During the church service yesterday, the topic of my pastor's sermon was Lucky People.
He deliberated on the word- Luck. He then itemised different types of luck.
a: Hard-luck
b: Ill-luck
c: Badluck
d: GOODLUCK
All of the above has one element of luck or the other, however, their meanings are different. Everybody will desire goodluck than any other types of luck. In fact, nobody will wish himself or herself badluck any time.
What then is in a name? Ask a Yoruba man in Nigeria. He will tell you that names have much to do and say with the future of a child. Other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria too are aware of the importance attached to a name.
Even in the Holy Bible, one will notice that God changed Abram name to Abraham and changed Sarai to Sarah. It has its significance. In addition, Jacob was renamed Israel and till date the nation of Israel is one of the wonderful countries of the world.
It is the current phenomenon in Nigeria today that the present President Goodluck Jonathan must have benefitted kindly from the mystery -divinely- endowed name of Goodluck for him to have risen to the highest position in the land without campaigning for electoral position until now.
Who says names has no meaning?
