And why is the name of this strange Sierra Leone igbo just popping up now. Why is there no literature acknowledging his work?

Liar liar pants on fire.



Thanks for enlightening them with facts. Who would have taught the Jonas guy was even a servant to Bishop Crowther

Ofodirinwa:
Myth: It is widely believed that Yoruba Ex-slave Samuel Crowther was the first to write the bible in the Igbo language. The truth has been revealed that it was written by Simon Jonas, an Igbo ex-slave from Sierra Leone who gave Crowther the book due to Crowther's interest in translating the bible into african languages. It is now known that Crowther oversaw the translation of the English bible into the Yoruba language and this was the only translation he completed before dying a few months after the book was completed.




The mission to Onitsha which led to the translation was led by a group of ex slaves which included Simon Jonas (Igbo), Samuel Crowther (Yoruba) and Rev Taylor (Igbo). This is prompted by Crowther convincing the Anglican commission in Freetown and Lagos that it would be more effective to use natives to convert natives as opposed to europeans. Crowther was in Onitcha for a matter of weeks before heading off to Lokoja. Rev Taylor stayed in Onitsha and did the work that Nairalanders often credit to Crowther, who's only translation work was the Yoruba bible which he finished just before his death.

This is how you should write. Doctor indeed...



You're a tribal bigot. What has the discussion got to do with Igbos living in the South West?

Recent history has shown that the South East is advancing better than the South West, except for Lagos in the areas of education, business and manufacturing.
Obiano is far better than any of the SW governors currently, so what's your point really?

To correct the wrong impression you're making, no South easterner moves to the SW for security. It's all about looking for markets that aren't yet saturated, for commercial activities.

Nobleking2000:
The question is the people. (tribe) that makes the region what its is. since you said every region has its own specialization then what is specialization of our brothers from the west .

Smooyis:
Not at all. Just stating the obvious.

Yorubas should not be deceived by this finding and now ignore basic hygiene standards. This may be tragic at the end.

If there's any hot chick out there who needs some Yoruba blood inside them...satisfaction guaranteed, no more Lassa fever fear...The Federal Ministry of Health warns that side effect of Yoruba boy treatment for lassa fever may be pregnancy..

I know u too well, and know that u and the devil share one thing in common. U are both Liars. Once Obama steps down, Buhari will ignite Nigeria and CIA will be in position to actualise their prediction. We just going to wait becos u are too daft to understand it is over.

hammerT:
Dude, I seriously dont care about her or her looks, I just have a problem with Yorubas going to my land to get married.


U lost that privileged a long time ago and the fact u are accorded such is purely down to the ignorance and lack of knowledge amongst my people.


This is why we will double our effort and sink ship. Then we will rearrange and reorientate our people.


Making laws and reforming culture. We are held handcuff by Nigeria, just like Olisa and my generation will not take it one bit.


Our fathers are even much better than us becos they are calm but we are not.

hammerT:
I spoke my heart, sorry if u dont like it but that is exactly the truth.

I dont want to share blood with people that murdered 3 million of my people

That history will be taught to every igbo person in Biafra and they will know it like a Muslim knows his Korean.

mpowa:
hmm! venoms of hates, it's amazing, these kind of hate can kill the owner.

Anticabal:
Trash yoruba men are not more educated than Igbos. There are more graduate businessmen in Ariaria than in Osun. Go figure! You leave your smelly girls for who to marry? Why would Behind, handsome educated Igbo men marry your females when you are running away from them. yoruba girls are losers here.

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has remanded an alleged fake codeine cough syrup producer, Mr. Kenneth Chiokwe, in prison custody following his arraignment by National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC.

The suspect was arraigned before Justice Jude Kanyioh Dagat.

Prosecuting counsel, Umar Shamaki told the court that the accused imported the fake product and that the accused committed the offence at Church Street, Idumota, Lagos State, within the jurisdiction of the court.

Defence counsel, Chukwudi Nneke in his bail application, urged the court to admit the accused to bail because the offence was a bailable one.

The prosecution did not oppose to the bail application but prayed the court to impose stringent conditions.

Justice Dagat, in a short ruling, admitted the accused to bail in the sum of N1 million and two sureties in like sum.

One of the sureties must be a relative of the accused and the second a landed property owner within the court’s jurisdiction, with evidence of three years tax clearance.

The court ordered the remand of the accused until his bail conditions are perfected and adjourned to April 5 for trial.

A mild drama played out on the IG page of a girl Barbie Davina who uploaded pics of herself with her supposed 'bae' on Instagram Ifeabunike Nwolisa and captioned it “chilling wit bae.” She claims to be in a relationship with him.

But after almost two weeks of posting the pictures of them together in a car, the man got wind of it and took to her page to beg her to delete the pictures. The girl has refused to accept his plea so far.Well, it turned out that ‘bae’ is not only married but has 2 lovely kids. ‘Bae’ quickly went on the comment section and ordered side chick to delete his photos. It's been 3 weeks now… yet Side Chick refused to budge.

Trolls are roasting the poor man on Instagram. Some even advised the lady to demand for cash before she will delete the pics. Na dey poor wife I dey pity. Like my people talk, a guy man cannot guy a gayoyo. Lol.
