TV/Movies › Re: Will Smith's Terrible Nigerian Accent As Dr. Bennet Omalu In "Concussion” by tpiander: 6:04pm On Sep 01, 2015

In all his big budget movies, Will Smith almost never has the carefree, happy persona he portrayed in Fresh Prince.

I guess its because Fresh Prince was comedy.

as per accent, happens all the time.

Dr Omalu sounds more like a northerner though.

Angelou:
sorry but tiger do exists and tiger is what is called Ekun in Yoruba

Tiger exists in Asia, not Africa (certainly not west Africa), and there's no word for it.

Ekun is leopard but might be extended to mean tiger in a general sense for big cat.

dictbennie:
Oga, before you come here to inform gullible persons here trash here, let me educate you....The Apoi's of ondo state are not yorubas, they migrated from Apoi clan in Bayelsa state just like the Arogbos that migrated from Gbaraun in Bayelsa state...the Apoi's bear Yoruba names nd speak like them because of the influence of their neighbours I.e the ikales and the Ilajes..Even the arogbos include some Yoruba words to the Ijaw dialect they speak...As I am talking to you, the Apoi's have traced their origin to the Apoi clan of Bayelsa state which speak the same dialect ijaw like the Arogbos and have started calling their kids ijaw names..I have a few of them as friends...and a family friend was one of the persons that went to Bayelsa then...That's far the Apoi's are now telling their arogbo brothers that they are not more ijaw than them....The AROGBO IJAWS and the APOI'S are pure Ijaw people.....any Apoi man that denies it, doesn't know his origin...simple!

any recent "tracing of origins" is most likely mercenary in nature and origin and as such, probably manipulated and not necessarily valid.

Possibly the Apoi (or some Apoi) might have been descendants of Ijaw fathers and Yoruba mothers, I think there's a group with such links although I'm not sure.

Point of correction . . .Leopard is Ekun, Cheetah is Amotekun,

you are probably right.

at least, cheetahs are native to Africa.

Culture › Re: Kindly Open And Learn.yoruba Culture Must Not Go Extinct!!! by tpiander: 12:23am On Sep 01, 2015

Leopard is Ekun.

Tigers are not native to Africa or west Africa, so there would be no indigenous word for them unless the soldiers who saw them in Asia, came back with stories. And they'd probably call them ekun since they are big cats. However, technically ekun is leopard.

Sorry to burst your bubble but, Adonis wasn't a god. Infact, the most interesting fact about him was dat Persephone (Mrs. Hades) and Aphrodite fought over him. The resolution; half a year with one then the other.

wokomabest:
salary deduction or as the case maybe SACK, if you are stubborn

there is no salary deduction for lateness, unless you are on the time clock system.

the normal procedure is to issue a warning and then observe for signs of improvement.

if there are none, as in maybe up to six latenesses within say a month, then you place on probation or something. Sacking is an extreme measure especially given the fact that this is a govt job. Doesn't speak well for the economy.

besides, all this yin and yang should be modified/reduced. undecided

if people are late, there is a procedure to be followed and you can request their bosses to inform you of any subsequent lateness and also submit a written follow up of how lateness was effectively discouraged and productivity increased by what percentage as a result of the measures taken.

Not elementary or secondary school mode.

Is it being requested by overseas sponsors? huh

first there was you know who before he brought in a sponsored lady, then there was a second one where people were kneeling and prostrating but then a meeting was later arranged with **the big one** and now there's this drama.

Folks, let us stop selling ourselves because of foreign mirrors and brightly coloured handkerchiefs.

You don't punish a worker for coming late to work just for a single late coming rather you give him benefit of doubt and if he continues; query follows before a sanction..
