it would be better if you kept all such questions on a thread meant for that purpose.

If you need to discuss Lyme Disease which is spread by ticks as shown in your picture, then health section is the place for it.

please show some intelligence.

also, search google or any medical website.

the hostility is out of proportion to the actual Christian activity here.

JuanDeDios:

I would have thought that was obvious. Ok, let me explain it for you.

Different languages take different tones and these names don't sound Yoruba. They don't even sound Niger-Congo. In fact, they sound English. Yet it appears only Yoruba people are seen or heard to bear them. Hence I'm wondering if they're Yoruba names or not. Thank you.

they're probably found along the coast as well, you can check the previous responses on the thread.

from your user id, are you latin American? huh

@ topic

what is needed in most parts of Nigeria is a checks and balances system which can promote development pari passu.

focusing on tribe is not necessarily the answer right now, different rules apply to different regions.

just my opinion.

Foreign Affairs › Stock Market Turmoil: Stocks Higher At The Open, But Will It Last? by tpiander(op): 5:10pm On Aug 26, 2015

Stocks rocketed higher on Wednesday as investors waited to see whether the market could snap a six-day losing streak that shaved almost 2,000 points off the Dow Jones industrial average. The Dow gained as much as 433 points before retreating. A half-hour into trading, the Dow was up 300 points, or 1.9 percent, at 15,966. As investors just saw, though, those gains don't always last: On Tuesday, the average spiked more than 400 points at the open but closed down more than 200.

For a third straight day, the New York Stock Exchange invoked a little-known rule designed to ease market volatility. Before Monday, that rule had not been used since the 2008 financial crisis. Stocks closed lower by 1.3 percent overnight in China, even after the central bank there cut interest rates to help the economy. Investor worries about China, a major driver of global economic growth, have driven the furious sell-off in world markets. In Europe, stocks were slightly higher on Wednesday. The Dow lost about 1,900 points from Aug. 17 to Tuesday, and it's down about 14 percent from its all-time high in May — well into what is known as a correction.

US stocks open sharply higher after 6-day slump

U.S. stocks are opening sharply higher Wednesday after slumping for six straight days amid concern that growth in China was slowing more quickly than previously thought. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 370 points, or 2.4 percent, to 16,041 as of 9:37 a.m. Eastern. The Standard & Poor's 500 index gained 41.09 points, or 2.1 percent, to 1,906.61. The Nasdaq composite climbed 101 points, or 2.3 percent, to 4,607. Treasury bonds fell, pushing up the yield on the benchmark 10-year note to 2.16 percent.

monalicious:
Names and their meanings have a way of reflecting in one's characters,@ times.instead of changing these traditional names which have a fetish meaning,to a foreign name,one could easily remove the fetish part of the name and replace it with whatever they like.

makes sense.

Radoillo:
I do not think the name Coker was from Brazil. It's an English, not a Brazilian (Portuguese) name. It seems to me that prexios' comment confuses two groups of returnees: the Brazilian returnees (the Aguda or the Amaro) and the Sierra Leonean returnees (the Saro).

The Aguda had been slaves in South America and had acquired Portuguese names thus. Most Saro were descendants of captives rescued from slave ships and resettled in Sierra Leone where they were christianized and given an English education and English names. Saros were never slaves in South America.

Portuguese names like daSilva, Pedro etc came with the Aguda. English names like Cole, Coker, Johnson etc came with the Saro.

I think Aguda is specific to Cuba, not sure if Brazilian as well.

as per Saro, some of them look mixed though, were they all from the slave ships? Or maybe some were not.

true, $20b is being thrown around a lot these days, seems like a default figure.

Politics › Re: Nigerians Abroad Remitted $20b In 2014 – VP Osinbajo by tpiander: 4:08pm On Aug 26, 2015

is it the $100 people send here and there that added up to $20b?

possibly not, I guess some real bigwigs sent the bulk of that amount, probably up to 99% of it.
