Food / Re: Goruba: Have You Ever Eaten This? (picture) by blunt(m): 4:57pm On Aug 16 |
Reminds me of ST Anne's primary school Kaduna. We used the hard shell inside Yoruba for balcony soccer. Mariangeles: I saw these on a Nigerian food blogger's page, and it caught my attention. I had never seen them before. She called them goruba, so I got curious, and had to go check it out on Google.
Have you ever seen/eaten these? If you have, what do you call them in your local dialect?

It was a coded name for the treasurer in NeoBlackMovement of Africa aka .... It has been in use for decades. Davido and most of the celebrities who promoted the word are members of this group. NBM started in UniBen as a group of intelligent but rugged students that arose to fight against intimidation, oppression and suppression of the black people through Apartheid and slavery although that mission has gone south long ago when it went off campus into the street. The source of the word remains unknown since most of their slangs and gyrations were borrowed from different parts of Nigeria. NBM is not a tribal or regional confra. 1 Like |

You no well, I don propose since morning. olu77: These words will haunt her for the rest of her life because even if she use all the bleaching cream in the world, she will never become a white girl. Even if she marry a white man because she thinks white is superior, she will still always carry all these tags she has tagged all nigerian women.
Nigerian girls like her, when you play small with their brothers they become so aggressive but if you investigate this girl, you will realize that she will never hustle with any man. She is most likely going for a ready made herself, this type of girl will never marry airforce1 or alexreporter who are still waiting to blow in a big way talkless of marrying righteousness that has not even moved his ministry to the permanent site |

When Clinton apologized to Americans for his affair with Monica Lewinsky, it wasn't because he raped her but because he abused her.It can be proven beyond reasonable doubt that she gave in due to his office. I doubt if any lady working with GLO can look into Adenuga's eyes and tell him that she is not interested in a relationship. That been said, I submit that the woman in question is a beast from the pit of hell, she decided to get pregnant for her boss on purpose. Just 3-5 days of ovulation in 30 days and she couldn't take any contraceptives. My generations unborn will never meet such a beast. Mynd44: Lets pause ooo. What did this guy do wrong?
There is no evidence that the company has a policy preventing sexual relationships among staff He did not assault her He did not use his office to threaten her into sex so what exactly did he do?
I won't be shocked if the bank sacks him as he has brought their name into the mud but if he did anything ethically wrong? Nope.
If anyone did wrong, it is the cheating wife. She was the one who swore an oath to her husband and cheated (yes, I will say the same thing about side chicks and married men) |

Politics / Re: Arewa Youth Forum Says EFCC Won't Probe Tinubu Because He Is In APC by blunt(m): 1:03pm On Oct 28, 2019 |
The North just wan cannibalize Tinubu political mechanism ahead of 2023, he will surely go free but they will publicly pull him through the mud unclad, he will be free when his masters ripe him of all electoral values......The North will surely return in one form or the other....We need to stand against this vicious circle for the sake of our children and the unborn. ebukajay184: IgbereTV reports that on Sunday October 27, the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum (AYCF), reacted to the petition against former Governor of Lagos and APC Chieftain, Bola Tinubu forwarded to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by Deji Adeyanju
Deji Adeyanju who is the convener of Concerned Nigerians, on Friday October 25 submitted a petition to the EFCC, asking the EFCC to investigate the former Governor of Lagos over the source of money allegedly conveyed in bullion vans to his residence during the 2019 Presidential election.
But the President General of AYCF, Yerima Shettima who spoke on behalf of the group told Nigerians not to expect Bola Tinubu's prosecution by the EFCC.
Shettima said, "nothing will come out of the investigation because he is an APC member." It’s an allegation and all Tinubu needs is to come forward and make clarifications and I just hope that the so called institution which is the EFCC would do the necessary thing by looking into the issue." ⅞ “There is nothing wrong if there is an allegation and somebody is petitioned and there is nothing wrong in Tinubu coming out to make clarifications, there is nothing extraordinary in this matter and I see nothing coming out from this petition especially coming from the quarter it’s coming from."
“Our position on this issue is that even if you are an APC member, nothing will come out of this issue but if you are an enemy, not part of them, then certainly something will come out of it."

We have read about kids who grow up to confess that they were forced by their mum to testify against their dad, uncles, neighbor etc just to get at the person. Do we know how man people that were sentence to life imprisonment in the US wrongly before DNA came to be. I hope he ruts in jail if found guilty but its better for ten guilty men to escape justice temporarily than for one innocent man to suffer wrongly. 3 Likes |

Over 400years of slavery (100% free labour, sex, entertainment etc ) Our ancestors paid with their blood.....get the Bleep back to your country lady...........I have this smart home(Fully automated +swimming pool) for a desperate sale in a well secured estate behind Orchid hotel Lekki Lagos.... contact me 08037890776 Lizzysamuel: Ammn internet fraudster aka Yahoo-boy got the shock of his life after a white woman he duped came all the way from her country to have him arrested.

A white lady has done the unthinkable by causing the arrest of a male internet fraudster known locally as a ‘sakawa’ boy in Ghana, AdomNews has reported.
The white lady had been defrauded for so many years by the Ghanaian whose name has been identified as Solomon Attah.
According to a video report the ‘sakawa’ boy (internet fraudster/Yahoo-boys) reportedly extorted over 20,000 euros (GHC 113,000) from the white lady in question years back.
After extorting so much from the lady he cut ties with her. So the lady with another white guy who appeared to be her new boyfriend/husband did all they could to track Solomon and his boys down.
From the video, one can see that they contacted the Criminal Investigations Department down here in Ghana.
So after getting to know where Solomon and his crew lived to carry-out their dubious scams, they paid them a surprise visit at home.
Solomon and his crew attempted to bolt after realising that their cup was full but the police personnel were quick enough to capture them. They were handcuffed and paraded to the police station.
The white guy demanded that Attah paid part or the full amount of money he extorted.
Solomon said he’s ready to do that. There was a car parked in the compound which he could be heard saying that he’ll sell for 10,000 Euros—that’ll cover half of the amount.
