How do you pronounce Olaseni's name?

I was listening to the 1st half on the radio and Dolph (great job as usual) pronounced Gabe's name a few different ways, then the tv guy added a different pronunciation as well. Can someone please clear this up for me?

Dolph used the following:

1) Ola-SHANE-E (this was by far his favorite and i have heard him use this many times throughout the year) but he also used

2) Ola-SANE-E

The TV guy used the following:

1) Ola-Cenne (rhyme with Penne pasta)

2) Ola-Sani (rhyme with Dasani water)


I always thought it was Ola-SANE-E but I am rattled after hearing 4 different versions tonight...can someone please set the record straight?

I pronounce it "Gayb"...it's not that hard once you realize the "e" is silent..."Gabe"...see!?!?
