Ever find out what those names mean? How come they speak different languages?

No idea! I did a project in Akoko area once, and was surprised at the number of Akoko towns in that part of the South-West.

IlekeHD:
If you need help decoding Yoruba, I'm here.

Thank you, jare! Ah, I have a feeling that I just missed out on a lot of fun, with everyone speaking the language, leaving me with very little clue as to what was being said!

Zimoni said up there: "O ga oooo". Is he referring to a big man or a 'Boss' i.e. Oga, or what??

That does it!! Am reporting all of you to my late maternal grandmother's sister! This is so unfair! And a lot of these words are not even easy to decode, in the Yoruba-English dictionary!

Akungba, Irun, Okeage, Aiteju. Those I can remember now. Like the look of Ikare. Also say its the town on a rock. Akoko is just rocks everywhere. Love it.

Oka-Akoko, Supare-Akoko, Epinmi-Akoko, Oba-Akoko etc; Yep...they are many!

juicee1:
Are these thesame youths who went on vanguard's website with full ibo names while claiming to be speaking for itsekiri?

IPOB should keep fooling themselves.

ROFLMAO!! LWKMD!

.......i wish i can give them away here......

What can't you give away?? The cross-border land routes which Nigeria shares with its neighbouring countries?? These exist in the South-West (e.g. Idiroko, Seme etc), the Northern part (e.g. Illela in Sokoto, Jibiya in Katsina, Kumshe in Borno, Kamba, Zinder etc), and the South-Eastern part (e.g. Bakassi, Ikang near the Cross-River/Akwa-Ibom axis, Akwa Yafe etc).

A lot of these land border routes are not properly patrolled, and surveillance is minimal. In some cases, they have been reported to serve as smuggling routes for traders. So which of these routes did Kanu use, in entering Nigeria?? And why would he have had to sneak in through the land borders, if he had nothing to worry about?? Just asking.

The third paragraph is we're am starting from.... Bt I wanna knw the best way to store this cylinder(filled). Is it okay to store it in a container tank ? Within a nt so busy complex?

Please clarify what you mean by a container tank, as I am not so sure I understand what you mean. Can you post a picture of the container tank, here??

chibuking1:
u seem to b very versatile as rgds to LPG stuff at least from or rite ups so far.... I did like to add you up on whatsapp... Some advis though on what to do because am someone interested in this business...bt I no d risk involved... So I need someone wit some sort of knwledg to put me thru

Let me know what exactly do you need?? If it is a gas skid, you can get one from =N=2.5 million to =N=3.8 million for a simple 2.5MT LPG Gas skid. The cost excludes transport and installation. Those two can only be provided once your site location is known, and a survey is conducted on the installation to determine cost.

The cooking gas content ranges from 150k to 180k per metric tonne, depending on the gas depot that you are buying from. If you are buying from outside Lagos, the cost of gas could be higher due to logistics costs. Trucking cost per consignment alone within Lagos is about 55k to 65k for a small 5MT boptail. It could be higher, depending on quantity or volume to be loaded, as well as distance.

If you have cylinders and you just need to refill them for your customers, then you can enter into an arrangement with a cooking gas plant to refill for you. But you will need a van to be able to carry your cylinders to the plant, and deliver the filled cylinders to either your shop or to your customers.

There is a lady who sells new empty cylinders near my area for =N=8,500 per cylinder, excluding gas.

In 2000 when Uwazurike started MASSOB, he publicly burnt his Nigerian passport. Since then, Uwazurike has been traveling all over the world from Europe to America and several African countries. What passport do people think he is using? People think that an international passport is the only travel document there is. I know people who travel with piece of paper. There are people who travel with just ID card. Even in some situations, a driving license is acceptable


To the best of my knowledge, Nnamdi Kanu uses his British passport to travel which is Ok since British Law allows him dual citizenship.

Guy, Uwazuruike probably applied for another Nigerian passport which he has been using, after declaring the former one missing.

Nobody can travel with a piece of paper, when he is not a refugee. Driving license may serve as a means of identification when travelling, if you are a member of a country that is part of a regional body which guarantees citizens of its member states, visa-free travel within the borders of that region. But you would still need your passport for verification purposes. If you disagree, please cite instances where only a piece of paper or a driver's license was used to gain entry into a foreign country during an international trip, without the use of a valid passport.

Who are the people that travel with just ID card?

Oga, do your research well....

chibuking1:
@laudate......I sent a message....plz.. I need to talk to you

A response has been sent to you. Thanks.

So if you are writing about Folorunsho Alakija, why do you have a picture of Bola Shagaya attached to the article??

Jakumo:
Enukpelebe this is Ihiala-Uli Airstrip tower, and you are cleared for landing runway 13R.  Contact Ojukwu in ground control after rollout.   Your locally-made Volkswagen armored car will convey you to your hotel, and all threats along the way will be neutralized with strategically placed roadside Obuniigbes.   Welcome home, sir.

Hahahaha....!

As an Igbo man and Biafran supporter, the Nigerian passport for me is like a prison ID card. Many Biafrans have no choice but to use it but it is a symbol of oppression. Just like Nigeria, it is imposed on people who don't want it. When we get Biafra, most of us will publicly burn that green booklet called the Nigerian passport which is a constant reminder of how a British armed Robber called Lord Lugard came from Britain to impose an illegal identity on us

Guy, you don't have to wait. Put your money where your mouth is, and burn it now! Go on, I dare you....

Itsekiri and Biafra.... I laugh in Greek!!

Aareonakakanfo:
zimoni i hope you already downloaded your Yoruba dictionary for today because no Yorubinglish ooo.I'll mention everyone from 9pm-10 pm

Good!! I'll take this advice you just offered to Zimoni. Am off to look for a Yoruba-English dictionary, myself. Just wait for me....

fr3do:
He spoke so sure of Asaba as one who has spent time therein.

I see.

Uh...this is so unfair! Am going to report all of you to my maternal grandmother's sister!

fr3do:
Partnerus

you claim you are from Asaba
1. what do Asaba people call their Masquerades?
2. List two boys only government secondary schools in Asaba.
3. Who is the owner of Grand hotel?
4. The junction where Ezenei avenue meets with Nnebisi, what is it called?

Funny question. What if he does not live in Asaba? Or was brought up outside the town?? Would that annul his parentage or sever him from his lineage? Just asking.

Curlieweed:
So it's only Igbo posters that reply differences of opinion with insults? You engage in this kind of selective observation and imagine that describing your behaviour as hypocritical is an insult. My advice is that you should come out like your fellow gladiators and attack us instead of all these sly insults couched as well meaning advice.

Guy, go back and read my post with an open mind. Trust me, if I wanted to attack you, I would do it without pulling any punches. Check my previous posts. I don't hold back or mince words, when people deliberately go out of their way to provoke me.

And you have just exhibited the same behaviour I spoke about in my last post...again. And in doing so, you have just made everyone realise that the real hypocrite here is YOU!

Aareonakakanfo:
Anti mi tabi Egbon mi. mo moomo pe yin wa si bi yi ke yin naa wa wo bi ede yoruba se rewa

Ehn.... the only word I recognise in this whole phrase is 'Egbon.' Now, please tell me, what is the meaning of the rest of the words you wrote up here?? Please....abeg, just kindly translate. I hope it means you are going to send me some money??

Aareonakakanfo:
Rule no1 Please no code-switching aka Yorubinglish for example. Ata "now" sapa mi lori. If you can't type the language without adding english, You can chill,
wakati kan o peju

Rule No2 If someone already asked you a question in english before this hour,You have to respond in Yoruba.If you can't then you can wait till after the hour.

Lets get the ball rolling

Wha-aa-at??! This is unfair! What about those of us who are not from the South-West and only know the cuss words??

godoluwa Na Yoruba guy(probably) pdp from his past comments but you just can't help dragging Igbo identity on him and finally injecting that guys across the niger eulogize mediocrity and nepotism..yorubas on this thread should focus on their achievements and stop unnecessary jabs at igbos before mad ones come here to do what they do best

Point out in chapter and verse where I mentioned the word 'Igbo.' Last time I checked, there were lots of people living across the Niger.

And nobody said the 'guy living across the Niger eulogise mediocity and nepotism', like you stated. Stop jumping to conclusions. .My words were clear: "folks from other areas who are used to mediocrity and nepotism." Can you see Igbo in that sentence??

asha80:
there is what is called inference..no need mentioning Igbo..like if I say ofe mmanu only a fool will not know what I am talking about.derail thread is for my mad brothers as I have already made inputs in this thread already which op knows.

Pls don't respond to me

Your inference is wrong. And thank you, there is nothing I'd like more, than NOT to respond to you again.

Forgive me, if I ignore you totally, because I know your plan is to derail this thread with your strange accusations.

Awojobi's innovative car was on display for many years, outside the Faculty of Engineering in University of Lagos! Wow!

asha80:
and this is coming from someone that profess neutrality

Did you even read the history of all the posts that led to my last comment? And where is the lack of neutrality?

Aareonakakanfo:
nisai and laudate, I definitely won't reply him again.I tried taking it easy with him because I can tell he's Yoruba.Thanks for the advice

You are welcome. You know that folks from other areas who are used to mediocrity and nepotism, would find the kind of excellence being celebrated on these pages, quite intimidating.

Just curious, who was the Level 16 officer that bailed him? Does anybody know?? Pray, do tell.

As for Kanu, let him go forth and sin no more!

PassingShot:
Why this much diatribe?

Chill man! This thread is for positive development in the SW. Even if you come across wrong info, point it out in a civil manner.

Ignore him! The guy is definitely not Yoruba. He is most likely an agbero from across the Niger.....who learnt the language from the motorparks.

Aareonakakanfo:
You again? Okay.Its like you're really hyped up and you think i'm your regular guy who wants to go back and forth with you eh.mosquito warrior.You better just keep all these your Teletubbies insults to yourself before i ch!t on you

Abeg, please don't respond to him again. He is an imposter, not an 'Omoluabi.' He wants to get you worked up so you can respond to him in anger, and that may end up eventually derailing the thread. Put his moniker on the 'ignore' button.

Who paid the 16 million naira bail?? Pray, do tell. Now let Kanu go forth and sin no more!

Curlieweed:
So in your experience, other people just love Igbos while we just hate them back for no reason? Your hypocrisy is very transparent. I will have more respect for you if you come out and just state your hatred for us instead of dribbling on and on about how we hate others and don't respect their irrelevant opinions.

Nah.... other folks don't hate Igbos, they are generally indifferent until the Igbo disrespect them and put them down, whenever there is a difference of opinion. Just like you have done.

If you disagree with my post, why not point out the portions you disagree with in chapter and verse, politely? No... you had to add insults in order to make your point. And that is the way most of the Igbo (not all) on NL react. So for now, I will overlook your petty name-calling, because I know you are only behaving true to type.

Were you chaps raised on a diet of insults?? I used to try and appeal to your brethren to see reason in the past. But not anymore. Now I give them back a taste of their own medicine, served without garnish.

Ehen, where was I?

So when the Igbo come calling with their plate offering of insults, vitriol and hate speech, of course, other non-Igbo do not take the insults lying low, and they respond to them in kind. Before you know it, the ethnic bashing starts and the non-Igbo also answer them using the same foul language. Abi na who be mumu??

basilo101:
so igbos should keep their head down and refuse to live to their full potentials in order to be loved?

Nah.. they should learn to respect other people's point of view, (even when they do not necessarily agree with it), and they should stop hating..! Everyone cannot think alike!
