tomba: she's a virgin, religious and hardworking. Does dat make her the perfect wife material?

A wife is a woman that will build you a good home. The home include happines, peace, progress trough partnership, be ur bestfriend for ever, share the same vision, work toward the same goal, train up your child in the way of the lord, be humble and obidient, industrious, high moral value etc
Although being a virgin is an added advantage as it will be like a crown on the head of a beautiful king.

How ever since you mention that she is religions, i guess she could build you a good home. because any body that is truly in the lord will never miss step. The bible says the steps of the righteous are odered. But pray more and seek the consent of God.

StarFlux: Why add the sì after mo?

This is not picking. I just want to know more!

In this sentence "si" is an adverb, it show the degree of something and it equivalent is "still" or "more".

Ṣùgbọ́n a ń gbìyànjú kọ́. Mo fẹ́ràn èdè Yorùbá, mo sì fẹ́ kọ́ Yorùbá sí.

Although you are still correct if you did not put "si" in it
example:
mo fe ko yoruba si.
I want to learn yoruba more.

Compare with the first sentence:
mo (sì) fẹ́ kọ́ Yorùbá sí.
I (still) want to learn yoruba more.

Mo ni ero pe aroye mi ye o fini fini?

Eze Promoe: Interesting! I'll like to learn the language. I'm I welcome?

my friend it is my pleasure.

Topeedo: THE REASONS FOR MARRIAGE IS NOT JUST FOR CHILDREN BEARING SO IT SHOULD NOT BE THE CRITETIA FOR MARRIAGE...DO NOT BE DECIEVED...IF A CANNOT MARRY AND LOVE YOU WITH OR WITHOUT CHILDREN, THEN THE MARRIAGE IS NOT WORTH PUTTING YOUR WHOLE LIFE INTO...MARRIAGE IS A LIFE LONG THING

Ladies sef......... Na wa O, they will say that they can't marry a guy without security (money) that it make love better and marriage good. But without child, it does not mean anything to love WooooOOW.

Listen carefuly fruitfulness is the ultimate reward of any cooperation or union in any aspect of life which include marriage. The more it bears fruit the more you want to be commited to it. My sis and bro let me tell you no matter how much you love a union, group, organisation or cooporation if result or reward or fruitfulness is not coming, you will get discouraged and that is when your commitment will start to wane.

Now don't get it twisted, am not saying it is good for a man to abandone his wife because of childlessness or vice-vasa especialy those inocent ones that are not guilty of abortions or other reckless actions but child increase love and commitment in marriage. i ve seen men that became more responsible after thier first child. If not whare does the expession THE MOTHER OF MY CHILD come from?

[quote author=kiss_angel]I don’t support the statement about "the way woman mess themselves these days" can a woman mess herself up without a man?[/quote]my sister i disagree with your statement, yes men come but ladies determine wether they want to or not. You don't blame what ever you can control, you blame your self for failing to control it. If you know you will be messed by a man why give him chance.

Sometimes i shed tears when ladies talk about doing abortion 3 times for a particular guy all in d name of love, i wonder is it love or recklessness yet you will want to blame the guy instead of the girl for allowing such thing.

Men are evil but girls should resist the evil not allow it and then justify that they are evil. One thing about evil is the more you resist them the more they reduce in the society at large.
Please don't get me wrong am not crusifying anybody neither am i claiming to be holy, It include us all.

StarFlux: Oh, ok!

Jesus said: it is the hand of those that do not have that we have collected and given to those who have. Is this correct? But that would mean maa shouldn't be there? I can understand it quite well now thanks to you. Still seems a bit complicated, and I will refer from using thesse forms for when I write until I know them 100%.

E se pupo!!

my dear on that maa issue, please forgive me i did not know it is from the sentence.

Maa from the sentence means "will"

i guess i missed because of the tone.

Jesus said: it is the hand of those that do not have that we have collected and given to those who have.

Jesus said: it is from the hand of those that do not have that we will collect and give to those that have.

Your interpretation was right but if you include (maa) "will" you will get the correct and complete sentence like mine.

Ma binu si mi , se o ti gbo.

StarFlux: Another example:
Jesu ni: ni owo eni tí ko ni l'a ti maa gba fun eni t'ó ni. The second "ti" here is mid tone, is it just a grammatical error or it it suposed to be like it? (There are many writing/grammar errors in this book I have noticed).

Also, what does maa gba mean?

I'm afraid I don't fully understand this and it occurs too frequently for me to ignore. I understand what you said in the previous post, but I still can't get the grasp of it
I'm starting on my other book now. I hope it can fill the gaps that the other book didn't.

Another example:
Jesu ni: ni owo eni tí ko ni l'a ti maa gba fun eni t'ó ni. The second "ti" here is mid tone, is it just a grammatical error or it it suposed to be like it? (There are many writing/grammar errors in this book I have noticed).

It is correct, it is niether high nor low tone. I think it is flat.


Also, what does maa gba mean?

Well the word gba could be written and pronounced diffrently depending on the tonal effect, but i will asume 3 meaning.
(1) gba: to hit
(2)gba: to collect, accept, recieve, give etc
(3) gba: to dupe
(4) gba: agree
maa: negate the words it came before.
So which ever the maa gba it may be, it mean don't gba(any of it meaning) eg don't give, don't dupe, don't collect, don't accept etc.

StarFlux: Ok, so pretty much the same question (or similar).

Kini mo ni tí(high tone) won ni mo ni aniju? Is tí here another term used to specify?

Alaini l'ó(high tone) ni eni t'ó(high tone) ni ko nii jeki oun ni. What exactly does t'o especialyl mean here?


Another example:
Jesu ni: ni owo eni tí ko ni l'a ti maa gba fun eni t'ó ni. The second "ti" here is mid tone, is it just a grammatical error or it it suposed to be like it? (There are many writing/grammar errors in this book I have noticed).

I'm starting on my other book now. I hope it can fill the gaps that the other book didn't.

In the two sentences the ti won and t'o means the same thing, they are like discribing. They both means (that) in that sentence. The diffrence between them is (o) singular and (won) plura. Mind you, t,o = ti o singular expresion while ti won is plura.

With my layman analysis i think ti o/ni o (high tone) are usauly discriptive or specify in most sentences and you can figure out what it means by understanding the sentence it self.
Example:
Kini mo ni tí(high tone) won ni mo ni aniju?
What did i have (ti) ''that'' (won) ''they'' said i have too much?

Alaini l'ó(high tone) ni eni t'ó(high tone) ni ko nii jeki oun ni.

The poor will say that(t'o) the rich will not let him to be rich
T'o here also means (that) in singular

Default01: Seunfly why u de lie,u fit compare delta wit any state 4 southwest my guy we ar having difficulties nw bt we wold overcom.delta state in terms of healthcare has d best facilities and doctors.asaba airport is working and is a winner even b4 being commissioned.delta state hav nt even taped 1/4 of our resources,we ar buildin a new delta state 4rm d scratch lagos wont see our backs wen we hanes just 50% of our resources.god bless delta state,haters kep hatin while delta state is moving

My brother am not here to condem your state neither am i here to conpare states, region, tribe or politics. Am talking as a Nigerian and the good of delta is my good directly or otherwise. That is why i said the 37billion can do better things like road, hospitals, boost agriculture, inprove education and develop tourism. Instead of two airport which may not be useful. Please tell me how many Nigerian fly? How many deltan fly? Compare it with population that eat agric produce, hospital, education, road etc.

geovanni24: S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ painful...seems they were poisoned by an insider...the dead was have been masterminded by a hater....ii pray Nemesis catches up with the Miscreant!

you can claim that for now especialy whare thare is no evidence. The first suspect is hydocyanic acid from casava, may be after that is ruled out we may find other means.

It's like this man is sick in the head, who want to fly to a state with bad roads, a state without infracstructures, little or no industries, little commercial, agricultural and medical activities, a state in which her tourism potentials is not developed. Even some state that are better than that (Calabar , taraba, kano etc) have little of air travelers internationaly. So why can't he invest in any of this instead of two airports that will be empty at the end.

Peaple should try and check this guy's profile and some of his past post before they comment. That is when they will know the approprate response.

obasy09: I think OP made a mistake. 'Security' is ambigous. One could be secured money-wise or secured sexually. It could have been between 'money' and 'sex'

my dear it is nothing other than money, no be Nigerian girls, if na se.x that one full every where.

ogugua88: Out of the three you listed? Security.

In general, I love whatever makes me happy.

i know it will be money.

Dlyna: That d'banj and Timaya have made more money than you'll ever dream of. Why aint our professors, teachers, and writers so rich and respected.
You think they are good for nothing abi? Because they are musicians. If you don't know those guys that look like nothing good to you have made some westerners not to think that we are all cave men in this country.

What's your own contribution to this country with all the books you have read?

I guess you are one of the youth he is talking about.

(1) just because you see dbanj and timaya on tv and publicity which part of their marketing strategy make them the best Nigeria can produce over professors, another intelectual laziness.
Can you please name 3 american professor now and name 3 american artist.
(2) just because dbanj and timaya have money so they are better than the professors and others another sign of wrong mindset and lack of inteligence.
Money is not everything my dear can you tell me how rich is wole soyinka, darwin, albert, ben carson, newton and others that contribute to sustainability of live.
Unfotunatly u are using their work yet u think they are valules
(3) don't you know that the more you read the better you are, infact you will not be making this kind of argument if you are informed, and you can only get that trough research and deep reading.

Am just wondering, if you as a lady will allow the guy who is toasting you to go for your friend if you don't give him chance on time.

Girls will you? Guy can you go for her friend.

tevinsolt: when science has failed you, where/who do you turn to?

bilms: I am not attacking Fashola, believe me, i am only not in support of most of his policies which is circled around inflicting more pains of the poor in the name of beautifying a state.

so because of beautification and okada ban, you went that far to say your sister or na anty's husband was shot twice in the chest. Haabaa!!! Be carefull what you wish for.

I guess that the flowers and the green trees planted in the enviroment is what you are refering to, if so please go and read about it's inportance in our enviroment especialy city like lagos which emite large amount of CO2, SO2, CFC and lead compound from our outdated cars and equipments before you display your ignorance publicly.

No wonder peaple used to call Nigerians educated illitrate, i guess it's because of peaple like you.

Kai!!!!!!!!

See wetin nairaland don turn to. Me am off to bed oooO0!

Wallie: Not to pour sand into anyone’s garri but most of the people you think are super wealthy are not! Just because someone blows a few million dollars doesn’t make the person the wealthiest!

A divorce case in the Western world truly brings out the true/perceived worth of an individual. You have to recognize that the woman is trying to get the most money she can, which will mean that she will reveal every source of income she knows the guy has.

Are there people out there that are truly worth more money that Forbes accounts for? Yes. Almost everybody listed is worth more because income that’s not publically listed is not taken into account.

For example, any income from any of Dangote’s businesses that is not listed on the stock exchange is not taken into account.

Also, exactly when did Dangote break the $2 billion threshold after umpteen years doing business? When he got listed on the stock exchange. Why do you think companies go public?

My point is you can only become 13 billion dollar rich by “including” other people’s money into your wealth! You have something that people think is valuable and they invest in it! People are investing in you because they believe you can return value for their money. NOBODY in Nigeria, either dead or alive, is richer than Dangote.

For Fernandez to be sued for $300 million by a woman that has being with him since the 80s means that the number is a high approximate value of half his wealth, which includes properties, yachts, bank accounts and businesses. PERIOD. As an attorney, you shoot for a very high number to scare the guy into settling! Or are you going to say someone that knew him that long wouldn’t be privy to businesses he owned?

Even people that steal billions of dollars end up deceasing the loot significantly due to ongoing expenses because they don’t know how to replenish that kind of money. They also have to be careful where they invest the money; otherwise, people will start asking questions.

so Roman Abramovic that pay $50million in divorce is not worth more than $100million by you

pedestal82: Funny Nlanders! If the news where to read, "foregn reserve falls
from 42 to 10 billion dollers". All u guys saying how an increase
Affects u, will start calling for Gejs head. Since its now an increas
It doesn't affect u. But if it falls it affects u, and the
Interpretations will no longer be jargons! Mchewww

Na today you know nairalanders, they are just bunche of critics. No matter the news it is only criticism that will come out of it. If gov increase reserve they will say no road if gov spend they will say no savings, if gov pay internal debt(subsidies, contracters etc) they will say gov pay their political friends/corruption if gov did not pay they will talk. We just criticise irrespective of gov position. And that is why we always get bad news from our gov.

[quote author=Joe.]my dear brother, we should have to make a retreat about tongue-lashing our girls and make people think that nigerian girls are the worst in the world. You may have had one or two bad experiences with them but that isnt enough to calumnize them. Maybe we should stop this '9ja gurls' branding because it seems to connote immorality and irresponsibility which i dont think generally apply to every girl of nigerian extraction.[/quote]Mr friend why won't we say our mind about them? You said one or two experiences, is that not enough to have two experiences out of how many? To be sincer if you give nija girls chance she will ride you and dump you.

What is it about ladies past that they always want to hide or they don't want us to borther about.

They always take it because of two things 1 the way we use to connect light into our street is not standard, most of the live wires are loose and lack seprators so when wind is blowing they touch and it damage the transformers.

2 most of our poles are wooden and weak so when it rain thare is tendency of some falling down which will increase risk of electrocuting the public.

So phcn meant well when ever it's raining and they swicth of power grid.

bilms: Many believed that the Lagos State Governor,Babatunde Raji Fashola performed well in his first tenure as Lagos state governor,but few still believed that now in his second term.

Would we say Many wrong/intentional anti people's policies or wrong/intentional anti people's decision?

Without doubt,many that believed he work well in his first term accept that he his doing so bad this second term.

The Ondo state Governor,Dr.Olusegun Mimiko also ride on his good performance in his first term to secure a second term office just last week,i pray that he should not be like Fashola in his second term.

what is wrong with peaple like you who just judge out of hatred, sentiment and envy. Mimiko must have tried for his peaple to have re-elected him but the truth must be told i have not seen any governor who have try like fashola in thier second term. Is it rotimi, obi, babangida or who? Please stop this hate or jealous campaign. So that our nation can move forward.

afam4eva: I knew that there's no way these Okada riders will sit and watch their only source of livelihood being denied them.

Must they do okada to earn income, thare are many things they can do apart of okada and thare are many cities they can be beside Lagos, that they will live better than their present status at the same time contribute to the country's economy rathern problems they are causing right now

StarFlux: (1) I said I used your dress.

(2) Use the question I have asked. (Not 100% sure what bi means.) I know there are at least three versions of bi, ask, deliver baby, throw up. So I assume it means question. Actually one of the first words I learned!

(3) Don't know. Ewo - which one, fe - want, but I don't know "nu". A wild guess: which one is it you wanted to use for (something).

I have a question, again. This sentence:

Sofa meji l'o wa ni palo naa. WHY is l'o in this sentence? Whenever this or t'ó occurs I dey shake my head.
Also, these sentences:

(1) Bola nibe l'o ti nbo? WHY?

(2) Ile naa ni palo nla ati kisini t'ó tobi.

I understand this: Ologbo mi l'oba eranko. Because the meaning is obvious, but when it comes to the above sentences, I am clueless. My book doesn't explain ellision very well. But it does say sometimes it's not easy to explain. However, ellision is not the only problem, I don't understand what l'o, or t'ó is supposed to mean at all because that sentence looks fine to me without.

l = ni
ni o/l'o is another word without meaning but have a technical function something like (is, are).
So in the sentence it is like this
(1) Sofa meji l' o wa ni palo naa.
Same as:
Sofa meji ni o wa ni palo naa.
However you are also correct if you say

Sofa maji wa ni pala naa.
But the first sentence is more discriptive than the other, it is just like you say:

Am going home.
Instead of
i am going home.
AGAIN the l'o or t'o is technical it is just like (is, are) in english language.

In sentence (2)
(2) Ile naa ni palo nla ati kisini t'ó tobi.
Note the ni here is diffrent from the other ni o/l'o if you put the tona sign so they mean diffrent thing and are pronounced diffrently. However t'o here serve discriptive (ti o) tobi, just like (is) big.
