...yes....that is what it means...

Oh okay....just double-checking.....cause I've been accused of causing "wahala" and "doing shakara"....

hiawathia1981:
Ok. I got u. I knew what some of the words meant but got confused that the different words have the same meaning. Didnt put together that they were from different tribes

....Nigeria is a country of over 250 tribes...the three major tribes are hausas/fulanis, yorubas and the igbos....180 million peeps...

You know what? Soccer just isn't popular in the U.S. for some reason..
But my nephew is in a kiddie soccer league and seems to be doing well. He loves it!
Come to find out...one of my uncles was a soccer pro...well he was a very good soccer player.
So I guess it may be in my genes...lol.
I know you are gonna be excited about the World Cup.
Is Nigeria gonna be part of it?

Hiawathia1981, where are you?

Soccor isnt my thing. Actually no sport is.
Soccor isnt as big here as it is in other parts of the world. Although it has gotten bigger since David Beckham

Mobilia:

Ok....awesome! Well Go Nigeria then!
No...our parents (mainly my dad) didn't want us doing sports....only academics..
But I do love watching gymnastics, track-and-field and playing volleyball.

Im just very prissy. Or u would say slayqueenish. Growing up i would rather be reading than playing sports
Now i would rather people watch or aka being nosy.

...yes that is typical of nigerian parents, however it is changing big time, you see parents taking their kids to different sports academy and all...

DO you mean being "feminine" and "delicate"? Cause I understand "prissy" but "slay-queenish" is on a whole other level.
Slay-queenish is more like being arrogant or proud and obsessed with one's looks....

Are other sports popular in Nigeria like american football?

Well my mother was less-strict. It was mainly my dad!!!
But see there needs to be a balance in anything one does.
One can't always be into the books....
The body should be exercised spiritually, mentally AND physically.

Mobilia:
Awesome....
So for instance if I say this to you,

"Abeg, Martino, be a well-behaved young man biko..", then I would be correct right

yeah absolutely correct

Yeah...that Ginger Ale drink.....(no alcohol).
You know--with the real ginger in it

Well I'm just trying to help you out my sister.
I don't want folks getting the wrong impression...
Cause you have not portrayed yourself as a "slay-queen".
You have a nice personality...not rude, arrogant or boastful.
I understand being feminine and delicate.
I believe in that as well.

....the number one sport is soccer here,we love football, the rest follows, Nigerians kinda love basketball, but most do not understand it, too them, it has too many rules, 3 seconds violation, 8 seconds, 24 seconds, foul, offensive foul, back court..e.t.c..table tennis is also liked, but american football, not much....
