Just saw the U tube thingy, brought back old memories, I love Voltrone

Whatever, who ever is richer should do more giving.

@Yimiton
I don't agree with u. You still maintain they are sick people. You can't Twist Wole Shoyinka's poem around. He believes there's Abiku & his poem confirms it. Yes i've also studied the two poems, J.P Clarks & Shoyinka's. While J.P Clark's Abiku pleads for the Abiku to stay, Wole Shoyinka assumes the position of the abiku himself, & beats its chest, like "no matter what u do to make me stay, i will go when ever i want to & return when ever i want to". He makes mockery of the people that charms him to stay. The poem is like no matter what u do i'll bring the scares back, yes u'll identify me & i'll go again when ever i chose to.

If those kids were sickly our forefathers had enough herbs to sustain a sickly child to live. They lived prolly on herbs then & it healed many ailment we used oyinbo drugs for now. There is more to an Abiku child than a sickly child. Abiku is not a myth, legend, mirage or whatever u said, it is real. An SS child is medical while An Abiku child is spiritual chikena!

What shoyinka meant by what u quoted is that they know they are ageless, since they have a world they had before this one which they usually return to. They know they come & go back that's why they are ageless. The libations & other things will still not work, instead will make him go back. I studied this poem at school, i dint just read.

@TKB sorry about ur shirt and yeah Abiku aint SS

tkb417:
its my man Roger Moore!!!

Then that's not a cutie but a charmer

So from what i've gathered here, it means that Ogbanje is also the same thing as Abiku[/b]Right? And also that they must have been "sickle cell anaemia patients" produced by the parents due to ancient times ignorance of genotype & all it entails.

Now i'm going traditional here. I have an idea of "Abiku" maybe due to the fact that i'm a Yoro. The last time i checked, once an Abiku comes back to life, there is always something used on him (most likely a mark) so that when the child comes back it shows that its still the same one that died before. Abikus are identified by the mark they were given, so it shows its the same one that returned.

My Point: Abiku is very different from sickle cell patient!

I Rememeber Wole Shoyinka's Abiku, which i loved so much while at school. The first verse says it all.

[b]Abiku
"In vain your Bangles cast
Charmed circles at my feet
I am Abiku
Calling for the first and the repeated time.---"

The Abiku boasts, and he knows he has repeatedly come back, the charmed circles at the feet shows that it was the one that came before. This one is no sickle cell patient. An Abiku is someone that has come purposely to inflict pain on the parents Our forefathers were certainly not joking when they even gave them names to effect this change: names such as Duro, Joko, Malomo e.t.c (yoro names) to make them stay. If they were sick people they would have been identified sick. Abikus are very different from sicklers.

I don't remember now, but which one did "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", "Octoposy" & many of those oldies. I love that one.

what's a run's girl? i think i'm behind in my vocabulary.

A girl that runs

@ Topic
If She decides to quit running, no problem!

dipo2much:
INSTEAD MAKE UNA REPLY MY THREAD,UNA DEY HAIL ONE OTHER GUY.
BIGUPS TO THOSE OF YOU'ALL WHO GAVE ME ADVICE. I GO TRY ACT FASTER NEXT TIME.

Have u heard of a patient dog eats no bone at all? That was your case.

Rubbish!, she was so close to u, yet u could not start up a conversation, u were putting into consideration another guy u don't know from Adam.

Now put this in mind, next time u meet a girl like that. Start a conversation on anything that catches your eye that she's with.

Remove your wrist watch, put it in your pocket & ask her for the time "excuse me lady, what's the time" if she tells u the time, tell her "by the way i like your wrist watch, what's the make?" If u have enough guts u could lift her hands like you're trying to see, i'm sure other conversation will come up, before u can get a number. make the scenerio look like it just happened, not like u had her in mind. From there ask her the name of her hairdo, that u want to know where she made it. You cld say u want your sister/mum to make that kind of hairdo. i'm sure from there u can ask her where she's going to & other bla bla bla , till fades

I think i've helped u enough. Don't say too many complementaries, it sucks.

But if u meet a hot headed girl. Even tho she enjoys the conversation, is still going to be "sorry i can't give u my number"

learnt a lot poster, thanx

tkb417:
you know i wont allow u banter 'peeps' on Nairaland.
relax and keep it cool. You don't know him. ok?
Next time, ill handle it for you. No matter who the person is, just let me handle the person

Fashi the guy, he could be one of the yahoo boiz on the prowl!! who knows.
The Internet is sure a great thing!

Thanx jare, i rest my case, let me leave him with his fat assed, gigantic busted girls he calls big girls.

TKB How r the cream chics? _{*dat's the difference*}

Really this is just too funny. When last have i come near a smelly person,(be it a guy or lady) i don't remember, infact it sounds like i've not heard it b4 that people can actually smell.

What caliber of people do u role/associate with? This is just impossible & that a girl agrees to this also shows the same class of people.

@Poster is this what ur joblessness in ur cybercafe has caused? & u say u role with Big girls?
Certainly they are Big girls to ur own taste as well. U are simply so freaked at posting topics that u post stupidly, most especially to get noticed. U are simply a looser kid. good-for-nothing-jobless-nairaland-freak. Yes we've actually noticed u. Especially as the most senseless poster ever on nairaland.

Guys, why r u being agressive over this issue. When a very sweet girl slaps u, well i think its a compliment.

tenhap:
1) Your brother can never blame you for having dated the girl before him

witout looking at ur other points this interested me at first look. maybe not the word blame but his brother will definately question. he would ask questions, & his brother could be hated for life.
why he did not tell him the times he first saw them together?
if he told the brother he thot it was a casual thing, this would even get him madder for thinking his future wife to be some slut.
Another question is, the poster intending telling him now, that he is at the verge of marrying her. Is it to see his brother wallow in pains or what? Right now its too late for any telling. If there should be any telling at all, its should have come from the girl. Let the love birds be.

zheroes:
AMEN

U can make it louder than that

zheroes:
i appreciate the topic, the different posts, but something about life is less than 5% of married couples married their dream mates. A research was carried out. do i say the result is the high divorce rates, well i don't know.

what have i got to say : YOU CANT HAVE IT ALL, at a stage you have to blend, rather than do the blending.

Saying i won't marry, someone that is not my dream man does not mean i'm creating some image from fantasy island. My dream man is realizable. I did not ask God for too much. (Dint he even say ask & u shall be given) That many people did not marry the men of their dreams does not make them me or me them. Ama make this dream realizable becos its not far fetched. Its not gonna remain as surreal, it'll come out life & well achieved

If he's not my dream man

Duh! u don't have to post!, any post from u is usually senseless.

Nah! don't tell us u are now into some dummy sampling thingy. U actually wanted our sincere replies, that's why u used a negative approach. Truly not that we wanted to play intelligently by ur negative approach to how u look, but that is actually the simple truth. U are not Hot!!!

Kemjisuper:
I'm handsome, you're ugly! You're reducing the beauty in my lineage!

Lol, lol. I'm thinking this is some joke!

tkb417:
ema binu si, omode lon se.

how your side?
u fashied me shey? God dey!!!

Nah! there aint no fashing u, only that i'm fashing this thread

Hmmmn! Boring, boooooooooooooooring!!!, yawns, yawns & sleeps

tkb417:
madam ki lode now?

Oga how far? Omode yi ni

Look Poster what do u know about love? Just what do u know?
u keep on repeating u've never loved b4, u've never loved b4, (at 18) Look the main fact that u think u are in love (which i very much doubt) does not make u behave like a mugu or a dundi united. If love were like this it'll suck!!! & we'll have many stupid people. Use ur head.

& Like i said before, u have a lot to learn.

Aussie:
Check out the ugliest boy on niraland.

Sure u are

Aussie:
What do u think?(No show-offs)

We could never think the opposite, u sure are what u said Ugwuly muchacha

I'm sure he doesn't feel that way about u. Why do u have to stress urself unwisely.

Each time u think of him, remember he is ur cousin & dat no miracle can happen.

Lol, why not, i'lld like to rub that greasy island in btw the two bushes or rounded bush & pick out the stubborn hair that manages to grow there! (A help to the needy).

But if u dear annoy me, that's the place i'm gonna head for, a bad slap! Lol

@Kaycrystal

I just went ahead asking the poster a question i knew the answer to. He abviously had a cheap relationship with the girl. In his post he said when he saw them together at first he thot probably it was some in my quote "sharp runs" only for him to get back & the girl has gotten engaged by the brother.

The moment he has refused to open his mouth at first when he saw them together, he should berra keep his mouth shut forever, like the pop will say or is it the reverend?. He thot his brother's relationship with the girl with be casual just like he had with her, but poor big brother fell flatly in love.

My Point is: When u guys go about rubbishing girls, u forget that it could come back to hunt u. The girl he thot he washed his hands off, was cleaned by his own brother. He should take it as it is. That's how life is. He's going to clean up someone else's bitch too. And someone somewhere will think he's gone crazy. lol

Nah! There would be no need testing

Once i see them or they start misbehaving, i'll know where they r from

Lol Joking Oh! This is a serious case. I think I'll die if my hubby ever asks for a DNA test. To think he doesn't trust me again, is enough death & then talking of a DNA Test for his kids I'll resurrect & die again. I can't think of my guy or future hubby not trusting me. Nah!Nah Nah!! No test for no reason.

Gamba:
@ topic
Crying over your lover does not make you less a MAN.
It only shows that you are very emotional and very passionate about her.
Wish you all the best.

Can u say that again?
