This is hilarious

we had a visitor at work today and I greeted him by saying
Welcome to Washington.
It was unbelievable
I apologised and told him my spirit was at the Inaugural in DC[/quote]Hehehehe. . . . . you know I had to show everybody up on the first day of school. I came in with my spray painted Obama shoes, my Obama shirt, my Obama sweat pants, and of course, my Obama hat. You know I was a show stoppa' today.

I doubt that would happen if she did a simple updo, oyinye

Drama Queen  

Remember when she wore that one dress early on in the running?? OMG. . . . . . folk was going nuts and crazy of it. As if she done committed murder. Talking about how she is this and that. These ppl truly have time.

osisi, abeg, remove am this weekend before your husband catches a whiff of it  

Bwahahahahaha. . . . . . . I hate weaves on my head. I can barely withstand ghana braids for two weeks.

But I personally like what Michelle was wearing. And we all know if she got her hair did, Ohhhhhhhhhh. . . . . watch tabloids explode saying

"Is Michelle bringing the ways of the streets to the white house?"
"Michelle Obama and her controversial hair do. Could this foreshadow the direction America will be heading? A more liberal America?"

Olodos.

I have lived in an area where there were man Black Americans. And well actually I really didn't see many people with so called "Ghetto Names". In fact some were better than the english names i saw Africans giving their children.

I would see maybe a few Shaniques and possibly Deshawn but all that crap and stereotypical names you wrote above were just out landish and ridiculous. If you want to make fun of names, why not go after celebs who name they child: Apple and Saffron.

ChinenyeN:
. . . well, at least you're not entirely giving up. That's a bit of a consolation for me. . . Also, if it's any consolation for you, I never really used to speak Igbo. I could say a few words and phrases (mainly "yes", "no", "it is/was [insert name here]" "hello", "sorry", etc. small things like that). But I never could hold a conversation until about 3+ years ago when I decided I'd pick up the language. So just have faith in yourself. If you say yes, your Chi will say yes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. . . . . but you probably had supportive and willing people to help you. I for one don't have anybody of humble persona to teach me.

ijeoma2619:
@onyinye yes igbo language is very hard to learn thats why when i find myself forgetting some words i quickly start speaking igbo to everybody because na by force for me. it is that serious. but its good you are making an attempt by visiting that site, goodluck

I need more than good luck, more like a miracle.

romeo:
@Onyinye

Learning igbo is not a "DO OR DIE AFFAIR". People in the forum can not help you when you are not asking for help, Igbo kwenu thread can help you a lot. Ikomi was speaking igbo language so badly when he started visiting the thread but with time he improved. Why can't you write the igbo language the best way u can and the corrections will follow? Don't just think without making efforts your igbo will just improve over night.

We made so much fun of ikomi and we even labeled his version of igbo "Ikomism" but he kept writing and he has improvd a lot. That's the spirit!!

Oka first off, you can't come and and assume that I don't put an effort into learning because I do. If i didn't the hell I would be even giving a damn. I would have just pushed this language aside and stuck with english and spanish. Second off, NO the Igbo thread can't help me because I don't read Igbo so going there is like sending a chinese person to some arabic thread and expecting them to grasp it. Don't act like I don't ask for help when clearly if you go back pages into the Igbo thread, I was. And what happened?? Not much that is what happened. And the kind of corrections yall do, aint even constructive more on the grounds of "Holier then Thou" attitude. Spirit ko, sprite ni.

afam4eva:
Just try speaking igbo to any Igbo person you come across.

Negative. You don't know the Igbo I know.

KarmaMod:
*waka* You think say Im like you Kayode, that like men who cant get jobs and have prison records starting from 11

When you sef you're barely Nigerian, why wont they be "delicious" to you. Olodo

There's one bothering me at work, if he doesnt stop I might have to put him up for harrassment. Eranko. *rolls eyes*

WHOA!!!!
I surely wasn't expecting that. Barely Nigerian you say?? Hmmmm. . . . . quite thought provoking.
Oka, I only dated AA men in high school because back than, I was only into athletes and they were athletic. So I went for them.
So you can kick rocks with out socks.
Onye iberibe dike gi.

Riskie:
Great I'm glad that it's working for you! I've had amazing results as well. I've made some changes to my regimen because I decided to go natural! Waiting a few more months to post progress pics. I never knew taking care of my hair would actually result in growth and super soft hair.

My hair really improved because most don't know I have natural hair because I get it pressed. So it looks like I have a relaxer. So my hair is really thick so getting moisture to it was very hard. So I tried what you said, and like my hair is growing alot more and looks so healthy. Good luck with your transition and keep the faith because it does get frustrating.

KarmaMod:
Never

LIAR!!!

I saw you last week with La'Deshawn oka.

@Topic
Of course I have. They are absolutely delicious.

Riskie:
LOL! Someone told me that. So I'm only saying what I was told.

Hey Riskie!!! I know this is off topic but I just wanted to say that I have been using your hair care regiment and my hair has grown two inches and it is so full and thick. Like I'm just loving it because I was having so much trouble with dandruff and I'm like "What should I do?" So I increased the moisture in my hair and it is just been heaven sent. Thanks.

HeatFusion:

Treetop20:

I got to go back to school and I can't mix pleasure with business.

Treetop20:

O di mma. Just enjoying my last two days here you know.
Oh yeah don't think I didn't see your comment on us Nigerian girls. agadi nwoke.

jalether:

I'm sorry sweetheart.
Could you do me a favor in explaining what this word means?
Thank You.

DaPhoenix:
Sweetie, you HAVE to be damn ugly to write as poor as he does lol. I proved that a long time ago.

Buahahahahaha. . . . . . this is just sad. I mean all this bashing from this guy all because of what?

HeatFusion:
"

Hey babes, how you dey?

Treetop20:
i have learnt something new today
only ugly men write incorrectly

Hey babes, kedu?

DaPhoenix, u herd wat he sayd. U r a arrogant bitch.  




Mayne it is hard to write with poor English skills.

DaPhoenix:
So why do you want your girl to go do plastic surgery so she can look like me?

DAMN. . . . . . and you say I'm mean?? SHEISH.

Yall aint following the rules. agadi umunwoke.

ibkaye:
1. I am lactose intolerant
2. I am allergic to peanuts
3. I have only been to Nigeria twice in my life

I believe this one is a lie. If memory befriends me, you said you have been to Nigeria Three times in the past.


1. I hate the taste of beef, pork, and veil.
2. I'm deeply afraid of clowns.
3. I love Krispy Kreme Donuts.

Chi-Babes. . . . . I will look into the site you know but I'm not making any promises. You know because to me Igbo will never be a language I will be fluent in. That is just it.

But you know I will work on it. Practice more. And maybe, just maybe actually allow a word to slip out my mouth.

No parties for me. I live around crazy rednecks.

ijeoma2619:
lol onyiye go learn how to speak igbo fast, its just a wonderful feeling being able to speak igbo and english, especially when you're in public and in the presence of americans u can easily make one quick statement in igbo to your friend if you don't want the others to understand no offense to the americans on this forum we love you all lol. I do that alot and its fantastic! lol. To me it is a gift that i will NEVER replace.

LMAO!!!! Yeah that is what I do sometimes cause like I know some phrases to say like when someone does something to offend me in Igbo and Yoruba. But for me to go right on ahead and continue a conversation with someone, I don't think so. Igbo is madd hard. And say that your accent and upbringings don't make a difference but it does. I can simulate an Igbo accent but to grasp is fully is a stretch.
