Ok, but what sort of name is Vinicius?

I went and listened to it. Knew it'd be one DUMB song, and it was exactly that!

[sup][/sup]

tnerro1:
Jonathan/Atiku ticket will send Tinubu back to his adopted home of Lagos

HOW??
Which INEC will conduct and announce such result? Which army and police will supervise and enforce it (in cohorts with national president MC Oluomo), and which SC will uphold it together with Senate, and tell Tinubu to leave Aso rock for Atiku to move in?!

RecentHistory:
Shettima - 8 years
SS - 8 Years
If Atiku is lucky, he will be ripe for Presidency in 2047.

Who be SS?

Yujin:
Yeribad hermaphrodite. No one cares how it sounds. That's how I'll always write when responding to your kind.

Do you know what bad means? Do you know what it means when you say "I'm bad"? Yeribaad would be a great nickname if it sounded anything like Yoruba.
And by the way read the below again. Ibo was supposed to be a corruption of "Hebrew" (Ibos claim Hebrew descent), making IBO the correct pronunciation and writing, NOT Igbo!

😅
Good to start the morning with a joke

RecentHistory:
2031 belongs to Shettima, he should wait till 2047

31 plus 8 is 39. How did you arrive at 47?

Yujin:
It's a nice feeling to start a trend. Thanks to you, I just started one my Yeribad nairalander.

😅 Trend ko, trendnoid ni.
Would have been a compliment if the two words sounded anything alike. My Ibo sounds like Igbo!

Yujin:
Ok Yeribad man. This is how I'll be referring to you from now henceforth. Your moniker has been marked.

Except, you'd be the only one.
See below. Produce an equivalence for Yeribad

Yujin:
The issue of John, James, Jesus etc are issues of transliteration which happened from many languages down to present day English language.
The English popularized those names in the various countries they colonized which led to their proliferation today. Those names are even used in the English Bible. However, most of those names ended up being changed whenever the Holy Scriptures was translated into any other language.
For example, Jesus in English Bible became Jisos in Igbo Bible and Jesu in Yoruba Bible. Even in the Arabic world, many different countries and cultures spell Mohammed differently as a result of transliteration.
In the case of hateful people like you, spelling Igbo as 'Ibo' isn't a case of transliteration. 'Igbo' as a single word exists in the Yoruba language. You can spell 'Igbo-ora', Igbomina, Ijebu Igbo etc easily but find to spell 'Igbo' (the name of another ethnic group) to be long. It clearly shows how devious you are. I could learn from you and start spelling Yoruba as Yeribad. After all, like you wrote, you can't dictate to everyone how to spell your name.

This now brings me to the Turkiye issue. The UN and US government have accepted to start officially writing Turkiye in formal documents. This is how it should be. Hateful goons like you can persist in referring to them as Turkey.

Transliteration ko, transmanipulation ni. Point is, it boils down to the same thing - everybody spells it the way it suits them, the way most convenient for them.
Ibos were happily called Ibos and were very happy with it. It is convenient for ME to keep calling them that, NOT Ndigbo. Yoruba and Ijebu Igbo were never called anything else.
As for Turkey, you're lying again. You know full well we'er not talking of "Officially" because "officially" has nothing to do with what most people call them. See it below again

Britishpea:
I don’t know why most of you write here. Your brain is so soft.

You can’t fit in a reasonable conversation and can’t contribute anything meaningful to human race.

So Fedgovt will help OAU run an internal affair?

We "write here" to educate people like you.
It is Xmas season! Have a little heart! Show a little bit of a concern for your fellow human being! A billion here, a billion there, without the slightest concern as to how Okada men would feed their families when you take away their livelihood!

shizzleStar:
Again you are an iredeemble rëtard

You don't even deserve a civil or polite response for being so blatantly stupid.

I corrected you politely initially thinking you had common sense, but you displayed you folly when you chose to argue like the morõn that you are. You insist on the wrong spelling because it's shorter shows how incorrigible you are

I'm not surprised that this nonsense you wrote made sense to you, the fact that you keep arguing blindly confirms your undeniable idiocy cum stüpidity

Don't quote me again

Here I am, quoting you again, PLUS reporting you to the mods. Let's see if you can sue me

Yujin:
You can pretend all you like but it is the people who own the name that will dictate how they want it spelt at least. How you pronounce it can be excused due to 'tongue' challenges. You Yorubas pronounce 'gb' differently from how most Igbos pronounce it so even if it is slightly different, it is still accepted. What we won't accept is people like you continuing with spelling it wrongly. The government of Turkiye recently came out to tell the whole world how they want their name to be SPELT. How you pronounce it may be excused but now, only Turkiye is accepted. In the same vein, Ndigbo have stated severally that Igbo is how we spell our name. It is not subject to your whims and caprice. It is OUR name NOT YOUR name.
I repeat it that you're a criminal if you insist on spelling it 'Ibo' even after you've been corrected severally.

Yet you keep writing John, James, Jesus, etc, when it has been severally made abundantly clear to you that neither letter J nor sound of it exists in Hebrew.
You can't dictate to anybody how to spell a name. Example, the Turkey that you mentioned. See below

thrillionaire:
..and your name is Daddy cool.. you aint cool at all

And you ain't no thrillionaire at all

Emeka71:
Sure indeed.

Like asking if God can perform a miracle a second before an event. Duh

ariesbull:
Don't mind the clown. If they can pronounce

Ijebu Igbo
Ogbomosho
Oshogbo


Then they can pronounce Igbo....just that many of them are daft

Has any of those ever been called anything else? Ibo and Igbo have always been used interchangeably without anyone regarding it as derogatory or an insult.

See how you can't post y-ariba no matter how hard you try - it autocorrects to Yoruba!

Berankis:
Not exactly. Just his thought and for some of us as well...

Isn't it obvious you can get a miracle any second? Unless yoi think God is limited by time!

aswani:
That's been unfair on me, I am most respectful of people and their cultures.

We are now going round in circles so I bid you farewell from this conversation and wish you a blessed day.

I said you DIDN'T harass me. Did you read what I wrote??
Blessed day to you too my bros, blessed day to you

Yujin:
Since you prefer to be incorrigible, except whatever insults thrown at you.
Any Yoruba person who says it's easier to write and pronounce 'Ibo' instead of 'Igbo' is a criminal. The diagraph 'gb' exists in the Yoruba vocabulary which is used daily when speaking Yoruba language. It is inexcusable for a Yoruba person to feign ignorance of the insistence of Ndigbo that our language, people and land be properly spelt as 'Igbo'. Pretending not to know that Igbo is the correct spelling doesn't exonerate you from being called to order. Persistence in such indulgence tells a lot about your personality especially as it shows how dense you are.

I'm a criminal because I prefer to write Ibo rather than the longer Igbo? Why not also call me a criminal for preferring writing Ibos rather than Ndigbo. And Xmas rather than Christmas (despite all the preaching I've received on the subject)!

glolomoh:
The campus is not the route for Okada man to make money in Ile-lfe. Let them take their hustle outside the campus. Their menace within the campus is nauseating.

We need a serene academic environment that OAU was known for some decades ago.

Have a heart! It is Xmas season! Show a little bit of a concern for your fellow human being! A billion here, a billion there, without the slightest concern as to how Okada men would feed their families when you take away their livelihood!

aswani:
I didn't harass you, all I did was provide a historical context as to why it might be Igbo rather than Ibo and give other examples.

If a Jewish person was called their equivalent of James or John and corrected me, I certainly won't call it harassment.

No one can force you to do anything here, except the mods, much as you can't stop people having an opinion on what you write.

Of course you didn't harass me. It's that other guy.
But I can assure you, no matter how many Jewish corrected you, you're not about to stop saying James, John, etc

ariesbull:
accept corrections ....stop being daft

There are languages you pronounce the way they appear which as African languages and Spanish or Latin languages


Psychology isn't African language ...get correction ...it's Igbo not Ibo


It's yoruba not Yoruba

Soo, which language is Awka? And Onitsha? And when has anybody ever called Yoruba Yoruba?
See how you can't post y-ariba - it autocorrects to Yoruba!

shizzleStar:
you are a blatant idiot and despicable irritant. So it's the white man or you a non-Igbo that will tell an Igbo man how to spell or pronounce his tribe?. You're an irredeemable retard

First of all I'm reporting you and getting you banned so you'll learn a lesson in politeness. Unfortunately for you it is NOT close enough to Christmas for me to not do it - unless you ask me not to in your next post.
Secondly, I OBVIOUSLY have never even almost come close to telling anybody in the world how to spell or pronounce his tribes's name. I simply write Ibo because it is shorter and easier and had never been considered an insult to Igbos.

DaddyCoool:
Same way you happily write James and John and Awka without being harrased, you ought afford me the courtesy of freely writing Ibo or Igbo as I deem fit!

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. Hate and ignorance will not give you joy in life. Thr First Lady is absolutely right.

She donated a whopping N1 billion of her money to the school as a proud Alumnus of the school and still proposed that those Okada people be given the option of shuttle so they can be the one to run the shuttle buses like it's done on the Prestigious University of Lagos (UNILAG) campus.

I am sure that you don't know that you can't find Okada on UNILAG campus. Even buses that shuttle from Yaba Garage to UNILAG campus have a designated point on the campus and these buses are painted UNILAG shuttle Bus.

Campus shuttle that transport passengers within the campus have their designated parks and they don't mix with the buses that move students outside the campus. Everything is so orderly in UNILAG that you can literally close your eyes and still find your way to the different parks on the campus.

The shuttle buses are safer than Okada and it is more economical to the transporters and University staff/students. I am even shocked and surprised to read that Okada riders have taken over OAU few days to 2025

Can you please quote for us anywhere in the article where any concern whatsoever was shown for the livelihood of the Okada riders and their families

aswani:
I was not aware of this in truth, however I am confused as to what this has to do with Ibo corrected as Igbo.

Same way you happily write James and John and Awka without being harrased, you ought afford me the courtesy of freely writing Ibo or Igbo as I deem fit!

Shawarmagirl:
Even APC knows that it is possible for a Carmel to pass through the hole of a niddle, than APC winning Anambra State.

No be true. APC can take any state "without force"

aswani:
So what are Hebrews complaining about the spelling or pronunciation of Jesus?

Both. There is no "j" or j sound in Hebrew

aswani:
I think you are confusing me with someone else ss
I never said anything was an insult.

All I have explained is why it could be Igbo not Ibo and given examples.

If people with anglicised Hebrew names you stated above correct me on the spelling and pronunciation of their names. I will happily comply.

I did confuse you with the other fella. But you're still being disingenuous. No matter how much Hebrews complain, you know you're not changing Jesus

And what have you set up as alternate way for Okada riders to feed their families??

aswani:
First off, I am not up in arms.

I am saying white people are not respectful of indigenous pronouncements in places they conquered, I am not taking about their own words.

In Australia for example, they changed Uluru rock to Ayers rock for example.

You are being disingenuous. Many, many words and proper names are angliciized, yet you happily use them. ONLY when it comes to Ibo does it become an insult. Do you think Jesus, Joshua, John, are real Hebrew names??

aswani:
White people write as they pronounce and of course back then no one could challenge them.

Have you heard of Ibusa which really is Igbuzor as an example?

Yet they don't pronounce psychology as P-sychplogy nor kitchen as kit-chen. And which kind Ibo be "Awka" or "Onitsha" which you still happily use. Only when I write Ibo are you up in arms!

shizzleStar:
we were proud...and who told you this nonsense?

Some white wrote books where they ignorantly wrote Igbo as 'ibo' because they can't pronounce the 'gb' consonance sound just like yaroba people with the 'h' and 'I' factor. Do you expect igbos to go and re-write the books to correct the spelling?

You should know that if any African is to bow to the white man it's certainly not the Igbo man.

Again, just take correction and stop the unnecessary back and forth

aswani:
Be fair nau, whites can't pronounce the "gb", even some of our children born and bred abroad cannot do it.

They WROTE it as IBO!! Wrote NOT pronounce! Couldn't they WRITE Igbo?? And you were just fine with it. Now it's suddenly an insult just because it it is me writing it!!
