BankeSmalls: Not when the poorest trader in SW makes 100 times what this poor farmer makes in one day. Trading has helped Igbos a lot to lift them from abject poverty. All over Nigeria, be it SW, SE and North, smallholder farmers remain the poorest of the lot. There are less exclusively smallholder farmers in Igboland than elsewhere in Nigeria. 1 Like |

gidgiddy: Your are right and the responses I see attacking you bears out that your assumption is correct that most don't know what Chineke means. Chineke does not translate to God. Chineke means ''God creates'' (Chukwu neke). The name of God in Igbo should be Chukwu and not Chineke. 2 Likes |

T9ksy: Jonas is a ''linguist'' in English and Igbo (and most likely Yoruba too). Ajayi was only a linguist in English. Of course, I believe Ajayi spoke/wrote Yoruba in addition to English. But the main subject of interest here is Igbo, which Ajayi did not speak nor write. It is very conceivable that Jonas also actually translated the materials from English to Igbo. If Ajayi could not speak Igbo, there was no way he could write in Igbo. I believe Jonas was not as educated a man as Crowther was; he probably only spoke and wrote in smattering English. Only educated and especially motivated folks think of writing a book. |

Leo3333: Is this 240K per month or per annum? If per month I will advise you to stay back in Nigeria. If per annum (which is peanut, actually), it might be worth considering going for your MSc. Before you complete your UK program, start looking for PhD opportunity in the US or Canada or Australia. 1 Like |

stonemasonn: Ajayi was not a linguist (of Igbo), since he could not speak/write it himself. Do you at all know what a linguist means? There is no evidence that Ajayi spoke Igbo or even studied Igbo -which is how a linguist is defined, in this case. He was assisted to ONLY produce an Igbo book from English. He gets the credit, but not without also mentioning and crediting the interpreter (who actually is the linguist here). |

37. Bishop Ajayi Crowther, a Yoruba, in 1857 produced a reading book for the Igbo Language and a full grammar and vocabulary of NUPE in 1864.This is only partially correct. Ajayi Crowther worked with an Igbo (Igbo man named Jonas) interpreter for that project. Ajayi did not speak Igbo, so could not have ''produced'' an Igbo book from English language. He co-produced the book with the Igbo man. Did he try to take the glory alone and the falsehood is being perpetrated by Ngbatis (Afonjas)? 1856 == Crowther and Jonas stayed together in Lagos, where Jonas taught his master Igbo http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00fwp/igbo/igbohistory.html Note: both Crowther (of Yoruba descent) and Jonas (of Igbo descent) were ex-slaves from Sierra Leone, but Crowther became his ''master'' (whatever that meant at that time; I am guessing Ajayi was then a Bishop and Jonas was one of the young church workers under his tutelage). This matter was thrashed out here not too long ago https://www.nairaland.com/2938661/myth-debunked-samuel-crowthers-book |
Crime / Re: Gunmen Kill Nigerian Man In Mozambique, Steal His Money, Bury Him In Bush (Graph by omongbatim: 4:45pm On Feb 14, 2018 |
emmykey0128: Lol!! Good question. But Mozambique could actually be better than Nigeria, after all. And, I am not talking about national GDPs which is a fake measure of the wealth of a nation (of course Mozambique is a smaller economy than Nigeria). I am talking about micro economics and family economics and individual wellbeing. Between an Average (poor) Nigerian and an average (poor) Mozambican who is overall better (healthcare, schooling opportunities, savings, physical security, food security, nutrition security, welcoming and neat environment, etc)? Meanwhile, may the soul of the departed RIP. Amen |

All these poor salaries sef. N150,000K per month is = $428 per month. This is not up to the monthly salary of a Bugger flipper in the U.S. who would be considered poor. Yet, you see these Nigerian civil servants visiting the U.S. and spending dollars like no man's business. Where do they get the dollars from? STOP DECEIVING YOURSELVES, NIGERIANS. NO NIGERIAN CIVIL SERVANT DEPENDS ON THEIR SALARY. THEY ALL STEAL, LOOT AND PLUNDER YOUR COLLECTIVE NATIONAL INHERITANCE. 7 Likes |

This man should watch the Fulani around him. I know there are many migrant Foolanis in that area and they may have dropped some poison across the fence that killed the goats while they free ranged and the dogs while they licked the soil during patrol. The Fulani will do anything to hinder the growth of alternative animal husbandry in Nigeria. 2 Likes |
