Family › Re: Is Public Breastfeeding Appropriate? by tpia5: 7:24pm On Oct 29, 2011
I was in the banking hall once--a very public place by most standards--when the lady seated next to me, perhaps in an effort to quieten her noisy baby, whipped out the WHOLE DAMN THING and shoved it into the baby's mouth
a reason why nursing mothers need to wear large, loose blouses when going out with their baby.

in addition, breastmilk can be bottlefed these days.

Some people need to watch out for the early signs of madness in their thought pattern, and get help.
Family › Re: What Is The Worst Disability In Human? by tpia5: 5:41pm On Oct 29, 2011
Sometimes i wonder at the kind of s.tupidity which makes people open threads of this nature.

May God have mercy on we humans.

Why do people look at somebody and say thank God i am better than that person because i have some physical attribute which is better than that person's own.

Do you know your future? huh

Why are some folks so d.aft.

And is it by force to start a thread.

Where is your actual hometown and where is your maternal side from.

I dont know why these low self esteem f.ools must always mention yoruba girls anytime they're jacking off.

It seems in ancient times igbo was the name of a town to the south of enugu.

Back then people considered their ethnicity to be that of their idividual hometowns.

The people to the north of igboland now applied the name to their southern neighbours, and that was how it stuck. Maybe they had some dealings with the actual town called igbo? huh

Also, the europeans in america especially tagged every african brought in from a particular area, igbo. So with time, the entire area came to self identify as igbo.

Anyone who is annoyed by my posts here should attack me when i get back. I need to log off now.

also, @ topic

some old igbo names are based on market days, as we can see from this write up:

http://www.crvp.org/book/Series02/II-3/chapter_viii.htm


majority of the female names used to start with nw, for some reason. I'd noticed this before.

Abagworo:
Elugu is more or less the lower half of Igbo that would use it as hilltop in reference to people living up North.
quite correct about the hill top meaning.

however, isnt enugu itself northern igboland.


Up - Elu - Enu. eg Enugu or Elugu
seems elugu is elu ugwu.

elu is hill, or up.
Culture › Re: What Is Reason Behind Bearing Names With Igbo Suffixes And Prefixes Among Igbo? by tpia5: 12:33am On Oct 29, 2011
other names include odiri [meaning king's son]- probably odili today.

kamalu, long form of kalu.

enugu used to be known as elugu, showing some consonants have been changed.

if there's an actual town called elugu today, in the southeast, then i stand corrected.

elu ugwu [elugu] means hill top.

Foreign Affairs › Re: The Lies Against Brother Leader Muammar Gaddafi by tpia5: 11:32pm On Oct 28, 2011
^^what I read was gaddafi instituted laws that made it very difficult to marry more than one wife.

now the new govt wants to reverse that and encourage polygamy.

as for polygamy being either muslim or arabic [not both]- the answer to that isnt certain.

^^i'm yet to come across people with igbo in their names in ancient times.

of course i could be wrong, but folks from back then generally had names in which each constituent part, had a meaning.


assuming igbo was a name form in the olden days, then it should have a specific meaning which is decipherable as well.

figuratively speaking.

and ancient times here would imply before a great grandfather's time.

let's assume for most people, their great grandfather's time would be around the early part of the 20th century, or at a stretch, the later part of the 19th century.

^^maybe i read his post wrong.

will check it again.


i grew up with one Igboanugo family and neither their grandfather nor their father was named Igboanugo. The name was a very old name
if he means the great grandfather was the one named igboanugo, then igbo might have been getting popular as a prefix/suffix around those times.

Romance › Re: Why Do Women Love Adjectives? by tpia5: 9:35pm On Oct 28, 2011
men do it more but when they do theirs, they're more likely to be able to back up the claim. [not counting that d.aft cockerel called fstranger aka arsenefc of course. Very s.tupid fellow].

a woman who often describes herself as smart, on the other hand, might come across as weird and vain, and sometimes, actually isnt as bright as she thinks she is.

just my opinion.

my point is, most smart women dont call themselves that, probably because they're busy thinking of and figuring out things, not reflecting on how smart they are. That's also why they tend towards street foolishness.

am i making sense.
