technicallyrich: Is it true that been gay can lead to these. Or can it be contacted as an std.i will like to know. Rough sex, so yes. What mostly causes it is constipation; when the body is dehydrated, it draws the water in whatever food such a person has consumed, leaving a very dry food in the intestine, which does not help proper bowel movememt. While passing the very hard stool now, it pushes out the pile. If it happens for a few times, it controls itself and goes back in. But once it's too much, it becomes uncontrollable, and thus becoming a problem. So, imagine the movement of the penis in the anus, it can result to pile. Also, sugar does not necessarily cause pile. As a matter of fact, it is also hereditary, just like diabetes. But too much consumption of foods that dehydrates the body, like soft drinks, tea, anything made of flour, solid foods, and too much consumption of carbohydrates, can cause it. The key solution is to eat much vegetables, fruits that enriches the bacterias that soften stool in the stomach, constant water intake, plus lesser intake of those above listed foods. Additionally, ensure that you exercise or walk for about 30mins daily. |

Hmmm.... This is deep. Absolutesuccess also mentioned something about 'Moses and the burning bush and yet not consumed' present in Ifa. This is another revelation. Makes sense when it was said in the book of John in the Bible that "In the beginning was the word...." and in Ifa, ela means 'word'. Pastors do say the 'word' in that context means 'jesus', now this Ifa verse explains it better. |

Sarahlee1996: I've really enjoyed this communication. I have been on sites looking for answers, because I have been involved with a Nigerian from Lagos and yes we met online 4 years ago. I probably spent close to 7/8 thousand dollars trying to get him here in the U.S, and putting food on his table paying his rent, putting clothes and shoes on his back keeping his appearance up like clock work helped his family out. Don't know how many times I done that. We are extremely in love with each other. Got scammed twice trying to get him from Nigeria. Now that I am doing my research and won't give him $2000 to leave Nigeria to go work in another country he has been cursing me out disrespecting me, hardly communicates with me. I have to save money all over again to come to Nigeria $3000 plus take care of things on my end. He told me his priority was to survive and not marry me anymore because I would not come up with the money for him to go to another country close to Africa for him to work. Went on visa journey and a few people were helpful said the only way for the two of you to get married is me coming to Nigeria and I advised him from the very beginning but he wanted to be a man and handle it and lost $3000+. In the beginning I was his Queen, his world, his wifey, his baby, my love ,my everything, my pillar, best friend love of my life... Now he doesn't tell me those things. I let him know I can't support you anymore since I have to survive on my end plus save up for me to come another $3000 to $4000 funny I was his everything while dishing out money now he barely speaks to me of course I am hurt don't know how many times I've cried over this and still do. And from what I been told he could never help financially because they don't make the money over there. I would love some feedback I don't understand his behavior. You've been scammed. Although this can happen anywhere and from anyone. A guy you see on a daily basis might decide to be lazy and feed on you since you took it upon yourself to provide for him. Stay away from him, I believe you have done so. |

fairfora: crossriverians( who migrated from Cameroon) used to kill twins, not the igbo. We pronounce twins ibeji while igbos call it ejima in fact in Ekiti, it's called eji( removing the "ma" from the igbo word), drug as Oogun while igbo pronounce it ogwu( adding a "w" to theirs), cat- olongbo while they call their nwologbo, etc. As people migrated in those days, they mixed with people from other tribes and tongues changed with time. If you emigrate to America for instance in the present day generation, give birth there and your kids grow up there, their tongues would change completely and that's why way it happened in those days . I may reason differently but I have my points. The west keep saying Africans don't know their history simply because our leaders are fond of distorting our rich history with bias and ethnic bigotry. Those words I believe found their ways into the igbo lexicon through the igalas who had contact with both tribes. Igbo and yoruba never had any contact in the past. Albeit, the igalas did, and the igala language can be classified as yoruboid, cause it sounds so similar to Eastern yoruba dialects. |

AbaLion: The late Oba Sijuade Okunade would be turning in his grave at the level of ridicule his son is making out of the great stool of Yoruba ancestry, by extension, the larger Yoruba nation. How can a sitting Ooni could have been bereft of basic historical knowledge, so much ridiculously so he would confuse "the people of Ugbo" with "the Igbos ".. By the degree of his careless talks, the Benin minnows and the noisy waifs and strays ibo refugees are shamefully seeking relevance off the Yoruba's well documented & incontrovertible historical accounts. It's a pity that those whose origin are much in doubt and still very much unknown, are trying to cash in on Ooni's gullibility..
Needless to say, that the throne is way bigger and much heavier than the young crown prince. He should retrace his steps forthwith else the gods of our land revolt against him. *spits.

fairfora: Now, let me explain in a simple terms so you'd understand my brain...when you go to ilesha as a foreigner, wouldn't you meet people already living in ilesha? That's same way we learnt oduduwa met people when he got to ile ife...those people he met and conquered, what happened to them and why weren't they mentioned till today in out book of history? Oga you know nothing about yoruba history. Not all Yorubas are descendants of oduduwa. He never founded shit. As a matter of fact, his sons never did as well, they were only welcomed into some communities and made kings. Ask yourself, if they truly founded where they were crowned king, why don't we all speak the same dialect? As for those people oduduwa conquered, go and read about the ugbo people of ilaje, the descendants of obatala, then will you be enlightened. |

Why was dbanj making millions then? Because of his look and charisma, something Peter brings to psquare. I liked Paul more than Peter because I've always suspected Paul sings more, and wondered why people (especially ladies) mostly scream 'the one with lowcut', just because of dance and look. It was later I got to realise that look and charisma got a whole lot to add to business, especially showbiz. |

I'm a fan of rap music, so there was this Facebook page I joined some years back, it was for one hip hop website (hiphopdx or something like that). AA dominated the page, plus few Africans like myself. Anytime we try to argue about a rapper or rap song, the mean comments we often get from those guys were too much, to the extent that I had to quit following the page. Don't get me wrong, I also met few awesome AAs through that page, and they are the few that always try to caution those guys. Do you still need more proof? |

[quote author=khiaa post=77784280][/quote]You as a person may not be doing that, but believe me, most times, anytime an argument ensues between an African and AA, the next thing you read is 'crawl back to your cave' and so on.
My opinion on the subject of topic is, if you accept a particular attribute and wear it like an armour, nobody will be able to use it against you. That is your root, no man can live without being reminded of his/her root, it means you are not yet living. Accept the fact, and you will stop seeing it as an insult. The more you kick against it, the more they use as a psychological weapon against you. Plus, the whites should be the ones keeping it as secret because it tells of their evil nature if they could treat humans in such a wicked manner. |

khiaa: You don't even make sense. What Africans live in a cave? Stop making up crap. It cannot make sense to you cause you have no brain to comprehend what makes sense or doesn't. I have seen several AA call Africans cavemen, especially on social media. I have experienced this. Another instance is when J. Cole came to Nigeria. A video of Nigerians singing along with him when he was performing on stage was released to the social media, some AA that saw the video started making comments like 'they even use iPhones when they can't afford to buy shoes', 'look they're singing cole's song' and more demeaning comments. Also, so many Africans have complained about the condescending ways they were treated by AA in the US. There are threads on this site to corroborate my claims. I'm not justifying racism they're suffering, but they also look down on set of people whom they share same skin colour with. Not all of them do, but most of them do. |
