perhaps.

the first one seams to have plaited hair underneath the "crown."  It might be a headress, but it would appear that the hair is visible underneath it.

what looks like plaited hair is actually beads or coral.

you might be right about the hair being plaited underneath, but i'm not certain. Compare the style with these:

this could be a hairstyle:

Even if the second one is a headscarf (it does appear to be knotted), those are clearly strings of beads.

here's the side view of the second one:

looks like a headtie to me.

you're male right? So you might not be familiar with scarf patterns.

ife ram's head. This is a fragment from a priest's attire. Note the similar forms even though the subject matter is different:

Couldn't find a modern picture, but I'm referring to how Olori decorate their braided hair with strings of beads.


Two terracottas that seem to show that:

i think the first one is wearing a crown. The three tiers are typical of some other crowns on the terracottas and bronzes. Will examine it more closely but it looks like a crown.

the second one has a scarf or head covering on. Its knotted in front.

[size=20pt]^^YOU ARE GETTING TOO IRRITATING.

PLEASE SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/size]

GEEZ!!!!!

Three of Murray's girlfriends said on the stand that the doctor had called them the night Jackson died, which suggested that he wasn't paying attention to his world famous patient.

huh?

what does this mean?

are they trying to further smear the doctor or they're saying he had at least three different girlfriends at the same time.

on top of the child support and stuff.


um, choices, but lord have mercy sha.

@ Negro Nations, the notion that the Kings of Benin were buried in Ife was quite literally due to the work of Percry A. Talbot, a European, in the 1920s. It is therefore interesting to read that you don't think much of the accounts of Europeans when they recorded earlier traditions. Egharevba read Talbot's work (among other sources) and he changed his earlier work to reflect that tradition. However, since you claim they were buried in Ife, can you tell me how members of the Okaeben buried the king of Benin in Ife?

the place where you constantly miss it is you are looking at the ife works as only art, ignoring the fact that the art has a purpose and function.

^yes, i want to hear your theories on the origin of benin bronze casting, since the thought of ife teaching benin is so difficult for you.

most Igbo women married to Yoruba or non-Igbo men marry only rich men from those communities

men who appear rich, not necessarily men who are rich.

there's a bit of a difference which many women dont discover until after the wedding.

^^that is another topic not meant for this thread.


its not about where anyone was buried or which stories have the most burials.

PhysicsQED:
Let's try and be objective here. This "bronze" casting thing was a Nigerian phenomenon, not a Yoruba phenomenon.

ok, so show us how exactly benin developed the art of bronze casting, and from where.

who taught them.

surely we wont be fed some magical story about how bronze casting just suddenly sprung up in benin overnight with no outside influence from anywhere.

physics qed

^^let me ask you a few questions.

1. what is the exact origin of the people who make up bini.

for edo in general, we have the auchi side which is igbiroid and/or nupoid.

ijaws still being contested but obviously a northern link somewhere.

but for benin- where exactly are the people from.

why do almost all of you here dodge this question unfailingly.

2. given the fact that benin was at various times a transit point for groups of people passing through there, why do you find it so hard to accept the fact that yorubas contributed greatly to the rise of benin empire. You're free to dispute this if you wish.


the facts as they stand are without yoruba there would be no benin empire.

once again, dispute that as you like.

hiss.

Al harem

you are kanuri.

Please stop the false claims.

Or maybe you're not nigerian at all?

If you're annoyed by this my post go and open another thread to attack yorubas- nobody frigging cares.

But stop this annoying habit of yours for goodness sake.


stick to kanuri- there are very few of them here so its likely nobody will contradict you if you claim you're one.

The ediot is just trying to derail the thread that's all.

Doesnt this section need an additional mod since other sections have at least two.

A mod with maturity plz, not some jumping cricket.

Is it just me, or is the number of s.tupid topics increasing by the day on nl.

Where do they breed these people?

I would so love to see the profiling on some of them.

Ie their psychological makeup and what exactly in their background makes them constantly function at abysmal levels.

Hope he has a lot of houses.

What exactly is mukina whining about there?

The op is clearly one of these jobless male schizos who pretend to be female.

No sane woman would have such a user id.

Stop being gullible people. This is nl.

I'm not sure paying them actual cash is necessary.

What will they use the money for?

It might be better to give them meals and school supplies.

The money could have simply been placed in bank accounts for them to access ongraduation or when they reach a certain age. Or be used towards furthering their education.

Its a good thought but at the same time others might influence them to develop bad spending habits - remember drug dealers are everywhere.

I hope the teachers are also receiving some incentive?

If she's going to be charged for it then i think she'll have to retract her story because the consequences of not doing so are too drastic.

^Why on earth are you beating yourself up so much over these ladies.

Just let them hang out with whoever they feel comfortable with- you'll find your own missing rib sometime, dont worry about it.

I see no reason why you're constantly apologizing to them and multiple times for that matter and neither of them is acknowledging your effort or returning the favour.

I dont think its too much to ask for people to show a little politeness in such situations- you've said you're sorry for whatever transpired so why are they still keeping malice.

Just my two cents o! Its not like i know you from anywhere and i dont even practice the same religion as you. But i think some things are self evident when it comes to basic human interaction.

Even the edo men men self is bini to be precise.

And not every bini at that but mainly the ones who appear marriageable.

Not the likes of some characters on nl.

So many miserable people whipping themselves on this thread. . . . . .

I wish you'd allow Jesus to heal your pain.
