My name is Chukwufumnanya Igbinosa Adeyinka Ekhator.  My name is saturated with the devout faith that is the foundation of my parents' identities.  In English, my first name has two meanings: "God loves me," a statement, and "God, love me," a request.  Igbinosa means "I run up to God," and Adeyinka means "I am surrounded by crowns" or "I am a descendant of greatness."  My surname, Ekhator, is an open ended statement that means "If only we can live long..."  Everyone calls me Fumnanya, the three syllable-eight lettered second half of my first name, for short; Fumnanya on its own simply means "Love me."  

          I am opinionated, I love to read, write, and think; I am a passionate individual who is very aware of her world, and loves it enough to earnestly try to change it.  I have an opinion about everything I hear or see, and I think it is important to be engaged in the surrounding world.  I have been absorbed in the recently passed historic election, and regularly pay attention to current events.   I express my opinions through writing.  Writing is my voice, pure and refined; it is a vent for me.  My writing is translated thought, and it allows me to communicate with the world in a way that forces it to listen; it is a form of filtered communication, sifting out the excess and leaving only the substance.
