Former Information Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has every reason to thank God as his wife, on Friday, gave birth to triplets, all boys.
He took to his Instagram to celebrate the boys.” I give thanks to God for the birth of my three beautiful sons Ragnar, Aiden and Liam this morning. They are so beautiful. Precious and the three boys are doing very well. Today is her birthday: what a wonderful birthday gift that the Lord has given to us. To God be the glory!”
However, commentators are wandering why he did not give then a local name. A commentator, known as Throwback, has this to say.
“What’s with all the invented foreign names?
Is Liam not an Irish name? What the hell is Ragner or Aiden?
I can understand Christian naming with biblical characters and early Christian apostles and saints like Moses Daniel Isaiah Peter Paul Anthony Benedict Francis, but just embracing any funky western name that has become the fad is a definite no.
This rubbish trend is even more common with Nigerians with intertribal marriage, making the irrelevant and meaningless foreign name appear like a compromise between the parents who could not agree on which tribal name should be the first name.
The same people who would not name their child Sango or Ogun, would feel they are refined by naming their child Thor.
Talk about cultural slavery.”
