All africans are just as likely to be ostracized at some point if this keeps getting out of hand.

Doesn't matter where you claim, as long as you have black skin ( includes bleaching) and are african.

Op you didnt give a complete biography.


Nee Falode, born in Lagos state to Osun parents.

Her husband is Igbo or midwest I guess, from the name.

okeybig:
the building is not befitting for governor's house,the architectural design is too poor

the building is ok but the grounds need to be structured.

the gate is too close to the main building though, not sure this is actually the governor's house or a lodge.

mesoade:
Holy poo! Can't imagine eating any eff'ing thing from a naija girl's armpit.

unless you were offered N10 million?

.

as a matter of fact, the meaning of oyinbo is probably more of an honorary one.

it most likely means honor or chieftancy title when translated like this: oye-ibo, could mean chieftancy title that covers, ie is widespread.

just theorizing here.

oye means title and bo means cover

it could also be honey covers

this nok sculpture, for example, has highly stylized facial proportions.

the chin and cheekbones are elongated, as are the nose, lips and eyes,which also follow the triangular pattern of the face.

in addition, nok art places emphasis on straight facial lines.

the jaw is clearly defined and almost always triangular.

not sure if this is supposed to depict eloquence or something else.

some nok sculptures also have an aura of calm, occasionally the figures are looking down and in a reflective (pensive) mood.

** not sure of the date for this terracotta**

the last one is Ife, not Nok.

you probably know that.

didnt egyptians have horses?

so why couldnt other areas in africa have the same?

ooshinibos:
whats the point ....living in the past glory

well, we have to know where we're coming from in order to know where we're going.

I get your point, however, lacking history is to be likened to having no history.

tpia1:
i think there's been enough debating and discussion on the gender of olokun.

why dont you list the attributes of olokun, move further along.

olokun is associated with wealth, beads, fertility and what else?

ok, found another fact about olokun.


olokun was associated specifically with returnees. Tasked with bringing them to Lagos and resettling them there.

Jesus.

how is the child getting back into the UK?

Mwenyi:
I believe igbo are mixed somewhere along they way they might not be aware of it. I met this nigeria igbo dude, he was thick(not fat) like AA types with caucasian body type and complexion and hair I have seen on people mixed with darker indians in my country. Could their claim to middle eastern origin have some truth to it? Then have you some with hazel eyes and a couple giving birth to a white kid. And from what I have seen light skin igbos do not often have typical west african features like Okonjo anybody observed this? .

its possible some are mixed, however this might be from far back.

some capoids also appear mixed, so its a bit hard to tell where exactly the mixture might be from in the absence of any defined records.

the word oyibo is possibly not of nigerian origin imo.

it was adapted into the nigerian lexicon, although i stand to be corrected.

sounds like a borrowed word imo.

borrowed then adapted.

podosci:
its nt an African thing ...

really?

just wondering why the lady fell for the seducer even though she'd seen him coming from a mile away.

lord have mercy sha, lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes things, and the pride of life.

lechiffre:
Just reading and laughing this is so much better than the real movie

haba nlers una sabi kissass sha.

there are a lot of factors to consider, as i mentioned before, its not really all cut and dried.

one, longevity should probably be shortened to about 55 or so years, give or take a few (or one or two decades). Only those who have already passed that milestone can speak with any certainty of 70 years, and even then, its not guaranteed.

in addition, what is considered "rest of life" as per marriage, only lasts until the divorce. 70 years is certainly not in that equation.

just saying.

even two years is considered a stretch nowadays, not to talk of five years, ten years, etc etc.

all links duly posted, all photos are of public festivals from the web.

is 70 a realistic age or figure for people to aspire to these days?

what are the odds of anyone in this generation actually attaining that milestone?

natureblack:
but that doesn't look posh

Its posh enough although I get your point.

CAMNEWTON4PRES:
What does posh mean, regarding food uncommon/rare/expensive?

The posh is relative

Here's the governor's lodge:

Those must be chalets built on the grounds, not the actual house itself.

Only one picture is showing btw.

How do people fall in love with someone they've not seen before

Maybe the voice or something, nl posts, etc.
