Politics / Re: Shettima Calls Peter Obi “Gringory" Again (Video) by Twakor: 8:28am On Feb 13, 2023 |
“Gringory” in this context doesn’t not mean start laughing. “Gringory” was the name of one of the two houseboys in the comedy series New Masquerade. Gringory and Clarus. Gringory’s (James Iroha) name was Gregory but because of local accents and pronunciations he was call “Gringory”. TL/DR Gringory = Gregory. The mispronunciation was popularised by the comedy show “New Masquerade” from the 70s and 80s on NTA. The show that featured Chief Zebrudaya (Zebrudaiah), Gringory, Clarus, Jegede Shokoya, Natti, Ovuleria and co. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67gdMpmmXn4 1 Like 1 Share |
Programming / Re: Confused Between Node Js And PHP by Twakor: 5:28pm On Jan 08, 2023 |
JAVASCRIPT all the way! Nodejs is not a language. It’s a backend “framework” (I know it’s not really a framework) which uses javascript. PHP is for people who live in the past, who have refused to wake up from their slumber. With Javascript, you will become a complete web developer, with your skills sort after all over the world, not just in Nigeria. Some of the biggest frameworks today are based in javascript: - Vuejs, React, Angular, Nodejs, etc. Learn javascript. 3 Likes |

Politics / Re: Lekki Deep Sea Port Receives 13 Brand New Cranes On Board First Cargo Ship by Twakor: 1:06pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
mineo: My friend stop displaying your ignorance. Are you trying to claim a federal govt owned project for Lagos state? Both Apapa and Lekki seaports are owned by the Federal Govt. Lagos state govt is the worst performing govt if you consider the resources available to them and the unique situation they find themselves as the commercial centre of Nigeria and longest serving capital city of Nigeria. With all the resources pumped into Lagos over the last 100 years by Nigeria, Lagos is still the 2nd worst place to live in on earth. 3 Likes 1 Share

Sports / Re: Giannis Antetokounmpo And The Milwaukee Bucks Are 2020/2021 NBA Champions by Twakor: 5:43pm On Jul 21, 2021 |
BARISTAMandela: For your information, I am not igbo. I am simply trying to shed light on their origin, because many people mistakenly think they are Yoruba because of the unfortunate incident with their Surname. Let me help you with more information. 1. Most people know the 4 brothers who play basketball, but people don't realise they are actually 5 brothers, not 4. Their first son was born in Nigeria before the parents travelled to Europe and could not take him with them. They left him in Lagos as a very young child and he never saw his parents again because of their situation in Europe, they were asylum seekers and couldn't travel back to Nigeria, they were stuck there. That boy's name is Francis Ofili (First name Francis, surname Ofili). He finally moved to Greece as an adult after his brothers had made it in the NBA, and in Greece he appended the name Antetokunpo to his name to cement the association with his brothers. Here is a music video of their brother Francis Ofili on their official youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paBWk94D6b0 2. Now just look at a list of the official names of all five brothers and their parents below below Father - Charles Mother - Veronica 1st Son - Francis (Full name Francis Ofili, this is the only brother that grew up in Nigeria using his real name) 2nd Son - Thanasis 3rd Son - Giannis Ugo 4th Son - Kostas Ndubuisi 5th Son - Alex Emeka Does the above list sound like a typical Yoruba family to you? A Yoruba family that lacks yoruba names so mysteriously, from father to all the kids. Even their father does not have a Yoruba name? Not even a middle name? Does that look normal to you? 3. There is no video, audio, or picture evidence of their father ever speaking Yoruba or dressed like a yoruba person. But there is plenty of evidence that the man is Igbo. This is a picture of Mr and Mrs Antetokounmpo posted on instagram by their first son Francis Ofili - https://www.instagram.com/p/BmAgCxDBnPH/ 4. Unfortunately, their Dad, Charles, Died in 2017, and after his death is when stories of the 5th brother surfaced for the first time. While he was alive, their background was deliberately kept obscure. 5. The reason why they still carry this name Adetokunbo around is because the consequences of lying while seeking asylum is severe, their mother would be in legal trouble in Greece/EU if it ever came out that their original identity was fake, this is the only reason why they still carry that name around and stick to the story. They are not Yorubas, they are Igbos who migrated on false identity to try and get a better life. 6. If you want to learn more about their family (Not what you think you know) Checkout their mother Veronica's instagram - https://www.instagram.com/veronica_ante3443/ or their first son Francis Ofili's instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ofili_official/ Again, I am not igbo and I am not Yoruba. I don't care about tribal anything, I just don't like misinformation 4 Likes

KingOKON: That’s because they are not really Yoruba. Their parents used someone’s passport to travel to greece and got stuck with that name. They are igbos. Think about it, no real Yoruba person will dumped his name just like that. 1. None of the kids have any Yoruba name as first name or middle name 2. Their first brother has a full igbo first name and surname 3. They have never mentioned where in yoruba land they are from. When asked, they simply say they are from Lagos. 4. Looking at their dad’s picture, it is very clear he is an igbo man People travelled using fake kpali to get a better life in europe, but their kids turned out to become superstars and they are stuck with the fake name (Adetokunbo) that the parents used to travel and seek asylum in europe |

But of course, like every other bookmaker, if you are an a winning streak with very very big stakes, certain limits will kick in |

Sambaby7640: He is talking about live betting (in-play) where the odds keep fluctuating. You have to be monitoring the game constantly to catch the odds at the right price. It is like stock trading. He is not wrong but there are a few problems you will encounter: 1. Most people don't have the patience or skill to monitor this, and any hard luck will discourage a beginner. 2. The bookies are not stupid, they have systems that monitor your playing style, and eventually you'll come unstuck. 3. The profit you are making is relatively small and not worth the energy for a lot of people. Also, you need a fairly sizable bank to begin with to ensure you can make a decent profit. 4. You can only find these opportunities in very few bookies in Nigeria such as Betfarm. These are bookies that are strong with InPlay betting. You can also find such opportunities in foreign bookies such as bet365 or 1xbet. Other Nigerian bookies like bet9ja or Betking don't provide you such opportunities, so your choices are limited. All in all, he is not talking nonsense. But it's a long thing and I doubt many people will answer him. Cheers! |
