This hopeless country can not be redeemed..

Start a private airline, be like Richard Branson and stop posting negative pictures. How come we dominate list of Richest people in Africa #Think

We all watch TV but our channels are different. We all hit the streets but our neighborhood is different

Your neighborhood is not a true representation of the Nigerian society

coluka:
Fake story. The word has been in use in the north even before the civil war. It actually means give me water but it came from Igbo traders in the north even before independence. Those igbos were the first people to package drinking water in small packs for sale at a small price. It became a big business in the north. When the Hausa natives came to buy from them they said yamiri instead of Yem mmiri and the name eventually stuck. It is not derogatory, it's just a way of describing Igbos in the north just like Hausa's are called aboki in the west or Yorubas are called ofe mmanu in the east

Please what does ofe mmanu mean?

Let's also educate the world about the word 'yoruba'. It was derived from 'bayerabe' an hausa term for captured slaves from oyo empire.

Unlike 'Igbo' in Igboland, The word 'yoruba' means nothing in yorubaland at all. They simply adopted the slave name christened by the hausa and fulanis
That's why you can find prehistoric names like Igbokwe, Igbogadi, Igbonacho in Igboland but yoruba don't have a record the word 'yoruba', it is just a corruption of the word 'bayerabe' which Hausa-Fulani slave catcher gave them during the conquering of their land by the Caliphate.

Stop pulling lies from ur anus. Bayerebe means somone of yoruba descent, bahaushe means someone of hausa descent. Banupe means somone of nupe (niger state) descent, bakateffe means somone of kataff descent (in kaduna state)
The hausas add ba (meaning offspring of) to anyone from any tribe. Iyamiri and lies

Which private airline...? How come those small countries still have their airlines....Richard Branson has since closed his airline in Nigeria...saying that Nigeria politicians are thieves and need medical mental checkup...
Where is your NEPA, Nigeria shipping line, Nigeria railways...all have been run aground. You don't dominate anything thing...There is no country that gives government monopoly to one candidate that won't make it. Other rich people got theirs from looted government money. Small Ghana has better schools than Nigeria...Has better power supply..So what are you blabbing about?

NIGERIAN POLITICIANS ARE TOO CORRUPT AND INSANE – RICHARD BRANSON

“But those politicians are selfish…we did make N3billion for the federal government of Nigeria during the joint venture…realising that the government didn’t bring nothing to the table/partnership except dubious debts by the previous carrier, Nigeria Airways…The joint venture should have been the biggest African carrier by now if the partnership was allowed to grow, but the politicians KILLED it…Nigeria is a country we SHALL NEVER consider to doing business again..” RICHARD BRANSON

Please what does ofe mmanu mean?

Mmanu means oil, ofe means soup.... meaning oily soup. Because the yorubas like their stew oily and full of meat but igbos were used to soup with no oil and no meat, just leaves and grass and fish bone and crayfiish. Thats why their soup is always mixed with several mixture of leaves to hide the lack of meat and oil

Meat + oil = High cholestrol >>> Heart disease

Leaves+grass-Fishbone- Low cholesterol, calcium>>> Good health...

Which do you prefer...?

The name started before the war, it was the first set of igbos who went to the north in search of business.

Due to the hot weather of the north, they will first ask for water, nyem mmiri.

And the way the thing sounds to them was inyamiri, so called every Igbo man inyamiri.

Those that travel to Niger republic and far north will tell you how important water is.

How can people that lacked meat for 3 years like meat.
They enjoyed dried panla completely devoid of nutrient they called oporoko and grass.

Do you know what the Chadian sweepers and mercenaries did with most Igbo women during the war?

we talking in d present, ur referring us to pre civil war. no wonder yall still stuck to civil war fake glory, while the igbos moved on, smashing records after records daily

Onijagidijagan:
An Hausa man mentioned d word inyanmiri on funke oyinbo's facebook page and she asked for d meaning out of curiosity, below is the reply she got from another Hausa man.

Derogatory term for Igbo people... Used by Hausas... During the Nigerian civil wars
... The government cut supplies of food and water. When Igbos where captured the would ask for water... "Ye m mmir" means give me water in Igbo Language.


Check the screen shot, it says

The term, inyanmiri, preceded Nigeria/Biafra war. Most Nigerians are intellectual lazy and cannot indulge in a rudimentary research.

uglyafonja:
Imagine Hausa man even making derogatory comment about the great Igbos.

wonders shall never end

Don't you call us abokeis and the yorubas afonjas? This shouldn't bother anyone as all ethnic groups have derogatory appellations for others. Also please stop the empty chestbeating, for you are better than no one

Let's also educate the world about the word 'yoruba'. It was derived from 'bayerabe' an hausa term for captured slaves from oyo empire.

Unlike 'Igbo' in Igboland, The word 'yoruba' means nothing in yorubaland at all. They simply adopted the slave name christened by the hausa and fulanis
That's why you can find prehistoric names like Igbokwe, Igbogadi, Igbonacho in Igboland but yoruba don't have a record the word 'yoruba', it is just a corruption of the word 'bayerabe' which Hausa-Fulani slave catcher gave them during the conquering of their land by the Caliphate.

But this thread has nothing to do with the yorubas na

Hausaman say he uses a derogatory name to address you. Instead to face him with your counter attack and find a word to use for him.....you turn to accuse Yoruba.

Hausaman killed you in 66. Instead to march to Hausaland for revenge....your warlord turn to get revenge in Yorubaland.

We Yorubas will not relent in our God given right to keep you underfoot and marginalized till kingdom come.

Eyahhh, I feel your pain bro. This revelation has really dealt with you that you are afraid to face your masters that called you names. It is understood bro. Slave will always be slave. Hehehehehe

Are you aware oil and meat consumption is killing your heart softly? Can science say same of the other food condiments you intended as an insult?

The Yoruba boy in that picture is obviously malnourished than the almajiri under him, I think he has kidney infection. Too much consumption of oil and meat.

He could be as thin as a stick and the yanminri below him as fat as a pig....the stick is a authority with power to inflict pain into the animal and correct its sense.
