4everGrand:What they refuse to understand is that intelligence is far more important than strength. They abandoned the initial and keep applying the latter. Meanwhile, have not even seen, heard anything, act or event about them to justify their bravery. |

Diaryofnaija: Blaine Harden : "The saving grace in Nigeria's religious split is the Yoruba. The tribe serves as a kind of religious buffer, noisy but not explosive. Simplified : (This is where the positive remarks stop. Since Yoruba is the only majority tribe that has a considerable amount of both Muslims and Christians, they act indeed as a religious buffer for Nigeria) As much as they relish escalating an inconsequential disagreement into a full-blown screaming match, the Yoruba are not inclined to die in the name of either Christ or Mohammed. They were a most reluctant participant in the Biafra war.Simplified : (That's calling one spineless, uncourageous, gutless, namby-pamby,and lacking in will power. For how can one discribe me as making all the noise and explosion in social discussions, yet indecisive and cold in matters that determine my existence, life and condition , i.e the civil war? That's just a clever way to insult people.) Yoruba Muslims enjoy their beer; Yoruba Christians set no record for church attendanceā¦ Simplified : (Muslims are known for their disdain for alcohol and Christians are known for service punctuality, here, he just labeled a section of Nigeria as very passive and without character . It's a clever way to insult people. |

ZUBY77:You're getting it wrong, sir. It's not about British or American English. It's all about perfect grammatical expressions, considering his professional status (an American journalist). However, I'm surprised that you didn't find it appalling that he was trying to emasculate a tribe in Nigeria, you rather found my statement terrible. |

[quote author=saxywale post=41545877] okay. I missed out that part. I just read the article again, and there was no grammatical I believe it all boils down to subject verb agreement. in the sentence, YORUBA was used as a noun,hence it should have a plural form YORUBAS and a corresponding auxiliary verb that suits that tone.example YORUBAS are,not YORUBA Is.....i stand corrected, I am an engineer after all not a linguist |
