What are the names your "start-up businesses

You don't just shout "ideas, entrepreneurs, invest" without been the owner of a company...

If you wanna know, I've got a business. You don't need to know the name before you believe.

Kaiii... No job is secured sha

Ideas rule the world.

Entrepreneurs build those ideas...

lalasticlala, I don't see where the President mentioned that he has been deserted here...

These were his words according to your post:

"I expected a very low turn-out because in most cases, when a government is going, people reduce. You will notice that even the Aso Villa Chapel, the number of people that will be coming become less and less. But when I came in, I noticed that this whole hall is filled up. So, I’ve to sincerely thank all of you. We’re all here because we believe in the power of prayers in nation building. The essence of the presidential prayer breakfast is to call on all Nigerians to come together and pray"

(If they had deserted him like you said he mentioned, he would'nt have used the word "But" neither would he have said, the place was filled up. He expected a low turn out, but the reverse was the case here, that's exactly what he was tryna point out)

That been said, I'm not disputing the fact that GEJ has been deserted by his supposed faithfuls. But at the same, lets try to convey our information the way it is stated and the way it ought to be, not twisted.

Merci!!!

JELILI!!!


Not rude if it's reflex

But you did yours intentionally, so it's rude

Copy Mouse!!!!!!!!

Be unique and diversify....

Happy Trekking Btw...

Hahaha ... Eleko, na you dey talk like this. You sef know sey that kind thing no good.

The blessings of the Lord maketh rich and added no sorrow.

That kind awoof no be blessing. Who knows whether if one doesn't fake his or her age, he or she might even have something great to do, before that one year runs out. I believe at the age of 30, that kind person suppose don get business plans wey go work wella, even if im no get job...

Remember sey Entrepreneurs rules the world.

But then again, let him who is without sin cast the first stone. That's why I'm not gonna judge.

This Is a joke, and I see no reason why it should be under this section.

Mods!!!

Btw, Op,since you said you got all your clothes outside, and the only towel you had as a cover was also taken, can I conclude that you opened the door for Chidimma while you were *coughs*

Inconclusive joke I must say

Next time make it look a bit real

As they drive? Under canopy?

Wonder what the mum would look like, if the grand mum looks like this...

Baby face's family

PerfectlyPerfect:
totally wrong @bolded.
they rigged the area with land mines. its not an issue of politics or weaponry

I read that part. I know they said the area is rigged with land mines.


But at the same we cant out rule those two... So I can't be totally wrong.

I'm stil saying it, asides, the challenge with the area, less/inadequate weapons, and politics are also major factors.

yinkard4me:

Lmaooo...

Yinkard, na you dey do me like this..

You edit my post

Hiya!!!

I've been mentioned on several Igbo thread.

Just for clarification, I'm not Igbo.

But I'm willing to learn tho

Nice thread Btw...

musing2:
From what I can see Nairaland already has sections which provide spaces for community, such as the Muslim section, which they use to effect projects that actually touch lives. Looking outside Nairaland, other online forums such as Reddit embrace the idea of forming online communities. Going by these two things, that such an online community already exists on Nairaland, and that online communities are very functional and positive concepts, I hope we can form an Igbo or Igbo Language section on Nairaland.

Igbo Kwenu ! Kwenu Kwezo Nu !

I have mentioned all of you so that we can discuss as a community to see if we agree that having an Igbo Language section is desirable, and if so, decide on the steps we can take to actualize it. It's worth noting that I painstakingly got your monikers from threads already organized as communities, namely:

Order of the thread
-We need volunteers who will argue in favor and those who will argue against an Igbo Language section
-After this introductory post a poll will be set up, which can be used to judge those who are for and those who are against an Igbo language section.
-Another post immediately after that will be left vacant where our decisions and steps to take will be listed, if we agree to move forward with advocating for an Igbo Language section. Also it will be used to indicate when those arguing in favor or against an Igbo language section will be making their submissions.
-If you feel this is a bad idea please kindly state so if you want to, or otherwise hold your peace. I advice that trollers should simply be ignored.
-If you feel this is a good Idea and want to put down steps on how to actualize it, or ideas for how an Igbo language section would be run, please title your suggestion in emboldened letters.
-Finally I am calling on volunteers who will submit arguments in favor of an Igbo Language section, and also on volunteers who will submit arguments opposing the idea.

Till we get volunteers, which hopefully we will have, I advise us all to visit this link: http://www.iiste.org/Journals/index.php/DCS/article/view/2934 , download the article by Ani Kelechi Johnmary and have a read.

I also leave us with an excerpt:

[b]"Igbo people are increasingly engaging in the progressive race towards cultural marginalization and geometric linguistic endangerment. This study is centred on cultural marginalization theory of language. “This frequently happens when indigenous populations, in order to achieve a higher social status, adopt the cultural and linguistic traits of a people who have come to dominate them through colonisation, conquest, or invasion. This is the most common cause of language endangerment” (Austin and Sallabank, 2011). When the people gradually neglect and refuse to promote official and unofficial communication dynamics in their language, consciously or unconsciously, they are culturally marginalizing their language. This is the situation found across the length and breath of the Igbo nation. Unfortunately, some Igbo people have paid with their breath for neglecting their language. Anyaegbuna (2012:30) showed that “following the wanton repetitive killings of Ndigbo in Northern Nigeria, some aggrieved Igbo youths made reprisal attacks on Northerners at Nkpor junction and some other areas. They mounted roadblocks and screened vehicles for Northerners. The basis of screening was the ability to understand and speak Igbo. It was a disaster that a few Igbo youths were killed needlessly, because they either did not understand or could not speak Igbo fluently; they were mistaken for Northerners seeking camouflage”. What a bad scenario that calls for Igbo revival. The Igbo language revival scholars must therefore arise in the “race against time” (Krauss, 2007) towards the revival of our language. Revising of Igbo “language and culture shift” (Fishman, 1991) needs patriotic attention and urgency. This could be attained through the cultural revival of the Igbo ethno linguistic vitality (Ehala, 2009), if all and sundry within the Igbo nation and beyond can gradually and progressively reduce their high level of social violence against the language."[/b]

Finally, i'd like to give an example of a language, Cornish, which has been revived and has gone from labeled as extinct to being officially recognized as a minority language in the UK. So it's possible to revive a language and to bring it to prominence. I believe that as a people we can bring Igbo language to prominence, and I believe it starts with little things like an Igbo language section. This is important to me because I can't speak enough Igbo to sustain a one minute discussion because of the reasons mentioned in Ani Kelechi's article and I consider this a shame. I plan to learn in the East by serving in the NYSC there but before then a thriving Igbo community online seems like a good place to start.

Nice thread.

But I ain't Igbo tho.

I'm omo yoruba.

Willing to learn Igbo...

Proudly Naija
