CabbieAC:


Lmao at the emboldened you no well

Speaking of the last part,well... it depends on what you came here for and your intentions.Most times, you can identify a fool by just going through his comments

It's simple and there's nothing to worry about.The rapbattle/family/romance and all those silly sections are where those things are rampant because there are too many !dd!iots there. .Na only few people get sense for that side

IlekeHD:


Honestly, I came here thinking we can do something to change Yorubaland for the better. Is that so much to ask? Is it?

Ti awon eyan n ba n se ole kakiri, bawo la se le trust awon to wa nile pelu iyanju [effort] wa?

O su mi serious. Nigba ti mo ka tiredi yen, se ni mo fe be sukun. So pathetic.

IlekeHD:

CabbieAC:
Madam translator can you please tell us what Akata means?

CabbieAC:


[b]Hahaha I'm not familiar with that name.Baba Agba leyin

You're definitely older than me so we have different stories

The guy who was the ch!t during my time was Kablam In the whole of Surulere,there was no one.He was the Messi of Surulere back then

I heard he's in Ukraine but I don't know how true that is since I don't know his surname

The guy who was reigning some 3 years back was Babulo.That's someone who could juggle the ball with his head for 30 minutes non stop

The Ansar-Ud-deen you're talking about is the one opposite randle hospital bah? White/White. I played football there as well

Then Saint joseph secondary school at Owodele.Its not far from luth,Idi-araba

I played inside Luth itself with medical students, then opposite it is vegetable garden.I don dey near Mushin be that oo

I played at one school in Bank-Olemoh as well.I can't remember the name now but the school is not far from National stadium

Stadium itself nko.

Funny enough,I never played snooker.E too dey cause fight

IlekeHD:


You sir, will not get me in trouble tonight.

IlekeHD:



Chai you can lie!!




Me sef support her then. Not knowing.




I said it's better not to trust anyone with money on NL. Remember how we discussed sending money to Nigeria to develop our land? With the ongoing lunacy on NL, it's best to stay away from such. It's better to keep our discussion online until we can ensure that all of us are reputable/trustable.

quimicababes:


So cabbieac lied .What does it mean?...with regards to ur point...never said to send money just so...saying it wouldn't hurt to get to know folks offline to link up on common goals besides just staying online.That takes time o.I have met fellow trinis and caribbean folks online that transitioned to real life and they were and are decent folks...still friends with them.I know naija is a different case but as I said...all naija ppl cannot be bad.Just exercise caution ...never said pass money just so lol.

CabbieAC:


I actually get what you mean the cotton picking nonsense bah? mmtchew

Akata means panther.Those who say its cat hat left home and blahblah should tell us where they got their translations from

MayorofLagos:




Old?? Lmao...you make me laff sef. You no fit remember Mainland Primary School field for Bank Olemoh and you say you young pass me. How?

You know Olajuwon family house was right there on Bank Olemoh.

I dont know those guys. I think you got the names mixrd up. I believe you meant Dapo. Dapo was the father of neighbourhood soccer in Surulere and when the toss come up the winning captian always snatch him up before anyone else. He went somewhere in East Europe. His parents lived off Adeniran Ogunsaya. When i started playing snooker I hung my soccer shoes up. I played two field games with very closely resembled play structure. Often times i left one to the other. ...and i didnt find personal reward in it so i went where the money and hussle was.

The farthest i played was Lawanson, I didnt venture into Idi Araba.

Lmaaooo I think I've heard of the Dapo character but I still believe we're talking about different characters

Eleko Agba awo leyin.e je ki a ma tan ra wa

Speaking of Lawanson,I used to play in that huge field close to Jubril martins, can't remember the name now

Back then me and my crew, we would trek from Akerele side to that field. ti a ba n pada bo, ese wa ma ti dudu

I remember my mother coming there to look for me once She sent me on errand and after waiting for me for a long time, she started looking for me in every field I always played Egba ni mumsy fi le mi kuro

I played in Obele as well.I spent part of my childhood there

Then I played in that field inside New era and Ideal girls as well

IlekeHD:


Ohhh I didn't know this. My parents always used "akata" for black americans and "oyinbo" for white people.

CabbieAC:



Akata literally is not suppose to be an offensive word.The victims are the ones who gave it a negative meaning through their reactions.At the end of the day, it all boils down to ignorance.The people who used the word against them probably thought it means cat that left home and the other bullch!t and they too accepted it

In fact part of Sango's oriki is Akata

Sango Olukoso Akata yeri yeri Arabambi Oko Oya

IlekeHD:


He's not lying. My egbon is just playing with you.

I get your point and I support.

Akata means "blacks outside of Africa".

Are you half-Yoruba? I am happy that you're interest in Yorubaland, but I'd like to know where that interest originated.

IlekeHD:


Wow really?

I love this thread!

Which part of Sango's oriki is akata? I'd like to read about it.

quimicababes:


Hmmmm...but why the panther reference?....plenty blacks outside Africa aren't necessarily dark .Besides isn't akata used in a derogatory way? I am full trini no mind two of my grandparents are from St.Vincent lol . I am interested in Naija to see what becomes of her seeing as she is the largest black nation...I know quite a few folks are hopeless about her...but you never know what she may make of herself.Regarding Yoruba...exposure is through knowing a few isese folks here.I just have general interest in African cultures...Yoruba own is just more accessible here in Trinidad.

CabbieAC:
Iya Agba at the same time,I don't want to claim authority on this Sango topic before 9jacrip go come flog my yanch say I dey talk rubbish

Hopefully he agrees with me

IlekeHD:
Sango's Oriki
Sango Olukoso Akata yeri yeri Arabambi Oko Oya Alaafin, ekun bu, a sa Eleyinju ogunna Olukoso lalu Ina l'oju Ina l'enu A ri igba ota, sete O fi alapa segun ota re

I see. CabbieAC, you sure it's the same intonation??

Funjosh:
