Mintayo:
these are names given to 'special' people,e.g Idowu is given to a child that comes after a twin.
Alaba: a child that comes after Idowu.
Ojo: i think a child that comes with a supposed 'six ' finger, etc and etc...cheesycheesy
Most of the names i listed above hv to do with the newborn,umbilical cord and embyonic membranes status during and immediately after birth.The 'six-finger' child seems to be named Olugbodi.

@ Secret_Dreams We don't need any one to list our names and tell us their English meanings cos we already know their meanings.

I saw Olaniyi on the list, but Olanike is missing.

shollaire: Obasanjo means the reigning king and he sure reign twice in Nigeria history. is true your name reflect who you re?

No. It does not mean that.


Oba--> the king. Which could also mean God
Sanjo--> (no literal meaning, but could mean) has paid.


Sounds like, someone who's suffered a lot and eventually conquers.

just because you fellows have lost your identity and spirituality and religion, doesnt mean the rest of us Nigerians should as well.
