TV01: Opines the self-same person that expresses a simple point that could have been passed across tersely in a few words in more than 3,500 words.
My usage of Smiley is not strategic. It's used only when necessary or to punctuate my statements. Do you feel threatened?
Mr. Persksniffian, who started the snide invectives on this thread? Why single me out?
Go check the meaning of 'self-congratulatory'. You obviously do not know the meaning.
Once again, are my Smileys threatening your e-existence? Damn! Stop bitching.
I have better things to worry my head about than petty Nairaland squabbles. . . .or as you put it: 'NL hall of fame'. You can keep that for yourself. I don't need it.
She was called Aya and also the name of her father was included whenever her name was called in public. She also never took up her husband's name. You are not from the West and probably only have a cosmetic knowledge of the customs and traditions of the Yorubas. Stop claiming what you don't know.
My point is she was never called Mrs. Adewale or took up her husband's name. Being addressed as Aya Adewale(wife of Adewale) is different from being called Mrs.Adewale: the former indicates that she retained her name(father's name) and the latter that she took up her husband's surname(which never happened in Old Oyo empire and many other areas in the western parts of Nigeria) If you had calmed down you would have understood me first-hand
Didn't you see the part where I asked the OP by what he meant by that and he replied by saying I know the answer to my question but could keep on 'pretending' that I don't? My point is how can OP claim that women opting not to go by the names of their hubbys are only dyed-in-the-wool feminists that are affecting the ways of the west, especially when the so-called Mr & Mrs practice was brought to us by the white missionaries.(I used old Oyo empire to shore up this FACT) Once again you should have taken the time to read the discourse on the thread before making a comment. The time you use in writing 'TV' pointlessly at the end of your every post can be used to that purpose. Now here is a Smiley for you. 6 Likes |

TV01:But you can be locked up because you are a menace to the free society you live in, you do NOT deserve to enjoy the civil rights you neither contributed to not appreciate. You are NOT British born so you citizenship can always be revoked ( that is if you are one) and that will be a just outcome. Or better still, do the honourable thing and remove yourself to whence you came from since you hate the ways of the west so much. Nigerians be running stuff down with their mouth, yet refuse to give it up. Said it once, I'm saying it again, put your money where your mouth is and show your minions that you are uncompromising in your fanaticism. But not going to happen is it, hate preachers be running down the country but at the same time collecting state benefits. 2 Likes |

darkenedrebel:Dude, quit confusing and patting yourself in the back for the confusion-inspired mumbo jumbo you call knowledge. Aya Adewale and Mrs. Adewale are different because one is Aya and the other is Mrs. You say the missionaries introduced the Mrs which women now use, but this isn't news to any sensible person - Missus is an English word transcribed to mean wife of/somebody's wife. So what makes it different from Aya? When a married woman in the old Oyo empire wants to write down her name on a piece of paper, or on sand, or on whatever else was around then to signify identity, how would she write it? 4 Likes |

3. Why do this category of women (Mrs My Father's Name) love to eat their cake and have it? Huh? I'm not privy to feminists women struggling for a Mrs. tag. I'm much privy to them rejecting that tag. These women go by the title Ms. which is a neutral alternative to Miss or Mrs. This accords them ambiguity to marital status. It's like the Mr. title of men where there's no distinction given to married or single men. You can't tell if a man is married or not, neither can you tell if a woman is married with a Ms. title. 5 Likes |

TV01:1) not being British born doesn't mean you cannot be British. Stop letting your insecurities cloud your understanding. 2) any one who is in an interracial relationship exercises their choice, what's my business who anyone decides to get with? You should learn to keep your nose out of things that ain't your business. 3) Biological shmiologimental, you really should unclench your butt, life is much more beautiful when you allow some love and give love to everyone you come into contact with. I love all children, biological or not and hate to see anyone in pain. But...again, your stance limits the spreading of your hate to those within your immediate sphere, I cannot complain, there is some small comfort to be derived from that. 4) I don't need to go to a police station, I can do it online and point them here to your handle. 5) I have posted my baby's picture before when I felt like sharing and I won't do it now because I have nothing to prove. He is better looking and a better man than you would ever be, I know this and that is all that counts. 4 Likes |

Mindfulness: Haven't you heard? The world is waking up to islamic terrorism. The PC regime is coming to an end. Even the Guardian, a super left wing paper is beginning to question its stand on extremism. The perpetrator of the Nice attacks last week wasn't even an ISIS-licensed operative but a fan, same with the butcher in the German train days ago who had a hand-painted flag of ISIS in his room. And where did he live? In the home of a German family who graciously accommodated him after "fleeing" civil war in Syria. You left-wing nuts still don't have a clue. The Arabs aren't in Europe to integrate, they are there to take over. They don't give two hoots about your progressivism, you're the filthiest thing on the earth. I wonder when Merkel is going to resign for endangering the lives of millions of Germans by imporring barbarians. Long live the European Caliphate of Allemaigne, abi how una dey spell am. 4 Likes |

crackhaus: I thought we had an unspoken gentleman agreement that we would refrain from quoting each other on this thread? Stop asking me not to quote you and yet still quote me any time you cannot put a rudder on your sporadic cacoethes. Make up your mind and stop flip-flopping. FYI, the only person confusing himself on this thread is you. Your depleted comprehension ability is further proof that education does not in itself make a person intelligent. Are you so dumb that you cannot understand the simple thing that I have been trying to say on this thread? Are you still doubting that Aya Adewale and Mrs. Adewale are different?. . . . .yes they are different. Yes, they perform a similar function i.e to indicate to a person that a woman is married to so and so, but no, Aya does not mean Mrs, linguistically. It means wife. Even google translate would tell you the same. Since you have failed again and again to comprehend my simple message then I would state it unequivocally for the last time: in Old Oyo empire the woman retains her father's name and if she is to be addressed in public it would be like this: - Funke, aya Adewale, omo Adegoke. That doesn't in anyway show that the woman took up her husband's name and even in our annals, nothing explicitly state that the woman took up her husband's name. Because of this discussion I have even contacted some aged persons and well-rounded historians of the Yoruba culture to table this before them and they all seem to agree with me.
You are a dull rétard. I've already explained myself above and would further waste none of my breath. I'm responsible for every post I make on Nairaland. What I'm not responsible for is making people understand me or buying my viewpoint(s). Don't quote this account on this issue again.
This once again proves how watery your working knowledge of the customs, traditions and history of the Yoruba really is. So you don't know that paper was only present in civilizations that existed in ancient Egypt and some other Mediterranean cultures, and later in China in around 206 BC or so. Long story short, old Oyo empire did not have the luxury of papers or papyrus as it's called. We communicated using Dundun, Gangan, town criers, calabashes(like when the Oyomesi through the Bashorun presented the Alaafin with an empty calabash or a parrot's egg) How is it possible for people to write their name on sand? are your brain cells dwindling by the minute? Whatever else was around? hehe. It feels like I'm bandying words with a primary one Igbo boy that thinks he knows the alpha and omega of the Yoruba history. Take my initial advise, nigga. Don't quote me on this issue again. On other threads we can discuss but I'm done on this thread with you. 6 Likes 1 Share |

So you didn't realize the question I asked you about how women in the old Oyo empire would write their names to signify identity, was only a deliberate attempt to draw you out on your bullshiit? You're even slower than I thought... Of course there was no paper or the relevant education necessary to be able to spell and write English words, neither would anyone be writing their name on sand since they can't spell - you couldn't smell hot cow shiit even if I splattered it all over your diick face. Who said Aya means Mrs? I said, Aya - Wife of Mrs - Wife of But the drunkrebel says they not the same thing... A woman addressed in public as Funke, omo Adegoke, Aya Adewale. Now tell us doofus, how is it that you're seeing both her father's name and her husband's name therein but in your mind, she kept that of the father and NEVER took that of the husband? Why did the naming not stop at Funke, omo Adegoke? Dundee.. And about quoting you again, call it a change of heart if you will.
