cant u take a simple joke?

i'm not sure we have up to 4m Nigerians in Cameroon BTW....or is it because of Nigerians living in bakkassi peninsula?

Hbuyosh:




Okay, this is the joke we kenyans were sharing here.....

That the east African media would find it awkward mentioning Kumawood, given what those two words mean here.

The first word is a very vulgar Swahili word for the female' organ, while the "wood" is slang for a male organ.

Now if u combine the two.....too many would find that word extremely revolting.

MtuMsuper:

hehehehe, a Ghanaian wouldn't understand! A Swahili speaker would instantly. A Ghanaian friend who once came to Kenya asked me what " thank you " in Swahili was. When i told him it was "Asante", he was even more flabbergasted. If you know Ghana well, that is the name of a tribe there and he was from the Ewe tribe who apparently have some beef with them. I told him he could use the alternative "shukran".
Another nairalander here called MtuFulani blasted Nigeria's Olympics misadventures very nastily, and most folks didn't know what his moniker means, they thought he was a fulani herdsman. I took inspiration from him to form my name since I like the comic superhero Superman.

African names and how they sound funny in another African language!

freshest4live:

For your information there are 4 million Nigerians in Cameroon, they are all over the place in countries worse than Nigeria so l dunno why you Kenyans should feel so big.

MtuMsuper:

The brother who asked the question made an observation : Nigerians are in increased numbers over here. I attempted an answer.

shervydman:


true talk..... chaale....true talk.i'll try, i'm getting older on a daily basis
what about u?

freshest4live:

Yes we do, so many in Douala Cameroon as well.

i get one nice princess wey i dey want plan my life plus. so far so good.

shervydman:


hehehehehe.......... even here in Nigeria, some native words have different meaning to another tribe.

shervydman:

pls, make it snappy, don't dull!......no time to check time, make another man no come snatch am for ur hand.

MtuMsuper:

I can tell you something else : Enugu means "E - monkey" in a direct translation from kikuyu language of Kenya. There is a very large plain in western Kenya called Kano plains. No relationship with Kano City.
Oyoo is a luo name, very similar to Oyo state of 9ja, but different meanings. We also have kenyans with surnames like Amadi.
Oya, how did these things happen?

leathalbeast:
hahaha, thank bros but she gotta wait for a while though.

shervydman:

Nigerians are much in only UK and US respectively and they're not even up to 3m each.
though, we're everywhere on the face of the earth, but, not as much as those two aforementioned places.

u can check!

shervydman:

why?.........no sicar?

leathalbeast:
i think nigerians in the u.k will exceed 5 million

leathalbeast:
hehehe, i just want to put certain things in place before

freshest4live:

Hahahaha, the Kenyanstar guy doesn't know one click would also show poor Kenyans defecating on the street. I'm not just in the mood for that now.

freshest4live:

OK, now you know better. There is no single Nigerian story, some places are more peaceful than others just like in Kenya, other places in Nigeria may provide what you need better than the others too. People travel also to see what another world looks like or to compete better. Kenya only overtakes Nigeria in terms of a more stable electricity which is what we don't have for most part of the country.

MtuMsuper:

By this i take it that you mean to say it's your right to move elsewhere when business competition gets hot in 9ja, and you feel you have the right to out compete and out muscle your kenyan counterpart? I thought that was a description reserved for the Land of the Free and Brave aka the USA? Wouldn't it be better if you tried to be smarter and improve home?

shervydman:


.......... u're reminding me about the OX-MAN.

shervydman:


................ i'm just laughing, does any Nigerian city has a different meaning in Swahili abi na Kiswahili?

NairobiWalker:


Enugu means baboon in various Bantu languages including Kikuyu. Warri sounds like a Tanzanian saying Wali (Tanzanians when speaking Swahili replace l with r, I've never known why). Wali is the Swahili word for cooked rice. Gombe is the gigantic word for cow in Swahili. It means a really big cow. Sokoto is the word for twined. Kano means a small toe in various Bantu languages including Luhya.
Generally Nigerian city names would sound heavy funny to Swahili speakers - like trying to explain how a huge tanker rolled down a hill - like Maiduguri, Ogbomosho, Ogun, Abeokuta, Ibadan, Katsina, Kaduna etc.
Those are all I can tell.

shervydman:


......... see u?

USA,CHINA and INDIA have the most travelled citizens in the world.
does that mean they did not improve home?

MtuMsuper:

wealthy, mostly northern European countries like Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway have the most travelled citizens in the world. Income determines your ability to be well travelled. Countries with large populations have large numbers of their people abroad. That doesn't make them well travelled countries, just countries with loads of people. Only the USA has well travelled citizens, but alas, most of them are military types.

freshest4live:

Outmuscle you? How na? Those in Kenya know better why they are there, discuss with them, l'm not their oracle, lol.

uzzyfire:
he also finished Nigerias money

MtuMsuper:

Okay Let me rephrase it this way: If I were you, can you convince me to try out Nigeria for business or professional opportunities? What can make me leave my "small" Kenya and put up some serious money into a venture in the GIant? I sincerely want to at least be a major player at something if not the Top Dog. Try and sell me a fantastic Nigeria. In other words, where's the money in Nigeria?

HEHEHEHEHEHE................... GOMBE, gigantic cow .
