ahnie:
Op I'm really insane!

Your post is offensive, kindly do not refer to me as insane.

That's so insulting.

Bible verses to check?

Everyone's analysis is interesting even if they sound like fictional versions of events.

I'll go through the thread at some point but whoever prefers not to see certain people there could open a new thread and specify who they want to post. Nigerians typically get very close minded at some point in their life journey, they dont want to interact with other people, it stresses them (or vice versa).

I dont know why using the report button is a problem.

TAO11:
I share almost all my posts for easy access by others whom it may interest.

And I guess someone is always on standby to like them and obviously for good reason.

But I did not address the issue at hand here at all.

Good luck to me!

You can stop responding to my posts and focus on your fans.

Your cheesiness irks me somewhat.

Olu317:
My dear brother, you didn't criticised my post enough because my Aro does not have diacritic. . It seems you see me as someone whose interest is to rubbish Yoruba people greatness,which many people do. Far from it because

Interestingly , my purpose is to position Yoruba land as the land of Orisha, religious land etc. In fact,when I am at convenience, I shall post Aro in 1911 dictionary with diacritic. By then ,I put your criticism in the cooler.

Are you Yoruba?


My comments are not "criticism" but letting you know you are in error. Learning is a continuous process, you might be unaware of that and should be grateful when you see how you can improve.

Yorubas are where they are today because they knew the value of improvement instead of stagnancy.

Once again, morning is Aaro, not Aro which refers to mental illness.

You almost seem to be making a mockery of Yoruba.

lasmile:
We don't want to be there when the world war 3 will happen. The gods has revealed this.

Ok

I'd say clickbait or whatever applies (maybe post bait or read bait).

You read or comment, you are in trouble. Nlers and cho cho cho

itsme01:



Average Nigerians would raise atleast 10k USD on their own to travel something punk ass americans cant raise without loan
..

It's amazing how much money is available to help Nigerians travel.

PlaysNigeria:
All of them haff turn to marlians,

Are you saying nairamarley has made Nigeria more interesting for Nigerians so they reduced the constant need to travel out?

Wonderful, and to think I am not his fan.

iPrevail:
The kind of thread you open when I just finished smoking two wraps of the dopest joint

this?

cbrass:
(12 True Facts You Have Never Heard About The Yoruba Nation)

I didn't comment on your post because I assumed you were either in jest or would correct yourself at some point.

In addition (@ discussion)

Eku is a Yoruba greeting which when transliterated, could be mistaken to mean you die, but that's not it's actual meaning.

It could also be a derivative of the word Ekun referring to leopard, if we're looking at possible sources of the expression.

This is not a debate about loan or root words please.

Olu317:
Yoruba's Kutu is also shared lexicon with Ancient Egypt. Perhaps, loaned into Yoruba language. This is because, the ancient Egypt's,‘Kut', is transliterate and translated as ‘sunrise' in English language and Yoruba's ‘Kutu' is mostly translated as,‘ morning' or ‘ rise of day light.' At times, to convey how early the period is,Yoruba say, kutu+kutu{ very early in the morning}

The reason I digress a bit about Kutu is that, Yoruba says, Aro kutu or Aro kutu+kutu. I find it shocking because of the use of two synonym. Aro is early morning so also is Kutu is also early morning. You can get my grip on this from, ‘Ecology of Language by Einar Haugen', to understand my point . So,also if you can get more knowledge on Ancient Semitic language, then you will see my position on the ancient speakers of Yoruba language and place of origin.

Early morning is Aaro, not aro.

Aro is mental illness and is not a Yoruba word.

Seriously, these are basic Yoruba semantics, why is it you discuss Yoruba language on many threads but seem to be unaware of some simplest things? Just wondering, could you give a clue?

TAO11:
Smiles.

Thanks for merely been repititive without any argument, evidence, proof, or reason to butress your claim.

Cheers!

Reduce your overly sentimental postings, it's not necessary.

Excessive use of emoticons, using words like "remain calm", "smiles", "cheers", etc during serious discussions, is silly. You seem excitable, perhaps that's your nature.

Are you upset? I know Nigerians generally do not like it when they are not flattered.

Also, are you liking and sharing your posts as another id or someone is on standby to do that?

Since Adam and Eve remained alive after God told them they would surely die if they ate the fruit (they actually lived longer than almost everybody after them), what exactly can we infer from the story? I would like people's opinions.

budaatum:
And when was that time going to be?

Now, I hope.

Of the date and time, no one knows.

Personally, I know practically nobody who is qualified to judge any other being. Although Nigerians like to believe they are holy enough but nah.

Broadcasting other people's sins do not make you a saint. We tend to be confused here.

Nigerians and anything relationship/marriage.

We are too obsessed, I wish that energy could be chanelled towards development.

Temporary lull if any.

Nigerians be waiting like, on your mark, set, just say when so we can go!

And bam! they've arrived.

Abfinest007:
are we jambite

Men seem to be in short supply even though we see premarital and wedding pictures almost every week.

This means some women might be finding it difficult to locate husbands for themselves. Especially given the number of bachelors who fiercely defend their single status and do not want to marry.

In case some did not understand the topic, what I am asking is how much is too much effort when a woman is looking for a husband.

Please post reasonable responses, somebody might need them.

@ topic and posters

the thread title did not mention any moniker, it's interesting you decided to make it about me.

Shibaraba:
Expect more of these questions in a few years.

omg.

What do you mean btw.

If you are referring to your expectation I would be single and destitute and in your opinion, desperately searching for a husband, all I can say is wow. That's wicked.

How can we reduce nairalanders obsession with some wives?

sleekbae:
Stop saying what you don't know with so much authority Oga. There is a woman who was once a neighbor to my family. She never fails to brag how she has eaten a human before. She said it was during a war and there was nothing to eat so their community cooked and eat the meat of some notoriously bad people in the community. She said her community still practices it.

I see you did not specify a tribe nor which war.

masseratti:
common.. You ve answered yourself, "during the war" if you can comprehend well i said in this modern day Nigeria, of course during war times till now cannibalism is expected/happens that's an exception.

S/he actually said "during a war"

Thread title and op content modified to reflect the internet , not google only.

Google generation came to mind because someone referred me to google translate as a mainstream research tool for analyzing Yoruba language.

I dont even know how to express myself, sef.

budaatum:
"Following after them", I said. The children of the "younger than 50".

Not all are children.

Some do not have the expected age appropriate maturity due to their circumstances .

Naija google generation is not between 0 to 14.

They are mostly quite older than that but younger than 50.

They do not have the maturity associated with processing the amounts of information they obtain.

Marriage should just be abolished in Nigeria, we cant continue deceiving ourselves.

TAO11:
Olu317, Yes "Kootu-Ojire is also correct.

But what I often have issues with regarding discourse like this is the oft-repeated dichotomous idea and impression that one must be false because the other is true.

No! Why can't both be true? There isn't one Yoruba language afterall. There is a variety of the Yoruba language. They are called dialects. All legitimate.

"Kaaro-Ojire" is also correct and widely used among diverse Yoruba subgroups. And "KAARO" is not a "bastardization" bro. Elisions and contractions are essential and natural parts of All SPOKEN languages.

The technical Yoruba term in academia is "ÌPAJẸ Ọ̀RỌ̀".

It is perfectly legit Yoruba to SPEAK (or even write) of the "KING's WIFE" as "AYABA".

Cheers!

King's wife is Olori.


Ayaba refers to a biblical context.

What exactly are you folks doing that you need nairaland for? Who is your misinformation directed at, I mean which country or countries nationals?

cbrass:
If i tell you I am not some one you can argue with, I know what I am saying. The original pronunciation is Kootu and not Kaaro.. Eku Aro is the right pronunciation and not Ekaaro. These were bastardization of Yoruba words. Why did you think the Portuguese called us the *Ku* people.

The Portuguese never called Yorubas ku people.

Some Yorubas were referred to as Eku due to their greeting patterns which extensively say aku.

Ku means die.

Eku is a greeting which sounds like you die but it actually means are you enjoying, or enjoy.
