I dont see why Nigerian govt officials and celebrities are not told to not travel to foreign countries and make trouble for Nigerians there, but Nigerians going to Nigeria should not come?

I might be missing something sha.

security issues?

ok, noted.

Are other people's old apartment under scrutiny as well?

friends today, enemies tomorrow.

always fear God in everything you do.

the day God decides to hear the cry of the oppressed. . . . . . . . .you will know there is no other God besides the Lord.

A day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like a day.

excellencyabia1:
Why is it that God does not answer people until the issue gets out of hand or someone dies. Is it that he don't have the same equal feelings for all?

Can you explain better?

God says it is not His will that anyone should perish.

If things appear otherwise, then it is due to people and/or principalities.

Why are you posting people's names?

My brother called me and told me to go to this site.. https://www.naij.com/780359-lost-child.html and call him back. He is not a nairalander but was surprised to see the story there.
Is it ok for someone to do that? Especially editing some of my write ups. Just asking though.

What was edited and where did you originally post it?

^you should change your personal text, its offensive.

links, videos?

If monorail cant be built in the south then they should move it to Abuja.

What a creepy story.

Lord have mercy.

The Adolor of Uromi is an honorary title. I will stop being silly, I notice I tend to do that on most threads.

Honorary title you say.

Dont take the shine away from the subject of the thread.

She looks extremely gorgeous

she can try longer eyelashes to make for the shapes in this picture.

The wall pattern.

the names are even from different parts of Africa.

According to the write up, Makeda is an Ethiopian name meaning queen.

I think I agree this naming pattern might affect the innocent baby.

Just give her a Portuguese name.

If the father is Afreeka instead of Africa, why must the baby be the one to carry traditional naming patterns?

nextstep:
I don't know about the veracity of this particular story, but I've observed this phenomenon in several countries where language imperialism still holds sway, albeit in subtle ways.

I doubt the officials would object to naming the child Mary (Hebrew), Katherine (English), Rosaria (Spanish), Stephanie (French), Heidi (German), or Anastasia (Greek). None of these are Portuguese sounding. Are you telling me that parents from other parts of the world who reside in Brazil are denied their choice of baby names to reflect their own origin?

This is a racist and ignorant policy. Yoruba names are just as valid as names from other countries in Europe. Yes, the child may be subject to some bullying in school (but shouldn't teachers and other adults be sensitized to prevent children from doing it), but that is not sufficient reason to deny a child her heritage.

if that's their law (I dont know though), then the parents should make the child's name sound more Portuguese.

I dont see anything to fight over.

who is this one again?

heo88:
That will not work. The composition of the Portuguese language is such that it greatly diverges from the yoruba language. Consequently if they choose a more 'Portuguese sounding' name, this will completely change the meaning, thereby defeating the initial purpose.

seems Foluke means surrendered into the hands of God, therefore the literal translation into Portuguese would be Rendeu-se nas maos de Deus (from google).

They can try contracting it into a name since the meaning can also be expressed in their native Portuguese.

the only problem with adding the "ho" is people will change it to "ho".

maybe try Foluxe or Foluques also.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portuguese_name

what edition is the Yoruba bible, do you know? I mean what year.

The trip seems interesting but I havent been into visiting slavery monuments so far, dont know why. Maybe some time when I'm in Nigeria, if our leaders allow me to come.

Would have been nice to see the fish catch though.

Bnladan:
U cud hv add "ino" or "ho in d name. Smthn lyk "Folukinho" or "Folukino". Dey'll accept d name

exactly.

Why not change the spellings to sound Portuguese.

prinsam30:
Bros with all the big big grammar wey u dey blow since u com end am with "So Therefore"

Abeg if u speak simply English nobody go say u no go school, so learn to type in simple English and let live. in Dbanj voice "Osè"

I was typing in annoyance, hence the error.

Didnt feel like correcting it yet.

I just dont know why some of these leaders spend their resources fighting ordinary citizens!

lord have mercy.

ota po.

YOUNGELDER1:
if the people around me can give me directions dont you think i would ask them ? beside i got the info very late and i am to retrieve as early as possible .. between when did it become a crime to ask for directions on Nairaland ? or don't i have the right too now get out off my post if you have nothing meaningful to say .

so people who do not have access to internet, how do they get to Jibowu from Yaba or anywhere?

And to top your weird request, you also added an "incentive" of airtime.

Are you alright?
