Every Ijaw person reading this thread with utter disappointment at the absolute lack of creativity in the names.
I know a guy "Joe" always thought it was short for Joseph or something, until I saw him write "Geography" as his first name. https://twitter.com/Marapolsa/status/1042680679887241217">https://twitter.com/Marapolsa...

You have no idea how difficult it was for an 8 year old me, to keep a straight face when a guy was introduced as "Bournvita". I was dying inside, and my mum was standing next to me like.

Some might think they just like the sound of the words, but don& #39;t know the meanings.
Lol, couldn& #39;t be farther from the truth. Wait till someone translates some wicked names in Ijaw, then you& #39;ll understand our fathers just want to fuck shit up.

In line with the tradition of my fathers before me, I already planned to fuck my kids up, but my son was born and I just had mercy for the poor boy and changed his name from "Attendance". My family would have been impressed.

I have met a member of the Dimaro family, but I just learnt the meaning of the name courtesy @dimaro_tope and this is exactly what I& #39;m talking about. Only an Ijaw man would name his child "DIvisional MARine Officer", so "Dimaro" is the acronym used. #Wicked
