I was once opposed to the usage of swear words, but after years of said words reaching my ears from various people everyday, I have become apathetic. I do not normally use swear words, but I no longer disagree with their usage.

My father chose the name "Olufeyisola" (Oh-loo-fay-ee-show-lah). It is actually a phrase, roughly translated to "God has given this to us as wealth," or something like that. "Sola" (show-la or sho-la, accent on the "la"), the last part of my name, means wealth. My middle name, "Kehinde" (Kay-heen-de), is a traditional name, as it is usually given to the second-born twin. As for its meaning, it is a little complicated, but I shall explain to the best of my abilities. The second born twin is actually the oldest, but God sends "Taiwo" (Tie-woah, traditional nickname for the first-born twin), the youngest one, out into the world, with Kehinde close behind him, so that he may see the outside world first. When Taiwo cries, it means that everything is alright, and it is safe for God to send out Kehinde. I hope that clears it up. Anyway, my last name, "Akinola" (Ack-in-ola or Ah-kee-nola, accent on the "la"), is simply another word for warrior.
