₦airaland Forum

I am still waiting if anyone has information on the Youwin scheme. Has anyone benefited from the 50,000,000,000 Naira scheme ?

Has any Nigerian benefited from the Youwin scheme GEJ spent 50 Billion Naira on ?

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-779846.0.html

If yes, then please provide us with proof, I mean tell us the details

If No, then why would any sense Nigerian want subsidy to be removed thinking that the FG would provide more infrastructures fro Nigerians with the extra savings

Maybe, Just maybe. I mean there is no harm in trying

I think we should Just put everything in the hands of Allah

mbatuku2:
It's not direct in meaning, but by inference.

From the Igbo point of view, the world=Igbo and Igbo=world

OK I see. Thanks

great culture.

Your translation of the above is wrong: Igboegbulem (literarily) means "Let not Igbo kill/destroy me". In translating and understanding the prefix/suffix "Igbo" in Igbo names, it is important to know that in Igbo world view, Igbo is the same as the World or Universe. So a name like Igbokwe should be rightly translated as "If the World concurs". Igboezuo or Igboezue means "the assembly of the (whole) world/universe.

I hope this helps.

hmmm sorry I just want to understand something here

So in Igbo Language, The word "Igbo" means "World" or "Universe" ?

Just want to be sure before I discuss about it. Thanks

It is actually, When last have you been to ogun or edge of lagos ?

people don't leave in lagos again to work in lagos

Majority of the people live in OYO OR OGUN and work in lagos

In fact house prices in Oyo and ogun is third to abuja and lagos/port harcourt city.

A house rent for 600,000 Niara in Lagos/year is not 400,000 in Ibadan per year

Signor Zax:
I kept wondering What? Why? Which? When? How & Where? The name 'Dabiri' came to be associated with the Yorubas?
I'm an Ijaw guy that understands the Yoruba language perfectly.
Dabiri is an Ijaw name through and true.
Da - Father
Biri - land, side, middle, centre, stomach or half (depending on the context in which it is used)
Therefore, Dabiri should mean: Father's Land, Father's Side, Father's Stomach, Father's Centre or Father's half depending on the context of use. But most often, it is used to mean Father's House in my native Ijaw language.
As for the Dabiris found in Ikorodu LGA of Lagos State, I'm 100% sure that they are settled by the river bank or waterside, which most likely depicts that they are of Ijaw origin that went fishing around the water.
You can check with anyone WHO KNOWS THEIR HISTORY VERY WELL. I know what I am saying.

LOL just like awori is awomire water loving people abi !!

Torch1:
if the name "Dabiri" in Yoruba region is from Arab as you said, then what is the meaning in Arabic language?? If the meaning is the same that means it is not a Yoruba name but Arab name as we have Suleiman, Ibrahim, etc.

Yeap, it has a meaning in Iranian language and also in yoruba

they have different meaning as I said before,

Igbo, yoruba iran, ijaw etc have dabiri but it means different things in different langauge

Abagworo:
The problem with some of you is the belief that only your dialect exists.You have really annoyed mr with what you just posted.I have never even heard of "Dabere" but I know it might exist somewhere in Northern Igboland.I only know Dabiri.

are dabiris from anambra by any chance

i mean we know names like okoye and co are anambra names

thanks

semid4lyfe:
Anyone here recalls some year back when a middle-aged Ijaw man by the surname Dabiri came looking a relative of his and he was introduced to Abike Dabiri and she burst his bubble telling him she was Yoruba and couldn't possibly be his relative?

It was shown on NTA Newsline then

I remember as well

well that is what happens when you claim,

Like every culture in Nigeria, we share similar names among others

in fact I just found out that Ikeja is an Igbo name

Ikeja is also a yoruba name. so you see the similarity

Abike is a Nupe name

it also a yoruba and edo name

mbatuku2:
Take note.

I hope you have taken note from my correction as well

Amujale:
Lets put things into their proper perspective

There seems to be different forms of Lukumis;

Olukumi in an Edoid context

Lukumí from a  Yorubic Afro-Cuban (sic) perspective

Olukumi is not in edo context because Olu has no meaning in edo (not sure)

Lukumi is a corrupt form of Olukumi

mbatuku2:
^
I strongly doubt the veracity of the meaning your provided. Any links?

I use to believe the name has ijaw roots as a result of the suffix 'biri'.

There was a story of a man from rivers who trace Abike Dabiri to Lagos when she was still working with NTA to claim her as his long lost niece. Unfortunately, Abike denied him.

why wouldn't abike deny him 

I have told you the meaning in yoruba, It might mean another in Igbo or Ijaw or whatever

That is the meaning in Yoruba

dabiri in ijaw means fathers side

dabiri in igbo mean lean on

Dabiri in yoruba mean the founder of a settlement

it each is own.

There is no correlation between Dabiri of the yorubas and edos and dabiri of the igbo or the ijaws

Dabiri, tinubu, obanikoro, ajose, williams etc all this are awori names

for yoruba speakers, pronounce the very well and you would know the meaning

da bi iri

da= found, created etc

bi = here

iri = Iri or ibi meaning here

Amujale:
Topic  suggest Olukumis is an old Yoruba Language [size=5pt](sic) [/size] Yes? Present the linquistic  relationship through to our Ministry of Education. . .  Friendly advice, the notion that Olukumi brings up isnt that old and at the same time it   isnt something many  havent heard of before; we are aware of the Lukumi people and as the language relates to its Yoruba connection.

Its simply indeed . . .  We needs official clarification

oh i see,

amor4ce:
What is the meaning of Dabiri?
Which part of Yorubaland is this name from or most common?
Is it not Yoruba?

Dabiri "Dabiri"(Da-bi-ri/Da-ibi-ri)  means "first to discover a place and settle in" in yorubaland. It was from the arabs the yoruba got the name from just like many other yoruba names like Haruna (fulani) sekiru etc

Dabiri is more or less used among the indigenes of lagos, they are used among the Aworis, Egun and Ijebus. Most other part of yoruba land do not use it.

You can ask more dabiris here

Abagworo:
Dabiri has most likely Igbo or Ijaw roots.I will like to know the Yoruba meaning.In Igbo it means "lean on" or "trust".Dabiri,Dabirim,Dabirichi,Dabirinna,Dabirichukwu.It is a rear surname but exists in Igboland.I have also met someone from Bayelsa that goes by that name.If it has no Yoruba meaning then they likely have Igbo or Ijaw roots.

Interesting, Dabiri is an arab name but has a meaning in yoruba, meaning first to settle in

Northerners Please leave the Niger delta and move up north, WEST OR EAST

There is no point in wasting life

Northerners are humble people and we do not fight or cause trouble.

Amujale:
You should know now, is anyone thinking of presenting the "Lukumi is Yoruba" rave thru the correct channels; present this to the population. Outside of religion what does the average day person stand for?

My brother, hmmm sorry I don't really understand what you are saying

But if i am correct, You are talking of the olukumi representation in yoruba and what they stand for this modern day.

Well, Right now I think the Olukumi are now anioma Ibos and as such can not really have representation to present day yoruba people. Majority of them bare names like Emeka and co

What they stand for these days is mainly the FG presence in Ugbodu town. according to the facebook forum discussion among them, They don't really care about there culture now. They are more of less looking for the development of there region.

To find out more, you can discuss with them on this forum

I hope that answers your question, If no please make it clearer thanks

Beaf:
Dude, you are no better than a fungal infection, but you don't realise it.
This thread is about realisation, but you utterly lack it.

Do you know what a fungal infection is ? Don't talk like you are unintelligent I expect more from you.

Now listen and listen good !

The reality is that Nairaland has affect ME TOO so what is all this fungal infection you are talking about.

Silly Nairaland Ibo people talk of killing yorubas and in lagos making them a minority, they say all sort of things about yorubas being dirty, lazy, tribalistic etc. Do you expect me to just be looking at them even after 3 years hoping the same posters would change ?

All of them have probably schooled in Lagos, interact with my people then come on the internet to call us dirty.

Ask yourself this, why would I CLAIM TO LOVE IBOS THEN BRING OUR THREAD TO PORTRAY THEM BAD.
I throw that question to you beaf
Be truthful to yourself.

Some even take up yoruba and Northern Monikers just for the purpose to insult The ethnic group called yorubas. Why would one be that evil ?

Others Igbos insulting yorubas, HAVE THEY THOUGHT OF THE DAMAGE IT HAS DONE TO US. Not to talk of me an Awori man that interact with Ibos on a daily bases.

Don't come here to judge alj harem ok !

I am Awori and I have interacted with different ethnic groups migrating to my fore fathers land and I accept it only to come on the Internet of ingrates Ibo talking of killing.

Now either you respond truthfully or just ignore this post.

Maybe if likes of south east , ezeuche aka pointB and co stop then this forum would have some sanity

As for me, I would simple leave this forum, once i sense any tribal ranting from Ibo people then expect me and I would hit a lot harder, trust me na

asha 80:
haha you have finally revealed your ethnic group haha.

as for igbos starting tribal bashing in nairaland i laugh in swahili.

HAVE I NOT BEING SAYING IT all this dayz

Beaf:
In the developed World, people like you are actually sent to jail for their online behaviour. I see that happening too in Nigeria, its just a matter of time before someone takes legal action on something said online, it might not be on NL, but it will open eyes and focus minds.

The way a person behaves online or anywhere for that matter, says something about their real life psyche and morality. Most vile people online are either vile in the real World, or are total cowards who take advantage of anonimity; either way, they are scum.

1. Why would I be jailed for bring out an article ? I have not incited any hate chant or whatever

2. Who told you I am not in the developed world ?

3. Do you mean those that incite hate against others should not be jail, what of the poster above YOU POINTB

Amujale:
@OP "what took yoU So Long"!!!

Is this even REAL?This has to be one of those nollywood stories. 
Interestingly, Nollywood are world leader's in the filming industry.

teach!

what took me so long for what ?

do u have any question concerning the Olukumi people ? I would be willing to answer

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=787469.msg9425205#msg9425205 date=1319660153]The people who YOU call olukumi are igbos, period. Google them and see if they have any site of people from those areas you are claiming arent Igbo and lets see if they say they are not or that they are yoruba. Quit deceiving yourself.[/quote]And so

this thread is not about igbo in general but olukumi. yes they are igbo and i have not disclaim that in any form.

or have i ?

nku5:
I know u have no explanation. Let me tell you if I evicted that debtor tenant. Who do you think would be source of that measure? Me or people like u. My job has taken me to rwanda and sierra leone. In kigali my cab driver told me stories about how a radio station religously devoted itself to spreading hate broadcasts and when the time was ripe all it took was the death of their president and hell was let loose. If you don't know ASK! Unlike the people on the list who are superficially brash, you are deeply insidious and dark in your motives. I really pity u

Well sorry if I have deeply cut to ur heart, truly I am because i am not a tribalist and I do not relate to people outside the way U perceive me to be.

This forum is not to be taken serious.I travel a lot. Thus I have interacted to people from various ethic group in Nigeria. I have very close friend of Igbo origin

What happened on this site is nothing to write home about. When you rubbish or talk bad of my people, for years, Do you expect me to be looking at you ? NO

WHAT happened on this site is what I call

CAUSE AND EFFECT !!

I started reading Nairaland since 2006, and I have watch the Igbos on the forum insult and talk rubbish, then 2010 the yorubas retaliated which I join in. heck it serves Nl Igbos right.

We have IDEEIOOT like Ezeuche aka PointB now and Mekkuusssxx etc Nchara, Akin-egba babalola. Ask them why they have been inciting hate against Hausa and Yorubas ?

Read Ileke Idi's post back then, SHE WAS NOT A TRIBALIST, until ideeiot like the ones mentioned above

Read Jason's post, I followed his post when he joined and how those Ideeiot turn him around

Read Step1's post, that is my personality and I am not tribal at all.

Currently as I even type, PointB chyz101 etc are still doing the samething I am complaining about. DO you expect others to keep quiet ?


READ

Republic report

sun newspaper
Odili news

Modern ghana etc this are news agencies owned by Igbos, you need to read the hate they type about yorubas YOU WOULD CRY. for real. Infact they have demonise Hausas now.

In fact ever since I joined, ezeuche and mekkuxx that open tribalistic thread every other week reduced it because of the fear of what I might open to counter there claims.

Nchara a professional blogger engaging in tribalism against yorubas

Afam4eve before becoming a mod, doing the same (Thank God he is changed)

etc What of Ander Uweh.

I read Igbo forums a lot and I talk to them of facebook so they can see my face, so I know there true feelings.

Again I have no explanation other than

CAUSE AND EFFECT. Wish you the best

nku5:
@ alj harem - I'm surprised that a lying two faced cyber leach like you can even attempt to talk about someone else taking an online forum seriously. You are awake 24hrs a day arguing back and forth claiming to kanuri, igbo and every other tribe except your own and u get mouth to yarn. You that spends all his time struggling to incite people to curse themselves and waste a valuable forum. Its you that deserves pity pal. Now kindly Zap off with your filthy opinion

You should ask yourself what would make someone go tribal at the first place after joining 2010

If you are truthful to urself then U would see reason

I have no explaination really but all i have to say is NEVER TAKE THIS SITE SERIOUS. chikena

nku5:
To be honest it affected my real life too. A tenant of mine in lagos earned herself a quit notice. she was nasty and behind on her rent but paranoia about riots and my property being taken over because i am not an indigene sort of tipped the scale. But not to worry i am back to my senses and gave her more time

You have to be joking me. Na wa o.

To be honest, I really pity people like YOU !!!!

If you take this site serious then all I can do is SMH

A faceless one for that matter.

You should have chased her away now and see what God would do to you. I mean u want to interact with someone based on Comments you read on a faceless forum. how silly is that ?

For all I know, I can form a username now and call myself kalabari and speak the language that's it I am a kalabari man, so you as an ikwerre man would develop animosity against me just because someone using an ID falsefully calling himself a kalabari commented on a faceless forum.

Silly site indeed

My friend ndu_chucks, you'd be shocked who I know personally in the Nigerian govt and how high they sit. I just decided to let this one out because this senseless act of hounding Beaf here is getting out of hand.
Whatever happened to personal beliefs. Make me Nigerian president tomorrow and I still won't drop my beliefs. 
Must all of us drop our personal beliefs just because our friend is in government? All my friends (including those in government) know my views about Nigeria, and those views won't change because someone has to stand for something. All Nigerians are suffering because no one wants to stand for something, yet they expect positive change. I'm laughing.

BTW I've decided to cut down (or eliminate) cursing from my comments on nairaland. It just seems like the right thing to do as a Christian. 

do you know dangote or adenuga as well ?

Maybe Ibeto, Mr Onlytruth who knows all the high and mighty in the society

Anyway how body ?

@Noisless and Odumchi

Why are you 2 bring Igbo to this matter

when did Olukumi become Igbo or are u 2 blind to read what the Obi of ugbodu said ?

Whether they are igbo or not is NONE OF MY BUISNESS AND NOT FOR THIS TOPIC

educate yourselves a bit and learn to know history and ethic groups, If you do not want to, then you 2 should not be on this thread because it clearly was not meant for you 2.

Since none of u is Olukumi, then leave and stop putting Igbo in every single thread on Nairaland. I don tire
