Wonderful! Yoruba words for Christmas is now Igbo own. Keresimesi is Yoruba word for Christmas not Igbo owns it. By the way, the Yoruba greetings you wrote over there is a general greetings for festivities.

English - Yoruba
Christmas - Keresimesi

Thank you.

What you wrote up there is total balderdash!

Did you copy this from Google translate?

I'm Yoruba, and I tell you no yoruba person greets like that.

Ìrè tí ẹ̀dá ń gbogbo wa (Peace that surpasses all understanding). 😕 What does this even mean?

How is Keresimesi an igbo word?

Mods please put this post down.

Before diasporans trying to learn our languages start using this as a template
are u igbo to know what Christmas is called in igbo? The Op is correct - ekeresimesi. Similar to what hausa calls it.

EducationRe: I Am Not Taking This! My Baby Girl Deserves The 1st Position. 15as! by observanc1: 4:45pm On Dec 16, 2023
Josephamstrong1:
I don’t really understand some schools this days. My baby girl cleared all her subjects with distinction, all As and she was given 3rd position. She has been sobbing uncontrollably since yesterday. cry Yes, she was promised Christmas gifts and present if she takes first position in class this term.
I think she deserves the 1st position. I want to go to the school on Monday and appeal for result recheck. It can’t be!
I am not taking this o! My baby deserves 1st position with this result. cry cry
as you know your child's score, do u know the scores of the other children in her class?

Nairalanders oo!! Lots of us here are seriously crazy to d walls! What's all this heavy bashings and negative energy about over the daddy's contentions?WHY NOT just ASK 'DADDY' TO GO MAKE DUE ENQUIRIES AT D SCHOOL AND GET THINGS TRUELY RATIFIED IF THERE ARE VARIATIONS ? PLS LETS ENCOURAGE D FATHER TO DO D RIGHT THING RATHER THAN CHOKE HIM with all this negative vibes and jabs.My daugher in d senior class came home
with a result of this nature,i sense favoritism in d school which has always been the norms if you are in this schools with one major tribe from d same local govt.The fomer staff that left this office I am occupying told me about this same occurrence and situation my daughter found her self for almost 3years now.I saw lots of irregularity in the markings of her scripts but since I do not have full information on me and also been a stake holder in tbe teaching field with well over two decades experience, I just would keep calm about it.I have been to the school it self for like three times over plenty irregularities and PTA meetings and noticed that the best for my daughter is to relocate entirely out of this state since this same school boasts as d best in this LGA! So it is just best we stay calm untill she leaves this LGA ,ignoring them and the witch hunting and one sided favoritism. I ALSO ENCOURAGED MY DAUGHTER TO KEEP IT UP AND IGNORE THIER LOPSIDEDNESS, "WE WOULD BE FLYING AWAY FROM THIS STATE IN LIKE 6MONTHS OR LESS ", ' SO PLS TRY AND COPE while KEEPING AT YOUR BEST '.That was my candid advice to a lil bit worried but strong hearted daughter of mine.Let d father go and make out findings for him self then make good decisions let's not crucify d dad abeg.
what enquiries and ratification is he going to make in the school? Results are ratified by the school board before publishing and given to the pupils. And they scrutinise the results well and ask questions before approving because they know that some parents like the Op will come creating scenes.
In my children's school, the average score that comes 1st is usually from 96% +. Average of 91% in the school will come like 5th or 6th.
The child's report card was very good. Distinction. The Op should celebrate his child rather than threatening to go to the school and make a fool of himself or herself.

Nawa for this man o. You left your wife and children in Nigeria to suffer. You then went ahead to marry again abroad. grin instead of bringing your wife and kids to join you. Now I see where the problems came from
when asked if he had a wife and children, he said yes, an American. Down the line started talking about his 'Nigerian' wife. He was married here with 2 children, abandoned them and moved to UK. Rather than inviting them to UK, he moved to US and married americana. And that one has abandoned him.

If he can control Rivers State for 50 years bearing in mind that the state has numerous ethnic groups not homogeneous like Oyo State. He is Ikwerre, why would the Ijaws, Opobos, Kalabaris, Ndonis, Etches. Ogbas, Egbemas, Ogonis, Elemes, etc want to take directions from him?

PoliticsRe: Famous Buharist And Tinubu Supporter Posh Mama Is Dead. by observanc1:
Why she die now? She would have still remained alive until she sells all her family lands in ikorodu and epe to igbo men to develop, so she can use the money to buy pints of blood. And rent room from the igboman she detests. Then she will realise that igbos are landlords in lagos while migrant yorubas are tenants.

BY THE WAY, JUST TO REMIND YOU ALL...

THAT BLACK SKIN YOU HAVE IS CAUSED BY MELANIN, A CHEMICAL COMPOUND GOD INFUSED IN YOUR SKIN TO PROTECT YOU FROM VARIOUS SKIN CANCERS THAT WOULD HAVE WIPED OUT YOUR ANCESTORS HAD THEY BEEN 'WHITE PEOPLE' LIVING IN THE WORLD'S HOTTEST CONTINENT.

SO WITHOUT THAT BLACK SKIN, YOU WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TODAY, AS YOUR ANCESTORS WOULD HAVE PERISHED THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO IN THE AFRICAN SUN.

CHEW ON THAT NEXT TIME YOU SAY YOU ''HATE YOUR BLACK SKIN''.
