Why would any sane Nigerian give their kids Jewish names for that matter?

Who really taught us to despise our heritage ?

Are you certain I am the slave in this? undecided

You honor rules defined by ordinary men such as yourself, setting those rules are god over your very existence(heritage) and you think I am the slave here? undecided

You limit the very extent you can step out in this world to that prescribed you by your heritage(manmade god) and you think I am the slave here? undecided

Even the very name of your children, you demand should limited to only that prescribed by your heritage(manmade/defined god) and you think I am the slave here? undecided

Sometimes it is good to look in the mirror before you attempt to open up . undecided

Mistake? The thesaurus clearly tells you that the word "Delicate" and "feeble" are synonyms, and you are still yapping on about what again? undecided

Please go waste someone else's time with this ridiculousness ojare! undecided

in English you're right. But the word delicate doesn't go with the bible verse. there are bonle dictionaries nah. thats my point. we use bible materials to study. because the scholars consult with original language.

even the original laguage of the bibles do have synonyms that may not agree with a verse because of the context.

in english a word may be synonymous but not necessarily xompartible in context.

Lord may be synonymous with God on a context . But the fact that a Judge in courtroom is addressed as "My lord doesnt meean you can address him as " My God"

the word "Lord" is not a synonym for word "God", definitely not the Bible and certainly not the English language. undecided

So, I am not certain what you are stil trying to argue with this. undecided

Some names will go into extinction because of the character that brought disgrace to such names e.g Anini, nobody in Edo want to name his son Anini, very soon the Kanu or Nnmandi will follow suite.

Actually people do...
The name has more of Arabic origin, "Dalila/Dalaila" and many Arab ladies bear the name.
So it's more of wanting to be called a name with a strong Arab link.
