"It is still peopled by the people of the Akwa-Cross"

Yep, this is a sentence from the self acclaimed "lexical god"

S.tupid community college educated dog.

DerKaiser:
Oh get lost you dog.
Nobody is asking for you miniscule and irrelevant support in tackling the Hausas or Yorubas. Igbos are more than capable of going at it alone.

Take your scrawny looking ąss out of here.

The Chris guy specifically called your Ibibio people lazy of which I believe he is right. He never made mention of the other Akwa-Cross group.

Even the other Akwa-Cross group tearing your Ibibio to shreds corroborated what the Chris dude said.

Cursed 404 devouring animal. You do not know how intangible you are honestly that is why you have the effontery to mention the great Igbos in your useless ramblings.

Igbos are always pitiful.

You hate your South-East so badly that you always try to lay claims to other people's lands. PESTS!

Your Ngwa people are cannibals!

By default, an Anambra man is a ritualist.

Igbo women are leeches. CHINO11, an Anambrarian, keeps reiterating that IMO STATE WOMEN ARE PROSTITUTES.

I beg you get an _orgasm every you see our good roads.

Your women even kill their husbands to own their properties.

You have widows' clubs.

Isaac, I bet your dad considered sacrificing you.

We will always use and dump you. You've been termed "SOUTH-SOUTH ABOBAKUS" by the Yorubas.

cheruv:
Babe you guys have an umbrella name and its called Mmong(Mmoño as my people call it). Now stop being divisive and embrace your fellow Mmoño people.
While you're at it,can you provide me with the list of the efik alphabet
I'd wanna start learning Mmoño

Alas! A true Igbo man! Thanks for laying to waste that charade of enduring love for us. Eyen Amauke!

I bet there's a member of every Igbo family in jail for fraud! I wouldn't be surprised to find out that you pilfered the phone you use.

You are as fake as what your kinsmen sell.

Igbo boys sell fufu encased in phones! I bet you've considered money rituals. I bet you plan to use your mum!

Anambrarians eat snakes!

Ebonyis eat HOUSE RATS!

Accursed parasitic leprechauns!

Bring it on!

pazienza:
Stop already.

Whatever Ndiigbo lost in Biafra, most of them can be replaced with money, and had been replaced.

But the Ibibio- Annang- Efik people lost Bakassi, their ancestral land, and money can't buy that back.

And just as Igboland was deserted by the Arewa-Oduanistans after the war so was your lands.

We all lost in the war. So, this your " who lost most from the civil war" dick measuring contest is kind of inane and redundant.

pazienza:
Yes, Ikot Abasi is oil producing, but without Ibeno, Obolo and Oron, Akwa Ibom wont be a major oil producing state.

Take a look at a picture showing the locations of Nigeria oil wealth, both onshore and offshore.
Notice that Akwa-ibom has next to nothing onshore production. And that like 90% of its offshore oil fields are located offshore of Ibeno Obolo and Mbo( Oron).

Ndiigbo have never been bad neighbors to Ibibio- Annang- Efik people, why you would seek to start painting Ndiigbo in badlight, over comments made by an Urhobo man is beyond me.

You went far over the Line to bring Ndiigbo into a thread that had nothing to do with us, and then denigrate us, and caused some Igbos here to react in negative manner, it's too bad of you.

Chommieblaq:
Who wan follow u drag popularity, na food ne? Ur always on d edge, always on d defense, brag unnecessarily n u use ur big grammar to cover up ur inferiority complex,.. No bi so life be hmmm take a chill pill no one is out for you.

I brag a lot 'cause I can back it up.
It's no fault of mine that you litluns are intimidated by my typo-eloquence, is it?
I understand I make you halfwits feel inferior.

I suggest you do more reading than preening.

somegirl1:
Pint- size,

I'm done with this exchange.
I'm interested in bigger fish.

Maybe if you Igbos had enough guts you'd have challenged those who ransacked, pillaged and seized your properties. Maybe you would have challenged the 20 Pounds payment!

No, like Ojukwu, you all are cowards!

From thence, the Igbos resorted to fraud, money rituals and other such crimes to survive!


You are worth nothing! Alright, you have £20 !

Of course you'd give up. INFAMOUS COWARDS!

pazienza:
Yes Ikot Abasi is oil producing, pardon me for forgetting it's part of Ibibio, seeing as it was part of the Opobo Kingdom, I often forget it's Ibibio, especially with clans like Ikpa Ibekwe as part of its make up.

Yea, if we add Ikot Abasi to Ibibioland, then Ibibio will have claim to crude oil, but it wouldn't still be in the magnitude of those of Ibeno, Obolo and Oron, and certainly won't be enough to bring the transformation currently taking place in Uyo.

Politics is about numbers, the Ibibios have the numbers, that's why they are dominant in Eket Zone.

Ikot Abasi consists like 5% of Akwa-ibom sea coast.

Thanks for acknowledging we produce oil.

Have you ever wondered why Ikot Abasi L.G.A can afford to pay the highest bursary in Akwaibom State?

Have you ever wondered why Ikot Abasi L.G.A roads are better than Oron, Eket and Ibeno roads even with little support from the State Government?

pazienza:
To start with, Ibibioland has no single drop of crude oil.
Akwa-ibom crude oil wealth belongs to Eastern Obolo,Ibeno and Oron people.


Akwa Ibom crude oil wealth is mainly offshore, and a single look at Akwa-ibom map will show that Eastern Obolo, Ibeno and Mbo( Oron) LGAs of Akwa-ibom occupy 99% of Akwa-ibom coastal lands.

Ibibio is in no position to mock Ndiigbo or Annangs about crude oil, as their claim to crude oil wealth is because of that fact that they currently co exist in the same state with the Ibenos Obolos and Oron people, who are by the way itching for separate existence, and will soon or later get it.

So I don't know what is highing the Sonofmark of a guy.

Really? Then how come Ikot Abasi L.G.A is listed as an oil producing community? I can tell the quarterly allocations for each clan in Ikot Abasi L.G.A. I bet you know zilch about it.

Where is IPC located? Do you realize Ikot Abasi borders the Atlantic Ocean and has more islands too?

Google "Ikot Abasi" to learn more.

Has it occurred to you why Ikot Abasi dominates the political sphere of Eket Senatorial District?

Need I go on?

somegirl1:
Lol
See who owns anyone. Attempt to be anything but docile and servile and see who owns whom.
Igbos don't need you or anyone to form a country.
Nothing wrong with two friendly countries living side by side. That's all we require from you.
People who would back out of a cause for a silly reason aren't exactly the sort you want to keep close.

In my earlier posts, I gave examples of Igbos being tortured.

Akure youths stripped and flogged your Igwe. You've been chased out of markets. DOGS!

Hausas slaughter you for sport!

The Ijaws seized your properties! Nigeria gave you 20 POUNDS! Such ridicule!


Igbos are slaves! Simpleton-esque Osu! Even your gods cursed you!

Chommieblaq:
Has it added anything to ur life or that of ur people, attention seeking e-celebritity wanna be!!!

Kiddo, I am already more popular than you are. Thanks to my lexical prowess.

In the grand scheme of things, you are less than an atom.

When you nosey Igbos learn to stay out of our brotherly squabbles like we stay away from your Anambra-versus-Imo or Igbos-versus-Ebonyi squabbles, then I'd stop.

While my forefathers were writing in Nsibidi, your people still were unintelligible.

somegirl1:
Your posts reek of insecurity.
Igbos only got involved in this thread when you mistook the op for one. Reread from the first page if you must.
Rather than accept your mistake, you went on.
It's laughable that people who run into their holes when the chips are down, due to mere beer parlour gossip, have the guts to speak.
You are only tough when you hide behind the skirt if Nigeria.
Do you not have men like Igbos do? Do our heights scare you?

[b]
Dimwit, if we ever seek secession from Nigeria, it would be to form a confederacy with other parts of the SOUTH-SOUTH only.

While you Igbos keep getting ridiculed in your delusional, ill-fated quest for Biafra, we fought for 25% resource control and we got it. Now 50% is the aim.

Igbos have nothing! Your geriatric dad depends on ND oil sale proceeds to feed you!

Your people are targeted in the North and South-West but they dare not try my people. Ask about what happened at Tinubu Square, Lagos in 2OO4.

We own you. We use you to champion our cause. You'd do anything for our oil wouldn't you? PILFERERS!

Your lands are useless. I bet you won't go home for Christmas because 1. Your roads are in disrepair and 2. Your homes have been washed away.

Sun-burnt _bastard from "THE RED SOIL REPUBLIC".

They threatened to dump you in the Lagoon and, of course, you'd do nothing! COWARDS!

Your hero, OJUKWU, fled disguised as a WOMAN!

Freemanan:
Chief, he seeks attention!
Just ignore the lad.

Chommieblaq:
Said ma mind dear, this sonofmark is just soooo.. ... .

That's serves you dimwitted Igbos right. Your tendency to always want to meddle in the affairs of other tribes has always been your undoing.

If my peace-loving tribesmen would overlook your tribal slurs, I wouldn't. I opined the home truths: Igbos are pests, oppurtunists and pawns. EVERYONE would always ridicule you dimwits.


Already CHINO11 and ABAGWORO have provided angles to attack you from.

The supposed love by the Igbos for the Akwaibom-Cross people ONLINE is a charade. I bet you also call us that derogatory name your kinsmen in Aba and Owka call us. Well, the feeling is mutual.


Two weeks ago, an Igbo man wrote a derogatory and UNTRUE piece in the Independent Times about us and an Igbo Nairalander, ZINACHIDI, posted it on Nairaland. I warned I'd revenge. I'm making good on my threat albeit with FACTUAL CLAIMS.



Nothing would stop me. Nothing.

Adanna28:
Just how your lame freestyles nag me to death absolutely spot on there. Best you stay in this section.

Adanna28:
True sis lol just wrong time to push my buttons when it that time of womanly month lol.

But yeah enough of that, let me go eat some chocolate

I see... I knew I was right to overlook your "Who the hell is the SonOfMark?" reply to iPopAlomo.

Alomo, let her be, bro. You sure do not want a hormonal woman on your case. They can nag you to death.

DerKaiser:
Lol. It is funny that a people whose only national relevance, before the exploration of crude oil, was exporting illiterate houseboys and house girls could even dream of throwing shades towards the Igbos.

Even an intelligible language you people couldn't create and you are talking of nsibidi lol.

If you know how you lot sound to an average intelligent human, you people would abolish the nonsense you call language and start again from scratch.

You people and your culture are so worthless that an entire nation calls you all "calabar" which mind you is just a place and not even one of the lazy ethnic groups you have wallowing away there. Isn't that a shame?

Little wonder why all of you crawled out from your swamps to come and tear each other to shreds on this thread because you lack something as simple as identity. Shameless lot.

Igbos may be hated but every movement they make is feared by weaklings like y'all. That is dominance.

Aren't you ashamed that you are a snitch and proud?

Little kid, hausa or yoruba may have nothing against you but when the chips are down they would still cut you to pieces without hesitation. Doesn't that say much about your self esteem that you have to sulk up and look for acceptance before feeling a single self worth.

At least Igbos know their enemies and always tackle them head on. The question is could you phools do that?

Anyway you people are too tiny and irrelevant to be taken seriously. You are not a threat even to yourselves talk more of the great Igbos who have been taking shots from every godforsaken tribe in Nigeria but still hitting hard.

Get lost and get back to shamelessly clawing each other to shreds.

If your fellow statesman has just called your Ibibio inferior, how do you think I, a thoroughbred Igbo would view you.

Look who is talking about midgets lol

Go to any state in the East or Lagos and watch how your fellow "calabar" men whose only viable profession is Okada riding could barely reach the gear pedals on their bikes.

I would really go in on you but just keep this for now.

People are speaking and calabar chimps want to join the convo.

[b] Firstly, it's "LOL" and not "Lol".


About diction : Igbos are jokers. You pronounce "LAGOS" as "RAGOS", "PLATE" as "PRATE", "RAT" as "LAT"...

I bet you pronounce the letter M as "EMMU"!

FLATHEADED RACCOONS!

You are dogs. Nobody takes you seriously. Little wonder why you are called "CHEST BEATERS".

You are blood ritualists, fraudsters, robbers and everything ill with the Nigerian society. You even sold Ojukwu out for money!

Every fraud case always has an Igbo man involved. Your women are known pilferers. CHINO11, an Anambrarian, even confirms that Imo State women are prostitutes.

Everyone treats Igbos like pests. Two weeks ago, your Igwe was stripped _naked and flogged in Akure! He was chased out then he returned to plead for mercy.

Months ago, your Igbo brothers were shot like dogs in Aba market by the police.

The Ijaws used you, we did same too.


You sell your sisters in the disguise of bride price to feed your poor families.



You are so wretched that Ebonyi people cook HOUSE RATS. Yuck!

Everyday, online and offline, you are the butt of jokes. You'd always be slaves to be discarded when you serve your purpose.

Your people come to Uyo staring enviously at our infrastructures. Your leaders are thieves and South East is underdeveloped. You suck! I bet erosion has washed away half of your ancestral lands. Even your topsoil is clayey!

Igbos are uncivilized oppurtunists who try to latch on to other people's successes. You only wanted our oil. We uncovered your plan of renaming UYO to NEW OWERRI. Fraudsters.

You want access to sea. Your supposed friendship with us online is in the hope that we join your Biafran cause. Rivers State government vowed to deal with Biafran calls and so have we.

Next time you'd learn never to rub shoulders with your betters.
We won't join you in Biafra, thieves. Live with that!

fratermathy:
Insult Urhobo all you want, unlike you, I am not tribalistic and won't claim what Urhobo is or is not. I am myself and I can write whatever I want to write and however I want to. In essence I have shamed your new penile call. If you want to drag Urhobo into this as you did Igbo, that is your own cup of tea! I won't die on top Urhobo's defence because I know my people and what we can do. You have insulted your people, Igbo, yoruba and Urhobo. You are suffering from acute ethnocentric syndrome. Are you the only one on Nairaland? Why the hate? Are you the devil himself? Even Lucifer loves something.


You have proven that you are simply a troll who is blinded by ethnicity, tribalism and ego. All these will be deflated after my repeated engagements with you. I'd make you understand that you are a nobody. Even your tribesmen have abandoned you because they know you are self centred. Your disease is pathological and only O. O. O can solve it.

If you know your history so much then query wiki for meltpoting your people as one but since you can't, coupled with your hatred for those who are better than you, you troll threads and spark up controversy. May the eternal Nous cogitate an amber to soothe your frail grey matter.


I thought this thread was your problem, it is not. Your problem is Oedipian and innate. Carl Jung would have marvelled at your bigotry.

fratermathy:
Your arguments are vain, baseless, and I daresay, plain silly. You have shifted the whole crux of this topic and derailed it beyond its scope. You have insulted yourself, your people, and all that you think you stand for. You have unearthed your incorrigibility, lack of direction and intellectual aridity. You are nothing but a troll and a shadow of it. Here you are, in a thread about your people, mincing words and measuring penile sizes with someone so kindhearted enough to do an expose on your people, however flawed. You are the definition of unappreciation and violence. Your vanity and adamant nature is reminiscent of the fly that dodges a stray bullet only to be killed by the snarl of a broom. Your words and actions are like those of the much fabled witches and wizards of Ibibioland. You seem to negate progress, scholarship and everything expository about you and your people. You have an Oedipian flaw that makes you shield and guide your personality and privacy for the simple truth that you are a nobody and that shall you remain as long as you attack and betray the good Ibibio people, their friends and their lovers! Only a T.B.Joshua can cure you of your affliction and innate hatred for everything positive, intellectual and Ibiboid. In fact, a T.B. Joshua would be disgusted! Only an Olumba Olumba Obu can tolerate your silliness and cure you of your imperial affliction of xenophobia, violence and the hate of progress, peace and stability of the good people of AkwaCross.

I sheath my good words at this juncture, they can be better put to poetic usage and not wasted on you and your calibre of people with a socially fermented and intellectually warped ethnocentric disposition that equals madness mixed with a sense of wizardry and "marijuanism". !!! .[/s]

fratermathy:
Like I said before, too much dependence on lexical semantics is your undoing.

"OPINED" not "SAID". Do I have to keep correcting you?

This is why people fail exams and blame bad grades on witches!

Impossible to SOUND via TYPEWRITTEN MEDIUM!!! Yet it is possible to state a sound through it right?

Write me a tale about an engine room without "SOUNDING"! You think you know English so well right? Just construct a simple sentence on the above.

If I typewrite the tale, I'd only be describing a what I HEARD not READ.

GYPSIES and their denotations have nothing to do with my connotations! Once again, lexical semantics!!!! You are like the stale machine that "G-I-G-O" without any form of fluidity whatsoever. Maybe a reading of Wole Soyinka's "Telephone Conversation" can give you some sense tonight. Go and tell Soyinka that he cannot describe the SOUND of buttons and voices via WRITTEN MEDIUM.
I laugh at your dimwittedness.!!!!


Just accept this simple fact! You do not understand the linguistic and literary resourcefulness of the English Language other than what you read in the first few pages of the Oxford Dictionary for Kids.

Yadda, yadda, yadda. You know nothing. Oh yes, I have always loved dictionaries and novels. Little wonder why lexical arsenal is feared.

I ask, again: How many novels have you read this year?

koolkamzzy:
No doubt I have learnt a lot from the arguments on your thread. Even those you thought were your brothers are more of an enemy. In actual fact, I never knew we had Masters and Slaves in the same state!

fratermathy:
You dont even understand sarcasm. Chei! Even you too? How low of you!!!


Dont bring the semantic issue again. I have already whooped you here before now.

Have you heard of primacy of oracy in written speech?


Google it!


I NEVER Collaborated your assertions, instead, I unearthed your solitary inspired gypsy mentality.

Every time you are cornered with the truth speared in your face, you resort to put your stale, cliched defense of "sarcasm".

Simpleton, I reiterate that it's impossible to SOUND via TYPEWRITTEN MEDIUM.

GYPSIES are carefree, happy-go-lucky persons. "CONFINEMENT" in your context depicts "SOCIAL RECLUSION" which isn't gypsy-esque.

"CAVEMAN" would have gone well with "CONFINEMENT".

You really are featherbrained.

fratermathy:
Your understanding, Mr The.SonOf.Mark, is very myopic on this subject matter and you make yourself sound like a gypsy who just entered kindergarten after 20 years in solitary confinement.

Firstly, your definition of "CLASSIC" corroborates my earlier assertion. All the Novelists I listed have written CLASSIC novels.

Secondly, you can't opine that I "SOUND LIKE". My replies were/are TYPEWRITTEN and NOT SPOKEN OR VOICED.

Lastly, GYPSIES are NOMADIC so why opine that A GYPSY IS IN CONFINEMENT?

It pleases me to teach you.

somegirl1:
Actually the reason they have nothing against you is because you aren't and have never been dominant.
You are not perceived as a threat by any major group in Nigeria. It's a safe place to be, however safe is not always a good thing.
It's a shameful thing that you couldn't achieve your cause, that is secession, and then come together, united people that you are to show the disunited Igbos who is boss.
A rather cowardly reason to back out.
Together, you could have defeated Igbos and even have renamed Owerri - New Ikot Abasi or New Calabar.

Speaking of midgets, Igbos are taller on the average than Akwacrossians. Fact.

We knew the Igbos are parasites (like the rest of Nigeria) only craving OUR OIL.

Every tribe hates Igbos,not just Yorubas.
.
There's a reason why everyone terms IGBOS as "FRAUDSTERS". You are thieves.

Igbos bring nothing to the table yet they want BIAFRA with us so they can share from our bounties.

They call you "FLAT HEADS". So true. Flat heads, protruding stomachs and squat build. No wonder a version of your confused history states YOU CAME FROM CONGO. PYGMIES, anyone?

You are thieves. Akpabio used you to be Minority Leader and he dumped you.

fratermathy:
"By my Lecturer"?

It is well, I guess you can surmise the plot of The Tale of Genji for me then! Since you have read CLASSICS!

Tell me the role THE TALE OF GENJI plays in WORLD LITERATURE and I'd take you serious. I give you a few minutes to do this and do not GOOGLE.


You want to switch to literature now!!! Lets ride...

Dimwit, with a fast internet connection, anyone could copy and paste stuffs to seem intelligent.

You hinted at novels and I asked you to dare me on famed novels. Next you ask me to research your seminar topic.

If you had a brain the size of a bug, you'd realize that CLASSIC and CLASSICS are different.

A CLASSIC NOVEL (time-tested) ,like Hadley Chase's novel, is different from CLASSICS as a genre.

Gosh! Who taught you?

You can try to cover your error. I'd like to see you try.

fratermathy:
Vocabulary stock? smh

How many novels, plays and poems have you read or even skimmed through?
How many books have you glanced through?

How often do you speak?
You think vocabulary terms are bought or "tribalistically coerced"?

If you want to debate on vocabulary, YOU ARE CERTAIN TO LOSE AGAIN!!! I doubt if you have read as much books as I can read in only a MONTH!


You picked up a wrong fight with the wrong person. You CANT WIN ME in ENGLISH. You may win me in Accounting, Medicine, Law, etc but CAN NEVER EVER EVER WIN ME IN English, Literature, Philosophy, Religion, and the Arts. Even the so-called Accounting, Medicine and Law are well known by me. I can hold grounds in my own way except it is with a professional in that area. If you are not then you cant even win me there.

Dimwit, I've read more novels this year than you'd ever read in your life.
Name a classic by any famed author that I haven't read.
Dan Brown, James Hadley Chase, Nalini Singh, Agatha Christine, ElNathan, Achebe, Soyinka, Amadi, Morgan... Name them.

You are a rookie. You read only recommended books by your lecturer while I am a voracious reader.

Your replies are as banal as a whiteboard.

DerKaiser:
How exactly are you trying to turn this thread into an Igbo issue? Are you reta.rded or what?

You have been told that the OP is not Igbo, an assertion he has personally confirmed. Why then do you keep mentioning Igbos here? Are you cursed or what?

Anyway the rubbish you wrote about everyone in your state endorsing Udo Udoma sounds like bollocks as the attack you have been dishing out to each other on this thread proves otherwise.

One has even gone ahead to call his fellow state indigenes inferior and their language mere sounds and noise.

Lastly Igbos are united in all fronts and would always come together to give y'all hell anytime one of you steps out of line be you Ibibio, Ijaw, Urhobo, Oron, Itsekiri or whatever worthless place you are coming from. Kapish?

Alright. You want a few home truths? Be my guest!

Igbos are federal pawns - we all use and dump them.

Igbos are so disunited that they turned against their hero, Ojukwu, when he bid to be president in 2003. Heck! The man who antagonized Ojukwu most was Ogbonanya Onu!

We, the Akwa-Cross people, dumped your BIAFRA CAUSE in 1968 when plans leaked of you scheming to rename UYO to NEW OWERRI. Two-timing oppurtunists!

You should ask yourself why Colonel Philip (Ojukwu's successor and an Ibibio man) surrendered immediately to Nigeria. WE REJECTED BIAFRA.

Why are Igbos always hated?

Why do the Yorubas and Hausas have nothing against the Ibibios!

Maybe Hitler, with time, would have wiped out you pseudo-descendants of Jews.

For the record, Abia State is begging my SG to assist with road constructions.

Maledict offspring of a leprous midget!

fratermathy:
No sir, you are making a fool of yourself because I have made a statement that you haven't understood. Once again, I repeat it:

You only "defined". That is not the grammatical thing to do. Since you claim to be so "endowed" in Grammar, kindly make you claims linguistically.


You should know that the etymology or lexical semantics of a word has NOTHING to do with its syntactic and grammatical usage. That should be SEMANTICS 101.


Material process in Hallidayan/Systemic Functional grammar provides the linguistic framework for my use of say in written utterances.

The iterator is assumed to be engaged in a verbal process. Read novels such as Okara's The Voice as proof of this.

I can say: "John will say he's coming," "TheSonofMark said he has returned," "TheSonofMark will soon say he is hungry."

This is perfectly correct syntactically and semantically. Prove me wrong and use a grammatical framework.

So dont argue baselessly sir. It makes you sound vague. It is only in academic expositions that "opines", "iterates", "avers", "proffers", etc are used as "dodge-terms".



Thank me for this English Class. I did this 5 Years ago. cool

The thing with you is that while my vocabulary stock is being put to use, YOU HAVE RESORTED TO REPLYING ME THREE TIMES BY COPYING AND PASTING THE SAME EPISTLE.

I implore anyone to read your last three replies to me to confirm that were copied and pasted...like the article on the first page.

I've made you so desperate that you've resorted to copying and pasting the same words THREE TIMES!

Ashamed, huh? Don't try fighting an atomic bomb with a dynamite. Know your nadir-esque limit.

I gave you dictionary definitions of the words which is the agreed templated requisite for lexical constructions.

"TO SAY" means "TO PRONOUNCE". Pray tell, how is it possible to PRONOUNCE (which is VERBAL) LEXICALLY (by WRITTEN FORM)?

You made a fool of yourself!

I enjoy ridiculing lawyers, philosophers and, sometimes, linguists.

fratermathy:

I need a citation on the error analysis you just conducted.

SAY - "TO PRONOUNCE".

OPINE -"TO EXPRESS AN OPINION [IN ANY FORM]".

Thank me if you like.

fratermathy:


If I say it now, Mr TheSonO.fMark will say it's a tribal slur but I don't understand what you have just said.

Dimwit, you don't "say" via (type-)written form, you "opine" or "state".

Now you know why I placed you below my lexical/verbal stratum.

fratermathy:



How do you know I can speak Urhobo?. Heck, do you even know if I grew up in your land? You are used to being so wrong aren't you?


Whatever rocks your boat bro.
I didn't insult Calabar people, I rebuffed a person. If you want to start a tribal war, please start with Ibibios and Efiks. They are close to you bro.



You have a better command of English than I do? Freemanan come and see o.

You can't write the bulk of what I have written even in 10years to come. Google my name and see my profile.
Ikpa Road ko, Nwanibia Road ni.


Once again, learn how to speak good English. Too much Ibibio/Efik/Oron/Eket has made you unable to communicate coherently. You talk like a kindergarten leaver with elusive scribbles.

Whatever rocks your boat though. I suggest you pick up a gun and start an Efik-Ibibio great War.

fratermathy:
Whatever rocks your boat. Y'all should go on, hate yourselves, fight a war and whatever. Keep your savagery within yourselves.

Liar! Mention the names of the UNIVERSITY OF UYO SCHOLARS who you claimed to have consulted. You know I am disgracing you.

The Akwa-Cross people aren't like the Yoruba-Benins who fell from the sky or the Igbos who still dream of being Jesus' kinsmen.

We know our history. We were the first to be educated and were more civil which are amongst the very reasons why the europeans first set up base in Calabar and conquered you from our base.

Even before the advent of the Europeans, we the Akwa-Cross people had a writing system called "NSIBIDI". Google it!
