they dont actually mean anything. They're just applied at birth based on the child's presentation.

another one: Oni which is given to a baby still wrapped in the placental sack or what do they call the covering.[/quote]@tpia, names both of persons and objects do not necessarily have meaning, that is the part of essence of dictionary,  for example what is the meaning of water, table , road, car, I mean how do they relate to their meaning if you do not speak English. Some names are derived from action or sound they make like what linguists call onomatopoeia while others are descriptive, So names like Ojo, Ajayi, Ige, Oke, etc may not have comprehensible meaning but those who give then know who to give when they are born.

Barka Jummah to all, The Imam's Khutbah was about doing good for the sake of Allah alone, do not always expect the recipient to pay back. May Allah guide us aright.

@FL Gators, who's I, how can I? lol.
The word hypocrate is too harsh for that meaning, It may be close, you know Yoruba is deep, like people saying "Ko gbo ede ogbo eke" if someone does not speak Yoruba language well but knows how to use slangs to communicate to some associate when others present would not understand.

The Statement is ironic in nature and it literally means:

You can't eat anything that is harder (stronger) than plantain, but you can eat guguru This simply translate to: You're an hypocrite

@FL Gators,

Taiye is the first of the twins and Kehinde is the last (Kehinde is regarded as the senior saying he sent Taiye to check out things out first) Idowu is child after the twins, Alaba follows Idowu, Idogbe follows Alaba and Idaha follows Idogbe

Susan Wenger was a white lady who came from Austria to Osogbo Osun State long time ago, she lived and worship Osun deity till her death at age of 94 few years ago. She adopted the name Adunni and people call her Olorisa, that is deity worshiper. Ulli was an artist that introduced her to African culture.

ibkaye:
Who are all these people?

Ulli brought her to Nigeria, then she got intrested and stayed back since then till her death, burried some where ate Osogbo. She made most of the artistic monuments at the shrine.

Susan, or Adunni olorisa was from Austria she came to Osogbo, I think in the 40s to study and worship osun , what esle would you like to know about her.

The lady teacher asks the pupils what kind of medicines they know and what they are used for.

The first pupil said: 'Tylenol.'

'Very good! And what is it used for?'

'It is used for headache.'

The second pupil said: 'Nytol'

'Excellent. And what it is used for?'

'To help you sleep.'

Now it is Johnny's turn and he said: 'Viagra'

'Johnny, what is it used for?'

'I think it can be used for diarrhea.'

'Who told you this?'

'Nobody, but every evening my mother tells my father, 'Take a Viagra, maybe that little shit will get harder.'

What i want to know is why is there always violence and skirmishes perpetrated by northern muslim extremests in nigeria but hardly happens in this other west african countries and cameroun even though they also have their own muslims(mostly in their northern parts as nigeria) in their countries ?

That is a good, question and my own answer is that most riots have political undertone not religious. The biased press does not help matters in most cases too.

bluespice:
oyinda, ur flirting no get part 2!

cyberbased I guess, lol

@Olivetree, may be you think only landed property is collateral, no bank gives loan that is ultimately risky, at least not now that they are written, billions due to their deed and misdeed in recent past. Salary backed loan collateralized in a way by your employer's consent and awareness  that your salary acct would not be moved from their bank. You are also made to agree that your entitlements would be paid to the bank in case of separation before their money is fully paid. In case your calculated gratuity is not up to the amount you are borrowing you pay some percentages insure the loan, what do you call that.

Honestely Moyo, you need to develop your own dictionary, your spellings na elele.
