Jakumo: When I inquired as to the origin of that name "Lakwa" that was given to water hyacinth by the Ilaje river tribes, it was explained that "lakwa" is short for the full Yoruba sentence of "La ku wa", meaning go and die.
Wondering why water hyacinth is associated with death, I learned that it is common for boats to be TRAPPED for DAYS in DEEP water, by a thick mass of floating water hyacinth through which conventional outboard boat engines cannot make progress. Furthermore, I was told, the mass of tentacles that is the lakwa water weed, would quickly entangle and drown even the most powerful swimmer who dared leave any boat stuck in place by the weed mass.
In brackish and tidally salty water common throughout Nigeria's mangrove shoreline, getting trapped aboard a boat for days on end can mean dying of thirst in the midst of abundant UNDRINKABLE water, under the blazing sun, or amid a violent lightning storm, depending on the time of year, and on the fickle finger of fate. Since commuting by boat is primarily an option available to Nigeria's working poor, getting trapped aboard a boat by floating weeds, could spell death for all aboard, since organized rescue may never materialize.
Indeed, Lakwa the floating water weed that turns rivers into pastures overnight, has earned its name among those aware of its perils to river transport craft. That said, the menace of lakwa floating weed, is a multi-million dollar business opportunity just BEGGING to be exploited, by the importation of AIR BOATS, from the USA, to Nigeria.
Powered by airplane engines mounted in rear-facing cages, airboats are IDEALLY suited to gliding effortlessly over ANY water weed surface, for MILES on end, without breaking a sweat. No Lakwa growth can impede the progress of an air-boat. Why nobody has imported airboats to Nigeria thus far, is a true mystery, because the earning potential of such amphibious craft is ENORMOUS, particularly where floating weeds such as lakwa, are a danger to river transport.
DamiBukola: and Seyi had it good growing by calling her a prostitute? Don't tell me you don't know the meaning of PUTO?
everyone has a trait of arrogant in them, as U can see in Seyi. but tacha's own seems excessive maybe due to her past experience or inferiority complex
1StopRudeness: While we are at it..why don’t we tell our families and friends working at shoprite and MTN to resign and go stay at home jobless to show that they are protesting
This is just madness...are we not the same people that don’t want the actions of a Nigerians committing atrocities both home and abroad to be used to judge the rest of us....we now want to use the actions of thieves and thugs seizing opportunity to loot and hurt people in South Africa to affect those that are here abiding by Nigeria law doing business and even feeding some Nigerians
U people should not mind all this celebrities..they are still using their MTN line and DSTV decoders oooo.. more reasons i said until there is a competitive alternative
As long as she is qualify for the job i wish her all the best. her father's sin cannot determine her fate in life, everyone has a life to live. Good luck girl.
seanjy4konji: To be honest,girls who are into prostitution which u or runz girl or slay mama to polish it have no joy at all..They always feel everyone is out against them or trying to outsmart them...their moral and iq has been dragged by humiliated by the amount of joysticks they have to endure day in day out to survive...mental state is not so ok..i feel for her.that why to settle down nowaday for ladies is a problem.they always want to make a statement back with the belief that as long as their toto is still there?life still goes on.without rehabilitation.this perfume aint going anywhere soon.
i guess she has it rough growing up. may be abused by people around her or subjected to mental torture due to her early exposure because she has no regards for anyone of sort.
seanjy4konji: thought i was the only one..she hides from the camera and anytime i am lucky to catch a glimpse of her...its eiher she is angry for no reason aor cursing at someone...i have never seen her happy or in a good mood...bag vibe.i only know that nigerians like such ladies...they will worship her with loads of money after d show...she has broken poverty kinx as her stock value aand share has risen 1000%..not easy to brek forth in buhari economy.
I believe she said that just to console herself, and get back at seyi. she actually ran out of words.... .. wait o ... is she the best Port Harcourt can offer. this is bad image. you know when you are naturally rude like her it's always difficult to make any sensible comment.
....... though she has her good side too. but I have never seen that in the house, every time she is always temperamental
i think this week eviction is very predictable unlike last week. both evicted house mates are little known.
