It is not about Nigeria, it is about your tribal name so difficult to pronounce. I am Igbo but i find names of Edo/benin, urhobo/isoko, Tiv and some Ijaw name difficult to pronounce. 83 Likes 4 Shares |

ThinkSmarter:My surname is imafidon and it's very easy to pronounce. Most Nigerians use to think I'm not Nigerian because of my name and I'm from Edo state. 25 Likes 3 Shares |

Rather than call him Inien, people choose to him Victor – his last name because it was easier to pronounce. So these people can't pronounce Inien because it's difficult but expect us to say their name right when they be answering names like Saoirse Kowalski ![]() ![]() 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Congratulations Buts it's not about Nigeria... It's your tribal name giving them hard time to pronounce... My dad when he arrived in the states... He gave out his first tribal name only.. it was hard for dis people to pronounce it... So one of them add few letters to his name just to help him upgrade to American stylish pronouncation... Now the name sounds more forign and easy to call by them... 3 Likes |

Some clowns find it funny that the same people and race who enslaved us for centuries and is still taking advantage of us today are finding it difficult to pronounce our names,we think it is cool to answer their English names,I feel so sorry for us,we reduced our traditional marriage to nothing but plan big for their white wedding,we think our names are not beautiful enough anymore that is why we now give ourselves and out kids English and other European foreign names,tsk tsk tsk tsk,I don’t know what is wrong with Africa and Africans sha. 18 Likes 1 Share |

Lol...if they can pronounce Schwarzenegger right, they should be able to pronounce yours right and other African names. But of course, we all know they are pretending and passing across a message that "you don't matter or we don't give a f.uck" That's obodo oyinbo for you. International freelancers can relate to that man's story. It's the truth no matter how some try to deny it. Change your name and country flag, and boom...orders, hires, and contract jobs stampede into your coffers in their multiples... ![]() ![]() ![]() earthsync: 10 Likes 1 Share |

Hmm... I have heard this many times but not sure how true it is. At the moment, I go by my middle name which was what my first bank bank in Naija used too. Having an English surname makes it seem wired sometimes because it hides my identity but, I'm okay with it. 1 Like |
