ikenna is fine.

mike something's own is too much.

all the others- no biggie, imo.

well, i'm not saying what it was anyway.

thank goodness there were better behaved gentlemen in fajuyi hall.

that awo hall is very uncivilized.

it was one silly guy who was singing.

the tapas in question must have been mixed, because nupes are traditional enemies of the yoruba.

also, yorubas share customs with many tribes all over nigeria, including hausa.

^^
that wasnt the song and remember- i was only a visitor.

^^those kids can probably spell better than you?

thank you.

suffixes and prefixes are generally used to "place" people ie based on familial ties and cultural/occupational/deity affiliation, but nowadays many of the actual contexts arent known.

no biggie if people are praying for husband in church?

God will surely bring them their own man with no comma.

i dont see what's shocking about it.

yorubas say ta ba dake tara wa a ba wa dake.

^^are you sure jakande isnt a yoruba name, given the fact that many rulers were called ajaka in the olden days.

many yoruba names are shortened from longer versions, so people should stop tripping.

if you're trying to analyze a condensed form of a name then of course you wont get the actual meaning.

its like asking what the name Bill means.

Awo was always fun those days cos the argument was kinda constructive but loud,and i remember PG with dem seniority issues trying to block off under G from their TV room

pg hall was great.

awo hall was full of touts.

the first time i went there looking for my friend, somebody was singing one useless song for me simply because i no get yansh and was slightly skinny?

nonsense.

Quarters kids were the wildest of the lot.

My goodness.

My friend who stayed there almost ran away when dem no wan gree make im no s.ex women every day. No name under the sun that they didnt call him.

They party like nobody's business too.

The thread does make it seem like the students spend most of their time having s.ex.

These things depend on priorities. Some student spend a great amount of time having s.ex while others dont.

It all depends on what a person considers priorities.

Eni ma se, a se. Eni tooni se ooni se.

That's simply what it all comes down to.

Some of my friends did it while others didnt. Some were severely tempted, lol, but still escaped and hopefully didnt hang out in dark corners with boys again.

Its "bad" but youth service is worse sha.

All these raging hormones.

poster why are you asking so many questions about yoruba.

^^we've all been there sweetie.

but first and foremost you should weigh if the need to share with strangers on the www should transcend your daughter's need to have a mum who doesnt reveal every single thing on the web.

it's not like the incident just happened and you're still adjusting to the situation.

you said it's been 8 years.

i'm just saying- you never know who's following your posts online.

also, i hope you can get closer to God and trust in his wisdom.

danjohn:
On a more serious note, I know that it is easy to sensationalize this horrible looking school.  However, we must remember that Nigeria is a poor country with limited resources.  The three most important factors controllable by government are as follows:

1. The teacher
2. The curriculum
3. Teaching Aid (Notebooks, textbooks, Chalkboard, Pens etc).

As long  as the above three are provided, any child can learn.  It does not matter if a child is home schooled, as long as he or she has a good teacher, a solid curriculum, and good teaching aid, the child will excel.  We must remember that Yaradua built brand new school buildings in Kastina but Kastina still had the worst Common Entrance and WAEC results in the country.

Nonetheless, this does not excuse the poor state of this school.  The government has dropped the ball on education big time.  To fix this, we must begin by bringing dignity back to the teaching profession and providing our kids with the tools they need to learn.  Although I think that good teachers, strong curricula, and excellent teaching aids should be the first priority, our schools still need to be conducive places to learn.  The roofing of that school for example will making it impossible students to learn during the raining season. 

In Nigeria we have taken our standard of what should be the "bare minimum" to an extreme.  The bare minimum for a school building should be good roofing with no leaks, hygienic environment, cross ventilation, chalk board, enough desks and chairs, and not more than X kids in a classroom.  With that you are good to go. This school building falls below what the bare minimum should be and it is unfortunate.

you've said it all.

the nigerian govt needs to make maintenance of educational institutions a priority.

I dont see what the fuss is about here.

The school is in a rural area, looks cleaner than most bigger towns in nigeria, and obviously, is still under construction.

The bricks are arranged in such a way as to provide maximum ventilation in the summer heat, and there's a lot of space for kids to play soccer.

The photo with the unbuttoned shirt was taken during the lunch break most likely and that's why the children look dusty and the boy didnt button his shirt.

Anyone who schooled in nigeria should be familiar with that scenario unless they were rich.

the main problems here are the thatched roofs, and once the proper roofing is done, the entire school will look better.

i'm more interested in finding out what the overall testing results are for the place.

btw, are there any signs or something verifying the fact that this isnt all a pose for the camera?

i'd like to know more about jonathan's background sha.

he always looks rather animated when he's with the wife. . . . . . .

how did he avoid the husband snatchers and p.imps since.

azeez

ibrahim

yusuf

yakubu [might be offensive to some]

taofik

jubril

rasheed

there's one that starts with Q which skips me at the moment. . . . .

hope the suggestions arent for 419?

usually when people start making noise in the media over something in this manner, it means the govt or an organization somewhere is about to start pouring funds into it.

ie an influx of cash is expected.

But they know where to find the key, if they need to buy a Jeep for one of their girlfriends!!

good point.



@ topic


we dont know the details yet.

Is delta state building facilities for the disabled and was a request specifically made to send them home.

just asking.

Yes his name is Dapo but he changed it to Stephanie I think he is in Spain now and he has changed his sex completely. See his facebook page

lord have mercy- see how he resembles a girl.

transgender is the in thing now sha, and they're seriously gaining ground overseas, so i guess good thing he migrated?

i heard there was an underground club. . . . . . . . . . .

its the end times.

s/he's probably a nler too. . . . . . .

he can easily pass for black, so why not cross over into a black country.



what exactly is he being accused of?

all the other sons have been killed i think.

lord have mercy.

not that i'm aware of.

need i ask the purpose of the thread?

i think people are still helping out whichever way they can.

i do see where they're coming from even if the policy is a bit strict.

but i dont hear you folks complaining about nostradamus or his followers when they remind the world about his "prophecies" which also predict doom, gloom and earthquakes.

ife was nice sha.

but change is always inevitable.


wonder if anyone i know is still there- its been a while.



my feelings:

Say goodbye
But not knowing when
The truth of my whole life began

Say goodbye
But now knowing how
To cry you taught me that

And I'll remember
The strength that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember
The way that you saved me
I'll remember

Inside, I was a child that could mend a broken wing
Outside, I looked for a way to teach my heart to sing

And I'll remember
The love that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember
The way that you changed me
I'll remember



I learned to let go
Of the illusion that we can possess
I learned to let go
And travel in stillness




**Is that brandon fraser in the video?**

^^well, you could rephrase your thread title to a more mature one?
