loveymom:
Was it sent to you or you bought it from an African store?

Sent. They bought it, did whatever and milled it.
I have never cooked òkpa before. But I can eat this thing every day. Majority carry the vote here hence I requested for it.

I have dried unwashed onugbu leaves for my onugbu soup.
When I remember I will wash it, I get goose pimples

Lovely

loveymom:

cococandy:
The thought did cross my mind that it might be a fake post.
Should have know with the “go back to her father's house phrase”.

Sigh

Thank u my sis

He isn't a smart guy. Seun failed with this one

Gosh,we are indeed very wicked.

@Cococandy, pls can you remove the names of those drugs?




Topic is as fake as others.

AgbenuAnna:
To all the lives lost in the struggle for a better Nigeria
May your death never be in vain

Okpa I made yesterday morning

What did you use to prepare this òkpa?
See what I have

49% blacks thumbed up for trump as at yesterday.
Youth votes in decline of 11% plus.

Youth vote is major democrats grab on popular vote cos that's where they mobilise college students but schools are closed thanks to their miscalculation on covid.

How can a presidential candidate say he will flank fossil fuel?

I just want peace in the world. Aside Syria, nobody is bombing anybody. American soldiers can become human not robot again.

Shameful Hillary want to wipe sentiment from black voters by twitting about end SARS. When did she start having Nigeria's interest at heart?
Even Joe?

I was surprised Obama didn't tweet. CNN is now very much interested in the affairs of Nigeria.
Incredible!

This blood sucking killary should eff off.

Drowning woman. U will rot in jail with the like of those representing Buhari cos Buhari is either in vegetative state or dead.

Timiofak:

See, I am not debating this election with you guys here at all. I jump and pass pls

I'm not good at raining curses and abuse on people because of politicians.

Ever tried soft Achicha with fiofio...?? The very oily type with tiny pieces of kpomo and ukpaka??.. Garnished with utazi and local onions and oil sauce... With fish to go with it... Chai!

Leave matter. If you find yourself outside home like me, u will crave all these things. Even anìga.
I have never seen anìga here
Anìga onugbu and anìga akwùkwò ede. Ede igbugbu.

These foods are reasons majority of our people travel home during Xmas. Granny to the rescue. You cook Christmas rice for children. Adults scramble for these foods inside big mortar or tray
Some will carry some for hand and take off .
Na so u go dey pursue grown ups around to share food .
And if they get bush meat, na village meeting for your compound be that

pryme:
Hahahaha

I am following this election.

Why did the democrats chose Joe Biden?

"You know what?, Joe Biden is a criminal, and you are a criminal for not reporting it"

Gosh

Better.

The first few days of this protest was genuine. The rest are miscreants and jobless people

Every good police officer should not be near these people these days.

nuelzy:
chai!!

U sabi


Nwa afo!!

Have u seen that corn that have many colours?
That's the type of corn we have in the village. Has less fibre and more nutritious and healthy especially if no fertilizer is used.

Most of those names also have meanings. There are two things that you need to remember.


1) Words often have more than one meaning. It's possible that the name refers to a meaning that is different from the one that you are thinking of.


2) The English Language is derived from many sources including French (because of the Normans), German (because of the Saxons), Latin (because of the Roman occupation), Scandinavian languages (because of the Vikings), etc. Some of those names mean something different in the original language.



Woods in this case refers to a place with lots of trees, like a forest. The original meaning of the name Woods is someone that works in a forest (maybe as a lumberjack, hunter, etc). So most likely the baby's father works in the woods (that's why it's usually used as a surname).


Blunt is derived from French and it originally referred to people with blond hair.

U are right. Mrs harmony
My name which is female is a male name in Romania .
And it's an insult if a female is called such there

crackhaus:
But honestly, aren't these reasons/meanings just funny and weird?

River, Skye etc.. LOL

One of my lecturers is Mrs Blunt
Didn't know when I busted out laughing when she said her name is blunt. I've asked her,she said it's her family name and even told me weirder ones .

But, if u translate them to our various languages, we have such name o.
Ofia is somebody's name. That's bush.
We even have a wider ones
Though people now use such names as titled names e.g. ofia 1 of nairaland etc.

crackhaus:
Lol, I didn't want to engage that person in a conversation after he/she replied... But since you brought it up, the meaning of Alexander seems blehhhhh to me.
I don't mean to come off critical though, I'm just 'saying'...

Like you just name a child protector.
Protector of whom and what?

Like I noted earlier, these names sounds good and sure they'll have a meaning... but what exactly is the context of the meaning and how does it relate to that particular child, especially when it's a name that was pre-planned way before the child was even born.
This is always my curiosity

Check it up, the meaning is diverse. Names evolve.
My name's were as a result of being twin. Very annoying and I changed them

When my first kid was named by his dad( just allowed him and his family to name anything they feel like), I now looked up some names that have the similar sound or letters to match the first one for subsequent ones. Checked their meaning and they were ok.
Like the Kardashian's with k.

As long as names are short( people these days hate long names), has good meaning, I'm good.

But see names like destiny, blessing, goodness. Yuk

nuelzy:
Yea..its a type of beans..

Not only is it delicious.. It's nutritious as well

Do try it.

That, my friend is one of the most nutritious and healthy food ever
U don't even need seasoning

@Cococandy, that beans is normally cultivated along yam, cassava etc. We combine it with ùkwa and òka. This is their season.
Heavenly
It's the most delicious beans one can eat. Not common. Some call it akìdì. I think it's different.
Nostalgic feelings.

crackhaus:
Lol...

What does Alexander mean?

At least this one get meaning.
What of Blunt, Wood etc.

English names are very funny and weird.

DCatt:
But SE is the one splashing water here on Miyetti Allah's behalf.

Ileke idi

Same old, same old

If you have twins e.g., u look for identical names.

Once a name sounds good to my ears and have okay meaning, I'm good to go

chaloskyx:
