Really? First topic and you made front page? Well I think we know why. Anyway before the british invasion, we had a lot of cool stuffs which were all taken, but one thing we refused to give, our name, is the only thing that reminds us today of where we are coming from. |

i want to believe what u are calling tribal name, is native name. to us it is the name that guides our path in life hence its meaning is very important. Also its meaning could depend on the circumstances the family or nation was passing through when the child was delivered. Our native names are actually sentences but we shorten it for conveniency sake(though its true meaning cannot be understood in its short form). We organise a splendid naming ceremony when we about to name a child, in my place the grandparents do the naming(native name) especially if it is the first child while We leave the english name to the parents The president's native name is ebele azikiwe(ebele means mercy, he was named azikiwe by his grandmother because at the time azikiwe was President and she wanted her grandson to be president someday) My obi's name(the dein(monarch) of agbor) is keagborkuzi(meaning what will agbor say again.. His dad was obviously tired of criticsms) My native name is ikponmwosa(meaning i thank God) My younger brother's is oghogho(meaning happiness) My cousins name is onyemekeihia(its meaning is better translated to pidgin than engllish.. It means if u too do pesin, u go do yourself) 2 Likes |
