its not saidi balogun,`the bone of contention is raising your hand on a woman and pls get your English right

hello, you are new here . . .dont answer mr cork, that is his way of responses and writing skill

To all the ladies in the house if your man should beat you all you need to do is to go into the kitchen, find the biggest knife and insert it very deep into a non fatal part of his body ie his thigh, upper arm or face.

Beating / slapping women is for cowards and men who have inferiority complex and cant handle their anger. If a man is to beat me he has to make sure i die in the process otherwise th at fight wont finish. I will fight him with anything I find pots bottles pans knives etc.

And for the man that wants to slap me never in your life eat my food again o. That is why IBO husbands die young cos they dont stop beating their wives and as a favour the wife kills them since there is no divorce.

Some people will now turn around and say it is because he loves you; if he beats you cos he loves you what will he do if he hates you. My father through out when he was alive didnt beat me God help the man that does.

I remember the agony of going from Ijesha, Surulere to Cow Lane on Lagos Island to see my then girlfriend.

Only to found out that she too had already left for Ijesha to see me. We missed each other.

(Pls sorry for my mistakes, am not an english-speaking person)

I actually didnt see your english as being poor until you noted it. . .just keep improving yourself and you will do better. Many here and there born and bred in english speaking countries cant speak better, so you may not need to excuse yourself again so that you wont start feeling "english-inferior"

Tribal Marks is worrying Ibadan People. Their silly Alao Akala has done worst in that state. None of them fit front and shout at him. Dem mama want to make headline? Let them vote Akala out first.

GNBohr:
guddsid and aloy+emeka, your knowledge and understanding of yorubaland, its people, history, culture, traditions and religion practices are totally wrong and biased.

Just like the Europeans and Americans see Nigerians as corrupt, fraudulent, 419ers, tricksters, dupes, unreliable, drug-pushers, dishonest; and we all rise to say that is not true. Our reason - just because a few Nigerians commits these atrocities doesnt make all of us bad.

I dont know if you (guddsid/aloy+emeka) live in Europe, am sure you must have witnessed directly or indirectly the maltreatment of Nigerians as a result of this general misconceptions. I call it a misconception because am a Nigerian.

Just like you bring some references and data to buttress your argument on the Yoruba polygamous/divorce issue, so also abound research work and references, information and statistical data that establishes these misconceptions against the people of Nigeria. They never make these assertions right or correct.

Just like what the Europeans and Americans know about Nigerians are not totally true, what you people claim to know about Yorubas are very much misplaced. It is a fact that human being are deficient in their assessment and judgement of others because of prejudices, biases, misconceptions and ignorance. These human failings affect our world view, positions, principles, philosophies and hypotheses.

These human failings are so dominant in our psyche that it influences our decisions and policies. Among the igbos for instance, there are issues that separates them,  the Osu caste is an example. Ditto in other national ethnicities in Nigeria.

It is convenient to say that the Yorubas are bad in the way they organise and handle their affairs, family, religion, trade, profession, government, intra-tribal and inter-tribal relationships. It is also convenient to say that Igbos, Hausas, Itshekiris, Ijaws, Fulanis, Ibibios, Efiks, Isokos, Idomas, Junkuns, Tivs, Igalas, Tapas, Kanuris, etc are similarly bad in certain areas that they organise and handle their affairs, family, religion, trade, profession, government, intra-tribal and inter-tribal relationships.

There is no culture that is totally bad and there is no culture that is totally good. That is why social scientist proves that culture is dynamic and will keep evolving. I have many aspects of Yoruba, igbo, Hausa, Itshekiri, Ijaw, Fulani, Ibibio, Efik, Isoko, Idoma, Junkun, Tiv, Igala, Tapa, Kanuri, etc cultures as well of cultures of Europeans, Americans, Chinese, Indians, Malaysians, Arabs, Jews, etc.

How yorubas live now is not the same way they lived hundred years ago and will not live the way they are now a century from now. The problem I have with people like you two is that you use a microcosm as a macrocosm but the world and its people really are a spectrum.

In all how you see and understand a people is a function of the kind of interaction you have with some members of that group of people. I remember being told that Akan people eats human flesh and I was given loads of references and witnesses to convince me not to live amongst them or get too close in relationships with them. How indeed wrong that claim came out to be.

You cannot totally agree with some aspects of other people's culture just like others will not totally agree with your own people's culture. So enough of running other cultures down.

Wow! You are too much. . .well said from start to finish.

How did Tinubu, a COMPLETE fraud, become Yoruba Asiwaju?

You only registered last month, so you are still intoxicated with NL
By the time you have attained figure 45467673985790, you will retire and get nothing from Seun
I only pity your parents who keep paying for your GCE exams and complain of mass failure at the end of the day
All your posts should have been channeled towards getting informed and fulfill your destiny cos your rantings will only send you to a premature grave

I also pity Nigeria cos its worst is yet to come, her breeds are evidents

Yoruba language will never go to extinction. I know a lot people who are not even Yoruba, who speak the language more than their own self, especially the Edos, deltans! Here in the states I hear the Yoruba language more than any other naija language! Many of the nigerian speak Yoruba kids speak their language to their kids hear, but for some reason[b] many of us are used to speaking English[/b]. In which, that is the only thing parents need to in force their Americana or Londoner kids to speak their language!
