ok good. I was starting to get worried for a sec there.
schizophrenia shall not be your portion in Jesus name.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=807895.msg9605482#msg9605482 date=1321923073]Is language the barrier issue for your here?

Of course each tribe is going to have a different name for the same headtie.

Not asking for linguistic history here.

Thanks.


Back to the question: When did we start wearing flamboyant geles?[/quote]don't mind him. that igbo bride is CLEARLY wearing a gele.
aku ise ko, akposhe ni

[quote author=BABE! link=topic=808541.msg9605409#msg9605409 date=1321922142]Hm.The probability of you being sexy is 0.5.
Are you light-skinned? Light-skinned Igbo boys are sexier. No offeiencse.[/quote]lol

odumchi:
How about aku isi = Nigerian head tie. If they call it something different in your language ignore it?

What I'm trying to make you understand is that my interpretation if head-tie is different from yours. Gele does not equal aku isi. So all Nigerian head-ties cant be labeled as "gele" since they are various.
Like I said before, gele is a type of headtie so if you want to talk about Yoruba headties you can, but Nigerian headties in general is a whole other topic.

I googled aku isi and got no results.
you sure?

try googling[i] gele[/i] and see the resulting images.

ezeagu:
The sum of some peoples culture is how much others notice them.

and copy them  

sooner or later, agbada and gele will be touted as traditional igbo clothing.

^ no mind am.
comparing gele to boat. 

acculturation is inevitable so long as igbos continue to migrate to SW.
It's natural.

REALITY101:
Uhmm. . . According to my research and source: Yoruba men are lazy, speaks with their whole damn mouth open, got some pronunciation issues"@least the ones I have met" sometimes I got to huh? For over 5 times to figure out what they are saying. I heard they're also greedy, envious and uhmm so not romantic. #Bit me

sharrap. at least they're better than u
what r u edo?

rotfl igbo chief is wearing agbada, igbo bride is wearing gele.
the world is coming to an end.  


[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=807895.msg9605364#msg9605364 date=1321921502]that is not the igbo man, that is the yorubaman wearing agbada in a Yoruba - Igbo wedding.[/quote]he will most likely be surrounded by other yoruba men if that were d case.
the men around him could pass for yoruba if not for the carnival they carry on their heads  

*just read ileke-idi's post. I thought so.

I don't understand d purpose of this topic but this is funny:

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=808541.msg9605141#msg9605141 date=1321918256]^^the thread is for yoruba women to list qualities they find attractive in non-yoruba men.

do you mind letting it remain peaceful.

no need to take things personally or did your SO click on the thread.

i could be wrong, but i thought you're neither a woman nor yoruba.

did you get a s.ex change? [/quote]

^ you are not serious.
these look like America to u?

They live in Lagos nau. What do u expect.

leilah, i don't know who you're talking about. many many nigerian guys like white women. when they come to US, they want to be able to say they've dated a white woman.
but you can't expect everyone to worship white people. get over yourself.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=308066.msg9595354#msg9595354 date=1321794311]This need to be worshipped all the time. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Everybody cant consider everybody beautiful? [/quote]no mind am

If not for the disgraceful 190s and lefulefus of the world.
these yeye white women don they get sense of entitlement. we must fawn over them by force by force.

Achebe is more popular because of his book "Things fall apart." This book has broad appeal. mostly because it's simplistic like poster above me said.
Soyinka on the other hand specializes in drama and poetry. He speaks on different topics from nigerian politics to apartheid etc. His audience is narrower, understandably. but his works are, to me,way more sophisticated.

Andre Uweh:
I do not like this thread because both Achebe and Soyinka are famous writers. Because of my love for Soyinka's plays, I went to a theatre last year in London to watch one of his plays, to my greatest surprice, the theatre was virtually empty.
Then, in conferences meant for Achebe's works in London, it is always a sale out.
Despite the fact that Achebe is more globally celebrated, I and Soyinka has a lot in common.

that's too bad.
I prefer Soyinka too.

when is a male considered a man?
is it when he buys his first house? or is it when he grows past a certain age?

nex:
Abeg, bones are for dogs. Without flesh, there wouldn't even be beauty in the first place. Voluptuous is beautiful. Fat is ugly, just as skinny is even uglier!

pro01:
Lol. I couldn't have said it any better.

see these fat boys. better get to d gym before I. . .

ahh look at all these olodos.

you think?

^ who told u that?

she's gorgeous.

pour sweetened condensed milk in a baking pan and set in oven for 15min on 350 degrees F.
take it out, let it cool and voila.

I think the process for making caramel is the same except you leave it in the oven for just 5 min. leave it in for too long and you get babadudu.

I found this out by accident.

wazobia praise

Domwiz4all:
Gari and kuli kuli or groundnut wit cold water. No sugar cuz i dont take sugar

u will need to be extremely strict abt his diet. make sure he exercises as well.

Av tried d iron hand thang (placing him on a diet wheneva am around) but he jst goes out and gets whatever food he wants. Den i told him at the rate he's blowin up, no more intimacy very soon. He said i was becomin a nag.
I mean d whole thin's a big joke 2 him, he does weird belly dance/jiggles for me nwadays wen i complain about his weight. I know its meant to make me smile, but I dont find it funny.

oh well[/quote]lol men r even worse.

The trust i have for her now is completely shattered and she would slowly climb up the ladder of trust again that is if i choose to take her back, shes going for her NYSC next year and i would use that year as a great test for her,

Its not like i have exactly been good myself just that i always admit to mistakes especially shouting and hiting her when angry

First she wont be getting any 25,000naira to block any course, neither would she be getting any blackberry anytime soon, she remains with her nokia tourch light she uses
