TV/MoviesRe: X-factor (Who's Watching) by Gamine(f): 8:37pm On Sep 13, 2010
That wasn't their first audition so I wonder what these x-factor people are up to,
Most of all these auditions are staged.

CultureRe: The Truth About The Number Of Nigerian Languages by Gamine(f): 8:31pm On Sep 13, 2010
''For Languages to have historical connections, they must either have,
diffusional or genetic resemblance''


If you really want to classify languages under your terms, Mr poster
You will find that the whole world really does speak one language.

The 'Edo' language does not exist, please where are the 1million speaking this language??

chyz:
Im talking about Akoko Edo. There are people there called the Igarras, they are close proximity to the yorubas. They are a small tribe that most likely be consumed by the yoruba. The speak yoruba, name their children yoruba names, even the culture is so interwined with yoruba. Alot of them are of yoruba stock apart from the Igarra tribe. I know people who are Igarra.Go to a Igarra house hold during a gathering and u will hear nothing but yoruba being spoken with a few igarra words here and there.
Well, It's the process called Assimilation, that's not to say they are Yoruba.
If a Monkey wears a suit today and bears the name ''Chyz'', Does that make it a human being?
CultureRe: Historical Relation Between Edo And Yoruba Culture And Politics by Gamine(f): 8:07pm On Sep 13, 2010
When it comes down to the Uneme, there are actually Five Typologies of their Origins
The first two deal with The Origins of the 'Edo' from which the Uneme descended.

1. Origin in heaven
2. Ife origin
3. Origin in a 'small' district district between Lagos and Benin
4. Origin and Migration from Igun, a distric in Benin
5. Origin in Obadan near Benin

1.
This theory claims that a man Akpama came down from heaven,
he was begotten by Osanobulah. He settled in a place called Igohigohmi
A female was later sent down, they got married and gave birth to five sons and a daughter.
'Odion, Erhame, Iyiomhe, Uzannu, Imiava and Edo' Edo is said to have produced the 'Lineage of Ogiso'
Since then, The Ogiso have been the rulers of Ancient Benin.

2.
The popular Oduduwa story

The other ones relate directly to the Uneme people.

Wazobiare/Nosamega's account makes a whole lot of sense. The Uneme call money 'Ikpigho'
There is even much more evidence now, that the 'Edo' people (including the Uneme) emerged
from the Niger-Benue confluence area, not from Ile-Efe.

Any story that attempts to amalgamate the Edos' and Yoruba are false.

JeSoul:
I like you so I won't rate it. It had it moments but certainly not worthy of the 90th percentile esteem you bestow on it imho (those 4 letters that seem to be very popular recently).

Vesc, 300 is worthy of 90s and more . . . not for the cinematography, plot, acting, dialogue, costumes . . . but simply for those 12 packs everyone, including the old men and 6yr old boys seemed to have.

Mai Suya:
Holy books are not meant for worship in the first place. That's idolatry. They do what any other other book does: convey the message of the author. Period!

@topic, it will be in interesting too see if in spite of the stiff opposition the guy is facing, some even coming from his former church, he still goes ahead with the burning event.
My point exactly. Burning a Quran or Bible is really nothing.

But the man said Live yesterday that he has received over 100 death threats but will still go on with it
