Politics / Re: Lagos State Governorship Aspirant, Special Adviser Arraigned For Murder by GuyFawkes: 10:05am On Nov 12, 2014 |
barcanista: Gun possesion doesn't mean they are guilty of murder unless its proven in court. I think the governorship aspirant was just taken out of the equation for 2015,not that he stood a chance anyway but Kasali is very popular amongst the Ibeju-lekki, Epe axis. 4 Likes |

Foreign Affairs / Re: Ethiopian Maid Tried To Kill Her Bosses Three Kids In United Arab Emirates by GuyFawkes: 8:33am On Nov 12, 2014 |
ArtanK: Should the Ethiopian government deny the people the right to seek greener pastures elsewhere? Its so sad when you read about the injustice and indignity they suffer in Israel as well. The horrors they experience in the Sinai desert alone are gut-wrenching. How about the global powers calling out the gulf countries about this form of modern day slavery? But yet again Africa remains what it is, and millions are desperately trying to flee for better lives albeit living in bondage. 1 Like |

EnlightenedSoul: Don't mind me I'm just pulling your legs Frankly speaking you did the right thing, heck if it was my younger sister I'd have a fit if her Bf proposed to her at 18. Way too much pressure esp when you've never discussed it. Your parents not liking the guy was a factor you just shouldn't ignore, not unless the girl wanted to elope. 1 Like |

EnlightenedSoul: Poor guy dude was trying to keep the relationship alive and even take it to the next level, and you had to break his heart by saying NO whilst 'teleporting' yourself Mean Miss-E mean Even if he wasn't going outta state you'd have still said NO Its all good anyway, you were very young and that was quite a shock . |
Romance / Re: Disturbing Life Lessons Learned From Disney Movies by GuyFawkes: 1:59am On Nov 12, 2014 |
Krystalxxx: Not all Nigerian guys hate cartoons although mangas have been trending in recent years. Growing up in the 90's we were mostly into Disney cartoons, but at the turn of the millenium Pixar and Dreamworks have overshadowed Disney, so much so they had to buy Pixar. Still miss those disney days but I hardly watch any of them now. I read the Mulan story was way different from the cartoon and it had a sort of tragic ending,that's why they are cartoons anyway didn't expect them to make kids cry their eyes out. You can look it up on the internet its a poem called Ballad of Mulan. |

EnlightenedSoul: It would scare any young girl who has major plans lined up for the future. At that age its safe to say those plans would have being jettisoned if you'd said yes. LOL at being the same girl. |

Spend the money on adverts on local TV and Radio jingles, you don't need CNN to reach the masses. As stated its obviously for the prestige instead of trying to reach the general populace. 1 Like |

SirShymex: From the books I've come across also it all points to the Baribas and the Nupes to a lesser extent, but we don't know where they got the horses from. Some scholars dispute it came from the Baribas and Nupes stating;they as well as Oyos and the Hausalands under the Fulanis must have had a primary source. Oyo most likely learnt the art of the calvary from the Baribas were they spent many years in exile after the Nupes sacked Oyo-ile. The Baribas were excellent horsemen no doubt even till this day. The Hausa slaves were mostly tasked with manning the stables and taking care of the horses of the Oyo army. 1 Like |

Most of those yoruba old women have those tatoos were they write all sorts of stuff, some you can make out what's written and some you can't, looks cool tho. |

SirShymex: Its not a culture thing per se,initially tribal marks were restricted to the Alaafin's family in Oyo.It became widespread all over the various yoruba sub-groups when wars were ravaging the land and slavery was at its peak, people needed a way to identify folks from either their family or town who might be sold into slavery and they happened to meet in some place far away. Folks were just being hauled away to be sold into slavery during the Kiriji wars . Folks in town would even tell anyone who was being taken away not to struggle and bade them farewell . |
