I actually want us to pull out our birth certs. lets clear up this anonymous b.ullsh.it you hide under. Me born in the jungle? what a brothel mistake you are.
Lets put up passport-side photos too. Tiger-marked ferral Arrow.
Sure, and after that will I start receiving E-Mails written in badly lettered english promising me 25% of $10gazzillion if I assisted in transferring money to my accounts?! Fooooooool!
Freiburger: @ Bk.babe No you got it all wrong again i never criticised hip-hop or rap artists. i meant most of Jigga's texts are also written in wrong grammar.Yes hip-hop is widely loved by non-English speakers, but i guess it is just b- coz of its style of presentation and not coz of the correct grammar in its content, hope you know that. So stop slamming that young girl. she is doing her thing with the Accent and terms she was raised with, while Jay is also rapping with the Accent he grew up with. Rita made 1 or 2 or maybe 3 grammartical errors but she used related terms like jazz and yahoo guy etc to express herself, so she need not talk like jay to be understood right? I acknowledge the fact that a lot of home work need to be done on her grammar. but that dosent make her an illiterate. unlike one of these girls named Victoria trying to use a different Accent during the debate. N lastly this is not a rap or hip-hop thread right? hit me up @ Rap Battles here on NL.
Oh ok, I gotcha. I didnt even comment about the chic; i dont know her. I commented on Fstranger saying she "kinda hot", then saw ur comment about Jay Z.
jennykandry: You talked about the ego thing or the lack of respect that exists between Yoruba speaking and English speaking acts. So long as I am concerned, the reverse is the case. This is because, I for one, do not watch their movies, since I don’t understand the language. The few I recognize, I great them when I see them. But when most of them (Yoruba actors) see us (English Speaking actors) they always put up this attitude that says we must be the first to greet them. And so long as I am concerned, they do not respect us at all.”
Inferiority complex! Usually synonymous amongst Ibos worldwide and new Nigerian immigrants to the United States.
Did she think for once that maybe the Yourba artists wasnt tryn to talk to her cus they couldnt communicate in english?
^^^^lol. I know! A lotta people (most foreigners) just always hop on the band wagon criticizing hip-hop or its artistes not knowing how foo*lish they sound. . . . its like "looking from the outside in". They usually rely on the media. . . . Well, lets see them make a hit rap song if its that easy!
yamtas335: @ fstranger3 hahahahahahahaha, fine i am illiterate, but at least i am better than an illiterate that went to school and you sound like one, now let me break it down for you dunce, i said you go on TV and sing one nigeria, literally that was a metaphor, i meant that most ppl that sing songs of such are mostly yorubas and igbos look at the musicians, see it dummy? ok i don't technically mean you in particular, now i should suppose you went to school but its unfortunate you can't break words down, -sigh- so sad to go to school and still be a dummy
[quote author=chyz* link=topic=609783.msg7783108#msg7783108 date=1298425665]The hausas in Igboland can't read(nothing is written in arabic,hausa,or fulani ), write, not to talk of speak basic english. The yorubas are gatemen in SE, few store owners(very few).[/quote]. . . . and yet both groups have succeeded in turning your people into the Pinatas of the Federation!!!!
To argue hip hop or rap with a FOREIGNER would be like arguing Mandarin with a native born and bred Chinese! You will never get it! Why? The Accent! The terminology! The slangs! The lack of "experience" about subject matter (i.e I doubt any of your family members was crack heads, or u know anyone that was Crip, or that lived in a project here in NY etc etc!)
You might love the party songs, like almost everyone else that loves Hip Hop---even non-english speaking lovers of the music--- but for you to question the "rapping ability" of Jigga tells me one thing: YOU MIGHT THINK YOU KNOW ABOUT HIP HOP, BUT YOU DONT! Argue, and I'll give u a few songs, try breaking them down and give it the meaning people that "understand" the "language" got from it!
People like yourself will love a MC Hammer than a Cormega (I'll chew on a .45 if uve ever heard of him), you will love a Vanilla Ice and his "Ice, Ice baby" over a BIG L (try deciphering his NYC slangs and watch brain matter seep from your right ear). . . . You cant just dismiss Hov, just cus u "THINK" You "KNOW": YOU DONT KNOW!!!
Admittedly, lately, Jay Z has "commercialized"; listen to his old stuff from the reasonable doubt days. Listen to the music. Listen to what he's saying. Understand what hes saying. Jay Z is a poet, he's usually telling a story. . . . Your African brothers, like yourself, thot Rap was just saying words that rhymed over a beat. Look at how easy they found it to make rap music. Theres reasons why its not easy for them (just like u): its a "foreign language"!
abadaba: Brain-dead monkey, you are so jobless that you do not do any other thing than hating. 2m'row you will assume am Nchara or Udezue. Go and screw your promiscuous mother.Shitt-eater.
Wow, Ibo man! So, u gone deny that ure ANDRE UWEH?!
Wheres Ileke Idi, Fstranger, Aigbofa, Alh.Harem, Bluetooth, Jason and co when I need them?
Delafruita: @abadaba.something about the way you speak indicates you are one of those who don't think with their God-given brains but decide to think with their aszz.
Abadaba also goes by the name ANDRE UWEH (he also has 29 other aliases he uses here on Naira Land----most of the Ibos on here do ); pay him no mind! He's an idi*ot!
On some real shiyyt, I think if Ojukwu had been captured alive that would have been the end of the Ibo race as nation. Can u imagine how humiliating it would have been to see such a boastful man subdued, haggard, tortured and humiliated on tape?! The war defeat alone destroyed the psyche of Ibos for generations to come, imagine what Ojukwu's capture would have done to them; demoralized, humiliated, unwanted, DISPLACED--- FOREVER!!!
And now, after knowing more about the Hausas and how lethal, heartless, and menacingly vioLent they could get even when smiling at you with their reddened gums could you imagine the torture ojukwu would have been subjected to ON TAPE!?!?! Visualize the image of a kicking, screaming and begging Ojukwu at the hands of his captors--- I wouldnt wish that on a great man such as Ojukwu, no matter what I think of him. If Ojukwu had been captured, the punishment that would have been metted out on him would have set in stone the belief the rest of the world has that the black man is incapable of settling his differences amicably without resorting to UNWANTON use of violence. His captors would definitely have gone overboard and Samuel Doe's torture would have been child's play compared to what I believe Ojukwu would have been forced to endure.
For the above reasons alone, I can honestly, and sincerely, say that I AM GLAD OJUKWU WAS NOT CAPTURED ALIVE.
Delafruita: For a few years i have read just about every book on ojukwu and the civil war and i have come to realise that colonel emeka odimegwu ojukwu was just a power hungry tout not to forget him been a coward.what justification was there for him to personally vet every weapon purchase and disbursement or for him to be in charge of the "country's" funds?his unilateral promotion and demotion of officers was also foolish.his famous statement as related in madiebo's book and other editorials that the rling council of biafra consists of three people "emeka,odimegwu and ojukwu" lends credence to his thirst for power.the ibos love to blame the entire world for their problems but forget that the civil war was a result of a cataclysmic cycle that began with the coup of 1966 and the expected second ibo coup of 1968.yes there were ibo-targetted pogroms in the north but they were mainly in retaliation for the gruesome murder of the sardauna and the subsequent circulation of the pictures.unconfirmed reports even stated that those posters of the dead sardauna sold faster than bread.i donot support pogroms but the hausas reacted the way they did to the murder o their leaders and because zik was spared.ojukwu declared independence because he feared gowon was going to remove him from office.why are the ibos so blinded to see the level of deceit of the man?he was feeding fat while his soldiers had no supplies in the field.general jackson at the battle of richmond was involved in every stage of the battle till the point where he negotiated the surrender of the confederate soldiers to the union.there was no reason for ojukwu to abandon his soldiers.he sent a delegation to ecowas,,sent another to addis-ababa,sent one as far as england,why did he have to go to cote d'ivoire(which had already recognised biafra as a nation)by himself.ibos please stop this foolish worship of ojukwu the coward
[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=607357.msg7764438#msg7764438 date=1298167832]When I say it, it is much more believable. A person who is always saying the sky is falling, will be seen as the village fool. However, when a person with a lot of titles says it, then this is much believable. I hope that helps you understand how Nairaland works. Some of the things you raise are conspiracy theories. However, there are many instances, that can be seen by Africans in how the IMF have destroyed our economies. [/quote]
cap28: Sorry?? Titles?? what titles do you have that makes you beleivable?
So you think because you've just learnt how to read and write that makes you an authority on any given subject?
Is it your tragic delusions of grandeur and comical and immature attempts at debating that have convinced you that you are "beleivable"?
Or is it your clueless bigotry and xenophobic babbling that makes you "beleivable".
A fool is a person who fails to heed words of warning beleiving that he knows best - that is definitely you.
Since i have been on NL i have continued to highlight the dangers posed to the nigerian economy by the IMF but people like you have been too s.tup.id and dumb to listen and understand, now at the eleventh hour the IMF is once again knocking on nigeria's door preparing nigerians for another round of extreme poverty and suffering, i should know because i was in nigeria during the first IMF sponsored austerity measures - keep displaying your limitless naivite and stu.pidity - may you and your family be the first casualties of the coming food shortages, petrol scarcity and mayhem.
Oh, ok, now I get it. I know what saying describes these two.
Here goes:
"WHEN TWO IBO FOOLS DECIDES TO GRAPPLE IN THE VILLAGE SQUARE. . . . "
cap28: Am actually amazed that many posters are not dismissing these proposals as just another conspiracy theory as they have done in the past whenever i have raised the dangers posed by the IMF to nigeria's economy.

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=607357.msg7764438#msg7764438 date=1298167832]Arguing with Kobojunkie can make anyone go insane. She has that way, that can piss anyone off. You are not the first and you definitely will not be the last to argue with her and give up. That is the way she operates. Most of the time I argue with her, it is never a pleasant experience. I leave with a migraine headaches.
Her circular arguments are always confusing, that she even forgets why she is arguing. [/quote]. . . . . .Well, then again, u aint the brightest bulb in the Chandelier either!
excanny: Take for a change that this post is criticizing the Igbos, you'll see how they'll flock in here in excitement.
So, if this was written about some Ibo land u'd take it as an affront and insult instead of analysis, the op's personal view, or constructive criticism?
Why Nigeria hasnt chased out you and your likes to the easternmost parts of the country is still beyond me. Beast!
