aryzgreat: who understands haus here? wot does dat hausa word mean?
I read it means "father christmas has come to market" but the man omitted the possessive "na" which changed the meaning to "holy prophet has come". Is this not madness?
Nairaland GeneralRe: Keeping Children From Speaking Vernacular. by intrepid(op): 8:28pm On Nov 22, 2012
gbollykore: i live in the USA with my 3 kids, ages 7 , 5 and 2 ,they have never been to Nigeria, they understand everything in yoruba, the older two also speak yoruba, but when they get to school or go outside they speak with perfect American accent. And you find kids that have never been outside Nigeria who can not speak their native language.

i think its share inferiority complex that makes us embrace western culture over us, in the USA you see African americans wanting to do anything to identify with the African culture, some of them actually pay to learn our languages yet , we want to speak like them

it puts me off when i watch TV in Nigeria and most presenters are trying to talk with british/ American accent, please let us embrace our beautiful culture, even americans envy us, when we invite them to Nigerian parties they are amazed with the richness of our culture

Proudly Nigerian
Thank you my bro for this.Abeg tell them o.The funny thing is that some of these parents even speak such bad English and this is wat they teach their children.the result is that We now have more and more ppl who cannot defend themselves well in their local language and cannot also speak English well.We see this everyday...you need to hear wat some ppl speak here as English!

Nairaland GeneralKeeping Children From Speaking Vernacular. by intrepid(op): 8:15pm On Nov 21, 2012
Many Nigerian parents do not speak their local language to their children.This was not so some decades back and the children born in those days still grew up to become some of the most fluent and eloquent men and women we have today....I Also noticed some of the "misyans" in English sometimes from some of these English-speaking parents and they pass it on also to the kids who will reproduce same....Is it right or wrong to speak English to the kids at home and not teach or speak their native language to them?what are the merits and demerits?

Christianity EtcRe: Confessing Your Sins To A Priest. by intrepid: 12:57pm On Oct 28, 2012
Pdizzle: Although im a catholic, i read a lot of prostestant devotionals since we all serve the same God. On reading my open heavens this morning, i saw pastor Adeboye taking a jab at the catholics concerning the way they confess their sins to priests, saying penance does not grant you forgiveness.
We got discussing about it and we made reference to bible passages such as john 20:22-23 and james 5:14-16. Pls what are your opinions on these.
If Adeboye should enter a catholic church during confession where about 10000 faithfuls are preparing for the sacrament and he was given a chance to say this there,i tell you only about 5 ppl dia would be moved from going to that confessional...Why? Let him mind his biz and leave catholics alone. Its either he doesnt know anything about the Catholic Church or he's acting ignorant of the truth...AGAIN there's no need arguing wit protestants cos they's always protest..

Well speaking from facts and what I was told when I was a catholic, whta I noticed firstly about Catholics (even when we r all christains n no offends) is that they r always quick to defend themselves, without actually thinking it through) u have the bible yet u refuse to open ur eyes n see for your selves.back then when I was a catholic I was told, we confess our sins to the priest and he in turn, prays to God on our behalf.what ever happened to the passage of the bible that says,I am the way, the truth and the light, no one comes to the father accept through me.besides after confession, u will b told by the priest to say (it depends on ur sins though) 10 hail marys, 5 our father n 3 glory be to the father, prayer.bck then I rember in my hrt am lk, is that all, hummm.well bt thank God for the bible o.I read passages my self before I was convicted to leave.may God give u d eyes of understanding.I rest my case
My dear,be it known to you that Catholics read the bible,maybe you were not reading it when you were catholic-did anyone tell not to read it then?did any priest tell you not to pray?were you told to commit sins? Just like you can see even in whateva church you are now,there are mediocres who are not serious wit what's going on...Wish you were able to see then.I wish you well,and make pure that you are not deceived where you are now.Pursue righteousness.

So you think that it was the lenght of your prayers that wiped away your sins?JESUS does,the absolution is simply an assurance of the mercy of God tru the intercession of the Church,which the priest represents-and CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH-to whom you confess! I hope you are not still confused.

HealthWould You Buy bosom Milk For Your Baby? by intrepid(op): 4:38am On Oct 19, 2012
Women in the UK and U.S are selling their bre@st milk online, despite serious concerns that it could be harmful for babies. Mothers can donate and receive breast milk for free via milk banks. These centres store bre@st milk for babies whose mothers can't bre@stfeed. However, they give priority to babies who are sick.

Mothers are using community forums, including Facebook, to make some quick cash out of their extra milk.

Buying bre@st milk is tempting to new parents struggling to express their own, as it provides babies with better protection against illnesses and allergies compared to formula. The banks collect expressed milk from pre-screened mothers who have a plentiful supply and a baby under six-months old. It is then pasteurised before it is offered to nearby hospitals.

But today doctors in Germany warned new parents against privately obtaining their baby's food through social networks such as Facebook.

The Professional Association of Pediatricians said that although bre@st is generally the best option for newborns, mothers unable to bre@stfeed should not turn to the internet.
SOURCE

Women are selling their bre@st milk online and buyers are buying too. As this is happening in the Western countries now with the attendant problems, some of our people will soon begin to see it as the new ''swag'' for whatever reasons they may adduce.

I am yet to understand fully why a healthy woman who has no bre@stfeeding or bre@st milk production impediment would choose this.

So question to NLDers, would/can you buy bre@st milk. . .even from an approved bre@st bank to feed your baby?

Parents,relations and friends usually recommended some girls for their loved ones based on some perceived character traits...and their marriages lasted for decades.Some never had any serious marital problems till they all died.Infidelity was also very rare then.Nowadays guys prefer to choose their spouses whom they believe they know better,and there seems to be more instability today,with many marriages crashing within months of take-off..Is it still fashionable or safe to marry on recommendation?Could it not be the solution to this confusion?.
