I mean d whole thin's a big joke 2 him, he does weird belly dance/jiggles for me nwadays wen i complain. I kno its meant to make me smile, but I dont find it funny.
He likes chasing me around the house, yelling 'big daddy's comin for you' and i run and dodge rily hard because i sincerely don't want to b caught for anoda dose of punishment + afta the chase he's rily sweaty and he's wheezin, literily out of breath, and dats not sexy at all. (the chase is about d only exercise he gets).
Den wen we're done bein intimate, he lyks 2 lay on me quietly for a few seconds and am usually jst strugglin to push him off

Interesting. It's possibly true that people were "forced" to become Muslim, but I don't know that the Jihad of dan Fodio was "mayhem."

Also, your quote is about Umar Tall, not Uthman dan Fodio. Read the page carefully.

I put "forced" in quotes because it seemed to be understood that the Hausa leaders/kings claimed to be Muslim, yet they were permitting the practice of pagan religions in their land and mixing Islam and paganism, which is apparently against Islam. (I'm not saying that that's right or correct or that they should have limited freedom of religion, I'm just pointing out that the Hausas apparently were supposed to be all Muslim going by the claims of their leaders.)


This link gives a bit more detail about what happened:

(There are probably better sources which go into as much detail, but that's all I could find on a quick search)

I could not have said that better myself. The young man walks around thinking he has a superior intellect
I don't walk around thinking about my "intellect."

because he can copy and paste sources on the internet better than most
"Better than most"? Is copying and pasting from internet sources a skill? Are there people with different skills and abilities in copying and pasting? Is there a Copy and Paste Olympiad?


but that does not show his true intelligence.
No, it doesn't. But I don't claim to post sources to back up statements/positions I take in order to display my "true intelligence." I wonder how anyone could take providing sources, links, or information as evidence of intellectual arrogance. It's a bizarre perspective to take.

Thank you for shedding light on his behavior.

I can see that I am not the only one who has noticed that from his post.

PoliticsRe: Between Igbo, Yoruba And Other Nigerian Women. What Is It With Igbo Women? by PhysicsMHD(m): 11:50pm On Apr 09, 2011
Obiagu1: @ PhysicMHD,
Shame on you! When you’re defeated in an argument, you go around attacking someone’s grammar to score a cheap point. There are few things some of you that grew up in the US or UK don’t know.
Defeated in an argument? Have you ever lived in the U.S.? Do you have any idea how many non-Igbo Nigerians are making great strides at great universities in the U.S.? Or do you, like Igwe, only look for names of Igbos on lists? I already acknowledged that Igbo women are definitely outdoing their counterparts, but with regard to Igwe's claim, there's only so much distortion one can let slide. If nobody speaks up, anything goes. YOU of all people should know this, from all the distorted pictures of Igbos some people on this forum have been trying to paint. But I'm not surprised at your biased, ignorant stance on this.




It’s hard to see a well educated Nigerian that grew up in Nigeria and had his/her first degree in Nigeria that speaks/writes impeccable English.
I'm not going to argue against this, because you lived in Nigeria longer than me and probably know more Nigerians that had their first degree in Nigeria than me, but I'll point out that numerous older and contemporary Nigerian writers, professors, and historians are a contradiction to this (and it's entirely apt to compare Igwe with such people since he has the necessary degrees to be on the same playing field with them).

The reason is because the foundation was poor; the English teachers weren’t good enough.
So anytime anyone uses a word incorrectly they get to blame their high school English teacher?

That does not diminish someone’s IQ or intelligence or education or achievement.
Of course not, but it's ironic when someone talks about requiring a discussion to be "articulate" and doesn't seem to understand the proper use of the word. That was why I mocked it. The glaring irony is that being articulate is about being able to express oneself lucidly and coherently, yet he was saying he only engages in "articulate conversation" but being inarticulate while doing so because he clearly meant something else other than "articulate" or he was using the word without understanding that it didn't apply to my previous posts. My rejoinder was totally appropriate (he implied that I was deficient, mind you) and not really "attacking someone's grammar for points".

They will still travel abroad and excel in their field of study with their “poor English”. Bring Math, Physic etc, they will beat you hands down, so what were you trying to achieve?
Who said they won't travel abroad and excel? Not me. It's good that poor teaching isn't preventing people from succeeding.

As for the part in bold, that's purely a conjecture on your part.

If everyone should be flawless in English to underscore their intelligence, education, IQ, smartness, I wonder why there are proofreaders
It's not required that one be flawless in English. It's necessary that one not imply that others are deficient in some area while exhibiting their own deficiency in that very area.

You claimed to have an IQ of 140 or there about
And? Does the claim bother you? I.Q. tests, and the numbers they crank out, are of no significance to me anyway. In the context that I brought that up, I was merely saying that having such an I.Q.  does not really qualify one as a "true genius" in some field seeing as how an ordinary nobody like me could meet that requirement.

but you did not know the meaning of compromise Huh
True, but I don't claim to be right in any argument purely on account of having this or that many degrees, lecturing in this or that many places and having this or that many relatives doing such and such, or what I claim my I.Q. is. I wouldn't stoop to that in an argument.

So why where you attacking someone because of few errors here or there and try to diminish his/her status?
I was mocking him a bit the whole time after he started getting aggressive. Not really an "attack", but you'll see that he started with the aggression and NOT me, if you followed the conversation, or if you have a shred of honesty anywhere in you (which I doubt). That he (Igwe) made the discussion uncivil is simply not in question. As for "trying to diminish" his status, try and be a bit more perceptive next time. I mocked how he could have forgotten the number of degrees he had, but he more or less gave away the reason why he forgot when he mentioned that he had a dual/double bachelor's degree. He obviously just forgot to count it as two, but I was entirely correct to point out the modification because people don't just forget degrees. It sounded like he had added a third merely to sound more impressive (as if I would care anyways), but it's clear that he just forgot. There was nothing wrong with me pointing that out.

If others tell you their own IQ, all you’ll end up doing is find where they made one or two mistakes and attack them as if IQ is equivalent to English.
Did I say I.Q. was equivalent to one's mastery of English? Stop projecting your own dumb conclusions onto me.

Moreover, this is a forum and not a committee that scrutinizes posters’ English.
I've ignored errors in spelling, word usage, and grammar in multiple discussions/debates with people on this forum, actually, and my post history proves it. It would be ridiculous for me to be a grammar/language Nazi on this forum when I have frequently made (and still make) grammatical mistakes on here myself. I think your attempt to paint me as someone who harps on English errors is thoroughly dishonest. But I can't say I'm all that surprised.

I’ll say you and your likes should go screw yourselves!
Noted. But in the future, don't engage me in any discussion, debate, topic, thread, etc. as I will be too busy "screwing myself" to pay you any mind. It is quite telling that both you and Igwe resorted to insults without any provocation and it shows how fragile your psyche is when your delusions are challenged. There is no point even discussing anything with people who act like animals when somebody offers a contrary opinion.

Noted.

Dan Fodio was not as bad as Hitler.

The fact remains that the Fulani Jihad was based on mayhem and forceful conversions to Islam, except in a few cases or when strong resistance (not necessarily military) was encountered.
And you base this claim on. . .?

There's a book called Nigerian Perspectives by Thomas Hodgkin. Excerpts of primary sources presented in that book paint a different picture entirely.

1. Labeling Nana Asma'u only a "jihadist" author seems like deliberate misrepresentation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nana_Asma%E2%80%99u


2. I cannot comprehend how anyone could compare Uthman dan Fodio to Hitler.

3. The 11 year conquest of Hausaland, Nupe, and a few other areas by Uthman dan Fodio was standard warfare. There is no record of any particular atrocity carried out, and nothing to suggest that such things occurred.

4. One of the prominent early Muslim followers of dan Fodio's jihad (before it was successful in overthrowing the semi-pagan Hausa rulers) was Hausa.

5. After conquest, the Hausas joined with dan Fodio and the Fulani to expand the empire. They were not dissatisfied with the change in leadership.

6. You guys can read p. 234-235 of this document

Cancer & Taurus Compatibility

When Taurus and Cancer come together in a love affair, it's usually a very good combination. They are two positions apart within the Zodiac, and such Signs tend to share karmic ties and a deep mutual understanding. These particular two Signs have much in common: Both prize security in a love relationship above almost all else; both tend to be nurturers (Cancer is emotionally nurturing while Taurus loves to spoil their lover with sensual delights, gifts and good, rich meals). They're both quite domestic and love a quiet night spent at home with their sweetie.

The Taurus-Cancer partnership tends to be a happy one due to this mutual enjoyment of the security and comfort of home. They love a solid home base, a strong relationship, nice possessions, good food: all the comforts of domestic life. Theirs is often the ideal family that people of other Signs strive for, with strong ties between them and a relationship that is family-oriented rather than toward the outside world. Their only major problems arise when Taurus insists on having its own way and Cancer responds by sulking. Taurus must understand Cancer's emotional sensitivity, and Cancer needs rely on open, honest communication than on emotional blackmail.

Taurus is ruled by Venus (Love) and Cancer is ruled by the Moon (Emotions). [size=13pt]Both of these celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy[/size]. Cancer often keeps emotions bottled up and simmering inside, which can lead to occasional boil-overs. Thus, Cancer is attracted to Taurus's open, honest, unafraid nature. As the Moon controls the tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life, so does Cancer, manipulating behind the scenes. Cancer tends to be sentimental, and both partners prefer to enjoy each other rather than socializing with large groups.

Taurus is an Earth Sign and Cancer is a Water Sign. Water and Earth are compatible as tangible, physical entities. As a Water Sign, Cancer is born to nurture an Earth Sign like Taurus the way rain nurtures Earth and helps crops grow. In turn, Taurus tends to have a more stable view of life than does Cancer and is less prone to emotional turmoil; therefore, Taurus can help Cancer stabilize their tumultuous feelings. Both Signs must be careful in this relationship, however: Taurus may tire of Cancer's mood swings, and Cancer may in turn feel that Taurus is insensitive to their needs.

Taurus is a Fixed Sign and Cancer is a Cardinal Sign. Taurus has Fixed habits; they won't change an opinion once it's formed. This can provide Cancer with an emotional rock, as Taurus is entirely dedicated to the relationship. In turn, Cancer can bring new inspiration to the relationship and start new projects that Taurus will enjoy taking over later.

What's the best aspect of the Taurus-Cancer relationships? The steady, reliable team they make. Both Signs are dependable and nurturing, strongly oriented toward domestic life together. A mutual love of home and security makes theirs an ideal long-term, family relationship.

This is my last post replying you because i only indulge in articulate conversations. Yes,  i have 3 degrees, a dual bachelors one of them in Engineering and an MBA from one of those ivy leagues, so i know exactly what i am talking about. I rejoice when i see all Nigerian representing because that is how it should be. But this topic was about NDIGBO,and thats it. I see Yo.rubas and others too in those schools and proud of all  of them, but their numbrs are nothing compared to IGBOS. I was in  academia because i have been a part time lecturer before i diversified my investments, so i have good command of this topic.  Your arguments stems from the fact that you cannot accept the obvious and if this is the case, then you have more personal issues than you think. This will be my last response to  you on this because i do not make flimsy arguments
"Articulate" conversations? Do you even know what the word articulate means?  undecided  What part of my post was not clear, well formulated or coherent?  


I don't really care how many degrees you have or where you claimed to have lectured in whatever subject. Everything you've posted only arouses great skepticism from those (like myself) who actually keep up with academia for research reasons, know which names belong to different ethnic groups in Nigeria, and who live in the U.S. These claims of yours are almost certainly based on an extremely small selection of schools, or you possess a glaring ignorance ot the names of other ethnic groups. Either way, I think I'm done. Reality will catch up with you someday anyways.

A European writer who visited the king's court and made extensive, detailed notes about the court and the people, and who was aware of the Yoruba languages erroneously concluded that the language of the city could be grouped as a Yoruba language, based on a (doubtful) tale about it being understood as far into Yorubaland as Abeokuta, But tellingly, he makes no mention of the king's language being distinct from that of the city.
