Oh my goodness! Oga Sola, I was just about to post a thread on this issue. This is actually a serious matter here.

The only reason i think they do this, is actually because our ppl do not appreciate our culture, it really makes me mad when they go dey name ppl oyinbo names for movie, this actually doesn't limit to movie, it happens in reality, Nigerians do not appreciate our beautiful and adorable names, they go dey name their pikin so so oyinbo name, oyinbo names wey dey meaningless pass any thing. They go leave their own meaningful and adorable names like Nneka, Mofolorunso, Oyindamola, Morinsola.

Just pointing out, Oga Sola, Musibau no be Nigerian name o
