Actually, that’s not correct. Linguists trace Nigerian Pidgin ‘dey’ to Igbo ‘di’ (meaning ‘to be/exist’). The core origin of Nigerian Pidgin “dey” is Igbo “di,” not Edo “dèé.” Igbo “di” is a general existential verb (to be/exist), which maps perfectly onto this function.

Why do we allow Hausa and Fulanis to behave like savages, attack and kill our people in our own land? Someone explain to me why the communities aren’t teaching these people a lesson? They are always swarming & attacking en masse. Igbos or SSters don’t do this in Hausaland!

Channels TV reporter, Charles Opurum, has recounted a viølent incident that allegedly occurred yesterday at a filling station in Rumuola, Port Harcourt. Giving an account of what transpired, Charles Opurum said: “Yesterday, I suffered a very vicious att@ck at the hands of some Aboki men at Restopark fueling station, Rumuola. While trying to access the station to buy petrol for my car, the entrance was blocked by a vehicle that was apparently negotiating with an elderly northerner. I kept honking for him to move so I could pass, but it took over 15 seconds before the vehicle was cleared. The northerner then started cussing me out for honking at them. I also replied him from inside my car as I drove past towards the pump. As I stepped out of my vehicle, the man approached me aggressively and slåpped me without any provocation. I immediately returned the slap with force, which knocked him back. Within seconds, I was surrounded by other Aboki men at the station. They began h!tting me from all angles, but I managed to escape and drive off. However, a policeman attached to the station shockingly damaged my front and rear windshields. One of the men who was hanging onto my vehicle and punching me fell off as I drove away, and my tire ran over his foot. I immediately went to the police station to report the incident. The DPO of Rumuepirikom Police Station, CSP John Ayah, sent three patrol vehicles to arrest those involved. Surprisingly, all the Aboki men at the station came out in large numbers to resist the police. Eventually, the man who started the issue by slåpping me was arrested along with a few others. Upon seeing me, the manager of the fueling station apologized for how I was treated and provided CCTV footage of the incident. The matter has now moved to the DPO’s office.”

@Pressman2040 It doesn’t break me bcos if this happened in SS or SE, the soldiers would have opened fire and killed everyone, including the kids. I no longer feel sorry for a group of people who are trained to hate and dehumanise my people. Na family matter.

PATRIOTIC SOJA ($TSIR-MUNCHAN)
🇳🇬💔💔😭🫡 I have watched many things, but this broke me. Nigerian soldiers, men who leave their families, sleep in the bush, and stare death in the face daily were pelted with stones by the very people they risk everything to protect. While carrying out their lawful duty somewhere in Northern Nigeria, they were met not with gratitude, but with assault. Not with support, but with contempt. This is what they endure. Not just bullets and bombs, but the sting of stones thrown by those they swore to defend. And still, they did not break. Still, they held their fire. Still, they stood firm with patience and professionalism that most of us will never understand. Special thanks to those soldiers. You showed us what discipline truly means. You deserve more than stones. You deserve a nation's gratitude. #ThankASoldier #ForGodAndCountryAlways #GodBlessEverySoldier
