NnamdiN:
D only help I can offer is to tell u dat d amount u'll use in repairing dat stuff will buy u another china phone.

@poster, E what again , stay away from the Chinese for now mahn

mindthing:
@Emmyk: Simply put, considering the abysmal grammatical attempt you just made (and it was the first post too!) im damn glad you didnt get that Credit, cos that would have shamed our already ludicrous grading system beyond measure. You need more tutelage from your dad, dude, hehe



Now to the issue, it is obviously the students' fault. Not blackberry. Not EPL. And definitely not the examination bodies. This is merely a matter of standards and reasoning, and a good pointer is that not only Nigerian students take these exams, but they put up the most dismal performances. Nigerian students should read more and sleep/play less. End of story.

ajetii:
haha!
He is only a student who just failed an examination. Don´t be too hard on him.

clmao!

darn!

texazzpete:

We have racists here by the bucketful on Nairaland. Ethnic bigots number in the tens here, if not hundreds.

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=542661.msg7424303#msg7424303 date=1293573726]The Wikipedia entry for "Nanny the Maroon" actually said "The Maroons mainly consisted of people from the Akan region of West Africa. The Ashante tribe, from which Nanny came"

Otumfour, I suspect "Nanny" is a corrupted form of the Akan/Ashanti name "Nana" or what do you think?

MzDarkskin's post Reminds me of Wole Soyinka's tale about his search for an old lady who kept memories and stories of her family history from Africa. Soyinka went searching after he learnt about and her village in the Jamaican hill settlement of Bekuta (Soyinka belived it was named after his birth-city Abeokuta)

In his book You Must Set Forth at Dawn, Soyinka wrote that the lady was long dead by the time he got there and the village over grown with weed, her family only had a faint memory of her stories.

Soyinka said he spoke with the grand-daughter who said but "no one pay much time for that Africa foolishness. She only keep all that in she head, so when she gone, no one pay any mind to such things"

Wole Soyinka wrote that he felt "gutted" after hearing that.[/quote]am very sure on this 1 bruv, the Nanny is surely Nana
Nana has 2 meanings in Akan-Ashanti, NANA= A KING & NANA= GRAND PARENTS, I even refer to my Granny as NANA

tht Soyinka piece is really interesting, wow! am loving this thread mahn

MzDarkSkin:
CONTINUED: Religion in Jamaica is also like the Americas but we are mostly a Catholic/Christian island, though there are Muslims, Rastafarians ;etc.
Voodoo or Obeah as we call it is widely practiced and plays a major role in our OVERLY superstitious culture.
We have Kumina (from our Congolese ancestors) and Junkunu (our west African ancestors) festivals too.

hmmmm. . .and the Maroons (descendants of Jamaica's first African and freed slaves) basically hold the key to our culture, they even speak
African dialects and raw patois that the "city-fied" lol dwellers at times do not understand. This is because they usually do not leave their villages or allow city dwelling Jamaicans to enter and they refuse modern technology or influence. Some of them are so cultured some historians can even identify where in Africa they came from or at least influenced them, but there are SOOO many different Maroon clans throughout Jamaica, they are not all the same. My family are Maroons from St. Catherine, but we are watered down 

Jamaica is complex but very interesting. Our national hero is Nanny who was born in Ghana along with her brothers Accompong and Cudjoe, who fought against both the Spanish and English (I think only the English though). Nanny was so untouchable that the English had to appraoch her on several occasions begging for a treaty lol no wonder our women are so hard lol. Anyway she and our other heroes in Jamaica formed and were part of the Maroon culture that shaped our religion and culture as a whole in Jamaica.

these 2 names, Accompong and Cudjoe
the Accompong sounds like the Ghanaian name >>Acheampong-an ASHANTI name
and CUDJOE is a Ghanaian name as well, Cudjoe is the name given to a Monday born in Ghana
In Ghana, we have names for all the 7 days, so a child is named after the day he/she was born,we call them house hold names

MALE
MONDAY- CUDJOE/KUDJOE
TUESDAY- KWABENA
WEDNESDAY- KWEKU
THURSDAY- YAW
FRIDAY- KOFI
SATURDAY- KWAME
SUNDAY- KWESI

FEMALE
MONDAY- ADWOA
TUESDAY- ABENA
WEDNESDAY- AKUA
THURSDAY- YAA
FRIDAY- AFUA
SATURDAY- AMA
SUNDAY- AKOS

I say, this thread's been 1 of the best so far on Nairaland

^^ no need to add the canceled part to derail this very fine thread

Arsenal surely did their homework,
Still Chelsea 4life mayn, we'll surely come back

THE NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY PLAYER

It seems that Samsung is readying an answer to the iPod Touch which is scheduled to be announced at CES next week (yes, I can finally say next week). The device supposedly dubbed the Galaxy Player, will be very much like the Galaxy S we have all come to know quite well The Galaxy Player will feature a 1GHz processor, a 4- inch WVGA LCD display, SoundAlive audio enhancement technology, dual cameras, HD video playback support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and Froyo. Also the device is rumored to be coming in three flavors 8GB, 16GB and 32GB. Pricing and a release date is unknown at this point, but I’m sure we’ll be finding out in a few weeks

*pictures will be attached later
