I don't even like ofe onugbu at all..even the "not bitter at all" is too bitter..

Give me egusi,okra,okazi! Anytime,Any weather..

You saying you can’t eat anything with utazi in it either?

How do you like your bitterleaf soup? Bitter or not bitter at all?

DejiSantos:
It's a western phrase.

It's praising you lol

Whoops, wrong thread innit. Allow that last reply.

DejiSantos:
Teach them!!!!

You keep reiterating the same old stock phrase on a loop. Teach them wetin?

casby:
Jollof rice with oven grilled okuko

Looking sharp.

Pataricatering:
Are you really serious? To you any death is ritual ? God save us with this mentality!

Amen.

Igbo, Igbo and Igbo.

Especially Awka. Best in the world.

DejiSantos:
Theres ways to punish children without beating them

So you keep saying. Spare the rod and spoil the child.

We don’t have to go all soft just because we’re becoming more globalised. Some oyibo kids aren’t afraid to call their own mothers cunts. Look at how softly-softly’s working out for them.

Ewu.

@Olu317
Thanks a lot Prince!

I'm just seeing this post after being off NL
for some days.

2017 was an awesome year when I got to interact
with intelligent and mature minds like you [@Olu317], Naptu2, 9jakool, laudate, Macof, IgalaSchool... and more!
I learned a lot from you folks last year
and hope to interact some more in 2018.

I wish you all the POSITIVES for the year 2018.

Happy New Year once again @Olu317.


P.S. I have already digitally scanned some of the
historical docs I said I will share with you. I'll PM
you when I get to scan the last doc which
I have not found yet.

Laudate? A mature mind? Ewo.

SilverChinedu:
You boil your tomatoes before you fry them?

Either that or roast. Else you’re just frying water.

Things like that obviously matter less when you’re only making a little stew.

He could’ve at least used Nigerian rice and actually season the beef.

Why couldn’t he boil the tomatoes before frying them?

Nah. It was alright for what it was but he’s got a long way to go before he’s flying in the kitchen m.

zeusdgrt:
Park well

Come and park me. Try it and I’ll run you over.

The word "Naiveness" in that context is very correct.

And no, your argument does not hold water nor should be taken seriously if it cannot be backed up by facts and/or statistics.

Listen to yourself bloke, "spanked their kids until very recently." The fact that they once did it doesn't make it - by any chance- right. They stopped it... And Yes they actually made it ILLEGAL in those countries. Why? because it's wrong.

Little wonder Africa is behind the first world countries and by extension continents by a million and one miles. Thanks to cavemen like you.

Who’s this little kid? I’m talking based on personal experience and you’re talking statistics and hard facts?

You think you sound smart throwing around scientific terms in casual conversation but you don’t. It’s out of place when the OP’s asked us for personal opinions on a subjective matter. Of course it’s up for debate.

zeusdgrt:
And so?

Who asked you to be commenting?

You’re some little kid who’s had his head buried in his books for years. Eyiye.

Bacteriologist:
Your ignorance stinks. You need to learn what the word 'culture' means before spewing trash.

Your hasty generalization further exposes your naiveness. There's no research that says African children respects their parents than their White counterparts.

Spanking children all the time only hardens them the more. I prefer to actually be able to caution them using words and nonviolent means like grounding etc.

“Exposes your naiveness.”

That or naivety? Westernisation has its place but not when it comes to disciplining kids. “There’s no evidence to suggest [...], that’s completely anecdotal.” Do you think I’m talking based on statistical elaboration or personal experience and belief?

It should be said that oyibo parents spanked their kids until very recently.

SilverChinedu:
You dont like rice and stew?

Not when it’s made like that. Sorry.

DejiSantos:
Because I will not agree with you ridiculous assertions lol

Not a lot of people on here will. There’s a fine line between discipline and assault.

And no. White people don't have culture, not really.

Gmajor:
What exactly do you want the information for?

Why do people answer questions with more questions?

DejiSantos:
White people dont have culture?

Shut up man. Pissing me off.

Anyone got a clue the proportion of Anglicans and (especially) Catholics to mainline Protestant denominations in Igboland?

I know Abia State’s majorly Methodist and Pentecostal. How about the likes of Enugu and Imo?

DejiSantos:
Theres a reason why European nations are less violent.

Normalising violence from young with smacking is not good.

Im sure you cam out fine. Buy you might have come out better if your parents had spoken to you instead of hitting you.

There’s a reason oyinbo people don’t have culture. It’s not just their melanin that’s peeled off.

But it’s not a bad way either. I would’ve turned out a lot worse if my dad was scared of putting me in check. There’s a reason oyibo people don’t always respect their parents.

DejiSantos:
Being in Nigeria makes assaulting children okay?

Assault or discipline?

Are you an oyibo?

DejiSantos:
There are other ways to teach your child without assaulting them.

Assault. LMAO. This is Nigeria we’re talking about.

Onye ara.

That guy’s stew was a nonsense. Team Imo in this case.
