Culture / Re: Similar Words Between Hausa/yoruba Languages And That Of Igbo/idoma by SoldierPikin: 3:32am On Nov 11, 2019
Many Nigerian languages are related or shares a comon influence.
When you examine the language of the ethnic groups around the confluence it beceomes obvious.

Oruka or "ring"in Yoruba is Erika in Idoma language.
Mallam or "teacher" in Hausa is Omale in both Igala and Idoma languages

Also don't confuse ORIGIN with LANGUAGE. The fact tht we use English language doesnt us englishmen.

His Problem was showing off, The corrupt monitoring Demon in Nigeria were looking for ways to robe him with an excuse to get money
People who hate to see people progress are in no short supply in Nigeria.

Properties / Re: Will A Tenant Pay During His 3 Or 6 Months Quit Notice? by SoldierPikin: 10:19pm On Oct 23, 2019
kelly72:
I am appalled at the depth of ignorance the Nigerian youth is sick of.
So this ignorance is real? So up till now you have not read smething
as simple as the tenancy laws of the State you live in. Anyways,
many of you are squatters who sleep on the floor, or you live under the
bridge, or taking refuge in a church or are even being housed and fed by parents
as a jobless 30 yr old No wonder politicians know their children
will take over and rule the olodos on Nairaland forever.

As for the poster, the purpose of notice to quit is to inform you that the landlord
wants you out in 3 or 6 months or as the case may be, so that you can spend that
time looking for an alternative. No law requires the landlord to become a philantropist
during that time. If you think the period should be for free, then answer these. If you receive a quit
notice;

1. Do you eat? Is the food for free?
2. Do you transport or buy fuel? Which comes free?
3. Do you make calls? You get vouchers free?
4. D you get free beer at the bar?

A year ago I gave one of my tenants the shocker of his life
My client built the 6 flats in 2012 and all tenants moved in same time.
This particular one became a problem within one year. He fought two
other tenants, the security guard, the landlord and even myself.

6 months before expiration of his rent I served him quit notice. He
boasted he would live there for 3 years and move away not paying.

Then I sued him at the Rent Tribunal. He and his lawyer came once and
thereafter stayed away. Happily but patiently, I argued my case and after
two years I got jugdment. The court ordered him to pay the N1.8 million rent
arrears including the six months notice period and quit within one month.
I refused to let him know about this until the one month had elapsed, then I
reported back to court that he neither paid nor quit and applied for an eviction order.
After listening, the magistrate granted my prayers.

The eviction order was to throw everybody found in that flat outside the gate
and bring all his property including his car to the court so that it could be auctioned
to pay his gbese. Then I liaised with the Sheriff and Police and after approval, a date was picked.

He had dressed up for work that day when we arrived at 6.am
Suddenly, the strong man was running helter skelter, kneeling before me, calling to beg
the landlord, asking people to intervene etc. We as he was doing this, the dutiful
sheriff were busy bringing down all his property and loading them in the truck

To cut it short, that was how a deputy manager was left stranded outside the gate as
the truck drove off and his Jeep followed. 3 weeks later, he went to the Sheriff section and
paid N1.8 million to to redeem his property and the call me to come take my money.

So be careful. Don't listen to the dumbos who tell you here "It is free naa"

If your landlord hire me peren, I will castrate you oo.
I need your services. How do I get in touch?

Travel / Re: Is This Extortion By The Nigeria Post Office? by SoldierPikin: 12:46pm On Oct 06, 2019
dumodust:
They add the charge from customs
What people don't know is that all sent or imported goods has to pass through customs and 2 laptops will be billed and can get to that amount

I think it's official and calculated
There's always a receipt available, you can take it and if you see any wrong doing, make a complaint

Just be aware that customs duties are paid worldwide on all couriered goods

When I was in the states, I never paid import duties to order any consumer goods. Nigerians are oppressing themselves.

This is really bad!
I was going to use them but will not.
Now they are shifting responsibility to their "partner courier".
Any business that takes your money to perform a service should be 100% responsible when unable to perform.
Plus what I am hearing about fraud is unfortunate and will ruin your business.

Family / Re: Husband Cheated With Previous Child's Mother by SoldierPikin: 4:23pm On Jun 18, 2013
Tammy13:

No i did not trap him. When i became pregnant she was not in the picture. She also kept him from seeing his child at the time. As I mentioned above, she left him when we met. We planned to get married, he asked to marry me. And i believe she found this out through his family members. Since then, it seems as if she is determined to get him back. it has been hell. She talks to his mom about how bad of a father he is then i turn around and they sleep together. I think when she wasnt in the picture he only had eyes for me, but whenever she allows him to go back to her sexually, he will. Its sad

In short, you took another woman's man and are upset that he misses his ex.
Where do you live again?

Part of the reason you have little let to stand on is because your relationship as well started wrong and with poor boundaries.

Realize that and repent first before you can deal with the problem.

memes: HELLO EVERYONE , I DON'T THINK THEY NEED ANY DNA TEST, BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN BEFORE IN NIGERIA. MY MOTHER GAVE BIRTH TO TWIN GIRLS BUT ONE WAS BORN WITH A GOLDEN HAIR AND A LIGHT SICK THAN THE OTHER. WE USE TO CALL HER GOLDEN CHILD. AND AM SURE THAT MY MOTHER HAS NOT SEEN A WHITE MAN BEFORE, SO IS THE ACT OF GOD. BUT MY SISTER THEY SHAVE OFF HER FIRST HAIR AND IT GREW BACK BUT NOT AS GOLDEN AS BEFORE, ONE OF MY YOUNGER HER ONE PART OF THE HAIR COLOUR IS BROWN I MY SELF HAVE A GREY HAIR. LET WAIT TILL THE BABY SHAVE OFF HER FIRST HAIR.

I have seen it too. One of my friends (one igbo girl like that) has bright skin and has reddish, blonde hair and her mother and father are very black. Her sister was born looking like the child in this story.

I would have thought it strange if not for seeing that my friend. Yes, the child's hair will darken with time.

Politics / Re: Fulani Herdsmen Kill Over 50 In Agatu, Benue State by SoldierPikin: 5:47pm On May 14, 2013
Nigerians, do not be deceived.

Herdsmen do not carry rocket launchers and Ak-47s. This was hitherto one of the safest places in Nigeria. Someone's mischief is causing problems.
Politics / Re: Fulani Herdsmen Kill Over 50 In Agatu, Benue State by SoldierPikin: 5:44pm On May 14, 2013
maasoap: Let Fulanis be, stop attack on them and their animals as it is obvious to all and sundry that Fulanis dont attack but only carry out repraisal attacks. Even if their animals destroy farms, there should be another way to address the issue of destruction of farms. It takes 6 months for food crops to mature but many years for animals to mature. And also, the economic loss of a single farm of one acre cant be compare with the loss of two to three animals. The solution lies in compensation to farmers by the Fulanis with the involvement of govts.

Who told you that the people who 'attacked' the herdsman are even locals?

Do you know the characteristics of the natives before you made this statement?
Or are you like the Americans who invaded Iraq without knowing the local dynamics?

Agatu are known as the most peaceful and hospitable among all Idomas. They have welcomed Fula for over 70 years without incident. I suspect mercenaries and outsiders are involved. Google "false flag" operations.
Politics / Re: Tafawa Balewa Was An Intelligent Man by SoldierPikin: 3:49pm On Mar 28, 2013
Bobandgreat: [color=#000099][/color]

I have always known that Northerners are very intelligent. Eventhough it took me many years to dispell some of the stories i heard about them as a kid. For example, i said to my self, if these guys have the brain of a cow, how come they have been ruling u ever since, that means I have a lesser brain than the cow. I also reasoned that if these guys were dumb, how come they are able to exert such control on the Yorubas with all their profs.
In my class in the University, i had one northerner that i loved so much because the guy was practicaly a genius. He knew the answers to mathematical questions without writing anything down. I therefore concluded that, though most northerners dont go to school because of Islam, those that go to school are highly intelligent like geniuses.

@lagerwhenindoubt, that ur chanting up there is what Boko Haram chant just before they kill. Are u one?


"Notherners" are as diverse as anyone else. Once you spend time with them and get to know them, you will learn about the many differences and cleavages in their cultures. There is in reality no monolithic "North" aside from politics and a lingua-franca.
On thing is their elites have a benefit of hundreds of years head start in reading and writing (not in English),governmental administration, dealing with multi-ethnic kingdoms, and tax collection.

Of course, the average northerner suffers from the same problem that the average Nigerian suffers from but probably worse today as the greed of their leaders has drastically increased and the importation of poor Western values social values are at odds with their simplistic lifestyle and family values. Unfortunately the knee jerk reaction in some corridors has been to import other values and a brand of Islam not known to Africa, much to the detriment of all.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Why Is Gaddafi A Pan-africanist When Arabs Generally Dont Like 'black' Africans? by SoldierPikin: 8:03am On Mar 14, 2013
tpiah!:
since he's berber and rather traditional it seems, its likely he either has some black or mixed relatives in his family, or at some point has interacted closely with darker skinned people while he was growing up.


just finding out now that he used to meet people in the traditional bedoiun tents:

http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,2058074_2253594,00.html

and his son saif looks a bit black, actually.


That is true. GGaddafi was no arab, or at least not considered Arab enough by the Arabians. He was a berber, an African indege. There are black and white berbers and everything in between.

His mother is rumoured to have black blood, which one can confirm in this video.

Romance / Re: Yoruba Women (and dating) by SoldierPikin: 5:51pm On Feb 06, 2013
Da Doctor:

Truly. wat you read is how it is.

if you are in naija just walk around or be involved in a rel wit a yoruba lady making conscious effort to study their traits then confirm same as true.

When i was dating a yoruba lady, immediately i arrived their house the parents says' OKO RE TI DE O ZZZZZZZZ'

and when i am in they at times ask her to take me to her room or at times they ask her if she wont follow me home over the weeknd. this family mind you is very rich. a former COMM OF POLICE IN OLD LAGOS.

SEvery culture has its short coming, this is one for the yorubas. a yoruba woman get married even when she has 2 children from different men at home, but in Ibo land it wouldnt be too easy a thing.

infact i just rest my case.
The highlighted portion I can relate to.
I'm dating a Yoruba girl for the first time. She's sexy and cooks well sha. The only thing is that when here parents were visiting her place in the US, I went to her house to greet them. After A few days the father said I should spend the night and it's ok to stay in her room.

According to my culture, that is unheard. My girlfriend though insists that is her dad's way of showing he accepts me as a son.
Nairaland help me ooo! I am confused. undecided
