I wrote about this shortly when I first got back to Hive last month, and it was a prompt to tell the history behind our usernames. So, to explain that, I had to give a brief intro about what names mean to Nigerians. As much as the country is multi-cultural, this importance to name giving and ceremonies is something that unifies us. I really do appreciate it. Even more, I love the aspect of growing up and realizing you can change your name to suit your personality, whether the idea is gotten as a rhema or whatever great inspiration, I'm all for it!
I'm also glad this is something you acknowledge. Thank you for sharing your thoughts about it in this blog post.
