To be seen, to be heard, to be noticed or acknowledged is an innermost desire of everyone. What a blessing it is to have El Roi. No barrier, no distance, just me and an audience of one. -Agape Gani 🍁

I used to be sceptical about crypto trading, but everything changed when I met @CoachJohnnitta an experienced crypto trader who guided me through the process. I’m delighted to share that I’ve just received my 4th payout of £50,000, which was credited directly to my bank account.

@icons_closet 😭💔 this is too much!!!!

[𝓓𝓾𝓴𝓮 🧃 @fwsodiq]

its important to remember that your goal is to do well, not to convince other people that your doing well.

[The Graced Olabisi @OlabisiZoey]

When people say “they are close to Lagos”, “they are now in Oyo state”, I really don’t understand

The places they’ve been attacking are not as important?

Today’s victims were yesterday’s survivors and today’s survivors will most likely be tomorrow’s victims, if we don’t do something.

@lidocaine_v2 I can hardly forget the numerous “advice”.

“Aren’t there young people to stand up and protect your territory”

“It can never be ___”

🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Advice full mouth when e never reach your door.

[Ndi Kato (Ungwan Masara's finest) @YarKafanchan]

Southerners used to have so much advice for people of the Middle belt when the fulani attacks were primarily in our region. To apply the advice now that the brutality has spread seems really tough. You can all see that theory and practicals are different things.

You don't have to show everybody your full personality like it's very okay to be absolutely nobody to some people.

[Mai & Global Consulting Partners @MaiandGCP]

This is actually a brilliant observation that deserves a proper answer. You are not wrong about what you are seeing. But what you are describing is exactly how languages disappear without anyone noticing.

Adamawa alone has over 40 documented languages. Bura, Vere, Chamba, Gaanda, Lala, Bacchama, Bata, Marghi and more and no they are not variations as you pointed out.

But most of them are slowly being swallowed by Hausa and Fulani because those are the languages of trade, mobility and survival.

So yes, your Borno security guard speaks Shuwa Arabic and your Sokoto okada man speaks Hausa and they understand each other perfectly. That does not mean only one language exists. It means one language won the economic argument. This is what linguists call language assimilation. The dominant language does not erase the others overnight. It just makes them less useful for daily survival until the younger generation stops learning them entirely.

Now here are the facts. Ethnologue, which is the world's most authoritative database on languages, currently documents 520 living indigenous languages in Nigeria alone. Not dialects. Languages. Nigeria has also already lost 12 indigenous languages or more to extinction. Gone forever.

The Middle Belt is where this becomes undeniable. Plateau State alone has over 50 distinct languages. Keyword "Dinstinct".

Benue has Tiv, Idoma, Igede and more. Taraba has communities that cannot understand their neighbours two villages away without a translator. Your Yoruba example actually proves the point perfectly. The fact that a Yoruba person can move across the Southwest and be understood is evidence of one dominant language absorbing regional variations over centuries. That process happened. It is still happening everywhere else in Nigeria right now.

Now I am willing to bet you have never heard of Hyam, Ngas, Mwaghavul, Berom, Amo, Buji, Sura, Anaguta, or Irigwe from Plateau State. Or Kilba, Huba, Bura-Pabir, and Chibok from Borno. Or Mumuye, Jenjo, Yukuben, and Wurkum from Taraba. Or Tur, Nyandang, Kugama and Taram further into the riverine communities nobody talks about. Or what about Igala, Ebira, Bassange, Bassa-Nge, Kakanda and Oworo from Kogi alone. I have not even touched Rivers, Cross River, Bayelsa, Edo, Ondo, or Nasarawa yet. You want to know exactly where each of these is spoken? You will have to tour Nigeria for that. And I promise you, this country will humble you in ways no map ever could. The 500 languages are not cap. Most of them are just quietly dying (Bura has an estimated 11,000 speakers with most young Bura people now not able to speak the language) while we debate whether they exist. And that is the real conversation Nigeria should be having.

[Fifss of Rayne 🦋 @fisayoade_]

lol campaigning for Tinubu with all that's happening in the country is a choice.

I don't care what your argument is.

[courtnel @courtnelc]

I’ve said this before but I do think a lot of people may have vaginismus and don’t know it. Another reason you need to see an OBGYN.

[Ginger @Gboye_Rave]

As a guy work on your character !! If not, you sef no go see wife marry 😂

[Gbemisola Taiwo @MisolaofJesus]

Seriously lol.

And when money is used to pressure a partner into doing something tied to identity, autonomy or obedience, we may classify that as financially abusive or at least a financially coercive behaviour.

This season was for my sweet sweet Umeko. She did so well 💛 and I am pleased with her last words “she found herself”

I am watching S2 of Million Dollar Secret and I told myself I won’t feel anxious but right from the first episode I’ve been holding my breath. I can’t even go for this show, the anxiety? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Ìléríolúwa @Ilerioluwakiye_]

I don’t think your parents should officially meet your partner till you know this is the person you actually want to settle down with & get married to. I’m so big on that. I can’t bring just ANYBODY to my parents.

[Ayeesha (AJOSEPO the gathering) in cinemas @AyeshaLiq]

I use to shout “Nigerian designers” x 1000 till I was schooled on how the met gala works, invitation pattern, tables n cost.

Omo! I shut up immediately.

[jonzing. @ehisssss]

i’m still of the opinion that, even if you weren't raised properly, you’re an adult now, you’ve mixed with people.. learn from them at least.
