dont f*ck with my name abeg

i dislike when pple mispronounce my name. they try too hard instead of just learning. ok, those that want to learn, successfully waste my time and dont improve on their pronunciation. i am partly at fault sha. u know those nigerian names that are officially 10+ letters long that u shorten to 5letters for casual purposes. i have one of them. if my akata friends see my ID, they start to ask me where i got the short one from, the meaning of the long one etc. well, i am proud my name is unique but its a burden sometimes to spell every letter of my name using other words. like shawty would be spelt as: s as in sheep, h as in harvard blah blah blah. sometimes, at a loss of words sef.

now, my main beef is with these nigerian-americans that have nigerian names. i know u cant pronounce v.well but pls dont give it another meaning. these my fellow nigerians-cum-americans even shy away when i pronounce their names correctly to their face. imagine, one seun boy calling himself 'sean', or sade calling herself 'shade'. well, that 'shade' is also common in nigeria too. i just had to blog abt it cos ehn, it hurts me when u lose the beauty of ur name. better still, get an english name and dont mess with nigerian beautifully accented names.

anyhoos, this guy has a series of vids on youtube, mad guy, i swear. one friend pointed him out to me. watch dis one. the main gist starts from 0:33

but this was just too funny mehn! sheetttttt!

ps: i will start my r/ship series sometime soon

pps: i appreciate the comments on my previous blog

e-kisses
