What the heck is that about?

Or is it a cultural thing?

Any reason for the question?

I havent watched the whole movie.

It doesn't concern me.

Hm

You're selling it?

So what concerns you with if women can date a guy who is against it or not?

Is that how to sell something?

What's funny?

This stuff gets stale.

Amazing how you folks giggle at things like this every time.

Hmph.

Which way nigeria, smh.

God will help us .

We will not be wailers in Jesus name.

Mind you, it doesn't mean the tactic you mentioned ( cutting food supply) wasn't used at all back then, it depends on region sometimes.

@ physicsQED

great stuff you've been posting.

Looking at some of these pictures especially of the cityscapes, a question comes to mind.
How did it relate to their agrarian nature (for those that were into agriculture)?

Let me explain..for example,
I always imagined that in the ancient Benin kingdom, households were not clustered together.
each household would be surrounded by its farm, and the only place of building cluster would probably be the village square or market

so i am thinking,
did these guys who lived in clustered cities as shown in your pictures
have farmlands that were apportioned to them which were probably outside the city walls?
If this was the case, would it not have been realy easy for the enemy to cut off their food supply in times of war?

Please, what are your thoughts?

the enemy would not cut food supplies (if they were slavers they would not have time to wait for surrender). Rather, they engaged in open warfare if they were able to enter the town's perimeter undefeated and then took slaves afterwards.

Most towns, in an attempt to prevent this kind of thing from happening, usually had lookouts to sound the alarm if an enemy was sighted. And a standing army as well (most males were trained to fight as well as farm). If an alarm was heard, the males returned to defend the town and face the enemy in battle.

As to whether this method was effective, not really sure since most of the populace still got enslaved or killed anyway. Huge toll.

All this is as far as I know.

I think Emir Sanusi also started his tenure as central bank governor by tracing general funding.

big bang refers to the hypothetical creation of the universe, not separation of the continents.

so those of you who don't have African features, spend lots of time thanking God for that?

weird sha, but I guess it makes sense to you, since in your world, black is equated with poverty and every bad thing.

hm, lord have mercy.


tough times.

AllNaijaBlogger:


So you're saying that Jesus didn't really walk on water, he just stood on a submerged crystal clear time travel device?

Hello, you asked a question and I gave you an answer, is that an issue for you?

Who is trying to rent, because I know you folks don't open threads like this for no reason.

Gay thread.

Captainswag225:
and its said that women take decisions in the family? Are u sure abt dis?

So, I think what you're saying is in (some) matrilineal societies, the woman is not the decision maker but the family structure is only considered matrilineal because the woman's children solely inherit from her side of the family, not the man's.

Is that right? ie did I understand you correctly?

Na today?

They've been in angola since the fifteenth century.

Aren't sellers supposed to use those glass display cases for the snacks?

I actually don't know.

You may have to email them for the specifics.

It seems the US ambassador had a question and answer session last month, on facebook, he probably would have been able to answer this question there, don't know if the Q/A session was a one time thing or if it will be open again another time.

Here's a thread about it:

On no account should a person stand between couples on their wedding day

Really?

I meant Ikoyi registry is usually the venue of choice for foreigners coming to Nigeria to get married.

Ease of access, less travelling, etc.
