CultureRe: Yoruba Origin, History and Canaanland connection. by tpia5: 2:07am On Sep 21, 2013
prexios: i don't understand what you mean by truth is bitter in this context,
i do not know who is telling the truth or who is lying. i am not lying anyway.
But if you think i am lying, you are right. You are entitle to your opinion.

i make my points clear and simple as my usage of English goes.
Not believing my point is something totally different, it is not me
that does not believe what I am saying, so i am not deluded.

But what a critic says is a critics problem, not mine. He is not where i am.
Just proof me wrong and you start to enrich Yoruba culture, pure and simple.
I'm not in it to proof my infallibility or my expertise, i am in it to enrich our spirit.

i don't go on a quest so that i can be perambulating without a target foe ever.
i don't prescribe or enforce my technique on anyone or use it to destroy others,
i choose what is clear to me from resources available, i find my resource over time.

i am less concern if you have a better idea, it is your right that is.
if you feel like sharing it, we all get to look into it as public material,
i do not hoodwink anyone or preach strange doctrine, so i am free.

if the term "Hebrew" is not exactly accurate in this context,
that's not a problem, you know the preferable context or option.
if you share the preferable context, we would amend what we have

i am not seeing every thought of people and how i should behave
i choose my ideas and justify my point from simple sane perspectives.
i may not exhibit your favorite emotions or sentiment, i am a unique being.

there is no need to demoralize me for choosing Hebrew,
all you need do is proof me wrong with constructive materials.
and everybody learn something that has been obscure previously.
just seeing this.

my post you quoted, was for kwangi.

CelebritiesRe: Governor Suswam Serves As Cook's Bestman by tpia5: 8:24pm On Sep 20, 2013
Ajengogo: @op. The sentence of your topic is misleading! An article is missing in your sentence. The meaning of your sentence is that Suswan is serving as bestman to a man named Cook.
Its nigerian syntax, sometimes a bit different fom the foreign one.
CultureRe: Yoruba Origin, History and Canaanland connection. by tpia5: 8:15pm On Sep 20, 2013
I think our time frames are different.


My frame of reference right now is the 13th century.
CultureRe: Who Are The Akoko Of Northern Ondo State? by tpia5: 5:09pm On Sep 20, 2013
itsekiri is a yoruboid language, so its not far fetched to assume the ame stands for omi, we already know it means sea.

the ogie is open to interpretation but i have the idea.

if, however, you feel the title is wholly edo, then that's that.
PoliticsRe: Reasons For Nigeria's U.S DV-Lottery Ban by tpia5:
topic

i guess nobody remembers the visa lottery started in 1995.

before then,were nigerians not travelling to the US?

btw, if 50,000 nigerians have immigrated to the US in the past five years on the lottery visa, whats the actual total number since 1995 when it started? Or am i reading the article wrong and the 50,000 is the total combined number of visas issued since 2008 to all countries mentioned.
PoliticsRe: Reasons For Nigeria's U.S DV-Lottery Ban by tpia5: 5:03pm On Sep 20, 2013
femmyb: And some folks will come here and tell us that Nigeria is the best place to live on earth bla bla bla , and everything is jolly jolly but i guess those 50 thousand Nigerians that have voted with their feet by running away to the US in the last five years, don't share in those false sense of patriotism from folks that will do thanksgiving if giving visas to Malaysia.
they were given free visas bro.

wrong analogy.

njokusboy: If he really wants to honour the man, let him give him some gud money to start up sumtin with.. How does acting as the mans bestman, raise his standard of living.. Matter of fact his cost of living would rise becos pple would start ecpecting more from him... Mtschew
connections are just as important as money though.

DEGREE2466: Is the governor not married?

Because i know bestman is being done by bachelors only!

Just asking......
anyone can be a best man, its not bachelor's only.
CultureRe: Yoruba Origin, History and Canaanland connection. by tpia5: 4:31pm On Sep 20, 2013
anyway, as I was saying at some point, it would be nice to know something about 13th century yoruba.

also, was there any interaction between the old empires such as ghana (not today's ghana) to the west, songhai, etc.

just asking, not saying there was.

we do know, however, northern yoruba headquarters used to be somewhere in present day niger state.
CultureRe: Who Are The Akoko Of Northern Ondo State? by tpia5: 4:28pm On Sep 20, 2013
According to the monarch, Ogiame has to do with the sea.

therefore its not implausible to assume the "ami" is actually a version of "omi" meaning water.

f.oolish.

anyone with sense should elaborate the ways in which the s.tupidity is outlined.

let me help you out

1. adding people you dont know, as friends on facebook.

2. getting swollen head because the unknown person is praising you based on your touched up or fancy pictures

3. actually going to meet the unknown person based on his photos which are possibly the opposite of what he actually looks like in reality, or even if not, he could also be a devil with a pretty face.

4. risking kidnapping or worse just because you want to get laid

5. risking your health for a fling

6. navigating the bad nigerian roads because of a flash in the pan?

etc etc.

if na true story o!

^ you took the words right out of my mouth.

@ the madam,

i am not a lesbian, kindly stop stalking me, you will not get gratification from my end, so look elsewhere.

i dont know why the lesbians on this forum are so militant, maybe its penis envy or some such.

as per the rest of the crap you typed, my caveat emptor is in my signature, read it instead of spending all your time fantasizing about the sex you're not getting from either male or female.

i do not know why you must provide a description of your private parts as if you missed the road to your favorite p.orn website.

are you that h.orny? I already noticed you're man crazy, seemed you're confused about your sexuality anyway!

now, I already told you bye bye, stop fishing for my attention, how many of you want to be mods, i wish you could have a life outside of nl?

seun the owner sef no dey fixated like yall! Thats because he does not make the place the be all and end all of his existence!

both are bad, although i agree over bloated ego is less serious than low self esteem.


and some people get so upset when they're not flattered, it tends to come across as a mental health problem.

what type of person starts crying because they werent flattered on an online forum?

thats serious.
