As weird as this is going to sound, I'd be glad to for two reasons. 1)A dirty enviroment affects my mood & 2) cleaning is one of those things I find relaxing + enjoyable. Above all, I'd be disgusted to eat or drink anything if I knew there was a pile of dirty dishes in the same kitchen.

hello...hi...

Uhm... There's this pile of dishes in my sink i'm staring at right now, and i feel kinda tired already just looking at it...

Was wondering if you'd like to come over dear, for a nice piece of pie.

WafiChapo:
Yup, There we go. Every man for himself, unless he's an "elected leader" or civil servant. That ugly look on things is what makes Nigeria crap.

I don't even know where to begin educating you that you have elected representatives for a purpose.

If you haven't asked any of them what they are doing with your Commonwealth I don't see any reason why you should ask a private citizen not to talk of unelected royalty whose powers are reduced to merely cultural and ceremonial functions.

This is not America where you are supposed to ask what you can do for your country because your fvcking country has done Nothing for you. And Yes it's every man for himself.

Sad.

LASG had better station policemen every 10meters on that bridge.

I like this fiction. Very interesting. Better patent it before Nollywood releases part 1 to 10 of the movie.

The lady above me sha, you too dey watch GOT.

Family is important. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

You shouldn't have hidden that fact from your family.

Now to them it looks like she's manipulating you.

Give them time to come to terms with the info.

But let them know that she's your choice regardless.

Stick by her. She didn't abort the child, otherwise you wouldn't have known.

We make mistakes. No one is immune.

Marry her.

I've Done Extensive research on this Matter.
She Think its Spiritual, but I disagree.

The person who wrote that, is He a mannequin or a statue that the girl is climbing n his laps and manipulating his hands to her groin area without resistance from him?

He should be arrested and charged for paedophilia. Idiot.

How do you stop her, He asks? Tori Oloun!

How about you give her a brain-rejuvenating slap.

Since you say you're Igbo, I don't know If it is part of your culture to inherit your brother's wife. But it sounds somehow to me anyway.

If she gets pregnant for you and gives birth to your child what would be the relationship of that child to your own kids? Step sibling or cousin?

I love this post.

So so true.

That's why I always tell people. If you like date for a hundred years, the first day of your marriage begins another chapter in your lives and you should be ready for lots of shockers, because your spouse you think you know like the back of your hand will totally surprise you.

You can only hope you have the right person and that their faults (hidden) will be something you can actually live with.

greatgod2012:
This op is not a Yoruba guy, for him to even specifically say he's a Yoruba man means he's only typing what he's typing to tarnish Yoruba image! He's definitely one of those people who hate Yoruba tribe for no reasonable purpose!




@op, continue o, you'll definitely reap what you're sowing!

You are right. Just leave him let him be fooling himself.

dprincedej:
I am a typical Yoruba man. I loved my wife. No marriage is perfect. I hav beaten her several times and sent her out of the house, I hav two kids. I hav cheated on her inside and outside my matrimonial home. I hav been rude to her parents. I hav avoided paying my kids sch fees at times. I hav abstained from sex with her for several months in a roll. I hav borrowed money from her family members without paying back. I hav denied her as my wife. I hav embarrasses her in public and turned my people against her. But guess what. She is not perfect either. She can not take risk for me. She hates all my ideas. She doesn't trust me. She is unfriendly. She is lazy. She is a bad cook. She loves her family to a fault while hating mine. We got into a fight and I sent her packing out of anger She was arrogant enough to leave with all her belongings even the dust pan. I hav admitted my wrong doing and begged for forgiveness from everyone she knows. She said she would only trust me if I send her upkeep but I no longer had a job. I begged for years but she didn't give me a chance. It has been six years now and I have made it. I hav remarried now to a caring woman who helped me to prosper and stood by me. Have I done any wrong? I begged for years. I admitted my mistakes and promised. If my first wife loved me the way I loved her, would she not hav come back? Should a Yoruba woman ever desert her husband and father of her kids for that long? Did she expect me to stay single forever? She is talking bad about me because she didn't expect I would make it. God has put her to shame. Please comment only if you are above 40yrs. I don't need comment from small idiots who are not married.

Your attitude stinks. And who gives a flying fvck If you're Yoruba or Igbira.

I wonder how women fall for humans like this. Really!

Fogman:
.

Guy why now?

So sad.

Meanwhile...

People don't even have shame anymore.

They change spouses like they change underwear.

Shameless, social-media, selfie-taking generation.

I pity the children they'll bring to this world.

OmoIgala:
Google his name.

Okpanachi.

I didn't say you were wrong. I acknowledged my mistake.

Olu317:
According to several studies, Neanderthal DNA exists in all Europeans at a frequency of 1-3% as well as in Asians. Alongside those studies, the claim was made that Neanderthal DNA is absent in Africa.
Recent studies revealed that this is not correct



The white researchers tried to cover it after such massive discoveries. IF this wasn't true, how come Yoruba have 4% untraceable DNA?

Here is one out of two I have seen...Even with the comparison along Ibo, Edo, Fulani.

Thanks I'll check it out.

OmoIgala:
He is Igala for God's sake!

Lolest. I can't believe this. Really? My mistake then.

We'll I'm glad your name is Okpanachi. I'll tell you to ask your brothers who are clamouring for Biafra.

Amusaopeyemi:
Oga go to Ife and stop calling me a Liar (My friend's dad is one of the High Priest there. My Uncle was Area Commander there for a while and I used that opportunity to meet Important people and asked questions) Oduduwa was never called Ooni when he was king of Ife abeg.
It was after his Death that they started using the title Ooniririsha for kings.
PS :- I don't even know the Book you're talking about. Don't come here saying things you don't know about.

You are quite right.

Oduduwa was never referred to as Ooni, as a matter of fact, the first Ooni wasn't even his son.

All his children had dispersed to found their own kingdoms.

You're correct ma'am.

Olu317:
I agree with you on language development. If you know the history of England, you will marvel at the rate in which it developed to the current one being spoken. Despite the claim that English developed out of Germanic language. Still, they weren't Germanic stock. This show that people can come habit with other groups due to migration but doesn't make them the same stock. A clear case study is THE LATE BOB MARLEY WHOSE MOTHER WAS BLACK WOMAN BUT HIS FATHER WAS A PURE WHITE MAN. Can you now claim him to be of AFRICAN DESCENT? This is practically not true. So, be sincere with ourselves on issues as sensitive as this. I stand by my point, Yoruba are different from all other groups in West Africa and the ones who has similar religion with Yoruba is AKAN of Ghana, and even they maintain there migration out of ILE IFE. Do you know Yoruba have a DNA CONNECTION to Neanderthal which doesn't belong to Africa but EURO-ASIA? DO YOU KNOW YORUBA IS THE ONLY GROUP WITH THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF UNTRACEABLE TRAIT IN NIGERIA AND AFRICA WITH 4%? Yoruba people are funny because they are too spiritual to understand the things of the spirit itself. Take for instance, how can Yoruba claim the beginning of mankind? Yet the oldest human presence is approximately 13,000 years ago and the skull is not even a Yoruba ancestor. May be I Should emphasize that since 1965, it was discovered, there hasn't been any outright claim by the white scientists to claim the skull as a Yoruba ancestor. Abram was the one God promised to give all part of the world in which his children will dwell. How on earth then will Yoruba claim ILE IFE as the beginning of mankind?. Absolutely IMPOSSIBLE when 2.8 million years old HUMAN SKULL exist in East Africa...

Truth is, we can all make grand claims but unless they are proven beyond reasonable doubt, they will still be guesses, Maybe educated guesses, but guesses nonetheless.

One thing that is common to the stories of all groups worldwide is water. Lots of it. Flood, If you like. And it is possible that there existed an advanced civilization that covered the earth way before this present one.

If there was a flood that covered the whole earth at one point in time (and there are physical indications to support this theory) then the possibility of bodies being washed from one continent to another is very likely.

There are whole cities buried under the sea and I read of a pyramid larger than the one at Giza in Egypt found beneath the Atlantic ocean where the Bermuda triangle is located.

So there are indeed mysteries on this earth that we know Nothing of.

Having said that, I must admit that I haven't read anything concerning Yoruba DNA that you mentioned.

It'd be great If you can post a link here so that I can follow it.

If only our rapacious politicians can be a little bit less myopic and understand the need to research, understand and preserve the Yoruba race...

codemaniacs:
to understand yoruba, words have to be deconstructed..

Halleluyah = Aye oluwa(Ayeluwa) - Life of God/God is life.

jerusale(m) - je (eat) iru( seeds) isale(downstairs/ground) = eat seeds in the ground..

try to use logic... Anyone who understands the language knows how to interpret it... you and most people on this saying rubbish are definitely not yoruba so stop trying to complicate things you don't understand.. most of the time the answer you seek is right in front of you..

I have heard you. Just move to one side with your yeye logic. Iranu.

I'm not Yoruba, because na you born me.

Afira get off my mentions.

baby124:
They obviously didn't know the meaning. It's the Hausa's that gave them that name and somehow it stuck. Anago is also derogatory, and that is the name Yoruba's in Benin republic are called. I once met a beninoise lady and she did call me Anago. Even though I corrected her that I was Yoruba. She told her friend that I am Anago.

Phew!!

Look How far we've come, on pure conjectures, lol.

I really wish there was a written history of the Yorubas dating back to prehistoric times.

I remember being taught some of this history back in PRIMARY SCHOOL! Can you believe that.

I wish the governors of the Western states, home of the modern day Yorubas, will sponsor a commission made up of the best historians and archaeologists to unearth the Yoruba history.

Sometimes knowing where one is coming from helps one to figure out where he should be heading towards.

Olu317:
YARUBA DYNASTY WAS ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT FROM YORUBA/JOROBAM...I KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE YA'RU BA DYNASTY (QAHATAN) WHICH CHASED AWAY THE ISRAELITE FROM YEMEN AND KILLED THE JEWISH RULER. YORUBA OF NIGERIA WILL NEVER BEAR A NAME IF THE YORUBA WERE FOUGHT AGAINST AND THEIR LEADER WAS KILLED. CAN YOU AS A HUMAN BEINGS ACCEPT TO BE CALLED THE NAME OF YOUR OPPRESSORS? FORGET YOUR TRANSLATION. YORUBA LANGUAGE IS MODERN.

All living languages go through changes eventually and the Yoruba language is no exception.

But, unlike most languages, there are very many dialects of the same Yoruba language and this has helped in a way to preserve the Yoruba language from being too influenced by languages of neighboring ethnic groups.

While I submit that the Yorubas irrespective of dialect are one people, I maintain that the dialect spoken by the Ijebu, the Ondo, the Itshekiri and Ekiti are closer to the early Yoruba language generally spoken by the ancient Yorubas.

The Ibadan, Oyo, Ogbomoso, Ilorin and Ife dialect are much closer to the general Yoruba which is our native lingua franca.

I stand to be corrected though.

baby124:
Yoruba is derogatory. It means stubborn or thuggish or troublesome. Maybe because we were always at war at the time. Yoruba's within themselves always went by their sub group name. Like Ijesha, Ekiti, Ijebu and so on. It's outsider's that gave us names to categorize the related people. People from benin republic call us Anago which I hear is also derogatory.

It is possible that the name was meant to be derogatory, but I so much doubt it.

Why would a people gladly bear a name which is derogatory when they weren't slaves?

The first instinct If you were called a derogatory name would be to feel offended.

The next logical step wouldn't be to adopt that name proudly.

codemaniacs:
you're very wrong...

Yoruba means:

Yo = joy
iru = seeds
oba = gods/goddesses/kings/queens

Yoruba = joy of gods..

now replace the Yo with Ya or Iya..

jantavanta would love this thread

No, I think you are the one who is mistaken here.

Yoruba was the name given to the travellers who were passing through the Northern part of modern day Nigeria.

The natives there after encountering these travelers marveled at the superiority of their knowledge and culture and exclaimed. "Yarubawa ".

Now I can't recall what that word means but it was later corrupted to Yoruba.

Seun:
This is one of the reasons why atheists must speak out. This superstitious country needs us desperately.

Yeah right, like a bullet in the head.

I don't understand this again o.

Is there any part of our constitution forbidding humans from turning to any animal or plant that they fancy?

The woman should be glad that this happened before the wedding and not after the wedding with three children running around somewhere.

Leave them. They both deserve each other.

If He can cheat with your best friend against you, be rest assured that he'll cheat with someone else against her.

Karma is a lovely woman with the teeth of a shark and the horns of a demon. Just leave them to her and Thank God that you dodged a bullet.

Olu317:
PLEASE DON'T DESTROY MY HERITAGE. YORUBA WAS NEVER NOK AT ANY POINT IN TIME OF HISTORY. YORUBA CULTURE IS NOT RELATED TO ANY IN WEST AFRICA AND NIGERIA. IT STAND OUT AMONGST ALL. THIS IS THE REASON THE WHITE RESEARCHERS WHO HAD DONE MORE RESEARCH THAN EVEN THE ARAB TRAVELLERS KNOW YORUBA HISTORY MORE THAN THE LOCALS


IF YOU REFER TO CONNECTION BETWEEN YORUBA AND EDO PEOPLE, YORUBA THOUGHT THEM ART / SCULPTURE. BRITISH MUSEUM HAS FACT ON THIS ISSUE.

Did you read my post at all? Especially the last part?

There was a time when our progenitors weren't bearing the name "Yoruba". The term Yoruba in the history If those bearing that name is a very very recent appellation.

Besides where in my post did I mention edo?

Please read my post again.

Daniyemi:
Modified* I was well aware that no viable solution will come from nairalanders. As usual they didn't disappoint.
I wonder if it was my own doing to have had the girls say yes to me almost at the same time.
I will resort to prayers.

That bolded part caught my attention.

Who do you want to pray to? The same God who told you not fornicate? Good luck with that.

You took a girl's virginity, now you're wondering If she's not going to be sleeping around, and because of that you want to break up with her.

Your brain should be flogged sir.
