You suck dude really dude. Yakubu is not a Yoruba name and any Muslim can have that name.
Incomplete and potentially misleading. Christians can bear Arabic names! Gowon is not a Muslim!
FLAW 1
Now, Rotimi is a Yoruba name and any Yoruba can also have that name. Now Amaechi's first name is Rotimi which is a Yoruba name. I'm not saying he is Yoruba, I'm saying Ikwerres have huge influence from Igbos but they also have influences from other tribes as well.
His full name is Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi (See
1 and
2). Easy to see that his first name is "Chibuike" and not "Rotimi", regardless of how he is popularly referred to.
FLAW 2The post above insinuates that because Mr. Amaechi's middle name is Rotimi, then Ikwerre's may have Yoruba influence. This an example of generalizing from a sample size of one.
FLAW 3
If some's parent doesn't have any Yoruba influence, why would you name your child Rotimi?
Contextual meaning of "influence" is vague and so open to multiple interpretations. Specifically, the post does not differentiate between influence on a person and influence on a group. Some African Americans give their kids Swahili names, whereas there are no records of slaves shipped from Swahili-speaking parts of Africa (e.g. Kenya, Horn of Africa) from the Indian Ocean to America, during the trans-Atlantic slave-trade. What is the influence of Swahili on a West-African slave in Mississippi?
FLAW 4
Muslims have influences from Arabs that's why they have arabic names.
Incomplete and potentially very misleading! Insinuates that Arabic names are exclusively reserved for Muslims. Christians can and do bear Arabic names. After all there are Arab Christians who have Arabic names!
FLAW 5Five flaws from a single post!Don't have time to go through all your posts. Hope you get the drift!
