kai rabu dan iska. Dan ubanshi wa ye ke taimakon yan arewa anan forum din in ba niba? Amma daga fadin ma'anan sambo sai ya kira ni KABILA?!? Kasan ma ye ma'anan kabila kuwa? . . .Look at that ediot calling me kabila?!? Sitting in the comfort of 'west' while his brothers are blowing up things with IED and chanting anti-westernization.

He should take the next flight out of USA in protest of the western education and civilasation to the stone-aged desert where he belongs. Nonsense!

I rest my case for now for your intervention.



Negro_Ntns:

Kabila irin ka, me kasani game da al'adan mu?


Rhino, ba zage a cikin rubuccin da Maple ya yi maka.

Ka yi hakuri ka daina zage zage, ban ga amfanin zage iyaye anan ba. Ka ji ko?

Maple, ka da ka lura da zagin, manta da Rhino kawai! Ka ji?

The OP and the first respondent are one and the same person.
HE is just a rabble rouser trying to cause confusion where there in none.

I go with MAPLE in all of these because names are important in Africa. Traditional names among the Hausas are never meant to be derogatory, they are celebratory.

^ your father is the rable rouser here not to know the difference between the OP and the first responder. I guess you smoked hashish as your dinner last night.
Brain-dead Moroon!

Rhino== you have stayed far too long on the BOLA sniffing toxic fumes and this what we get as a result.
You need help as fast as possible before `you enter town`.

@ Negro Ntns and Maple, thanks for the information. I was just very curious about that name as I hadn't heard a similar sounding Hausa name before.


@ knotty, I am not the same as Rhino.5dm, and I don't speak any Hausa. Please desist from these kind of nonsensical claims.

Alright, I have new question for Yoruba and Igbo speakers.


What's the meaning/etymology of the name "Animalu" in Igbo?

What's the meaning/etymology of the name "Shittu" in Yoruba? Also, the name "Bimbo"?


Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks in advance.

bimbo is abimbola meaning wealth.

shittu may be of arabic origin.

whats the reason for the question, if you dont mind my asking.
Re: What does "Sambo" mean in Hausa? Question for Hausa speakers by PhysicsQED(m): 2:15pm On Jul 19, 2011
Thanks for the explanation.


The reason for asking is purely curiosity. When I come across Asian names that sound like curse words or funny phrases, I sometimes want to know what the name is really supposed to convey to those who understand that particular Asian language. Usually, I'm not able to find out online. The same thing applies here with some Nigerian names, but it never occurred to me to just ask until the issue of the VP's name came up.
