“I feel so ashamed of African parents who take pride in the fact that their children do not speak vernacular languages. Ah! Who did this to us se? You are like a man who went to the bank to borrow money and began boasting of his wealth. English, French, Spanish, German and other European languages are borrowed languages. You have yours. You do not need to go to the bank to borrow money.”

“You have your own money that your ancestors left you. You can never be an original George, or William, or Harold, or Kenneth, or Richard. You are and will always be a cheap copy. But you can be an original Danladi, Segun, Bemigho, Kofi, Uhuru, Bonginkosi, and Thabisa. These are names with meanings. Look at the most internationally successful Africans. Almost all have influential Black African names, like Barack Obama, Aliko Dangote, Woke Soyinka, Sade Adu, Olusegun Obasanjo, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Kofi Annan, Wale Adeyemo, Thabo Mbeki, Uhuru Kenyatta.”

“Do you know why? It is not just physical. They are manifesting the prayers behind their names. Meanwhile, there is no prayer or power behind the European names you are so eager to bear! You can be the best Christian, Jew, or Muslim, and still bear your sweet African name.”

“There is no religious requirement in any of the above faiths for you to change your name before God can accept you.”

Dear @UchennaMekowul1,

Thank you for your feedback. Reno is a Nigerian name. An Itsekiri name to be exact. It was given to me by my late grandfather, Olu Ikemgbuwa II, also known as Prince Moju. Along with Reno, I have four other names, all Itsekiri.
