Crime › Re: Husband And Wife Arrested And Arraigned For $8Million Scam In Lagos by Phut(f): 7:24pm On Nov 16, 2016

The alleged scam was for a little over $30,000.b(money to use register a company in Nigeria)

The company that was allegedly scammed, was hoping to get a contract which would net them $8,000,000 USD.

Why then does the thread title say the scam was $8 million USD.

Did the OP not bother reading his article before posting it, or is he intentionally seeking to mislead people. You know what they say, if you intend to keep something from certain people, hide it in the "pages" of a book.
Hmmm, LAZINESS IN HIGH PLACES

Thank you. Yes I am the creator and my company produces the show.

Would you consider including both Igbo and English subtitles? This would serve as an avenue for teaching young kids igbo or helping them improve their Igbo.

P.S I and understand Igbo.

The property's current value is assessed at about $3.8 million.
This property was bought 9 years ago during the recession. Property values have appreciated tremendously since then (especially in California).
I won't be surprised if he paid 1 million or less.

Sahara Reporters is intentionally being misleading. They could actually find the actual purchase price (which is a public record) and use that as part of their article, as opposed to using the current assessed value

You can call him:

LOL! Is arianna even a nigerian name. As far as I know, it's european, and any similarity with an Igbo name is coincidental.

You are wrong!
Do you even understand Igbo, for you to make the statement you made?
Arianna is a 100% Igbo name. It means Fathers prized possession.

The European name you are referring to is Ariana which has only one "N" as opposed to two. Nna in Igbo means father. Omit one "n" and it becomes meaningless

I translated from start to finish.

Girl is Sopuruchi. Kelechi is her brother.

Sopuruchi: Kelechi!! So you have broken my thing/toy?

Kelechi: Please, sorry. I didn't do it intentionally.

Sopuruchi: That is what you always say.

Kelechi: Don't be angry. Forgive me.

Father enters: What are you quarreling about?

Sopuruchi: Look at how he broke my thing.

Kelechi: I did tell her not to be angry.

Sopuruchi: That is what he always says.

Father: Okay guys, that's enough. Did you say Kelechi broke your thing?

Sopuruchi: That's not the only thing he did. He ate my ice cream, entered my room without my permission and scribbled all over my book.

Father: Sopuruchi, can you write down for me how many times you have done something wrong?

Sopuruchi: There was a time I forgot to tidy my clothes,I forgot to do my homework and I forgot to wash the dishes.

Father: Okay. It's not always easy to remember the things we do wrong. But the thing is, are you sorry?
Do you know what Jehovah does whenever we are sorry for our sins? He does what is written in Ephesians chapter ....God forgives us completely (kpam kpam). Sopuruchi, how do we show we have forgiven someone who hurt us?

But if a negative thread were opened about Igbo's, those same people would FORGET to come in and preach how we shouldn't look at things through ethnic lenses.

Education › Re: 5 Most Common Nigerian Pidgin English Words and their Origin by Phut(f): 6:25pm On Apr 19, 2016

GospelNaija:
* UNA: or Unu (Jamaican/Patwa/Patois)

Origin: Igbo

Etymology: Umunna, Nna

Meaning: (these/those) People

*Mama is not a Nigerian pidgin English word. Mama is local parlance in most regions for Mother. Something spelt as Momma, Mamma, Mom

* Knack is German. Meaning "low sounding blow"

Thanks

I think you meant to say Unu nwa, not Umunna. Unu = You all/You People. Nwa is just an intensifier, sometimes added for emphasis and sometimes left out.
Just like "Mu" = Me, but you can add Mu nwa for emphasis

Yes Una/Unu means You all in Igbo. The slaves took the word to Jamaica. So the origin is Igbo. Masseratti's post is a but confusing because he first attributes it to Patois and then states that the origin is Igbo. The origin is Igbo, plain and simple.

@Kelvin0: it's Una and not "Ina". It comes from the Igbo word Unu, which means, You People.

In fact Jamaicans use the word Unu (in its unadulterated form) to mean "You People." Vestiges of the slave trade

That is a whole lot of moving. They have been living an almost like nomads, and that can be unsettling for some people. Knowing that there is an end in sight, may make all the difference.

He should speak to her nicely, toast her into moving. No need for ghara ghara.

What are her fears? Is she worried that she won't be able to get a job or might end up with a lower paying job at the new location? All he has to do is loosen the purse strings that way she doesn't feel she has to beg for every little thing she wants to purchase.
Is she worried about moving the kids so much? He can convince her that this sacrifice will be beneficial to the whole family in the long run.

Everything is about manner of approach. Ghara ghara and ultimatums never got anyone, anywhere
