Another reason we need proactive leaders...I could remember in 1984, all NURTW better known as agberos like Adebayo success, daddy matter and the rest retired to their villages.
we breed touts with our own hands.

Egbagirl:
Òkè or Òké (w the ami isale)?

ọ̀kẹ́ - name or money.
Yoruba is deep in meanings ...́

semitunde:
Tunde literarily mean "comes back".

Babatunde means " Father (or grand father or great grand father) had come back".

More like reincarnation stuff. Baba has reincarnated. Yorùbá culture seems to believe in reincarnation.

abes:
Also Babatunde, Iyabo and Yetunde.

Those are circumstantial names

What does Abiye mean ?

Born to live.

tpiar:
Bidemi is not an amutorunwa name.

It's a general name describing the family situation at the time of birth, like most other Yoruba names.

The amutorunwa names are what the child itself brings with him, naturally.

yeah, and in most cases do have an effect in their ways of life.

Setaje:
Really. All the aina's I know are females including me! So strange for a man to bear aina

In some parts of Yorùbá land, they consider àìná unisex

frainc:
To be honest you are right

What mean another thing in your language
Can mean something else in my language

Laff don kill me here, I no even think am go dat way untill u open my eyes to am

That's why we are so uniquely different here, all the languages in Nigeria have the best representation of character and situations, they give deep expression with meanings that don't even exist in english.

IYANGBALI:
you can lie

What do u know?

mayorall:
Why is my own not there " Kedunwa"


Edun is twins

koedunwa ( Bring twins) is the child before the twins.

Ẹdun is the short form for Ẹdunjọbi and it's another name for Ìbejì (Twins) .

IYANGBALI:
Iya ngbali....woman that enjoys life. Oyan wa mi wale...bweast find me come home. Fokosere usually given to male children that held their preek during delivery. Idi ileke etc

Ìdí ìlẹ̀kẹ̀ is a dirge to qualify beautiful girls...others are crap

abejide1000:
Adigun is also one of the names....it means tall child from heaven. Example is 9ice, which is Adigun Alapomeji, as you can see, the guy is very tall

Adigun is not a name from heaven (àmútọ̀runwá). It's a deep traditional sobriquet(ìnagijẹ)or (oríkì)

hazyfm1:
Yes most do. The likes of Zenith, FBN, etc King of MDAs Accounts

As a matter of fact, all the banks have one MDA account or the other.....

GlorifiedTunde:

Torturing a 15year old because of some stupid politicians No No.....this country is a charade and a joke.

buygala:
Op's drugs are in transit


Please don't take him too seriously... We are working very hard to get to the bottom of his matter



OP, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME OUTSIDE BEFORE 11am? ... why are you so bent on embarassing your family with this mumu thread?

let's set up a committee to look into his case!

clevvermind:
you are right. no need to bring someone whose past stinks.

Is there anybody without a past? we all wish we could turn back the hands of time because nobody holy pass!

A case study of Nairaland ...you'll have no reason to doubt this assertion after spending just 2 minutes on Nairaland.

All you peeps saying u don't know StormRex makes me laugh lmaoo. I am not even talking of popularity. Am talking of their hotness. Nawa oo, na so English hard for una? You might not know StormRex yet she's Big in the East. She's truly the Queen of the East. Amazing voice. Go and Google her.

what'hotness? anyone of them fit boil water?

jiggaz:
lol Abeg oo, am not trying to compare StormRex to Tiwa Savage in terms of popularity cos we all know Tiwa is more popular. But StormRex is not a push over too. Guys living in the East, PH & Delta sabi her wella and she has a huge presence there. She's the Ada Ndi Igbo, the Igbo Beyonce. Lagos peeps know her too unless you are not into Music.

Then it should have been stormsomething and maybe Onyeka owenu

FrankC3:
I said it when Fayose released his newspaper advertorial and the eventual PDP dissociation of herself from that publication that we should watch the coming days. Fayose is there to energise a critical section of PDP followership that has been sidelined by GEJ brand of calm politics. With that advert, Fayose announced his arrival on the scene to lead that critical segment. PDP dissociation from the advert was like giving Fayose a roaming role on the field of play.

For those who are wise, this election is not just between PDP and APC or GEJ and Buhari, it is also between AKPD media headed by the ever brutal and dangerous David Axerold (if I get the name right) and local content team of PDP headed by Tony Aninih. AKPD has won unbelievable victories all over the world and believed themselves to be the best, PDP team is about to team them some humility. It will enliven the discussion of real African and local ingenuity when it comes to political strategy.

PDP is going to come out of this looking better. Over the last few days, the corruption chant is becoming monotonous to the ear of the populace, Buhari and APC are being increasingly on the defensive, Buhari's health is now a topic of discussion, APC is being presented as a party built on lies, APC leaders are being tackled even from their home base by those who believe that they have betrayed age long principles of regional autonomy, new alliances are being built that further solidifies GEJ position among others. All these are happening while GEJ has gone on project commissioning spree, reinforcing the idea that APC is built on lies having told Nigerians that GEJ has done nothing. Now, Fayose is a big factor, a single powerful source of frustration for the APC and her followers, and somehow, PDP has creatively told the world that they don't support Fayose's methods thereby presenting PDP as a group that does not play dirty. OBJ's tearing of his membership card is also not doing APC any good especially when placed side by side with Tinubu's invitation for him to be their navigator. On the social media, it is not looking better for them, with the likes of Barcanista, a man I respect for his clear and logical presentation of his position, cross carpeted with the message that those around GMB are fraudsters and non democrats. In fact, APC NL team were so foo.lish to start attacking the young man, fuelling the impression among the undecided that they are a violent lot, especially when one remembers that Barcanista was with PDP team before crossing over to APC in the first place without attracting any insult from the PDP team.

The next few days will be more interesting. One thing that any smart fellow will not deny is that APC campaign is in disarray, their strategy is presently uncoordinated, they are fast losing the undecided and their war chest seem terribly depleted. If I am to make a judgement, I will say that based on these, the margin of PDP victory is getting wider. GEJ will hand over power in 2019 and would have tamed all known political beasts of the country with a single blow. Quote me later, if this trend continues, by 2025, GEJ will be considered by many as the father of modern Nigeria.

I hail you oh Emperor Ade Ade Ade.

sinaj:
lol wid ur interaction online huh, meet me in person, u wil b xo dissapointed...

sinaj:
m an introvert nd de always mistake me mostly for a snub...itz not bin easy in reltnshp either coz most piple bliv introverts r lovers of demselves nd find it difficult to fall in love since we are always cold nd shy

You? I would say maybe u are shy because being an introvert doesn't make one shy, they are two different concepts...and with my interaction with u, u have been very far from COLD.

babyosisi:
When I was advising new immigrants to develop a deodorant wearing habit last year at the travel section,people thought I was just being mean.There is nothing as uncomfortable as a guest with body odor or being in close proximity with someone with body odor,visiting their home is like torture.The worst culprits I have encountered are deeper lifers.two of the worst cases I know ,their houses reeked of strong odor and so did their bodies.One I actually worked with in my shait packing days and the other people made fun of her when she was away,calling her skunk etc and one of the hardest things to tell someone is that they smell.

Most Nigerians especially those in Nigeria don't wear deodorants and the body odor can be very pungent in our hot weather.many start doing so here after some subtle hints.I had a young new immigrant couple that I introduced to deodorants because I feared they may be ridiculed by someone someday or it would cost them job opportunities and I had to say it nicely and bought then deodorants too,hopefully they kept up with it,we lost touch.
Americans make fun of Africans in general for body odor.
People who go on mission trips come home talking about how bad people smelled and it's embarrassing to hear
I was at a winners chapel here the other day and when they ushered us into a room for a little reception for the visitors,the smell was unbelievable.
The atmosphere in that room was filled with an indescribable stench
Many don't even wash their trado all the sweat dries up and new ones are added on without deodorants
Tufia

True but, u should understand that white people smell like shit a lot...maybe they are deceived by their complexion, all of them I av worked with and even clintes smell so bad. They will conclude that blacks smell while they are even smell worse.

anyway, for the extreme case, I recommend 'dangoma' that housa perfume .....come back and thank me!

KEVIND:
She told Newswatch Times that a passenger on Emirates Airlines, simply identified as Samuel from Anambra State, later claimed the ownership of the bag and its contents from the aviation security after much screening, adding that the man just thanked her and went away with the money

This is one of the reasons why people don't care anymore in this country, the Ibo man could not even show a little appreciation to encourage the Lady to do more! while a white man appreciated her with $50

Virgindove:
Symbol of good mother indeed. Pls kindly name one of her biological children.
