Some people cannot just appreciate anything good in their lifes. All they are good at is criticize and condemn. that is the way they were born and bred. and its not as if they can do or think better than the people they criticize. They just derive pleasure in opening their mouth and vomiting rubbish. just so they we say someone has a contrary opinion. *Long Hissssss*

Are you Funke Akindele

Isnt constructive criticism supposed to be part of your job'


The truth is that part 1 was whacky, do better with part 2. . . sefinin.

Hmm, this might just backfire on you, you know

Think twice ok!

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=599323.msg7670317#msg7670317 date=1296889638]It isn't an ordinary 's' in "Osun." It has that mark (diacritical?) under it.

Oshun makes sense, Osun with the mark under the 's' makes sense, Osun by itself (the way we write it online) does not. Least, this is my understanding (correct me if wrong.)[/quote]You are absolutely right

Am glad you starting to get it. Finally.

Long and short of it is that, We (the majority of Africans) will NEVER accept homosexuality as a decent way of life, NEVER, gay rights or not, tell that to all your folks.

She is white, she doesnt know what she is talking about!

Foolish girl

Reread my post

It is spelt Osun, but pronunced OSHUN.That is my point

I had a teacher in secondary school that used to pronounce Osun as osun, instead of Os[b]h[/b]un, and we all used to make fun of her.

Sagamite:
gay, you are already thinking of a stiff just because someone said they agree with an opinion?  

Downlow brother, AIDS is real.  

Very altruistic of you, coming to the defense of your brother.

It seems you are the macho guy is this relationship

You must love the anal fisting he gives you, innit?

Bro, do your thang mehn.

seanet02:
@fstranger, i think the r is as a result of French tonation which has mixed with the YORUBAS In Togo and Benin. It does not have any meaning in the Word. Even in YORUBA language, people have different ways of writing words and names even though it all connotes the same Meaning. Example is "OSUNWEMIMO" And "OSHUNWEMIMO" note the letter H different.

Not the same thing Oshun and Osun are accepted spelling variants of the same word. Abebayo[b]r[/b] is not an accepted way to spell what otherwise should have been spelt as Adebayo

Oshun and Osun are spelt depending on what part the person is from. And, You know that if you pronounce Osun as it is spelt, you'd be made fun off as uncivilized. Even though, the correct spelling is Osun, it is pronounced Oshun. And, the Os[b]h[/b]un pronunciation is the only accepted pronunciation.

But do those guys call themselves Yoruba. You cant just label people what they are not.

seanet02:
Cotonou though is not a YORUBA town but has lots of YORUBA dwellers, the towns in benin that are YORUBA towns are many prominent among them is Ajase-Ipo And Ketu, the Alaketu of Ketu Visited Nigeria last year, OGUN state precisely and spoke YORUBA fluently. B[b]enin President is also A YORUBA man.[/b]

Just because the Ooni gave him s chieftaincy title doesnt mean he is Yoruba

OAM4J:
I wish I have a golden answer to your question, but I dont. I agree with your thought, it is the same reason I didn't argue against eku_bear statement

I see some senses in sagamite signature about 'Geniocracy - Rule of the Genius' that is, if we have a well tested parameter to measure intelligence, then we should allow only the intelligent people to vote and take decisions. (of course it will be easier said than done.)

You see some sense in Sagmite's POV?

What else about Sagamite do you like? his di-ck? what about his arse?

seanet02:
He also speaks YORUBA fluently, though that does not mean he is from Nigeria, but i am sure he is from Nigeria, the last time he visited Nigeria, he was in Kwara state, dont know what he went there for

Adebayo speaks Yoruba fluently?

Hearing that for the first time?

My point is that putting 'r' at the end of his last name is significant and I dont know why a Yoruba person would pull such a schitzo

^^^^ Agolo


She doesnt speak Yoruba at all
She claims she sings in Yoruba, but half of the time what she sings about is lost in translation

Look at you

Screw you!

I have started reporting you too

Once I get banned, one or two posts after. you 'd be banned as well


Oloshi!

seanet02:
I mean he has a dual citizenship of Both Nigeria and Togo.

Where in Osun State are his parents from?

My point is that he is probably not Yoruba?


Is Anjelique Kidjo Yoruba?

seanet02:
But Adebayor's Parents is from osun State. He has dual citizenship

Where in Osun State?

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=599323.msg7670164#msg7670164 date=1296886535]Understand almost all of your post, aside from this part:
What do you mean, that doesn't make him Yoruba?[/quote]Do you know Angelique Kidjo?

Have you listened to her most famous song, what language do you think she was speaking?

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=599323.msg7670126#msg7670126 date=1296885527]^-- I googled the term "mahinmi -ian -nba -mavericks -spurs -mavs", saw lots of Yoruba folk with Mahinmi in their name.

Adebayor is from Nigeria I thought, just put in an 'r' for no good reason[/quote]I really dont know why Adebayo put the 'r'

That said, It is kinda condescending to rubbish the real impact of the 'r' without you doing some research on it

He was born in Togo to Yoruba parents from Osun state. That doesnt mean the parents are from Osun State, and that doesnt make him Yoruba

Titi Abubakar for instance was born in Osun, but originally from Togo

Itz like rubbishing the Kwaran way of speaking Yoruba without really understanding why they put 'fa' after every sentence even though 'fa' adds absolutely nothing to the message they are trying to convey.

seanet02:
@fstranger, right but dont you think it can also mean "PRAISE ME" If you pronounce the "Ma" as "Do" and the "hin" as "Re". Sometimes it can also be an Ancestral name in which the pronunciation can be totally different from the meaning example is "AJALA"which does not in any way connotes any of the meaning you could have think. "Ma" can also mean "me" has it been you put YORUBA sign or Ami on it, i could have done better. Moreover, benin names are spelt in a way that shows french pronunciation eg "ADEBAYOUR"

I totally agree with you

That is why we need those 'ami' to make sure what the real pronunciation is, which would in turn lead to the real meaning

If I needed an Engineer and given the choice between A Yoruba graduate form Oxford and an Engineer from Benin, I'd go with the Yoruba graduate from Oxford.

Yeah, trust me, Oxford is that spectacular.

still better than an economics degree from the best university in Nigeria by far

proof

You Ibo people are really pathetic!

Not quite sure


It probably means "Dont praise me"

Now, not sure if the spelling hasnt been tampered with

Also, like most things from Benin, the Yoruba is not always as straightforward or the same as what you see/get in Nigeria

They have a different way, and a different spelling for common Yoruba words. Like in Togo where they seem to put "R" behind every word that ends with an "o" e.g Adebayo[b]r[/b]

Also, how are we so sure the name had a Yoruba origin? There other ethnic groups in Benin besides Yoruba, you know that right?
