ENGLISH TRANSLATION
It is not until a person has so much money before naming a child “Ola which connotes Wealth”, because Yoruba regard, high position in the society, children, good health, good name etc as “Wealth”. Wherever “Ola” appears in a name, it can also be replaced with “Ade – Crown; Ibi – Birth; Omo – Child; Oye – Chieftaincy”. For example “Olayemi; Adeyemi; Ibiyemi; Oluyemi; Omoyemi and Oyeyemi”.
