Culture / Re: Ikwerre Names & Their Meanings by wolems: 7:03pm On Oct 01, 2012
I feel for you. Do you know that kini and gini mean the same. kini means what in yoruba same in ikwerre. Gini means what in igbo. what can u make out of this. Pls go and be tutored in Language usage and some things will be clear to u. There are several things listed. If you are so much learned in Language make your Igbo analysis vis - a - vis the ikwerre language. place those terms and names in place of your igbo translations.

Do you know that some myopic individuals believe that if you are not hausa, yoruba or igbo you dont have a place in Nigeria? That is why they coined wazobia just to tie Nigeria within their ambits. this is an aberration. I pity such persons. they have forgotten that the British decided to divide Nigeria into regions (East, West North and MiddleBelt) just for convenience sake. They did not really know that Nigeria was a multi-ethnic country. This mentality of three major ethnic groups have eaten deep into the consciousness of some half-baked intellectually-minded citizens to the extend that they tend to forget that we have over over 250 ethnic groups and languages. Am sure you people are aware that census in this country has been politicized. Please live lets live.

it is unfortunate that most people dont know their identity. Any ikwerreman who tells you that he is an igbo is suffering from identity and inferiority crisis. the ikwerre people have history which can never be traced to any igbo land. we are from Benin by origin. culturallywise we are absolutely different. linguistically, there may be similarities but we speak differently. the ikwerre language as we have it today may have undergone certain metamorphoses as a result of intermarriages and trades. most non-ikwerres tend to bastardize the language inorder to be identified as part of the ethnic group. let me tell you, the igbos are trying to key into the wealth of rivers state that is why they are looking for an aspect of rivers state they can call their own. all these cultural possession syndromes are all geared towards political reasons. again, any ikwerreman who tells you that he is igbo should have an igbo lineage, his mother or grandparents can be traced to an igboland. that your grand father hails from an igbo land does not imply that all ikwerres are igbos. we have origin, we have history and have a place. we wont identify with you igbos because we are quite different. similarities in language does not make us the same the way Dutch, German and English languages may have similarities yet the owners of those languages are quite different from the other. do you know that 'man' in english language is translated as 'mann' in german language. bruder (german) with two dots on top of the 'u' is brother. Gott means God. This is just to establish some linguistic similarities. we will not stop those igbos who are looking for cultural companions, but they have lost it with the ikwerres. I believe that they will soon possess Eleme in ogoniland. Let the Ogoni people be conscious of this. they will tell you that Eleme is igbo as a way of being part of Ogoni.

Health / Re: Please Help: How Can I Solve Mouth Odour by wolems: 1:13pm On Aug 28, 2009
Sleeping (Morning Breath); While you are asleep, your saliva flows more slowly. Since the flow is slower, it is unable to dilute the release of sulphuric gas causing bad breath.ยท Smoking causes bad breath for a couple of reasons:- Tar and nicotine build up on mouth surfaces such as teeth, tongue and sides of cheeks.- Smoking dries the mouth by inhibiting saliva flow.
