Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 1:13pm On Apr 28, 2016 |
The word maintenance as a verb/ noun does not originally exist in any African tribe / dialect. Someone gave me that revelation. If it exists in your dialect, it's probably very recent, and a converted foreign word. |

Muafrika2:It seems the adjective iberibe is not very far from you. |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 9:59am On Apr 30, 2016 |
imhotep:I suspect that what you just wrote is not relevant to this post |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 10:04am On Apr 30, 2016 |
Muafrika2:Oh it is very relevant, for out of the abundance of the heart the hands post |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 10:13am On Apr 30, 2016 |
imhotep: Okay, You may need to speak in English ( iberibe ) so that I can fight back knowing what I am fighting. Not all of us here speak your native language. |

Muafrika2:Fine. You come across as another white-supremacist coming to troll on Nairaland. |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 10:29am On Apr 30, 2016 |
imhotep: Oooooooh. So you must believe that "maintenance" is a virtue. Hence supreme to the African thought. You are the supremacist. Not I. |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 10:34am On Apr 30, 2016 |
Muafrika2:LMAO You and your family members need to inter-marry with Africans so as to diminish these your prejudices. |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 10:37am On Apr 30, 2016 |
imhotep:Am proudly African. Unlike some here, |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 10:38am On Apr 30, 2016 |
Muafrika2:ermm...I seriously doubt you. |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 10:48am On Apr 30, 2016 |
imhotep: Put up your dialect's equivalent for the word maintenance and prove me wrong! |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 10:51am On Apr 30, 2016 |
Muafrika2:I think you should go back to school and complete your education. Don't recycle the narrow-mindedness of your forebears.

Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 10:59am On Apr 30, 2016 |
I laugh You don't have one word equivalent, do you. Nice effort ; at the diversion tactics imhotep Spend time and study your people. Know about the African value system and thought. Not foreign philosophy, |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 11:00am On Apr 30, 2016 |
Muafrika2:LMAO If I post my native language now, you will start complaining. Anyway, your tactics remind me of a proverb: "Onu oma kpuru okpurukpu, o di ka okpu osukwu" |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 11:07am On Apr 30, 2016 |
Muafrika2:By the way there might be up to 3,000 native languages in Africa. I am sure you know the names of less than 10 of these languages. |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 11:29am On Apr 30, 2016 |
imhotep:Am happy to inspire you to speak in your native language, You also remind me of this African proverb: "Modernity is not the sole 'invention' of Westernization, but more over, 'modernity' is the accumulated Conquest of the Western world " - 'Alik Shahadah imhotep:I can name ten times more African languages than you can The floor is yours, after you They are all "maintenence" free I tell you, |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 11:34am On Apr 30, 2016 |
Muafrika2:Ok nice. We can engage in a conversation using only proverbs: "Nwa mkpi lega agba nne ya, hu n'ala aruola" Muafrika2:LMAO. . .ermmm It may be better for you to go back and "maintain" Europe. Europe is fast becoming the land of the Africans Example ==>

imhotep: Bateke proverb; The wise create proverbs for fools to learn, not to repeat. ~ |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 12:56pm On Apr 30, 2016 |
Muafrika2:This one will apply to the Africanization of Europe. ==> "Agbalu aka n'azo ani, onye ji ji ga n'akonye ji n'ani" |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 1:03pm On Apr 30, 2016 |
imhotep: Good to know, To get lost is to learn the way - swahili |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 1:06pm On Apr 30, 2016 |
Muafrika2:^^ These proverbs usually sound better in the original languages. " Ihe ehi hụrụ gbalaba oso ka okụkụ huru na-atụ onụ" |
Re: Maintenance Is Not African by Nobody: 2:31pm On Apr 30, 2016 |
imhotep: The translation is for communication. Which you are doing poorly. Are you Igbo? I can see the three part syllable words of the Niger Congo language groups. |
