Seun & MODs,

Moving this thread to culture section is unacceptable. Many Yoruba and friends of Yoruba both home and in the diaspora are learning here and there is no reason to put this thread in an unpopular section.

Kindly reverse your decision.

I've spent more time looking at this thread. It truly started out as a political thread, but then people decided to change it into a thread for all things Yoruba, thus turning it into something that rationally belongs to the culture section. Since people feel strongly about having this thread in the Politics section, I thing the best thing we can do is to refocus it on the original purpose.

My humble proposal is to rename this thread as "Yoruba Political News Thread", move it back to the politics section, and put it on the home page. What do you think?

Also we will offer amnesty to most of those who broke rule 2 and rule 20 over the moving of this thread, but further violations will not be tolerated. I take responsibility for the politics section situation since I have not said anything to the moderators.

[size=16pt]Ogun development needs support of all – Commissioner[/size]

The Ogun State Policies and programmes initiated by Senator Ibikunle Amosun-led administration cannot be shouldered alone by the Government, hence the need for corporate organisations, associations and personalities in the State to contribute their quota towards actualizing the goals and objectives.

The State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Chief Adedayo Adeneye stated this while receiving members of Ogun Indigenes Entertainment Professional Forum who paid him a courtesy call in his office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

Adeneye, in a statement signed by his Press Officer, Mr Temitayo Taylor, said Government had expended so much in rebuilding some of the comatose sectors in the State especially in its five cardinal programmes since assumption of office on May 29, 2011, adding that the goals and aspirations of the Government can be fully actualized if all and sundry contribute their quota toward moving the State to greater height.

“We are all a living witness of the development the State has recorded so far in Education, Health, Agricultural sectors, Infrastructure, Security, Housing and Employment Generation but a lot still need to be done and that is why the support and gesture of well-meaning individuals, groups and associations is required so as to collectively make Ogun State an envy of all.” He said.

The Commissioner however appreciated the team’s congratulatory visit while counting on their support in the discharge at his duties as Commissioner for Information and Strategy.

Earlier in his remarks, the Secretary, Ogun Indigenes Entertainment Professionals Forum, Mr. Kehinde Soaga congratulated the Commissioner on his appointment and by extension an ambassador of the forum.

“We are using this medium do express our intention to cooperate with the State Government just as we have been doing before now” Soaga said.

Also speaking, the Governor, Federation Independent Broadcaster Association of Nigeria (FIBAN) Mr. Akinyemi Olatoye assured the Commissioner of his team willingness to support the State Government programmes and policies.

Stuntingblack,Shymm3x and Onreflection. There's so much happening in your state

The Commissioner's rallying call is one that must be honoured.
Thanks for drawing my attention to this post Aare.

I'm learning a lot here as well, so I'll be around this thread for a while.

Hopefully the group will pick up steam. Why not tell folks on here about it and maybe we have another playform to discuss Yoruba themed stuff?

Hope the week has been well sir.

You know the problem is that, it is now a "secret" group.
Our hands were tied when we made that move, but we felt we had reached a tipping point - that junction where quality begins to degrade.

In light of some of the disquiet now being expressed here, however, I may have to consider other options.

General Seun, have you ever visited Anambra and other SE threads? You need to go there and see what they discuss. It has always been everything Igbo. I have visited the threads, so I know what I am saying. You can visit the threads and see for yourself.

If those threads could stay in Politics Section for years, how come ours that is only 5-week old must be moved to Culture Section?

If you noticed, none of us ever bothered to open a complaint thread in Politics Section to call you out. We believed it's unnecessary. People have decided to say GOODNIGHT yesterday, your mods have been banning us and hiding names of Successful Yoruba's that we post. We have always repeated such post, we have been through a lot in the hands of your Igbo mods but we decided it's unnecessary to open a complaint thread.

Anyway, you are still the Conmmander-In-Chief. So, General Seun, whatever you wish is okay by us. We are at your mercy, if this thread is moved back to Politics Section, then we shall all abide by your rules and good to go.

If it remains in Culture Section, then we can say GOODNIGHT.

You are a Yoruba. You are supposed to be one of us. Everyone is surprised that we have to beg you to have mercy on us, your kinsmen.

It is well.

Thanks and Edumare Bless You.

MayorofLagos:


Hello Shymmex,
First, what took Bini to Lagos, what was their business there? Bini itself did not have domain on the coast, it was an hinterland seat of political power. Lagos was under constant invasion by Dahomey and at a point the Idejo chiefs sent to Alaafin for protection against the raids from Dahomey. The Aworis did not have a constituted army or navy force and were not warriors. They did not wage war against other territories and neither was a war waged against them, but their land was blessed with agricultural produce. Since Dahomey was in constant war and battles attacking neighbouring states or defending against them, hardly any time was spent by these people growing food, so they raided for food and produce.

The defense of Lagos was impractical for Oyo because their horses were part of the army force and victory against an enemy depended on their health and well being. The risk of loosing the horses to sickness increases the farther they marched South and to the coast. Oyo turned the Idejo Chiefs to Bini for help.

Binis fought on foot and on waters but not at sea since they were not a sea people. Lagos is on the sea. Bini needed a sea force. This is where Ilaje came in.



Agba L'etu.

Omode L'awo.

Agba O Ni Tan L'orile

Thanks for the Lecture Sir.

Everything to you guys is about igbo? Why this unhealthy obsession? Everyone of you except my bro shymexx. SMH. Are we in a competition? If we are, you know we are winning and you can't catch up so give your igbo obsession a rest.
This thread does not belong to the politics section. Atleast, this thread will now get 0 views from me. You either stay here to show you love your "yoruba commonwealth" or get banned. Shikena cool cool
You must be uneducated to even compare your Igbo tribe with the great Yoruba race.If you talk about competition,how would a race that is established worldwide compete with a struggling to be known tribe.If you can even make 1/50 of the achievements of the Yorubas then you can thank your stars.Yoruba had never been in your league since time immemorial...
Something could be wrong somewhere with Seun but we would not leave an Omoluabi and allow you to ruin him.Anywhere the thread is taken,God will always triumph...
Pls,aareonakakanfo,shymm3x,profshymmex...you are our main men,we cannot afford to miss you.
Remember that we are descendants of warriors,always winning,always winning by the power of the omnipresent,omnipotent,everpowerful GOD and SUPREME BEING.

Ogagun 9jacrip,

Sadly, that change is irreversible. It was made for a number of reasons which range from the amount of work moderators found themselves taking on to the quality of information being shared, once we exceeded a certain threshold. Bear in mind that we also no control over the algorithm which was advertising it to individuals with a questionable bias.

I have written to some of the folks on this thread about "a workaround", in the past, but there was insufficient traction at the time... wink

I'm going to tell you what I tell my friends, live and let live when it comes to religion.

Yes, you're right when it comes to religion it's about live and let live but when it comes to faith it's about living/depending on God's mind. Therefore, I do not speak about religion I speak about faith which is truly the substance of things hoped for. Remember, I didn't initiate the discussion of 'the bible is confuse' 'I doubt there is God' 'where is the location to heaven.....' you did and I was only responding to clear your mind.

I still offer myself to show you the way to heaven since I know you gprs can't show you. Shalom

Seun, we have had to change the title of this thread a few times in the past just so that it stays in the politics section. The Igbo threads on the hand have been there for over a year and nobody has asked them to change the title or moved their threads.

The content of those threads is not in anyway different from ours. Why then do we have to be the only ones to bend? If you are going to enforce rules, the least you can do is to make it applicable to everyone.

This thread is the only reason some of us visit this site. It has even brought some old members back as we have all found something we are interested in, which is the advancement of our group.

Please do right by us and move our thread back to the politics section.

Cheers.
