Azanor:
I like to form "Retro RPG Gamer" but more often than not, it's becuase my system can't handle the really heavy modern stuff.

LOL!
Don't worry the 'Modern' stuff is just stuff

Speaking of 'Modern', Anyone on COD:BO?

Funny.

It's not about the singing! Katie constantly puts XFactor in the News, why would they send her home! lol
Never really liked TreyC but atleast She made Top Ten, got exposure, money, fine clothes, lace-front peruvian hair. e.t.c
she can return to her boyfriend now.

Skidoc:
^^^not about voting. I'm basing it on what I hear people say. Only black men seem to fancy her.

Well she is dating a 'white' dude, some must fancy her,
but sadly, Guys carry no weight in voting.

Well this is definitely something to watch.
RSOE has been updated now.

Skidoc:
The majority of UK don't think so.

Doesn't matter.

Voting power lies in the Judges hands, and none of them thinks she has the X-Factor
plus they don't want another Alexandra Burke

Treyc is DEFINITELY the finest girl on the Xfactor now

The best performances tonight,

Matt
Paijie
and
Treyc

Simon is starting to annoy me, this is definitely one of the worst nights ever.

Wow. I can't believe how ignorant people are  

texazzpete:
You've kept at this for far longer than i thought you would. That's a good thing in my books.
With luck you'll marry a strapping Uneme lad and produce 5 Uneme kids who will jabber all day in the Uneme Language

LMAO

Go away jo, don't you know its harder when I'm 'in love' with a Yoruba man.
wahala dey o.

What is wrong in people trying to eat??
Why the brouhaha over this.

Whales are now sacred creatures??
But some here will open their mouth to eat Dog meat.

Obiagu1:
Going extinct? It’s a bit confusing. Are Uneme people dying off, or being wiped out (annihilated) by others, or are they being transformed to other people?
If they are being transformed, what are they being transformed into? Bini, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo.

Extinct. . well, its more about the culture than the people.
Many are dying off ofcourse, but the main issue is about them being
Transformed. .lol, Assimilated (being the politically correct term) yes they are,
Yoruba. . .more so than others, but the cultures which border them on the North,
have had some influence. Many youths also prefer to speak 'Bini'

I remember my mum only recently talking about her primary school friend who married a Yoruba man,
and was going to visit her in another country. .
''. . .She can hardly speak Uneme, She's Yoruba now''

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=41124.msg7080893#msg7080893 date=1288908664]I am so proud of what you've done. I think we have a great culture and rich history as Africans and should prioritise preserving it. I know there are people that simply don't care. We won't pay them any mind.

-Isale Gangan[/quote]I'm afraid I'm not doing enough,
but I'm glad I have been able to raise awareness so far.
Thanks

Read this ---> http://blackagendareport.com/?q=content/existential-crisis-us-capitalism

and read, Martin Jacques - When China Rules the World.

Capitalism is a major failure.

I really like that the topic has moved to the Nigerian context,
and this posts raises valid points, this has to be etched into our mindsets

I guess this original poster to this post did not intend it to be narrowed down to Nigeria, but since most of us are Nigerians lets do so.

1. People give examples with Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark. USA, China, UAE, Britain, Canada and Japan. These countries are practicing variant forms of mixed economies. That is to say, they are neither capitalists nor socialists. They just do what suit their citizens and their country as a whole.

2. The problem with Nigerian theorists, such as the ones on this forum is that they look so much on other succesful countries as models, without considering whether their system will be suitable to Nigeria, with all its dynamics. If travelling by boat is the fastest way in country AA, lets implement it in country BB without considering if coutry BB has rivers or if it is a mere desert

3.  Fela, the legendary musician was once asked what economic system best suited Africa. He said capitalism, socialism, communism dont suit Africa, what suits Africa is Africanism, which is Africans doing what works for them. In the case of Nigeria, Nigeria doing what works for her.

4. One needs to look at most of the laws in Nigeria, for instance taxation law, insurance policies and so many other things all copied verbatim from the British ones, thereby creating conflicts with our internal natural system

5. USA is successful and it doesnt practice the same system with Sweden. Sweden is successful and it doesnt practice the same system with Britain. Britain is successful and it doesnt practice the same system with China. China is successful and it doesnt practice the same system with Saudi Arabia.

7. Why can't Nigerian theorists stop using words like socialism, capitalism, state capitalism, communism, etc. and start talking of Nigerianism?

I like M Nwankwo's take on Spirits and Herbs,
I have an Uncle who is both a Pastor and 'Nutritionist'
Through his help, I'm using herbs to treat a particular ailment I have.
I think Christians most especially need to give up the 'it is devilish' talks
these things are real and true.

About Animals, So perhaps its true that Dogs can see ghosts!

It's weird this comes up now, having a discussion with my uncle on this, just hours ago. (Comm Vs Cap) ism
MY opinion, Capitalism is Evil, Making Man worse than he already was.

Everything else I wanted to say, has been said! at this point

Show off ^^

The Edo lingua Franca has largely been the 'Bini' tongue, because Lingua franca is usually the language of the more influential
I know, many who speak Bini and Uneme, because they wanted to live in the 'city'
My mum's Uneme town, Unemenekhua, was largely influenced by the nearby Yorubas, so Ligua franca in that area became Yoruba, and some people, actually 'became' Yoruba
But yeah, I figure these days, Pidgin is cutting across every area.

I do know that these our languages are getting wiped out, I can hardly speak myself,
but I'm beginning to learn, I think It's up to us to actually take a stand and do something,
before these things turn to relics like so many others.
It's really sad that all people want to do now is speak Oyinbo pass Oyinbo.

We will survive.

@Erionose,

Enlighten me.

Of Course they all knew that, how is this news??  

[quote author=Aloy+Emeka link=topic=542466.msg7048530#msg7048530 date=1288493154]How did you meet Fela?
I used to take food to an uncle of mine known as Gabriel Okpaku. He had a studio. I would take the food to him there. One day, when I got to the studio, he locked me in the dark room and walked away, leaving me in company with Fela, who was visiting him at the time. I had sex with Fela that day. Later, Fela said he wouldn't like me to live in the same house as his boys in the Mosalasi area. He took me to his first wife, Remi, who was Femi's mother. The first day I saw her, I was shocked because she was very light and her hair was as long as that of a white woman. Fela left me in her care and asked her to take care of me. I told her everything about myself and she said that if I should take her word and be like a daughter to her, there would not be any problem.[/quote]She sang a different tune in the book, and her memory then was FRESH.
She carried her legs to his house.

Was it on the same day that Fela's mother was killed?

Yes, the soldiers killed his mother on that day. They came in with arms and were prepared to kill everybody in sight. Immediately they started shooting, I went to hide in the toilet. But they found me and beat the hell out of me. I saw them go upstairs to Fela's mother and carry her. At that point, I was in pains and half-conscious. But I knew they threw her downstairs. They were really determined to kill.

Either she is lying or Fela is.

I actually just realized this. . .

2hrs is the max amount of time I can spend around people in a day
without getting highly strung

Still so much to be learnt. . .

Cher Loyd owned it! I have to admit, Singing one of my fave songs of all time!

But this person looks like a spirit, her performance was kinda fun
