Yoruba is also tonal language with every word ending in viral sounds. Some dialects are spoken as if you are singing. That is why it has always been a preferred choice for singing by most people - even those who are not Yorubas.
Christy Essien was not Yoruba but her biggest musical legacy is a Yoruba song 'Seun Rere'.
It is a musical language with a family of drums, including one that mimics the language's tonality.
What you call Yoruba tax is a blessing from God to the Yorubas & those who are ready to partake of it.
I dont understand why a man is asked to go get married just because he has made money.
"You have a good job. You have a good apartment. You have money. What are you waiting for? Get yourself a woman."
Get a woman to do what? Getting married is not the problem, I have a problem with the monetary qualification. Why do I need money to get married and she comes as she is?
Marriage is a merger not an acquisition. Thus, your financial status is irrelevant. Whatever stage you are in life and you choose to commit, the parties come together to do life together, which means that the bills become one. Both income are family income and the couple put family first by investing both income to the success of the home. Marriage is not the acquiring of somebody to increase your burden and expenses.
Life isn't fair, and it doesn't care about you. It will hit you hard, again and again and again, without reason, without warning, and without mercy. You can do absolutely everything right; play by the rules, work hard, be a good person, and still lose. The only thing you control is yourself; your thoughts, your reactions, your choices.
Reports says he was poisoned in Abuja after hanging out with his friends. He currently plays in Czech and I guess he returned home after the season ended.
They found him lifeless this morning.
You see, there are some people who walk around with zero conscience. There’s someone out there, who thought this through to k!ll another man.
Gosh!!!!
Why exactly?
It’s been troubling my spirit, so I should warn you guys that as we enter summer, you will see that Oyibo girls are beautiful and will be entering your eyes😜
Lend yourself sense and legs, then pick a race. Many people ended up in prison last summer. Run o!
i knew a woman like this who had her own apartment, paid her own bills, drove her own car and never had to call anyone for financial help.
one day, i intentionally asked her, what do you need a man for? she smiled and said... need and want are two different things, that she didn’t want a man to survive, she just wanted one to share peace, loyalty, laughter and a life that felt lighter together.
for her, love was never about rescue, it was about partnership
a man wasn’t supposed to be a provider she depended on but a companion who added value where money couldn’t reach cos comfort can pay the bills yes but comfort can’t hug you after a hard day, build memories with you or grow old beside you.
so do you understand now why you still need a man as a woman regardless of your status and achievements?
Sorry I ghosted you. I know you’re mad at me but it’s fine if you don’t want to hear anything I have to say. I was lost in the wilderness but now I have found myself. I hope we continue from where we stopped. I still like you.
Dear African men, you are not more masculine than your western counterparts. Start that 50/50 today and watch how so many things changes with your relationships. A woman who does not have equal contribution in a relationship is not a stakeholder, she’s a leech, she will suck you dry and cheat on you with her gym instructor. She risk losing nothing, without investing. Strike that balance today and save yourself from these merciless and dangerous women.
They never do.
I've said for years that almost nobody in Nigeria has experienced actual love before, whether male or female. Not from their romantic partners, not from their family, not even from their parents. It's all an unhealthy soup of unprocessed emotions, theatre performance and the worst kind of unbridled capitalism.
Nigerian relationships are characterised by a lot of things. Things like Desire. Lust. Dependency. Codependency. Convenience. Need. Force.
Love is unfortunately not one of them.
Nobody is happily married, we just dey tolerate ourselves cos dem no born or train us for the same family/house.
Tolerance is a fundamental, essential component of a lasting marriage, acting as the ability to accept, respect & accommodate a partner's differences, flaws & imperfections without constant complaint or conflict. Na the secret be that😉
