Ihuomadinihu:
It is foolishness if you don't know that Oyibo is an Igboword. It is also foolishness when you fail to realise that no Igbo claims Ashewo to be Igbo. The Igbo word for Ashewo is Akwunakwuna or Iko for side chick and that is what we use in deep igbo conversations.
It is also foolishness when you have refuse to acknowledge that Yoruba,Hausa and Igbo made movies before 1992 but what we know as Nollywood has igbo written all over it. Pls refer to threads about Nollywood.

Stop chest-beating, over nothing, there is nothing like igbo Nollywood. We have d English Nollywood which came out of Yoruba movie industry (Nigerian Cinema) in the 1970s and later become Nigerian movie industry known as (Nollywood). Yorubas founded English Nollywood and Yorubawood. The real Nollywood is the Yorubawood

The Hausa movie industry started theirs in the Northern part later(Hausawood). We all know if we give igbo people an inch, they will go miles. That's exactly what is happening in the Nigerian Movie industry, music industry e.t.c in the south west

But for now, there is nothing like igbo movie industry in the eastern part. English Nollywood comprises all Nigerian Culture not igbo alone. that's why in a Single movie, you can see an Hausa man, Yoruba, Edo 's culture e.t.c

I'm actually cheering her reasoning, she's insinuating that the musician in question familiarise Yoruba population with 'tintin' through 'love wantinti' how did Yoruba come to shop for a word for 'small' in a song they never know exist? Is it a canticle for paradise?

When women give birth in Yoruba, elder would say 'ayo abara bintin' (joy in small body). bi ntin is 'like small' in Yoruba, and there are many way of saying it.

Oh, I usually take that word for obudo, from 'obodoyibo' we often save word in the brain with our our default accent.

ibudo means site for dwellingplace, a foundation. What does obodo means?

absoluteSuccess:


Thanks bigfrancis.

Some words are shared words, you can't claim ownership of such word except your version of it (oyinbo, oyibo) because you can't be the lawyer and still be the final judge at the same time.

But look at ibudo, obudo this word 'ibudo' goes to the foundation of Yoruba itself, and you find it as everyday igbo lingo. Whose word is it?

Even the word igbo is readily available in Yoruba, whose word is it? Who coined these words that we share?

Youth, we are too weak in strenght, we are walled in, we don't want intruders in and don't want to go out.

We are sitting on the fence that divide us saying, 'it is our fence', 'no, it is our fence!'

bigfrancis21:


Lol. Here you go claiming 'obodo' an Igbo word as Yoruba. There's nothing I will not hear on this forum.

absoluteSuccess:


Bigfrancis, you be funny guy wallai. What I'm saying is, the word obudo has the same feature as Ibudo, which is Yoruba for dwellingplace.

I took obodo for obudo, thanks for correcting me on the actual word. I am actually saying that there are words that we share that can't be claim by anyone as theirs, except the version found in our language.

Quit smoking higbo++, it is not too good for you. Come back to christian fold and use your keen mastermind for christ. Its better than the mod thing and the (your) igbo agenda.

Jesus loves you.

bigfrancis21:


My point still remains Obodo Oyibo is an Igbo phrase, and Obodo is an authentic Igbo word.
Ok, I hear you sister, brother.

absoluteSuccess:


We are saying the same thing na.

You ehn, hm...

I'm giving you a Pete Edochie killer look but you don't know.

bigfrancis21:


You are quite funny indeed.

By the way, what's going on in Naija now? It must be 9:26pm in Nigeria now. Currently, it is 3:26pm here in the US (eastern time zone). We used to be 5 hours behind Nigerian time but moved our clocks one hour back on midnight of November 2 this month.

bigfrancis21:


I never said 'tini tini' is not Yoruba. Quote me where I said it. However, I only said that, love nwa nti nti which Yorubas pronounce as love wan tin tin is an originally Igbo phrase.

macof:


Yoruba pronounce? I'm still confused as to why you believe yorubas concern themselves with that song

bigfrancis21:


Some Yorubas have recently sang songs named 'love wan tin tin'.

Lol, I always enjoy your troubleshooting and need to be invincible. There's always a 'badman' to turn a thread upside down, you take pleasure in that.

Naija just dey o. Nothing much, its always the same old story, 'nigeria is just about to get better if they can allow buhari to fight corruption'.

Its biafra and music ruling the airwaves o. Please tell igbo guys to be patience, things will be better with time. Let's give those guys few more time.

Hows the United States? Hope you are enjoying Gods own country? Hows study?

As to the time gain, do you people now have to resume an hour earlier or its just a gmt adjustment?

I love you ma brother.

macof:


I see. A pity these aren't popular songs

bigfrancis21:


They do not have to be popular songs. At least now you know Yorubas use the phrase 'love wantintin'.

Ishilove:

I have never heard a proper Yoruba use love wantintin

There are improper Yorubas?

I enjoyed your explanation better than when my geography teacher taught me such things as 'solstice'.

I believe a time will come when students will be able to take excursions to experience and marvel at the thrills of nature.

for now, Satelite channels will do, saving ugly side and beaming the beauty of the land in 3D.

See you around soon.

bigfrancis21:


Thanks pal.

Geography was one subject I barely needed to study for to take an exam. I made an A1 in Geography in my WAEC and GCE in SS2 my mom forced me to take because she wanted me to test the waters before taking the ultimate WAEC in SS3. My father had an Atlas of the world in his cupboard of books which I began studying as a child. I love Geography.

Hey Ishi, how have you been?
