Surely African problem is African, the moment we stop blaming others for our problem and look forward to solving them ourselves the better for us.

Our fathers sold our brothers and sisters to the world, they weren't kidnapped.  we started our problem because of selfishness for that I don't see any reason why someone should open his or her mouth and to talk of reparation.

If I may ask, is our present problem that of the colonial master? i.e lack of electricity, good road or the corrupt men and women in power? people should stop making any statement just to be notice.

monsiuer, je n'ai aucun probleme avec vous, si vous ne me comprendez pas il faut que vous fasse un demi-tour sur autre sujet. J'ai demande une question a les gens qui ont passe une examen et les ceaux qui ont fait ca me comprend, peut-etre il y a aucune personne ici qui a passe l'examen, par consequent nous n'avons pas un repond.

I thank you all for your various responses, this reaffirmed my decision to go ahead without his consent.

As for those who believe there is more to it, you are not far from the truth just that the whole script can't be put down here as it will be too long.

Let's leave that for the nollywood when I will send the whole script to them and I'm sure it will be a super script. I know some people might wonder why I want to do that, I want to use that to tell those that are facing the same or similar problem that they can still make it God being with them.

biina:

I am a little concerned that we might not be getting the complete story.
- Is your mum still with your dad?
- where have you been living for the past 11yrs?
- why didn't you introduce the guy to your dad for the past 11yrs?
- Has your mum discussed the issue with him?
- what about your siblings?

Well, the candid answer to the questions above are:

- I didn't meet them together, there are a lot of stories attached to that
- After i left him I was just moving from one place to the other because a lot of people thought I was looking for freedom and for those that accommodated me, he threaten to get them arrested by police. Accommodation problem was so bad that a sister in the church made a statement that touched my heart deeply. she said 'this girl you be ashawo for house o'. But as God will do it, I save some money and get a one room apartment with a girlfriend, then God start changing things one after the other till I get to where I am today.

- The relationship started in 1999 then I told him in 2001 and we've been discussing it each time we meet, though we don't meet often but he has a perfect knowledge of the relationship and he knows the guy and his family very well as we are all from the same village

- According to my mum he has been discussing it with her without telling her he is not in support of the relationship

- I'm the only one

Friends your advice will be must appreciated here.  I'm in a relationship of about ten years now, we realized after a year of dating that we are for each other and he then told his parent his intention a year after our dating I told my mum that same year but my dad two years after our dating and no one complained.  Due to some circumstances the process has been delay till this year. Our relationship has been a well known one to some extent that people refer to him as my husband and vice versa.  This February I took him to my dad for official presentation and my dad said he need to do some findings before giving his consent, a month after I called him for his consent and i told him that other things been equal the wedding will be this year then he said that can not be that i should study the guy for some time before rushing into marriage.  I told him that i'm I'm rushing in fact that the relationship is overdue, he responded by saying he is not ready and still have to carry out his findings.  Few days after, he called me and said i should forget about the relationship and the guy that he can not support that kind of marriage, so i asked him for his reasons and he said I DON'T WANT YOU TO SUFFER.

Meanwhile, this same man that said "i don't want you to suffer" told me on the 17/8/1998 by 8:05 am that anything concerning my studies he will not spend he N5 and as stick to that till today, again i fell ill on August that same year he told me even at the point of my death that he will not buy paracetamol for me, before he finally kicked me out of his house sending me to the street of Lagos empty handed plus other urgly words that he told me which i find it hard to forget, with those words i felt really hated by my dad.

However, for the past eleven years that he sent me out of his house he never care how i survive and how i completed my secondary school to the university level that he is being proud of having a graduate daughter.

So the question I asked him is, is it now that my well being become a matter of concerned to you or are you bent on making me to suffer with a pretence of "I don't want you to suffer?"

N.B

He said any man I bring must pass the test before he can give his consent.  CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT,  a test that I don't know how it been conducted.

Everyone around me even my mum said I should not mind him.

Please I need your kind advice

oh la! la! ca fait beau!

my people will say

wawoyo oooooo

Bonjour a tous

@ tundysho

J'habite a Lagos

la verite est que je n'ai pas l'occasion de travers la frontiere du Nigeria, vous pourrez m'appeler fille locale, aucun probleme 

croix = cross and crois = believe from the verb croire

mes aimes

je dois aller maintenant

a demain, au revoir

bonne nuit

ou habitez vous et vous habitez d'ou est la meme chose

on peut dire 'Moi, je n'en sais rien, ou Je n'en sais rien, moi'

it is a pity that I dont know how to type with accent, your used of accent is quite wrong.  you only use cedille when O or A is at the front of C to make the sound soft like in garcon the accent will make the con sound as son.

merci with accent cedille mean mercy but without an accent it means thank you

in french we have five accents:

a.    grave `

b.     argu ´  (just like grave accent but in an opposite direction)

c.     circonflexe ^

d.     trema ¨ (superscript double dot) and

e.    cedille ¸ (just like comma attached with letter c)

The cedille ¸ (cedilla) is found only on the letter C. It changes a hard C sound (like K) into a soft C sound (like S).

pour le travail chercher les societe internationale, la plupart besoin les gens qui peut parle en deux langue et pour ingenieur ca va bien.

bonne chance

habitez vous d'ou?

merci

vous me plait beaucoup

at Alliance Francaise Lagos

@ beline
Hope u don't mind me correcting your french,i'm not perfect too just having fun that's all!
J'ai remaqué quelques erreurs que tu as fait beline. Je vais essayer de reconstruire ta phrase et de la mettre dans une belle forme.

La durée pour apprendre la langue depend de la capacité de chacun de nous (ou la capacité de la personne), pour ceux qui vont en classe (here you wrote 'tout le jour', c'est mieux d'ecrire 'toujours') toujours, ils peuvent plus vite arriver à parler dans six ou huit mois, mais les gens qui vont en classe seulement le samedi comme moi (dans ce cas on parle de toi 'beline') ils auront du mal à parler,ça peut meme atteindre deux ans pour qu'il puisse parler.
Pour parler bien le français,il faut essayer de parler à tout moment (tout le temps), ça peut t'aider! Du courage!

merci

mais si vous rapellez bien j'ai dit 'corriez moi s'il y a une faux'

mais pour tout le jour et tousjours,

tout le jour = everyday et tousjours = always

personne = nobody et chacun = each one

pour ceux qu'ils n'habitent pas dans le voisin ou tous les gens parlent en francaise et ils font seulment une classe par semaine peut-etre trois ou quartre heure pour chaque semaine et dites vous qu'il ca c'est facile?

Akparawa erenowo, awan enye emi edi ufok nnyin, oyomde nditin iko efen ka k'ufok mmo. awan enye emi edi ufok mmo emmi ekemede nditin iko ibibio, efik ye annang koro nnyin idide kiet

yak emem Akwa Abasi Ibom odu ye kpukpru nnyin

Amen

Udode:

oui, peut-être il y en a beaucoup déjà, mais ça ne veut pas dire que il ne peut pas en avoir encore une autre n'est-ce pas?

si, mais quelqu'un qui veut apprendre la langue ne besoin pas d'attend a toi, si on ne sais pas quand tu viendras

n'import comment si tu veux ouvrir une ecole ca c'est une bonne idee, allons y!

combien du temp on peut apprendre la langue depende dans chacun capacite, pour les gens qui vont en classe tout le jour ils peuvent parler couragement dans six ou huit mois, mais les gens qui vont seulment en samedi comme moi ils peuvent parler couragement en deux ans.

pour la parler essaie a penser en francais toust du temp, il peut t'aider

@ Udode

Tu vien en retard, actuellment i y a beaucoup d'ecole ici au nigeria ou les gens peuvent apprendre la langue et on a dit pas en nigeria c'est au nigeria. parce que nigeria est masculin pays pas feminine

i'm sorry for not using accent in my write up just that i dont know how to do that (je suis desolee que je ne peut pas utiliser d'accent cas je ne sais pas comment on faire ca)

Ndipe, Akwa Abasi Ibom ama onono nnyin ukeme ndinam utom esie, edi mme owo mmi ke ererimbot etiene uwem ye inyene isong efri ebangha Abasi emi okobotde enyong ye isong. Odu mbet emi osonghode kpukpru mbet, edieke nnyin idi nnimde mbet oro nte nwed Abasi etemede idiok mkpo ididuhe ke otu nnyin. Akani ye obufa iko item Abasi osongho ke mbet kiet oro "ma mbohoidung fo nte amade idem fo"

if u can bring ur empty cd or flash i'd give some learn french files yourself its very good am on the island
hit my yahoo mail 4 details
or buzz me on +234 803 396 7555

self learning is not alway the best in learning languages especially french language whose pronounciation is quite different from the way it being spelt e.g 'eau, eaux, an, en, etc have the sound of 'o' like 'cadeau' pronounce as 'cado' or 'deux' as 'do' except where the following word start with a vowel letter or h mute.

the best way will be joining a class and i will recommend Alliance Francaise, go there and learn french the french way

amusez vous bien

@ server34

a friend of mine who got married sometimes last year called me this morning that she gave birth to a set of twins and i foolishly called her shouting alleluia only to realised that she just made me "poisson d'avril"

server34:

Mais, vous parlez bien. Depuis quand?

il dit qu'il ne peut pas parler, en autre terme il est timide de parler.  moi aussi j'ai la meme probleme mais je vien de realiser que quelqu'un qui est timide de faire du faux ne peut pas faire rien. comme on dit "faire le faux on va te corriez"

s'il vous plait corriez mois s'il y a le faux

merci

a tres bientot
