stop using chemicals and attachments so the hair can grow back.

you can start reusing them after the hair has grown.

^^your discomfort with the subject doesnt mean others shouldnt discuss it? huh

all you have to do is not click on the thread title.

i have no idea where uromi or ubiaja are, dont know what you're talking about.

are you referring to pat utomi and if so, would you be disturbed to find out he has non-black dna in his ancestry?

@ topic

some ladies might be trying to reassure themselves they're still attractive.

either that or they're not happy with their husbands.


or maybe the husbands will wander if the wives dont dress that way? huh

Men are attracted with what they see.

moremi2008: It's a Yoruba thing. We call everybody older and close to us inappropriate titles like Daddy, Mummy, Big Mummy, Aunty, Uncle etc...I wouldn't worry too much about it.
wrong analogy and misrepresentation of yoruba culture.

Btw, how do you know the monks or the europeans didnt go to other parts of benin kingdom?

They obviously went to warri and moved on to benin from there. They'd have passed other settlements while doing so.

^just some places here and there have people who are obviously mixed but without explanation for the mixture.


The op's theory is interesting no doubt, but one would have to look at other areas where capuchin monks were active, in that era, and see if the same applies there.

Meaning are there mixed looking populations in such places, with no explained links or ties to account for them.

Also, one cant discount a more recent input of foreign genes which have to be kept secret for various reasons which you can guess at.
TV/Movies › Re: BBA: Goldie Takes Her Love For Prezzo To Cloud Nine As She Feeds Him In Tears by tpia5: 1:37pm On Jun 18, 2012
What kind of useless script is this and why are these lowlife writers always picking on nigerian women as if sluts and i.diots arent found elsewhere? Isnt it about time this s.tupid show was cancelled?


So this goldie (who may not even be nigerian btw) , couldnt get even a tout from ajegunle, but she has to disgrace herself with this kind of fellow from lord knows where?
TV/Movies › Re: BBA: Goldie Takes Her Love For Prezzo To Cloud Nine As She Feeds Him In Tears by tpia5: 1:28pm On Jun 18, 2012
Omg, this is beyond embarassing. Does this goldie have mental problems or something? What is the meaning of this? Poster why not remove those pictures.

Not sure what you're saying. I guess you feel yorubas have one specific look and thus you dont make room for anything else. I posted photos of two other yoruba women on another thread yesterday, will repost them soon. You'll probably want to say they're not yoruba. In any case, as per this thread, check the igbo women thread again from page one, and you'll see what i'm talking about as per this particular op. If i make the actual comparisons now and mention names, all of you will take offence.

Some binis do have fairer colour, though not too many, but i think the op's context might include parts of edo since they all used to be affiliated with benin kingdom prior to its breakup. Some areas in edo are very light and do look mixed.
Islam › Re: Why Do Nigerian Christians Hate Islam??? by tpia5: 12:16pm On Jun 17, 2012
Poster i dont think you should make a big deal out of it. Allow for differences in opinion, and if you feel the guy was being disrespectful to the late prince, just say so on the relevant thread and move on. Not everyone will see things your way, and given the nigerian context, you really should try to be a bit more patient when it comes to religion.

it seems oba esigie [16th century] might have brought a portuguese wife with him when he returned from portugal- not sure if he's the one i thought i read about.

just found something to that effect.

^^couldnt find the link, so i modified my post.

maybe it was the olu of warri, cant say for sure.

Patsey: You're right. At the beginning of the 17th century, a son of the reigning Olu was sent to Portugal and returned with a Portuguese wife. Their son Antonio Domingo was Olu of Warri in the 1640s.
any pictures of antonio domingo?
