God have mercy on us all.

also, i still think there could be a connection between ikunle and okun.

this kun seems to be a rather peculiar unit in yoruba.

words like

ikunle

okun

akun

ekun

ikun

all have kun in them and they are all significant in yoruba thought.

negro nts

every language can be analyzed and studied as linguistic units.

that's all i did with the ikunle and idobale references.

you're looking at language from a mystical or esoteric viewpoint while i'm checking the pragmatic one.

notwithstanding, we were still almost at the same conclusion initially, just that i'm not so much into the metaphysical stuff.

ikunle could be what you said, and it could also refer to childbirth.

exotik just mainly derails most threads he posts on.

i'm sure he has multiple ids here and this one is only to scatter threads.

wouldnt be surprised if he's masquerading as a yoruba with another id.

well, enjoy your jealousy- na you sabi.
Education › Re: Church Universities Are The Most Expensive In Nigeria by tpia5: 4:08pm On Oct 30, 2011
the university experience isnt about education alone.

its supposed to be well rounded in all areas, not just learning.

and no, i'm not referring to x rated activities.

fstranger/asiwinfc dont respond to my post, thanks.

in addition, may i point out that students in nigeria have a lot of options when it comes to choosing which university to attend?

op, i think there's something a bit off about how you're presenting yourself here.

just my opinion.

its not about the op being right or wrong- he just needs to apologize to[b] GOD [/b] alone, that's all.


if he likes let him not do so.

@ duke4ever

the question was why do people who reject God live seemingly happy lives.

My point wasnt that all of them live happy lives, but that many of them can teach christians a thing or two when it comes to things like personal ethics, priorities and self discipline.

That's all, and no need for argument.

Politics › Re: Are There More Men Than Women In Nigeria? by tpia5: 12:46am On Oct 30, 2011
Despite the population ratio, there are still more spinsters than bachelors so no problem yet
that's because not all the men are available for marriage.

you have to consider the ones out of circulation due to a preference for alternative lifestyles, the ones who dont marry early, the ones who are drug addicted to the point of incapacitation, etc etc.

being a man doesnt automatically mean someone is husband material, or willing to take on the responsibilities of marriage.

i agree with pstylish' post.

so you're saying you're ijebu, with an egba mum.

why is it you're not familiar with yoruba culture and traditions?

did you leave nigeria at an early age?
Culture › Re: Prostration Among The Yoruba And The Israelites by tpia5: 12:36am On Oct 30, 2011
I didnt know someone was asking for the meaning of Idoba'le and Ikun'le. The two also are of semitic origin
are you sure.

i think we should look at the tonal difference between ikunle, whose literal meaning is "full ground" or occupy ground [in a way], and okun, which means sea.

the meaning of kun is not well defined yet. [btw where did you get your definition from].

it seems to be more of a syllable or morpheme than a word.

idobale : not sure about this one. Le, or ile is ground while "i" is the act of [verb]. Dob, or do'b, is a compressed form of something.

of course it could also be broken down in a different way, with oba, or doba being the operator.

@ topic

1. the same reason why many christian marriages end in divorce while many non-christian couples are living happily together even though they dont know Christ.

it all boils down to discipline, personal ethics, and moral values.


2. happiness is a very subjective term.


3. your thread title has two questions in it.

i'm responding to the 2nd one.

the answer to the first question is no.

Family › Re: Is Public Breastfeeding Appropriate? by tpia5: 10:24pm On Oct 29, 2011
There are clothes you can wear which are specifically designed for breastfeeding.

Of course whoever wants to breastfeed in public can do so since its not illegal and the baby needs to be fed, but nothing wrong with trying to do it quietly.

And yes, we all know how it is with crying babies.

Most times if the baby yells properly a lot of people would be too frazzled to complain about the mother pulling out her breast to pacify it. I think its if you didnt hear the baby cry that you'll notice the mother's breast.
Family › Re: Is Public Breastfeeding Appropriate? by tpia5: 8:01pm On Oct 29, 2011
if you're a nursing mother going out with your baby, wear a blouse that facilitates breastfeeding without exposing the whole breast.

no big deal and nothing to get offended about.

nobody said it was easy pacifying a cranky baby.

Business › Re: Firm Demands N200m From OAU For 1982 Building Contract by tpia5: 7:29pm On Oct 29, 2011
but i feel a moremi extension is needed ie one or two more halls because most of the hostels are overcrowded.

and that open space was ok- too bad they used it for something else.

why not build another girls hostel there and move any new lecture halls further down instead- like around white house area.

anyway, its all good.
