your grammar gets worse by the day.

what happened?

and what is "dont you want it no more?"

are you looking to impress visa officials or some mugu you have your eye on.



well, now we know what's going on with you, after this analysis.


i wanna wanna


better learn pidgin so you wont look so villagey.

pDude: Did you by any chance school in Nigeria?

Your answer will give insight to your statement.

I schooled in nigeria but i dont remember the toilets in my schools being as bad as that.



In college, the toilets didnt look like that in my dorm ( dont know about other people's), to the best of my knowledge.

As long as we had water, at least the things flushed.

Dont know about now however, maybe everything got worse.

Remove your gender, or change it to female and toast seun.

Test this, and see your ban.

pDude: They were used to brush teeth and wash yansh

I dont think people can brush their teeth in that toilet. When they can as well do it outside by the nearest bush if no bathroom is vacant?

I said brush teeth o, not use potty.

Why did we have to see the inside of the toilet, dear.

And why are there bottles of water on the floor?

Why is there no dustbin?

Fatherland is germanic in nature, a lot of nigerian cultures have that influence.

I know you've been spoiling for fight for a while now- you dont like being ignored, or maybe you want to be a mod.

So, pray tell, what are you blabbing and whining about ms foul mouth.

Yes, you know why you were hiding before but developed balls to post on the thread after you saw me.

Always two sides to every story.

Ask4bigneyo: Could u pls share d implications wit us...?

The "implications" are what was discussed earlier on the thread, namely the beliefs attached to it.

SHE didnt say she adhers to them, only that she has safety pins on her occasionally for when she needs some.

coogar: so will you be attaching one to your cloth when you get preggers? if a woman travels abroad while pregnant, can she also ward off the evil spirit or are these foul spirits only present in nigeria?

I doubt it matters if i do or dont, since its not your business, is it?

maclatunji: I think that is not a very nice comment. #Distasteful

Have your fellow mod hide it if you're offended!

slimyem: ^^see person wey dey preach...
Ironical!

And?

Your miracle is on the way.

Hope you arent one of the foul mouth ones here.

If so, desist or maybe you'll find someone who is also foul mouthed.

OILOFGLADNESS: my dear thanks for this post, i ahve been wondering why too,
i had knowledge of this superstitious believe cos i am fond of putting safety pin on my cloths so that i wont misplace them, on one occassion someone called me and told me that she respects me so much and believe that i am so principled, what happend, i never understood, she now asked me why i put pin on my cloth funny enof very close to my stomach
i told her nothing, that was when she told me the implication, since then i become so conscious of it.

I do that sometimes but dont place the pins where they can be seen.

Where's the mariam babangida connection?

The school?

Please post the rest of the story here.

So its true babies can swim?

I always heard that myth about ijaw people and their babies.

Exactly, she looks regular Nigerian.

Yet that "skin tone" is always claimed to be a sign of Mixture

not always.

it IS a sign of admixture, but at the same time, isnt the only sign of admixture.

neither is it considered a definitive proof of admixture.

besides, it can come out of a bottle.

in addition, all the extra stuff used by women nowadays, are designed to mimic admixture, so one needs to see the natural facie first in order to have an informed opinion.

Once again, Hair tells more about admixture than Skin Complexion.

true

the prominent features are indeed very pronounced, but most igbos with prominent features, and who are light skinned, would still not be mistaken for mixed.

two totally different facial structures here, the only common factor is light skin, which is probably one reason for the confusion.

igbos have a differing range of phenotypes, but all are generally recognizable as igbo.

besides, people tend to ignore the capoid features in igbos as well, not sure why.

all light skin igbos arent necessarily mixed.

however, a number of light skinned igbos are indeed, mixed.

what's the skin tone of the facebook lady? She looks like a regular nigerian to me.

her latest interview was ok.

has she thought of writing a book?

she tends to be quite concise, interactive and pretty thoughtful when she talks.


not sure why that other guy [the one who abused everybody] was calling her a diva.

gerald09: Releasing d woman, not releasing d woman,
Getting paid, not getting paid. Either way the story ends up, those kidnappers are bleeped till kingdom come. They aint living dis country alive or dead. And I bet as dumb as dey are to kidnap not jt a royalty of a rich community but d mother of 1 of the greatest women nigeria has ever had, they have not planned an escape route.

Dis is a shout out to dem kidnapper, dudes intro to planning such kidnapping : always plan an escape route first for u n d money even b4 planning d job.

Advice: jt let her go, u aint getting paid n their is notin in this whole event that will work out in ur favour.

goes without saying.

^so, you're saying you can kidnap your own mother.

are you people being forced to type here?

dont know what kind of rehabilitation would be effective for you, but you need it urgently.

PAGAN 9JA:
you dont understand these Yorubas. let me give you an example:

‎'Segun Osoba, a renowned Professor of History, once ended a narrative on a similar subject with an anecdote about one of the few Yoruba Ijebu converts to Christianity. This particular man became a 'Pastor' as is commonplace today; once, a member of his congregation vexed him (names and details withheld) to a degree that he had to take off his pastoral regalia (not sure what they used to call that), thus revealing the hitherto concealed attire of a Juju Priest (Pagan Priest).

That anecdote represented the suspicion with which the Ijebus held Christianity while yet practicing it.

not sure of your point, but yes, quite a lot of yorubas mix traditional religion with christianity.

however, its not yorubas alone who do this- most nigerians do the same.

being a christian doesnt mean you'll be immune from diabolical attacks.

however, you have the power to overcome them through Christ Jesus.

but if your lifestyle leaves loopholes for the devil to enter, then that's another matter entirely.

asudan: don't mix doctrine with biblical standards.show me where it is written dat singles shouldn't sit in front

so everything discussed on this matter, simply flew over your head.

coogar: huh?
never heard of it.....

common among the yoruba, i should think.

kind of routine, not unusual.

not sure what the actual underlying reason is though.

its not photoshop this time.

Again, even the Wodaabe scored low on Berber DNA

how did they score on east african and arab dna?

for reasons which shall not be mentioned here.

Abagworo: Igbos are not mixed and not even as light skinned as people make it seem. We have more light brown skinned people than most other Nigerian black ethnic groups but not in any way white skinned. Is singer Chris Brown light-skinned?

chris brown is mixed.

ezeagu: European genetic ancestry is the most researched and diverse in study, therefore it is easily identified when analysing peoples ancestral lines. No one, absolutely no one come up with anything less than 99% African, the other 1% being an error.

my point remains the results depend on the selection process, or test sample.

not to mention the research process itself isnt above review.

ezeagu: No it is NOT, unless you have DNA evidence of this from all the testing that has gone on on the coast. Again, even the Wodaabe scored low on Berber DNA, Igbo people (both dark and light) have been tested and there hasn't been any case of ANY European ancestry.

This is why i'm trying to pin specific looks and features to specific regions.

You cant make a general statement of this nature because its too vague.

What you mean is some Igbo were tested either rightly or wrongly, and no (or little) european ancestry was ostensibly identified.
