^^ok, for want of something better to do. you jumped in from nowhere and called him aggressive, primitive, dumbo and said he has neurotic aggression. he responded and called you a wily eediot [btw, you feel you didnt deserve it?] his response was very mild, sweetie. and also, if you're sensitive, then learn to observe and not participate in some threads? |

Aigbofa:Dede1 still respects rules of engagement and he has more courtesy than many i.diots i could name. if you think he's discourteous, wait until some better appreciate. obviously he has bitter memories of the war but he's still more balanced than some other ones who probably never saw a day's fighting in their lives yet carry matter for head when they might not even be igbo. |

Somewhere in your mind, whatever you post will always mean something, but in actuality, it doesnt. You're a grown woman and you should also know your place. It's hard to respect grown women who do not respect themselves.[/quote]look in your mirror dearie. that's not me you're seeing. respect yourself and stop acting like a brat. You're a grown female, in case you havent noticed. |

delarue i've reported your post because it's uncalled for. ileke idi you really need to stop stalking Dede1. If something else dey there, kindly tell him openly or whatever. babapupa is a grown man who can hold his own and btw,and in any discussion of nigerian history, things are bound to get heated so i dont know exactly what your angle is here. and if my memory serves me right, should babapupa open a thread about lagos, you bare your fangs. |

^^the problem with nigeria is this inability to see the wider picture. Igbos consider it a compliment to be called Igbo Americans. Yorubas, on the other hand, do not feel the same way about being called Yoruba Americans, and besides the man involved did not say he did his work because of yoruba people. it cant get clearer than that. |

Your post should have read 50 reasons why we should not celebrate 50 years of independence.cant argue with that. the 50 should be celebrated with fasting, prayer and sackcloth, no less. not fanfare. |

^^wrong again. if a Yoruba in France or Ijebu-Ode is speaking in his language, he would say he's speaking Yoruba.an Ijebu speaking his language will say he's speaking ijebu. likewise other regions. If Oyibo people at Cal. State University are asking what attire/group is Aso Oke , Yoruba present can say its Yoruba attire,is the thread about aso oke?  |

^^hating nigeria doesnt mean the country has vanished into thin air. For now, until the place breaks up as you all are working towards, the region called nigeria still exists. there are yorubas outside nigeria and as such the thread title is wrong. period. **i guess we should be thankful the op didnt title her thread Yoruba american perhaps? Or ofe mmanu american?** |

A good possibility for a source of "Niger" remains the Tuareg phrase gher n gheren "river of rivers", shortened to ngher. Some Medieval and late Classical European maps used the name "Niger" applied only to the middle reaches of the river, in modern Mali, while Quorra or Kworra was used for the lower reaches in modern Nigeria. The origin of the river's name remains unclear. What is clear is that "Niger" was an appellation applied in the Mediterranean world from at least the Classical era, when knowledge of the area by Europeans was slightly better than fable. A careful study of Classical writings on the interior of the Sahara begins with Ptolemy, who mentions two rivers in the desert: the "Gir" and farther south, the "Ni-Gir".[6] The first has been since identified as the Wadi Ghir on the north western edge of the Tuat, along the borders of modern Morocco and Algeria.[7] This would likely have been as far as Ptolemy would have had consistent records. The Ni-Ger was likely speculation, although the name stuck as that of a river south of the Mediterranean's "known world". Suetonius reports Romans traveling to the "Ger", although in reporting any river's name derived from a Berber language, in which "gher" means "watercourse", confusion could easily arise. Pliny connected these two rivers as one long watercourse which flowed (via lakes and underground sections) into the Nile,[9] a notion which persisted in the Arab and European worlds – and further added the Senegal River as the "Ger" – until the 19th century. The connection to the Nile River was made not simply because this was then known as the great river of "Aethiopia" (by which all lands south of the desert were called by Classical writers), but because the Nile flooded every summer. In Europe and Western Asia, floods are expected in the Spring, following snow melt. Classical authors explained the summer flood by calculating the time it took for flood waters to move down a river, and calculating how long the Nile must have been for the waters to travel from a mountain range in the spring. The cycle of the Nile is based on tropical rain patterns though, not snow melt, something unknown to the Classical Mediterranean world.[10] Through the descriptions of Leo Africanus and even Ibn Battuta – despite his visit to the river – the myth connecting the Niger to the Nile persisted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niger_River |

nigeria has no national drink unless you consider tea a national drink. northern nigeria has kunu and zobo as their national drink. southern nigeria has palmwine, native gin, etc as their own drink. anyone with more info should correct me. |

^^you do not need opinion. what you need is to get your behind out of creating daft threads. you've received enough advice- if you cant live with your girlfriend then find someone else and let her get a more matured and responsible guy. i dont respect men who start threads like these. neither do i think you're above suspicion yourself, given the nature of some ritualistic africans. |
