Igbo is more difficult than hausa to learn bt u cn learn it easily if u live in SE. The rizn why it is always difficult for other tribes to learn and speak it fluently is because of the short form  of some words when speaking it Example:
Kedu ebe ina aga- kee ebe ina aga or kee ebe ina eje(meaning where are u going. U cn notice that (kedu) hv bn minimized to (kee).
Igbos also make use of different slang when speaking(mainly in the cities outside their villages) and that is where other tribes normally finds it difficult coz new slang words are bn formed daily. A non igbo wl find it a little bit hard understanding igbo in a place like Lagos because of so many igbo dialects spoken there and that makes it even harder.
If u wnt to learn igbo fluently, u hv to be in their locality where the same dialect is bn spoken and more advantage if it is a central igbo speaking area.

@ Adeibi, lol. For a long while I also wondered why some countries were rich and some poor. I wondered why governments couldn't just print as much money as possible to bridge the gap! But then. . . .

Seun has done a good job in breaking it down with ingenius simplicity and clarity. It is clear enough. But then a few grey areas remain. . .

One angle that I have not yet figured out is the extent to which printing excess money (in itself) can actually cause hyper-inflation if such excess cash is not directly released into the economy (though increased salaries, cash handouts to citizens, etc,). This is especially so in the increasingly integrated global economy that characterizes the new world order. For instance, if government simply prints excess cash and strictly uses such cash to fund key infrastructure projects such as massive road construction and power supply (especially with imported materials, labout and foreign contractors that would repatriate the project funds to their home countries), then to what extent can such printing of excess money result in inflation in the local economy - since such cash was not directly injected into the economy? ? ? I hope someone understands what I'm trying to say. I would really appreciate explanations for this:

Why can't government simply print 10 trillion naira in cash to, for instance, build a national rail system and reconstruct the entire power infrastructure using foreign contractors? Since such cash would not be directly injected into the economy, would it also cause hyper-inflation? How? I apologize for my ignorance in advance.

Those foreign companies wl never accept naira for their business transaction wt d government, u hv to pay them in dollars and printing a lot of naira wl mean lots of naira chasing a few dollar and the naira wld be worthless.

Mama-put business

trust me, this is no joke. I know the number of times i lodge in big hotels and my greatest problem becomes where to eat cos sometimes I'm not just ready to cough out the kind of money these hotels charge for their meals. If there's a good restaurant close by, believe me, the hotel restaurant will lose business. Anyway, this depends on the size of your shop.

A gud idea bt they hotel management wl fight u to finish if they continue to loose their customers to you.,so think twice or be prepared to face their attacks whch u might nt be able to cope wt.

Okay lets quote and analyse all the biblical verses you mentioned.


1.   Luke 1:26-38


She was a virgin, we all agree


Mary was highly favored, we all agree with this.

But with regard to her son, he alone was divine and will save his people from their sins, not Mary.


we agree on this

True


True.


So in summary from number 1, tell me where this bible passage called Mary :

1. Sinless
2. Was conceived sinless (Immaculate conception)
3. Was Divine




2.  John 2: 1-5

Please tell me how the above justifies Mary worship.



3. John 19: 25-27

The physical mother of Jesus, not of GOD. Mary is not the mother of GOD for GOD has no beginning and end. Absolute heresy.

Good


So why did Jesus not command the disciples at this stage to worship and adore Mary or even pray to her after his resurrection ?


4. Luke 1:48



Okay , so when we call her blessed, what does that have to do with praying to Mary, and asking her for mercy and grace ?


5.  Luke 11:27

And ? This means you should make statues of Mary, worship and pray to it ?


6.  Mathew 1: 24-25

And 

But if you read the meaning of this excerpt, "But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son", it means that after Jesus was born, Joseph knew his wife and she had other children.

Mark 3:31-"There came then His Brethren and His Mother, and standing without, sent unto Him calling Him."


Mark 6:3-"Is not this the carpenter, the Son of Mary, the Brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him."


Sorry, I am not sure what you are getting at by posting the bible references, but if you are trying to prove that Mary worship by the catholic church is justified by them, then you have failed.

And by the way when you reply, quote me verses from the bible where it mentions that Mary had an immaculate conception which means she was born without sin.

Heresy, Heresy, its all heresy!!!!!!!!

thanks for ur manner in addressing issues wtout directing ur grievances to ths poster,i wl gv u more bible passages.

If, on account of what the OP has written you reckoned he is a big i.d.i.o.t, then, YOU'RE THE BIGGEST I.D.I.O.T. Why not dispute his claim if you can. Otherwise, simply walk away from the thread. After all, the pope is the Antichrist

if u hv a bible just go thru this and get bak to me (Luke 1:26-38; John 2: 1-5; John 19: 25-27; Luke 1:48; Luke 11:27; Mathew 1: 24-25.) if u are still in doubt after reading ths just visit a psychia.

So, all of you are mothers? Anyway,it may be single mothers,all are mothers.

OP you are just wasting ur time wt all ths ur garbage writing and i wl like u to continue doing it coz i could see its giving u a sleepless nites.

ogajim:
Calling OP names doesn't address his points does it?

Are u the OP?

If anything happens to GEJ, walahi, there will be an all out civil war.
GEJ does not represent the Ijaws alone, he represents the Igbos too and most Southern people.

forget that your representation my friend.if any thing happens,if d ijaws ever initiate a civil war,they wl b on their own. SW and SE wl nt be joining u guys,so beta knw it nw.

You are a big i.d.i.o.t, who told u that catholic worships Mary? Ur facts are all wrong.

Op, why nt consult ur dictionary or wikipedia, ,na waa for ths frontpage sef.

The above is a personal choice not a factor that determines a country's standard of living.

Actually, it may looks like a personal choice bt it affects the greater percentage and that percentage represents the peoples mindset abt the country.
American standard of living is much better than Nigeria bt it has its bad side too. If u are doing well in Naija better stick to where you are and enjoy ur freedom,good climate and food.

One major problem wt Nigerians living in America is hardly they remembers home,always carried away by American life and nothing much to show back home.
If you do your statistics well you wl notice that others living in europe are better of than them.,i hv compared some of them in Germany,Austria and many other western europeans and some scandinavian countries wt those who hv lived in US even longer than them and d differences is wide clear.
You may be living a good life in America,spending a lot of dollars and Nigerians in ur area may be seeing u as a big guy bt right back at home,u are penniless. No investment,no good house not to talk of assisting ur people in Naija.

Gv me a Nigeria wt constant power supply,good roads and security and to hell wt ur America.

In as much as i admires Frank,he didn't behave well at all by broadcasting ths on twitter and a marriage of ten good years for that matter.

vindizzle:
I would advice you take your friends offer as long as you will receive the goods. its worth it if you trust him considering it would almost be the same to ship it via fedex or if not more. i am into shipping to naija anyways.

tnk for d reply

I want to order a laptop frm US thru a friend bt he's asking me to pay 15% as tax,$100 for shipping cost and $50 for money transfer.
After adding the above, i noticed that i wl be paying additional money of abt 30k naira extra.
Pls does anyone knw d average landing cost of a single laptop excluding d commodity price.

enuf of ths ur tribal remarks its getin out of hand.

That guy must be a scammer coz he sent a scam mail to me bt i dnt fall to such trick.
I wl advice evryone to avoid hm like a plague coz al ths posters defending hm are the same person wt diff id's. Beware

Shuld i opened an account with them in order to get the services?

No particular one is d best.

Marriage is enjoyable if u got d right partner.

Abuja,lagos,ibadan and enugu is okay.
Abuja- executives
Lagos-commercial as usual
Ibadan-judiciary
Enugu-legislative.

It depends on the type of girl u ar befriending. If she's a gold digger and only interested in sexx for material exchange,u wl definitely be on d loosing side. U wasted ur money,ur energy and she's gonna dump u weneva d money stops flowing. She wl also cheat on u and u wl be making luv wt her wt protection wtout enjoying d whole pleasure in sexx.
If ur ready for marriage just get a life partner and settle down bt if u cn control urself,go for a real runs girls and spend less.

@poster sorry 4 your problem bt as regards intercontinental bank,i wl try and close my accts wt them. I operate both GTB and Zenith and i prefer both to d former.
My problem wt them is that weneva i made a withdrawal wt them,i wl get a debit alert within 30mins bt wenever there is a deposit,they wl never send an alert.
I hav discuse that issue wt their customer care and i got a credit alert once and it never comes again.
Am more concern wt it coz i use it as my business transaction acct and u knw the inconvenience of going to d bank evryting a payment is made. The other two are my savings acct and i dnt wanna use them for biz transaction.

??

@poster, ths is just the problem wt Nigerians and its one of d rizn why evryone is striving to make it by all means wen they travelled abroad.
The people at home are the main cause of this behaviour because once they knw u hv travelled overseas,evryone wl be requesting for sometin and even telling u wat other guys that travelled were doing for their relatives. If u tel them that u are nt doing drugs bt a legitimate job,some wl say that u aren't smart enuf and that u are so dull.
I knw a guy that travelled to South Africa last year june,he thot he wl hit it fast bt nw he's regreting it,coming bak is his best decision nw bt he doesn't wnt to come bak empty handed. He shares a room wt 4 guys who came b4 hm and yet none is doing well,they hardly feeds and her sister has sent almost $3k to hm.
Its really a problem wt we Nigerians bt nt all.
