Lol no it is not a curse. Infact its just how i hear Yoruba. Everyime i hear a Yoruba speaker they always over emphasize dipthongs such as "gbo" and sounds like "lo". To me Youba is just a big roler coaster ride, the accent goes up in pitch and then down then up again.

But thanks for the translation.

maybe  this is partially why some yorubas spell igbo as ibo. because when you guys say it, it sounds like you are saying ibo.
the pronunciation doesn't correlate with the spelling.

yeah yoruba language is a lot about pitch. I think it's pretty cool.
lagosian/city yoruba accent isn't that strong though.

Why are Benin Yoruba muslims singing about Orisa?

Not all Yoruba speakers speak like. Ekiti people speak different from Lagosians. i.e We say Olorun, pure lagosians would say olohun. And the dialects are different.[/quote]the girl is impressive
wow.

yoruba muslims are known to be quite syncretic. that's why SOME hausas don't consider them to be pure muslims.

I wish i could understand what was being said. To me, Yoruba sounds like "Ologbogboshimi mi neo ko" with heavy accent.  

it's french, some beninois language, yoruba (1:25-1:45) and the rest is english.
the father is giving her daughter away in marriage and will miss his baby girl.

what is ologbogboshimi ni neo ko?
I hope it's not a curse  

some say cotonou is basically a yoruba city. the dialect is different I agree
What about Egun people from badagry. some say they're not yoruba. how true is that?


I used to love this song as a youngster. It's beninois

Obama is not really african. the only thing that ties him to Africa is his father's sper[size=1pt].[/size]m. that's about it.
Even his identity as african-american was forced on him due to the color of his skin. but at least he accepted and embraced it despite being raised in a mostly white environment.

hm na wa o. photoshop or foundation?

^ I hear u. who be dat person in ur profile pic?

yorubas - strong sense of culture and social aptitude
igbo - business minded and reputation for braveness
hausas- regal and disciplined. simple
edo-  blend in well with their environment. you hardly notice them as a stand out group and thus you underestimate them


other posters on this thread have mentioned some of these things. I guess they are general stereotypes. albeit positive ones

what a strange survey. where are the iraqi and afghani women? will you not be stressed when bombs are going off meters from your house every day?

only 21 countries were surveyed. see the first post for the list.

JOKE OF THE YEAR indeed.

Government doesn't have any obligation to compensate people for natural disasters. That is why you buy insurance for your private property.
the govt will only repair roads and public property. volunteer organizations can help private people out.

PDP should go hug a transformer. I can't believe they're even running their loose mouths. Maybe the flood water carried their loot away.

They Lie.  HERES THE TRUTH:

Women in developing economies spend more of their additional cash on Sustainance: food, clothes, health and education for their children.
While women in the developed economies actually dedicate more of their cash to paying off debt, paying bills, and fashion: clothes and accessories.

I've lived in Naija and now in the Uk and this is what I think the truth is  /\

I was going to mention that too. lol
It didn't make sense at all because developed countries are the most materialistic. going to shopping mall in a developed country is like going to church in naija.
