Culture › Re: How Carnival, Efik Calabar Culture Was Transported To Caribbean by alloy123: 8:23am On Jan 09, 2021 |
I respect your brain power on this topic but i know name like Effiom is typical of the Efiks but names like DUKE,HOGAN AND HENSHAW were imported names. jjhnja44es: Efiks enslaved and sold mostly Ibibios ,some present day Central Cross river, and Igbos from the hinterland who were captured by Arochukwu and sold to Efiks to be sold to the European Merchants. Some Efiks at the bottom of society were also sold by elite Efiks . Efik culture was dominant and more influential. whether most of the slaves were Efiks or not, Efik culture and methods survived in the Americas.
I think a good example would be the fact that the English culture survived and thrived in North America even though the English were fewer in number. For example,you would be hard pressed to find a pure English descendant American founder . Most white Americans today are actually German,Dutch ,Irish,Scottish,Italian descendants who adopted English names to fit in , as oppose to the original English whose culture was Dominant though had smaller population. Donald Trump , George Bush, John Kennedy,Hulk Hogan are not English blood like George Washington , Bill Clinton,Abraham Lincoln, or Andrew Jackson. And in the Akwacross area today you can see the same pattern played out as Ibibio and annang adopted original Efik names and methods .names such as Bassey , Essien, Ekanem,Edet, Inyang, Etim, Edem,Ansa,Ekeng,, etc. They were not allowed to adopt some elite Anglo Efik names such as Ironbar, Duke,Henshaw, Hogan,Yellow-duke,Archibong, Effiom, etc. Those names were maintained in small circles and traced to lineage. |
Crime › Re: PHOTOS : How Do I Track A Fraudulent POS Transaction? by alloy123: 8:02am On Jan 09, 2021 |
This is all about two side of a coin.if you are decent does not make other POS operators decent like you.A colleague's salary was swept off his account as we were paid and through his bank assistance on tracking,its was discovered that the issue arose from where he used POS and detailed were given to him for him to use any legal means to get the fraudster that made the withdrawal..Two things are involved here,you report to the Police and the Police will now hunt for the CONFIDENCE MAN and some POS operators work hand in hand with fraudsters or they themselves are fraudsters.In all businesses,we have addle eggs and decent people.May God help us not to be victims. honesty4Nigeria: please stop displaying ignorance. it is even the POS agent that should be weary of your useless USSD transfer. after withdrawing from POS do you dash them your ATM card? does the agent help you impute pin? any sensible POS agent always reject USSD transfer. |

Bro,its not a misconception about ganja as per se irrespective of those named TITLES you mentioned..Mind you,weed smokers do not smoke it in moderation just like what we got from the medically refined ones maybe through drips and the rest..Just google and see the effects of STIMULANT to the neurons CzarChris: Are you serious right now? This misconception about weed smokers is quite funny to say the least. I personally know judges, captains of industries, professors, bankers who smoke weed heavily. That you see a few touts on the road misbehaving shouldn't give you such ungodly idea that weed smokers a no do gooders in life.
@Emperormartin, leave your Dad alone, forcing him to quit smoking weed may lead to his early demise. Just pray he quits at his own time and pace. |

Catholic have assisted so many but few made it look somehow nowadays..My former Boss benefited so much from the church...from daily feeding to his Masters level in education.. Sagaciousp: I'm not a Catholic, but one church in Nigeria I admire most is the Catholic Church. There is this Catholic Church close to my residence, they have a mini flat(Bungalow) close to the Church auditorium, this house has housed a non Catholic with his six children for more than three years now. Every Sunday mass will be ongoing and the man and his family would dress and pass right in front of the church auditorium to living faith church(Winners chapel) where they worship.
Which other denomination tolerates such? 4 Likes |

Stimulant has its demerits like causing harms to the neurons and smokers cannot smoke in moderation because of it addiction but he may find it very hard to stop now though its stoppage is always gradual not instantaneously but you just ve to advise him to reduce its daily intake. |

Hope,she has not been using POS services on street because some of those POS guys work hand in hand with fraudsters..Their method is when you give them your card especially those inside KIOSK,they will use a phone to snap both side of the card and with that alone,your card has become unsafe.They used that method and cleared a colleague salary with the same said bank.Sorry,if you approach the said bank,something can be done if you want to know more. |
