Many are the pronunciations of the name of the Ag. President
of Nigeria that comes one's way. Some even call him OsinbaNjo. No, his name is
OSINBAJO and there is only one letter N not two. You will remember this when
you understand the meaning of the name. It goes like this:
Osin means king;
Bo means arrive and
Ajo means a long journey.
Bo means arrive and
Ajo means a long journey.
So, the name Osinbajo is a short form of a full sentence:
"Osin bo lati irin ajo" and it means: the king has arrived from a
long journey.
Now, this is simply a literal interpretation and yet speaks
volumes! The name might still have a much deeper meaning!
