Every Ijaw person reading this thread with utter disappointment at the absolute lack of creativity in the names.

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.

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'm talking about. Only an Ijaw man would name his child "DIvisional MARine Officer", so "Dimaro" is the acronym used. #Wicked
