Most names are either biblical or faith based. For example, we have come across names such as Patience, Grace, Faith, Innocent, as well as the typical biblical names like Emmanuel, Joseph, Isaac, Jonathan, Ester, etc... Many names also begin with 'Chi', which means 'with God'. We work with Chinwe, Chijoke, and Chidiebere. We have also found that the days of the week are used for names. We have a guard whose name is Friday and when we first arrived in Nigeria, one of our guard's names was Sunday. Although this may sound odd to those of you back in the states, the names in Nigeria are very meaningful and are given for a particular reason.
So, to not keep you guessing...the name of our waiter was Thank God.
