People who live in New York are called New Yorkers, and those who live in Toronto are called Torontonians. If you live in other parts of Nigeria, all you need to identify a Lagosian (people who live in Lagos) is the way he or she behaves - the way they drive, their impatience as they want things done at the snap of the finger. In other parts of the world, people are identified in similar ways, sometimes it’s the way they dress, their accents and other ways they speak, the food they eat, and certain behaviours that are associated with where they came from. 

 

In Acts chapter 11 verse 26, the Bible says that the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. There was no naming ceremony or change of name announcement in the newspaper, so to the ordinary ears, it would look like the naming just came from nowhere. However, the name was a natural conclusion from the behaviour of the disciples.
