Football Legend ''JAY JAY'' Okocha Reveals How He Got The Name "Jay Jay" Added To His Name

Nigerian football legend Austin “Jay-Jay” Okocha revealed on the Obi One Podcast that his iconic nickname originally belonged to his elder brother.


In his words:
"It started in the neighbourhood where we grew up, all of us were footballers because we had no other job, we were just on the street playing...
My two brothers played as well, we had few Austin's then, so to identify which Austin is which, they started calling me Austin, Jay Jay's brother, so from there Austin Jay Jay stuck.
So when i travelled, some people were struggling to pronounce my name Augustine so Jay Jay was a lot easier so I said I might as well adopt the name, so I put it in my passport, now it's official but I still pay royalties to my brother".

    Why do we always have to "soften" our names to please foreigners?
