[quote author=some-girl link=topic=400813.msg8747900#msg8747900 date=1311095591]no such thing is fake or real igbo. If you speak any igbo dialect and bear an igbo name, you're igbo.[/quote]True but sometimes you ve got to let pple claim whatever they feel like cos no matter how you try, they have made up their mind and have passed it to other pple. For instance, I have seen Bamidele Ajayi, Kunbi Aladeloba from Edo (the Ajayi guy claims to be married to a Yoruba woman but each time I see the 2 of them, I smile). Then Omolade Alade, Opeyemi Omowa from itsekiri, just to mention a few. And going by names and language, itshekiri is just an arms distance from the Yorubas. Yet, nobody is draging with the other. Even if you drag this issue till eternity, those who will agree will and those who will deny it will deny it. Irrespective of where you belong, just do your best, leave foot prints and walk away. |
sugabelly:Lie a little bit. . .not too much You can never find a Femi turn Fee cos Femi had already been shortened from Obafemi, Adefemi, Oluwafemi to what it is. So, Fee or whatever, you will not find. Just passing by. . . . |
Later this boy will grow hardened |
Lets wait and see. . . .that is if they dont claim to have a closed door meeting at Abuja in the midnight and cancel the strike before 6am. Na today? |
werepeLeri:That is if they even release the fund. They just say it and it dies there. |
The picture alone is annoying and amazing |
This issue again? |
He did not promise a number of agenda but he promised to carry on with his late predecessor's agendas. . . is that not 7-point agenda? |
Hausa is very easy to learn. . . igbo is difficult |
Seun:Too many pple were complaining of his actions. Reason he stopped. By gbawe - Thank you !!! She is the worst example of a coward who shirks the responsibility of putting her money where her mouth is. Yet she wants to retain toxic and unreasonable pessimism plus the right to speak in a manner that shows she see nothing good in anything or anyone to do with Nigeria. That would be even semi acceptable if she were not such a coward who prefers to malign others constantly while not ready , even for one second, to inspect her own role or obligation - however miniscule.I knew this long time ago and stopped commenting on any of her posts. People who find no positive thing in others but have added no positive thing to their neighbours |
udezue:Which Yoruba pple do not want the country divided. . . and the ileke I know would split the nation herself if she has the power. Stop insinuating rubbish. |
Emmyk:Beeni, aye gba e |
Which Nigeria? Nigeria will exist in its history by then |
what!!! So sad |
You only read and heard about so many things in Nigeria and already want to be a citizen. . . interesting Pls come and be |
umechuma:Hmmn. . .Only in Nigeria |
Nigerians are the happiest pple on earth (http://thehappinessshow.com/HappiestCountries.htm) The most populous in Africa with about 250 ethnic groups (Although I disagree with the ethnic number cos most of them are dialects not languages) The entertainment industry The pple never give up. . .always adapting to situations Hardworking and smart working pple (first to rise, last to go to bed) |
Honestly. . .I have been thinking of what to say. Will come back. |
I am a Yoruba. . .dont understand what you mean by Nigeria or regional division |
@OP Just a quick one. . . . 1. Go for another test in two more hospitals. 2. You havent got AIDS, you 've got HIV! AIDS kills but HIV with an effective medication, positive thinking and living your life as it was before you discovered, you will live the VERY NUMBER OF YEARS you are meant to live on earth. I can prove this to you on one or two active and ever lively pple I know. Infact, HIV living persons are found in all organisations (only that few say it out). HIV does not kill, its the ignorance, fear and inferiority complex that kills! HIV only puts you in a careful status in your private life and between a group of pple. 3. Medication. . . Go for your medication and use it EFFECTIVELY Dont miss a dose and take your heath advise seriously Eat balance diet and avoid mosquito bites. Your retro-viral drugs will ensure the HIV does not develop to AIDS. So you are ok. 3. Build your faith. . . Nobody can build it for you except you! Fast and talk to God about it. Tell him to help your faith. Make a covenant with him concerning the healing (the covenant may only be a testimony or whatever your heart wishes). Keep telling him until it happens. A guy recently gave a testimony of his HIV healing, he discovered it when he wanted to donate blood for his relative. He recounted how he kept praying and talking to God (as if he sees him) in his own little way. He said he kept telling God to heal him even though he was newly born-again and wasnt familiar with the bible. Today, he has gone to several hospitals for a re-test and found negative! Please and please, its not the CHURCH that matters, but YOU! Your healing could come via devotion in your room. Just be persistent and be strong. 4. Confess positive status. . . Say to yourself, "I am getting better day-by-day". Say it and mean it. Get appropriate words from the bible for confession 5. Open up to your family. . . Yes, they will be disappointed and will almost give up on you. . .its normal. But your strength will be their strength and your faith will be their faith. If you look as though the world is on your head, they will start writing their will without your name but if you look and act strong, they will suddenly be strong and join you in prayers. Get up! Eat! Drink! And live! Dont let it stay on your mind for a minute. You are better than an hospitalised malaria patient whos live on the line. |
But the prob is with the ibos themselves and its only on NL that I see this disagreement. . . .Also, you should know that pple did not just wake up in the morning to call you whatever, but your pple called it for them the way they want to be called. Up till now, 60% of SE pple that I know say ibo at every conversation and I remember asking someone if it is ibo or igbo but he said the lang is igbo while the pple are ibo while another lady said vice versa. I have seen another who said both the lang and the pple are ibo/igbo, that the 'g' difference is only on the type of ibo dialect. Can anybody also remember a writer sometime on the dailies who claimed that they are ibos while their lang is igbo. So the education should be to the ibos then, correction and awareness to others. |
@poster In the link above, most of the pictures are of yoruba traditional wedding. And as for the bride kneeling to give her husband a drink. . . .it is done during the reception party. Thats when you are asked to show how you will care and feed your husband at home. |

violent:A year? Unrealistic! The coming generation would have met it there in naija. What about the benin-ore road that has been for a decade and countless of lives and properties have wasted there? You seem not to know your country well. |
