People from other tribes and those in foreign lands like myself, would love to know the meaning of the above titles as often use everywhere in Politics section...

Feel free to add other titles and it's meaning so others can understand next time....

The first 42 views of every thread, who're they, mods? I've noticed the pattern on this forum: if one opens a thread the view count starts from 42. I've seen 28 before but it was a rarity.

On topic: Ofe mmanu is a derogatory word Igbos call Yorubas. It stems from the Yoruba love for making oily soups. The word 'oil' in Igbo is 'mmanu' hence the association. The other word 'ofe', means soup.
Some sellout moderators here use the word filter to censor the word when written without a space to appear as 'Yoruba' thereby defeating the purpose of its use.

IPAD: A clever use of the acronym Independent People Of Biafra(Usage of the original first letters might get censored). By now everyone knows who they are and what they stand for. Since nairaland has clamped down on the spread of their propaganda, their identifying acronym must've been added to the list of verboten terms.

Ugandans: Never heard this term, I'm sure you mean 'upandan'. It's an illiterate way of spelling the action 'up and down'. Made popular during the Don Jazzy vs Olamide beef in January, Nigerians took a liking to the phrase and use it as a lazy way of spelling. Used highly on twitter due to character restrictions.

Oh. I remember this event. Didn't think it would have an effect on nairalanders' daily habits. Thanks for the memory.

I will tell u of only one. iPad, IPad is an acronym for the pro Biafra touts who claim to be Jews from Israel. They are a group of people in the east that suffer from identity crisis, in other words, they have no history, so they decided to adopt the Jewish history so they can feel better about themselves. Also u can identify one by the shape of there heads, it's normally so flat, like this...

When you read any post bearing those derogatory terms, you can be sure the poster is a charlatan not minding where he is from or what point he's fighting.
I pity the future of a nation like ours filled with so many young people who do not want to channel their intellect into productive and life-improving engagements.
But my joy is that among the e - fighters across the tribes, "We" the peace lovers will continue to have our handshake beyond the "BRIDGES"
...Peace profound!
