“Today, I chose to reclaim my African identity. I have dropped my English name, Harrison and my name will now be Nyende Mumia Nyende. This will be reflected on my birth certificate, passport, and all other identification documents. As the great Bob Marley once said, we must emancipate ourselves from mental slavery and none but ourselves can free our minds,” his statement read in part.
He went further to add;
“It is unfortunate that white missionaries convinced Africans that African names were not good in Christianity. It’s so sad when I see Kenyans calling themselves John, Mary, Magdalene, and James. I truly commend the Chinese for having the foresight to stop these Middle Eastern religions from destroying their society.”
The President of the Atheists in Kenya urges Kenyan parents to start embracing ethnic, indigenous Kenyan names adding that the Ministry of Culture should be a part of the convincing party.
