Amujale:
All the evidence (you know the one that eludes you?) proves that the N-word originates from the Spanish languages.

You're argument is flawed.

It is your argument that is flawed.
If the word "Aboki" which translates to "Friend" in Hausa, is used by a Southerner to mean "someone who is not smart, " does the origin of "Aboki" translating to "someone who is not smart" from Hausa or Southerners?

It's either logic is too big for you, or you're trying to play smart.


I still challenged you, bring a Spanish book or Spanish author who wrote "Niggér" to referred to Africans before John Rolfe did in the year 1619.

Amujale:
Goes to show you're pretending you can't read properly.

I've spoon fed you enough, I'm not going to waste my precious time on your flawed arguments.

You're actually meant to read the entire articles of the links.

The facts that you're arguing pointlessly against is what you missed within the sources you claim to have read, and is proof to that effect as well.

The facts are right there staring at you and you still carry on with your flawed argument.

Lol. Which fact

Show any Spanish book or Spanish author that used the word "Niggér" to refer to Africans before the year 1619?

All your links only mentioned how the original meaning of "niggér" which is color black is traceable to Latin which makes it factual. And I never disputed that. That's all. It never talked about how the Latin speakers were using "Niggér" to refer to Africans until John Rolfe did in 1619.
Bring your fact, which Spanish book or Spanish author used the word "Niggér" to refer to Africans before the year 1619?

Amujale:
That's completely and utterly false and disengenous.

The first recording of the use of the N-word was based upon the writings of the Spaniards and the Portuguese, especially the Spaniards.

I've told you exactly who they was writing about, they was recording the expeditions of the Conquistadors.

How did that part elude you?

You're totally wrong.
The first recorded "niggér" for Africans was written by an English man, John Rolfe.
Bring your proof, if it's otherwise.

OlayemiAshraf:
He might have "reading disorder "

He's probably from South South. Many of their villagers can even speak good English, but to read and write, mba.

Amujale:
Britannica and Washington Post aren't reliable sources in terms of this subject matter.

Wikipedia is a brilliant and reliable source, one that you haven't actually READ.

Assuming you wasnt bridling through the text and actually took the time to READ, then, you would have seen the quote within previous responses.

That was a direct quote from Wiktionary, I advice you to go to the Wikipedia article for the N-word and then come back here to make sense.

Niggér is a Latin derivative, which is not English. However, the first recorded "Niggér" word used for describing Africans, was made by an English man, not a Spanish.

Latin speakers knew the word "Nigger" as color black until English men began to use it to refer to Africans.

Hence, the word "Niggér" is factual because it's a word originally used in referring to black color, and it has been existing in Latin before the Europeans came in contact with the Africans.


It's like saying the word "Aboki" is not factual, when it is a language in Hausa, even if Southerners don't like to be called the name.

Hausa knew "Aboki" as "friend" in their language, until southerners began using it for something else.

Amujale:
It's obvious you have comprehension issues.

Kindly take the time to actually READ what is being said before responding, that way it won't sound as being nonsensical gibberish.

Is bringing proof too hard for you? Paste a credible link here that shows the word 'niggér' originated from Spanish.

Amujale:
Is that your response?

Really?

I'm asking you to go and research on anything that you may find hard to comprehend and this is your response?

I've researched already.

Paste your researched link here.

Amujale:
I ain't asking you to believe anything, rather go and research everything that's being said here.

Does your own research based on the clues presented here today.

That's all I'm saying.

Lol. Dey inside your room and be fooling yourself.

@Amujale, please stop fooling yourself about the word niggér coming from Spanish language. Bring proof from a credible source. I've brought Washington post, Britannica, wikipedia. Where is your source? Who is the first Spanish that used the word niggér?

Amujale:
All that is inconsequential gibberish.



Learn to reel yourself in line with reality.

As stated earlier, the N-word came about during the era of the Conquistador.

The last time I checked, these was Spaniards.

The Spanish Language is from where the N-word derives, I thought everyone knew this.

I guess everyone doesn't know that, well at the very least, you don't know this.

Again, take the time to actually read what was being said before you respond, that way it won't sound nonsensical.

Btw, the same Britannica that states that "Oba" is a Benin term, when everyone who is anyone knows that to be wholly false.

The source you posted is unreliable.

www.britannica.com/biography/Jesus

Here you have your source giving credence to a fictional character.

Is that the source you expect anyone to take serious?

Try again, this time find yourself a neutral source such as the one intervening here today.

There's no difference from you sourcing from the Pope's journals regarding the fictitious character they called Jesus Christ.

What else are you expecting the journals to say?

World history is my field of study, I'm not reliant on Eurocentric jibberjabber, I actually put in the work to reach these conclusions.

Hence I can state categorically that the N-word came about due to the Conquistadors, was later perpetuated by the Portuguese and had its highest usage during colonisation coupled with the horrific transatlantic atrocities.

Again, there was never a point in human history whereby the N-word wasn't made use of a derogatory term, from its inception up until today.

Assuming you have any proof to the contrary, kindly provide them here.

Therefore, you can pass me with all that nonsensical gibberish you wrote.

The bottom line is that the N-word is toxic and based on derogatory remarks.

Lol. Britannica is poor, Jesus is fictional. So it's you I should believe Or your village history book. Tell me more, please.

I can even marry a non-virgin girl, but she must have money and know that I will marry more than one wife.

What goes around comes around, West Coast supported this monster when it was East Coast time.
I remember Operation Python Dance is still fresh in my mind. Kill them all was the watchword from the West Coast.
Military never even start Una dun dey run, what if military start to d kill, that means Benin Republic straight
Never support evil or injustice bcs its favoring u, remember karma is real

"Nigerian East" don't have COAST. It's a landlocked area.

Amujale:
Thats a pure nonsense.

The N-word is toxic.

Furthermore, that toxic term actually derives from the Spaniards.

Yes, Spanish is a derivative of Latin, however, lets put things into their correct perspective.

Furthermore and having cleared that up, there are in excess of ten Spanish terms that translate to the colour black.

The history of that malicious term stems from the Conquistadors.

That is to say, and as a fellow NLander already pointed out (correctly may i add), that toxic term isnt factual, as in, its a Eurocentric contruct thar was invented solely to use as a derogatory term.

There has never been a point in human history whereby the 'N-word wasnt used as a derogatory term, from its inception up until today.

Lol.
It is what you wrote that is "PURE NONSENSE." And I wonder how you were blasting absolute gibberish thinking you're making sense. I won't even argue with you. Shebi it's only Spanish that was derived from Latin? Abi it was Spaniards that were originally using the word Niggà. Learn, history, mba, do simple google research, rara. Na to dey form rubbish upandan.

Lemme teach you High school History. The first recorded "Niggà" word was when "John Rolfe recorded in his journal the first shipment of Africans to Virginia in 1619, he listed them as "negars." "
Is John Rolfe Spanish? Ode.

According to Britannica "Latin language, is an Indo-European language in the Italic group and ancestral to the modern Romance languages. Originally spoken by small groups of people living along the lower Tiber River, Latin spread with the increase of Roman political power, first throughout Italy and then throughout most of western and southern Europe and the central and western Mediterranean coastal regions of Africa. The modern Romance languages developed from the spoken Latin of various parts of the Roman Empire."

Now that you know the Origin of Latin language, and how its derivatives of "Italian, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, Catalan, Romansh, and other Romance languages are direct descendants of Latin. "

"There are also many Latin derivatives in English as well as a few in German, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish." This is according Wikipedia.

Now, come and show me with proof, where the word "Niggà" originated from Spanish language, or how its usage in America originated from Spanish.

I'm not taking of governance.

Why was he absent from the Asaba meeting?

Bisi Akande's voice will determine if Oyetola will go.

Remember Akande has not issued a single statement condemning any of the Fulanis' criminalities in SW.

They're simply sympathetic to Buhari

They are not sympathetic to Buhari, they don't want to make the same mistake Abiola made. They know tough times never last, tough people do.

In as much Tinubu and his closest pals wouldn't make a wrong step, it'll be difficult for Buhari to short-changed him. Tinubu and his people are looking for a clean slate, such as if Buhari and the North would betray them, there would be no excuse as to why, everybody will see the betrayal of North as it is. It's a game of chess and until this moment, no clear winner.

Note that, even if the south wants to break away from Nigeria without too many casualties, they would need a "legitimate power". They can either get it internally by being at the helm of affairs like the North are doing at the moment, or seek outside help from powerful countries which is very difficult to get these days without having a "legitimate power."

Tinubu and his pals, need to be patient for less than two more years. Then we can know what's up.

SporaD8:
It is in their own interest that they speak out now or it might just get to that point where DSS, NA and Police will be waiting to treat them in the language they understand.
Seems to me like any meeting or gathering not approved by Buhari is a terrorist organization.
If it is done to Ipod and Odudua agitators without backlash, don't think our Governors will be spared!

Go and solve Lord Vary's riddle in GOT

LegendHero:
Nice one.

You guys need to be more assertive this time around and you should do the following.

—Tell FG that the lives of your people are in danger and your people are facing existentialist problems.

—Tell FG the police have failed in their duties and either they are complacent or the matter at hand is more than their capacity.

—Tell FG you have tried your best as governors with the security in your watch to stop the killing of the Fulani herdmen but your state securities like (Amotekun, Ebube Agu, and etc) are not able to face them because they don’t have sophisticated weapons and etc.

—Tell FG that at this juncture, you can’t continue to sit and watch while the killer herdmen continue to kidnap and kill your people.

—Set a deadline for all states in the South to formally pass open grazing in their respective state assemblies.

—Reinforce the Open grazing ban, ask why other states have not passed the law in their respective assemblies and ask what each state is doing to meet a certain deadline for the law.

—All the remaining SS governors should declare their own security outfit. They might make it state by state or a kind of regional system if they so choose.

Hence give FG the ultimatum below:
—You are giving FG 3 month to arrest the situation and make sure the killer herdsmen are pursued to the last man by the security forces to rid your respective states of these killers and kidnappers.

—Failure of FG to act and secure the South you will all test the limit of the constitution by arming your state security outfit with sophisticated weapons to be able to defend your land. Re-assert that you are willing to pursue this to any extent it take because you can’t keep shut no longer.


Southern governors, please test the limit of the constitution. You can’t continue to sit down and watch while these things are happening feigning powerlessness. The FG can’t fight you all at once, it is impossible. The FG derives her power from you all and the North alone don’t have the resources to ground the South if you are all truthfully United.

I trust Northern governors, if an Ijaw, Benin, Igbo or Yoruba people are killing people in the North like the Fulanis and the Southern president on the seat is doing like Buhari, the Northern governors would have armed their people openly against it without caring whose ox is gored.

Failure to be assertive like this by the Southern governors shows that they are the enemy of the South and all of them should henceforth be held accountable for every death by the Fulani herdmen in the South.

If our freedom fighters continue to fight alone, the FG will always find a lacuna to eradicate them because they are non-state actors and unfortunately they are also media drunk.

They should include all their senators and reps to make it obvious.

Praxis758:
The unity of southern governors is a big threat to the oligarchical dominance of the core north.

I won't be surprised if Oyetola, Ayade and Uzodinma will be absent at the meeting.

Some of these southern governors are sympathetic to Buhari's cluelessness, hence, the reason they will continue to sell their people's right to the Fulanis.

So far, Oyetola has managed his state better than Makinde. For the fact that he's APC man and he's a nephew to Tinubu doesn't mean he has no mind of his own. Give it to him man. He's better than that.

Mrdecent:
I see these guys being killed (igboho and kanu).
Then followed by any intending agitators. With the way things are going, Northerner politicians could ask yorubas and igbos to do a solidarity rally for them before they will stop killing them through fulani herdsmen soon.
These guys in govt are bent to subdue everyone. Next election will show everyone where they belong. It's well.

Go and solve Lord Vary's riddle in GOT.

pixey:
The recent Ndlea call for training will definitely put a lot of pressure on him.If he continues to remain on the stance of merit,the time and delay won't favour him in the aspect of credibility and reputation.

What are you saying gan gan? That he should bow to pressure or release the merit list quickly?

Away from that, Can North Withstand Southwest War let alone a United South?

Hmmm...

Many Sunday Igboho and MNK abounds down South. Sokoto should know that if it FINALLY AND TOTALLY COMES TO IT, NORTH WILL BURN!!!!

Who will burn it?? You guys still don't understand wars are won first with superior weapons, where will the south get superior weapons when their leaders are not in support of war?
Igboho who is parading himself as a warlord, you'd think he has anti-missile like Israel. But nope. Just some Guns not up to 100, with locally made bulletproof that can only work against smaller guns.

If the south wants to win any war, they need to fill a whole state with modern weapons full of heavy artillery. Then they can now start thinking of tactics to burn down the North otherwise, this is not some 18th century local or inter-tribal war.

Elock1:

Why does the odeshi recovered from Sunday Igboho's house similar to that of Ikonso?

Or do they patronize same juju man?

Same with the weapons a Lotta similarities.

Just thinking out loud.

Because the "science" is the same. Nigerians should stop believing in stupid jazz.
It is simply bulletproof with locally made materials. Nothing spiritual in that shit.

Emilokoiyawon:
study why the enslavers of African-Americans used the word. After you do that, then come back I tell me if you still think the n-word is a factual attribution. Until then, stop quoting me and waiting for me to do your homework for you.

Lol. Either you don't want to learn or you're just playing hide and seek game with yourself.

What is "factual?" = "using or consisting of facts" (Cambridge Dictionary)

The etymology of "Niggér" = "Nigger is derived from the Latin word for the color black, niger. According to the Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang, it did not originate as a slur but took on a derogatory connotation over time." (Washington Post)

Bro, be ready to learn.

Aboks:
God will neve ever send any body to behead his fellow

God is not that wicked

"But when the forbidden 4 months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practices regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."

Quran 9:5–5 (Translated by Yusuf Ali)

Emilokoiyawon:
The n-word is not factual. Try again.

You should study the etymology of the word "Níggér" then.
