culture they happen to be in .. hence the boasting about how they "dont speak their language" ..its such a pity that it takes the likes of titilayo to show this up for what it really is .. an inferiority complex belief that other cultures are better than the one god has blessed you with ..

@okpalaj thats partially true but not always the case, i dont have a single english name and have never needed one to obtain work.. infact i do remember that it was a talking point when i started work with my present employer who i have been with for over two decades... its a matter of how confident you are as a person to be able to project yourself and what you stand for. There are nigerians who lack this confidence and go overboard to "intergrate"  by trying to please which ever host

@debbiea1223 i agree with you , i have no english names a decision my own parents took and at a time where africans were not a presence in europe the way they are now... am grateful for this foresight on their part because it is a matter of identity and identity is the foundation of which we build our house on , without it, our house will fall like a pack of cards at the first wind that blows..

Sometimes we can take the smallest things for granted, like simply wearing shoes. Seeing the smiles on these children brought a smile to my face.
