FlowerPower: I continue to see posts stating "women age faster than men". If you are referring to physical appearance, this depends on where you live in the world. Most American women definitely do not "look" older than men of the same age. However, that does not stop old wrinkly men from chasing 20 year old girls. Stop working Nigerian women to death, and maybe their physical beauty won't fade so quickly.

cooldipo: I have been reliably informed that Mr Olayinka, the Chief Press Officer to the National Vice Chairman of PDP SW, Chief Segun Oni, .............. It is unbelievable and unaceptable for a journalist to be so subjected to such level in a democratic Nation like Nigeria..

tchaik: I heard that they were cultists! And with the signs they are making in this picture; they sure as hell were CULTISTS

seunowokade: This must be a big joke... I dont know what is wrong with our government expecialy Oyo State... No water, our roads are so bad, power failure is part of our system and all they could think of is demolishing and removing sign posts, Job Creation; for where.

kayles: Well opinion wld always be diverse.@Ziqqy, U̶̲̥̅̊'re a piece of work And wld need deciphering.

I'm sure U̶̲̥̅̊'ve got a sis too And she's aint no virgin, §o̶̲̥̅̊ U̶̲̥̅̊ shld start learnin how to respect women And adore them. Just incase U̶̲̥̅̊'re wondering i'm a guy like U̶̲̥̅̊ but i'm way too cooler than U̶̲̥̅̊ may think, §o̶̲̥̅̊ don't bother sizing me up cos it doesn't work. Cheers

Pennywise: You want her looking good. But you wont spend money on her because u are saving for a laptop. Dont worry. Some other guys you dont know will happily spend the money.

Luv Mercy: The girl can hardly boast of the guy spending upto #5000 on her in a month,and the guy is telling her not to cheat on him.

victorian: And the ones dreaming to have a virgin as a wife, end up been desperate to marry any babe, after waiting for years, no avail , or possibly after meeting some in quote virgins , they will then notice how stubborn or free for all, she is, after marriage. Karma is a bitch, my neighbours's wife, virgin for sure truly loves muscular guys on our street , especially when he is at work...no be talk am ooo .
so leave them guys, them still dey taste ...the georgeous ones are not yet born

seunfly: l is a short form of ni. Just like "can not" = "can't" note "not" turn to "t". But this happen alot in yoruba words/sentence. Eg mo ni owo = mo l owo, mohun lo ile = mohun lo le, mo na owo = mo na wo, ni owo turn to l owo.

StarFlux: Hello!

I don't understand the following:

Iya mi yoo fun mi l'owo. What does the l' mean? I'm aware of the ellisions which can mean say, at and be from "ni" or l without the ' which means have. I can fully understand the sentence as a whole, but the l' puzzles me.

knotty: Without a functioning rail system from source to loading vessels, your Iron ore deposit is useless.
The logistics of moving Iron is so huge that your price will never be competitive internationally except the grade is above 60%. Where will you get that.
Besides, USA/China have some sweet Iron Ore deposit that they can completely ignore Kogi State...Where on the map is that State again?

JallowBah: Warn your girl child never to sit on anyone's laps no matter the situation including uncles.
Wai, what? So because SOME people are perverts, you are gonna treat everyone as if they MIGHT be? And you do know that women also are abusers, not only men?

Avoid getting dressed in front of your child once he/she is 2years old. Lean to excuse yourself.
Why is this? Is it not better to teach the child that a naked body is a natural thing, not something to be ashamed of?

If you have to hire a house-help please kindly take them for HIV screening to determine their HIV status, properly interview them
and make up your mind to treat them well.
Is this even allowed??

Never allow any adult refer to your new born as ‘my wife’ or ‘my husband’
...why?

The rest I can somewhat understand, but still not agreeing on much of it.

cogitoErgo: ^^^ I think apart frm America, China nd co, Ausralia is also buying part of Nigeria!

Konmight: Ola Sa'ad Ibrahim is from Ilorin, Kwara State......OA Ihejirika is from Abia State......Badeh is from Adamawa State and Ezeoba former COA at DHQ is from Delta, northern Delta I think........We are all Nigerians Igbos or not.....Yoruba from Osun State just left the position of CDS and another Yoruba Ola Sa'ad Ibrahim from Ilorin has been promoted to CDS(Admiral, 4-star General). Let's forget about ethnicity and face the real problem of Nigeria.....Cheers.

Rooneyboy: This young man is going quite well but I think 7.5/10 is just too much for him ,
6/10 is just ideal.

StarFlux: Hello, again!

I was listening to dami duro by Davido, and was wondering what exactly it means.
I know duro means stop, and mi - me, so I assume ema dami duro means don't try to stop me, followed by the emi omo baba olowo (I'm a rich man's/father's son) but what does the da in dami mean?

I looked up try/attempt and i I found dan and da aba, so maybe the da is dan, so it means try? Would make sense. The reason I'm in doubt is because all the words set together is what I find very hard to learn.
