Saying Dunsin Oyekan’s name right can be tricky at first if you don’t know Yoruba names, but it’s honestly pretty simple once you hear it. I looked it up online and tried it out with my Nigerian friend to make sure I didn’t mess it up. It’s pronounced like "DOON-seen OY-ay-kan." If you need help, there are even sites where you can listen to someone say it and then record yourself to check if you got it right.

My tip is to break the name into little pieces: DOON as in 'moon' with a D, SEEN like 'seen' a movie, OY like 'boy' without the B, AY as in the sound 'say', and KAN as in 'can' of soda. Just saying it a few times in your head or with a buddy helps a ton so you don’t freeze if you ever meet him or want to mention him to someone. Honestly, most people appreciate when you try, and fans love getting it right!
