You could say, the Buda stared deeply into the Lavenda, and the Lavenda stared back at the Buda.

I wonder, was it only the staring that took place, or the staring was coupled with chants?

@sheeda995 Both the article you refer to and this yours is just to discredit morality and chastity.

Being a virgin and hardworking does not mean you should marry a lazy ass dude, that will sit and wait for you to cook and fix the bills. It's just a wrong step on her part, Which she needs to fix by herself.

So saying all this that you need to throw yourself at men, and women and prostitutes and pretend as if you are not hardworking, just to prove what exactly? Such might even cause you more damage than you can handle.

Let's do some logic.
2 plus X = 4
2 plus X plus Y = 4
2 plus Y = 4.

Assuming Y is virginity and 4 represents crime against women, what is the impact of Y in the equations above? Zero. Being a virgin has not benefited women in any community, ethnicity, culture, or religion. it's just a vile prison venerated as a veil of virtue.

Why is the woman to "gift" her husband this but the husband is not equally considered to owe the same or similar gift to her? Why?

2. Many of our mothers suffered needlessly in the name of marriage. The majority of them eventually abandoned in marriage. So many of their teachings turned out to have been born of delusions they had regarding marriage and not of their actual experiences in marriage. Fortunately, many of their children never forgot the lessons they learned from actually watching their mothers slave away in the name of holding up marriage.

No matter how many times you tell a Naija woman, especially a Christian, they'd tell you about how they are happy to keep their body for their husbands.

I don't know what's Black man obsession with virginity.. Reading it pisses me off, but, then, their body their choice. They can keep settling for being the unimportant neck for all I care. Na them sabi.

Hmm... It was going fine until "Dating and Marriage"... You want to follow SPRINKLE SPRINKLE abi? You'll learn the hard way when a potential mate takes you back home from chocolate factory... 😂😂😂😂...

Islam.


Niger nko? Pls can u tell us the dominant religion in the Republic of Niger.?

Also tell us their official language?

did Arabia colonize Niger?

NzogbuNzogbu:
we for enjoy real peace not this piss of islam

It's like you don't know what your christian brothers were capable of.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Yes, but they're not arabic country.

What's the dominant religion?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
How can Turkey be an Arabic country when their official language is not Arabic language?

They are also not a member State of the Arab League. make una take am easy.

was TUrkey not the ottoman empire? abi,MOhammed was born in a Turk?

Unfortunately, lives will be lost.. But they say, everything is fair in love and in war. And, this is war. If the isreali happened to be on the other side, i wonder if the Muslim world will march on its behalf.

For that reason, I'd gently stand by the side of Isreal.

A001:
You're contradicting yourself and aren't being factual. Apart from Hausa people mostly, most of other Nigerian people use English as their primary language and their native language as the second or third language after Arabic for Muslims.

Except in an educational setting, or one where there are many people with multiple languages, their native language is the primary language. Even in Universities, people teach in English, but communicate in their native dialect or pidgin(Which isn't English per say). You'd not find the common man in Sokoto, Adamawa, Kaduna, Kano, Jos, Ilorin, Ekiti, etc. speaking English......No sir.

Language is ever evolving, English of today isn't the same as yesterday. IN 500 years, all languages will change again. Just like they have done in the past. The indigenous people of Europe before the invasion by anglo saxon, vikings, and what have you have all been colonized by before. It's hasn't stopped them from progressing.

What you're saying doesn't make sense because

1) English is already our means of formal communication. If not for thieves, the country is doing just fine.
2) If laws of Physics are written in English, then, we must first understand it in English before we can transcribe it to Yoruba, etc. As you know, Yoruba hasn't developed in the same pace as Chinese, German, and so on.
3) India just launched landed on the Moon. What is their primary mode of formal communication?
4) I've already given you a practical example of what happens when one tribe dominates the others. It's no different from speaking English. You fail to see this point.

The Twi people hold all the power in Ghana. Turn on your television, and you'd find that the language spoken is Twi. This means the other tribes now have to push their native tongues to secondary, just like we've done with English.

I'm not a genius, but I know language barrier create tension. The unification of the Muslim world with Arabic, is what makes Islam a very powerful movement. Not all countries were Arabic, but that hasn't stopped Arabic countries like turkey from becoming world power has it?

We have already launched with English as our primary source of information. It's a rocket launch, and there are no about-turns.

Is there any country that used English as its primary language, and then reverted back to their native tongue as primary language? If so, what are the dynamics of that society? Are they multi-lingual or uni-lingual? How many ethnic groups are there?

A001:
Everyone speaks their native language among their people as the primary mode of communication and uses English as a secondary language. Problem solved.

It's a model that works in many non-English-speaking countries around the world.

Anyway if you don't speak any of the three major languages in Nigeria, you can stop using your own native language and leave it to die. It's your choice.

Others won't make such a huge mistake and become extinct.

But, this is already the norm today. Staying in Cosmopolitan areas makes people think English is the sole language spoken in Nigeria.

Hausa and fulani, use English as secondary language. Same with Yorubas, and igbos. I'd rather have a language foreign to all of us as the primary language, than have to speak Hausa or Igbo has the unified means of communication.

We have a senates and House of reps with many dialects. English is better abeg. Nothing will change if we learn Physics in English or Hausa. It was written by English men anyway. If Chinese people are teaching their people English, how much more we.

The vast majority of knowledge is in English. adopting other languages will only back-peddle us... Infact, our English is unique and different from that of our colonizers, so, it's not really the language of our colonizers any more.
"you are mad" to the colonizer means you have mental case. To me, it could mean three things; you're either mental, funny, or troublesome.

A001:
Did Hausa colonize you in the past? Lols. If I adopt a language willingly to learn, that's my choice.

Did past Africans tell you they wanted a language called English in Africa? It was imposed and enforced on them by the colonial masters.

In fact, various evil psychological techniques were used by the colonial masters to break the spirit of the African people and enforce English on them.

wether we like it or not, we need a unifying language. If you choose hausa to replace English, the onus is on you to explain to the igbo nd other tribes why hausa should be the universal language..

vaxx, food market not good here?

raumdeuter:
Add 10 Edo, 6 Ijaw, 8 Kalabari, 6 Anang, 10 Ebira, 4 Tangale, 6 Jukun etc

This means each tribe has to learn a second language.. But which one? If they learn hausa, then they become second citizens to hausa.. If they learn yoruba, same. Anang, same. It is inevitable. English or not, you'd still have to learn a foreign language--- language alien to your kinsmen.

A001:
I stated before that even If I belong to a minority tribe in a place, I'd still use my native language as the primary mode of communication with my fellow tribesmen but adopt the more popular language spoken in such a place (whether native or foreign) as the secondary mode of communication.

Can you point out what's wrong in this approach? I don't see anything wrong there really.

Today, the UN and many people in the science world and other strata of life are keen about diversity and inclusion.

Every ethnic people, people, race clamors for equal representations and opportunities in all areas of life.

Anyone that has lived as a minority in Nigeria would know how it feels like to be discriminated against based on religious and cultural lines.

I don't think you understand how that feels like.

This is one key reason why I clamor for the local languages to be preserved and developed. The major reason is to address the issue of diversity and inclusion.

I support every African to adopt and speak their native language as the primary mode of communication and English language as the secondary mode.

What's wrong in this? Billions of non-English-speaking peoples around the world are doing the same thing.

Are they suffering because they don't want to come under the English people as slaves? Must the English people rule over everyone in the world?

A language has a huge influence on a people, and if you accept a foreign language over your own mother tongue, you've become a second-class citizen to those people and are under them.

In a class room of 200 students, 50 Igbo, 60 yoruba, 90 Hausa, ... which language should the teacher use to teach? The language of the majority? How's that different from What we have now? Does speaking hausa instead of my local dialect, yoruba, mean that I'm secomd hand to them?

Kobojunkie:
Naija no dey carry last!

Saw this on twitter, I actually screen shot it too. Going on whatsapp status, when i chop small liver

FalseProphet1:
Well I've been prophesying non stop on my Facebook page, my voice almost crack last night sef. And I've been creating prophetic content with my internet.

Does it pay?

Yes o, it pays provided that all my visions are negative. Nigerians don't respond well to positive prophesies like they do to negative ones.

So negativity pays. I've been making money sha, I planning to Japa sef, because hardship is making people beg me to prophesy on credit. Some are still owing me for prophesies I made, and are begging me to prophesy again when they haven't paid me for the ones I prophesied in the past. Country hard.

This I have seen.

pansophist:
From the perspective of a smart female, many (not most) Nigerian men are dumb too. In fact, I also consider lots of men super dumb. There is nothing honorable to your generalization, its low class.

Better have a dumb female than one dumb male. Those mlafakers are like gorillas with human skin. Take Naija police force for example.. Gorillas in uniform. 🤣

A001:
Lols, if the whole continent does the same and put all information in English as the unified language, you're back to colonial era again.

You can't have it in both ways. If you want Africa to go back to colonial rule, that's when you'll be calling for the use of English as the unified language for Africa.

Then also be ready to adopt Christianity as the official religion of Africa as well. I don't think you people understand the huge influence of a language on a people.

The way forward is for every tribe/ethnic group in Africa to adopt their native language as the primary mode of communication and English language or any other popular language as the secondary mode(s) of communication.

That doesn't create any division among the African people and ethnic groups.

That way, each ethnic group or nation can be sovereign/independent and still be able to interact with other Africans in the same continent or region.

How will this be achieved in a country like Nigeria? We already have english as standard. There's no need to invest in going back to pre-colonial era knowing fully well that we have racist tendencies towards one another. I don't think that's a good investment.

Take Ghana for example, the Twi language is more powerful because the Twi people have held power for long. Consequently, other tribes are under developed. With a Twi government, Activities of the Economy will be Twi-centered. That then defeats the whole purpose, unless you want each language to have its own government.

The most important thing to consider is the human factor.

BlueRayDick:
You need to be explicit here ; what exactly do u mean by primary mode of communication and secondary mode of communication?

The video I reacted to ; the speaker clearly pointed to a Chinese learning Medicine in Chinese, an Indian leading medicine in French. You as well had been going on about learning STEM in one's language.

So what happens if as a Mechanical Engineer I learnt about machines In Yoruba and You as a chemist learnt about Ur chemicals in TIV need to collaborate on a project? Do I need to first translate my works to English before u can understand them? If yes, then the whole agitation for indigenous Language in STEM is a complete waste of everybody's time.

We are still talking about Nigeria here ó, we've not even talked about a Ga tribeman from Ghana collaborating with a Swahili speaking person from East Africa

I agree with this.. For a country like Nigeria, having information in a unified language is better. Seperating them will create more divide.. Infact, the Whole of Africa should do same... Our division in the continent is too great.. and we're suffering it..

An American has access to virtually every corner of the world, but an African can't even do business with his neighboring country.

turmacs:
Bro please stop saying nonsense. Why would the Palestinians not refuse? Imagine someone coming to your land and forcefully claiming it as theirs, and when problems start, they start telling you "the only solution is to split the land in two" Who would agree to that? Even that suggestion alone future proves that Israelis are not the owners of that land. Even in the Bible, the story of king Solomon and the two wives, the one that was not the owner of the baby was the one suggesting for the baby to be split in two, use your head.

It was no longer their land. It was under the rulership of the British empire..
