safarigirl: You can imagine the mentality of your fellow countrymen... If we can make the effort to pronounce foreign names without subjecting the bearer to humiliation, it can't be too much to ask that they do the same. It's called courtesy! Most Nigerians within and out there have no dignity or self worth! It makes me cringe the way they willingly submit themselves to such unacceptable practices. 5 Likes |

ThinkSmarter: They would not be difficult to pronounce if you paid better attention. Once I ask the name bearer to pronounce it for me, it becomes simple. Don't toe the path of slavery!!! African names are beautiful and easy to pronounce once you are taught. 2 Likes |

twosquare: You have stated the harsh and sad truth... It's not that they can't pronounce the name(s), they just don't want to be bothered because they have such low regard for the nation to begin with. Greece, Russia, etc, have far harder names, but they rush to hire them without such nonsense excuse. 1 Like |

Be proud of who you are. If you can pronounce Jeblowski and Ashley, you can pronounce our African names. I just keep repeating it with them until they get it right. I don't let them get away with it. ![]() 1 Like |

ThinkSmarter: It's not this either. Op was being mischievous since I don't want to label him a liar in what he means to imply. He intends to imply or feed the notion that there is some universal boycotting of Nigerians in line with what he may secretly desire. Truth is, Muslims, Asians, Africans generally all have on many occasions complained of this same issue. The implication is that UK employers are prejudiced against minorities and ethnic groups. The applicant's name identifies thire gender, fate, nationality, origins and so on. Applicants that are from minority ethnic backgrounds have allged , occasionally, that they tend to receive more invitations for job interviews when they change their names to European sounding ones than they do when they use thire ethnic or Islamic names. An applicant, having thusly broken through the interview invitation barrier, may then go on to so impress the Employer at the interview they get the job in spite of the Employer's prior prejudices and reticence that the applicant was deceptive by altering thire names in the first instance. |

Drella: Are you from edo state? Back to your question Your surname, first name, last name will not denial you the authorization to apply for a visa for any country... The consular is not required to learn how to pronounce your name... He or she only need to confirm the names on your visa application tally with your passport... Then on your own part...as long as you can speak English and express your self... You have got no issue... When you land...if you want, you can decide to give yourself an official English... It's a marra of choice tho Goodluck 1 Like |

ThinkSmarter:the thing weak me weytin consign Nigeria with this situation now, the name INIEN can originate from any country in the world. Me na the same UK I dey, and my surname na Akpoghene, typical urobho, name. I have my qualifications, experience and have been working full time over ten years. I had never find it difficult getting a job. Sri Lanka citizens have names that are very difficult to pronounce and they don't change it for easy pronunciation. It all boils down to demand and supply. If you were a neurosurgeon now you wouldn't find it difficult getting a job compared to working for the council. I beg, guy don't change your name or your accent because that is the only identity you have. 1 Like |

Dreambeat: Exactly... I think that's with most humans generally. Even in Nigeria, you will hear a Yoruba man butcher igbo names and vice versa. I bet, if you are a super star, celebrity or someone in position of authority, people will learn to pronounce your name even if your name is 'Xyftshhdty'. |
