Hi people, I am so happy to have found this site and I do really enjoy visiting it and I hope that I will be joining lots of interesting discussions. I already look forward to doing it.

Ìbùkún! Love the way you spelt your name.
You are sure going to enjoy nairaland, just post in any thread that catches your fancy and enjoy!

hmm welcome gurl!!! love ur name

welcome to nl girl.

your right on bro

Thanx soooo much for your warm welcomes Yes, I chose the name because I always pray to GOD to bless me, my friends and family. And I have to say that although I`m neither Nigerian nor African but I do really feel so good whenever I´m on this site, especially because of some very interesting and wise discussions. Since friends of Nigeria are also welcomed to register I decided to do it. My man is from Naija and so I am learning quite a lot about its culture, customs and so on and I really like it.

ibk what's up with the stress sign on your name

[/quote]ibk what's up with the stress sign on your name[quote]

Well Mubowa, I checked up an online Yoruba dictionary for the word "blessing" and that was what I saw. I think the stress signs belong to the Yoruba alphabet. They tell you how to stress the word cause sometimes a word can be the same but has a different meaning if the stress signs are placed on other letters. At least that`s what I heard. Hope I could answer your question

if you want people to know how to pronounce your name very well, this is how you should have explain in english.
I/BU/KUN THIS IS A THREE SYLLABLE WORD, WHEN A VOWEL STAND ON IT OWN IT IS USUALLY PRONOUNCED LONG. I HOPE YOU KNOW A CONSONANT CAN'T STAND ON IT OWN. BUT YOURS IS AN EXCEPTION, WHEN A SYLLABLE ENDS WITH A VOWEL LETTER IT IS USUALLY STRESS LONG, BUT I CAN SEE AN EXCEPTION AGAIN. WHEN THERE IS A VOWEL BTW TWO CONSONANT LETTER IN A SYLLABLE IT IS USUALLY A SHORT SOUND. THIS RULE I USE IS CALLED THE VOWEL RULE WE ALSO HAVE THE SYLLABLE RULE AND THE ACCENT RULE

mubowa, where were you when i was banging yoruba in jss.

hey welcome

@ MUBOWA

Thanx Mubowa for explaining me so well, now I know more. As I said before, I`m not an Nigerian. I`m learning a lot about Nigeria but yet I don`t know everything. Anyway, the most things I learn is about Edo, cause my man is from Edo State. But thanks again for the clear explanation of the different grammar rules.

Lol @ suprted.
Ibukun, enjoy.

@ suprted, firstly i can't pronoun that name secondly i think that name can be only suitable for your location because i've never heard that name before, what do you mean by banging yoruba ain't nobody can bang yoruba when i still speake it or do you mean you're f***ing yoruba. what is your abinibi name and location

mubowa , uve never heard ibukun b4, lol, i was even thinkin its one of the most common yoruba names

someone is passing a wrong message to her self because i never said i've never heard ibukun befor, i actually have a friend that bears the namedid you see me write@ suprted, that is whom am talking about not ibukun or either you.
