Family › Eating In The Dream, Good Or Bad? by Mode4(op): 6:51pm On Jan 16, 2021*

My post is a little long, but I will try and summarise it.

I had a friend who came to spend Christmas and new year with me in Port harcourt. Before now he had visited me twice, and in the two occasions he visited, he didn't stay up to a week. I was the one who was providing food and most of the things we consumed. However when we hanged out, he use to buy drinks.

This time around he came with another guy, a friend of his from his hometown and they brought food stuff with them which we cook sometimes. However, I started observing something shortly after they arrived. Anytime I go to bed, I will eat in my dream. I didn't like it so I prayed.

When we started fasting in my church this year I joined. Within this period, I couldn't buy food or cook anything anymore, so he bought food all the food and prepared the meals. However whenever I broke my fast and ate, that night, I will eat in my dream. And sometimes I will see him in the scene eating as well. I became worried.

After a few days I became sick and I had to stop fasting so I could go for treatment. The day I started taking injections, my gf came and did the cooking with the money I gave her. That night I didn't eat in the dream. When I woke up, I was happy, I prayed and thanked God. I didn't tell my gf anything. However, I said to myself, well if eating the food she prepared would stop me from eating in the dream, then maybe I should stick to her food. I didn't eat in my dream while she was around and prepared my meals.After two days she went back to her place.

The day she left was the day I completed the injections I was taking. That day, My friend, cooked and I ate his food. He bought bread in the evening and I drank tea with it. That night I ate in the dream so much, I even drank tea as well. I was so frightened when I woke up. I wanted to tell him but I felt it wasn't going to make any sense, so I didnt.

Well to cut the long story short, I have been preparing my own food now and ignoring his food. For the past few days, I am not eating in the dream anymore. My friend started complaining that I am not eating his food, and he has been very unhappy and moody ever since. I'm not bothered, I'm not going to tell him anything.

However, The question I want to ask is, is there a connection between him or his food and me eating in the dream? And if there is, should I ask him to leave?

Christianity Etc › An Opinion About The New Ibibio Language Bible And Written Ibibio by Mode4(op): 3:20pm On Jan 09, 2021

The writers of the Ibibio Bible "nwed Abasi ke ikó Ibibio ayo mfîn" have done a good job. I feel highly elated that I can now read the Bible in my own mother tongue "Ibibio" Instead of Efik language which has been in circulation for ages. Notwithstanding, the Efik Bible is still highly valuable to us since most of us still have access to it than Ibibio bible which was launched few months ago.

On this note, I call on the Akwa Ibom state government and other well meaning individuals and corporate bodies to step in, to promote and enforce the learning of Ibibio language. This is in order to promote and instill the culture of reading the language with ease, as many speakers of the language including myself are still struggling with reading the written form of the language.

That being said, I'm not a language expert or a linguist, but I understand as a writer that the spoken and written form of a language are not usually the same. The latter may likely pose a challenge to even the native speakers once the elements used in the written form are strange. This is largely because the owners of the language may not be used to reading the written form of the language or are completely ignorant of its elements. This is the case of the Ibibio language.

The Ibibio language in its written form is alien to many speakers. This is because many of the speakers weren't introduced to learning how to read and write the language the same way it was for English. Infact, many people are familiar with written Efik language, a close dialect, than Ibibio language, largely because the former has been used in church worship and taught in schools long before written Ibibio was introduced.

As a result, majority of the speakers are not familiar with the vowel sounds and consonant clusters as used in the written form of Ibibio language. This poses a great challenge in reading the language fluently without struggle. And if you agree with me, it can be embarrassing reading one's native language with so much struggle as if it were a foreign language.

Taking a cue from the just written and printed version of the Ibibio bible, so many linguistic modifications or words used aren't familiar at all, hence make reading difficult. For instance the use of "Yisos" for "Jesus" , "Yoon" for "John" and "fidibai" for "Philippians" are just but a few linguistic modifications used which are not familiar words to majority of the educated populace who are used to "Jesus, John and Philippians" NOT "Yisos, Yoon and Fidibai"

I can understand that the Ibibio language experts and linguists have tried in their bid to introduce these elements so as to give the language its unique qualities and features; however they and the government should also make these elements popular and familiar to the people by making learning of the language compulsory in schools and even social and political gatherings. By so doing, many people will eventually find "written ibibio" easy to read and understand. It will no longer be a thing for linguistic and language experts only.

Family › Would It Be Wrong If I Get Someone To Kill Me? by Mode4(op): 9:45pm On Jan 06, 2021

I actually feel like commiting suicide but I am worried about my family most especially my mum, if it's my dad and siblings I won't mind. Another reason is GOD. I'm aware taking one's life is a sin and one might end up in hell. I don't want to burn in hell if it really exist.

To me I think Jesus arranged for his own death through Judas. The whole sacrifice of him dying for us was prearranged. So I seriously want someone to kill me. I jus wanna die, through a gunshot most preferably, something real quick.

We are largely L2 speakers of English.

Why do u think it is not remotely possible?

nickvanilla:
It means; is English the first language you were introduced to after birth?

Whether you were born in a country that's not considered a native speaking country is not the question.

If English is the first language you learnt to speak, then it's your first language.

Some Nigerian children only know how to speak English. They may be Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa but they were not taught any other language apart from English while growing up. I even know Nigerians living here who would get lost if you try to talk to them in Pidgin English.

Actually English was my first language. My mum is Igbo while my dad is ibibio so I didn't get to learn any of their native languages early enough. I only learnt ibibio later.

I have tried to Google this question in the internet but I'm not getting any straight forward answer. I was filling a form for overseas studies and this questioned popped up. I am confused because as Nigerians, I know we are not considered "native speakers of English" but at the same time I don't know if the question "Is English your first language" and being a native speaker mean the same thing. Please if it does, let me know your views, thank you.

It depends. Some programs run for two years (four semesters), while some run for one year ( three semesters: Spring, Summer and Fall)
If you evaluate your credential, and put up a decent score in your GRE, you could secure a Graduate Assistantship which comes with full funding and a monthly stipend to take good care of yourself. You could be in the USA studying Master's Fall of 2021 if you are really keen about the move.

Did you say full funding? Like I won't pay school fees or any of the other fees?

So I decided to shave the hairs in my chest and stomach today for the first timeJust to see how it looks, and to my greatest surprise I noticed this line in my stomach. I haven't really seen any guy man with it before. Tho I have seen it on ladies.

All day I have been shy, I cant step out of my door without wearing a shirt because I don't want neighbors to see it. Do we have guys who have it?

It's a feature of man, so it is normal to feel that way. Yours is somewhat high but, would likely die off if activities takes your time (e.g. playing games or reading funny stuff and sleep off to that) or disheartening situations occurred.
