I am Nigerian, my full name is Oluwatoyin, which happens to be very long but has a deep meaning behind it. Nigerians are known for long exaggerated names that anyone who's not African probably cannot pronounce easily the first time around, or second, or third. I was always that kid who just blurted out "I'm here!" I saw teachers struggling horribly to try to pronounce it. It's always funny looking at their face when trying to pronounce it. They always had the most confused overwhelmed looks on their faces. Therefore, I think a video on 'how to pronounce Nigerian names' would be a VERY interesting video! Especially with all the things going on in Africa. I'd love to see that and help with the process as well. Thank you!
