The track on his 2nd album "Rise and Fall" featuring Sting was quite good too.
Does anyone here like it ?

I will forgive her, afterall God has forgiven my SIN through Christ Jesus my Lord.
However, the marriage will be at an end.

no.

I feel she's averagely attractive, and those eyes are nothing special.

I believe language is a marker of cultural identity, therefore as Africans we shouldn't discard our own languages. While it is okay to learn English, French, Arabic, Portuguese,Spanish etc we just use them to speak with the rest of the world. But preserve our own languages for the sake of cultural identity, pride and distinction. The day an Igbo/Yoruba/Haus stops speaking their language, that day they give up their ethnic identity. Any Africans who give up their ethnic identity, have also given up their Africanity, hence they become black skinned Ennglish/French/Portuguese/Arabs. In fact, they will become neither African, nor Arab or European, but a Hybrid people. That's just my views.

PS People please be aware that the Nigerian Educational Research Development Council(NERDC) and the National language Centre(NLC) have their own programs on language development for Nigeria. They work with 9 major Nigerian languages: Fulfude(Fulani), Izon(Ijaw), Yoruba, Hausa, Edo, Igbo, Efik/Ibibio, Kanuri and Tiv, if I remember correctly. In addition. several states also have their own language programs eg Rivers state uses Khana and Gokana(Ogoni languages), Ikwere etc. Several smaller ethnic groups also have their own language development associations(Idoma and Igede in Benue state, Ebira/Igbira in Kogi state, Urhobo in Delta state etc). These people produce their own newspapers/newsletters, Bible passages in their own languages. Note that the Northern states routinely use Hausa in their state houses of Assembly, Ogun state House of Assembly uses Yoruba every Wednesday for deliberations, Anambra or Abia State House of Assembly uses Igbo on Wednesdays for its deliberations. I believe this is a good thing, sates where more than one language is spoken can use their languages within the local government area for council deliberations on certain days. Thsi favours a bilingual/trilingual system wher we have (Mothertongue + Pidgin + English). I propose this system across Nigeria.

Qapla!

Happened to me, very painful betrayal especially as I was the one counselling him concerning his own relationship. We were all in a choir together, and the rest of my friends knew as well. They didn't even feel they did anything wrong, and even the choirmaster took their side. Dis na Naija pipul for you jare. I just fashi all of dem side, good riddance to bad rubbish.

Qapla!
