naijababe: Well, the language is quite diluted nowadays, but if you listen attentively to an Ilaje person speaking unadulterated Ilaje, you would be able to hear the "gh" and "h". H does suffice in some words, but in others, it makes sense to use gh. A very good example is money and Owo (ilu ati awon enia ibe) Owó ni Ilaje Oghó (owó níná) Òwò ni Ilaje Òghò (oja Òghò, oma Òlóghò ni Yoruba gbogbogbo: Ìlú Òwò, omo Olówò) |

Shymm3x: Shymm3x, you really think I've been clowning around? If people can meet and get married via Facebook and Twitter, why can't such happen on Nairaland? I've met a Nairalander with my other moniker, you know and trust me , the relationship could have metamorphosed but she has a flat head and quite older than me. The c0itus was fantastic anyway. ![]() I really don't want to mention names so as not to irk anyone, but trust me, there are some ladies on this thread that I would have loved to ask out but it seems they're all married or something. Some of them even have monikers that just wouldn't inspire you to make a move. Shymmex, we've got to find a way to inject young ladies on this thread, you know. Young Yoruba ladies that the unmarried ones here can hook up with, in furtherance and betterment of the Yoruba Commonwealth. That's what the thread is all about. ![]() 2 Likes |

birdman: Corona is still very much in existence. it celebrated 60 years of existence recently and all the different locations of the school are still thriving (i.e. Corona School on Mekwuen Road,Ikoyi; Corona School Victoria Island on the old Waziri Ibrahim Crescent in V/I, Corona School Apapa in the GRA area, Corona School Gbagada as well as Corona Creche on the old Second Avenue in Ikoyi. The name of that street has changed though, I don't know what it is now called....). Now there is the secondary school arm which is located in Ogun State - Corona Secondary School, Agbara. Hopefully, one day in the future there would be Corona University...who knows?? ![]() The school unfortunately, has not made efforts to tap into its extensive network of alumni, who have passed through its walls. Wale Tinubu of Oando is an old student of the school. Demola Elesho the former CTO of MTN Nigeria is also an old boy. I also hear the Abubakar Bukola Saraki the current Senate President is an ex-Corona chap. ![]() |

tupacshakur: Lool. I thought you were messing around. I never did twitter and facebook. I did mess with Hi5 when it was popping as a teenager cos that was everyone else was doing and it was the easiest way to meet nice chics outside ya area. Linked some of the most beautiful chics I've ever met on there. Then when myspace became the bomb, did that for a year during my first year in Uni and left it the internet alone. The internet is crazy. I met some naija american chic that scared me off the internet. Can you believe this chic used to ring me for hours almost everyday from the US and we were both teens? In her head, we were going out and only God knows how much she rinsed on phone bills. That ish was scary and after that, I just stayed off the internet thing. That's why I never really did facebook and Twitter...and even on instagram, I just check out people's pictures - that's about it. I kind of grew into some type of overly observant guy and I pay attention to details too much these. Perhaps it's cos I don't like bring strange folks with negative energy around and cos I had anger issues when I was younger which I've been able to curtail in the last 5/6 years. In life, when you're able to move/grow from being reckless, self-destructive, and wild - to being reserved with a cool head on ya shoulder and a great listener. You just have to stay away from anyone/anything that will re-ignite the old and be safe. Let me use examples of chics I mess around with on here to paint a picture (I just hope no one will be offended lol): - There's this smart chic I used to admire from afar but I never chatted to her till one day when she said she has a crush on me. Subsequently, we became buddies and start chatting all the time. After a while, like a real nyggah ought to do, I decided to give her some space and let her breathe. I intentionally stopped quoting her. Then boom, one day she came at me and started asking me why I was ignoring her and questioning why I don't run after her every time I see her online. I was like WTF (in my head - never told her. I just laughed it off)? What type of entitlement is this on faceless forum, especially with someone I don't even know like that? And since you also see me online, how come you never bothered to chat to me? At least I would've responded if she did. That right there is a sign of an entitled and possessive chic that will make ya life miserable with emotional baggage. I still mess around with her but I'm scared of the chic. - There's a next person that called me an "Ijebu tout" unprovoked in jest on this thread. I laughed it off. However, I know "tout" in English usage isn't offensive, but it's synonymous with thug/riff raff/miscreant in naija usage. So if someone thinks that lowly of you, despite the rapport, why would you want to be around such a person, unless you want to bring negative energy around you? Even when I was a knucklehead during my teen years to age 20 and was doing little dirt on them gully roads, I was able to combine two different lifestyles and no one ever called me a thug/riff raff/miscreant. So I'd rather things like that stay on here than let it happen in real life and in real time. See when I meet folks in person - after two extensive convos, I know if they're trouble or not. And once I sense trouble, I just cut them off completely. Evidently once you start analysing how shady the internet is - you're always safer by staying away from the madness. I think you need to hit social gatherings like: Churches, weddings, symposiums, seminars, birthday parties etc. I love weddings though. I never go to a wedding without getting at least one nice chic. You need to try that. At least with that, you'd know what the chic looks like and get the chance to have a decent face to face chat in real time. P.S: can't be arsed to proof-read anything - ignore the typos. ![]() |

Ritchiee:The law is an ass Ritchiee, As it stands now, there is a lacuna-a gap not adequately provided for by the constitution- Faleke cannot fully lay stake to that mandate since the election has been declared inconclusive. The argument now is whether he's allowed to conclude the election as the gubernatorial candidate or his party APC is allowed to field another person or INEC cancels the election totally or The PDP approaches the court to claim victory... Many options, plenty confusion... |

IFELEKE: The Supreme Court has established that the candidacy belongs to the party in any election, rather than the individual that is actually contesting. That is why you will have to vacate your seat if you defect to another party now. If the party also expels you, they cannot ask you to vacate your position until expiration of your tenure, except you a legislator that can be recalled by the constituency. This protects the party from defection and the individual from victimisation. In that light, the flagbearer for APC is technically Faleke. Though it is not Faleke that is contesting, but APC. He can only name his deputy after the swearing in, which he will send to the state house of assembly for approval. |
