  1. Edo (Bini): Ose bungbe, enoguhen ku ravan ebiebi re. Iyan fie gbe iyan ware, baba nure miamia ó okuo no wegbe. Nari na muagbe nu do ro, okuo no roregbe o mihefo.

    English Translation: Friends are too much, they play with you during the day; when it is dark they change themselves. God, don't forget, this is a strong war. Be ready to fight the war; within myself, it has not finished.

  2. Have you ever wondered why most Nigerians can't speak correct English despite being a former British colony? It is simple. Before the British came, Nigerians already had their own native languages (e.g., Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Bini). When English was introduced, it was mainly used in schools and offices—not at the market, within families, or with neighbors and friends. While many Nigerians can write English perfectly, they often prefer or default to other linguistic layers in daily conversation.

    The everyday Nigerian linguistic pattern looks like this:

    Mother tongue at home.

    Pidgin English with friends.

    Standard English in school, work, and offices.

  4. Posting about BINI, a pop group from the Philippines, and clicking on the tag #TurkishCelebrities reminded me of my ignorance of vast areas of the world and its diverse peoples.

    I try my best not to be a blinkered Anglo, whilst also recognizing that I can never hope to have much more than a fragmentary and superficial understanding of the histories of most of the planet's inhabitants. For deeper insights, I am dependent on experts and informants with firsthand knowledge and experience.

    I hope it doesn't sound too smug if I say that at least I am aware of my ignorance.

    What frightens me is that the most powerful man on earth is not only ignorant, but also unaware of the depth of his ignorance and, insofar as he is aware of his ignorance, resistant to remedying that ignorance to any degree by careful reading of briefings, thoughtful discussion with experts, or - can you imagine it? -- opening a book.

    Ultimately, my ignorance is of little consequence one way or the other. His ignorance could, quite literally, be the end of the world.

    I've seen some of the publicity boosting BINI, but I'd like to know more about their popularity in the Philippines and the place of P-pop in Filipino culture.

    Is Kpop as popular now in the Philippines as it has been in the past? Or is Kpop now beginning to be eclipsed in popularity by Filipino idol pop?

    Is P-pop on the verge of a global breakthrough?
