Is that a 'Fila'?

kbdrim:
Northerners dont do security jobs, sweeping of streets, washing toilet in UK, they come to study or joy their lives cos they got class, get ova it southerners

That's because they are the ones making their Hausa brothers at home the people dominating those jobs in Nigeria. There is absolutely nothing to brag about.

There's also a village that has now been absorbed by Port Harcourt called Rumuigbo.

Guess how I read this. Nigeria ntọọọọ!

So the Igbo got 'kwe' from the Bini? I don't know of any Bini being assimilated in Ebonyi or Abia.

Dede1:
@OP

The adoption of Hausa language by a London retailer should not be surprise to any sound thinking Nigerian. The British people are not silly as they actually knew which ethnic group or related ethnic groups which had looted and continue to loot Nigeria bare.

After all, it's them that positioned them there now.

exotik:
lol, chyz,

orisha/or orisa is also one of the "yoruba" names for god or deity. so which one man go come believe?

ok, what of the "kwe" part of it? does it mean agree in "igbo" dialects?

coz i know in edo, "kwe" means agree  and "osa" means god. and that just seems to perfectly rhyme with osa-kwe meaning god-agrees and it is also the same with the "igbo" meaning.

I'm beginning to think Igbo and Edo are the same thing, I can even understand some written Bini And Igbo and Edo people resemble each other.

People may use that to wound innocent people.

ola olabiy:
You are right. But, those Mallams don't go to Debenhams. You will notice that they shop at Harrods.

Their wives would shop at Debenhams.

ola olabiy:
Then, at least, 2,000 Hausas must visit per week to warrant a campaign

And you think a number close to that is impossible?

Andre Uweh:
Lazy calculation by the superstore. Hausa men in the U.K are very scanty, less than 5,000. Even the ones that come from Nigeria do not go about on suits. In a country where the Yorubas are about 60,000 and Ndigbo 50,000, it is abnormal not to include Yoruba and Igbo inscription that Hausa. Wrong move.

There are more than a million Nigerians in the UK.

This brings up the question of how many women are violated in Nigeria.

Abeg, is not about the price of items, it's about that fact that they decided to put Hausa language among only three other foreign languages in their stores. This means that the volume of spending by the Hausa is large, large enough for them to place them by the richest tourists. So what if a 20 pounds shirt is nothing to you? If a shop gets a hundred Hausa people buying 20 of those shirts each visit, then they are going to notice them and that is buying power.

Ngodigha:
We hope to see another round of demonstration like the one in the photograph here. Shameless people.

Ndodigha, please remove that picture, this story is sensitive and does not relate to that mess.

I don't know if it's just the state oh, the whole of Nigeria seems to be developing a new brand of violence, but this is just disgusting, especially coming from a policeman who is supposed to be protecting citizens, not impregnating people's baby's.

Policeman despoils, impregnates 12-yr-old

BY GBENGA ARIYIBI
A Police officer in Ekiti State Police Command, has been arrested by the command for allegedly despoiling and impregnating a 12-year old girl.

The suspect whose name was given as Lasisi Nurudeen Olalekan, was said to have lured the Junior Secondary School, JSS 1, student (names withheld) to a nearby bush around Textile area, Ado Ekiti sometimes last year.

The randy police officer, a corporal has been arrested on the order of the police commissioner, Mr Olayinka Balogun, following a complaint from Mrs Juliana Olajiga, a guardian to the innocent girl.

According to a petition written by Mrs Rita Ilevbare, on behalf of a non-governmental organisation which was forwarded to the State police command, the NGO had raised an alarm over the illicit action of the policeman and called on the police authority to arrest the suspect.

In the petition dated May 19, 2011, the suspect was said to have assaulted Mrs Olajiga when she confronted him over his disgaceful act.

However, the State Commissioner of Police, Mr Balogun has confirmed the reciept of the petition, disclosing that the accused person has been arrested and that a senior officer has been assigned to commence investigations into the matter.

In the petition entitled: “Sexual abuse of Miss Bimbo and assault of Mrs Juliana Olajiga by Police Officer, Lasisi Nurudeen Olalekan”, demand for arrest, investigation and prosecution”, the policeman was alleged to have deceived the victim twice and forcefully had a carnal knowledge of her, which led to her impregnation.

Mrs Olajiga, according to the petition was said to have tried for over three months to locate Olalekan to respond to the complaint from Bimbo, but to no avail .

The NGO further alleged that the victim had inflicted bodily injuries on the complainant (Mrs Olajiga) at her residence Similoluwa on  May 12, 2011 when the Policeman was eventually found.

While calling for the prosecution of the suspected police officer, the organisation said, “Sir, it would interest you to note that this child, Bimbo, is a about six months pregnant, a minor, an orphan who is 12 years old

“The education and the future of such a great child has been dimmed by a man, a security agent for that matter, who for any reason, will not allow the future of his children to be tampered with. We demand that justice be done in this matter by arresting and prosecuting Olalekan if indeed is culpable”, it concluded.

Nigeria has a lot of problems, I think we can agree.

[quote author=Rhino.5dm link=topic=676290.msg8406896#msg8406896 date=1306532892]Why the sudden hype about the HAUSAS?

I thought they a illiterate dirty  stinking almajiris.
A popular hausa proverb.

"kuna muna kallon biri muna muku kallon ayaba".

which can be translated as. . .
"una dey  see us as monkies while we see una as bananas"[/quote]No need to get excited, we're talking about 0.00000001% of the Hausa population, who also see other Hausa as Bananas.

Is there anything that isn't green and white in Nigeria. All this forced patriotism.

Is that a picture of an Ijaw boat?

Black man and rape. Not to sound stupid, but with America's history, how many stories do we trust just from newspapers?

Abeg, becomrich matemate, let me join you.

Hausa people will rather suffer in their own country than to go to another to do the same, whereas southerners are full up in the UK suffering. The irony is that both the economic migrants and the people who cause these people to migrate are living in the same city.

Southerners, stay there and be fighting yourselves, oh?!

Signs in Chinese, Arabic, and Hausa. Can you imagines Nigeria's own Hausa being coupled with the Arabs and Chinese, how much are they even spending?

ChinenyeN:
Andre, I know some Ika people. My aunt is actually married into an Ika family, and they pronounce it "Eka", much like how Abiriba, Alayi (Elayi), etc. pronounce theirs. That "e" strain isn't difficult to notice.

It may depend on their dialect. Agbor people say 'Ika'.

jason123:
Chinenye, I think it has to do with perception and affinity or togetherness. What I mean by this is, if some Ekas feel more Bini than Igbo, then they are Binis. The other Igbo groups feel more affiliated to eachother, hence, they are COLLECTIVELY Igbo.

There has never been a time when a significant amount of Ika people ever felt Bini. It's either Ika-Igbo or just Ika. Have you seen the arguments on this thread?

So they are Nike people not Onicha? Okay.

ChinenyeN:
Are you talking about the 'Ocole' names up there? Ocole [Okolie] (as in Okorie)? Is that what you mean?

I think it might be Okoli instead.

ChinenyeN:
There's actually a village or people by that answer 'Nike Onicha' (said to actually be 'Nike Enu Onicha') though.

Where is it?
