"We come from d same place now". Wussup with that? Fellow 9gerians whussup naaa? U travel yankee come bck meet us, ur africano skin color neva turn white, so y u dey put up big front 4 fellow 9ja. All of u help us ansa this puzzle abeg? Or where r d yankee dwellers (she laffs)......
Ok u meet fellow Naijan who came bck from abroad.......dey start frontin, dey stick their noses up, New policies: I dnt eat tuwo, I dnt go out in d sun ::). Gul kuma, her own is a serios case, what I find funny is this; Yankee gul bck in homeland...small thing she will say "I hav d ryt" womans right"..blah blah....Again she has only been abroad for 3wks, now she doesnt know how 2 wear iro & buba or betta still zena de riga. Guy has only travelled abroad for 3yrs now he claims his hausa transmission is lost........sai slangs (I dey salute dan giden Tony Blair ::) ). The main the main: instead phoeney takes over broken english & ur original mothers tongue. Accent!
Some Hausa folks 4 instance, can put on a front! big time, & I also mean Nigerians in general. (lol)Some might even try to ditch pidgin English, Hausa, Fulde in favour of the Queen's language only to embarass themselves with a fake American accent & d worse comes wen hausa accent mixes with posh/brithish accent. U d listener will keep on wonderin what that foreign accent faker is yannin about! Omo jare speak clearly! On d contrary, I can understand if you are in the midst of unscrupulous people but then again, why be there in the same place when "Birds of the same feathers flock together"?
Furthermore, these set of ppl that do not want to belong inside the map of Nigeria ....ask them where they are from and they will mention a city or state in America, UK, France, China, or whereeva. ?Of course we know u dey camp abroad but whereeeeeeee r u from in Naija? Because when we ask where r u from we don't mean what state u live in d UK, US or South France, we mean where in Nigeria r u from & d last time I checked there was no Atlanta or Miami on the Nigerian map. ::)
On a more serious note we all need to keep it real with each other cos u hav told us u dey base 4 yankee, so whussup? why front? No bi africano pessin u b? You travel abroad come bck meet us, say wetin? ::) "a'a ai na zama bature". (hiss)
These kinda ppl get on my nerves bcus dey too dey front. Wat do u think?
This is a question you have to answer first for yourself.it took me almost 30 mins before i finish reading this post,and all i understand was people are talking slangs and some do not understand.you should correct your englishi befor other will folow.is the same english slang you are sfeaking.
3omins :o..........sho!!! u & snail........who slow pass..........(she laffs)..........it will take u a decade 2 read point on politics in d general board ashe!!! :-/
ok..........lemme put it in laymans language:
issues r:
STRAIGHT UP FRONTIN OF NIGERIAN IN YANKEES AND THEIR RETURN TO THEIR HOMELAND PUTTIN UP BIG FRONTS 4 FELLWO NIJANS.............ME WAN KNOW DEY DO THAT?
FRONTIN (eg: Yenga, gayu, girman kai, bigmanism, lookin down on ppl, egotism..............& so many ish)
Point of correction, I wasnt speakin slangs......I was just "SHORTENIN MY WORDINGS" 4 d beneficiary of those that it will take them more than 30mins 2 read, because if I am 2 write in full..........emmmm another kanoonline page will b created. There is a BIG difference wit I wan2 & I wanna......
Funky Mallam I hpe u gane (she smiles)
okkkkkk............I on-dastand, maganarki DUTSE!
You are so right, my own thinking is if you come back from abroad we are all the same hakane ko ba haka bane? But I also just cant on-dastand those: (yan girman kai, yan kwama/gayu, yan kaudi da kakanba, yan ji da kai, yan nuna isa kowa banza, yan iyayi) You see they come back with attitude. For example I have a freind who came with her freinds to my house because I frequently hold get together dinners with close circle of family & freinds......the freind was studying in US, it was time for all of us to eat we all served our selves, muka zauna on the floor but nooooo she doesnt sit on the floor, ::) time for Magrib prayer she said she will do it when she gets home because of her make up!!! Now we were all doing girls talk, hira the girl was yanning "kunsa mu in US so so so" *hiss wetin she go fit show meh sef? One kano hausa boi come blow his americanised accent, the slangs go fit deefen man and E fit make blind man opun eyes!
Nija men are now afraid of Nija girls in yankee because their calamities to much, Nija women too dey fear yankee nija bois
What makes these kind of people in Yankee think say dey betta pass us?
Dey go dey pose, dey go dey front.....Abeg drop Oyinbo style and pick up your heritage ?
thats true!!!its only when we appreciate our selves thats when people/the world will respect us!!!so bros and sis's lets be ourselves(our true colour) and lets dance to our drums....

Salaam Jameel,
I totally feel your views & we hope you register & become a
member of this online community!
These things happen when one does'nt know where his life
is heading to or don't have a future ambition! they are also
known as NFA's (No Future Ambition). It's totally wrong ppl
with this type of lifestyle to be doing some things that are
borrowed from the turawa/yahud lifestlye (gayu). This is
totally wrong!
Ma'assalaam.
When I was in Kano the abroadians who came back with fake accents were laughed at and called the "been-tos" as in "I's been to London" and "I's been to New York".
Nothing ever changes.
Word up!

As brother was sayin: Correct facts!
And so whut if you dey reep for yankee? :-/ If you act like them and be like them whussup showin off. Are you trying to make nigerians feel low or unwanted ne? If so what ever the case might be if you are a citizen of Nigeria and you stepped out abroad: My own is: no matter your crunk up style, no matter your frontings, no matter you cool flows, if you be the don or the dawg, hussla, bowler, shack-howla,thug Nigga, or completely westernised I STILL CONSIDER YOU A TYPICAL NIGERIAN if your skin no bi pure white and if you no dey talk through nostrils, lie lie! dat one na lie you be black african nigerian ::). I know say dis kondi-shon wey bring dis-koshon no bi sontin man pikin go fit worry about but di tin bi say na us dem yankees get liver to show us say we neva fit reach there and but is its just not right, its stupid, mannerless, despising your original trademark, puttin yourself in shame and becoming a laughing stock as David was saying, to top it all up your nasty behaviour and attitude is not wanted in our country. I say it as it is: My people who no gree wit thing I talk Eya?[/b]
Okay this is the real deal. kun san hausawa sunce "zama da madaukin kanwa shi ke kawo farin kai". I don't blame people if they really try hard to be somebody that they aren't, it's not their fault. Remember some of this people only see what life can offer in this countries. well when I first read this thread I felt like Ummita was talking about me. so I called a friend in Alabama and read to her the message. Ummita you might right, but I believe sometimes people do things without realizing they have done it.I know some people who went to kano (place where they haven't been for like 5 years). let me tell you that was a journey nobody will ever forget. people look at the way they talk, the way they eat, the they do almost everything. I think people keeps their heads up to see "things" like that, something unusal.
Inye, su Gimbiya masu qawa a Alabama. ;D
Well ppl it's not suprising just cos those so-called yanks behave when they come home. They even act the same way when they see you abroad. For example when you see a nigerian at Saudi, they want to talk to you but first they want to impress you by giving an idea of where they are coming from US or UK (as if i care, as long as i did wat i was there to do). They make fake accent, phoeney/slangs or they start unnecessary conversation just to inform you that "hello am from abroad" :-/
After a long dawaf: I was sitting with my girls deciding what to eat this fido-dido (guy) came with his peeps, they wanted us to notice him, ya wani fara buga taranci (a'a mu jahilai ::)), he was sayin men saudi is hot men! I cant stand the heat men! I need a chill drink men! You was asking the waiter "yo! you collect Dallaz $ cus I ain got riyals"
They just want attention these yankenese!::)

Am 100% sure dat u know dat there are thousand of Nijan's in abroad and therefore it doesnt make u ONLY person livin in yankee koh? Many Yoruba, Igbo,Hausa,Fulanis,Tiv, etc r based overseas! Am talkin about nigerains in general and those that front!!! Now sista call ur freind in Alabama & tell her "ummita was not referin 2 me". Suspiciousness is not good or is there something we shud know(she laffs)...Ko dei kema kina yinei? ;), u know! guilty mind dey work miracles (lol).

This is a news to me!! perharps because I sometimes behave like the old fashion. But do not be suprised if I say to you I have never met those Yankee ppl you are talking bout.
When we were kids, there was this neighbour of ours, her brother was having a friend who was living abroad. The friend sent for her brother to get him a wife. And that day, she came back from "TALLA" with her slippers on hands, and she was told that she would soon be moved to Britain for marriage to Salihu who she already knew. She protested but later was convinced. All arrangement was made within 5 months and she moved.
Now she is there for almost 15 solid years. So everybody can be abroad.
Some weeks back I was with my Mentor and some Germans came to visit us. We took them to a village near by, prefered Dankali, Danwake and Zogale for them as lunch. They loved it and picked some to go back to Germany with. They were happy and we were happy too. At least no matter how poor and African we are, we have some beautiful things to show to the world. ?
I boarded a city bus the other day and there was one young man in a very smart carriage. All thru' our journey in the bus the young man was keeping his hankie to his nose. I was wondering why must he make others feel like they are smelling? Why must he make others feel uncomfortable?
I kept asking ma self before I concluded that it was a kind of anti social behaviour. Perharps my young friend is not civilised enough to know that life means to Yassiruuu wala tu'assirruuu, meaning: Make life easy to ppl around you, do not make it difficult.
This atleast by Prophet of Islam

May be they should be, but you got to have something to be proud of
IF YOU ARE IN ROME DO LIKE THE ROMANS
Trully, I came back to this topic to read comments because from the little observations it seems there are a lot of people living abroad here and I taught they might clarify why this negative attitude from abroaders to us domiciled back home.
Gimbiya I have to say I do not agree with your opinion. What are you trying to say, what do you mean they cant help it? Kina nufin as you said you are in Alabama, are you trying to tell me that you are doing exactly as they do because you cant help it? You don?t blame them as how? How you sayin they have the green light to say to us F***k you, to look down on us ko dai su yi mana kaudi da kakkaba, iyayi da rashin kunya, su kyankyamemu? Like I said living abroad doesn?t mean total madness.
Gimbiya I would like you to compare these two stories for me. They are real for I am a witness.
I won?t lie that indeed we may find a lot of Nigerians without this kind of behaviour. I have a friend who was working in Spain. He came back from Nigeria, and people were very surprised he ate from the same plate I ate he ate TUWO MIYAN KARKASHI and this man has been away from Nigeria for 25yrs.
There was a girl who was studying in Dubai. She came for holiday and she came to see my grand mother, my mother offered her clean, fresh, cold water but you wont believe what she said to my grand mother. Don Allah I would rather prefare if you can give me Swan Water. that. Just imagine, iyashegen har da tsofaffi akema.
For example if you pick a girl from abroad open suratul Aha or fatiha ask her to recite allah ya sa ko bisimillah zata iya tadawa balle Alif lamra! Amman if you ask her for a song she can recite and write the whole lyrics in 5 seconds.
Like Mallamr Waziri was saying they behave like we disgust them. Yes I really want to know what is wrong with these people going abroad and coming back with all sort of anti-social behaviour.

No I do not live in Alabama, I was just making comparisons. and I believe you living abroad doesn't mean people should take over thier heads. First of all the people who are doing yaga kwalaba ba mai are those richy richy daddys girls and boys, so in a way it started fron naija before they go abroad. And again even in naija people tends to pick up the environment that they are in. for example look at the hausa kids that are raised in Lagos they are totally different with us Kano kids. another one is even betwwen same clans there're differences, for example somebody might be from sokoto but when they raised their child in Kano or Kaduna they won't have the sokoto accent will they? all I know is that yah some might act like going abroad is like going to heaven to them but that's a little percentage as we call them "The Choosen Few"

Okay...I really think it depends on the
person's personality and upbringing...Yeah it doesn't mean
total madness. It's not every1 dat stays outside naija dat
acts like dat...and 4 da F-word, many pple in Naija use dat.
Not only D yankees or janded ones.
It's been on 4 a while..
I think it's really rude :P but unfortunately, it's b~coming a
figure of speech...(Allah ya Shirya)

Don't dey also listen to music in Naija?
Why did U say a girl? how about da boyz?
Again, I think it depends on da person. Sumtimes, these
"abroadians" R even more interested in Qur'an dan sum pple
at home. "Charity begins at home", rite? If da person waz
brought up well in Naija. Then it'll reflect on da kid.
But I know a lotta pple dat stay abroad and still keep their

U are right gurl, training begins from home.
People doing somethings like this were originally
not well trained in their homes (back home NIGERIA)
most of them are not well trained to maintain their
personality & dignity.

The main the main: instead phoeney takes over broken english & ur original mothers tongue. Accent!
Some Hausa folks 4 instance, can put on a front! big time, & I also mean Nigerians in general.

U d listener will keep on wonderin what that foreign accent faker is yannin about! Omo jare speak clearly! On d contrary, I can understand if you are in the midst of unscrupulous people but then again, why be there in the same place when "Birds of the same feathers flock together"?
I don't see any problem wit speakin slangs, cause
everyone staying abroad his language or turanci
will dafenately change! due to mix up with white ppl.
Even those that don't speak it will learn how to from
other fellow ppl that do!

My freinds: Funmi, Omotola and Kehinde were studyin in US, dey came bck home afta 6yrs......dat thick lagos broken accent mix wit a lil flow of yoruba accent plus d americanised accent were all janded in one i cud tell na forgery slangs! Moreso, Omotola changed her name to Shakwana! I asked her "wat happened 2 d name her father gave her" she said nah shakwana is juss a black american name!!! u seeeeee!
Surely, we have no problem wit ppl who speak slangs......bt let it cum naturale!!!! Do nt force it thru ur throat up ur nose!!!
Mixin up wit white ppl will nt change ur english afta being wit dem juss 4 a couple of yrs!!.......some of dem yankee nijans all I can say is dat its part of envy dat forces their accent 2 change, & dey soooo subconcious. Why cnt dey stick 2 their own tone of english? Why muss dey change it 2 slangs?! Dats why I see if a fellow white man cums 2 Nigeria he swopes in full force 2 speak broken Hingrish!.
why is it if a foreigner comes to 9ja their accent doesnt change wit immediate effect & it still wudnt change afta spendin 3-8yrs in nigerian!! However, if a nigerian fly overseas 2day, ?accent changes wit immediate effect......kai my ppl (she laffs) dey r juss grand!!!! (http://www.jazzynigerians.com/ib_html/non-cgi/emoticons/emthup.gif)
Am nt sayin ppl shudnt speak slangs, bt c'mon dey put up bring fronts in d magana itself.
@ Gimbiya minkam apology accepted. howeva I was only jokin, thou am throwin a question bck @ u. Wat do u mean by : ?
QuoteMay be they should be, but you got to have something to be proud of
so d mere fact dat I happen 2 b a Nigerian isnt it sumthin dat I can hold up high my head, stick my nose in d air & b proud of?(http://www.jazzynigerians.com/ib_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif)[/color]

Gimbiya, i am gonna tell u again ban falasa kai na ba. i'm jst being real sincere wid u. cus u gatta have a reason 4 all this jealousy u r portrayin. anyways i also think u have guts thou that contradicts ma believe but ma reason 4 this is dat u mite be true. reason also y i'm angry is cus u all r generalisin the issue. ::) people r different n i kno alot of people who skool abroad n dont act the way u r sayin. why diss the whole bunch. if u wanna diss peeps diss the ones that do it. moreover if u stay in a place 4 a long tyme its natural u have to adapt some of theoir culture or ways of coversin. when u converse wid them daily u tend to talk like them cus they are the majority n its called adaptation. so pls stop generalisin cus not all of us have girman kai. ;)

I just ran across this thread and I think it fit right here....
I think the speaking fone part is just that. An attempt to sound comprehensible. If you can't beat them, shebi you go join them shey?. The whole time you are trying to talk, they are staring at you like a deer caught in headlights. As if you're speaking Russian or something. Some of them keep saying "what?, excuse me? pardon"? All of that make person tire so you just try to speak like them so at least they can understand you. They are the majority here and you are in their country, you gotta learn to adapt somehow. If you are in Nigeria and some oyinbo person come, they have to try and adapt to your language too.
Believe it or not, I have also heard of cases where people were turned down for jobs because they were not "fluent" enough. It's just like speaking ebonics. This oyinbo people self.
In addition, if you've lived abroad for a few years, you can't help but pick up on the accent. When everyone around you speak in a certain way, you will most likely pick up on it, consciously or subconsciously. If you are Ibo but you grew up in Kano, you will eventually find yourself speaking hausa.
hi everyone ive been viewin this topic but never reply i just decide to reply today.............. peeps that skool yanke, jand or wherever abroad are not all thesame and belive practice begins at home so what ever yu do outside yu see......... yu most have pratice it at home........ wallahi ive meet so many ohter nigerians skoolin abroad who are very religious and ive meet those that sai dai gyaran Allah but ai what ever is done yanke is done in nigerian also...........ok i know this might not be of this topic but naji so many mutane sayin those abroad are so bad they are so free they do what ever they like belive me what ever they do is done even in nigeria as well. example some parent dont like they kids skoolin abroad wai coz they think they cant watch them 247 and they will do whatever they want and end up allowin them go to ABU, BUK or gwags ok will they be with them in the uni nope........... so not only abroad every where people can be what they want to be . ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

VERY TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, IT TAKES THEM MORE THAN 8YRS TO ADOPT & DEVELOP NIGERIAN SOUND OF ENGLISH, ANOTHER TWO YEARS TO LEARN BROKEN ENGRISH. I ALSO WONDER WHY IT TAKES OUR OWN PEOPLE JUST A FEW DAYS OR A FEW HOURS FOR THEIR TONGUE TO CHANGE TO SLANGS :-/ HENIWE WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT SLANG NA FRONTIN!!! OYA THOSE THAT DO IT QUIT IT, IT AINT YOUR STYLE!
EMMMMM OH GEL ALYEESHA,
FROM HADYZAH TO ALYEESHA ;), WONDERS SHALL NEVER END.
What is it about Yankees n Abroadians? U Zis kanoonliners r 2 interogatory....u guys r making it sound as ip going abroad is a sin! I fersonally habe a sfecial dislyk por feofle who pronts....but abroadians got 2 b understood...zey habe adafted 2 ze way op ze Eurofeans... it's normal about adapting a language zat is sfoken in an area whereby ur own language is not sfoken....damma basu ma manta naija languages din ba.
And talking about ?ze isue op whites not adapting 2 our languages intime is b'cos ze didnt study our language as zeir lingua-pranca but we studyied zeirs since we were "yan tamilo's"...so u c...it wil b easy por us 2 adapt.
I know zat zeir zose guys who go abroad just 1ce n not por a long tym, n come back began 2 pront lyk say zeir papa na frime minister por dem clinton dem. But ip u were in zeir shoes u ?will do tha same ...fut zat in ur Brains! AM out!
salam salam salam...
errr people...have u eva considered that SOME of the people r really like that furreal? what do u say or think about say for example - someone who lived 17 years of his life abroad?and still living out....and in the interval say he lived in nija for like 4 years....so do u still think he is putting on a show?????
i know u get some people off the hook....like i know this gurl from kano...neva been to even Chad. but she acts more WHITE than melissa joane hart! when i go to nija for holidays....i see these people and i crack up. theve neva been anywhere but they try to put up some ish.....
i hate fake people......pisses me off...

Why are you speaking Yoruba again? I thought this was about yanks? lets get serious. many pple abroad are not like that. it's just a few bad eggs

Nima dai bari na tofa nawa albarkacin. Duk da dai wani turanci bana fahimta manufarta. I will not say it is not happening and I will not say it is rampant. Like Galadanci, it is like an urban area. We have people trooping into that area. I was walking down to escort a freind who came to visit me, there was a gentleman in a nice car looking all elegant who parked around a curb. As usual everyone likes to show off their GSM. he was talking about going to the States abu kaza dai shiyayi kaza, immediately he spotted us just few paces behind him aka fara mana kwalisa yana wani cewa shi kuda sun isheshi. Ina dalili dai? :roll: Abun nasu sai su masu iyawa, mudai yan kallo ne

hi everyone. this is interesting. i agree that there are some people that put on fake accents but then there are also some people that have accents that are in-between local and foreign but are not necessarily fake. to us they might sound fake but i sincerely believe that if you live abroad for a few years the way u pronounce some words can change and you may not even be aware of it. Anyway, to tell you the truth the way some nigerians slaughter the english language they should not be allowed to open their mouths, for goodness sake when obasanjo speaks on CNN they have to put subtitles!!!!!!!!!! shame
Quote from: "straightalkin" for goodness sake when obasanjo speaks on CNN they have to put subtitles!!!!!!!!!! shame
WAYYO ALLAH CIKINA. HA HA HA HA HA.............YOU DONT MEAN IT??? SUBTITLES?? WHAT!!!!?
IF OBANSANJO SPEAKS ENGLISH, YOU BE THINKING WHAT IN LORDS NAME IS HE ON ABOUT? NOT TO MENTION HOW LONG HIS SPEECHES ARE.
BUT HONESTLY, YORUBA HAVE THICK ENGLISH ACCENT, HAUSA & IGBO THEIR ACCENT IS NOT AS THICK AS YORUBAS.........BECAUSE THEY PRONOUNCE EVERY SINGUL LE-T-T-ER. I MET THIS YORUBA DUDE WHO WENT TO YANKEE AND CAME BACK, VISITING MY BROTHER WE WATCHED DRAMA!!!. EVEN HIS PIGIN ENGLISH WAS IN SLANGS. HE GOES TO MY BROTHER "WERRIN DEY HAN" MEANING WETIN DEY HAPPUN.........

this is such a shame,so you ppl think that nig who live abroad are stuck up and lack manners,well to tell you the truth i do not entirely disaggree with you but rather i would like to point out to you that generalisation is often adopted by the narrow minded.yes alot of ppl who live abroad do act that way,but don't you think that ppl who live in nigeria also do have their own set of flaws.Go to our universities,our wedding ceremoniies or better yet check out our streets and see how some people behave and portray themselves in such unislamic manners and dress codes.besides if you guys feel that bad about ppl living abroad why don't you tell them to their faces rather than bashing them online,don't you think thats a little cowardly

errrr, first of all u moss welkom 2 dis forum cheesecake.
Secondly, I am among those who indulged in dis discussion and wud like 2 say a few......(Can I?) Ok Thanks! I very well believe u r very intelligent and u can clearly differenciate between SOME & ALL......& if u hav clearly read thru, NONE of us said ALLLLLLLLLLL nija's abroadians behave in such a manner. Moreso, dis thread is based on every onces opinion, u can very well agreeeee 2 disagreeeee, individual opinions & u r very well 2 say ur mind of which u've done so, which I also did agree 2 disagree wit you last sentence. Shud note, that comin 2 discuss issues openly is not COWARDICE and if u ask me d opposite of COWARDICE I'd say or cud term it as BOLDNESS!! (she laffs). Furthermore, wen we tlk bout people & behaviour is not cowardice or bashin dem behind dey bck online, besides we did not specifically point our fingas on one or all nigerians abroad, we said SOME. U tell me, how many ppl tlk bout Obasanjo: how some hate him, badmouthed him & some said if perfect is everything den he is! How many ppl spoke of Saddam online, Bush Tony, Bin-Lad, even afta he'z gone Abacha is still being spoken of ONLINEEE in million websites 2 even limit things KANOOLINE in particular has spoken of dese political leaders quadrillion tyms does it mean dey cowards or MOST face them in their faces & tell dem so :? Check this: Sociologist study human behaviour, conduct research on eg: juveniles & put out their reports ONLINEEE!....we speak of all theseeeeeeeee and its not at all cowardice Everyone has a 2 right freedom of speech, freedom 2 say ur mind & freedom 2 know, 2 undastand 2 oppose & dispose. We dnt feel bad bout ppl leavin abroaddddddddd. Besides dis topic aint no big deal. Its juss a thread dat u can pose ur opinion but I seriously dnt think its cowardness. Anywayz, seemz u feel bad bout it.....my dear we apologise but d topic is a pieace of cake....in fact its a pieace of cheesecake! :wink:
Once more u welkom
Shall we proceeddddddddddddd?..........................................

You got the whole thing wrong cheesecake......read thru the posts again...
Hiss one thousand tyms!
when so so person was in London...when my friend in Alabama get back home....my cousin from Japan...mts (hiss).
Everybody is desperately trying to show that he was once abroad..or is still there or they know someone abroad..wai su masu abokai yan yankee (yanki) imma yan tsumma ne! who cares!
are you not all guilty of what Ummi said in the beginning..SHE TOO MAY BE GUILTY OF THE SAME OFFENCE!
I dont see any offence when someone is trying to speak a language the way the first speakers are. if someone is speaking what you call slang, instead of you to admire his guts you are here hating him..most likely outta jealousy!
una no get work! :!: playa hataz!
hiss..hiss gain and again hiss...Allah wadan naka ya lalace, rakumin dawa yaga na gida!
hey, as gogannaka noted that i got it all wrong,well i don't think i did,infact i was right on point and that was the issue.And as ummita noted that she was all about ' free speech' ,well every body is,the fact that i said to tell them to their faces i meant at the exact time an abroadian does something wrong point out to him that that's not right, for instance when an abroadian utters the 'f' word ,'f' him back,when they talk yankee tell them this ain't Newyork and when they dress like trash get them a hijab and demand that they cover up or you'll get the hisbah guy,pretty scary huh.
