How many chat apps do one actually need?

I wonder.

Kids already have problem concentrating & focusing on school work.
Adults neglecting spouses/gf/bf/family for chats.

This girl is very funny.

If he's half-white & still needs visa to travel abroad, his dad must be one of the unfortunate oyinbo.

I cannot imagine a child of EU or USA/Canada/Australian/NZ citizen still needing visa to any decent country.

So while you have a bf to shine congo & parasite on you, you still get close enough to another guy to play bf role?

At 19, you're still learning scam story sha.

Black man and poverty mentality...... Guess we learnt nothing from Mark Zuckerberg's humility!

Abeg nor talk before they call you bad belle.

Zuckerberg & his wife just pledged $3b to fight diseases over next 10 years. Diseases that he & generations to come can pay to treat comfortably. But he has chosen altruism.

But black man's life is about wanton consumption. Any little money black man has, next thing is Rolex, Gucci, etc.

Vorpal:
Question one, @when did he find out this secret? And is she aware that you know this secret?
Q2, what was her reaction when you found out this secret? And did she take note of your countenance when you found out this secret or you just bottled it up?

Lastly, whether she decides to shoot you or not. For the sake you got engaged to her, you owe her an explanation as to why you cannot continue with her again. That's is what we call being 'civil' in all things.


Plus did you actually tell her you love her, when in fact, you are married to another woman?

Sir, be a man and apologise to that lady, if need be, refund whatever you owe her she must have 'boxed' you up with in pursuing your masters.

Abeg read Taiwo's account again. Not saying it is the truth but understand it first. He meant he used to love the girl until he found out her dark secret. He did not say he was still in love by the time he married another lady.

Let Taiwo answer the rest of the questions.

Dangote & co want to own Nigeria. We dey look.

The press has no more freedom to report NA casualties.

Karma na serious bi.tch o.

Ngozi123:
I'm sure that the man was born and raised in the UK as it sounds like a gang related crime. They'll label him as a 'Nigerian' because it's bad news; if it was good news, they'd only be too happy to label him as British. Silly people .

Nor mind them. Ask how many who won Olympic medals for GB were called Nigerians.

amenuveve:
Nice post op, I have been thinking about this issue for something now, we have to take the message to everyone around us. By the way anyone with an idea of urhobo name that start with letter " J". I need suggestions. I have a plan to create a association for URHOBO living in Ghana, if interested contact me on +233248209704 or orsoft2489@gmail.com

I only know of Jaife (from Ejaife).

Good initiative. But if you cannot get enough Urhobo people around you, try to form an Edoid People association. This is the same issue of collective effort we are partly discussing here.

fratermathy:
You are correct in many ways. The Edoid tribes need to unite and become a macro-ethnic group with our various languages as dialects. That is what Ijaws did and it is favouring them today. But the truth is that Urhobos are far too proud and disorganised for this to be dreamt of.

Your other position on minority studies is apt. We need centres devoted to the documentation of our languages in universities, not just in Nigeria but the whole world. In this regards, Diffre Akpobome has done much. He has presented proposals to various institutions and has engaged in Urhobo language documentation. Sadly, he is not encouraged by enough Urhobos in terms of finance.

Very true. Sadly it is not just the Urhobos alone. The quest for political relevance in the kill & divide system of Nigeria encourages every hamlet highlighting how different from others they are. Everyone wants a share of national cake.

Even the Yoruba we see today, time was when the Oyos, Aworis, Ijebus, Egbas, Ekitis spoke related dialects that were not necessarily mutually intelligible.

Partly the problem I can foresee in forming a macro-ethnic group will be the issue of fear dominance by one or the other tribe. In my part of Edo, we do not really consider non-Benin Edoid people as strangers. We have always believed that we're branches of same family tree. But sadly, this view is not widespread. Many Edoid people I discuss with are very surprised to hear me say so. Most quickly say they have no idea of our history.

But this is not even about history now: it is about sheer survival.

The shortsightedness of refusal to support Diffre Akpobome is that perhaps only Urhobos have been expected to chip in morally, academically or financially. Rather, it should be expected of all Edoid people and beyond. That's where an overarching body would be imperative, with various specialists for various related dialects.

It is a travesty that Niger Delta Cultural & Linguistic Foundation still does not exist. At least to the best of my knowledge.

If you have ever made any efforts to document the history of just your own village/town & publish it, you will appreciate the massive challenges and obstacles, some deliberately put in your way, that will frustrate you. So creating a macro-ethnicity in the current highly polarised & "money talks" circumstances of Nigeria would be monumental. But that is no reason to give up already.

can you imagine! Geezors!

LorDBolton:
Very true OP I quarrelled with mumcy the other day when she was speaking native lingua and expecting me to understand

Azzin even parents don't speak language to the kids and worst thing is Edoid languages like ours are VERY difficult to learn if not taught early on due to high stress factor.

@nysc camp ALL of us edo peeps living in the west were even conversing in yoruba atimes...imagine!

@ my former office I also noticed it, all we know Is 'basic' greetings. Nothing more so how are we edos? Urhobos? Isokos? Itsekiris? Since gone are the days of 'tribal marks'

If we don't find a solution larger tribes will swallow us.

Very true. I have discussed this matter with people over many years. With increasing influence of larger tribes, smaller languages will continue to decline. Smaller groups and edoid tribes (Benin, Urhobo/Okpe/Uwvie, Esan, Isoko, Afamai & more) must encourage learning each other's languages. Especially encouraging their kids to do so mutually. I have found Benin kids being exposed to Urhobo or Esan for example as being very important. It encourages even a deeper understanding of Benin language for example.

I have no doubt this would be the case in reverse. Because many of these languages/tribes simply have a lot in common culturally & historically.
It is not a fight that can be won alone, but collectively.

We need to urgently create academies to promote "minority" languages or purposely sponsor special units within our state universities to come up simplification & standardisation of these languages. We can patner with UNESCO.

We in 9ja Delta are now pidgin specialists. But at the cost of our native languages. That cannot continue. Otherwise a major part of these civilisations will disappear for good.

vingeophysicist:
jonathan regime at least our suffering was minimal but buharis regime aggravated our suffering. I just pitied those that went through hell to vote him in.

Abeg help me ask the zombologists: have you blamed GEJ, PEJ & NOI today?

[quote author=Shiitposter post=49486793][/quote]Sadly, it can get even worse. Xmas is coming & demand for forex will increase. That could weaken the Naira further. Plus the yuletide increase in prices could squeeze families even harder.

Corruption & other crimes will rise sharply.

About time we let physically challenged people run 9ja. It seems the so-called able-bodied ones are mentally challenged dullards ruling us. Whereas this guys winning gold all over the place have clear & sharp minds.

God is never partial.

mamajaz:
...that only? You must be kidding

My dear, I guess that would be the biggest possible motivation for anyone.

I am not kidding o but I would not mind my goat "kidding ".

Good.

When you have many kids, you need good investment for the future.

yorhmienerd:
The last time I visited a relatives place, it was the day Barca vs Bayern played last, I came back around 11pm expecting to meet food setup and the kids sleeping but was suprised to see the kids watching telemundo while the father is suggestin they cook BEANS, that day I slept around 1am

Chai! Beans at night?

I cannot even eat beans after 4pm. Na wa o.

Not nice.

OKorowanta:
Mandela hate dis woman sha.
But I like dem two..
Winnie:Epitome of beauty.

Mandela did not.

It was for politics, political expediency.

Without Winnie's fight outside, Mandela's cause would have been less effective.

In the days fighting for freedom, people did various things, dealing with perceived traitors included.

Hardly anyone was innocent.

Na wa o.

I'm looking for a house to buy around Akute towards Denro Isashi or Lambe area. I don't want a place where water would be a problem. Any suggestions, advice or available house, contact whatsapp only 09091224863. Pictures of suggested places would be appreciated. Serious contacts only

Cheenway, how did your search go?

Chai, that blockeur, ehn.

They are usually the least easy on the eye in the group.

They are bad luck on legs.

obowunmi:
She appeared to me in a dream and threatened to kill me.

It is not her first time.

I was close to several Pastors for prayers but they keep asking me for money. So I stopped calling them.

She won't stop threating my life.

This is a woman who never married or bore children. She has given her womb to the witches society.

My dear, be careful. Some dreams are not direct. It is sometimes the opposite. But I guess you know how true to reality your dreams are.

But also remember: some people can take on the image of others to do evil. Somebody can take on your aunty's image/appearance to threaten you in your dream.

Because your aunt seems like the perfect candidate to be a witch: she's childless & never married. Anything that doesn't conform with society's expectations arouses suspicion.

You must remember that you do not know the medical history of her childlessness.
