[s]used to draw the line against calling my own "people" racial slurs, but i have decided that they are the best descriptions of the black race. Let the fun begin.

Thanks for opening my eyes Quid.[/s]

You are not black and you definitely are not African. Nobody bought into that so, stop with the facade. Have the cojones to come out cleanly as the white racist and supremacist that you really are

pleep:
[b] I don't feel any emotion on the internet, just a vague sense of amusement. [/b]I also like to share my ideas

Open a seemingly, serious thread. Then read on with amusement. Classic troll behavior.

quid:
Stop frustrating yourself.
You will gather wrinkles for nothing.

For real.

quid:
Have you stopped talking about black people?

Hahaha! Good question

Wash your eyes with bleach before commenting.
I wrote ''Osa'' not ose.

Ihuoma, Igbo's also use Ose to mean God (as in Osebuluwa/God who has the world in his hands)

This guy pleep doesn't care about 'upstanding' and 'nice' and 'church'.

They were black. And he is sure that (being black) they invariably had single-digit IQs, even though he never met any of them and never administered an IQ test to any of them.

You see, all black people need to perish with their inferior mental ability so that pleep and his high-intellect-bearing sperm can create a new race of high-IQ black men. Pretty cool, huh?

LOL! When he encounters an argument he does not like, he does address it head on (sidesteps it by saying you have a low IQ anyway)

Biko, nwanne'm gini bu emailu yi? Nkem di na profileu mu. Onyere ozi achoro'm izi yi.

Why do you keep comparing yourself to whites, this is why there is no hope for black people. Just because white people did the holocaust means black people shouldn't try to develop?

You people are so fucking retarded, evolution left you neanderthals in the stone age.

Point of correct: Whites are the neanderthals, not blacks.

Carry on ....

pleep:
He was doing us a favor.

All the people he killed were upstanding members of society, who were very nice to him and were praying in Church. One was even a member of Congress. And your response is that he was doing us a favor? You sound white supremacist, just like the perp.

muderkid:
delighted... getting to know what my igbo name means, thanks sis

You are welcome. You should learn more about Igbo language and culture

muderkid:
Any igbo guy in the house, what does Nweke mean pls?

The names of days in Igbo are : Eke, Orie, Afo, Nkwo

Nwaeke or Nweke is a child born on Eke day. Same goes Nworie, Nwafo, Nwankwo.

Okeke means a Man that was born on Eke day. Likewise you have Okorie, Okafo, Okonkwo

macof:
Oka is also used in yoruba. I've never heard Agidi used as pap in yoruba. agidi is force(ful) or tough

Ehn, Tintin means small in yoruba. . Tinrin is slim so don't conclude just yet

The Tintin is borrowed from Igbo (Love Nwantinti) and that is a fact

Nelly Uchendu sang a song Love Nwa nti nti. This was a while back. It was a hit nation wide and Love nwa nti nti (small small love/Infatuation) became part of mainstream pidgin. Since then, countless artiste's have sang about it ; Omawumi (of recent), Obiwon, Sam Cole, Casandra to name just a few.

Some Yoruba's (maybe because of accent) have a habit of putting an "n" at the end of a word
if you tell Ebonyi state, they will spell it as Ebonyin (put an 'N' at the end)
Bigfrancis21 described it as nasalization of words in some other threads. Well, it is the same thing that is happening here. You say Love nwa nti nti, they hear Love nwa tin tin. Heck, some even pronounce/write the nwa as wan (moving the n to the end of the word), resulting in wan tin tin (an even bigger corruption of the original phrase).

If people are going to appropriate a word, they should be ready to give credit where credit is due. Otherwise it becomes Language theft. But like I have been saying in this thread, once it becomes mainstream pidgin, some Yoruba's claim it as Yoruba, which is wrong

scholes0:
What do you mean one more Yoruba word similar to Wahala?
the word is originally Arabic!

Why did you claim earlier that Akamu is Yoruba word for pap?

Akamu = Pap in Igbo
Ogi is Pap in Yoruba.

You know this and yet chose to misinform people. This is how Language theft starts. 20 years from now, your children and my children will now be on the Internet arguing about the origin of Akamu

scholes0:
So, why didn't the Hausas who supposedly are the only people through which Arabic words can travel didn't introduce the Horse to the Yorubas as "Doki"?
Why do Yorubas call it something different from YOUR PEOPLE? It simply proves that Arabic words can be found in Other West African languages, and Hausa is not the only West African language with Arabic originated words in it.

But isn't it funny that you are ready and willing to accept Arabic influence, but don't acknowlege Hausa infleunce?

scholes0:
Oga, (Boss), Akara (Bean Cake), Oyinbo (White man), Akamu (pap), Egidi (corn meal) are Yoruba words.
I agree with the rest.

O di kwa egwu.

Akamu is 100% Igbo and means pap. The Yoruba word for pap is Ogi. Surely, you know this Scholes0. This goes back to what I said before. Once a word becomes mainstream in pidgin, you guys try to claim it as Yoruba. Oyibo means White in Igbo. Igbo people even answer it as a surname.
Agidi is Igbo for cornmeal. Agidi is the word that is used in pidgin English. Egidi is irrelevant, in this context.

Carry on.

For Oluwa, there is Chineke

For Omo there is Nna (Nna mehn)
For Oya, there is Ngwa

Inyanga is from Igbo language
Kwanta is from Igbo.
Plus a whole list of others I don't care to mention. The difference is that most people (except for you) have acknowledged the impact the different native languages have had on pidgin. And even if part of their pidgin speech contains a word from another persons native language, they give credit and move on. Unlike u who want to claim that every word is from Yoruba

scholes0:
How would you explain the difference in intonation, then?
As you might well be Aware, in African Languages like Igbo and Yoruba, Tones can make all the difference.

Ògá in Yoruba is a stand alone word, meaning someone above you.

The tonal pronounciation in the Igbo word is exactly the same as the pidgin equivalent. And like I said, Igbo's contract words all the time.
I don't understand Yoruba so I am not going to comment on that. But I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that when we Igbo's say the word Oga, we are referring to its meaning in Igbo and not some Yoruba word

Drchristian:
Oyibo is simply out of d word Oyinbo which is a yoruba
word. oyibo has no direct meaning in igbo.

Wrong. Oyibo is an Igbo word and always have been. Igbo people even bear it as names. I have a family friend named Oyibo Asi***

A search on Facebook will show many Igbo people that bear the name Oyibo

scholes0:
Oga is Yoruba.
The Oga of Yoruba is a word by itself, not part of a word.
Also, their tones are different. Oga is (Ògá), Ogaranya's is (Ògà)

Other than that, I agree with the rest of your statement, thread title is stupid.

Nope. I have had this conversation with a Yoruba girl, who thought Oga was Yoruba because the use of the word is so mainstream now but when she asked her mother, her mother told her otherwise.

In Igbo language we use contractions all the time

You are guilty of what you accuse Igbo's. It seems once a word from any of the native languages becomes part of mainstream pidgin, you turn and claim it to be Yoruba.
Kaura5000 and VodlerGrimsbane have already schooled you on Wahala being a Hausa word.

Another is Oga/Ogaranya which a 100 % Igbo word and not Yoruba. Oga/Ogaranya = Rich man/Boss in Igbo. Go ask your elders the Yoruba word for Boss because it sure ain't Oga

Adanna28:
Let me share my Samoan culture proverb..

O fānau a manu e fafaga i fugālā'au, 'ae 'o fānau a tagata e fafaga i 'upu." "

(The offspring of birds are fed with flower nectar, but the children of men are nurtured with words."

Nice one!

Igbo proverb: Inu bu mmanu eji eri okwu.
Translation:Proverbs are the palm oil with which words are eaten.

Igbo's eat a lot of yam, sometimes roasted, sometimes boiled. The yam would be eaten with red Palm oil and spices. The oil was to help the yam, which may otherwise be dry, to go down easily. This central role played by the oil is akin to the role played by proverbs in Igbo speech, hence the above proverb.

Do share some more Samoan proverbs

@ Radoillo, what part got you?
I scrolled to the bottom of the thread and wondered what's funny? Then I read the part of ChinenyeN's post about having to calm down. I could see it in my minds eye; ChinenyeN all pent up, pacing up and down and "seeing" only 1 way to calm himself.

@ ChinenyeN, kudos to you.I love your passion. I have learnt from your posts on this thread. Please, keep sharing your findings.

It's only Nigerians you'll "see" LOLing, when they are intact the object of ridicule. *sucks teeth*
