RedboneSmith:
These names are as a result of very extensive contact with European traders, from the 16th century on. The European traders had a hard time pronouncing the native names of their Ijaw and Efik trade partners. So they either Europreanised their native names or gave them pure European aliases which stuck. Yellowe for instance was Europeanised from Iyala; Horsfall from Osifolo. Henshaw, Ephraim, Duke, Hogan, Cobham, etc all have native Efik equivalents which I don't remember offhand.

OK.Why didn't this happen amongst other tribes too?Because i know the Europeans also had a hard time pronuncing their names

Hmmm Hungary

Hmmm

Better don't eat it.

I don't see any need for the rush,
The guy is still taking his time to make sure things are in place before properly introducing you to his people.

Let's all join hands in a round of applause as we welcome our resident Nairaland pastor,Evang.Righteousness89,to the podium to tell us the spiritual implication of this discovery.

Hmmm
This is strong.
Your asshole is reacting to the drugs.

I suggest you buy ose oji(alligator pepper) and apply it generoulsy on the affected area.

Just can't stop thinking of how these lovely looking women must have begged for their lives in their last moments.

Hmmm
Too bad
It's this kind of attitude that discourages helpers from assisting the genuine ones.

Cool to know

Stupid man

whenever he's caught,he should be castrated.

He should be castrated

I've noticed the for a long time now that many Rivers state indigenes bear westernized surnames like Blankson, Douglas, Perricosta, Souza, Graham, Peterson, McColumbus, etc.

I have seen indigenes of Rivers who bear the above listed surnames alongside other ones too numerous to mention.Was there any kind of foreign culture influx in Rivers State that influenced these surnames?? Or have they just been bearing these kind of surnames right from inception?

I need opinions on this.

Hmmm

She's free to eat anyhow she wants.

Oba should direct his warnings to Oshiomole.


Oshiomole's career is on the line and he will be the one to employ various dark strategies to secure victory but unfortunately for him,the votes of Edo people will prevail.

It will end in premium tears for Oshiomole and he will cry like Ihedioha.

Gov.Obaseki the people's governor should already start preparing for his swearing in ceremony.

4+4=Torwagba

Obaseki the slayer of Oshiomole's career

It seems that Lucy has a problem in associating with people.


She gets annoyed easily and loves alienating herself from others at any slight provocation.

Lucy really needs to be loved.She needs that love of a man who will give her mind blowing sex.

If this is your problem then you don't have any problem

The truth is many fraudulent activities in Alaba are perpetrated by Igbo people and i'm Igbo.

We really need to do better.

The first time i went to Alaba to buy a phone;a second-hand phone,i was ripped off by my supposed 'brother' who claimed to have come from the same place as i am.

I was sold a phone with a dead panel.When i went back the next day for a refund,i was told to add more money to collect another phone.A phone i don't even know if it was in perfect working condition.

Can you imagine?!

I couldn't involve any older person or task force to help me handle the issue because the money to mobilise them no dey and shame sef follow hold me at how easily i trusted them based on say we be 'brothers'.

I was angry within myself.Whenever you're too trusting and want to do a honest business with your Igbo brother but get defrauded,people will blame you as a mugu and hail the other one as 'sharp'.


This is not to say there are not honest Igbo business men in Alaba,there are but the thing is evil or bad quite easily always overshadows good.A person can run a successful business transaction with 7 different honest Igbo traders at different point in time but 1 bad business gone wrong from another Igbo man will always linger in his memory.

Try to do your due diligence whenever you want to procure any gadget.

If possible,go with your friend as it will be difficult to defraud 2 people at same time

Hmmm

You only get paid an equivalent of the revenue you generate.


The men's game is far more marketable and profitable.
How many even watch women's football in Nigeria?

It's just like the porn and modelling industry.
The women there rake in more than the men because they generate more revenue and are far more marketable than the men.

This is sad.
I suggest you begin to flog your father with cane since he's stubborn.

Cane is the only language a drunkard understands.
It's no use advising him against it because he will surely do otherwise.

If you can't cane him,you can trail him to the bar where he drinks and embarass him and his friends.

Where are all these devilish trucks coming from?

Congrats to him.
Many women don't like him because of the way he portrays black woman in his films

Suarez still has a role to play in this squad.His
experience and guile is still needed on the
pitch and as well in mentoring the
young attackers coming through the
youth ranks.
