with the way she sat in that pics, are you sure the second leg is there. You may just take a second look. My thought though

You're right. She's an Amputee and has an NGO advocating for Amputees.

It's called mọ̀nímọ̀ní in the Òkè Ògùn area of Oyo State. That's a variety of Yorùbá known as Òǹkò.

It's seasonal. It's usually got from igi ẹmi (shea butter trees) when the trees produce fruit for the year.

His accent is clear, clean and sweet.

I'm not Igbo sha, maybe an Igbo will have a contrary opinion.

whats the meaning of tolu in yoruba guys


na for abroad dey born me

It depends on whether your own Tolu is a full name or a short form of a longer name.

1. As a full name in its own right, Tólú is a merge of the verb 'tó' (to become) and the noun 'olú' (the head or a prominent person). Tólú in this sense is a prayer that means may you 'Become the Head/a Prominent Person' or 'Someone who will become the Head or a Prominent Person'

2. Tolu can also be a short form of several names such as
a. Tolúlọpẹ̀ (Praise is God's)
b. Tolúwani or Tolúwanimí (I am God's Own)
c. Tolúlayọ̀ or Tolúlayọ̀mi (My Joy is Sourced from God).
'olú' In those names is a short form of 'Olúwa' (Lord or God)

No we can't blame Boko Haram for wanting a better life. BUT WE CAN BLAME THEM FOR KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO WERE ALSO LOOKING FOR BETTER LIVES. Is the better life of Boko Haram in the hands of those innocent victims? WHY DIDN'T THEY CONFRONT THE ACTUAL PEOPLE THAT DENY THEM THEIR BETTER LIVES?

No matter how you paint it, Boko Haram is not justifiable. Do not justify a terrorist group.

You haven't answered the questions I asked.

Is this the first time we are seeing this in Nigeria?

In 2015, buhari stopped all contracts he inherited from Jonathan "till further notice".

Many state governors upon assuming office freeze all government accounts.

what is now special about Tinubus directive to CBN?

What is special about it is that it's the first time a Nigerian President detects salary padding in a major MDA in less than a month after assuming office. That this happens quite quickly should give you a signal that PBAT must have had loyalists giving him intelligence about all MDAs.

Governors would have set up a committee to investigate the padding, and before you know it, nothing fruitful comes out of it eventually.

This is taking a quick action. It's in no way the same as freezing a state government accounts.

FYI, I won't give you a further response. So no need quoting me any longer. I hope you see this in no sentimental view

How does stopping contracts relate to stopping salary payments due to salary padding?

You think everyone on Nairaland think with emotional blackmail?

Would you have preferred salary padding to go on unchecked?

No be everything you go dey condemn. Criticisms are good. But constructive ones are better

Àṣá gon win 2024

Good one

This war the Yorubas have started will consume the Yorubas one after the other


Onitsha is not Lagos state

Must you bring tribal sentiments to everything. Bro, go get a life please.

Fire incidents in major market places in Nigeria should be investigated.

PlayMaker14:
How is my comment an insult? Is everything ok with you?

By the way, is not "Result"

You are clever by half, bro.

That's a compliment. Cheers

CallmeTrinity:
I bet this is the same thief using a different account ,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Notice how this phone thief comments the same way

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ọ̀gá, take this last warning. Never you quote me again. Focus on the guy you have issues with, not me.

To bá tún quote mi, gbogbo àwọn ọ̀kànlérúgba Irúnmọlẹ̀ láá bámi fọwọ́ bà ọ́. Ẹni ìyà.

This is the height of bigotry.

Yorùbá ronú o! Àwọn ará ibi ṣe ń rí Yorùbá bí ọ̀tá wọn ná?

They just did

rippa:
Sha also defend Obi and Atiku when dey start doing the same
Dont come here and shout ethnic bigotry

Naso una defend Tinubu Muslim Muslim ticket but criticise Obi for honouring church
I

We're not talking about church or mosque here, ọgbẹran.

It's not a crime or tribal bigotry to speak your language where almost all of your audience understand the language. It's called sensibility, cultural pride.

Obi and Atiku can do same in the North and East.

Must you find faults in everything

franchasng:
Don't be deceived, 65% of Yorubas don't understand English, especially those living outside Lagos and Tinubu knows this.




The only Yorubas that understand English are those of them that have mixed with other tribes in Lagos, Ibadan, Agbara, Ore Ondo, etc.



I served in Yoruba land, I speak with audacity that majority of Yorubas outside Yoruba state capitals don't understand English.



If you go to Primary and Secondary schools in Yoruba states outside their state capitals, they teach them in Yoruba dialect. They even teach them English using Yoruba dialect.




But you are also right that an average Yoruba person is a born tribalist, yet they are not bold enough to demand for their own Yoruba country where they can live their life the way they cherish devoid of interference from any other tribe

This is one reason the Yorùbá language and culture are thriving, even outside Nigeria. Always, be proud of your language and culture; it's the only identity you've got.

Yorùbá ń gbayé lọ, àwọn dìndìnrìn ò mọ̀.

Mind you, I'm an Obi fan, but won't tolerate any trashing of my culture from anyone who is ashamed of their own.

Happy birthday Mama
You are a rare gem.

Yorùbá, o ti n rugbo bọ o

All's well

GMB at it again

I see Biafra realised

Freedom coming soon. With this, the Western World would want to support secession since they know majority of online users in Nigeria are Southerners.

I could see some slots that contains just one name. Is a single name permitted in the state or is it part of a culture of the state?

Thanks

Thank you, Mr Governor.

Some people will rack their brains to spit out nonsensical theories on how this is not a good development. The way they reason amazes me. Have they quickly forgotten that Chief Obafemi Awolowo made education totally free, and that's why the Southwest is the leading region in terms of education today.

Uhn

This MURIC man will live to regret his actions

I love PYO. I hope he becomes the next President

I sent you a mail. Please reply sir. Thanks

RIP sir
