Thewrath:

I did not specify wether isiagu means lion,leopard or tiger in my statement and the difference has nothing to do with my comment.

You said "it's the presence of isiagu that makes it" But there is no isiagu. There is isiodum.

Thewrath:
The upholstery material used in making the attire is not what makes it the igbo traditional attire…it’s the presence of Isiagu on the material that makes it.

It's a lion motif that's on the fabric. Leopards are significant to igbos, not lions. So that makes it obvious it's an appropriation.

That article by Reno was very enlightening. He knows his onions.

9JAMac10:
yes indeed. Hahahaha. At my blue collar jobs back in the day Africans were often fired or written up for clumsy work attitudes

Ditto

Or they complain about being told what to do by a manager 20 years their junior.

9JAMac10:
Fresh off the boat naija folks have it difficult because they come from a non work culture. Now they see that oyibo is not doing giveaway and they got to work for every penny they get defeated and break down 😂 after about 5 years she will be alright

This.

Look at the one up there complaining that he couldn't handle 4 hours of washing dishes. Automated o, not by hand.

They miss sitting around and not being held able.

RodgersAkpafu:

I'm talking of HOW THEY REASON

If you interact with a British born to Pakistani parents here, many times you will be wondering if this one came from Pakistan
Especially the ladies
The thinking is so different from that of others

And that's a good thing. Better than believing in honour killings and arranged marraiges.

Yankee101:


My first post said ladies don’t do it cos a man can have a child at 70. So clearly I read it and I know there’s a man and a woman involved.

I assume you’re educated and know the statistics that’s obvious that men die way before women in most countries. That’s why we have more older women than older men who are single. Men can also easily remarry at 70. It’s harder for a woman.

The statistics doesn’t favour a woman growing old without a child

So why then are you making it about the woman when it's a T DECISION?

pocohantas:


We know how it goes.
They don't want marriage, but they also hate to see women who don't want marriage.

They don't want to slave providing for kids, but they also don't wanna see DINKs.

Coignitive dissonance in Coco's voice. 😃

Yeah. When they believe women exist simply to serve men, that's what happens.

Yankee101:


Most of the so called successful women regret it later in old age

Most

It’s different if she can’t have kids than being fertile and choosing not to. If you live abroad you need to come and see how they’re suffering from depression despite having money in their old age. You think the primary and most successful target of yahoo boys being single older women is by mistake?

You didn't read the topic did you? You just rushed to comment. She isn't single.

RodgersAkpafu:

it doesn't tbvh

I live among them sha so I'm quite familiar with them

The ones born here, most of them will have 0-3 kids MAX

it's their grand pa's and co who migrated from the mountains that do like that

So how comes you called them oyinbo?

RodgersAkpafu:

With oyibo way of thinking
likely grew up in the UK sef

Pakistani people are known for having more kids than they can afford. I love this for them. They're different.

But why does this bother you?

pocohantas:


Especially men!
Why? I thought they see marriage and fatherhood as slaving for women to enjoy. Lmao! 😂😂😂

Abi o. Always them! Na wetin? We all know why sha

12inchess:
oyinbo people it's not compulsory they have kids for them. Some of them have cats and dogs as their family .

These people are not oyinbo. They are pakistanis.

Fryx:
Not even cats? How selfish.

Not as selfish as having kids when you're broke.


Why the news pepper you ppl like this?

Yankee101:
Ladies don’t do it
A man can have kids at 70
You can’t

And what if the woman doesn't want kids?

Kobojunkie:
1. How do they cook their noodles? Do you mean with all of the stuff they add or what exactly?

2. Not true at all! Asians also eat instant noodles and they don't discriminate the way you do. It is all a matter of convenience and availability to most of them.

3. But the difference is simply in what the noodles are made from not in the health benefits of the noodles themselves.
➜The bulk of the noodles which you term generic are made from wheat flour, salt, water, and kansui.
➜Rice noodles are made primarily with rice.
➜Glass noodles are made from water and starch from mung beans, sweet potatoes, potatoes, tapioca, or canna starch.
➜While Lo mein is made from wheat and flour with egg.

They cook their noodles with seasonings and garnishes that exist in nature. How many times will I say this? Quite the contrast to indomie that pre-packaged with additives and preservatives. That's the difference.

Yes as I've already stated, yes they eat instant noodles too 🙄but they're also familiar with making noodle dishes indigenous to their culture.

Non-asians typically will eat instant noodles because that's the kind of noodles they're familiar with. What are you not understanding?

Kobojunkie:
1. How many Asians eat their noodles only in these restaurants where the noodles are hand made every single day?

2. Lies! The bulk of those who purchase and eat instant noodles in those Asian countries are their own people in those countries who make up the majority of the population. So how did you come about this claim of yours that they are instead eaten by foreigners?

The noodles aren't even hand made, but they're made with natural ingredients.

Don't you have Asians around you? You don't see how they cook their noodles?

Ofcourse they eat instant noodles but typically instant noodles are more popular with foreigners.

Most people around the world are familiar with generic instant noodles. But how many people that aren't Asians are familiar with glass noodles, rice noodles or lo mein?

joseph1832:
men like me? There are no men like me, and for your info, I ain't got a wife. See why I said you're good at nothing more than making general statement. Lmao

I see single fatherhood in your future.

Kobojunkie:
That ain't true at all!

Those who make theirs from scratch are typically those who work in the food industry and like to hone the art. The vast majority cannot and do not make their noodles by hand same as the vast majority in Italy or Spain do not make their own Spaghetti or pasta by hand either. Heck, it is literally the same in Nigeria where the vast majority do not make their own fufu or garri by hand.

You're right. The version of noodles they eat is more close to natural and takes more effort.

If you've ever been to an east asian restaurant, they will never serve you instant noodles. Dishes like Pho, chow mein are made with a different types of noodles, garnished with natural ingredients and that makes it healthier.

Instant noodles are for foreigners. Ofocurse there are Asians that eat it too, but majority will cook their dishes naturally.

Just like how powdered fufu exists in Nigeria but its usually eaten by Nigerians abroad. Same thing here.

trium:

Be careful with this conclusion. For instance, not every American food is accepted in Europe. Asians have a different body system that may not be the same thing with us, this is why it is best to first eat the food around you before going outside.

Also, Indomie is not the most popular brand for Asians. Indomie is from Indonesia, it was never in Nigeria 30 years ago. 2 minute noodles? That one was so popular when it was introduced in the early 90s. Indomie's biggest market is Nigeria and it is not the most popular brand for Asians. There are other brands they are used to depending on the country they come from in Asia. We have had a situation where Ajinomoto, despite its ban is still used in the North. What is dangerous about the noodles? It is not the noodles itself but the ingredients and this is what nutritionists are concerened about. Noodles is made from wheat. The other thing they add, if you say we have not seen the effect, that is because you have had it for only 20 years. Parents never used to give their children noodles to eat as a staple in the past or as lunch .

Asians usually make their noodles from scratch. It's often plain and they garnish it with natural ingredients. It's nothing like indomie, it's healthier.

Instant noodles is for foreigners.

Mariangeles:
It was easier for her to criticize without making better suggestions.

If noodles were that bad, then majority of the Asians would've been wiped out.

The noddles Asians typically eat is different. They make it from scratch. It's non-asians that typically eat instant noodles that are pre-packaged with sodium.

joseph1832:
actually the sarcasm found you, because I just gave the exact same thing you label men who beat their wives.

Keep running them lips and you wife will batter you soon.

Men like you no fit keep your home.

joseph1832:
And wHen Men react to women who frustrate them, what do you call them?

The sarcasm was lost on you. I'm giving the exact same response you men give when women are beaten.

Now control that tongue x.

Zooposki:
Hmmm, Maybe the African man carries his barbaric mentality towards women to the UK. Wotowoto from the women is the end result.

Who dash them? The houses are a collective effort of the husband & wife.

HeatSeeker:


Men do not go haywire in Africa. The social construct here is patriarchal. For the family unit to properly function, the man who provides and protects his family unit is in charge.

The Western world has subverted this by empowering women. I am not against giving more rights and protection to women. I am against the abuse of this family system by African women all because they are now in a society where they have more rights and are empowered by the law.

onatisi:
New found freedom backed by the law and country to misbehave . They will even be paid for their their misbehaviour so why won't they misbehave. It is a woman country , whether the man is right or wrong , the women will always be given the soft landing , I heard it is the same too in

Why do you lot keep running to these western countries then? Just stay in your backwater country where you are the alpha & omega. Problem solved.

Piro18:


When I got married to my wife almost 20 years ago, I just casually told her when should we get married, then she hurriedly pick a date. This kneeling down is unafrican and most importantly it is unnecessary. I believe boys that does this going on there knees want to presurise the lady to accept their proposal.

that making your wife take your surname is also African.

Mr Africa.

Savedday2:
What did u expect? If not that I fear God, I would have say "death to all SIMP"!

The worst thing to happen to any man is to marry a 9ja girl.

If u are considering marrying/taking a 9ja girl abroad, kindly abort plan now! They are only good for ashawo work and use & dump. All of them.

They aren't even Nigerian. Moroñ

joseph1832:
1sharon, what do you have to say about this?

He shouldn't have frustrated her. Afterall that is what you men say when a man beats his wife.

Yeye.

He sold his buttocks again.

CONOR17:
notice how all of them dont see any fault in themselves but the guy

When have you ever seen a guy come to say he was at fault in his relationship?

Drella:


Are love and "keeping the lights on" mutually exclusive?

Well yes, If you marry only for love.

chidiokay:



Na from clap dance dey start, besides most relationship started from friendiliness, every friendship has an element of attraction that can advance depending on personality

i cant toasting any of my ex or babe its alway from friendliness, no harm in trying or shooting ones shot beko

That's my point. Because a girl is friendly doesn't mean she wants a relationship. Just get the message
