Olamide Faison : Cruel Parents

what a namethat's mean

May I ask why the parents are mean for naming him Olamide?? It's a Yoruba (from Nigeria for the slow ones) name meaning "My wealth has arrived" with wealth referring to the child being born. I think it's quite beautiful as is my cousin who also bears the same name
Step your culture game up buddy before you open your mouth!!

Olamide Asladejobi Partrick Alexander Faison.

Aledajobi is the correct spelling

It's Aladejobi. Must be a typo. I'm Yoruba and there's no name like Aledajobi.

Luizinho, your an ignorant dumb@ss. 'nuff said.







from a representing yoruba nigerian

is he Nigerian ? did his "family" came from Nigeria ?

is he Nigerian ? did his "family" came from Nigeria ?

That doesn't mean anything. Many people have the name Sean, that doesn't mean that they are from Ireland. You name a kid a specific name because you like the name, not because of your nationality, eventhough that could be part of why you name the kid the name you did.

You need to know how to ask questions without offending people. I am Nigerian and it is pretty insulting to say that his parents are cruel for giving him the names that he has.

By the way his name is spelt wrong, its actually: Olamide Aladejobi Patrick Alexander Faison

The first to Names are Nigerian:
Olamide: My Wealth and Joy has arrived from God
Aladejobi: Something along the lines of In the image and likeness of God.

If you call such beautiful names cruel, oh well too bad for you, at least his name has meaning

Nigerian belive in God and they count every single child they have as a blessing hence our names always thanking God in one way or another.

I get that you dont know what its means, you should ask the meaning before mouthing off

He has the First name: Olamide, His Middle names and His Surname: Faison. so he uses just the one name hence his nicknames: O and Lamz all shortened from Olamide.

I personally have my first name and I have at least 7 other middlenames (its not uncommon).

PS: He is of Nigerian Descent and specifically of the Yoruba tribe.

is he Nigerian ? did his "family" came from Nigeria


..

wow, this is by far the most idiodic post i've read.

my naes amanda,the name is a latin/spanish name..

i am neither latin or spanish im chinese so what so my name be since we're basing this on nationality.

ok

with a name like that people would make fun of me all the time where a live, but that's me.




and taste is like people's ass', everybody has one

How are we slow for not knowing Nigerian lingo?

the same reason why foreigners are "slow" for not knowing American culture

some people dont know wat names mean or the orgin that doesnt make them ignorant but there was a better way of asking or enquireing about his name.
be nicer about things.

You are EXTREMELY ignorant, Luizinho. That's all I have to say about that.

foreigners are in america. we're not in Nigeria. And i agree with Luiz. the name is just too long. not "dissing" any nigerians out there. but, yeah, get off his case. im sure he meant no harm.

ok thats fine and all, but still.how is that name MEAN??



If you love Jesus Christ and are 100% proud of it, copy this and make it your signature!

Olamide Aladejobi Patrick Alexander Faison

There are 4 names and his surname (hence the space between each word rather that -). So I dont get your point that the name is too long, he has more that one name.

Foreigners- Olamide is an Nigerian-American and to show the unity his parents gave him 2 Nigerian names and 2 non- nigerian names, and yes the statement is directly dissing Nigerians!

Oh yeah, I guess Jay Leno is a foreigner for being an Italian-American right!

Cos you dont understand things doesnt mean that they invalid, do your research or ask.

Hey, it's a good name. Stop trying to Americanize people's names. Try a little harder to appreciate other cultures before passing judgment, okay?

he could've decided to be called patrick, but didn't. so i guess he doesn't hate his parents for calling him olamide.

his parents are not mean. Olamide is an Nigerian name (fyi, Nigeria is in West Africa) and it means "my wealth has come" so exactly how is that a bad name? if you do not understand something then dont talk about it. learn to think before you talk becos it's apparently obvious that you dont. by the way, do you even know the meaning of your own name or even the origin?

I just had to jump in on this conversation. I'm sorry, I don't think it is ignorant to not like a name or state one's opinion on a message board. I must agree that Olamide's parents are cruel, but for a different reason. Everyone is defending the name given to him because it means something about being a gift from God. Yet, his brother just has a plain old name. I guess we can all see who is the favorite son.

reallyhotammi maybe you should learn to spell before you talk. Becos? what the heck does "becos" mean? Is that like Nigerian for bacon bits or something?

glaweb, maybe you should think before you talk. any sensible person out there would know that becos is the shortned form of because!

the fact that his elder brother has just one name doesnt mean that he is there favorite, did it cross your mind that his brother might wanna keep his private life private? like not revealing all his names? people are different so u cant just judge without knowing them

I believe the older brother (Donald) has a Nigerian name. I think he prefers to use "Donald" as his stage name. I think it's wonderful his parents continue to give their culture such respect. That's the problem with young kids these days. They are so stuck on being "Americanized" that they prefer to deny their culture because it's 7ecso "uncool". We need to preserve our culture and ethnic backgrounds. It is important that all people know from whence they came. It defines you.

Those of you who find Olamide's parents to be mean and have the audacity to type it out or say it are just plain ignorant.

I can't believe you are ignorant enough to say his parents are cruel for giving the older brother a plain name. Next time think before you start typing or speaking nonsense!

His older brother does have a Nigerian name. It's Adeosun.

Really? So there's Adeosun, Olamide, and .Donald. LOL. I guess they just said 'F' it when they had to name Donald.

NO. adeosun & donald are the same person.

But anyway I think you're bionic & I don't think you're beautiful, I think you're beyond it.

Oh

I love Olamide's name.

wow, i made this topic as a joke (with my old acclost the pass and the email)3 pages.
