Good performance. Who tell you say, hausa no-know better thing? Thank you guys for voting for Jonathan for a more transparent and accountable future. |
@ Op, Though there were teenage group that called themselves Gidigans. It was an abbrevation for Ogidigan (warriors) May be they later manipulate it to make lagos reflect themselves. Lasgidi, "the home of the warriors" |
Warfy Boy:@hojjima, As a person who used that word before, i can tell you is not quite the same. WE then in Benin, called it LASGITY. Joint abbrevation of Lagos & City. Common among the youths and teens. Grammer school ages. And Benin was nickednamed Baffa or City of Blood.It seems it has evolved to lasgidi, lol. T |
@ op las-gidi, is a slang coined somewhere in the old bendel state,( Benin) by the 1970s Disco- tech generation. They use such slangs as gidigan,(turfguys) and ehele-men.And lasgidi. Sapelociti for sapele, Waffi for warri. etc |
Good read, we have the solutions, is a matter of choices use the best or better fitted persons for the jobs. instead of connections. And less govt, more private and joint ownership businesses. meritocracy did it before. And is there to be used again, if we are serious. |
@Akhenaten, The map is impressive. An Art. I will check that Mr cheikh's book. seems it will be interesting. |
@Ilekedi, Owan be, KOKO-----Gathering.: blood for turgidity(d.i.ck). KOKO (town)-----Gathering together of people or things in space in time for purpose. Itsekhiri Old export and import terminal. |
Iroko ------The woods or lumbers of Oko trees. okogie------prominent leader. okosun-----prominent Osun leader okogun-----prominent Ogun leader or priest etc. |
@ Ileke-Idi please add some more when you can. @All Please contribute some of our cultural words from any, and all ethnic groups that contian OKO. |
@Ileke-Idi, Yes, they do have differences in emphasis in pronunciation. They still retain similarity. OKo is an eminent or prominent (straight tree) OLU-OKO is the king or the most prominent of the eminent trees. Consequently, when oko is used as a prefix to qualify a suffix, it indicates the prominence of the suffix. The opposite is the same if a suffix oko qualifies a prefix. |
Nawa ooo! comparing arm-robbers, Bombers, kidnappers groups to Gays group , that is hilarious |
I can't stop laughing. Funny, funny stuff. Refusal of the endorsement is even more funny. |
okogun maroko sokoto okogie okomu okoma okoho okoro okorodudu |
^^^^ I intended to write WE not Will in the above. |
[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=582516.msg7511961#msg7511961 date=1294786026] ![]() Do I want to know? Can you create a thread about the bolded? Sounds interesting. . . . seems like Edo cultures has/had a lot of influences of many Nigerian cultures. Why is that, apart from obvious pre-colonial conquering. Recognizing similarities should be our goal, but never forgetting our differences should be praised. A nation cannot move on if differences are set aside.[/quote]Hi lekedi, I don't known if you want to know. It seem interesting to me how some root words span across cultures. I don't know much yoruba words. Can you supply some with OKO in it. E.G. LOKOJA, OLOKOYA, KOKO, etc. I agree with you, it is important will honor our differences, just as necessary will embrace our sameness. |
made a mistake there. IDIROKO is yoruba |
The word Edo OKO OKO means Type of tree OKO mean canoe made of the wood OKO means cultivation OKO means package, potential idiroko edo isiloko edo Isoko isoko okonedo edo okoto edo okosun esan okotie itsekhere okolie urhobo okobor edo okocha igbo okonkwo igbo okomwem edo etc etc Please add more words with OKO in it, and it meaning if you know. |

bash673:LOL, Is hard understanding your above diatribe. Anyway, will are not going to determine the connections here on NL. That will be unravelled in due course by the court of law. Meanwhile, we as nigeria citizens should help in every little ways possible to help authority apprehend these murderous terrorists. |
bash673:The matter of there is , or there isn't al qaeda is academic debate. The facts are there are radical Islamic terrorists with the blood of innocent Nigerians on their hand. If you like call them what you like. They are murderers that need to be brought out to face their due justice. |
For you denieing AL-qaeda, If you have problem with the US, take it to them. I don't know while you all find it worthwhile to Blow your brothers and sisters into pieces because of your pecieved slight of your religion by the USA. Violence never solve problem. Violence is evidence of weakness, no matter who exhibit it. |
Pretty soon , the Sudan solution will be inevitable for Nigeria. We cannot continue to live like this. The North want secular society. The south preffer non-secular society. This foundational backbone problem most be solved for we to move ahead. Is not ease to work together when there is no mutuality. The religion-secularist are content with their secular life. The non-secularist does not want to be bordered with the conformities inherent to secularism. So, this is a bad marriage, that divorce will help.[center][/center] |
Thank you president Jonathan, for opening the stolen oil stored in the northern desert-silo for general national supply. Now there is no more artificial fuel scarcity. The estimated quantity of the hounded oil could serve the north for up to 50yrs-60years of energy need in the event of a demise of the nation. People hiding our oil for their future used, when people couldn't get for immediate need. Shame on the perpetrators of that scam. Thieves. |
Unconfirmed rumour in the grape-vine is that GEJ administration had opened the reserve oil hounded in desert silos. The northerners have been pumping national oil underground in the north. Estimated as so much, that it could serve the northerners need for energy in the event of a national break-up for up to 50yrs to60yrs. Thank you President Jonathan for opening those stolen so called reserve-oil for national circulation. |
[quote author=Holla! link=topic=579111.msg7461445#msg7461445 date=1294165639]^^ Since kidnapping and other vices started in the SS/East and has been fast-spreading, how many cases reported in Lagos? these guys have their targets. may be you're the one who needs to wake up and stop anticipating evil[/quote]I don't know how many cases of kidnapping and vices have been reported in Lagos. That is not the issue at hand now. You are right these criminals know their targets. And the Islamic terrorist had proclaimed theirs in open declarations. That they are possessed by their need to Use all non-Muslims for their Islamic satanic blood bath ritual. One can't be too awake to avoid being their victim. |
[quote author=Holla! link=topic=579111.msg7461162#msg7461162 date=1294162555]^^ source please? We don't have to spread stuff like this without claims. The same way someone said 3rd Mainland was about to collapse and the news went round town, even through sms. If a religious person announces such for instance in the name of prophecy, we begin to ask for "where", "when" and "how" etc. But now, seems everyone's taking it hook, line and sinker. Poster, substantiate your claim please[/quote]How much proof do you need? There are blood sucking islamic jihad-st murderer loose in our mix, Where have you been. Wake up and don't be complacent. |
9ja voice:You are a true product of Niggaria, Confused i.diot. |
Uncanny Genius:Hey Terrorist, Don't be afraid, America like to snuff you terrorists at your base before you bring your ugliness to their shore. You brother Mutallab the gay underwear lunatic, will eat pig shit in prison for life. |
Nairaland will be a source for FBI to mine in formations about the jihadsts. There are a lot of them on this thread, and forum spreading disinformation. Shame on you Muslim jihadsts blood suckers. Your days are numbered. |
Niger delta republic or what ever is called will do fine. Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo are the problem of Nigeria. The only good govt in Nigeria when excellence was appreciated, was the minority lead govt of Gowon. That have been the only time the cream of the nation roused to the top. So, have no fear niger delta will do fine .Worry about your prospective nations. |
we have Islamic jihad terrorists in our mix, USA, anybody is duly welcome. Please USA, round these terrorists up and put them in Git mo-bay were they belong. For you non-jihads Muslims, it is your duty to help identify and apprehend these blood suckers. Until you do that, you are one and the same with the terrorists to most, if not all non-Muslims. |
only terrorists sympathisers are afraid and quaking over America getting involved. |
