somehow:
Locate all health centers in Agege and Alimosho LG

Which place in Alimosho please! I know Idimu, Ikotun, Igando primary health centers. None has a two storey complex like the one Ugwuanyi commissioned.

Not that I am even impressed with the rubbish he did anyways?

somehow:


Is this a sincere question? if you have been to lag, you won't ask this question

Sincere question buddy!! You can point me where or give me link!

When next I am in Lagos I will sure visit

somehow:
The interior shown so far looks like that of health care centers built by LGs in Lagos.

Please tell us the Local government in Lagos that built something like this?

You can wait to floor the place before the rush to cut ribbon for fine-face.

Expectedly, there is something to pander about

Kilamiti:
Isoko girls get bad character oh. Small thing dem Don break bottle for ya head

Small small dey propagate stereotype lies you hear

Afamed:

Is the position for tribal superiority? Is the occupant not qualified to hold the position? Most of you don't deserve attention.You should be by now afraid of your existence when what only concerns your choice is tribal affiliation

On a scale, you might not want to it it but Charles Soludo is the most qualified to head that team.

Let's be honest and think critically

What the hell is DECISIVE ACTION"?
You guys are overusing the word already

Can't you say something in pragmatic ?

I have been meaning to ask, what will the FG really do rather than beg SA authorities for mercy

Special Assistant ba? Sounds like a good one !

Papillo will do no wrong in my books, He earned and deserved everything he gets.

But please actually try and render some service to the state, Don't go the route of Okocha and Ikpeba in Delta state that I don't really know what they contributed

There's no need arguing what can easily be verified with someone whose disposition is not fertile for learning.

Isoko people, for over 30 years, had their provincial headquarters at Ughelli before the Isoko province was created in 1963 with headquarters at Oleh. When they went to Ughelli, what language do you think they spoke to the Urhobos there?


Think about it. I don't need your response, however pretentiously civil it may be this time.

Even Ughelli once reported to Warri and Benin pre 1950's, Which language do you think they spoke to the Binis or Itsekiri's as the case may be?

I don't get how language at the time automatically translate to some subserviency of some sort between both groups.

It was a widely known fact that the educated ones or (people that has that language dexterity that switches) were the correspondence between communities and the white man. Even my Dad speaks and switch between Agbarho Urhobo and Isoko flawlessly reason being, his interactions with people from both side of the divide.

Easy on this Urhoboidness of yours, please we have moved that a long time

Somehow, the new Fintech companies has made some of these commercial banks to think beyond the box they gave themselves.

Good to know

https://barody.com.ng is among the startups disrupting the cyber space!
I'm proud of them basically

EDITED:

Some people are missing the point in its entirety! A smartphone to some online businesses is 90% of the asset. Because you only nairaland with your phone doesn't mean others are not making millions from it.

Yes I will gladly take a loan to buy an IPhone 8 if I'm a photographer! I will take a loan to buy a smartphone if I run an Instagram business!

Don't dull yourselves fam

Is this good news?

The business end of WhatsApp is gradually coming out. Actually, WhatsApp is about the only sane App out there, Adding Ads though

The fact that they have to schedule a time for posting the information takes away the expected impact, if you ask me.
Just do it already, don't come and use our head. Ain't nobody have time for that

modath:
Naija press & the kind of reportage they keep dishing is one for the record books..... Headline & main body ogarticle? no correlation.


I still maintain that the majority of crisis in this country has a root cause in how in how the press chooses to report on topical issues...

Mohammed Indimi is an in law to IBB, Abacha, Abdusalami & Buhari but in order to click bait people, they made his UK issues only about Buhari... Wonderful.

You are kinda part of the press problem. How does your analysis relate to Mohammed Indimi and the news.

There is no link

This write-up is riddled with selfishness from a sponsored writer from the other side of the divide if you ask me.
They cannot even try and be smart and hide it.

Who is still propagating such selfish politics at this time of our National life where we have been so diccked with politicians.

Nigerians should be wiser by now!

itunuoluwa4490:
I don't know none of those language

Please we don't seem to understand your English language either.

What do you actually mean with that grammer?

This tactics of digging up old stories to discredit political opponents happens in both sides of the divide.

Typical of the hot and cold politicians we have, even Bubu said good things about Atiku.

Nothing new! Make una rest biko!!

We all know how budgets like these go when there is no ability but it is good some might be cashing out corruptly.

Nigeria we dey

Isoko is not a dialect of Urhobo and vice versa. Isoko is an equal member with Urhobo in the Edoid language family. However, Urhobo, Isoko, Okpe, Erhowa and Uvwie all form a cluster which can be effectively called the Urhobo-Isoko languages cluster or what Ben Elugbe called Southwestern Edoid languages. The oldest language in this cluster, which also happens to be the most threatened language in of its number of speakers, is Erhowa. Indeed, many linguists believe that all the languages in the Urhobo-Isoko cluster evolved from Erhowa, which in turn evolved from a proto-Edoid language.

Despite the fact that Isoko and Urhobo are distinct languages in their own rights, they are 80% similar in grammar, vocabulary, and phonology. Differences in both languages become greater the farther you move from the collective center of Iyede-Evwreni-Enwhe. In the towns I just listed, Urhobo and Isoko are almost the same as speakers here can communicate with each other without qualms. However, when you move from this center and go farther towards Ozoro and Oleh, the dialects become deeper and the average Urhobo man may not understand what is said completely. The same scenario plays out when the Isoko man is confronted with Uvwie, Okpe and to some extent, Ughievwen and Udu.


Erhowa is not a dialect of Isoko, just as Okpe and Uvwie are not really dialects of Urhobo. However, those who speak the languages identify as Isoko or Urhobo, as the case may be. This identification has led to the situation where their languages are treated as dialects. It is this identification that also led to the idea that Isoko is a dialect of Urhobo. Realistically, they are all in a language cluster in which common words, grammar, vocabulary and culture are shared. Each of the languages has its own dialects and units too. For the sake of expediency, Okpe and Uvwie are usually treated as variant languages under Urhobo while Erhowa is treated as a variant language under Isoko.


Furthermore, since central Urhobo (Agbarho-Ughelli dialect) is virtually understood by all of the Urhobo-Isoko cluster, Urhobo has become the overarching language and thus, takes the role as the unifying tongue that connects all. Again, Isoko gained socio-political identity from the Urhobos, with whom they shared common heritage, historical and socio-political identity prior to 1958 when an Isoko division was created by the then Western Regional Government as a punishment to the Urhobos who didn't Awolowo's party. It was a move that sought to reduce the perceived importance and numerical strength of the Urhobos. Attempts were also made to create Okpe and Uvwie divisions which would have seen Okpe and Uvwie as separate ethnic groups but the Okpe and Uvwie people did not see any sense in it and did not the move. They had invested too much in the Urhobo identity for them to establish a distinct ethnic identity. Furthermore, the Isoko division was possible because many of the Isoko elite then already held resentments for their perceived marginalisation by Urhobo leaders. They felt that Urhobos were trying to swallow their identity. It was against this backdrop that they left the Eastern Urhobo division. Ironically, the [s]Isoko language is going extinct at a much higher rate than Okpe and Uvwie [/s] NOT TRUE and that can be said for all Minority languages including Urhobo who remained with Urhobo and whose languages have been preserved in many forms via collective efforts from the Urhobo nation.

Because of the creation of Isoko division, the Isoko Development Union was formed to cater for the Isokos who no longer partook in Urhobo Progress Union. Isokos started to switch from the Ughelli Urhobo dialect which was gaining popularity to the Uzere dialect which is now the central Isoko language. Many other changes occurred that all culminated in the birth of Isoko as an ethnic group. Because of how Isoko evolved from a language into an ethnicity, many people still consider it as a sub-group of Urhobo and therefore, that the language is a dialect of Urhobo. [s]While it is true that the people and their culture are 100% Urhoboid, [/s] the language is regarded by scholars as a distinct Edoid language. However, this categorisation is also new and was done by Ben Elugbe, a non-Urhobo-Isoko scholar and so one can argue that it is a personal view. Unfortunately, many other Urhobo and Isoko scholars have authenticated the categorisation in their works.

You started off on a good premise but your bias for Urhoboidness or whatever that means spoilt your exposition.

Please the striked lines on your epistle do not hold true and cannot be substantiated.

EfemenaXY:


It sure does.

I read somewhere that with proper linguistics investigation, a lot of history can be unearthed about a people’s tribe, migration, etc

Now this is something I definitely would be interested in

@ BabyfaceAfrica: do keep us updated on your research findings

I pray he does something we can keep for history and future sakes though!
Efemena of life! Where have you been yo?

Evé obuwo?

This will entail an exit from production in its Agbara plant.

Exit from production equates shutting down abeg. Don't bamboozle people with unusual correctness to save face and PR.

Probably the presidency called them to do a PR all in effort not to make this failed government look bad.

We know all these things, Stay woke

This is temporary the said

babyfaceafrica:
thank you very much.. my masters thesis is on isoko language and how their grammar structure looks like..I don't speak it..and stay in Lagos..... we were advised to choose isoko to help its promotion.. thanks

Grammar structure?? That is a bit of some serious studies right there ! Don't know if i know all those things well enough but i can help with the little knowledge at my disposal .

Please send mail to [email protected],
I cant seem to access this monikers email

babyfaceafrica:
good day Sir, please I am a linguistics Pg student at UI working on the isoko language.. I really know nothing about the language.. I need all the help I can get

What is it exactly you want to learn ? Send me a DM and also you can please send a message to these handles

The issue is not with new codes but with the implementation of same codes.

I don't like the outfit. It sucks!

Can we just increase the funding to the wack education sector already?
All these cosmetic paper qualification brouhaha is not going to save the sector

Education is on the concurrent list so Federal polytechnics can do theirs and state polytechnics can desire to toe that line or continue HND.

News like these are not clear, which of the Ikorodu corridor did they mention, Ojota is also in the Ikorodu Veranda too

Inasmuch I know for a fact that any Lagosgovernor can be seen to be doing their job and I am not big on giving out accolades for people doing their jobs especially from Nigerian politicians.

I must say this is good, maintenance is something that we don't take seriously in this part of the world.

But this wack idea of scissors and ribbons for commissioning is sickening.
Is it in our constitution? �
