ROFL.

Lastpage go wound pesin.

First off,fuel subsidy is the ONLY freebie or share of national cake that an average Nigerian gets to enjoy.

Removal of the subsidy is OK but the way it was handled was faulty and made the govt. appear mean and insensitive to the plight of the common man.

They govt should have started the removal in bits as opposed to their overnight full subsidy removal.
There were no public enlightments,the masses were just caught unawares.(Meanwhile they'd spend billions and months on electioneering campaign and adverts)
No improvement in other basic structures that affects the poor man's life.THE POWER sector should have been shaken and atleast 80% improvement in power supply BEFORE the subsidy is removed.Folks can't reconcile paying high bus fares,dealing with NO light daily and buying 600N worth of fuel each nite for a small gen,high cost of foodstuffs and then the BOKO issue.

Simply put,the removal of the fuel subsidy NOW=trying to save a pot of soup when the whole house is on fire.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Bikonu,what has happened to the whole ATM's in VI area of Lagos?None is dispensing cash.

Have the ATM's gone on strike too?

odumchi:
Lol, Igbo is wonderful.

We call fufu "utara".

Imela.

@All,anyone ever heard of "agbiri or egbiri" for utara akpu?My paternal grandmom always used 'egburi/egbiri/agbiri'

Everybody na comedian for Naija,our everyday life kpa-kpa na comedy.

I believe that without our constant comedy,our ability to shine and laugh through our tough situations and living conditions,average life expectancy would have dropped to 20 years.

Interesting.

Btw,is the 'Orisha' and 'eyo' festival same?

Dunno.

Wud it bring down the current cost of PMS ?

Okwu= Speech
Emeka na-ekwu okwu.

Asusu=Language
Kedu asusu Emeka na-asu?

Dialect=Olumba
'uno' na 'ulo',kedu nke bu olumba Emeka ?

@Odumchi,gini ka Aro na-akpo akpu(fufu) ?

How do people have babies these days?Meet,start shaaging without any form of protection,have a baby then what

No care or concern for the partners background?what if they are shaaging a ghost ? o ma se oh.

Btw,OP,did your friend and the married man agree on having a baby together or she found herself pregnant and decided to keep it in a bid to get the man for keeps?

Anyhoo,done is done.She better start loving the child or give him/her up for adoption.abi she's considering telling the man's wife ? The most she can get is making the wife leave the man(highly unlikely tho) but it won't make the man marry her.

It's only in NLD i hear single mom's referred to as "tokumbo".In the real world,bold,beautiful and focused single moms are giving their counterparts a run,getting the good guys for keeps.

Your new family(husband and kids) comes first,never let no friend or foe occupy that topmost priority,consider them before any decision or action.(my mom)

Your husband is your new baby,father,brother and son.Take good care of him.(From my dad)

Never use seex or food as weapon.No matter what he's done,as long as u are still with him,under same roof,give him both(mom)

Never discuss your marital problem with a third party,sort it out yourseleves BUT if it happens you wanna indulge anyone,your momma is the best! (my mom)

Choose your battles wisely.some things are better left ignored.(dad)

Omoba Canada,no maps?
No fall pesin hand dis new year.Give us mapology.The processing,preparation,manufacturing and transportation of amala,from Ilorin to the hinterlands. . .and further down to Oduduwa Republic aka Benin.

For the records though,Ogbomosho peeps make the best amala.

Congrats oh.You know I always saw u as a funny guy,almost did not take the thread serious plua all the baby antelope thingy.lolz

May the baby be a source of joy to parents and everyone she comes in contact with,may her/his birth usher in new and good things to the family and may God provide for the parents everything they'd need to bring him/her and siblings up in his glory.

@OP,what really do you want from NLDers?To rent a house for you,encourage you,insult your aunt or

Get off the net,hustle hard and clean and help your family.
You guys can start off with a decent mini flat or a bungalow @ low cost places like Obigho,Ogbunabali etc.

Self pity does not help anyone,I've seen people(male and female) leave home after sec. school for hustling.Manna stopped falling from heaven with the death of Moses

Hiss around a Ghanaian and you'd be lucky to escape with your tongue still in your mouth.

Btw,OP can you successfully differentiate sighing from hissing.lolz

^and all Nairaland members,guests and registered users alike are the executive sponsors and honorable members.

Chairman,maybe we should create a new thread,linked to this one ofcourse and ask NLDers to present cases of people they see,know or heard of that are in bad situations and need help.Seems we are gonna wait forever to get the next case to handle if we continue this way.

To the person asking got the translation of cobweb,its onya uko.

Odumchi,I think you mixed up your translations of woman and female.IMO,woman=nwanyi,Female=iyom.We have to put in mind that its not just about humans but also covers non living stuffs.How wud u translate "female snake"?nwanyi agwo or iyom agwo ?
Mother is Nne,not all women are mothers hence I find that translation 'Nne for nwanyi' not correct.

Physics,Onichans use "Iyaselle" and not "Iyaasere" as you pointed out the Bini's do.Unfortunately,I don't even know the origin or what it means.

Ezeogu stop twisting words biko.what is "agbor nwanyi" ?
Every nwanyi(woman) was once an agbor(ghobia) ie girl.

Mbatuku,from all you listed and claimed Onichans use,I know for sure that 2 are true;Ogede(for plantain) eg ukpo ogede a delicacy and Ogbe eg Ogbe otu,Ogbe abo but please Onichans DON'T use your "Ofigbo" for oil.Its either mmanu nni(nri) for red oil or mmanu opupa for groundnut oil.Then what da heck is "Idumu"

dragnet:
Model ?

Tour.

Thank you.

Te'brah my good Izon people.

Please what does the presentation of live tortise to a guest by the host signify?acceptance,rejection or something else?

what would be said of the guest or visit if s/he rejects the gift?

Thanks in advance.and what does the name "Ibinabo" mean?

^O mere copy copy.

I don't know what happened or how it happened but my BB keypad light has gone off,stopped working.I can't recall dropping it or anything but i caught one of my boys playing with it.

what do i do?where can i rectify it?

Femi are you saying that 4 women are chasing you

ROFL

4 offline,8 online.
Don't i wanna be a man?

LOL

Watching the Benin protest on Channels TV.Did anyone see that short Baba,the one that spoke on behalf of the protesters in pidgin?He said and I quote"after we don vote for him,his thank u is to turn and stab us @ the back?He say he want bring buses wey dey use diesel but how many buses he fit give each state?okada dey use diesel?abeg we wise pass all that "obubu yaya" wey he dey yarn".

They even carried a coffin!

I have ideas:
They saw their daddies cheat under their mom's noses consistently.Their moms accepted that,drummed it into their ears and brains that men would always cheat and women are meant to take it in good faith. . .so long he pays the bills and comes home each day(or forthnightly)

They dated and married unrepentant cheats.He never hid it,the woman is just desperate to marry.

The woman is a parasite and huge liability.she brings in nothing,depends solely on the man for any and every thing.She's stuck in there and would gladly accept/endure,warts and all. . .so long as he keeps providing for her(and kids).

The preacher tells the woman that divorce or seperation is a capital sin.Your man cheats cos you don't pray enough,you don't make the house homely enough for him,you nag and you don't listen when he talks.Stay there,pray harder,bind the spirit of the flesh and lust and someday oneday,God would touch his heart to change.

Love is not all there is to marriage,I'd keep saying this.When the love waxes cold,the bosoms drop and fly,the blokos shrivel and it takes alot more work to get 'it' nod. . .other things like mutually shared interests/hobbies,great communicating,maturity are the ingredients that wud help one to hold on,swim through the tides and still come out fine,together as one.

@OP,i'd say give it a shot one more time.We all fall in and out of love sometimes but at the end of the day,we look at our partners eyes and see reasons to stay put.
If however you think you've done it all,tried it all and still feel its NOT worth it then goodluck with your "walking away" plans.

^Her GF is 40 and single.A financially unstable single father of 2 wants to marry her.Their church pastor says him(or God) does not believe the man is the lady's Godsent husband hence she should not marry the man.

@Topic,what does your friend want,she 'desires' to marry or is comfortable with her single life?

Is your friend working,considerably comfortable?

You said the man is 'working hard to rise again',what precisely is he doing?self employed,biz or hes an employee somewhere?

Aside finances,is the man OK for your friend?they relate and bond well?

How is the relationship btw your friend and the man's kids?

Have your friend prayed alone,seeked for Gods face and answer?

^lol.
We are in the subsidy era.

What's good sir?Waiting for your express order/decision for that side.Everything is cool now,i think.

In as much as im persuaded that the subsidy would pay us at the long run,but the timing,way and manner it was implemented leaves a sour taste.

@Topic,No comment till source of news is presented.

I watched the man this morning and to lightly put it,im sooo very unimpressed.

Btw,its rather unusual to hear that the NASS have distanced themselves from the fuel subsidy decision.Na only Jona,Ngozi and Sanusi come sign this susidy death warrant ?
