₦airaland Forum

the hat with feathers thingies and the modified agbadas are all recent inventions i think.

In some parts of nigeria, children tend to have varied features and may not all look the same. This is a normal thing and possibly due to various levels of integration or immigration by unknown persons in the past. So, someone from that area who is going crazy wondering if the kids arent his (doesnt happen often i should think), might just be wasting his time doing a dna test.

In other parts of nigeria like the southwest, features run in families and most times its pretty easy to connect the child to a particular person somewhere along the line. In cases where it seems impossible to do so, then there might be a problem.

However, imo most of these things [as per thread title] are simply paranoia unless there's strong evidence to suggest otherwise.

One naira

i was referring to the men.

I suppose most of you arent aware many ijaws have yoruba admixture?

Lol.

I'll be back to give the correct version of what you were trying to say.

^Translate plz.

Me gbo.

Especially that last part.

The first part is ok.

Poverty of course.

What else?

You'll notice the traditional attire (the one gej normally ears- dont know what it's called) has a faint resemblance to coat tails.

Odumchi

i'm not sure what you mean by the top hat has nothing to do with europeans.

You do know those hats were sometimes payment for slaves right?

Besides i i believe they were used in liberia as well by the american returnees.

I dont think its possible- at least not for a black woman, unless you're referring to the number of strands on someone's head.

Or is that the name of a new hairstyle.

Must have been some inawo to inspire this long poetry lol.

Bad press bad press bad press

these rich people have to be more careful of their public image.

Lord have mercy.

These names are a bit over the top nah?

I mean, i`m just saying.

Unless the people bearing them are of european descent.

And what happened to the regular ijaw names- i mean those long ones which are a bit difficult to pronounce.

Anyway, let's not derail the thread.

Eku iranu

eku ife (sarcasm)

Eku inawo (expenses)

Eku odun

eku araya (not sure about this one)

eku afojuba or amojuba (greeting someone after a long journey)

eku idide (for celebrations or occasions with high turn out)

eku suuru

eku ijo (dance)

Referring to labour and childbirth.

Very troubling nah.

as per this joyce person- why do ghanaians hate other africans so much?

they dont wear hijab

some yoruba muslims do wear hijab. Many of them as a matter of fact.

Yoruba muslims are big Joke
Which is why arabs dnt respect blaacks as muslims

but they have no problem with syrian muslims?

its business in lagos, no personal emotion.

Lagos is a business district don't forget

true that.

must the landlord not eat because there are different religions?

why do people always jump up anytime someone identifies yoruba?

what's the fear?

the yoruba looking men in the earlier photos probably have maternal yoruba ancestry.

I mean true.

If it seems too good to be ture, then it usually is?

Rule number 1 of online interaction, imo.

Thanks for answering the question to the best of your ability @ tbaba1234,

however, i'm still curious about why Mohammed did not practice polygamy while Khadija was alive.

Was monogamy practised by some arab cultures at that time?

Or what theories try to explain this?

^You sound like lefulefu, which is why i didnt bother breaking down your post to analyze it.

If you're not a woman then i think its rather far fetched to assume what you're assuming.

Of course the hair doctor will post whatever will bring him more customers. The fact remains women do not normally have male pattern baldness simply because such baldness is a hormonal thing based on male hormones.

Any baldness being referred to is not normal in women unless its due to weave ons, glue, etc. And like i pointed out before, majority of women do not use wigs on their hair. They use hair extensions instead. Minus the ones using the lace wigs of course.

The reason why women can continue to use hair weaves and glue ons even when there is serious hair loss, is because hair keeps growing after breakage until it reaches its normal length. Hair growth is a continuous process.



Anyway, i wont argue this point with you. I'm just waiting for the nigerian who is going to pioneer transplanting oyibo hair onto their head.

@ topic

need someone to explain the concept of time and time keeping in yorubaland prior to colonization.

It's a very old African convention

in some parts of africa maybe.

which ijaws are these?

some of them look yoruba.

i think some of the attires are new inventions, or recently introduced.

as per the bowler hats- a legacy of colonial times i believe.

or liberian or something?

^^lol, quite a lot is wrong with your post?

people who want to cover up bald spots which are a result of chemical processing of the hair, will use weave ons and hair extensions, not wigs.

the glue i believe, is what destroys the hair because its very difficult to get off.

also, black hair may have excessive breakage or hairline traction due to most of the above reasons, but i'd need to see actual photos of these bald spots some people are yapping about all over nl, in order to get an idea of what's being referred to here.

black women dont normally have bald spots or male pattern baldness unless its due to excessive perming, weave ons and the glue thing i mentioned earlier.

anyone seeing unnatural bald spots which werent caused by those, should get to a doctor.

Not sure where the idea of the children not being the biological offspring of the parents is coming from.

Trafficked children from baby farms generally look very distinct from each other and if there's any doubt as to a child's parentage when the kid doesnt look like the parents then check the parents' baby pictures if they have some.

In the absence of baby pictures (my parents for example dont have any, to the best of my knowledge, though i've seen their primary school ones), then check the grandparents., uncles, aunts, etc.

I think milk helps.
