Achor1111:

J2381:

naijaboy756:
lol. WHERE IS THE CHANGE？ Too late to cry. See people trooping to INEC office to get PVC. It is no longer the era of not going to vote. We must collect our dear Naija from the clowns in power called APC

12submarine:
Bola Tinubu has not changed. Almost twenty years ago. Even Almustapha has changed,

Megabig:
Nigeria always mentioned everywhere...Nigerian everywhere...Nigerians are talented and Nigerians are hero's... We are really blessed all...A Happy New Month to all Nairalanders

maclatunji:
Do you know that according to Chinua Achebe, appointing a king was a form of taboo in Igbo land? Most Igbo settlements were villages nor heavily populated, poorly equipped militarily. They could not withstand the superior military might of the Binis and their allies.

All those guys had to do was organize raiding parties overpower the Igbo resistance and that was it.

konoplyanka:
At least you admit they have influence on onicha what about anioma?

The English people was under the Roman Catholic for centuries and thus had Latin influence.

Ignorant mofo doesn't even know that Spanish, french and Portuguese were from Latin. The Royal family is of German descent.

maclatunji:
Duh, they were taking Igbos and selling them as slaves. There was very little reason to interact culturally with people you simply raided.

How come the Obi of Onitsha copies Benin regalia?

konoplyanka:
Please stop with your ignorance. Yoruba just know ibo I n less than 150 years ago. We had nothing in common and didn't have any contact before the Advent of the colonialists. Ibos it is easy to borrow words from hausas which we have had contact with for centuries than ibos. Also, Edo had influence on ibos and could have made borrowing yoruba words easy.

You don't borrow words from people in foreign land unless they come to learn from your land.

maclatunji:
Sorry you are hurt, but facts cannot be twisted. The truth is a large portion of people sold into slavery in pre-Independence Nigeria were Igbos, it was not really fellow Igbos doing this but people with superior civilizations finding it easy to overrun the largely scattered Igbo villages that never found the ability to form a state of their own.

BabaIbo:
ask question before you disgrace yourself outside... it has so many meaning in igbo.. I will list some out for you
nko- edged
nko- hook
nko- to tease or abuse some one
and so many more... can you tell me it's Yoruba meaning

scholes0:
Thank you jare my sister.

That is how one Igbo guy was arguing with me the other day that “Nko” is an Igbo word because they now use it.


I was like.... Jesu!
