Again.

If you're very familiar with a tribe other than your native one, here's your thread.

What a tasteless thread.

Very crass.

OP are you an adult? You must be very irresponsible if so.

Marlian perhaps.

Divay22:
Funny but that was her surname and she's a Nigerian.

Are you sure about that.


Or this is fake id things?

abuuzy:
Can I listen to myself..
Someone close to you sent you an address for a meet up,which is just casual outing and you decided to delete such message,then came the moment she needed it, eventually made a fool of herself causing confusion and you here typing rubbish.
Why would you delete an address,if not that she's playing games with different hearts.
Her thick skull didn't figure out it just a casual outing,she is not intelligent enough and thinking she is smart.since she isn't honest with herself.

Unless she's doing something illegal or the texts show her trying to harm someone else, whatever she does with her phone is her own business.

Were her texts showing an intent to harm somebody?

And op has deactivated.

Divay22:
Hmmmm
I can only thank God for where i am today. Sometimes when i look back and see how slow the journey is i can't help but be sad. But on the other side I'll forever be grateful it's a privilege.


Still looking for my best friend in secondary school by the name America Faith
I don't know where you are now babe, but heaven knows I'll be more than happy to see you again. but until then i hope you're kicking with life and i pray life be good to you.

Hope to see you again some day

Nigerians have not started naming their kids America yet.

Perhaps after this your post they'll do that.

So where did you meet a Nigerian called America Faith?

macof:
Lets try to go with logic here and resolve this with common sense

Movement of people is still common today, has always been and would always be. That is why the factors I mentioned and so many more unmentioned are critical before coming to conclusions, reason why you couldn't address the analogy I made

At best what you have done there is to assume that human nature of moving around automatically means Yoruba could have come from the middle East
How about the people of the middle East could have come from West Africa? By what formula did you arrive at the conclusion that the middle East is the start of any such migration if such migration even existed between the middle East and West Africa. And why the middle East? Migration in ancient times only involved the middle East?
People did not migrate within Africa?

I did not say Yoruba migration started from the mid east.

Neither did I say anything else you posted.

I'm simply looking at the possibility of the narrative there is middle eastern influence in Yoruba ancestry.

It in no way negates other theories you might have regarding ancient migration patterns in west Africa?

NwaAmaikpe:




Legend has it that my maternal great grandfather was the first African hunter to kill a dinosaur.

My great grandmother was the first woman to cook dinosaur meat.
It's a shame that bad belle people have left this out of my nation's history books.

Why dont you write fiction.

Danisaint112:
Guys, did you hear that last part? "If you venture to wear red cloth bad luck will follow you."
This is the kind of place I don't go tourist attraction.

all give photographers and nature-loving tourists an unlimited scope to savour.

So who is allowed to go there since the article specifically mentions photographers and nature loving tourists.

Her phone, her privilege.

Why is it other people's business?

And why do you people childishly run to nairaland opening threads to let us know every single thing you do and all of your interactions or spyings?

Did we say we're interested in the information?

macof:
.
There are many theories of origin... All of which have been put through scrutiny and all failed to stand the very basic levels of historical scrutiny

What levels are those?

You are simply trying to be careful here, best you let out exactly what you mean.

I said exactly what I mean, which is I don't think middle eastern migration theories are too far fetched.

Yes, even though Yorubas are black and negroid/negro.

A lot of migration in ancient times can mean anything

true

And there are several factors to be considered from time length of migration, to migration pattern to size of migration and so much more

No argument there.

You seem to want to suggest that middle eastern people migrated into Yorùbáland.

It's possible, I'm not saying it was impossible?

Whether I agree or not is largely insignificant right now but the aforementioned factors are obviously not considered. So let me use this analogy :
There has been an increased number of middle eastern migrants in Europe. So therefore Europeans are from the middle East?

Your analogy is a false or misleading one because the two situations (Yoruba versus Europe migration) aren't the same.

Looking at facts:

Ancient Africa did not have the geographical and political fault lines of modern times

Movement of people was common

People would most likely migrate along established routes and knowledge at that time. Have you found out what those established routes were? The atlantic was not necessarily a more convenient option than land crossings. So moving southwards did not have to involve ships and could be done on foot albeit over a long distance.


With the arrival of Europeans in the 15th century or so, migration routes started to change to sea based instead of mostly land based. This is a common sense inference.

Yoruba would not have been a closed society where no immigration was possible. Nothing suggests this.

kingxsamz:
And what if after all this, things go sideways and he starts developing feelings for the new lady?

Stop supporting evil.
What is bad is bad.

That's just speculation, there are no what ifs in this scenario, since it did not happen.

You're overly emotional about the issue, it's not evil versus non evil, it's simply a matter of what is expedient.

In my opinion, dislike or excessive like can be a reason why it might not be advisable to work with someone, it's just a fact.

Delite01:
From my tribe.. Yoruba
Though tribe shouldn't be a barrier but personally I always find it hard to like any man not from Yoruba speaking part of the country especially Igbo. Maybe because of the language and cultural differences.

lolz

I think you mean like.

It means don't speak big English, pidgin might be better.

Nigerian English is preferred.

.

If someone looks Nigerian but is not Nigerian, is that an indication of Nigerian ancestry?

I don't think it always is although perhaps it could be hard to tell..

Should I just edit the thread title to read Stop Disturbing Women's Peace?

The shamelessness of Ilekokonit is mind boggling.

macof:
Ultimately I do not mean to measure anybody's degree of yorubaness on a faceless forum.

. . .a cheap and cowardly scheme they resort to in attempt to "disqualify" you from discussing Yoruba history anytime they have nothing to say or they just rant and go off topic and hope you would leave them alone

I edited your quoted post because I don't think a Yoruba middle eastern link is too far fetched.

It was ancient times, there was no doubt a lot of migration.

There are many theories of origin, which involve the regions to the northern parts of and beyond Africa.

Guinea Bissau, definitely looks Nigerian:

Guinea Bissau, I guess they look somewhat Nigerian:

Notasaints:
Sorry ! it's Guinea-Bissau not Ugandan

My bad.

hm, ok.

I'd say almost looks Nigerian but not quite.

.

This man is Ugandan and does not look Nigerian:

hm, Ugandans generally don't look like Nigerians except for skin colour.

I'd say they look more like Caribbeans or vice versa.

Here's the curse, it's quite graphic, apologies:

You are a product of a cursed generation, none of your immediate family members within the younger age gap will live long to see 40 (and that's a generous cut off), considering that the benchmark for hitting that age is much lower. And in all that short and miserable life span so mercilessly wrought upon your family, shall be the cascading and ripple effect of plagues much worse than the plagues visited on Egypt, in the worst multiplier effect scenarios known and unknown . Your sisters and loved ones will be public cynosures of pity, sexual inappropriety, toture, lack of marital longevity, barreness and at every thresholds of hope - inevitable death.

Your brothers, I mean every male born in your family three shall hustle tire, but dem no go blow, poverty and stagnancy will dog all their paths, the best among the lot will be miserly beggars, and the worst among the lot will be as good as waking cadavers- mere humps of human worthlessness... Ain't no redemption, and then they will all die painful deaths respectively - without even coming any inch close to their hallmarks of dreams, and that includes you.

I'm Conclusion--As for your parents, those one are already earmarked for the worst types of downturns, to the status of beggars shall they be reduced, wrenched--scorned - derelict and cast aways among their kindred, your mum shall be struck down with a strange illness that defies all cure and respite, Pastors won't help... until she slowly and painfully metamorphosizes into a pathetic living vegetable, begrudged by many and rejected by all... As for your papa, well that one don already cast, he will be a paraplegic broken man, his senses dying away and his hopes completely crushed... Before he concedes to the call of death - death by a noose hastily fastened tight around his neck, in his final journey to hell.

@ topic

do people's curses affect destiny?

I just saw some blood curdling curses in politics section, I wondered if that energy affects folks' destinies?

A305:
You made sense with your analogy.

I'm ok with his opinion. Well thought out.
