Read Dad-Of-Three, Reno Omokri’s Definition Of Polished Kids And Rubbished Kids
Father of three and former president Goodluck Jonathan’s aide, Reno Omokri, has taken to his Facebook wall to outline the difference between Polished kids and Rubbished kids.
According to his post:
”My kids are born and bred in California and they each bear Itsekiri names. They know my language and they know their native dress. Your kids aren’t ‘POLISHED’ because they can’t speak your native tongue. No. In fact that are ‘RUBISHED’ if all they know is English.
I remember once somebody asked me why my kids don’t have English names. I told him as I am telling you, that when the English start giving their kids Itsekiri names, then I will start giving my kids English names.
Africans, emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. A Christian can still be a Christian with an African name. It is the faith that matters not the name!”

I agree with the speaking of languages. Parents shouldn’t let their kids forget their roots. But I don’t agree with the English names. My kids must bear English names. If he has a problem with his kids bearing English names, why raise them in California? Bring them to delta state and raise them nah to be a true traditional man mtschew.
You just nailed it, God bless you sir, I can never give my children English names…. I never liked the idea
true i strongly believe in this
true i strongly believe in this…
God bless you sir. We(my husband and I) are also of the same opinion when it comes to our children’s names
Correct, speaking the language & giving your child your native name s a different ball game jare
I will give even my great grand kids English names.
