God knows I'm a gentleman. I try to make my staring something girls appreciate instead of a cause for embarrassment. But it gets harder to do that these days 'cause titt.ies are the new eyes. Its the last place some girls will ever cover up; its like titt.ies are the new organ for sight. Even eyes are covered with shades sometimes. Not so the titt.ies of today. So I find myself trying to maintain eye contact just the way I was raised to always do when talking to people, until I remember their real eyes are still in their heads. Can you blame me? Old age is catching up with me.
The world is changing but I just take it as a test of my ability to focus. There is no focus in staring at every pair of titt.ies that bounces past you. That's attention deficit.

A GUY PICKS UP HIS PHONE AND DISSES NIGERIAN GIRLS AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE RESPONDING ARE MEN. WHY ARE YOU MORE ANGRY THAN THE LADIES? WERE YOU GUYS HOPING HE WOULD MARRY YOUR SISTERS? HOW MANY GIRLS CAN ONE MAN MARRY?

why don jazzy mother.

Maybe because don jazzy used to play in Muma Gee's band back in the day.

You have this on the wrong section. Take it to the politics section and see how people will tear your a.s.s to pieces. Enjoy.

I've always imagined hunting when I hear the expression 'beat around the bush' so it always made sense to me. Here is what it means :




Beat around the bush
Meaning
To prevaricate and avoid coming to the point.
Origin
The figurative meaning of the odd phrase 'beat
around the bush' or, as it is usually expressed in
the UK, 'beat about the bush', evolved from the
earlier literal meaning. In bird hunts some of the
participants roused the birds by beating the bushes
and enabling others, to use a much later phrase, to
' cut to the chase' and catch the quarry in nets. So
'beating about the bush' was the preamble to the
main event, which was the capturing of the birds. Of
course, grouse hunting and other forms of hunt still
use beaters today.
So basically they are saying go straight to capturing the animal. Enough with the preamble. Go straight to the point.

Yeye dey smell. Baba should be very careful and not let this people use his reputation to play politics and drag him into d mud.

Baba sleeps in the mud.

There is no way in the world you can have only 24000 Nigerians in South Africa. Times ten of that figure is a very conservative estimate.

I'm not derailing i just deliever God message.

God has written what he wrote now for about two thousand years. Its there for any literate person to read. The minute it is coming from an intermediary it becomes their understanding. You are giving me Gods message as YOU understand it.

Duru1:
What arrant nonsense. You are the dumbass architect of your pending political downfall, Mallam.

So sincerely his 'mallamness' is your grouse against him? It is indeed true he has many enemies.

starlingleanets:
When u see Jerusalem surrounded by "army". Army doesn't sounds like a spiritual host but Soldier with guns but unluckily dose who hv fallen out of Grace will be pointing out the sons of God. I can't explain things much suffice to say i did not say the church uniting with politics deficit the coming of the antichrist,i'm only telling the church wot will take place b4 the beast arise and D Antichrist come afterwards to enforce with all political power as a law that all must receive the mark of the beast. But will u understand this at this moment? But this u have read will come to ur mind when u see them happening. May the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ the Love of God and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with ur soul now and forevermore.Amen

All this na matter for another thread. Let's not derail the thread.

starlingleanets:
I once said here on nairaland that churches(not the Church of Christ) will unite with politics to establish firm the reign of Antichrist,sm pple thought then i'm crazy but it has been prophesied and it must but come to fulfilment. So give up on that angry pastor up there.

Is the mixing of religion and politics a new thing? If anything, it reducing not increasing. Most people are just becoming sensitive to it because now for the first time in history majority of people have access to the scriptures. If you want to use this to determine the coming of the Antichrist, I am sorry, you have missed him already because the church's hold on the state has reduced.

The @ThisIsBuhari Twitter handle of
General Muhammadu Buhari, the
presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), has
amassed over 45,000 followers in just four
days.
By contrast, President Goodluck Jonathan’s
@JGoodlucktweets, which is four years old,
has just about 40,000 more followers.
Jonathan created his Twitter account exactly
1,634 days ago, on July 6 2010, and now has
84,800 followers. The account appears to
have stopped growing, as it has been in the
region of 84,000 since he declared his run for
a second term a few weeks ago.
Buhari’s account was created on Dec 22, and
had by the afternoon of December 26, Eastern
Standard Time, amassed a following of
45,200.
It is also of interest that in the past four
years, President Jonathan has tweeted only
129 times, about two tweets per month. His
last tweet appeared on November 11, 2014.
In comparison, Buhari has tweeted 55 times
in his four days on Twitter, his last one
appearing yesterday, December 25, 2014.
Buhari’s running mate, Yemi Osinbajo, also
got into Twitter two weeks ago, on December
10, and his followers are now up to 25,000.
Vice President Namadi Sambo, who is also
running for a second term, has an even older
Twitter account than President Jonathan’s,
but although his account was created in
February 2010, he has only 3,188 followers.
When running for office in 2010, President
Jonathan was very active on Facebook and
Twitter, which he used to lure younger
voters.
After the election, when the same supporters,
some of whom said they had voted to him
but not the PDP, began to demand
accountability and productivity, they were
quietly ignored by President Jonathan.
As their agitations mounted on social media,
in August 2012 President openly denounced
them through spokesman Reuben Abati, who
in an article called them “army of sponsored
and self-appointed anarchists,” competing
among themselves to pull him down.
Jonathan included in the demographic “all
the cynics, the pestle-wielding critics, the
unrelenting, self-appointed activists, the idle
and idling, twittering, collective children of
anger, the distracted crowd of Facebook
addicts, the BBM-pinging soap opera gossips
of Nigeria.”
It is an assault the very vocal group does not
seem to have forgotten
.

So who of these candidates is the OP following on Social media?

fctboy:
Also
- He jailed Ekwueme and place Shagari in executive house arrest
- Open the border for Uba Ahmed to escape
- Spare Alhaji Alhaji of money laundering
- All his relations Were the major PTF consultants

You are an illiterate for calling him a school cert. holder. Go and read about all the courses he took and schools he went to to become a general. You, mr degree holder, might never know anything close to it; and the experience he has had leading you cannot buy. You and your mumu Nigerian degree.

imemba1:
Read your bible well,the bible didn't say that the wise men where3 they presented three gift dosnt mean de r three .check ur bible

Aren't you missing the point of the thread? After your correction please tell us what thy would have done if they were women, whether they be 3 or 33.

FKO81:
Corrected.
Election is not won on social media, you guys should stop counting your gains, the battle line is yet to be drawn, here is Africa not western nations where social media is one of the yastics in measuring candidate popularity, 85% of Nigerians don't have access to internet. Be patience, Jecob Zuma is the most criticed president in South African both home and abroad he still won the second time, it's not easy to unseat African president.

Corrected.
It is never easy to unseat any incumbent anywhere in the world.

My friend says and Google confirms it is Godwin Emefuele

Awolowo's Family have moved on from all these stories of Buhari persecution of their father. I suggest the write too should move on. Osinbajo, Buhari's running mate, is married to Awolowo's granddaughter. See? they've moved on. Stop taking panadol for someone else's headache. They have moved on. I think we all should.

limamintruth:
Thats good to know.
Here, the disparity in the local hausa dialect is somewot mainly an inter-state thing (& not intra-state). E.g the kind of hausa being spoken by the people of kano varies a bit from the one being spoken by the people of sokoto.

Most people who are not from Ondo or even Ondo state people who did not grow up there can't differentiate one dialect from the other. I think ondo state has the highest number of Yoruba dialects.
The Ijebus are found in both Ogun and Lagos state while there are still the Remo, Egba, and other groups sharing Ogun with them. But most Yorubas( not all) are able to speak a common general Yoruba lingual franca which is more Oyo in composition than any other Yoruba dialect.

limamintruth:
Interesting.

So there exist disparity in language even within the yoruba ethnic group right? Same with the hausa lang. too.

Which specific yoruba dialect do you speak @worldpeace?

My dialect is Ilaje and we are found in southern Ondo state. . There
are numerous dialects of Yoruba spoken in Ondo
state (Akoko, Akure, Apoi, Idanre, Ikale, Ilaje,
Ondo and the Owo etc)

If they were single they would have accepted marriage proposals on the way and their men would have led the mission and we still would have had three wise men.

2prexios:
Thanks, just want to be sure its not modern area code. To some on this platform, oduduwa was an allusion and not real, because they were clueless as to the name. But if Yoruba were known as that, it means that in prehistoric time some in Yoruba neighbourhood reckon with the historicity of an ancient empire builder. Yoruba favours city~state names as their identity, common name decayed a long while ago, perhaps after inception.

'Yoruba' as a common name for the people who have linguistic cultural and historical affinity is a recent development. In my own opinion based on research, it is a 19th century invention. The first group who were referred to as Yorubas were the Oyo by the Hausas. The Oyo people who inhabited an area geographically closer to them than other Yoruba groups who lived in the forest regions. Other groups identified themselves with the names by which their Yoruba neighbours knew them. There were the Ijebus, Ekiti, Egba, Ijesha and so on. This groups mostly believed in a common origin of migrating from Ife. Although there were groups who believd they originated from Benin. But the name has not always applied to all the groups that now now bear that name.

My point is that it is often outsiders that see the similarities among different groups and give them or solidify their common identity. The Anglo Saxons were given that name by a visiting Bishop who thought they behaved like angels. Ethiopeans were named such by the Greeks, Ethiopia meaning 'region of the burnt faces' because of their darker skin complexion to the greeks. The ancient kingdom of Ghana was named Ghana by the Arab writers who applied the title of the kingdom's ruler to the entire people. Everywhere, if you make your research, this is often the case. Just like the Op did not name himself.

gabazin080:
how true is dis

It is very true. I have read the bible book. Whats your point?

Yorubas call

Urhobo- Isobo
Nupe- Tapa
Ijaws - Ijon ( my particular Yoruba dialect not all)
