OSAMA-BABY-BOOM IN NIGERIA
The most popular name to give it to a baby boy in Nigeria is Osama. As the
Nigerian Vanguard newspaper wrote, “the Osama season” started in the northern
areas of the country after the events of September 11. The doctors of one of
the hospital in the town of Kano said that 70% of babies, who they took care
of, were named Osamas. This name means a lot for the Nigerians. The parents
think that a character of their baby will much depend on the name they give to
their children. A baby’s name usually reflects the details of his or her birth,
the spiritual values of the entire family. The values of the Nigerian people
are different from the Western ones. Osama bin Laden is a hero for them, that
is why they want their children to bear his name. As one of the happy fathers
said, Bin Laden was a hero for him, because he disgraced America - the country,
which considered itself to be the most powerful one in the world. This Nigerian
dad wants his son to have the bravery Bin Laden has, so he gave that name to
his baby boy. The citizens of the town of Kano, as well as of other settlements
of the Muslim north of Nigeria, rejoiced after the terror attack on America on
September 11, and then they started naming their children in Osama bin Laden’s
honor.
The Nigerian officials believe that the number of little Osamas is a lot more,
because not all born children are registered. Osama is the reason of the family
conflicts, not to mention the international ones. BBC informed, one Nigerian
woman from Kalabar protested against her husband’s decision to name their child
after terrorist number one in the world. She claimed, she’d better get
divorced, than do that, and left the home. The husband does not want to
compromise either. But the majority of other Nigerian woman are not that
stubborn, so a lot men in the north of Nigeria will soon be Osamas.
Despite all the efforts on the part of the Americans, they can not shake Osama
bin Laden's authority in the Muslim world. The mind-set of the Muslim world is
very different from the Western world. They have Osama-baby-boom in Nigeria,
but in the West Osama bin Laden is the person, who is hated most of all. Madam
Tussauds museum has recently carried out a research, and the results of the
research showed that Osama bin Laden is now ahead of Adolf Hitler, having
become the most hated man for the humanity. Although Nigeria is a part of the
humanity too.
