Family › Re: Every Family Must Have Only 1 Kid by Phut(f): 10:51pm On Dec 06, 2016
EZEIGBO1OFIMO:
I rest my case, "negative population is better"; tell that to Japan trying to prop up consumer spending and buying back Government bond stupendously while tending to negative yields; negative population doesn't help a 21st century capitalist society, the invisible hand of Darwin is waiting to another the human population again. The again you continuously measure wealth by fiat currency; should all the fishes in the river die and all the water contaminated would you realize that paper money is an illusion. Africa has vast land and resources, and the last thing we need is population control, we need science, technology, equitable distribution of resources and wealth, a better philosophical society, and not population control.
I totally agree with you.
We do not need population control.
The greatest resource of a country is not oil, gold etc, but the UNLIMITLESS POTENTIAL OF THE HUMAN MIND. What we need is a reorientation of the Nigerian's mindset.
More people should go back to the land. No person should graduate and sit home looking for a job for a gazillion years. They should go and farm, even if on a small scale (for self sustenance). Before colonialism, large families worked the land and fed themselves, but now everybody is waiting for Oru Oyibo, excessively dependent on paper money, while wringing their hands "helplessly".
Verily, I say onto you, that even if the population of Nigeria is reduced by half, but the mindset is not changed, the problem will remain the same.
So no, population control is not the answer
Family › Re: Help! My Friend Is In A Fix... by Phut(f): 3:26am On Dec 06, 2016
janefrancisca:
This is my first time of creating a topic on nairaland...so pardon my little flaws. a friend of mine is avin issues in her matrimonial home and her husband is insisting he will take away their little son who is just a year and three months from d mum and keep him in d village wit his mum who is down with partial stroke and his elder sis who is in her late 50s and unmarried in the village. Now my friend is insisting that she must go wit her baby and she is pregnant wit d second child whom the husband is saying he is not the father. Since my friend got married to the man, it has been from one problem to anoda. Most times he goes out without dropping food money for her and her baby and wen she complains, he will tel her to go and meet her wealthy father and if she insists on collecting d money, the next thing he does is to beat her up. Anytime she visits her parents and comes home, he will pick a fight wit her and tell her d worst her father can do is to lock him up. He calls her a prostitute and says all kind of demeaning words to her. Two months ago, she called and said she is fed up but I begged her to just tolerate. Today the husband called her and said he is fed up that they shud both part ways but he is leaving with his son and my friend is saying she will never leave her son...wot advice do I give my friend? plz ur contributions are needed urgently.
Two months ago she told you she was fed up and you asked Her to tolerate. Tolerate gini?
You, OP are the architect of your "friends" misfortune.
She remained indecisive. Well, her husband has taken the decision out of her hand. Behold the decision has now been made for her. He is now fed. I can bet that of that man kicks her out a hundred times, she is always going to go back as long as he lets her.
Why do people like wasting other people's time? You want us to run helter skelter, give you all the advice in the world - only for you to summarily, discard it in the trash?

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.

Do you have a contact email?

Politics › Re: Ben Murray-Bruce Mansion In Beverly Hills, USA by Phut(f): 9:42am On Jun 28, 2016
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

He is going to Nigeria next month for a month. I'm going to miss him so much. He asked for my families measurements so he can bring me some dresses. He asked me did I want any food, I have eaten Nigerian food, but I have never had stock fish so he's going to bring me some of that. He said he is going to sell some of his properties so he can get us a nice house, he wants me to go with him one day and that's always been a dream of mine so I am a happy woman.

Here's my darling... He calls me Nkem
You can call him:
Obi'm = My heart (Obi is heart and M is the possessive pronoun)
Uso'm = My sweets/sweetheart
Nke'm = My own/ That which belongs to me
Afuru'm gi na anya = You are the apple of my eye
Dike na agha = Mighty man of valor

I do I do, just looking for extra assurance to alleviate insecurity. Ah, mek I no vex. Thanks again, I will carry on knowing the name doesn't mean sick papa grin
Nwanna ujo atuna gi.
Arianna means: Fathers prized possession.
The person that told you aria means sick is not very proficient in Igbo language and gave you a very wrong interpretation.
Sickness in Igbo is Oria and not aria. Aria means possession. Nna means father

RedboneSmith:
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

Thanks!
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?

that was the nickname I was given during my secondary school days and the guys that named me were even Yoruba boys who prolly do no know the meaning. thanks tho
Now that you have given me the context it makes more sense.
You know what I said about tonal marks? Well depending on the tonal marks, Obi also means King. E.g. Obi of Onitsha.
Obiego = King of money.
Sometimes people say Eze ego
Culture › Re: Nairaland Official Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba Dictionary by Phut(f): 8:33pm On May 08, 2016
SuperSuave:
can you help translate obiego to English pls
Obiego literally means Heart of money. Obi = heart. Ego = Money.
Although, I must confess I haven't heard the term or phrase used before. Are u sure that was what was said?
Obego = it has finished/ended. Also adding or removing tonal marks may change the meaning

You are welcome. What I find funny is that if people open a thread to appreciate themselves, there are always those ready to jump in and try to pull down. 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. In fact they would positively revel at the "bad" news

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

masseratti:
i believe una has more to do with you all than jamaican whatever,btw whats the meaning of umunna?
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.
Education › Re: 5 Most Common Nigerian Pidgin English Words and their Origin by Phut(f): 6:11pm On Apr 19, 2016
@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
