CrimeIrate Youths Descend On Fulani Herdsmen Kill Several Cattle by darichlife(op): 3:04pm On Aug 21, 2022
The irate youth of Adoe, a farming community in the Sunyani West Municipality of the Bono Region, has descended on Fulani herdsmen in the area and killed several cattle.

The aggrieved youth, who wore red headgear and armbands, said the influx of the nomads in the area had been worrying because their cattle were causing extensive destruction to their farms and produce.

In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Adoe, Nana Amoah I, the chief of the town, said the animals had destroyed maize, yam and cassava farms, saying the cattle in the area numbered more than 7,000.

He said the destructive activities of the herdsmen, who wielded cutlasses and other offensive weapons, had created fear and panic in the area, saying many farmers were even afraid to go to their farms.

Mr. Issahaku Sulemana, the Assemblyman for Adoe Electoral Area, told the GNA the community informed the Municipal Assembly, but the nomads and their cattle kept arriving in the area, saying “we have no other option than to drive them away by ourselves”.

Meanwhile, some resident farmers in the area said they lived in fear of reprisal from the Fulani herdsmen, who escaped and left their animals in the area and, therefore, appealed for military protection

Nigeria means nothing as word. it has no base or taste, it has no feeling or idea in it's construct. The way I see Nigeria it is a business enterprise owned by the West. the more we grasp this reality the clearer we see why things ain't working.

The eternal fact remains that NIGERIA WAS far BETTER OF youUNDER BRITISH RULE. angry
ANY AFRICAN COUNTRY WITHOUT WHITE PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT CAN NEVA DO WELL. angry Go check out e.g SA,Madagascar,Etc.
THIS IS because THE MIND OF BLACKMAN IS BLACK FULL OF IDOL WORSHIP CLOGS FOR MATERIALISM TO GAIN POWER TO LIVE LIKE EMPEROR, BUT NOT TO GAIN POWER TO SERVE HIS BLACK SOCIETY TO BE A DEVELOPED PLACE. IS SAD TRUTH OF LIFE.
Fact is the black is still battling to understand what reality is, in our evolutionary spiral we never fully evolved with our own kind of education because it was all superimposed by an external force. The Religion, Education and Language we inherited are our greatest disservice to our continent. We must come out of or be re-enslaved.

It reminds me of a troublesome lady I dated some few yrs ago. Anytime she starts her wahala, I usually give her the silence treatment by simply ignoring her and keeping her at arm length for some time.

This usually piss her. One day she confronted me and told me she would prefer if I always beat her very well when ever she misbehaves instead of ignoring her.

Omoh, I just slowly withdrew myself from her until the relationship died a natural death.
Brother that's how they are, they only bow when you hit them hard, there is a girl that my guy is dating presently, there is no week without them hitting each other, if you come between them your own has finished. I approached her when she had a black swollen eye, why are you saying a guy that always beat you up, this is a girl that have a baby for one gentle business man, but she say she like tough guys that will always challenge her like a man not a weakling.


I also have a girlfriend back then that it is only when I slap her that she does something as simple as washing her own clothes or sweeping the house, sometimes she will ask me to wash her undies to prove my love for her, immediately I land her one you see her gathering the panties to wash herself.

I quickly conclude that this must be the way she respond when her dad wants her to do something. That is making me uncomfortable touching her is annoying but it is the only way to make her act, talking and pleading will not.

Wrong wiring from family caused all these.

It's difficult to understand women, but sincerely some women love a man who beats them like kids, they are drawn to him and love him more because that fukk he gives them after the beating makes them glued to him, such ladies crave his attention and will deal with any lady that come close to him.

I ate a small quantity of rice & beef yesterday for 7k at a nice restaurant here in ajah. I didn't complain.

You Broke men should stop embarrassing yourselves!! Enter a low budget canteen and eat to your satisfaction with ₦150 and stop ranting please!!
You have the mentality of luxury and waste just like most of our politicians, we live in a developing country yet we encourage wastage of money and all fancy lifestyles and complain of poverty. Pls wasting money on food is not something we should encourage because we live in a country where millions of people go to bed hungry and starving. stay blessed.

CultureRe: Relationship Between Yoruba Language And Igala Language. by darichlife(m): 3:37pm On Aug 18, 2022
scholes0:
Igala It looks like heavily modified archaic Yoruba.

Many of the words are the same. For those that are not exactly the same, I observed the following changes/modifications.

1) I noticed keenly that they have evolved to replace nasal vowel (Añ, Eñ, Iñ, Oñ, Uñ Etc) endings in Yoruba with their open oral vowel equivalents.
Because Yoruba has 7 oral and 7 nasal vowels... but seems Igala has only oral ones.

* And also some consonant mutation in Igala , i.e (R to L), (L to N), (J to Bÿ), (S to R/L) etc....
Here are some RULES:

Rule A*: Nasal vowel ending words in Yoruba to open vowel ending in Igala. Middle diphthong eliminated when present
Jeuñ (eat) - Jeñwu
Igbiñ (snail) - Igbi
Ohuñ (thing) - Eñwu
Eyiñ (tooth) - Eñyi
Ọkuñ (illipede) - Ọkọ
Eguñ (ancestors) - Egwu
Oguñ (medicine) - Ogwu
Fuñfuñ (white) - Fufu
Fañ (blow) - Fa
Agañ (barren) - Aga
Kañ (sour) - Ka
Okañ (one) - Oka
Oduñ (year) - Odo
Agbañ (chin) - Agba
Ouñ (he/she/it) - Oñwu
Ofuñ (throat) - Ofa
Oyañ (breats) - Eñya
Idiñ (maggot) - Ide
Ekuñ (leopard) - Eko
Tituñ (new) - Tito

Rule B* Consonant mutation R to L and vice versa
Kekere (small) - Kekele
Irawo (star) - Ilawo
Iri (dew/mist) - eli
Olu (lord) - Onu
Ro (cultivate) - Lo
Olamide (name) - Uramide
Iru (seed) - ilu
Akere (toad) - Akele
Ra (buy) - La
Erira (ants) - Elila
Ri (see) - Li
Ora (fat) - Ula
Oruñgbe (thirst) - Olugbe

Rule C* Consonant mutation S to R/L
Ese (leg) - Ere
Eso (fruit) - Ero
Se (block) - Re
Sø (throw) - Rø

Rule D* Consonant mutation S and SH to CH
It seems like the “Sh” sound in absent in some Igala dialects , and they replace with a 'CH'... These dialects that lack the the SH sound seem to have become the standard for the whole of Igala.

Sheyi (done this) - Cheyi
Oshu (moon) - Ochu
Ishu (yam) - Uchu
Ashe (authority) - Ache
Isha (pot) - Ucha
Shu (defecate) - Chu

Rule E* Consonant mutation J to BŸ
Aja (dog) - Abya
Eje (seven) - Ebye
Ẹjɛ (blood) - Ẹbyɛ

Rule F* Consonant mutation W to GW just like in the South-Eastern Yorubaland dialects
Ewa (beans) - Egwa
Ku (die) - Kwu
Gun (pound) - Gwu
Ekun (cry) - Ekwu
Oogun (sweat) - Uugwu
Wɛ (wash/bath) - Gwɛ

Rule G*: Consonant mutation L to N
Oluku (friend) - Onukwu
Ile/Ale (land) - Ane
Ale (night) - Ane
Ala (dream) - Ona
Ola (tomorrow) - Ona

Rule A* + B*
Eriñ (four)- Ele
Oruñ (neck) - Olu
Iruñ (hair) - Ilo
Aruñ (five) - Alu
Oruñ (sun) - Olu
Eruru (ashes) - Elulu

Rule A* + C*
Esañ (nine) - Ela
Suñ (sleep) - Lu

Rule A* +D*
Eshiñshiñ (housefly) - Achichi

Rule A* + F*
Egunguñ (bone) - Ogwugwu
Iguñnu (vulture) - Ugwunu
Oguñ (twenty) - Ogwu

Rule A* +G*
Olokuñriñ (man) - Onokele
Olobiñriń (woman) - Onobule

Rule B* + C*
Sure (run/hasten) - Rule

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Minor differencess with irregular rules
Bayii (like this) - Abayii
Øbɛ (soup) - Øbø
Owo (money) - Oko
Wo (look) - Go
Ijo (dance) - Ido
Monamona (lightening) - Omamañya
Oru (midnight) - Odu
Eru (slave) -Adu
Ehoro (rabbit) - Efolo
Adiye (hen) - Ajuwe
Akuko (coc.k) - Ayiko

And finally,False friend cognates
Yo in Yoruba = Fully fed
Yo in Igala = Plump / Fat

Du in Yoruba - To contest an object
Du in Igala - To take an object

Oyuñ in Yoruba = Pregnancy
Oyu in Igala = Fat

Ebo in Yoruba - Sacrifice
Ebo in Igala - Deity

Edø in Yoruba = Liver
Edø in Igala = Heart/Chest

Wewe in Yoruba = Pieces
Uwewe in igala = Many

There are many countless words that are exactly the same in both languages and need no further elucidation, since we are focusing more on what has made the two languages different over time.
That being said, there are many other words too that are very different... Hence the reason why Igala shares approximately only about 64% or so word cognates with the General Yoruba we speak. The 40% that do not align between both is already enough to make inter-comprehension between both very hard... The biggest chunk of non Yoruboid words in Igala is from the neighbouring Idoma according to some research.

With this, I would give a Yoruba - give or take 6 months to master this language under complete exposure like going to live in Idah or Dekina.

Yoruba is Igala Pro Max. Once you master the grammatical rule of thumb in the formula required to convert from one dialect gloss to the other gloss ... you will master the language sharply.
The greatest resources in the world is language. Who can prove me wrog

Well am not surprised many of you do not understand the power of sexual prayer, the media and porn industry has brainwashed us to see sex as a sport. You need to do your research on sexual magic, prayer sex and manifestation.


It takes two individuals who are deeply in love and initiated into the esoteric teachings of sexual magic to understand and achieve sexual manifestation. Truth is for a long period of time we have been having sex in a sport like manner only for making babies and for pleasure. That's why we easily get tired of a partner once the desire has been achieved. Sex is a vehicle for creation and if we fail to understand it above what the media thought us we shall always degenerate and abuse it.

Let me stop here for now.
