Odumchi

giwa is not specific to yoruba.

It's from edo mostly and maybe parts of delta like relax pointed out.

Though i think a warning might have sufficed for a first offence, in this instance.

Oh well, lord have mercy.

Joagbaje

the cnn advert doesnt necessarily mean the vehicle featured didnt have a towing permit.

What kind of truck did the towing?

A commercial truck or an suv?

In any case, one can also assume the commercial wouldnt be intended to imply its ok to tow a vehicle without a required permit.

Overseas people can get stopped for practically anything especially if you're you know what colour, so deciding to tow a vehicle without a required permit might be risky.

In addition, what happened to the artists and guilds who made these sculptures? huh

Were they enslaved, killed or exiled to other places where they did not practice their skills. That would be hard but maybe its possible since most of the scultpure is linked to the royal court and also ceremonial rituals. So if there was war which seriously destablished the known order of things, the artists would be without a base to practice their skills.

Just guessing here.

Yoruba history has to be considered chronologically in order to get a clearer picture that can cover the missing gaps.

And no, this isnt an invitation to other tribes to start jumping in with all kinds of imaginary fables.

What were the effects of the centuries long crusades on subsaharan africa, for example. Europeans reached northern africa at this time and there was much interaction between them and the middle east.

What was the impact of the dark ages on black africa?

Just a few questions.

I already did? huh

I said there are indigenous people of hausa, nupe, igala, egbira, etc ancestry in the areas you mentioned.

i guess there's no need to mention the arab conquest of the middle east when looking for missing links mentioning yoruba or nigerian culture? huh


no people were pushed southwards? huh

Christianity Etc › Re: Is It A Crime To Help A Brother Out? by tpia5: 10:20pm On Nov 11, 2011
^^how do you know there was no permit? huh

westerners tend to tow things like boats, cars [when in RVs], etc.

they generally have permits for such, i should think.

even when its just for recreation.

and who doesnt?

i'll just wait for the photoshopped and airbrushed pictures, when the contestants are properly made up and stuff.

i guess miss bayelsa will be hearing good news about this pageant? huh

miss ogun and a couple of other ones are fairly ok.
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Does God Allow His Children To Suffer? Let's Share by tpia5: 8:56pm On Nov 11, 2011
thats the reason God drew the attention of Satan in his life,most of his riches/treasures in his early days has some element of Satan in them.
If our blessings is mixed with some element of Satan,God will definitely strip them all out.
this seems to match the closing chapters of the book of Job.

very hard to handle however.

I am told by grapevine that you are a Bini prince.
dont princes and princesses make up like about 1/4 of the nigerian population of 150 million? huh
Culture › Re: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by tpia5: 8:46pm On Nov 11, 2011
the full works by Bello that details the tracks of migration
hmm.

well, gaddafi who made reference to some such, is no more.

though i dont see why it's that important, really. I mean to warrant such measures. West africa was too decimated by the slave trade for these things to have the kind of big impact people are thinking.

just my opinion and of course i could be wrong.
Family › Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by tpia5: 8:39pm On Nov 11, 2011
She said her husband raised N200 which she uses to buy and sell ‘pure’ water.
Jesus.

how much is N200? huh

isnt that like $1.50? huh

and he had to "raise" that? huh

omg.
Family › Re: Man Raises Family Under Lagos Bridge by tpia5: 8:37pm On Nov 11, 2011
Despite the pains and challenges of living under the bridge with snakes and cats, his wife told P.M.NEWS that she would not abandon Monday because she loved and married him seven years ago when things were rosy for them.

She said her family wants her to dump her husband because of his condition but she refused, insisting that marriage is for better and for worse.

Because of her obstinacy her family abandoned her to her fate.
i wonder why the likes of lefulefu, his partners in crime like cork crook, tosinville, etc seem to be avoiding this thread.

maybe they havent seen it yet? huh
Foreign Affairs › Re: Herman Cain! by tpia5: 8:31pm On Nov 11, 2011

your quickness to use the "ugly" label makes it seem like you have a guilty conscience.

TV/Movies › Re: Michael Okwu, Nigerian On Nbc/msnbc by tpia5: 8:21pm On Nov 11, 2011
^^are you alright? huh

you're the one announcing and broadcasting here, not me.

i just think its very silly to start hyping somebody then say he's a nler and refuse to reveal his user id.

i am not a celebrity and neither am i promoting myself or anybody.

if i were to do so while mentioning the person is on nl, then i'll say their user name as well.

kapish? huh


michael okwu isnt unknown to most people who watch cnn. You can post about him in celebrity section or something- no need to start mentioning he's on nl if you're not going to show who he is here.

was nl featured on cnn or what exactly are we supposed to be celebrating? The many lagos gutters we saw there? huh

op i went through your posts and you seem to have a s.ex addiction.

so, not surprising.

quite hard dealing with that- only people who can help you are God and yourself.
Christianity Etc › Re: I Can't Get Off The Religious Section -Is This Because Of Remote Control by tpia5: 8:11pm On Nov 11, 2011
its internet addiction and is quite common.

having some other activity helps to slow it down.

Are you saying, there are indigenous hausa people from Anioma or parts of Edo?
^^people of hausa ancestry.

hausa, nupe, igala, egbira, etc.

is that so hard to figure out?

migration, intermarriage, etc.
Christianity Etc › Re: I Cant Remember The Last Time I Read My Bible by tpia5: 7:25pm On Nov 11, 2011
i read the internet version sometimes when i'm online.

not meaning i dont touch the paper one at all.

in addition, the bible websites allow you to line up different versions and passages side by side, rather like some reference bibles.

i read it much more when i was younger, is what i meant.

Is this still ongoing? huh

Where can we get a clear picture of what's happening in the north? huh

We're only hearing bits and pieces.

It sounds rather like the maitastine stuff though i'm not sure.

Why not impose a blockade on any troubled region. No one gets in and no one gets out.
Christianity Etc › Re: I Cant Remember The Last Time I Read My Bible by tpia5: 6:49pm On Nov 11, 2011
All you have to do is open one.

Is something in your life precluding that option? huh

I dont read the bible as much as i did when i was younger (unfortunately) but i still read it online, in addition to the actual paper version.

Christianity Etc › Re: Is It A Crime To Help A Brother Out? by tpia5: 6:35pm On Nov 11, 2011
I guess another option would be to push the car to the side of the road and give the driver a lift to his destination.

However, for security reasons, since it IS nigeria, helping him call a cab could also be considered.

Things are hard sometimes.
