The Origin Of My Name
My full name is Ajirola Anuoluwapo Akeredolu. It is in Yoruba origin. Sarah is my Christian name and mainly that's what everyone calls me by. "Ajirola" means "I wake up to see wealth"; "Anuoluwapo" means "The pity of God is much" and my last name means "A small ant (or anything of little worth) is going to become something that's big or recognized (i.e. a king/queen). Mostly, my mom and dad gave me my whole name at my naming ceremony when I was eight days old (10/13/91). My dad named me "Sarah" which means "princess" or "a woman of high rank" when I was christened.
