Name is caption given to a person, place or things. In my locality people believe that the name you bear affects you positively or negatively. And that is why my tribe in the Eastern part of the country relate majority of their children's names to God like Chukwu Emeka ( God has done well ), UCHECHUKWU ( God's will ) instead of those names that insinuate doom or like a jinx to the person bearing the name for instance Nwa udele (the young vulture) etc which in several ways have negative effects on the person bearing it.
I have stayed twenty years plus and it has never occurred to me that one day ", Odo Johnmark *Ifeanyichukwu* a student of UNN will be asked to say his full name because many persons even the relatives know me by what I do not by name. So I have to use this opportunity to tell people that I am Odo Johnmark Ifeanyichukwu. Thanks.
