10 pm to 6 am. I’m a night-shifter by nature.

How-about the right name?

advanceDNA:
She tammed a squirrel..... Interesting...

You call that a squirrel?

Oh, Jesus.

RIP.

Happy birthday.

That man looks older than 80.

She even looks older than 63. Fit enough but clearly her age.

I don’t even like eggs anyway.

Something must kill a (wo)man.

What’s the reason behind tomatoes or anything costing so much these days? Haven’t tomatoes been extortionately priced in Nigeria since late 2016?

I just hate James Brown. Not because of anything inherently in connection with his sexuality (deny it though he does), and sexuality has no inherent bearing on how a person acts. Just him as a person.

PlasmaTV:
You are NOT deeper life. Shut up.

Indeed. Can you imagine?

Good.

Stuff AI.

LifestyleTonite:
That's a lie.

Pepper Soup is West Africa and common in Nigeria and Ghana. Or do you want to tell me that there are Igbos in Ghana too?

You guys just love to claim everything.

I’m jot talking about in a broader west African context, though. I mean in Nigeria itself. Yes, it’s become popular across Nigeria but Yorubas are known for pepper-stew/s more than pepper-soup. It’s always traditionally been much more of a(n) Igbo/Delta thing. Calabar people seem to vibe with the interface between pepper-soup and plantain porridge (which is to die for with goat-meat, I can’t lie) but even they aren’t traditionally big pepper-soup-for-pepper-soup’s-sake people. A little, but not like Igbos and Delta/Rivers/Bayelsa people. At least not originally.

Not half your so-called soups being stews.

StraightGaay:
Who con get pepper soup?

Igbos and Deltans/Naija Deltans.

Ondo, Ekiti and parts of Osun, yes. Beyond that, not at all.

Chicken and turkey is my favorite Bird meat others are rubbish

You obviously haven’t had goose or duck. Can be used for anything you’d normally use chicken for. Anyone who’s had jollof rice cooked with goose and goose broth knows how delicious it is.

AjaanaOka:
Enebeli and Ojugbeli are actually Ukwuani/Aboh names. You will also find them among Ogbaru people in Anambra State who are cultural cousins of the Ukwuani. I do not know any Igala person who bears these names. But it there are, they borrowed them ultimately from Ukwuani.

Enemona is Igala. It has an Igala meaning and is used by Igala people till date.

The use of Alumona cuts across Nsukka and into the Oshimili-Aniocha axis of Delta State. I have no idea what it means, but the people I asked pointed to Igala as the source. If the name came from the Igala, then it has been altered in Igbo mouths, because the name in that form does not exist in Igala. The "-mona" ending is strongly suggestive of an Igala providence where a number of names with "-mona" endings do exist, eg., Ilemona and the already mentioned Enemona.


Well, the Ibaji people kind of fit what you're thinking here. These were a people on the border area between Kogi, Enugu and Anambra who are essentially a mixture of Igbo and Igala. They spoke both languages with equal facility; and ethnographic information from the last century and the late 19th century suggests that until the hardening of ethnic lines in late Colonial and post-Colonial times, they leaned more towards the Igbo, culturally. Their names seem to have been predominately Igbo (that is changing today), they took Ogbuefi titles and venerated Ikenga. They wouldn't have identified as Igala in precolonial times - but this doesn't mean they would have identified as Igbo either. They were simply Ibaji or Olu - as more hinterland Igbo called them.

So when you speak about some of these "Igala" women already speaking Igbo, you're probably speaking of the Ibaji people. There was a village in Awka that did marry quite a lot from Ibaji: Umubele Village. While Ụmụzocha travelled to Nsukka and the hinterland Igala villages (i.e., the non-riverine parts of Igala), Umubele travelled to the riverine areas north of Onitsha, covering the Anam communities, Ibaji and as far north Idah.

I did meet some of the last of the old generation of Ibaji women married to Umubele name, and I particularly remember one of them who went by a regular old-school Igbo name, but was known to everyone as 'nwanya Igala'.

How fluent was this Ibaji woman in Igbo?

RIP.

Yet he calls himself a pastor. A fool thinks himself wise until he speaks.

Or, indeed, until he thinks.

Is he some kind of minister of condolence visits? You people act like it is a duty he owes every bereaved Nigerian family. Man is a private citizen ffs!

Thank you.

I concur without proof but with mere logic and conjecture reasoning that men will avoid her and lead to lower mileage but having said that, once alcohol enters a man anything is doable Now discuss this latter point.
