Celebrities › Re: Pictures Of Baba Suwe In Court by rhymz(m): 11:51am On Nov 02, 2011
As far as I am concerned, that Niggur is guilty as charged. The CT scan did not lie there is a weird twist of fetishism and some underhand dealings. That niggur swallowed some wraps but somehow dislodged them through means that goes beyond the confines of the eyes. There are reports that he has already been released from detention but after fulfilling some very strigent bail conditions and payment of a huge fine. Obviously, Nigga aint reasly free and is prolly under survailance, his reluctance to opposing such bail conditions only goes to show that niggar has got sth to hide. I am sure he and his boisterous Lawyers wont do jack coz they know the NDLEA still have ish that can spill beans on them. Free man indeed
Business › Re: Discussing Fuel Subsidy Removal (please Let's Keep The Discussion Civil) by rhymz(m): 3:05pm On Oct 28, 2011
I see a looming REVOLT should the government do anything that will make the price of petrol go up to an unbearable amount; whether through removal of alleged subsidy or not.
Nigeria will collapse under the weight of the problem that will arise from such an insensitive policy. Our economy is so PETROL-based that it entirely impossible to jack prices without the risk of a general increase in the prices of goods and services. How will Nigerians survive such an onslaught?
I ve gone through the first contributory post by one Kh-guy, quite expository and good for reading, likewise Simon Kolawole's expose' but I still don't think scrapping whatever mechanism( subsidy or whatever fancy name used) that has managed to put the price in a fairly reachable price for Nigerians is the best decision in this regard. Let's not make it seem like such a quick fix is the only option we have to solving the problem.
Such argument paints a picture of a government that has tried with all effort to fight the alleged corruption that has made useless of the so-called "subsidy" when in the actual sense, the government is only interested in a quick fix and has not bothered to exhaustively engage other options-having the "political will" to fight head-on this undisputed corruption champion. They seem too scared to want to avail the option of a head-on fight with the acclaimed cartel that will make them suffer more than a hundred million Nigerians. I find it curious that they are so reluctant to exert any political will to fight off the few spoilers of the fuel subsidy program but are all too willing to seek for easy rout through scrapping the program and further heightening the sufferings of millions of Nigeria just because of an unpopular few? This is like killing a fly with a sledge harmer, it is a no brainer.
Why should I conclude-in the light of the revelation of the corruption that has become of the program- that the "subsidy" should be scrapped? As if there is going to be any corresponding development from the monies realized and saved in other areas that will directly cushion the effect? What has Nigeria ever done right that has not been boggled down by thesame corruption excuse? The only effect scrapping the subsidy will have on us is more hardship while the monies saved some how find their way to thesame criminals that is making us flirt with the idea of scrapping it. This is a very delicate, double edged sword problem, it can be liken to a fly that peeches on the scrotum, you leave it there it bites you and gives you disease; if you squash it, you run the danger of injuring yourself.

Another reason Igbo marriage last long is because the women know how to cut shows secretly, their husbands don't catch them because they are doing it with each other. Go to festac and hear how this Igbo wives sleep with themselves. They pretend they are selling goods like bags, shoes, cloths, makeup etc and go to each others house to cut their shows. I know a girl that was almost attacked when she went to look at goods in one Igbo woman's house, the woman invited her to the bedroom nd she followed because she thot that is where the goods are only for the woman to start hugging her and pressing her bosom and telling her she is beautiful. The girl said she carried her slippers and ran, then she called the woman who introduced her to tell what happened and the woman laughed at her and said she shouldn't have ran away, she should have just told the other woman she does not want to do. She was so shocked because of how nonchalant the other woman took the news. This is what the stay at home Igbo women do when their husbands are working hard to provide for them. Imagine undecided
lack of education is bad but half of it is dangerous. How old are you by the way? I live in Festac town by the way.
Romance › Re: Female Opinions Needed On How To Spice Up A Boring Relationship! by rhymz(m): 6:11pm On Oct 26, 2011
Mehn to be sincere, this guy's case describes my own case but in the reverse o. . . I fear I will be the one to get bored with this fine, nice gurl am dating at my work place.
My reasons are obvious; we work in thesame place and in thesame shift, besides people are already begining to run their mouths. We are both crazy about each other but I have some reservations about certain things she has openly told me she does not want.
1. she told me she is not interested in a relationship with sex: that I ve postponed to talk about it too often now but I ve told her that I never been in such relationship before though.
2. She has very strong views about putting troussers, earrings and even necklaces, and they obviously clash with mine. Though she is pretty without them but I love very fashionable women, my woman can't be an exception. I am hoping that with time and love she might change or at least moderate some of her views cos the love is very mutual, we call eachother like crazy even though we see eachother at work erry day.
Sometimes, I am tempted too to think that I am not being honest with my expectations in the relationship and may, like the OP's GF get bored quicker than I think if things don't go my way or atleast ease up a bit.
OP's post just awakened me to that reality!!

One fact I know is this, closet or not, homosexuals in Nigeria are nothing compared to the size in the west. People should stop exaggerating the figure. Fine, we acknowledge there are homosexuals in Nigeria but to give them the kind of importance and figure some of us here are trying to is ridiculous. They exist but in the minority and nothing serious to raise eye brow.

On the positive side, you do not hate SWerners again. That is a step on the right path

Dede1, I can not recall people shouting kill nyamaria in the war (according to history books) also if it happened, I am sure it was made by the soldiers not by the citizens.

Baifran armies must have done the same but of course not recording aka kill abokis. The war was done based on misunderstanding and it should be forgotten by now.

your arguments defiles simple logic. It does not matter how much uneccessary sophistication you put in your explanation, it is still no brainer for anyone to argue that this deal is not fraudulent. Your argument would have been valid if AMCON did not pump in money into the bank before dashing it to Access bank. If AMCON could come up with as much as 550billion naira, what stopped them from providing the pittance from Access bank. Unless the authorities are trying to give somebody the ownership of that bank on platter, the whole deal is shoddy. If the claim was that they did not want to get involved with the running of the banks then how come they did not exercise thesame restraint when it came to Bank phb, Afribank and spring bank. 50billion naira for a rescued bank and you want to go into uneccessary explanation, what an attempt.

kITA TITA:
Unfortunately the Igbo language is dying. I recently discovered that I am more comfortable speaking the English Language. I was born and brought up in Igboland of Igbo parentage. I am into cross cultural marriage and we don't speak Igbo at home, which is sad. I would have preferred it another way but that's the situation for now. Ndigbo now bear Okwy, Oby, Ify, Emuchay, etc. When two or more Igbo get together in London or Lagos or Abuja, they converse in English or Yoruba. The lingua franca in armed services in Nigeria is Hausa. Ndigbo who are the most travelled ethnic group in Nigeria seem to forget to take their language with them when they travel. I am equally guilty.
This is the most ignorant post that I have read on NL in a long while. Which Igbos converse with eachother in English Language? The ones in Alaba? Ladipo, Yaba? Balogun? Trade fare? Abeg which one. Some of you become so inferior that you begin to mouth off utter ignorance, just because you want to be accepted by your non-Igbo friends and look neutralized. Imagine the way you are busy in your ignorance boldly rapping about how it is not encouraged in your home and bla bla bla, Are you the man of your home or you play second fiddle to your non-igbo wife to keep the peace, you wimp of a man. Little wonder Igbo is dying in your house, speak for yourself, don't ignorantly clump others to share in your folly.
I know your yoruba pals like it when you sound self defeatist but which of them will even admit it that even their own language faces thesame threat? No? At least I know for a fact that Yoruba people make up to 45% of the Nigerian population in London, how many of their kids there can actually speak fluent Yoruba without any resort to helping themselves in English when it gets difficult. You all are quick to run your mouth and talk about Igbo parents, when right under your noses, you are confronted with thesame problems. Solve your problems before talking in judgemental tone about other tribe in your myopic views. Igbo language dying? What a laugh, you lot should leave lagos a little bit and interact with core Igbo bred families and childrien in the east and see how stooopid many of you sound.

MegaMan87:
Common shut your silly mouth you've never washed. I was simply stating a home truth but of course you couldn't take it could you? Igbo are too lazy to learn their own language. This isn't the case of "big bad yoruba pickin on poor old igbo again". It's actually what is happening. You got it spot on when you said Igbo people go and learn other peoples languages. Why then should they not learn their own? Why do most Igbo musicians sing in yoruba? Why don't Igbo filmakers make films using the igbo language? I'll tell you why, because most of the EBO actors/actresses don't even know the igbo language ha ha grin. They would rather speak English and put on a silly american accent or go and speak yoruba in yoruba films. We Yoruba could make films speaking English but why should we? There's no pride in that at all.  Sorry, but it's the truth. Why do Yoruba need to travel outside of Yorubaland? We TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD. We are everywhere and most of our parents teach us to be proud of yoruba and to either speak it or understand it atleast. Further more, why do Igbo people move into yoruba land? It's because they can't be bothered to do stay in SE where kidnappers and 419 boys run amok? Why is it they'd rather come to Lagos and live with us, speak OUR language? You Igbo can slam on about Lagos being "cosmipolitan" all you want but everyone knows that Lagos is the home of the yoruba. It's situated in SW not SE. No matter how many of you flood into the city like rodents.

Abeg, take your crybaby act elsewhere. I have no time for riff raff. lipsrsealed
Your ignorance is only exceeded by your own ignorance. Obviously, you are more interested in petty tribal mudslinging than argue intelligently. I won't indulge your stoopidity cos I am way above your league.
But let me counter some of your obviously ignorant statements and claims.
1. Your claims that Yoruba ppl speak their language than anyone else does theirs is based on a bias premise; unlike the itinerant Igbos who are likely to be exposed to the culture, language, tradition societal idiosyncrasies of their new place of abode, the yorubas are not predisposed to leaving the SW region. When they eventually travel, it is most likely still to other states in the SW region with virtually thesame way of life as their previous residence.
2. Your nollywoods reference is silly and lacks any substance, like I have always told you, Yoruba folks erroneously think that Nigeria ends in the SW, incase you don't know, Yorubas are not the only ones that make movies in their native tongue so stop beating your chest like that is some unattainable achievment, monkey. There are movies done in IGBO, Calabar, Hausa and so many other Nigerian languages. The other day I was in Calabar, most of the Nigerian movies I watched were done in calabar language and translated in good english. So all that bragging about Yoruba film being the $hit is as usual from an uninformed standpoint. That marketers, film makers and producers(who unfortunately for you are mostly Igbos) choose to do their movies in English language is obviously for a wider audience and reach, the considerations are purely business. Little wonder they do way better than your Yoruba movies which are only popular on the fringes- just in the SW and nowhere else.
So climb off your high horse and trek back to reality, yoruba movies are not the $hit, if they were, they wont need any image prodding by thesame Yorubas to make them popular. And it is stoopid for anyone to even try to contemplate any movie industry outside of Nollywood based on some unpopular language that is spoken by just a few million people, trust me, only Yoruba business men will do that. .lol
By the way, come off it with your uneccessary hyperbole, which Igbo musicians sing in Yoruba of all languages, kid are you dense??, lol
Can you specifically call the names of these Igbo musicians that serenade us in your "darlin" yoruba language??lol, What a DUNCE!! You just have to resort to stoopid petty lies to force your points, typical of a tribal jingoist. Call names abeg or just shut the hole in your ugly face, the stench from it is worse than garbage. At least, I know of a song, eyim oma by KWAM1 that was sung entirely in Igbo Language( even though his attempt was in poor taste), he prolly did that song as a tribute to his igbo friends.
As for the nonesense talk about igbos moving to Lagos, you are an ignorant MOFO that obviously do not know what he is talking about. Left to Yorubas alone, Lagos would have been no different from the other SW states that are ridden with poverty, riots, tribal clashes, armed robbers, lazy never do well bastard area boys, Adedibus and street urchins. Lagos is what it is today not because of the Yorubas so go take a stroll to hell, you have got no point. Perhaps we should place the othe 5 yoruba states side by side with igbo states and compare notes, lol.
Whether you like it or not, Yoruba ppl do nothing better than anyone else, they are just as human as the Igbos and will do thesame if faced with such exposure. By the way, how many Yoruba kids born and bred in London speak fluent Yoruba, Mr ITK?? Dont you see the folly of your endless rantingshuh

I am very Proud of Igbo People, we have got to be the most determined set of the black race. It is a common fact that the Igbo people have an even distribution of wealth than any other tribe, hence our better standard of living when compared to other Nigerian tribes. People make a lot of uninformed comments about the SS and most especially the SE, many of our SWestern brothers need to leave their comfort zone and see other part of the south and Nigeria at large.

Is the igbo language dying?
It's awful and a big shame to see most grown ups and kids in non-igbo states speak other languages and yet they cannot say a single word in their language.
I once asked a guy i knew why he cannot speak his language(igbo) and he said; if i can speak igbo, will it take me to london?
I was so ashamed.
Meanwhile, this guy got an "A" in yoruba language in WAEC!
My cousins born in lagos do not speak igbo. They're not even comfortable when others(igbos) speak.
I love yorubas and hausas in terms of language and culture preservation.
When a language dies, future generations lose a vital part of the culture that is necessary to fully understand it.
Yorubas or Hausas born outside their states, even in foreign countries speak their language fluently.
When an igbo man stays in abroad for 5yrs and comes home, he forgets his language and torments the people around him with English.
It's a big shame and -1 for them.
Something should seriously be done to prevent Igbo language from dying off.
The only place where the Igbo Language is dying is in your feverish mind. Your exaggerations are at best childish and alarmist. I was born and raised in Lagos, I can speak all three languages-Igobo, Yoruba and English equally well and so are many others of my kind. While I don't dispute that there are a lot of Igbo kids in Lagos that do not speak Igbo very well, however, uneccessary exaggerations like your claims of many Igbo kids that can't speak or understand come in Igbo only shows your are not representing facts but mere sentiments.
The only time one can honestly begin to scream about the gradual death of Igbo Language is if there are cases of childrien born and raised in Alaigbo who are oblivious of their culture and language. All this uneccessary alarm about kids who grew up in places like mushin, oshodi and the likes surrounded by core yoruba lower class people who speak nothing but Yoruba even at their school is no indicator of any death in Igbo language. Go to the Southsouth and Southeast before jumping to uninformed conclusions.

YES IT IS.

And it's solely down to the lazinesss of the IGBO people. I know Igbo people that understand Yoruba better than IGBO lol. What type of nonsense is that? Igbo people are to busy trying to give their children fancy English names because they think it's "trendy" cheesy. That's why it's hard for me to look upon Igbo people favorably. It speaks alot of your character when you can't even be bothered to learn your own language that your ancestors spoke proudly. Most of the "African Americans" on NL are IGBo and ask any of them if the can speak IGBO or if there parents taught it to them ha ha.  Of course they don't. In Igboland it's fashionable to behave like akata. grin grin

Every other Yoruba I know out here in London either speak the language or ATLEAST understand it. My parents instilled that Yoruba pride in me and the rest of brothers & sisters. Most Igbo parents don't even bother. It's a shame on their people. If the language dies it's up to them to resurrect it. Aslong as there's a Yoruba man/woman breathing whether in Nigeria or around the world breathing our language will be spoken and respected. Look at places like Brazil & Cuba where they still speak Yoruba.

The IGBO have no excuse. They should show a bit of pride, that's if they have any of course!!!
Guy shut your Dog Breath and yap your nonsense on things you know about.
The peoblem I always have with a lot of you Yorubas is the way you just sit in the SW and assume the whole of Nigeria and the world revolve around the SW. How many Yorubas do we actually have outside of the SW region in comparison to the itinearnt Igbo people. How many real Igbo families that do not reside in the SW region do you know that have childrien that can speak Igbo?
You think Yoruba people are the only ones that are proud of their language? Seriously, a lot of you need to travel outside your SW zone to other part of Nigeria, so you can make informed argument from the stand point of what you have experienced outside of the SW and not what cases whose results are very glaring to see. If the case was that Igbo people both in Alaigbo and outside do not bother to instill their culture, language and way of life on their childrien and wards, your uninformed argument would have been in context but to drag it to reckless generalization is to trivialize issues and indulge in the stoopid, mindless jingoism that has become NL's lifeblood and Seun's own strategy of generating internet traffic to his site.
Besides, I find your colourless humour of Igbos being bullied by Yoruba laughable, unless you made that statement to make your feel good about yourself, I would rather you give us instances of such bullying. You know better than to just make stooopid statements just to boost your badly bruised ego. Igbos are intimidated yet they have fearlessly entered every nook and cranny of Nigeria to do business, live with the locals, even learn their language and culture and you want to talk about being Bullied?? Until I go see any Yoruba man for the remotest part of alaigbo doing his thing and living averagely well like most Igbos in Lagos then your claims of bullying are at best placebo therapy to help you with a false sense of abilities you do not have but only wish for.
