I'm sure some people are like what kind of name is that. Olowosokedile is part of my oriki , a praise poem extolling the heritage, virtues and accomplishments of a family. I'm led to believe every Yoruba (:See Nigerian ethnic group:) family has one. Anyhow, Olówósòkèdilẹ literally means The wealthy person that turns the sky to the ground. Does that make sense? It means I'm rich like that (lol, I wish)
Anyways, this is my first blog here (I used to be on xanga not too long ago). This blog won't really have a format, it will just contain my random brain farts (which I tend to have quite often). I've seen a lot of very interesting blogs on this site and I can't wait to read them.

Yay! I'm the first person here! Anyway welcome to Blogspot. Your Oriki is rather intriguing it will be interesting to find out the rest of it. I guess its implying that with money you can do anything? Haba! Yoruba people can worship wealth like this? Chei.
