Say some things in Yoruba & Igala

None of your business. My language fluency ain’t here for your exhibition.

AllforJesus7:
Easy young man and stop acting suspicious.

I could investigate you if I want. Albiet I am assured you will not succeed with an ulterior motive.

And who exactly are you?

You ask her if I’ve got an ulterior motive. Investigate me all you like. In fact I’m inviting you to. Feel free.

You ask her about the time I drew her up an action plan, wrote her a letter for her to show her GP and get specialist referral and see if I’ve got a motive other than wanting to help out vulnerable people outside the view of a Nigerian forum where she’s open for explotation from all the sickos on here. I’m not the one you need to concern your head over, believe me.

AllforJesus7:
Oh are you willing to assist with bills and arrangements?

I believe you know its beyond just asking her to go for help. Someone has got to assist with bills and plan arrangements for her as well as monitor her progress.

It’s my job to do what I do. Keep your nose out.

davidif:
And what exactly is this supposed to mean? Gosh, this is the side effects of colonization and brainwashing. I don't care if English is the world's language, my language is still my language.

LMFAO. Whether you admit it or not it’s the truth. English is the world’s lingua Franca. That’s a hard fact and I’m just pointing out that, nothing else.

Sentiments don’t change what reality is.

2morogobeta:
you just want to sedate me with drugs

Anything’s got to be better than you asking the same questions on here and putting yourself up for exploitation. This thing you’re doing ain’t the answer and you know it.

Bloody hell.

How many more times do I need to tell you to let people who can actually help you help?

Or are you just gonna say you’re just “mourning my mum’s death”? You’re ill. You need professional help.

kushme:
Hey buddy, you had to say white man or black man.
So, its all about a man's colour, right? We are not disputing the difference .. Its a damn shame

Wetin be any female(s) major contributions to history and now without the help of any man?

A man is a man but "MAN PASS MAN" Why not speak about the women? You thirsty female supporter.

Misogny ain’t for us. Or you don’t know that black women have contributed more to civilisation than black men?

A man ain’t just a man. The same old textbooks that you use to soothe your ego are the same ones who call negro men the most savage and primitive people of humankind. Colour’s get everything to do with it.

Instead of hanging onto something that only works for people who have white male privilege tell us what the black man’s contributed to civilisation. I’m listening.

Igbo and a little bit of Yoruba and Igala here and there.

Hope to have mastered the last two olus German, French and Italian come Halloween.

kushme:
Hey elpigrafa, now you want me to tell you that all women ain't shi.t without the help of men. Many men ain't shi.t because of the standard of "Man pass man".... No single woman in the history of the world became successful without the presence(help) of men in it.... But plenty men have done did it without any female around...

I challenge you to any historic or current achievement of women innovations succeeding all alone with other women on any project for the economic development of mankind.. Guess you can't say the same for men... If you do, i will see you as a joke..

White men or black men it has to be said. Which?

Misogny’s a white man’s thing. Blacks (especially sub-Saharan) Africans are on the same plain as each other female or male. Did you know that?

Most of what you people use to big up men comes from the West. It’s not just any man’s world but a white man’s world.

Quality20:
it's only d fear of the almighty that is preventing many men from beating and killing some women. Gossiping, insults sneering ,outright ingrates, diabolism, extravagancy ,mischief, laziness, bad mouthing, excessive comparison, and of course gross/continuous disobedience are only just a few things many of ds women do to men and they think it's fun or nothing

This thing didn’t happen in Nigeria. Drop the Afro marriage mentality where akatas and oyinbos are concerned. You’re talking out of tune.

ewa26:
Hi hon, is it ok for igbo men to wear shimi underneath their wrapper

That’s for you. It’s alright for OritseFemie innit.

And it’s alright for any other man who needs lining under his wrapper. I’ve told you.

A moderator should shut down this thread and all her other ones. I’m not prepared to stand back and watch a mentally ill girl put herself up for exploitation on a dangerous forum.

Where are these silly people who call themselves moderators? Don’t they care about protecting vulnerable people?

Maychang:
You are very stupid! Is she the only one who has got issues?

MR P.A to the deep-seated issue Lady. Mtschw!

You’re a very stupid woman. This lady has medical issues.

Maychang:
All this while you have been saying you were good girl and christian.

A christian wouldnt have said all you just typed.

Now im begining to think you are just an attention seeker.

Shut your dirty mouth. This young lady’s got deep-seated issues. Carry your judgement and piss off.

2morogobeta:
what is your deal?

all you want to do is force me to go to those doctors who will pump me with drugs

im ok

im just bereaved.

You’re not okay and you’re not just bereaved. Let someone give you proper help that you won’t get on here.

Like it or don’t like it we can all see that you’re very far from okay. That’s a fact whether you admit it or not. Deep down you’ve got enough insight into your illness to recognise that you’re not well. And you won’t fool someone like me so let someone who’s qualified help you instead of making a show of yourself on a Nigerian forum.

What have I told you? Do you want proper medical help or not?

Obi1kenobi:
Stop being stewpid. The Biblical Jews did not wear trousers - men or women. Nowhere has it ever been said that trousers are clothes for men, except among Nigerian cretins. Even Arab, Persian and Turkish women have won trousers for centuries and you're hear quoting nonsense from the Bible.

Nigeria as a country’s brainwashed. I weep for this nation.

NavalObi37:
VERY WRONG
THE HOLY BIBLE CONDEMNED SUCH
DEUTERONOMY 22:5

Why are Nigerians so bloody stupid?

Were men wearing trousers in bible times? Were they around before colonialism? Ask yourself Use questions or keep quoting the bible out of turn.

Soup as in leek and potato soup obviously. I’ll stick to ogbono soup.

OyiboUgbo04:
But why will a mother wear a trouser to a traditional gathering. A gathering that tend to promote and uphold the culture of the people, If they cant promote any other thing because i know they dont officiate the meeting in Igbo language let them at least promote our attire. what is wrong is wrong, the woman did not try. If she cant dress up like a proper Igbo woman let her stop attending the meeting.

Why can’t the father figures dress like proper Igbo men either?

sweetgala:
Trousers do not fit any anatomy anywhere they were so designed for utility purpose.
Go find any tribe where the ancient clothing includes trousers

That’s basically what I’m saying.

Mynd44:
What if she isnt Christian?

Is christianity part of their culture?

Someone needs to define what culture is first. You know people like to cherry-pick what is and isn’t culture.

Someone can start off by defining unadulterated Igbo culture for a start.

[quote author=Dj84 post=65569747][/quote]And who says bifurcated trunks are gender specific?

When do you think men started wearing trousers themselves? You think that was always a thing?

Wearing trousers in Igbo culture for men and women isn’t cultural or traditional. It’s purely a white man’s adaptation.

They should’ve all been tying the wrapper if tradition meant that much to them.

Mynd44:
Is trousers part of the cultyre for men or was it adopted from the white men?

Purely a white man’s thing. That’s what I’m saying.

I’m just saying. Were trousers around in the days of our traditional forefathers in the first place, hm? Did men wear trousers in 1808?

Jackson619:
Culture is culture. It is meant to be obeyed

Did anyone in Igboland wear trousers when this cultural code came around?

Mynd44:
Men need to stop trying to police what women wear, who put up the dress code?

If a man wore a wrapper there would they turn their backs

Patriarchy needs to die

Wrappers are part of Igbo culture for women and men. Did you know that?

Trousers fit the anatomy of females more than men.

LaudableXX:
I don't know what that Laudate chap did to you, that you now think everyone else whose moniker sounds similar, must be him. Try to stop being delusional. It doesn't suit you....

Look at this onye ala.

StarFlux:
The same still applies.

Culturally confident people won't readily adapt foreign names. There is no "practicality" in taking a white man's name; it's all for assimilating oneself into becoming one. Stuff like this only happens in former colonial states, nowhere else. You have clearly become an oyinbo though. Even labeling people as "primitive" based on their names. Lmao, only in Africa.

LMFAO. LMFAO.

I’m anything but oyinbo. Anything but. I’m as far from unseasoned chicken as I can be. I’ve got paprika, brown sugar and maggi rolled on my honey skin as we speak.

StarFlux:
OK. Abeg, so you see the French or the Germans discarding their culture and language for the sake of English? Rara o. You are inept if you think that is the case. English in Nigeria goes far beyond the scope of "practicality".

English culture and language is seen as the epitome of success in this country sef. Dressing like a westerner, eating, talking and acting like one means one is "civilized" in Nigeria. See the parents who refuse to teach their children their mothertongues, and see the literal adaptation of western-style education in this country. Literally everything here is built upon the british' way of life. If you are a villager, you are a loser. Because you live the traditional way, free of massive wasteful consumption, you are deemed inferior.

Who is really inferior though, the olodo who cannot think for himself and has to bow down to his colonial masters, or the villager who sustains this country through his hard work? The reason this country cannot progress is because of the olodos thinking they are better than their ancestors.

At last I must congratulate the British for successfully breaking the African mind and creating a political elite of white man's slaves who will do anything to speak their language and be like them when we should be more like the villager.

I’m talking solely about naming and nothing else. Go off on tangents with me and miss my point if you want but I know what I said and meant.
