all you need do is look up and you will see it
the world is turning to the nation of your origin young man

somedays ago
almighty micro soft launched a service
pack for it's windows in the three major languages of Nigeria

12:58amAbidemi
chams technologies an indegenous naija based technology company is about phasin out the worlds popular ATM technology
replacing it with a biometrics enabled chams-switch

12:59amSAM
I SEE

1:00amAbidemi
the world seeks the brain of Nigerians

with over 40000 Nigerian doctors in the usa
and profesionals with the greenest blood running in their veins.. naija is out to take it over and na God

from recent statistics during my reSearch for the
world bank essay thing i did this year

i found out that if the president of the USA should fall sick today and needs any form of operation that needs 9 surgeons, 3 of them will be Nigerians
it's a fact that can no long be denied
i read oracle magazine and in every issue the real people behind the dbase giants are Nigerians and not just Nigerians
yoruba's
talk abot the things of God
the second largest pentecostal ministry in the USA is pastored by a nigeerian
the largest in the UK is led by a Naija man
and even in far ukraine
God leads His largest ministry in the trust of a Nigerian
i will not be suprised if tmrw the geneology of Obama is traced back to a Nigerian

1:10amAbidemi
someday you will know why Yoruba is now being studied in universities in the
USA and UK
its somethin am pround of bcos it is the only language that as been discovered to have a statiscal..and mathematica base

1:14amSAM
isit?


1:18amAbidemi
sure it is the only language in the world with such capabilities
and odu ifa is a whole insitution of it own while it is just a part of the natural life of the yoruba's.

1:21amAbidemi
counting in yoruba reequires back tracking, addition and subtraction
multiplication and division and all of this are embedded in the language and comes naturally with it
100 is not 100, it is a multiple of something and it is thus represented in that manner in the yoruba language
one hundred is called ogorun...
meaning ogun marun
ogun is 20 while arun is 5

1:25amAbidemi
and 5 twenties will naturaly give us a hundred
this is one of the reason are brain is more developed

1:28amSAM
DATS INTERESTING
MA MUM NEVA TLD ME DAT

1:28amAbidemi
we task it from the basics..and this mathematical manipulations starts from no 15. arundinlogun meaning 20 minus 5

1:30amAbidemi

that's very possible


my mum never did as well

i found out because my brain developed in an environment where it is tasked daily and allowed to reason and deduce solutions to situations surrounding it.

1:33amSAM
WELL ENGLISH IS PRETTY SIMPLE SO
DEM TINGS DNT REQUIRE DEDUCING SOLUTIONS
UNLESS UR DOIN QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

1:35amAbidemi
thats the beauty of the nature u've got..all the quadratic equations of nature becomes a natural part of life and you experience and apply them effortlessly

English language is very shallow language

and even the crown knows that, although they pride it cos it's the only one they've got

ekabo in yoruba means welcome

but th english language has no logical or right word for eku-ile

1:51amAbidemi
just be glad you are Nigerian Ayomide Adegunle

there is noting like it.


HE NEVER KNEW ABOUT IS RICH HERITAGE BECAUSE HIS PARENTS NEVER TOLD HIM..TELL SOMEONE ABOUT THEIR RICH, UNEQUALLED HERITAGE TODAY AND YOU WILL GLAD YOU DID
(I felt happy doing this, now i know why the heavens rejoice when a single lost soul is saved)
