And let me add someone, Jesus Christ. forget the fact that he had a religion named after him and all that. With all those things we read in the bible I'm sure it would be wonderful to sit across the table and chat with him about issues like Nicodemus and Zacheuss did. I still chat with him in the spirit tho.

Unfortunately d people I also want to meet are all dead too,Socrates, philosopher and author, CS Lewis "chronicles of Narnia" and JRR Tolkien "Lord of the Rings" but that said I would settle for Robert Greene "48 laws of Power"

"we made assumptions and got caught sleeping, we could have killed any new student for such blind arrogance. And we are guilty of it ourselves." Whitmore Bludd. Dune: House Harkonnen, Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson

I write because I have soo much stuff floating in my head and I just want to empty them somewhere, where I can watch each idea take a distinct form. Like Tolstoy, if I do not write, I may go crazy. Money , fame, etc are all secondary issues.

I just read Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power like the 50th time. I'm currently reading Robert De Candido's Articles of the Federation, A star Trek Universe Novel

According to the little history we have, the people who are collectively known as Yoruba today, were just a collection of city states and Empires, who did not have much interaction beyond occasional wars and trade. So it is difficult for them to agree on stories of their origin. The name YORUBA itself, is reputed to be a either a corruption or contraction from a name that was given by a Hausa or Fulani leader (depending on who you ask) upon first contact with the northerners. this is why up till now a lot of people who even though speak the standard dialect, prefer to claim ethnicity of their localities, rather than call themselves Yoruba. this is why one runs into a brick wall, when writing Yoruba history before the 17th century. What is the Standard Yoruba that everyone speaks today, gained widespread acceptance when Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther translated the English Bible to Yoruba in the 1860s.and as Ajayi Crowther was from Oyo, his own dialect will be the basis for his work. That is why a close study reveals that Standard Yoruba is close to the Oyo dialect than any other dialect. the answer to your question then, will be that. that there was no Yoruba language. Each town spoke its own dialect, like Egba (Abeokuta in Ogun State) Oyo (a large part of Oyo state), Ondo (Ondo State), Ijesa (Ilesa and its environs in Osun State) etc

I am a Star Wars and Star trek literature fan and I have quite a collection of them. I am wondering if i can find other Trekkies and Jedis on NL.does anybody else really read star trek?
