The title of the article sound strange right? You are thinking I am asking about your name? Lols, that's not the reason for the article.

One of the bad things I have regretted in my life is being a citizen of a country called Nigeria and one of the happiest things I am always grateful for is being a Nigerian. I know what I said is complicated but that's the truth. So many crimes that Nigerian have been into across the world and for that reason, we have been given a tag or let me say NAMES that have denied us so many opportunities.

The Yorubas adage says A GOOD NAME IS BETTER THAN GOLD AND SILVER but it's a pity that many wants that gold and silver and are careless about their name being spoilt. I have registered for something online before and I was denied access to the site because I was a Nigerian and I am like, why? Just because I am a Nigerian. It's not their fault though, they are only scared of Nigerians because of what they must have heard or experienced with them.

Nigerians are known by the NAME called SCAMMERS. it's not only Nigerian though that are facing this problem but ours is at a higher risk than others. But what they have failed to know is that everyone is not the same at all. Many might have name everyone but not everyone is into the same thing of being called SCAMMERS.

Enough of the country talk, what about us as an individual, what is your name? Many have been named bad names all because of what they are into. Like I said earlier, many don't care about having that good names, all they care for is gold and silver and other material things.

I was watching a guy on Instagram the other day and he was saying it jokingly that, people watching him should keep the good name to themselves and that they should just give him the gold and silver. He said he doesn't care about the good name at all, he said he is after those golds and silvers and after that, he will have a rethink later about the name.

Even though he was joking but in the real sense, he is passing a message to all of us. He has just shown us the heart of so many that they are after the material things and that's all.

Many have spoiled their name for pleasures and enjoyment of life. One-night stands have spoilt the name of many, money to survive has spoilt the name of many, getting big phones like iPhones has spoilt the name of many, and getting the latest car and flashing clothes have spoilt the name of many. No wonder, many are being used for money rituals in the process of getting what they can't get at the moment.

My advice for everyone;

It can only be best for you when your name is talked about for good cos it opens ways for many. Don't be carried away by the flashing things of the world and get your name stained with the mud and gutter around. Maintain that good name of yours because they are worth more than gold and silver in the market.
