But we name ourselves after Saints. Judas Iscariot was not one. |
