My name for instance is Adeniyi meaning the crown with value, Rabiu or Rabbi my surname means Teacher Mabadeje my compond name: Don't strip the crown. Kehinde means the one that came last as in twins Taiwo, Taiye or Tayewo means the one that came to taste the world My mother use to tell me that i was the one that sent my second taiwo to come and taste the world, that i was the senior then we are very young, but anytime i remind my twins brother this, we would fight throughout that day, i later gave up and accept to be the junior so there will be peace 2 Likes 1 Share |
