PoliticsRe: North Korea Warns Nigeria by Efewestern: 10:44am On Sep 03, 2017
Statsocial:
Isreal can certainly match North Korea. Isreal is a very much merciless nation that has lived amongst enemies for centuries and yet thrived. A war with North Korea and Isreal would be fought in the skies with supersonic jets-which Isreal has more and ICBM-which North Korea hasn't even perfected. Even NK can't dare India, Pakistan talkless of isreal.
can isreal dare Indian?

Pakistan are not on the same league with North Korea. It will be genocide.

Forget those hype about isreal, without US isreal can't stand NK, I even doubt if isreal can match Egypt.
PoliticsRe: North Korea Warns Nigeria by Efewestern: 9:25am On Sep 03, 2017
No African country can stand North Korea, not even countries from middle east e. g isreal.

I don't believe this news, but if this is true, then they are just blabbing, US are just waiting for a perfect time to strike and if they touch Nigeria or any US territory like Guam, then watch as they burn North Korea to the ground.

IN ALL THAT TWITTER HANDLE IS FAKE

livinbygrace:
Some parents destroys their children"s lives with their oversabi attitude,if you really love her,pray to God and let the will of God be done.Sometimes you have to ignore your parent advise and do what is obtainable.If you loose that girl now,it will take you the grace of God to get a better lady.I was told the same thing over 10 years ago and till date am regretting.The same lady i was advised not to marry,has graduated ,married with kids and at close to 40, am still single with no serious relationship and the same parents are the one putting pressure on me now.So my dear,all you need is prayer and act accordingly.
Thanks for this advice.

A man should always be a man, not every time you bend to your moms pressure.

You are still young, you can still get a good girl, just be prayerful.

This is a serious issue.

do you think your girl is okay?
if yes then talk to your mom, and please don't tell your fiancé what's going on, so she won't hate your mom later when you get married to her.

PoliticsRe: Full Names Of Nnpc New Appointments In Geo Political Zones. Ss=2, Sw=3, North=1 by Efewestern: 8:22pm On Aug 31, 2017
Blue3k:
You argument doesn't hold water. You don't judge collectively by entire population for appointments it's based on people available that qualify. Next if they have have experience in oil sector obviously they got it working where there's oil. You don't need to be born in an oil producing community to work in oil sector or have knowledge. I'm not surprised you don't want to talk about qualifications it's about quotas for Nigerians.



Yup look at how people name Check state of origin instead of qualifications. In a perfect world I say sell of NNPC and just deregulate oil market.
This is not acceptable, The igbos will continue to agitate for their country if your government fails to address trivial issues such as this.

I have not heard the Ijebu dialect befre but I believe if i do i will understand


The Ilaje dialect is almost d same with the Itsekiri language..


As for the Okpe part. The thing thick die o

I think the Okpe x Itsekiri use common words/names most of the time because one of my Uncle's name is also an Okpe name.

+I have seen Okpe people bearing Temisan/Tosan


Uvwie Dialect anoda thick one lol...



I also heard Ofoni dialect ia deadlyn too
Okpe are closely related to itsekiri through sapele, it's normal for urhobo to bear itsekiri names, most urhobo family bears itsekiri names, same with itsekiri bearing urhobo names.

Okpe don't bear tosan, tosan is pure yoruboid ilaje uses Tosin , maybe you're confusing some itsekiri clan in okpe land to be okpe.

The uvwie dialect is almost different from General urhobo,.

The ilaje language should be closer to itsekiri and you guys share same names, and even family names, they are your kit n kin.

Efe, bia, take ya time o.

How am I supposed to transliterate that? Not sure I'm that efficient with the dialect angry
I should help with the translation.

Orokwa means boy/brother in uvwie, in urhobo it's oniovo / Okon e. tc

Bo'ma means get up in uvwie, in urhobo we say Vreh, eg wen we greet in urhobo you answer Vreh do, but in uvwie we say Bo'ma do.

Ru'fe means be Rich, be strong, be bold e. tc.

could go on and on, truth is the uvwie dialect is almost different from urhobo, my mom don't understand it she only picks out some few words.

Money in uvwie is Ekowa why In some part it's Edonor', in urhobo we use Igho. so names like OmoviDonor = Omovigho

bla bla bla

am not your urhobo teacher.
