greatgod2012: In my own opinion, i think not allowing your children speak your indigeneus language is like telling them, indirectly, that, you are not proud of your tribe and its language, atleast, if you are proud of a thing, you will want people to identify you with that thing, and i notice that its mostly common with we yorubas, you can hardly find an igbo or hausa kids, who will not be proud to speak their indigenous languages, even, in public places, but, we yorubas,......hhhhmmmmm, may God help us.

Well, in my own house, we (hubby and i) ensure that our children understand our language very well, infact, its a rule that........
1. You must know the yoruba meaning of whatever you are talking about, so anytime they see a new thing, which they know its english name, i tell them the yoruba meaning and ask them to address the thing in yoruba for a whole week, except in school.
2. Once i speak to you in yoruba, you must respond in yoruba, and it has helped them a great deal to speak the language fluently.


The mistake our people makes is that, once a child speaks totally in English, it makes the child a brilliant child, which is not true sometimes, or even most times, i remember one of my secondary school mates, who could speak english like mad, but repeated S.S1 three time, and the fourth time, she was advised to withdraw, because it was a laid down rule in my school then, that, once a student repeat a class three times, and she also repeat the fourth time, she would be advised to withdraw, but, you need to know this girl, then, even, oyinbo man could not speak english fluently as she used to, but, gbogbo e.....odo ni.
@all, lets all embrace our indigenous languages, and also encourage our kids to embrace it. teni n teni, takisa ni t'aatan.
May God help us.

Kyekubbe Joo: 1. Thanks for the add.Honestly, a friend request isn’t a kiss or one night stand to thank a dude/lady for. It’s like thanking someone for hugging you. Avoid at all costs to thank them on their wall for appreciating your fiend request unless you are an A……..

2. FILLING A MAN’S/LADY’S INBOX.Send messages when you have something important to say. Filling someone’s inbox with silly messages like, ‘is it raining?’ ‘Is that your ass?’.. ‘who wss your first boyfriend/girlfriend?’ Those are TEENAGERS QUESTIONS that shouldn’t be asked anyone past secondary school level.

3. BRAGGING ON YOUR STATUS UPDATES.Facebook is a social network, not Forbes List. Avoid updates such as..Am driving my range rover . .I cant wait for iPhone 6 . .where do i buy a galaxy note II case .. i need to see a dentist at Karen Hospital . .where is D.T Dobie . .My Mercedes is stalling.

4. USING SWEARING WORDS ON YOUR UPDATES AND COMMENTS.Unless you are a love-vendor, be polite.Using phrases like.. YOU SLUT! FUCKYOU! ASSHOLE! DICKHEAD while referring to people, just shows you are THE ONE known by those names.

5. FAKE PHOTOS.Upload real photos showing yourself. Downloading then uploading men/ladies’ photos that you haven’t met and adding a caption ..MY NEWBABE..MY WIFE/­HUBBY….isn’t cool!Taking photos standing besides big hotels, people’s cars or in your friends houses shows you are STUPID.JUST UPLOAD A PHOTO OF YOURSELF IN A BEDSITTER OR YOUR HOUSE.

6. ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS.Be honest where you have reached and studied if you so CHOOSE to include them on your profile. How can you study in HARVARD when your classmates know you got a D-? You are A GYNECOLOGIST when you studied CARPENTRY? LOL.

7. HATE SPEECH, SLURS.Referring to particular tribes as THIEVES, WATCHMEN, STONE THROWERS is impolite. Take people as you know them but not as you imagine they are. There are good and bad people in every tribe. Satan was an Angel who became the DEVIL.RAHAB was a PROSTITUTE that GOD spared.

8.FALSE EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION: Oh, this is really nagging, You find someone who is unemployed in real life and they are CEOs on Facebook, or someone of a low class job and outs a high class one. What is the point with lying about your job? Ok, Just imagine that you’re a bartender and you put your job as web designer, what will you do if you get a deal worthy millions and it needs you yourself to do it…..then you’re busted.

9. CREATING FAKE ACCOUNTS FOR FAKE RELATIONSHIPS. This has been the commonly done stupid thing, Facebook users register fake accounts with fake names, contact information, and fake siblings.It’s hard to find someone with more than one account for another purpose less than looking for love. This is the biggest mistake: You fake guys with fake accounts tend to vibe fake girls with fake accounts too and you might vibe the same girl more than two times! The problem comes when you arrange your appointments and to your surprise that someone is appearing more than once!Both of you are not less than FOOLS.

9. ADDING TOO MANY FRIENDS YOU DON’T CHAT WITH: What would be the importance of building up a social network you don’t intend to use? I mean, what’s the whole point of adding over 4000 friends for whom you won’t even spare a single minute to say “Hi”?

10.USING THE VIDEO CHAT TO DO NUDE STUFF: When it comes to this, the people involved are those trying to look for online love and sex satisfaction. You guys start stripping off to please you partners but you might not know what they think of you in real life- so take care
