There's absolutely nothing wrong with debt

there's good debt and bad debt

Don't mind the Ozuor above me the irony is that Benue is a huge gully erosion hotspot


Erosion is prevalent all over Nigeria

I hope Anambra government does something about thier own

JESHAL007:
In western societies with gynocentric laws that don't favour men, you don't have the luxury of getting the "good woman" because the laws incentives bad behaviour in women, simply put you can't find a quality wife there, I don't care how religious she is, but in fairly conservative societies like patriarchal Africa, you can get away with the "good girl myth" because the culture isn't yet "woke" unlike liberal societies.

I understand man.

There are exceptions bro.

it's ok.

Thanks.

I made my point.

EreluRoz:
I'm so disappointed with your comments so far.

So redpill teaches you to use a lady in her prime and dump her later and also turn around to call her evening newspaper.

Now someone will say redpill is not evil hian

stfu troll!

redpoll is amoral

you do whatever you like with it

it's his life.

like he said that's his own personal application of redpill some guys are worse.
run along troll

JESHAL007:
Having an "understanding girlfriend" doesn't negate female nature, sure you are broke, she's accommodative, how you not sure she's not having another backup plan, how are you sure your relationship is not on a timeline, be wise In your dealing with women even the ones giving you NAWALT vibes.

everything is wrong with generalising all men as criminals and prone to violence due to our Testosterone levels is linked to violent behaviour
but NAWALT Is bad thing right?

mathematics is the language of the universe.
Anyone who's good at math will agree that there are exceptions in every math data X/0 is a very common math ratio which shows exception

My point is, there's nothing like NAWALT vibe NAWALT is real
AWALT isn't always true . make you no go treat good woman bad Ajeh

Shadow ko Spectre ni. It would surprise you that Lagos will thrive more when Nigeria divides and we have to tax foreigners more. Many of your people can never leave the SW.

Again , Necessity is the mother of invention.

Go and read about Philadelphia in the 1800s and early 1900s and what its like Today compared to then.

predictor1:
You don't know what you are saying. When the capital was shifted away from Lagos, many believed Lagos would be affected. How market?
You think if Nigeria splits hausas, ibos will just up and go like that. No, many will still maintain their operations there because of the population and geographical factors. The East and the north are not favoured geographically. Or you think someone like Dangote will just take his refinery and go.

Lagos State is still having hangover from the 77 years federal presence as FCT

if Nigeria divides Lagos will be a major hit!

necessity is the mother of invention

Lagos will be the shadow of itself if Nigeria divides

predictor1:
If Nigeria divides Lagos will still thrive. It's the financial hub of West Africa. A lot of investment has been planted there. In fact, even Ibos will find it very difficult to leave Lagos if Nigeria divides. I wonder which kind of schools you go to in the East.

you're delusional to think Lagos won't be affected


Go and check what warri was like in the 80s and early 90s those oil cooperation headquarters were there


Lagos heads the branch of almost all firms in Nigeria if Nigeria divided no country will accept any major company headquarters outside the shores of Thier country

Starboytwo:
so if everybody go their way, where Lagos go join? East, west, north??

you realise Lagos is what is today not because of the LAND the people there are what is the real deal

Lagos just like everywhere isn't just concretes, glass and metals but the people

if Nigeria divided Lagos Will be the shadow of itself

necessity is the mother of invention

Starboytwo:
Plus Lagos nko?

it's still a shit hole! just a manageable one

Lagos isn't built by SW people alone so you people don't have right to take COMPLETE credit about it's viability it was capital from 1914-1991 that's a whooping 77 years! If you doubt the influence of what FCT does go and check Abuja before 1991

if we talk about SE we talk about the largest market in west Africa in Anambra

Huge industrial hub in Abia with another large market Ariaria market one of the largest in Nigeria

The Real estate hub of Nigeria Enugu and it's beautiful cold mountainous terrain

Imo is the educational hub of Nigeria and 4th largest economy in Nigeria

the fact two SE states sits above your O-states shows how viable their economy is


Again apart from Lagos which To fair everyone built SW is one poor region no cap

if we are to account for the states that have Igbos in them it will be bloody

Goodvibes007:
Whatever rocks your boat.

what rocks my boat is facts and figures

we don't even have Biafra but SE is the most built up Region by percentage land mass

Again, apart from Lagos SW is just one big slum

no wonder no SW state have up to 80% of their people living in Thier states of Origin all Una na from Lagos

Goodvibes007:
You posted 2021 and you are asking me what year is mine. Lol. You think StatiSense is the only agency releasing datas abi. LMAO.

mine have date yours does not


SE has the least number of poor people in Nigeria

by miles!!

Goodvibes007:
Stat here.

what year is that?

I gave you not only 1 data but two

obviously you can't read properly

SE has the highest literacy rate in Nigeria today by miles!

Goodvibes007:
Even your stat, if you find the average, you will see the SW is still ahead. E.g. Add the rich, middle class and poor, them divide the percentages by 3.

😭😭😭😭

cry me a river

I showed you stats you dey cry

you people are doing well.Good to be back

Goodvibes007:
Are you minding that guy. He was lying with so much with confidence. SW is the next oil rich region after SS. In addition, SW has the richest household and it's economy leads in internal revenue generation as well. The reason why the SE who move to SW to do business succeed is because of the spending power of the SW, else they would have stayed back in their region and sell to themselves.

garbage 🗑️


SE is by far the richest region

SE dominates the rich and mid class of Nigeria

SE are the most literated

SE has the lowest amount of out of school children

SE is the most urbanized region in Nigeria


keep living in denial

minus Lagos SW is a sh!thole

illicit:
Yeah

That's why I said 'usually'

Some words are just used because of its popular usage and acceptability

But when u borrow a thing from a language, u often borrow the name with it, for example Pressing iron, in Yoruba it is still "Iron"

Table is still Table or "Tabili'

Sugar is sugar

Block is block

Pure water is usually pure water

There is also agglutination, etc

true

Ekiti? My favourite state from SW

That state na Peaceful place o


With alot of educated people I can testify to that anywhere


It's well

illicit:
Ok now

When u loan a word from a language to call something

It usually means that that same thing was not present in your environment before

It's usually that you borrowed that thing and the name it's called

If you have that thing before, you will have a name for it

To the best of my knowledge, the benins used to have Ogiso, which is a duke

When Yoruba introduced Kingship to them, the name came with it

Not necessarily true

For example

I can say "

That's your mom over there ọkwa ya?

But I always prefer saying

That's your mom over there abi?

Abi is Yoruba word and ọkwa ya is igbo word for same thing 'right'

It's just convinience


I have seen Yorubas saying
Biko alot that doesn't mean they don't have a word for 'please'
It's just convnience.

Again I might be wrong one thing I'm sure tho is oduduwa can not fall from the sky who knows Binis might be right saying he's Thier son
. Binis might be wrong too sha who knows

cutecommend:
What language does members of your family speak often to each other?

(a) Pidgin English
(b) Polished English language
(c) Your Tribal language.
(d) Sign language

etc.

English

Igbo

illicit:
You are diverging


Does Oba mean anything in Benin Language

It's either yes or no

Talking about Igbo Language is very irrelevant here

Because Oba in Igbo doesn't mean what it means in Benin or Yoruba, so it's out of point


In Yoruba, O - ba means King, he who presides...

In Benin, explain how oba means King, simple

I am a Linguist

If you're a linguist you'd know that

Words can be borrowed from people you've made contact with and doesn't necessarily means they don't have a word for it . They just prefer to use the borrowed word

I had a conversation about this topic with my friend yesterday . He's actually a linguist , He said it's absolutely possible to replace a local word by a borrowed word from another neighbouring language. According to him it's called Lexical replacement or loan word replacement.
It happens alot especially with society you've come in contact with and it's the basis of English language . English is 80+% loanwords! So what's the fuss about.

Op they're coming for you o children of hate liar
Them say oduduwa fell from the sky

illicit:
So what does oba mean in Benin Morphology

Explain pls

You realise bini and other languages of southern Nigeria are from the Niger-Congo language family


And yes there are converging linguistic links here and there


For example

Oba in ìgbo means Barn for yams and other produces

Obà still means that plant used in making calabash


So don't brag about origin of word with people you're in same language family with


It ight mean something in their language you never can tell


If na lie ask any Igbo person wetin Olaniyi means in Igbo you'll be shocked

ednut1:
https://www.nairaland.com/7591924/geo-political-breakdown-2023-presidential-election the stats shows that south east was the tribalistic one.

When they voted

Yar adua

Obj

Atiku


You didn't bring this list



How many times have you people voted Igbos but Igbos have voted obi twice!


Tribalists!

Godfullsam:
An average Igbo thinks too high of himself.

How on earth will you even entertain the thought that, if igbos leave lagos, the Lagos economy will collapse?

No be mumu be that?!

What's wrong with thinking big about one's self?

Alot of cries of from Af0njas

xavuv:
Pain killers, folic acid every now and then, cancel all mosquitoes in that area , balanced diet, little stress and enough rest.

Plus ready on demand emergency fund just incase.

These are from my experience when i lived with someone having SS.

As a health professional I'll say

Malaria is the least concern of people with sickle cell

They're almost immune to it

yoruboid:
Another chest thumping thread

Have you heard of Eva Care or Duchess Intl Hospitals in Lekki and Ikeja GRA respectively?

This hospital won’t even make top 30 in Lagos

Pained
