REPORTED CASES - Onyeji Nnaji

      BACK TO SCHOOL A reported case simply refers to a reported speech. This is also called indirect speech as against the opposite concept, the direct speech. A reported case is the speech that lacks the trace of the original speaker’s involvement in the action of the verb used in the expression. This situation was originally introduced to the English grammar to identify the circumstances surrounding the possible areas where the fundamental structure of grammar (S.V.O.) is altered, yet the expression is considered grammatical.  Example: - Daddy said, “I will buy a new car by next week” (direct). - Daddy said that he will buy a new car by next week (indirect). Now, the main difference found in the sentences above is that: - The former makes use of first person pronouns, while the latter takes the third person pronouns (he, she, it, they etc.). - The former makes use of quotation marks, while the latter does not. - The former uses a comma to introduce the exact

ZIMBABWE, HISTORY OF ORIGIN

                                                  Great Zimbabwe Great Zimbabwe is a city that in time past had created certain impart on the long lasted civilization which Africa had experienced in the past. Proving the certainty of an age-long civilization is the debris left along the parts that once bore great walls. From the picture above, it is evident that some parts of the walls still stand to prove its solidity. It is undisputable, from feasibility study of this seeming indestructible structure, that monuments different from pyramids could last as long as their purposes could contain. Of course, without these wreckages there would be no ancient Zimbabwe other than ferry tells of concocted history. The walls stand memorably beyond the claim of storytellers. The significance of these walls do not only speak of the civilization of that African population, they also speak of the uniqueness of the people who built the walls; their predominant occupation and the circumstance

            THE KIKUYI OF KENYA The Kikuyu of Kenya is another larger sect of the families, far East Africa. The history of the Kikuyu Bantus is complicating as many storytellers seem to fight for the interest of their clans. On the contrary, the suggestion that Kikuyu population were the offspring of one man, Gikuyu was the most suspicious information that did not sink down with real historical supposition. Gikuyu and Kikuyu are two different ethnic groups with different origin entirely. How Kikuyu, a Bantu settlement could come from Gikuyu is not only probable, but fallacious.  What is eminent is the fact that the tribe that holds the traditional head of the Kikuyu Bantu is the Abaluya. According to Oral sources, Gideon Were, John Osogo, Daniel Wako, among others, “the clans in Abaluya are over twenty”. Significant enough, they all possess the denoting prefix Aba in their names. They are Abanyole, Abetakho, Abesukha, Abatsotso, Abanyala, Abakabras, Abatachoni, Abamarama,

Copied from the book, Reality as Myths by Onyeji Nnaji T he world of the Bantu travellers shows the walls of the migration that recorded the highest population among the African settlement. Originating from the largest population among the four races that settled in the east before time, all Bantu travellers were pygmies; for that was the nature of the Umudiala, the generation that gave birth to them.  The Wikipedia map for Bantu migrations shown below  will be of help towards digesting our descriptions of the Bantu people. Bantu migration was rated the third earliest migration of the Negro race from the east. In this regard, all their movement had involved great population of people compared to the number of people involved in the two earlier populations that gave birth to Ethiopia, Nubia and Egypt: the Walker Traveller, and the Race of Anu. Bantu population as we have identified in the third chapter above outweighs the rest of the population of the ancient fathers
