You have issues.

It is just a slang. Work on your self-esteem.

Don't let any word reflect as real issues.

MJBOLT:

continue destroying,mr destroyer till the day you will land in serious trouble.

Why do yorubas like using this sentence. Do you know what it means to say this?

Only people who are bastards will allow someone say this an Escape saying this to him or her.

I once destroyed (let me use that word) a stranger once for saying this statement at a bus station, and bystanders said it was just a normal saying. What is so normal to tell someone If them born am well

I'm trying to stop my girlfriend who's a Yoruba girl from making this statement. She has never said to me and I've told her the day she does it I'm going to do something to her and I mean it. I've made her understand that she'll be drawing a very big line when she says that to me.

Yesterday she came over, I asked her how was the cold?
She said it was too much, I told her I bathed cold water and what about her.... She said "who born me? (Referring to herself).

Man what is wrong, I have heard preachers... So called men of God saying things about Enemies saying "they no born am well"

I don't believe that is a true man of God.

I'm not from the West but I believe people need to control what they say, how they say it, and when. They curse people a lot on that side, how does someone survive by bringing out curses everyday from their belly?

Why would anyone accept that sentence from anyone except they didn't give birth to the person properly? Or are people from there suffering from a low self esteem. You should know the people you se this statement on, because if they aren't from your place i.e yorubaLand. They might react and put you in real danger.

Have you used this word before? Why do you use the word?

so if someone curses you,the next thing is to hit/fight them i just hope you wont hit someone and the person collapse immediately.

Charleys:


The main reason for this thread is to advise people to know who and who they curse with this. Because they are going to get into trouble if that person is not from their region.

This OP is suffering from very low self esteem that borders on depression. 'If dem born you well' is not a curse! It is used to dare people.

The expression is used in most cases when an aggressor is trying to dare the weaker party to take a step that will warrant a punishment from the aggressor

It usually predates a fight.

Charleys:



The question is why do they say it.

If anyone decides to date someone, then he should be ready to receive what's coming towards him.

So you accept the saying. A person with low self esteem will be the one who doesn't react to that saying

huptin:


Its like saying in english, ' if you know you are not a bastard, cross this line''

uninspired07:
Me I don’t understand what OP is yapping about oo. It doesn’t mean anything special. OP, have you considered leaving that your Yoruba girlfriend & dating someone from your own tribe who won’t say “who born you well”?

bolayei:
Oga you have anger issues. Is it okay to say "if you get forehead cross this line"..? Ti won ba bi e da quote me and make sure you leave address so I can come to be destroyed.

Don't you know most people speak in English the way they speak their language? As in word for word. I know a Yoruba guy that say pls help me kill the light instead of please turn the light off.

Don't be so serious you already have a serious govt

I hope this is not another tribal thread. I will not advice any woman to be with you as you are dangerous

Why do yorubas like using this sentence. Do you know what it means to say this?

Why would anyone allow someone say this and walk away saying this to him or her.

This is wrong, I have heard preachers... So called man of God saying things about Enemies saying "they no born am well" on TV. (and the members answered amen)
I lost my respect for him at once, never went back .

Charleys:


If them born me well is that what you're saying?
Why wouldn't anyone take it seriously.

bolayei:


It's a saying as long as its not confrontational then it's nothing to take seriously. If it's confrontation then it's a different ball game.

If one decides to take how we communicate seriously back home then na to dey fight always.

You strike me as a man that doesn't take nonsense but just be calm in your approach. I used to get vexed when people make some statements too but I realised its just our figure of speech. I grew up in surulere lagos off adeniran ogunsanya and back then people from shitta, aguda, ijesha, lawanson which is still in surulere will casually insult a whole generation. I got into a lot of fights till I realise that we all have different upbringing and environment matters alot. So take a chill pill if your girl haven't used it till now she will most likely not use it.

So calm down and enjoy life and stay focused. If you are patterned woman no go make you vex. First time someone called me dick head in London police arrest me because I burst bottle for him head only to realise its a normal saying since I live in a village where people behave differently

So there is this fulani friend of mine that jokingly pointed a loaded gun at his yorugba friend who responded with "them no born you well " oboyyeh, like a movie, I swear' the fulani man blew his friend's hand off.
