Nicknames on this Blog


Pleased To Meet You
How do you do?

<>

CJ refers to me as Mazi or Mazi Geo.

Mazi is a Nigerian name that comes from the Hebrew and it’s meaning is, Be Helpful, Mazi also means, Sir.

Geo is short for the nickname I had in the British Army, which is Geordie.

Close friends in the army would also refer to me as Jag because my full name is James Arthur Gardiner.

So there you go I hope it was as pleasant a meeting for you as it was for me.


Update after an email from CJ:

The word "Mazi" is generally used in the eastern part of Nigeria, 
which is where I come/hail from, it's masculine, used for a male/in 
regard of a male: Mr. Geordie (MAZI GEORDIE).
