Ok

Lol

The one has lost his self esteem

Jungle republic! Rere Run!

ThinkSmarter:
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.

Know when to keep quiet, my friend.

I find this report disgustingly fallacious...

I have lots of friends working in the UK and Europe who don't even have an English name, nor did they ever adopt any.

How many Philippines, Pakistan, Vietnam, etc, nationals adopted English or foreign names prior to getting employed for their skills?!! Maybe y'all should look at the names they bear.

You can shorten the name for easier pronunciation, but not completely jettison it! For what na?!!

I don't buy his story. This equation is too easy. If he so distinguished himself to such an extent that he became excellent,employers would -out of necessity- learn how to pronounce his name. Excellence levels all forms of prejudice- real or presumed. For instance,Arsenal's former goal keeper's name,Szeceny or whatever.Clubs,important ones ,still signed him.

I am sure they won't have problem with Greek names.......Yeye people.

Afonja names are the best Even in Antarctica submit CV you'll get employed

Our only problem is mining but we still dey curb am small small sha. By the time Buhari steps down I believe it'll subside amen

For now all my afonja brothers with sweet names let's gather here

Who is Afonja?

georgementday:
Yes, he is 34

Though he looks a bit older...


I'm proud of Inien for not denying himself for too long!

Many Brits and other anglicized Africans are struggling with identity crisis today because their forefathers gave up their true names for a westernized one under the pretext of "ease of pronunciation".

No be this news I wan see nl
Petrol is now 300 per litre
How fuckd can we be in this filthy country

Don't mind him.... If Zlatan's name could become a household name, or Arnold Schwarzenegger, then this report makes no sense.

Shame on you

BigDawsNet:
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...

So, your father agreed to be called out of his name, for what reason?

Thank God my father did not give me any slave name.

Anybody that cannot pronounce my native name as is, should not bother addressing me. I did not come to make anything easier for the descendants of colonizers.

It's funny how I have got several international fellowships and jobs with my full Nigerian name.
I have travelled to several countries across three continents with my green Nigerian passport.

If you have what the world is looking for, they will learn to pronounce your name, even if it is Shokolokogbambgose.

Dreambeat:
True, dem don mispronounce mine tire but I no send dem. They even attempted to shorten my name to something that sounds English I still refused to accept that. Una must learn to pronounce my name by force

My surname,middle name and first name is native.
You can't even pronounce my surname correctly as a Nigerian if you're not from my state.

Can this be a problem if I leave Nigeria?

Cc BigDawsNet

Yeasterners and vvesterners or fraudsters to be politically correct have spoilt the name of Nigeria abroad. In Malaysia many Nigerians say they are Muslims from Northern Nigeria to avoid the ostracisetation that comes with being a Nigerian or yigbo as they call them there.

That’s understandable. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

See people wey colonize us nor wan use eye see our names

Legendguy:

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.

imafidon means I am a mafia don

Thats a lie. There is something he is not saying. Maybe the name has been blacklisted for something, or someone used the name...... hence the question " are you sure you are......?" Changing it now made the difference. This is why it's good to follow up with recruiters.
Truth is its risky disqualifying some9ne based on his origins. If he is certain that is the reason he should sue and state his case. No reaonable employer wants that kind of embarrassment.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Just look at the disaster Buhari has caused

You are sick

That's why I like the usa. They don't care what your name sounds like as long as you can do the job.

34 years indeed, foodball age

Sounds like subtle racism to me though

Oga, dey there dey argue.
You are the one looking for job in their country, UK.
They go shakara you to the maximum!
You go begin cry for your home country and kukuma change your name to John Smith.
Just because of job. Nigerian native name no dey help anybody outside this country.
Once they see it written down on paper, na red flag.

They should comman pronounce this

Habeeb081:
Who has the idea how to reach the operators of WhatsApp TV � of various universities in Nigeria ?

I can link you to that of OAU with thousands of active viewers.
But why do you need it first?

They can't make attempt to pronounce Inien but they can
make attempt to pronounce Polish names like
Pszczyna' ...
'Następstw' ...
'Źdźbło' ...
'Bezwzględny' ...
Szymankowszczyzna. ...
Szczebrzeszyn and their Russian counterparts. You see why as an African, you need to be exceptionally good to be appreciated and accepted. This feelings hurt so much
