True that .

But there are lots of omo Yoruba trying so hard to expunge Yoruba out of their make-up while struggling to be 'westernized'.

Contary to what a lot of people think, Ogunlesi is not the owner of Gatwick airport, he's just the Chairman of one of the companies that own it.The company he heads owns the majority though

Aareonakakanfo:



Those are the ones that pronounce hospital as Hospiru. ki olorun ko ko wa yo

At least those who grew up in jand still have an excuse, ewo ni ta won ti locally-acquired foreign accent

laudate:


Yeah, but do you know what it means to be able to raise that kind of financing as an investment banker in the US?? Such cross-border deals don't come through, often. It takes guts, grit, a high networth, some high level stakes and tons of determination to structure such financing.

Abeg, the guy has my full respect!

Never gonna happen. Not just Youbas, I've met fake nigerians all over the board. I stay away from those people for OTHER reasons.

IlekeHD:


lol the guy needs to be a comedian

Aareonakakanfo:
I use to have a lot of them way back when i was home.You wey never comot naija, where you get accent?

Yoruba movie stars are even worse

Errm, I should add that the females are worse.

Especially the first day you walk up to them to 'toast', them go just scatter accent everywhere.

I'm telling you brother,the females in my hood back then were something else. Even dem mistura


Then we have the "yo ma nigga" ones too but the good thing is those ones are usually red mud romanis so i don't really care.The yoruba ones just love dirty hairstyles.God help us

9jacrip:


LOL.

The struggle to have accent, for social validation.

Back to one of the points you raised yesterday, how do we put things on ground and kick start the many almost utopian ideas for the old western region?

- How do we get the leaders in whatever party to stay bounded by Yoruba agenda and act within such frame?

- How do we identify leaders who have this passion within them?

3. How do we get youths to think and work along the same line?

- How are we going to possibly get membership or observer's statuses in the Afenifere or other 'serious' Yoruba groups from where we can begin?

IlekeHD:


Reminds me of that Toyin Aihmaku movie.....village girl pretending to be Americanized

IlekeHD:


Misogynist tsk tsk

IlekeHD:


I think the first step is #3. They youths will choose leaders who are aligned with the Yoruba interest. They sculpt these leaders.

To make this happen, they need to be enlightened, to know who their real enemies are.

Was she playing the role of a village girl pretending to be americanized or she was just trying to fake her accent in the movie

9jacrip:

Phew!
Iyen ma le di e o.

IlekeHD:


Playing the role lol



It took me less than a year on the politics section to get into that mindset.

I think NL does a great job of dividing people and waking them up to reality. Imagine what a few whispers on a communicative outlet can do.

9jacrip:


LOL mistura bawo?

Awon wizkid boys LOL

9jacrip:


Nor be so o, I'm not being a misogynist o!

It is just, my one year of PG studies at UI had me running into all types of girls but majority seem to have the accent problem.

It was so bad I tried to tone down the English with one by speaking pidgin and she told me to 'cut the pidgin please, I don't speak it'. In my head I was like 'God go punish you' - she gaffed by letting me see a convo with her friend where they were cracking pidgin like say na first language LOL.

Aareonakakanfo:



Mistura is the name of one of those skreps in my hood back then but the m.o.fo actually feels like a beyonce.God help us!

This brings me back to what IyaIode was talking about yesterday, Yoruba movies are not helping situations either.Young kids who watch their favorite movie stars do these things end up trying to emulate them

lmaooooooooooooo omg.

Iwo na, se obirin ni won ni ko lo gbe nile iwe?

IlekeHD:


Oh lawd the subtitles na die!!!

They need to hire professional technical writers.

9jacrip:


LOL skrep toh bad.
You almost sound like you had something with mami Mistu

Media generally they create problem. It takes a person able to take control of their own mind not to drown in the flood of what the media is dishing.

Aareonakakanfo:



Aside the content and the subtitles, what of the way they act in these movies.Its just like the way some of us use to try performing those jet-li stunts when were young.Kids try to emulate movie stars they love and if they see a movie star pronouncing words a particular way, they will also do the same
