And if she still meets her today after 63 years, she must kneel or bow to greet her cheesy

Colonialism nonsense

@coolcharm, if she meet d queen 100 yrs to com, she must bow fr her it's not colonialism bt our culture. Mind u, as she grows older, d queen is also growing. As much as d queen remains d queen, even if she's younger, d woman will still bow fr d queen.

My dear...


"...the Igbos in Yoruba land have learnt..."


These are alternative forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Both are acceptable, but learned is often used in both British English and American English, while learnt is much more common in British English than in American English. ... Leap, lean, spill, and others are also verbs of this type.

Well, we dont know the circumstances at that time.

It is possible that most of her peers will 'froze' on sighting even olubadan of Ibadan let alone Queen Elizabeth.

Its different NOW because we are now very exposed.

Not colonial nonsense she's being respectful according to the Yoruba culture. The igbos in Yoruba land as learn to practice our culture by being respectful otherwise you will be disrespected and rebuked

Must you bring Igbos into your nonsense,You this dirty looking youth or old woman sef? Are you stupid or mentally unstabled? Which one is your problem. Always bringing meaningful yorubas to disrepute on Nairaland with your senseless comments. Dirty thing.

The lady you quoted is a renowned idiot. Someone's Grammar sucks, yet she is only interested in throwing tribal slurs around on Nairaland instead of working on her "migraine-inducing English"

Correcting who? A 'tribalistic' idiot. Check all her comments on Nairaland. If she had used the energy and commitment she uses to throw tribal slurs on Nairaland,her life would have been better.

Who uses "as" in place of "has"?
Who says igbos "has" instead of "have"
You think it's just "learned" or "learned" is the only "blooper" in her comment?

I really don't check someone's *English* on Nairaland but the lady in question is a renowned *tribalistic* idiot,who derives maximum satisfaction and joy from throwing *tribalistic* slurs around.

Colonialism nonsense

Was she the same age as the queen then? Can you compare her age qith the queen's now? Haven't you seen Dolapo Osinbajo the wife of the VP greeting Yakubu Gowon, Daddy GO Adeboye, Jagaban Tinubu, Bisi Akande or even Buhari with her knees on the ground. That is a typical Yoruba woman. How do you greet your parents or their friends? With handshake or slaps? Osu will always be Osu.

"...the Igbos in Yoruba land have learnt..."

If you don't have knowledge abt something you seek for one or make your findings before lampooning someone publicly.

These are alternative forms of the past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Both are acceptable, but learned is often used in both British English and American English, while learnt is much more common in British English than in American English.

Don't be ignorant.


According to her original post:

"...the igbos in the Yoruba land as learned

That is very wrong. She typed "as" instead of "have".

You are extremely ignorant!!!

I'm not the one lampooning her publicly. Go through the texts again.
And by the way:

According to her original post:

"...the igbos in the Yoruba land as learned
That is very wrong. She typed "as" instead of
"have". Whether "learned" or "learnt", she is still wrong.

Your quest for displaying smartness has landed you in a fallacious corner. Be careful next time.

Not everyone will look worn like those in your family in their 60's. Her mother (Chief Mrs Hannah Awolowo died just a while ago at 100 years). I am not angry nor happy at yours looking worn out, but learn to appreciate good things in order to attract one.

That's how you always miss it. Who is talking about yoruba here? In this same visit, at least three different girls presented to the queen the three were the daughters of the then Oba of Lagos, Awolowo and Dr Nnamdi Azikwe.
Which one be yoruba thing. Are the girls in question not old enough to birth you - Mr Methuselah?
