English

@Hybrid_Ola He understands SM. So that’s why he tries to put all those kinds of acts on the internet to spark controversies
It’s all game. I see beyond all that veil
English

@eastBUBU @john322226 That's sad.
Let's grow together. I follow back.
English


@jamesmac417 @wuwaika @lorddrey No. Let’s follow each other and I will DM you how the word came about.
English

I know "Aboki" means "my friend".
But when Southerners use it there is a double meaning. They use it to demean northerners and use it as a slur not with good intentions.
It is just like how White people use the word "Nigger".
So I learned a long time ago to address all northern people as "My guy" if I don't know their name.
Change begins with you. 🤝

If you struggle to pray at night, here are seven things I have practiced over the years that may help you.
1. Do not eat heavy meals after 7 p.m. If possible, avoid eating anything at all after 7 p.m.
2. Sleep early. Ideally, be in bed by 9 or 10 p.m.
3. Even if you sleep early, set an alarm for the exact time you want to wake up and pray.
4. When you wake up to pray, avoid the following:
a) Do not kneel immediately. You are already feeling weak from sleep. Stand on your feet and, if possible, walk around your room while praying.
b) Do not close your eyes. You are already feeling sleepy. Closing your eyes will make it easier to fall back asleep. Turn off the lights to reduce distractions, but keep your eyes open while praying.
c) Play worship songs if necessary to create the right atmosphere.
d) Finally, depend on the Holy Spirit. He is the One who strengthens and quickens you.

@SweetMOMdee @wuwaika @lorddrey But may I know where "Nyamiri" is term as a slur please..
Cox I may be wrong but...."nyama nyiri" is "will you eat swallow?" (Fulani)
I think that's what you're tryna say abi
English

I will just use this conversation to educate others.
“Ba Yarbe” - Of Yoruba origin
“Ba Haushe” - Of Hausa origin
“Ba Larabe” - Of Arabic origin
“Ba Nupe” - Of Nupe origin
Etc.
“Nyamiri” is as much a slur as “Mun chi.”
“Aboki” is actually kind because the real meaning of the word is “friend” so it is only the way one uses it that might give it a negative connotation.
That said, I am against all slurs, regardless how they emerge and I don’t use them either.
English

@wuwaika @SweetMOMdee @lorddrey You can continue with the insults
I'll still go ahead and educate on this
Nyamiri "male Igbo"
Nyamira "female Igbo"
Nyamirai "Igbos in general" plural if they're many🤝
Bayarbe "male Yoruba"
Bayarbiya "female Yoruba"
Yarbawa "Yoruba in general" plural
& We mean no insult!
English

@jamesmac417 @SweetMOMdee @lorddrey You lying bastard, which Igbo refer to their women nyamirai, gtf with your lying mandibles.
English

@wuwaika @SweetMOMdee @lorddrey I'm a Christian from the north,and yes...we mean no insult or degrading the Igbos, even the Igbos refer themselves as "nyamirai" in traditional gatherings here💯
But everyone knows if a southerner call you aboki he never meant to call you his friend 🙏
English

@jamesmac417 @SweetMOMdee @lorddrey You don’t want a slur is actually is 🤣 😂 He say na Nyamira means female igbo 🤣
English

@Ihunanya_chi Well they said loudly in one mosque near me here that you can beat your wives but don't break their bones
English

Muslim lady: Islam teaches men to treat their wives nicely, that’s why your sisters are running off to marry our men.😹😹😹
Me: Awww… you mean the same Islam that tells men to beat their wives in Surah 4:34? 😏
Muslim lady: You’re taking it out of context! It doesn’t say beat!
Me: Oh really? It says: “But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance, [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them.”
Muslim lady: You don’t understand Arabic, that translation is wrong.
Me: LOL, the Arabic word wa-ḍribuhunna literally means “to strike” or “to beat.” It’s the same word used elsewhere in the Quran for actual physical action, not symbolism. So… what exactly are you saying?
Muslim lady: I’m not here to debate. You are rude and arrogant… I’m going to block you now.
Me: Wait, before you block me… do you at least agree that Islam allows men to beat their wives?
…Seen.
🚫 Oops. Blocked.
Well, she read it, and I’m pretty sure she agrees, she just wasn’t brave enough to say it out loud. 😅

English

@SweetMOMdee @lorddrey I'm not arguing with you, just telling you the truth
Is left for you to allow the change start with you or rest as you already wish🤝
English

@jamesmac417 @lorddrey 😂 By the same token Aboki just means friend so lets rest.
English

@SweetMOMdee @lorddrey That's not an insult
It means "male Igbo"
Nyamira is "female Igbo"
English
