You can tell countless cases where civilians robbed off people's hard-earned money on military camo. Give Caesar what rightly belongs to him. At least, that will help to keep the society healthy

God, what kind of country is this? People priced out of their conscience just because of some morsels of food. The political environment we are polluting today will of certainty take its revenge on our children tomorrow. Let us not be sold for a spoon of crispy mint cos things get worst immediately a man fails to call a spade by its name.

Education / English Stole So Much From Igbo Language by stansaintly(m): 8:27am On Jan 31, 2017
''Before English there was Igbo. Igbo is the lost tribe of Israel''

Igbo kwenu! I always feel like crying whenever I see teachers or parents flog their children because they were speaking Igbo language. They want their children to speak English not knowing that the English they want their children to speak was borrowed from Igbo. Do you know that there are more than a thousand words in English, French, Latin, Hebrew and other languages that were borrowed from Igbo Language. Did I just hear you say ''na lie'' ? Ok. Because of space, let me only give you 25 English words stolen from Igbo language. If you need more, you can contact me.


1. Cherubim – Borrowed from Igbo phrase ‘’chere ubim’’ which means ‘’guard my home’’

2. Book – Borrowed from Igbo phrase “bu uka’’ meaning ‘’carries the facts’’

3. Water – Stolen from Igbo word ‘’wuta’’ which means ‘’pour’’

4. Nurse – Coined from the phrase ‘’noro nso’’ meaning ‘’stay near’’

5. Animal – Coined from the Igbo phrase ‘’anu malu’’ which when translated means ‘’meat that knows’’ or ‘’flesh aware of life’’ or ‘’meat is conscious’’

6. Bank – Got from the phrase ‘’uba na aka’’ meaning ‘’wealth at hand’’

7. Harlot – Coined from ‘’ha laa otu’’ meaning ‘’they had sex’’

8. Say – stolen from Igbo word ‘’Si’’ which means say

9. Answer – got from ‘’nsa’’ which means ‘’response’’

10. Carpenter – coined from the phrase ‘’ka apita’’ which means ‘’carve out’’

11. News – got from ‘’nu zuo’’ which means ‘’hear it all’’

12. Soccer – coined from ‘’oso ka’’ which means ‘’running is greater’’ or “there is more running done’’ or ‘’greater at running’’

13. Patrol – got from ‘’puta uli’’ meaning ‘’come out for strolls’’

14. Sabbath – coined from ‘’Asaa bu taa’’ which means ‘’today is seventh’’ or ‘’seventh is this day’’

15. Amen – got from ‘’ya mee nu’’ which means ‘’may it be done’’

16. Genesis – coined from the phrase ‘’jee na isi isi’’ meaning ‘’go to the very beginning’’

17. Conquer – got from ‘’nku ka’’ which means ‘’break down’’

18. Queue – borrowed from ‘’kwu" or ‘’kwunye’’ meaning ‘’join in’’

19. Music/Musical – got from ‘’mee uzu ka’’ which means ‘’make the greatest noise’’

20. Quote – got from ‘’kwute’’ which means ‘’make mention’'

21. Page – coined from ‘’pia jie’’ meaning fold

22. Boy – got from ‘’bu oyi’’ which means ‘’be friend’’

23. Girl – coined from ‘’ga alu’’ meaning ‘’will marry’’

24. Embassy – coined from the phrase ‘’mba zie’’ which means ‘’nations message’’ or nation send

25. Catastrophe – coined from the phrase ‘’akata asi tufia’’ meaning ‘’when mentioned the Igbos eject saliva from the mouth and say ‘tufia’ ‘’


Hope you are now convinced that before English there was Igbo and Igbo is the lost tribe of Israel. For those who don't know, Igbo is a tribe from south eastern part of Nigeria. Read more about them here. How una see am. Igbo Kwezuo nu! Let's go

Politics / Re: Photos From PDP NEC Meeting In Abuja by stansaintly(m): 3:13pm On Jan 26, 2017
PDP and APC are the offspring of the same mother (Corruption). They shared the same blood and sucked the same breast, so, one can't be better than the other because they are identical.

No wonder they often say "if a soldier slap you u go know say police na ya friend"

If I were to choose, PDP was a better offer cos life was not as harsh as it is currently.

Maybe there was nothing like DSS and EFCC during Oga Jona's regime.

Maybe they went for a vigil during that period

Maybe Oga Jona was too good to allow people their freedom of speech.

Maybe, just maybe we are not practicing democratic government anymore.

Foreign Affairs / Donald Trump Has A Business Centre In Onitsha by stansaintly(m): 6:21pm On Nov 27, 2016
You can always recognise Nigerians by their ways of making best use of opportunities. Like they say, ”we no like to dey carry last”.
You won’t believe what was spotted in Onitsha lately. It was a banner of a business shopping center named ”Donald Trump business center”.
It was gathered that you can purchase different household wares to clothing items there, hmmm?

The most painful part of of it is that those thieves who have milked our national cake dry, parading their tommy with looted funds as if they are suffering from okija shrine torture can't allow their children to have a taste of the eyesore.

Man (Africans) especially Nigerians are the most dangerous specie. They don't send their fellow so long as their children are not affected.

Everyday breeds new hope for his quest. Something tells me he's close to succeeding.

Spot on. Let a spade be called by its name.
