Keep bigotry aside, the name funny if u know what he meant

My guy different names and even gestures mean different things around the world and no particular tribe or culture is superior to another. I won't rate German ahead of Efik my tribe. My point really is, even if funny in Ibo, it may mean something incredible in Yoruba and Yoruba is in no way second-fiddle to Ibo, so why try making a Yoruba with the name feel less human. Stay blessed man.

princechurchill:
If only Yorubas know the meaning of this name in Igbo they will stop answering it OLANIKE RAMOTU

And why should they be concerned about what it means in Ibo? Are they Igbos? Do you know the meaning of "Osu" in Yoruba? C'mon get away bigot. Why not live and let live?

uduak2016:
I don't like and I'm not comfortable with the way Hausa-Fulani and Yorubaas take this traditional royalty. SE and SS minus Edo don't take this traditional thing serious. Why not you Hausa-Fulani and Yorubaa unite to form country with monarchy and leave us SE and SS alone. Gosh Afonjas!

Kubinuafo obong owo. We have forgotten our roots as a people cause of our disrespect for traditional institution. The Obong of Calabar is not a force to reckon with because we do not refer him. I grew up in Benin and understand how the Oba is seen as a deity. The Queen of England is still very much respected. Not here where a child can slap an Igwe.

Cire80:
Shut up. Dino Melaye just like every other politician is corrupt but why must they prosecute because he opposed them? Is the fight against corruption supposed to be out of favoritism and cronyism? So if he had defended Magu, they will go blind to all his atrocities?

So because he opposed Magu, he shouldn't be investigated, else it will be witch-hunting. Guy go sit down, if he's clean, he has nothing to worry about. Whether is "for" or "against" Magu shouldn't matter. Is he guilty or not?

It seems a particular tribe supports anything corruption. I didn't mention any tribe, so you can't call me a tribalist.

Just waiting to hear from those who supported area father protesting last month against Baba, because they have been the same persons against Magu. Now that area papa has spoken, what will they say. Over to corruption-supporters.

EastGold:
At least efcc will stop chasing him

show the link where he was chased. Last I checked kalu even after defecting to apc is still in court.

This one strong ghan. Over to you Igbos.

henrydadon:
hahaha..see as this one dey para. trust me seun will be more successful if he come out of his shell..nairaland and Facebook are almost the same age..look where facebook is now..

Why not create yours to rank with Facebook? Has he complained to you He wants to outdo Facebook. The young man doesn't even seem interested in competition even with the likes of Linda ikeji. He may be okay feeding himself and family. Worry about yourself and not others. You forget Facebook desires to deal with global issues but from the article Osewa is interested more in Nigerian issues. Don't go around damaging people's emotions with the things you say.

Scenes from "Six" shot in Lagos? As in Bokoharam in Lagos? E be like oyibo people only know Lagos for Nigeria.

But na the same Nigeria all this people dey with me? Which kain wahala be all this? Where that Lekki dey sef?

iyke2k4:
Who told you it's big?first of all ,what Telecom company did he get the job with?

We all know what industries pay well after oil. I don't know the telecom that offered him employment anyway.

Huddler:
Your type can be easily brainwashed.

How will religion solve the problems we have in africa?

what has caused the problem of extremism? Find the cause and the cure crops up. Yorubas lifestyle of accommodation has provided empirical proof that living and let live; accommodating one another is solution to the world crisis. My guy stop the hating. How does loving various people result in brainwashing? How many Yorubas have you seen brainwashed into involving in Bokoharam? America today creates room for various people with various belief and lifestyle to live in; Lagos does same; that is civilisation and not all this backward reasoning of hate. Even in Benin, Christian and Muslims live peacefully especially in Aduwawa area; have they been brainwashed? Auchi has a good population of Muslims, has the Christians been brainwashed? In Ebonyi, there is an Islamic school; on your way through to Afikpo; have the Christians there started bombing? Live and let live. You know the truth, do not let hate blind you, cause what you write here, the world see it and may use it against you sometime if future when you need the goodwill of everyone.

It's quite big, that I know. Always wanted to work in any telecom legal unit but have never seen an advert seeking new recruits. You are lucky if you got a job with them.

Huddler:
How can you be a member of 15 religion all in the same time?

If embracing a 100 religions will allow peace reign in the world today, then why not. Boko Haram practice one religion, no peace up north. The Crusaders and Puritans were Christian extremist. These guys with one religion didn't give room for peace. Truth is if those guys in Southern Kaduna were like the Yorubas who have Christian and Muslim under same roof and even inter-marry, the killings we hear won't occur as no one will brazenly attack his wife or hubby. My man we know this truth and admire the sight of 2 religions sharing love but because of the hate we display on Naira and our taking sides, we fail to admit this truth. By the way, a traditional ruler is father to all and not just traditional worshippers but all.

Huddler:
Who released this one?

Just answer his simple question or admit you are wrong. Yoruba is best for accommodating various persons with various belief system. The rest of us are too extreme but especially those up north.

We are in our way to bouncing back. No more "Yakubu stacking cash" drama. God bless Nigeria.

I use Glo, always have. Proudly Nigerian.

ZarZar:
Awwww, honestly I sympathize because truly black is black in the eyes of other races. I'm not a believer in moving to other countries to "get a better life" personally, so my hopes is for our individual countries to finally get it together so its citizens don't have to leave home & risk being humiliated in faraway lands. Because currently, most Africans are just like orphans & it's sad hey.

Hey; making a Southy a.sshole, a friend tonight isn't a bad one. Why don't we hook up on Instagram? It's actually my pleasure.

ZarZar:
LMAO @ marry a Nigerian man. TBH, I don't click with them well in real lbife, but I've leaned to never say never because life is strange like that. Sigh. This xhenophobia thing is not as widespread as some people believe or make it out to be. I've not seen anyone being attacked in my area. It's only there & there, areas which are a bit far from where I live. Have it not been a friend telling me about it, I honestly wouldn't have known it was happening again because people were going on about their business as usual. Shrugks.

I'm glad it's not widespread. My twin sister returned from India just recently so she could give birth here, she equally complained of Indian police men breaking into the premises of blacks and accusing them of all sorts of crimes, even though it is these same Indians that encourage crimes perpetuated by other nationals. They aid and abate. Both scenarios are similar, only this time; it is only the police officers and not citizens that do the attacking. A lot needs to be done by the International community in protecting human rights of non-citizens of countries across the world.

ZarZar:
No need to explain lol. I've been on NL long enough to understand your slangs. I was just pulling your leg. Anyway, it's not Nigeria alone that is experiencing problems. In South Africa we have our own too. And the internet banter between us is not that deep because at the end of the day, when one of us (African countries) gets their shit together, the continent starts looking more credible in the eyes of the world. In my heart I have nothing but best wishes for all of us.

Lol. You no well o. Dem no fit jonse you here again, as you are well grounded in the Nigerian lifestyle. Not bad, but go a step further and marry a Nigerian man if you are not already married; that way you become Naija by blood. You fit still dump your hubby for a Naija boy o-kidding. But I'm glad right now for the sole fact that I'm convinced within me( I may be wrong), that if you go out tomorrow and see a Nigerian being attacked, you'll come to his rescue. That is comforting

ZarZar:
lol @ "thrash". Ogun would have to bury me because you just keed me with that word o Anyway, good night. My heart is not evil, so I wish you sweet dreams.

Awww that's sweet. Used "kee" as this forms part of the Naija nomenclature. Certain expressions have better appeal when you make it as Nigerian as it could get. Good night my dear and understand that leadership is the the fundamental problem we are struggling with else Nigerians have no business travelling.

ZarZar:
So you'd rather butcher your own? So much for that compatriotism trash you were spewing earlier on. You enjoy your own brotherly slaughter too, Cain.

No let Ogun kee you o. You've been an a.sshole enough for today, go to bed as you always do and allow Nigerians worry over their challenges. Don't come on a Nigerian forum spewing thrash on how you want to debunk wrong claims; just go on and murder our brothers who bad leadership push into being at your mercy. Ozwor!

ZarZar:
Lol @ compete for the blood of Nigerians you so enjoy killing. You mean the same way you ritualists enjoy doing to each other on daily basis, right? Thanks for the go ahead, I'll let it be known

At least we don't go looking for the blood of foreigners. So why not shut the f.uck up and enjoy your cannibalism while it last. All thanks to our rogue leaders. Omenkalives, Ngenekwenu, Biafranbushboy,firefire,Anonimi, Ipob, Modath. This is the result of our washing our dirty linen outside; our enemies now exploit our short comings. Let it be known that when these idiots attack our brothers, they don't say "leave him, he is Biafran", they see you as Nigerian and commit the dastard act. If we busy ourselves as youths pushing for necessary reforms and see politicians as common enemies, this craze from Zulu kingdom won't be here insulting our collective sensibility. That said Zulu kolo, commot for my mention, go continue your slaughter.

ZarZar:
LMAO. When logic fails, insult, insult, insult! Wetin for concern any Nigerian with SA? You tell me! Your compatriots are the ones making thread after thread about SA. So maybe you should direct the question at them. I'm simply here to eradicate rumour & hearsay. No doubt you're in Naija, hence you're blowingk the biggest steam. A lawyer you say? I doubt it! Must be one of those bought degrees you're practising with

Ode! What daft logic? Why not spend the time you spend here eradicating rumour and hear say, on joining your "team mates" compete for the blood of Nigerians you so enjoy killing because they came seeking money and better infrastructure? About being a lawyer and buying degrees, suit yourself cow!

ZarZar:
What is my point? Can't you read? This touches on patriotism for me too so I will correct any misconception I see. THAT is my point! South Africa is riding you like a horse? How? If the Nigerians living in South Africa feel their lives are in danger here, then why are they still standing outside Home Affairs to renew permits? It's funny how it's always those who are left back home, with the biggest mouths. Your brothers choose to continue to live here, noone is holding them hostage. If you had sense you'd ask yourself the following: If South Africa & her people are so terrible, then why is everyone "risking" their lives just to remain or visit such a horrible, horrible place? Hmmm...

You don de ma.d abi? I no blame you, na our leaders I blame when loose guard us, hence wetin for concern any Nigerian with S.A. Now f.uck off my mention, I'm not in S.A, I'm in Naija and doing well as a lawyer in my little way. Craze person!

ZarZar:
We're mentally lazy & yet we know stuff needs to be upgraded? Oxymoron or just ramblings from a confused slowpoke? FYI, South Africa looks better now & has more tourist attractions than it did during Apartheid, so asual, you people just like to expose your foolishness every chance you get.

So what exactly is your point? Before you go shouting everyone is rambling, realise this touches on patriotism. For goodness sake should we because of our inadequacies allow SA ride us like horses. Maybe if a friend of yours died in one of the attacks, you won't insult our sensitivities by using the word rambling.

Genea:
its a broken heart and not a heart of stone, i wud rather pray I don't get hooked with a cheat

ok broken heart or "broked" heart boss. A broken spirit is one that seeks forgiveness as shown in Ps. 51; not one leaving a lost man for the dogs. I'm a Redeemer too. Happy Sunday.

Glad Nigerians have come out to condemn her travelling to SA for birthday. Celebrities who should use the advantage they have to push for reforms both internally and on the image of Nigeria to the world do not do this but instead club everyday; open up new clubs and look for red carpet. That's all!

Never booked space but did it this once for Patriotism. For heaven sake why encourage SA to disrespect Nigeria by going there for the purpose of throwing party. This is not even about going there to hustle, but for party? Your likes buy foreign stuff, export money abroad and then begin to decry Naira value. Really in Nigeria, we have leadership and followership problems. GaskiyA!
