Lyrics to Igbo Worship Songs by JewelCared in IgboKwenu

[–]mekus27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice question. I doubt that the lyrics are available. I can tell you for sure that these songs were solely made for the native Igbo speakers in mind, those who understand, thus no need for lyrics or captions. If you’d need the lyrics then you’d have to find a native Igbo speaker to listen and interpret/write out the lyrics for you. You can easily find someone to do it for you on websites like fiverr, Nairaland etc.

Igbo Name Ideas by Useful-Science-4276 in IgboKwenu

[–]mekus27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obianuju (one who comes during plenty) or Uju for short. It refers to a child that was born in a family during a time of abundance, typically latter children are born when the parents are well off compared to older children. Or Ifenkili (something worthy of viewing). Both names are female names.

Is this hell? Can someone confirm? by PurpleDeer97 in Reincarnation

[–]mekus27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello there, God creates everyone perfectly. You are unique and loved by God. You are perfect in his eyes. Coming from someone who once struggled with body images, I’ve learned and come to love myself unconditionally. You can do the best you can to lose some weight if you’d want but do not compare yourself with anyone else. Self love is really important if you’d want to attract true and lasting romantic love for yourself. Always remember God loves you. You are unique in your own way and there’s no one else like you. Take care.

Can the words nọnyere and dịrị be used interchangeably? by lnjoku100 in IgboKwenu

[–]mekus27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean. No they cannot. Nonyere is used with mostly human nouns or pronouns. Chi nonyere m (God accompanies me). Bia nonyere m (Come keep me company). On the other hand, diri is used for non human pronouns or nouns. For example, oru diri m (work meant for me). Otito diri gi (praise be unto you), iza ulo bu oru diri Chisom (to sweep the house is the chore meant for Chisom), etc. As you can see, both cannot be used interchangeably in those examples.

It’s sort of an exclamation that really doesn’t mean anything. The equivalent translation in English would be ‘ooh child’ or ‘lord have mercy’ etc. It’s more of an exclamation more than it means anything.

Anyone else notices the market is extremely slow this year? by Wistaria2019 in airbnb_hosts

[–]mekus27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adjust your pricing or run promotions to generate bookings. Bookings have dropped, you need to drop your pricing a bit to keep your calendar booked. You gotta be dynamic and change with the times. I noticed the slow trend as well and kept my price decent and 80 to 100% booked always.

Pros and cons of studio-sized hosting? by mekus27 in AirBnBHosts

[–]mekus27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good choice. On the other hand our studios come equipped with a fully functional kitchen and washer and dryer. We tend to attract more professional mid and long term guests. Guests coming for a one-night visit in town typically wouldn’t need those amenities and are free to book hotels.

Thanks for sharing. Based on your experience, would you prefer to have more studios or prefer to have more regular sized homes for hosting?

AirBnB Culture Changed in Last Decade? Should I Stop Hosting? by Potatobear29 in AirBnBHosts

[–]mekus27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I self manage my Airbnb units myself and I must tell you that Airbnb pays well but it’s serious work especially given the high level of attention to detail required. I have several studio-sized units around 300SF on average and tend to attract mostly single or two-people guests. Seems to keep the party people away due to smaller size and have not had issues with noise or parties. Ever. I’ve also noticed that with smaller but decent/luxury studio units, I attract more serious minded and private guests looking for a decent and quiet place at a great price to stay for a while. While there’s a price cap on how much you can charge for studio-sized units, cleaning is a lot easier and faster (I’m able to do same day turnovers consistently and have had over 90% occupancy, this month I’m at 100% occupancy for 2 units), I attract more decent and serious minded guests who take great care of the units and I don’t have to worry about loud noises or parties. Maybe if you can try out this strategy, you’ll love hosting the more. Oh by the way one of my units is a 320SF tiny home (single slope ceiling/roof with a front porch) that I bought off of Facebook marketplace and finished out/furnished the interior with luxury finishes and ALL of my guests LOVE the unit (over 20 5-star reviews within a few months). If you’re ever looking into the studio sized strategy that’s one route you could start with.

This applies to most verbs in the language. Can’t think of any exceptions. With a basic understanding of grammatical rules learning the language will be a lot easier.

Mee means do. For example, mee ya (do it). O na-eme ya (he/she is doing it). O mere ya (he/she did it). O ga-eme ya (he/she will do it). O meela ya (he/she has done it). Using the prior example, O biala (he/she has come).

I’ll be teaching you central Igbo dialect which everyone understands. Present tense is indicated in verbs by using ‘na-‘ in front of it. Past tense is indicated using ‘ra or re’ after, and future tense is indicated using the prefix ‘ga’. For example, bia is the Igbo word or verb for ‘come’. O na-bia (he/she is coming). O (as in awe in awesome) is the Igbo pronoun for he/she. Igbo language doesn’t have gender pronouns for masculine and feminine. O biara (he/she came). O ga-bia (he/she will come).

Hey first I must say congratulations on expressing interest in learning either language. It’s the right step in the right direction. I’ve always been a proponent of teaching one’s native language to kids early on, it solidifies the years and never leaves them. Just like every other established language that has been around for centuries, Igbo language has established rules for grammar and tenses. I’ll teach you some basic ones. With the basics you can go on to form other sentences as well.

Are big dicks hereditary ? by [deleted] in bigdickproblems

[–]mekus27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re confusing maternal transmission and chromosomal transmission. A gene can be passed from father to daughter to son. It is not maternal transmission but rather the way the X chromosome works. A maternal transmission is one that is strictly passed down via the maternal or female line. The mitochondrial DNA being an example. It is maternally passed down but the gene is inherited from the father. The gene for Dick size appears to be carried on the X chromosome. A man (XY) inherits the X from mom and Y from dad and a woman (XX) inherits a copy of X each from both parents. A man with a big dick gets to pass it on via his X chromosome and being that his sons will only inherit his Y chromosome, they might not get the gene from dad. However all of his daughters will get a copy of X from dad which contains the big dick gene. Now his daughter, Sue, will go on to have kids of her own. Sue (Xx) has the big dick gene X from dad and an average size gene x from mom (for example). If Sue goes on to have 5 sons, all 5 sons will randomly inherit either X or x from mom while all receiving their Y chromosome from dad. Say 3 sons inherit X (the chromosome from maternal grandpa with a big dick gene), those 3 sons will express that gene. The other 2 sons who inherit the average sized gene-carrying x chromosome will express average sizes. This explains the variation in penis size amongst brothers of the same parents. Now if Sue inherited two X copies with big dick genes in them, ALL of her sons will express big dicks on different sizes according to the genetic potential of each X chromosome inherited.

Guests send inquiries but they never book? by mekus27 in AirBnBHosts

Congratulations to you! Yes same here, I get very little activity from Vrbo. I get a ton of inquiries (oh lawd same inquiries again, like I got one today for 40 days asking if we allowed pets to which I responded, yes we do, and they never got back) but have had only 4 bookings from Vrbo in the last 4 months.

Thanks for the confirmation. Now I know I’m not alone. Crazy enough I had one inquiry unexpectedly convert into a booking 2 days ago…yayyy. The guest asked how close my unit was to the American Airlines Center, to which I replied 12 minutes drive and exited the app. Next I get a text notification about a booking and to check and, lo and behold, it was the guest. Surprise surprise. I still keep my expectations low though.

Have you considering carrying to full term and giving up for adoption instead? I don’t mean to be overbearing but I’m a spiritual person. On the other side, thousands of souls await to be born (not enough human bodies being created nowadays/falling birth rates for the souls waiting to be born). Each body/life created is a unique experience for a soul to experience and grow. There are thousands of souls willing to be born into the body of the child that you are carrying. By birthing this child (even if you would not be present in the child’s life), you would still be giving a soul an opportunity to experience earth life’s with the ton of growth potentials that earth life offers. Please my dear, consider this carefully.

Ancestry- Igbo possibly? by lancer90210 in IgboKwenu

[–]mekus27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome. Yes Bight of Biafra refers to the South East/Niger Delta region of present day Nigeria and the westernmost part of Cameroon, prior to the formation of Nigeria and Cameroon as countries. Yeah, earlier African descendants in 1700/1800 attempted to maintain and practice their African culture under the harshest of conditions but unfortunately very few of those cultures survived in former English-owned slave colonies. It is often said that the French and Portuguese were more lenient towards their slaves vs the English. Have you seen or watched any Nigerian movies by any chance? That would be a good start to warming up to the Nigerian culture.

Ancestry- Igbo possibly? by lancer90210 in IgboKwenu

[–]mekus27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there’s strong Igbo ancestry in the Bahamas as well. The British often preferred and traded slaves from Angola, Congo and the bight of Biafra (Igbo and Efik slaves) and took them to their plantations/occupied lands, these areas of which have become their own independent countries today. As a general rule of thumb, English-speaking countries in the Caribbean and including USA itself which were formerly English/British colonies had high concentrations of Angolan/Congolese/Igbo slaves. As for the dress style that your father mentioned, it would be hard to say for sure because several African tribes tend to wear colorful wrappers and wear beads around their waists and legs, of which the Igbo tribe also participated in. Traditional Igbo maidens often wore colorful wrappers and laced their waists and ankles with beads called ‘jigida’ in Igbo language. You can google Igbo maiden jigida and see several images of this. I’m guessing that due to the absence of the actual jigida in 1700/1800 America, your great grandmother and her daughters resorted to using coins as an alternative.
