One thing that surprised me though about the Latinos is their obsession with US. I still can't put my finger on that yet. Almost like a post colonial attraction except the fact that they were not colonized by the US |

naijamanyoutube:Bro no be small. Happened to me on my last account. Seems nairaland can tolerate hatred and calls for ethnic genocide but can't tolerate another language being spoken ![]() Used busuu, then films helped a lot. I didn't practice with anyone though cause I think Nigerians aren't really that interested in learning a second language for fun . They prefer it for the motives of japa. Learning Spanish introduced me a lot to a world I never knew of. Colombia looks very beautiful and I'd say the same thing about Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Costa Rica. 1 Like |

Then came the clash of cultures that had spent centuries literally ignorant about one another's existence. Still, anyone who is familiar with the history of Lagos knows that there is really nothing new about what is happening today. The battle over Lagos is as old as Lagos itself. At various times, the struggle was between the indigenous people and slave returnees, or between Lagos indigenes and Yorubas from other cities. It was in the 1920s and 1930s when Igbos started settling in Lagos and growing in numbers that the battle graduated from intra-ethnic to inter-ethnic contestations. In fact, in the late 1940s, a sustained media exchange between Yoruba and Igbo intellectuals almost ended in a bloodbath, with the protagonists and antagonists stockpiling machetes to take things further. |

Much of the history of Lagos is that of its economy, in the context of political, social and cultural change. Economic transformation is thus one of the most important forces to have had an impact on the city, its society, its landscape as well as its “look”, which forms an essential par of the quest for the city's soul. The expansion of the city's political economy has led to growing wealth, which in turn has brought a range of new aspirations for modernity that has followed in the wake of colonization. |

Now back to Lagos, the colony of Nigeria with the capital being Lagos brought a lot of people from the other parts of the country to Lagos for economic opportunities and for an higher standard of living. Lagos became a population of 2 million by the 1920s After Lagos was made the capital in 1914, a classification of Nigerian cities was proposed in 1921. Lagos was the only city belonging to the ‘Class A township’, which combined a residential area reserved for Europeans (Ikoyi) and a commercial area in which Europeans lived, worked, traded and interacted with Africans Lagos Island

The Hausas due to their nature of being traders and farmers has a long history of contact with the yorubas. They were the ones that brought Islam to the south west region, and also introduced the Arabic script of writing Yoruba language which was the first alphabet of the Yoruba language

Now what's interesting to note is that due to the south west (home to majority Yoruba ethic group) wasn't that isolated isolated before colonization. There were lots of recorded contacts with the Benis, Nupes, and most importantly the Hausas |

The colony of Southern Nigeria which then gave rise to the colony of Nigeria with the capital as Lagos due to it being geographically a port city and closer to the other colonies brought together the two ethnicities that had spent centuries with the complete ignorance of the others existence |

About 500km away lived an ethnic group that was isolated geographically from the west of the country by the Onitsha river, They lived with the first ever recorded democracy in West Africa. They were also brutally forced to become a colony of Southern Nigeria |

It's 1851, Lagos has just been bombarded by the British and annexed to a colony on 5th of march 1862 and it's history changed forever. Until then Lagos was inhabited by the awori tribes from the Yoruba ethnicity They've lived a pretty quiet life up till then that consisted mainly of fishing and cultural activities

So I took it yesterday, the guy I took it with said I'd soon be sweating but I didn't. Even wore a coat cause it rained a lot yesterday. I also took weed like az and loud and that's what probably got me high but I just felt generally tired(most likely the weed)and a bit more dreamy. Fast forward to night I've been thinking I wouldn't be able to sleep but I slept well, even dreamt So now I'm wondering is there something that was supposed to happen or it's my body or the meth that's bad(which I highly doubt cause the people who took it with me were sweating). It's kinda underwhelming 1 Like |
