You are right. The one I saw live and direct.... Was the one a friend of mine put just one cup of rice and by the time to wash the rice it was almost 5 cups (in terms of quantity). I was the one that fetched the one cup from her neighbour since they were quarrelling. I sat there with her during the cooking. I remember when I wanted to lash her. She said na 4 people you wan lash o u get the strength. I fled

She was probably suicidal and y'all didn't notice.

Not that. Most of them just wanna feel normal and do normal things without putting much consideration on their health.

It's possible. I watched the whole of Money Heist season 4 in less than an hour. I didn't like that Tokyo and Rio because of their mumu love, plus I didn't really enjoy the Tokyo girl acting, so I do fast-forward any of their scenes and some other scenes that involves that Berlin's friend. In short, the season was now looking like bollywood movie. I do that to movies I don't find interesting or find predictable.

body image? at what age?
he was very conscious of it till he left the school. 6 years. no worry guys will understand this better

A friend of mine back in the boarding had a small dikk, he was mocked of it in his first few days in the school. Till he left in ss3, nobody see am baff again. So new students who later joined always consider him weird.

I'm the dude. I'll shake my padlock three times to make sure I lock it well. When I'm leaving a place; after packing my load very well, I'll start looking around for what I may forget and then I'll ask my host what did I forget.

It may not be trust issue. Its following up, an instinct I discovered in my university days.

Same with me. Everyone in the house knows me for that. When I was in the university, I never forget anything when going back to school. I pack my stuffs like a week to the travelling day.

Temidayo9:
also there are various degrees of blindness, some partially blind, and they could see faintly. Totally blind people tend to sit in one place.

Not all. Some blind people are just lazy to develop that sense of theirs. I once watched a program on the TV, a blind black dude who plays basketball. He wasn't born blind, but had a sickness at a tender age so his eyeballs had to be completely removed. This guy hardly use walking stick. He skates on a major road in between parked cars and could detect incoming vehicles and which direction its coming from. He knows where a building ends and where another begins. If taken to a new environment, he would know everywhere after 1 or 2 outings. Noone helps him around the house, he runs upstairs swiftly like someone that can see. I believe his clip should be on YouTube. He uses frequencies, air, body heats, counting etc to know all these things.

RIP to the death.

I'm telling you. Those leaders who contracted this same virus in the UK are recovering despite their old age, yet ordinary people are dying. Prince Charles recovered, their prime minister is now stable.

its Jekeli please am sorry ok dont just insult someone as this story is being told by the Attah of Igala and also an itsekiri historain was there to proove it at Attah palace last month ok

what i mean is itsekiri are from Igala first befofe attaching them with Yoruba

even the Yoruba self are from Benin fist you gat know how The name Oduduwa came to place that name was given to him by The Igalas , Oduduwa (Prince Ekaladeran) was a Benin prince who is a run away exile who ran throught the river niger to igala land when he settled in a place in Igala land called Ife and Marrying igala wives before he moved down to present place in Ife and that is how the yoruba race started .

so this is to show you how Igalas have made other races ok

then who are the itsekiri ? they were also shoot out from Jekeli later on after the yoruba race have started still like a mixture of Jekeli (Igala) and Yoruba ok that is itsekiri

so reason a bit and listen not arguing what you dont know

You these useless and petty Benin internet urchins. You fools just come up with different stories everyday, making mockery of your intelligence and that of people from that 5 local government town. Una matter Don tire me.

macof:


Right now on another thread I'm engaging 3 guys who insist Yoruba are semitic
Coming up with ideas like Aramean is Oranmiyan, Deborah is Ebora, Malaki and Ejilu (of the Ẹyọ origin story) are Malachi and Elijah

One thing I've come to realise is that Africans live with so much inferiority complex
You have seen it in the Binis on this forum
But I have seen it in our people too. I see it in African Americans almost daily

Inferiority complex is exposed in two forms
-aggression and resentment for a people who you consider but do not accept are superior to you. A constantly triggered defense mechanism is employed where you try to belittle the person to feel good about yourself
-dismissing your own identity or elements of it that you think make you inherently inferior for that of someone else you think superior

When I see Blacks who are ashamed of African origin but want to be anything else I am disgusted, because I can't even relate and for me I wonder why I would shun common sense and disregard evidence and studies for imaginations

As you've implied, any layman can come up with so called "language connections" all you need is imagination, that's even when you should be suspicious... That it's laymen without skills or particular knowledge that are coming up with such huge but easy "connections"
I mean who can't see how interestingly similar "Ebora" is to "Deborah" but how is this a valid connection?
You wouldn't know better than (historical) linguists, if it were so easy for any random person then these scholars are wasting their time

I was actually interested in that thread, at a point, I lost the interest due to some far reaching claims. Thread gradually started looking like a joke.

TAO11:


Thanks for your time bro. Those Binis are mere frustrated noise makers. And we all know the reason for their frustration. It's an open secret.

Yeah, I will read on the Kisra episode, I haven't began any serious reading on it yet.

However, there is quite concrete evidence on ground already --- regarding the North-Africa/NorthEast Africa connection --- which establishes fairly definitively that the direction of migration (of the civilization who made those monoliths) was upward, and not downward.

That day I was too tired to pursue the details of the proof and referencing for that point, in that same comment. Moreover, I was only about five words near the word limit for a Nairaland comment. I will definitely return to it in a separate comment.

Regarding the alleged similarity between "old Semitic" languages and Yoruba language:

I once passionately held the view of a similarity of languages which led me to the popular conclusion of direct causation. No, it's a big fallacy with tons of setback.

My fair reading on the subject has shown quite clearly that some words are bound to sound alike (and mean the same thing) in almost every two randomly selected languages.

A proefssor of Yoruba language or Yoruba history (I can't remeber which specifically at the moment) once went to teach in Japan. Guess what! He returned with many Japanese words which not only similar sounds as Yoruba words, but also have same meanings.

Iṣ(é) in Turkish also means work. Have you considered the English word Me and it Yoruba equivalent? Many more examples can be found in virtually all languages.

What do we then conclude from all these?:

That the Yoruba people are originally Japanese, Turkish, Anglo-Saxon, and many, many more all at the same time?

Or that this indeed corroborates the glottochonological linguistic view that all modern languages have evolved slowly over milleniums from few fairly mutually intelligible proto-languages?

Or that several of the observed similarities are in fact what linguists term accidental coincidences?

These last two cases obviously seem to be more tenable in contrast to the first which is extremely unlikely if not ridiculous.

So, the observed similarities with ancient "Semitic" (several of which are sheer exaggeration or outright falsehoods) are nothing unique.

In fact, you can make almost any word in a language sound like (and have some quite related meaning to) another word in another language.

It's all a function of your perfect ingenuity, strong imagination, and high intuition.

Those Binis are deluded actually.

Nothing of such actually happened, in any of those places, as they love to claim.

Spread the word: Bini Nairalanders are a bunch of diagnosed mythomaniacs!

Having spread that, you may like to see my comment at the link below. I recall we once discussed something like this:

Cheers!

They act like unleashed internet urchins, making dubious claims here and there.

As for your comment on the other thread, absolutely brilliant. I'd still want you to expand more on the Ethiopia angle though. Maybe research more on the claims of that friend of yours.

Also, how do you see the claim of similarity between yoruba language and old semitic language?

They should have closed the borders like two weeks ago! I suspect they didn’t because Kyari and other thieving, useless members of the elite, ruling gov’t and their spouses/children were yet to return to Nigeria....with their corona infested bodies!

Yes na. Buhari's daughter was yet to arrive the country then.

All these returning travellers self.

marianays:
Hello guys, please no insult.am just so confused on what to do.
I had this strong crush on a guy I met some months ago,we exchange numbers,I thought he was going to ask me out of,he just used to say hello,hi, how you doing bla bla bla.
After like 2months,I voice out o say guy I like you,I just can't keep it anymore to myself,when I told him,he told me I should give him some time that if he should jump into the relationship for now,he will just be fucking me with no feeling,but I should give him time to understand what's really going on.
I could notice in our conversation too on WhatsApp saying that girls has really bleeped him up big time well and he no dey love again,but he just did not want to take advantage of my feelings.

It's been going to 2weeks now that have told him o,still no response,if I call him,he go respond well, sometimes he go shout at times,he go even tell me say he get girl for house wey he dey Bleep make I call later,(whichwas true), etc.Hes not showing like he's going to say yes and am so crazily in love with him,I tried to forget him but am finding it difficult.please what should I do ??

Thanks.

Forget him. Some guys can be honest, and I believe he is one of them.

I once did same to a girl, even declined when she offered me her virginity. I noticed that she wasn't my type of girl (not that she wasn't pretty. Of course she was. Young and beautiful), but she's the type that demands attention, and I wasnt the type that gives that.

Also, she was moving with girls older than her, as she was fortunate to gain admission at a tender age of 17. Those her friends were already bleeping and keeping numerous boyfriends, and the pressure was on her to get hers. I discerned this and pitied her instead of taking advantage of her innocence.

At first, I tried to shield her, but when I saw that she was getting so in love, I had to leave her to learn the hard way. She cried for days, but I knew she would get over it. We still chat once in a while today, and I never regret my decision, because I knew we wouldn't last long together.

So, free the dude. Set your mind on something else. Give it time, and the feeling will die naturally. Don't hate him, rather appreciate him for his honesty. That's what we guys face with girls. If you force it too long, he will never appreciate you, and that would be heavy cross you would have to carry in the relationship. And that shi.t ain't easy to carry, because your case will be OYO.
