Guy! Funnel-web spider ain't no joke.

Anyways we can defend the Qatari rights to do their own thing, but abeg no one should go and see expression of theocracy in action. Unless you are going as a worker and you already know exactly what's up.

Abike no get energy for Arab dictators. And our passport is not rated.

"Nobody knows anybody off Nairaland".

Don't believe that, man. Nobody here is anonymous. As long as you make a lot of comments on Nairaland and get in heated exchanges, you unwittingly reveal more information than you realize or intend to about yourself.

Many of you here were battle rappers on Nairaland from 12 years ago. You tagged yourselves on Facebook a lot then. Some of those Facebook accounts are dormant now. With Facebook advanced search and the right keywords, one can always connect the dots by juxtaposing the information on Nairaland. Then add Twitter advanced search.

We are only seemingly anonymous until we trigger someone to look into us. Cybersecurity is 40% an understudy of behavioural psychology and connecting the dots. One doesn't even need to trace IP addresses to do so.

I have identified many Nairalanders on Facebook and Twitter by connecting dots.

Even Sexkillz is now an influencer on Twitter yet he was active before my time on Nairaland. Nobody is anonymous.

If you want to hang Qatar for using slave labor and still practicing slavery then I am for that any other thing I am seeing it as the arrogance of some nations and culture thinking some nation and culture do not deserve to host a WORLD cup because of whatever

They are shouting that Qatar bribed when every host nation has been bribing to get hosting rights I remember how France chanced Morroco to host France 98. Even talks of the world cup interrupting their domestic season

GloriousGbola:


Well Qatar could have decided to host an event where from the beginning everyone going there would be on their toes.

A trade fair, ICT show something that brings in business people whose eyes are on the money and opportunities and who will not rock the boat.

Qatar Hosting the world Cup is for me a stodgy rich guy trying to reinvent himself as a cool guy and then still being stodgy.

I have to wonder what rules Saudi put in place for their wwe which ironically featured infidels in their underwear

A001:

Hausas and Fulanis understand how to play the game of politics better.

I always respect the way they take pride in their language and do speak it fluently in several occasions, unlike the average Yoruba that'll look down on you as uneducated and stupid for conversing in your mother tongue.

I have great respect for people that take pride in their culture and traditions. That's one reason I love the Ibos as well.

this is very ironic lol, pls speak for your family alone oh, no one takes their language serious as much as Yorubas... Maybe only the woke Yoruba liberals in Lagos but they are a small loud minority. There's a reason why Yoruba culture is the most famous in Europe, north America and south America.

A001:

Not the Yorubas mostly in Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti, Ondo. It's the ones in Oyo and Osun that take pride in the local culture mainly.

larride:
So Wike yesterday said people has been asking him where he is getting money to do all the projects he's doing.

He said Buhari was the one that paid all the backlog of the 13% derivation to all the Niger Delta State from 1999. You begin to wonder what exactly other State Governors did with their own allocations.

Months ago, Wike also said Buhari FG refunded Rivers State Govt 78bn for federal roads done by previous River State govt.

Lol ekiti and Ondo? Are you Yoruba at all?... I can agree with lag and maybe Ogun but other yoruba states take pride in Yoruba culture.

A001:

As I said before, only Yorubas in Oyo and Osun states mainly take the Yoruba culture seriously.

Those in other states such as Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti prefer mainly conversing in English than in Yoruba and prefer the ways of the West.

The transatlantic slave trade made the Yoruba culture known in countries like Brazil, Cuba, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Portugal, and the US. When slave trading was being practised in Africa before the 19th century, Western education hadn't been introduced Western education into Yorubaland.

Western education was introduced in Yorubaland in the 19th century by the British missionaries, after GB abolished slave-trading.

So, those Yorubas that took the Yoruba culture abroad during the slave-trading era weren't educated using the Western system of education.

Get your facts right.

izzou:


Do you have your facts on this?

Because i sometimes (if not more), have to tell them i am not Yoruba, so they can switch to English

A001:

You must be referring to the uneducated ones, the market women especially.

OasisX:




He's saying absolutely rubbish. In fact I'm not too sure he's being to those States he mentioned.

Go to Abeokuta, Ota, Sagamu and Co and you'll barely hear English or even Pidgin. Ekiti.....? Like seriously..... LMFAO. Both Ekiti and Ondo find joy in their dialects like Ijebus and Egbas in Ogun State.

Its only in Lagos, and not every part sef.

izzou:


The educated ones bro.

No jokes.

When i told you that i have never met a Yoruba teenager that cannot speak their language, I am dead serious.

They converse in their language comfortably. Maybe not everytime, but it is much more compared to other tribes i have met.

izzou:


An average Yoruba kid in secondary school will confidently converse with you in Yoruba if you switch.

Even the ajebo ones sef can do it.

A001:

I never said Yoruba teenagers don't speak Yoruba. But English is the primary language.

Those teenagers you said consider English as the best language in the world and a sure sign of civilization, and even the older ones too. Na wetin I dey talk be that

This is nonsense. English is not the primary language among teenagers anywhere in Yoruba land. And before you argue unnecessarily, I lived there for 17 years.

I think the issue with language is determined by where you find yourself; the kind of people in your community.

English is the most accepted, and what everybody understands. So in a community where you have Igbos, Deltans, Efiks, Hausa, etc, the ideal language you should speak is English. Anything short of this may come out offensive, or make you the odd one.

But i don't think you should translate that them not taking pride in adopting their language. It's mostly determined by where they live

Pidgin Bruh!

I initially quoted a post about El-Rufai addressing some people in Hausa. Is he a teenager?

My posts are centered on the older ones.
