1 shortblackboy: where did u get ur ubani story from ? bonny was originally called okoloama

i agree with you but the eastern traders that did biz with the natives called it ubani

Firstly thanks to MOD for behaving properly nowadays (i attribute it to the ban-if-you-wish-revolution which is a continuous success). Such threads in the past suffered in the background

nssukka:it was originally called nri-ka i.e nri-nke-ka (greater nri). But a stronger hamlet took over,and its culture and language expanded and it was renamed nsu-ka i.e asusu-nke-ka (greater language).
Bonny - ubani (wealth of ani) was the original name. The early europeans probably asked about the name and when they were told, thought that it sounded like bonny which means 'good'.
Lagos is a portugeese name. Even some locations in the present day portugal goes by that name. The early explorers gave it that name and transcribed it on their maps which the later explorers consulted.
Onitsha - aniocha i.e ani-ocha (bright land? ,white land?)
umuahia - oma ahia . Oma is square, ahia is a noisy bird, an equivalent of sparrows

IMO This is not good at all for our economy o. We re complaining about the rise in prices of essential commodities and more mouths are being added to our population. mARK MY WORDS : this act of deportation MAY cause an increase in food prices , especially garri

Kai-Kai
Palm wine


Plus, Yes! If we're to call Garri a drink- It wins.

and there you are banning people because of that same garri. May you live in very interesting times.

Wilfred_ng:

Its obvious you never owned a site, not to talk about managing it. Have you ever scrolled down to the footer of this forum to know the number of people here? Even facebook in the mass of their establishment still can't track all the contents violating their terms of use. Seun don't mind them.

Talking of account ban, I think it should start from yours.

abifoluwa: The cries of a garri squad member
As the Duke of garri squad, I am writing to you all in tears about the blasphemy of the moderators and their treatment on the Nlanders.

The Nigeria constitution: Under the Fundamental rights, (Number 34, section 1, Part A ) it states that no person shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment.

I hold my argument about the treatment of Nlanders and the Gpan members on the moderators under the constitution of Nigeria which states- No person shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment.

This is a right that the moderators of Nland dishonored. The moderators of Nland violated this right by banning posters who express themselves freely posting about the sudden increase of the price of garri. We the Gpan squad is no different than the people who protest about the subsidy or the sudden introduction of 5000 NAIRA which actually has an effect on the increased price of garri. As it states in the constitution of Nigeria, Nobody should be degraded, but the Mods of Nland degraded the people because they protested about the price of garri freely without harming other users. This is a peaceful protest which is no different than the protest “martin Luther king JnR” organized in the United States years ago. Although some of the protest wasn’t peaceful; This was because some of the dogs who call themselves police tortured the people that protested peacefully. This people are no different than the Mods on Nland. They torture the garri squad and denied them of their fundamental rights that was written in the constitution.


I call on all ye peaceful members and the judge of Nland to judge this matter with close ears so that this matters doesnt go without you guys setting up a committee to look into it. Seun, as the president of this site, i call on you, "i am not a babalawo o(mi o kin se sango) (sugbon me pe o)" to punish the moderators severely that have over-exercised the definition of absolute power.

You have given the moderators absolute power, and i quote a source which says "a British historian of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

I believe absolutely power corrupts because it licenses and gives individuals/people the power to unilaterally impose their will on others.

Sexkillz has shown this traits as i am very sure,other Nlanders can attest to this if you are with them and they wont be scared to talk because of the tyranny sexkillz will impose on them.

Seun, this is all i have to say lipsrsealed



P.S The constitution-
Chapter IV
Fundamental Rights


34. (1) Every individual is entitled to respect for the dignity of his person, and accordingly -
(a) no person shall be subject to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment;
(b) no person shall he held in slavery or servitude; and
(c) no person shall be required to perform forced of compulsory labour.

what seun does not understand is that its dangerous oppressing a woman with nothing to lose. He doesnt know just yet

Ajibel: honestly this issue is being overflogged by the moderators. keep on banning and those you ban would never get tired of creating new accounts. before the end of the year, i bet you nl would have up to a million accounts which up to a quarter duplicates

we will see until monday....If they dont unban my account. I dont play with that account name.....It evokes lots of memories

Wilfred_ng:
At a point I wonder how Seun cope with monitoring the whole trash thing we people comment here. Niraland has gone a long way. It shall all be well.

exactly.

OMG!:
Pls all these garri jokes should stop. They're getting boring and annoying. Remember, nairaland is someone's business. How would you feel if people scatter your business or job? Would you be happy if people contantly add particles into the garri you're selling while forcing you to always remove them in order to retain your customers? Bible says do unto others what you wish for yourself. Pls lets behave like humans who respect other people's sweats. Thanks 4ur understanding.

we want to call a truce. The jokes WILL only stop if he unbans all related accounts. We cant wait to use our accounts. If not then monday will be so interesting. We will see

Appendicts...... Is that what you get for not eating garri? Just saying....

I cant wait to be banned.
This is gonna be the 12th you be banning. You know what? We re just starting.... Cos i enjoy being banned.
