Don't name your children Jayden, Biden - Boy Alinco tells Africans

Nollywood actor, Bayo Bankole, popularly known as Boy Alinco for his role in the sitcom Papa Ajasco, has urged Nigerian parents to stop giving their kids names like Jayden and Biden. This was as he wondered why it has become a trend to give foreign names to children when Nigeria has beautiful Indigenous names. Bankole advised against the practice when he appeared on the Teju Babyface show. He said, "Don't give our children Jayden or Biden and all that stuff when we have beautiful names like Oluwaseun, Oluwapamilerinayo and Oluwasoromidayo. "Some will say they won't be able to call those names in schools. But it's a lie. They call Dutch names and Russian names that sound awkward. Indians will not change their names for anything in the world."
