They say the name you bear has a role to play in your life journey and because of that, parents give only names with positive meanings to their kid(s), especially here in my country, Nigeria, parents try to give their kids names with amazing and positive meanings because they think those names would affect and influence what the child would become tomorrow.
Some parents here give their kids names like Richman because they think that by so doing, the child would automatically be a rich man when he grows up. Some call their child Wisdom hoping that the child would turn out to be like the wise king Solomon. But, I think all that is false, else how can use explain the case of the former president of America - George BUSH. If people become the names they bear, shouldn't someone like president Bush be a farmer, or shouldn't he be living in the bush ? . Or someone like the DANNY DRINKWATER, the Chelsea football team midfielder, what's he doing playing football ?, shouldn't he working in a table water factory or something ? .
In my country, nobody bears a name like; Bush or drinkwater etc. They think those kind of names would bring a bad omen. Here, we have the best names. Here you hear names like ; Patience , Joy, Freedom, Miracle , Victor, Prosper , Gentle, Lucky, Christian, Happiness, Godspower, Honesty, Favour , Confidence, Merit , Light, Humble, Smart , Innocent etc.
but guess what, here you still get to see so many who are nothing close to the names they bear.
Here , you see that a girl whose name is Patience is always in a hurry. She is like the most impatient person in the world, She never slows down nor takes her time and yet she bears the name Patience.
You see another person who goes by the name Joy but never has Joy, she is always sad and hardly smiles.
Another guy Freedom, his mum doesn't let him leave the house, he is always under house arrest and is never free to hangout or visit his friends.
Miracle has an overwhelming challenge and needs a miracle, worse still, he's an atheist.
Wisdom is foolish, he always makes stupid decision and always gets scammed
Little children always beat the hell out of Victor. They feed Victor with sand during street fight and he has never won a fight in his life.
Prosper is still struggling and is yet to breakthrough, his business is almost crumbling and prosperity is far from him.
The other guy named Wisdom is sitting for his college entrance exam a seventh time.
Peace is a hoodlum who never misses out on violence (everytime; okada drop me, na here e dey happen). Gentle na werey(tout), he is always very loud and angry .
Faith has trust issues, infact she has lost hope, she nearly committed suicide the last time.
You know Lucky right? He's been gambling for three years, yet has never won a bet. He is so unlucky.
Praise is a church dropout.
Have you seen Angel? She looks like a masquerade or should I say she looks like the weapon fashioned against me.
Christian is a babalawo(witch doctor). God'stime just did money rituals, he couldn't just wait for God's time.
Wealth is begging for urgent 2K ( $3) .
Can you imagine that Grace just disgraced herself at a restaurant, she was trying to abscond without paying for her meal.
Happiness is even depressed.
I heard that God'spower had gone to collect odeshi(charm for protection) from a witch doctor, he doesn't even believe in the power of God.
Honesty is the queen of liars, she lies for a living.
Favour is begging to be favoured, for two years now she has been begging for aid and assistance.
Confidence can't speak in a gathering of little kids, he fidgets and stutters, they say it's because he lacks self confidence.
Merit is the queen of malpractice, she has never passed any test by merit in her life.
Light has not seen the light at the end of the tunnel, breeze dey off her candle.
Humble has shoulder pad (he is too proud ).
Smart is an olodo(dunce).
Innocent has-been found guilty and sentenced to jail.
Purity is an eyesore. Unity likes division, he is chief advocate for the secession of the country.
Mr. Justice and taking bribe are like 5 & 6.
Even Gold, she is worthless, her value is not more than 10k.
Charity too stingy, she can never help anyone or give anyone anything.
Uncle Winner always loses every battle and competition.
Even the guy called Bliss, his life has been full of misery and calamity.
I just don't know why things are like this.
