@ Pagan I didnt know you were Maguzawa prior to this thread. |
How does another human beings opinion bother you? Does it prevent you from breathing? Every person is entitled to his or her own opinion. |
Kobojunkie:You know, youre replies arent needed. If someone fields an opinion thats different from yours just respect it. No need to blow steam and derail a thread by insults. |
America's Native population is on a decline. Very few still cling to the old ways, few practice Animism, intermarriage has complicated things, and very few can speak their native tongues. I'd be surprised if there were 1 million Natives in America. |
Cool down. Theres no such thing as pure-breed Hausa. The original Hausa people were based in Sokoto, Kano and some parts of Souther Niger. Their population grew in the same process that i explained to you earlier, or atleast thats what i think. Hausa is spoken by non-Hausas all throughout West Africa. Who knows, in a few centuries they too might be fully "Hausaized". But, i digress. |
O'boy Lagos is not the movie capital of Nigeria. Most Nollywood films are shot in Enugu. I won't bother discussing in this thread. I just wanted to point that out. |
Natasha,,:Naija heat get cool after effect, here it's either too hot or too cold with rainy days in-between. man I wish I was in Naija now, you don't know how lucky you are ![]() I know what you mean, everyone needs a fresh start. Btw happy birthday in advanced My dear, you no know me . I have to take you out one day and show you how we party for Yankee ![]() |
Its $1Billion USD each, look it up. Richfella:Israel's population isn't up to 10 million, so how do they have 13 million adults? About Nigeria, that amount is only the amount of active military personnel. Nigeria has hundreds of thousands of reserves and if necessary can draft up to 90 million males (if they can be fed,trained,armed) and females. Egypt or Ethiopa have at most 20-30 million males each. Egypt has a limited amount of troops because Islam has certain regulations with women in the military. But despite this Nigerias military is the largest in Africa. kodewrita: |
@ Andreh Uweh that is the Aro version of the war dance. It's the same as the Ohafia one but the only difference is the wrapper, in the Arochukwu one the warriors wear Omu Aro. Arochukwu adopted it from Ohafia since in the olden days, both of them were close allies. @ Ify Ndi Aro di egwu ![]() |
^^^^ You werent always Hausa you know. Your people might have been part of the Kanem Borno empire and migrated to Hausaland for several reasons. Islam has nothing to do with this. The majority of Hausas were Animists until Usman Dan Fodio launched his Jihad in the 1800s. Before then, only Hausa elite (kings, nobles, and the rich) practiced Islam. It's highly possible that your people might have migrated to Hausaland after it's Islamatization explaining why you aren't muslim. Also, Islam doesnt preach forceful conversion so your ancestors might have chosen to remain animists. Generally the benefit of being a Muslim was exemption from taxes. But Pleeps right, more than Half of the now "Hausa" people weren't originally Hausa. |
Okoro2015:Ok, no problem. @Nayah Odikwa nma na eba. Giwa Kwan? |
I am a spectator and etc? Why couldnt you take your own advice in Nigeria and stop being a spectator and take control of your own future? Is it my problem what you speak? And how am I an imposter? You can speak Yiddish if you like but it still drops to bare basics, you either have your culture with you ro you dont. Implementing foreign languages as an excuse for ethnic ulture doesnt cut it. mr sirdam: |
hakunajay:Cupboard is "Okpo ekunmiri" literally, cup box. |
Okoro2015:It sounds fine, but you know Igbo, long things will always be shortened. As for video recorder which you said was "Igwe Onyonyoo", what is onyonyoo? If i were asked to provide one, Id say "igwe nseta" |
Somehow I knew you'd be the first to comment on this. ![]() ALso, do you know where I can get an mp3 version of that song? Achorom igeya na ipod'm. |
pleep: ![]() |
@Pleep LOL, yes I was there already. ![]() But I agree that the Ibibio, Efik and Annang can be the same. Their languages are slightly different and their culture is also similar. Yeah, its unfortunate that Pagan had to find out the hard way. Who knows what his ethnicity might have been before the pre-Hausa days. And how many ethnicites Nigeria might have had if these three different groups didnt unite so many different peoples? Maybe 1000+? |
pleep:Im sure thats only active duty servicemen/servicewomen. Every country has a small amount of active duty but larger reserves. Nigeria can have asily 500k reserves. pleep:The only nation that uses f22s are the USA and at 1Billion USD each, hardly anyone else can afford them. Besides the f22, the US's main jets are f-18s and I dont think they're ready to give those away just yet. So F16 will be flown for some more time. @ Βουκέφαλος Good to know. Thanks again. |
![]() I dont think this amount will be enough = I definately need more you cheapskate. Ill call you back = Im not calling you/testing you to see your determination. |
Really? Wow, I hadnt noticed. Iwas going on my previous knowledge because i thought the US always supported Israel over Egypt and sent Israel F-16s, so what good would it make if both of them flew the same planes? Well thanks for the correction, ill look into it. |
Yinkay:Nigeria has Africa's largest military in terms of "numbers". Egypt is arguably Africa's most experienced, and advanced military. Nigeria flies mig-21s, has virtually no heavy or medium tanks, but does have an exceptional air-defence organisation (SAMs, anti-aircraft airtillery etc). Egypt flies Mig-29s and Sukhois, uses T-72s (whhich arent that great but are superior to Nigerian light-tanks) and has an excpetional air-defence sytsem like Nigeria. |
@ OP: The British Empire expanded for several reasons. The main reason was its navy. from 1588 to 1945, Britain had the worlds largest and strongest navy. The main purpose of the navy was to protect the British isles for invasion and also to further the interests of the British crown. Britian did not bother maintaining a large army becuase it had a small population and was an island. The British were notorious for using foreign troops. All throughout the 18th and 19th century, the British used Hessian mercenaries (Prussian troops) as the backbone of their foreign military force and by the time they conquered Mughal India, Indian troops ebcame the main soldiers of Britain outside Europe and teh Americas. Britain, with its strong navy and large reserve of Indian troops, came to dominate over 400 million people at its height in the Victorian era. Britains navy did not invest much in aircraft carriers and relied on battleships and cruisers in the second world war, which eventually caused the decline of its naval presence on earth. And as India gained independence in 1947, the brightest days of the British empire were foever gone. |
I guess you can say Im an American. Im in the USA but i wasnt born here But about that I'd rather not say lol ![]() |
Kobojunkie:Bros, cool down. I didnt make this thread for people to fight among themselves. Try to restrain yourself from aggressive feedback. If this is the way you respond when someone doesnt agree with you online, I wonder how you react in real life? ![]() |
That sucks mate. Man, I attended the party of my life on Saturday ![]() |
^^ You should encourage her. Shes not even a Nigerian and shes trying to speak Igbo ![]() Heres another one. Television "Olenuwa" meaning seeing the things in the world. What do you think? |
So how was everyones weekend? |
A.D.M.:In that period, American blacks were called Negros or "coloured".Im sure they were happy to be called "black" instead of "negro" BABE!:You're right. I'm just happy to see that Im not the only one who sees this type of form a form of disrespect. |
July 23rd was an exciting and fun-filled day for both the attendants and hosts of an Aro-Okigbo event in NY, USA. At this event, hundreds of guests from all over America and Igboland contributed to what is called "the hottest dance of the year" and some stumbled into Nollywood stars Desmond Elliot and Innocence. Both of these guests had made their unnancounced debut at the event to support Igbo culture, and the Arochukwu people in diaspora. Although, Desmond Elliot mysteriously slipped away a few hours into the event, the atmosphere was still very lively with dance and merriments, and the famous Aro-Ohafia War dance. ![]() Here are some shots of the event:
