YORUBAS HAVE BEEN CIVILIZED EVEN WHEN IGBOS WERE COVERING THEIR BLOCKOSS WITH BARE HANDS....


As of the 7th century BCE the African peoples
who lived in Yorubaland, were not initially
known as the Yoruba, although they shared a
common ethnicity and language group. By the
8th century, a powerful Yoruba kingdom already
existed in Ile-Ife , one of the earliest in Africa
south of the Sahara-Sahel.
The historical Yoruba develop in situ, out of
earlier Mesolithic Volta-Niger populations, by
the 1st millennium BCE. Oral history recorded
under the Oyo Empire derives the Yoruba as an
ethnic group from the population of the older
kingdom of Ile-Ife. The Yoruba were the
dominant cultural force in southern Nigeria as
far back as the 11th century. [28]
The Yoruba are among the most urbanized
people in Africa. For centuries before the arrival
of the British colonial administration most
Yoruba already lived in well structured urban
centers organized around powerful city-states
( Ìlú) centered around the residence of the Oba.
[29] In ancient times, most of these cities were
fortresses, with high walls and gates. Yoruba
cities have always been among the most
populous in Africa. Archaeological findings
indicate that Òyó-Ilé or Katunga, capital of the
Yoruba empire of Oyo that flourished between
the 11th and 19th centuries A.D. had a
population of over 100,000 people (the largest
single population of any African settlement at
that time in history). For a long time also,
Ibadan , one of the major Yoruba cities, was the
largest city in the whole of Sub Saharan Africa.
Today, Lagos (Yorùbá : Èkó), another major
Yoruba city, with a population of over twenty
million, remains the largest on the African
continent.

IGBO HISTORY


Aspects of Igbo culture such as construction of
houses, education and religion changed
following colonialism. The tradition of building
houses out of mud walls and thatched roofs
ended as the people shifted to materials such
as cement blocks for houses and zinc roofs.
Roads for vehicles were built. Buildings such as
hospitals and schools were erected in many
parts of Igboland. Along with these changes,
electricity and running water were installed in
the early 20th century. With electricity, new
technology such as radios and televisions were
adopted, and have become commonplace in
most Igbo households.

low life are you among social almajiri in Southwest [b]Kindly read
Emerging trend of social almajiri in Yorubaland
By Hakeem Jamiu

There is a social malaise which is gradually creeping into the lexicon of Yorubaland and this is the ugly spectre of hungry children begging for food and alms at social events. Older women are equally not left out in this ugly but strange practice in Yorubaland. It is strange in Yorubaland because the concept of almajiri which simply means street urchin is common in the Northern part of the country. Yorubas use to refer derisively to anybody soliciting for arms in Yorubaland in the olden days as almajiri. The almajiri of the North are usually children between the age bracket of 7 and 20 in most cases. Almajiris are so desperate for food that any unsuspecting visitor to the Northern part of the country who goes to a restaurant to eat but mistakenly left his food to wash his hands is likely to lose such to waiting almajiris before he comes back for the food.


I first noticed this ugly trend at a ceremony I attended a few months ago at Ayetoro Ekiti. Elderly and middle aged able bodied women from Kwara, Osun and Oyo states invaded the burial ceremony uninvited and were embarrassing guests who refused to give them money. Also noticeable were children with their begging bowls who thronged the venue of the ceremony soliciting for left over food and alms. The children were a pitiable sight. Poverty was clearly written on their faces. I have attended many social functions after that and the same trend was noticeable. But I became worried a few days ago, when I attended the burial ceremony of a friend's father in Ilesha , Osun State . They came in various groups and employ different methods in soliciting for alms. There were the elderly women who were busy harassing guests in the name of praise singing and would not leave until you part with money, there were the men with their public address system which they use in praise singing but which is disturbance and yet, there were Yoruba children in the mould of almajiris with their begging bowls scrambling for left-over and at the same time soliciting for alms.


Fellow guests on my table at the event who were also journalists expressed their concern in unison about the growing trend of almajiri of various categories in Yorubaland. They all agreed that it has become a social problem. We started discussing and realised that the culture of begging in the mould of almajiris is alien to Yoruba culture. In those days before the advent of the British, the Yorubas are a proud people known for their hard work and industry. They practiced hoe agriculture and were well known as traders and for their crafts. Yoruba artists have produced masterpieces of woodcarving and bronze casting, some of which date from as early as the 13th century. Many of Nigeria 's best-known artists and writers are Yoruba. Other occupation of the Yorubas at that time were drumming and masquerading which would now be called showbiz. They engage in all the foregoing occupation but a Yoruba man or woman (able bodied) would not beg for alms as it is considered shameful and something akin to a curse. The Yorubas cherish their oriki (folklore) which is a poetic version of eulogizing the exploits of their progenitors which is an incentive for them to excel and even surpass their progenitors. The Yorubas have harsh words for lazy people. Such people are objects of ridicule and butt of jokes in the society. With this background, it is understandable why we became worried with the array of beggars at the Ilesha ceremony.


After leaving the party, I reflected on the scenario of the almajiris in Ilesha and I was able to draw a relationship between Political almajiris and social almajiris. I discovered that social almajiri had its root in the advent of the politics of do -or-die introduced into the political lexicon of Yorubaland by apostles of mainstream politics especially ex-President Obasanjo. The grand Patron of political almajiris who recently passed away was Chief Lamidi Adedibu. Many have argued that his death has led to the proliferation of almajiris in Yorubaland. This is because those he hitherto dole handouts to must look for other means of survival since he is no more. These political almajiris are ready to exchange their mothers for few coins. A new political class of men without integrity and anything goes was created and they became political almajiris who survive on crumbs from their masters. They would rig, kill, maim and do all sort of things to acquire political power. With the ascension of these men in power, good governance became a thing of the past. Our collective patrimony was squandered by these political almajiris. Nigeria has never been so blessed with petro dollar with oil selling for $156 dollars per barrel but Nigeria has never been so poor with a chunk of the population living below poverty line. So versions of the political almajiris are the social almajiris that now invade ceremonies in Yorubaland. With these children begging for alms, a ready made market for thuggery and other social vices is assured. The activities of the beggars are not limited to parties. At bus stops in our cities, it is a common sight to see women most of who are still in their mid thirties, who would strap a baby at their backs and approach men with stories of despair to solicit for alms. Many of them would end up in bed with such men. This is another brand of alamajiri and these are Yoruba women. A violent version of almajiri but which is gradually being tackled in Lagos is the 'Area Boys' syndrome. These are Yoruba street urchins who are semi- armed robbers.


The underlying factor in this new trend is failure of the Nigerian State on one part and the laziness on the part of these women. Most of them don't want to work, In those days, when everybody's occupation was farming you dare not beg. You must find something to do. But these days, our women and children are too lazy. It is either they steal or beg. In most cases a mother and child become almajiris at social events. So the question now is can a Yoruba man now refer derisively to a Hausa beggar as almajiri when we have many of them now in Yorubaland? The answer is no! This trend must be arrested before it goes out of hand. The almajiris in the North these days engage in novel forms of drug abuse like sniffing of gutter water to get intoxicated, sniffing of adhesives and other drugs so that they are ever ready to unleash terror on the rest of the society whenever they are called upon to do so by the political wing of almajiris. I strongly recommend that guests at public functions must stop encouraging almajiris by giving them money.


But can government which itself owns the political wing of almajiris arrest this trend? Time will tell.[/b]

Those pictures doesn't change the fact that Ibadan is biggest slum
Three high rises in middle of slumb
RESIDENTS FLAY OYO OVER FILTH, THE DESTITUTE IN IBADAN


[b]Residents of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, have blamed the state government for its poor handling of the destitute and lunatics who have taken over major streets and highways in the city.
A cross-section of respondents, who spoke with our correspondent on Tuesday, noted that the present administration in the state was not doing enough to improve on the state of the streets, which they described as too dirty.

Investigations by our correspondent reveal that destitute, most of who are physically handicapped, besieged major streets in the city as early as 7am, harassing residents, especially those who are caught up in traffic and others on their way to work.

It was learnt that they took off every morning from Saabo, Gege and Ojoo area of the city where they had their own leaders and chiefs and returned later in the evening.

A member of staff of a new generation bank in the Dugbe, Mrs. Dupe Siyanbola, told our correspondent that the large presence of the lunatics and the destitute on major roads portended great danger to residents.

Siyanbola noted that the carefree attitude of the state government towards the menace was uncalled for as the situation portrayed the state in a negative perspective.

A cab driver in Mokola, Mr. Bayo Busari, alleged that government was probably encouraging the destitute and lunatics with its perceived non-chalant attitude towards the threat they could pose to the lives of innocent residents.

He said, “Each time passengers are inside the vehicle and we are calling for more, the destitute will just rush towards the car and they will start disturbing the people demanding for money.

“The point is that they are too many. Government is not doing anything to resettle them or send them back to their states of origin.”

A non-academic staff of the University of Ibadan, Mr. Femi Fawole, urged the state government to copy the Lagos State Government in its handling of the destitute.

Fawole alleged that the state government’s insensitivity to the welfare of the citizenry informed its lack of attention to rid Ibadan of filth and the destitute.

The state Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Welfare, Mrs. Deborah Oyelade, has, however, expressed worry over the increasing number of lunatics and the destitute in the state.

Ibadan horror house in the thick forest of Soka

Latest investigation by the Nigerian police have revealed that a large number of “lunatics” roaming Ibadan street are actually human body parts dealers who waylay their unsuspecting victims, snuff life out of them and auction their remains to the highest bidder.

The Oyo State Police Command said, Tuesday, that two mad men they arrested in connection with the Ibadan house of horror have now confessed to be sane men who only try to heck a living from the sale of human body parts.

State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammed Indabawa said: “We have rescued 42 lunatics or presumed lunatics from the streets so far. Two people have been killed. Investigation, like I said, is ongoing and out of the so called lunatics, two of them have confessed to be looking for human body parts, but they are not yet related to the Soka incident.

“That place has been there for a very long time, perhaps about 10 years. It was initially used by a construction company during the channelisation of Ogunpa River and after then the site was abandoned.”

The police launched an investigation into the role the presumed lunatics play in ritual killing and human body parts dealing after a slaughter house was exposed in Soka, Ibadan in the fall of March.

The investigation’s finding that those most of those insanity-feigning humans are actually human body part dealers may not be the only revelation as The City Reporters have now gathered that the current Oyo State administration led by Senator Abiola Ajimobi may be implicated in the despicable practice.

The Ibadan house of horror is a bye product of a policy the Ajimobi-led government of Oyo state initiated after the administration, while attempting to aesthetically improve the environment, allegedly commissioned a certain Engr. Ibrahim Gbadamosi to rid the streets of destitute and the mentally-challenged.

The task was simple: Get these people, lock them up in a government-owned property and starve them to death or so it seems the details of the contract specified.

With the reported active connivance of the state government, Engr. Gbadamosi took the blind, lame, mentally challenged and destitute to the Soka forest in Ibadan. He put them in a building owned by the state government and left them to die a slow, painful, hunger-induced death.

Governor Abiola Ajimobi’s bid to distance his administration from the gory killing of the destitute the state tried to “help,” has even fallen on angry ears.

“If the governor had no prior knowledge of the house of horror, why did he not call on the police to conduct a proper investigation before ordering its demolition?” That was the question a social commentator asked in one of the columns published by The City Reporters.

“Little wonder he was pelted with stones by an angry mob when he visited the scene. I suppose his continual denial of his government’s culpability comes under the heading of inspiring leadership. The leadership manual drafted for him by his godfather in Lagos.”http://thecityreporters.com/ibadan-house-of-horror-ritualists-fake-madness-amid-gov-ajimobis-alleged-complicity/[/b]

S-West is Nigeria’s kidnap capital — Report

Read more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/10/s-west-is-nigerias-kidnap-capital-report/“A result of a recent survey it conducted shows that you are more likely to be abducted in the South West than any other region in Nigeria.” Contrary to the perception that kidnapping is more prevalent in the South East and South South geo-political zones, a recent survey shows that people are more likely to be kidnapped in the South West than any other region in Nigeria. The 2013 National Crime Victimisation and Safety Survey conducted by CLEEN Foundation with support from the United States based Macarthur Foundation shows that the South West has the highest incidents of kidnapping with 5 per cent of the respondents from the region saying they have either been kidnapped or attempts have been made to kidnap them. The South South and the South East closely follows with a 4 per cent kidnap rate. The region with the lowest rate of kidnapping is the North Central region with 2 per cent. Rape and Attempted Rape With a 10 per cent incident of rape or attempted rape, the South South region is the rape capital of the country followed by the North East (6 per cent) and the South West and North West (4 per cent each). The South East is the region with the lowest propensity for rape with just 1 per cent. The survey also shows that the national incidence of rape almost doubled from 3 per cent in 2011 to 5 per cent in 2013. Most of the respondents who claimed to have been raped said they were raped in and around their homes. Thirty-three per cent said they were raped nearest to their homes; 19 per cent were raped in their homes while 13 per cent of cases of rape occurred in schools or places of work. Robberies IGP-Solomon-Arase The survey shows that cases of robbery rose 1 per cent from last year nationally. Kaduna recorded the highest cases of robbery with 43 per cent closely followed by Akwa-Ibom 42 per cent and Cross River 39 per cent. Jigawa and Kano States recorded the lowest cases of robbery with 5 and 3 per cents respectively. The survey shows that more needs to be done about security in and around homes as 63 per cent of respondents said robberies occurred in homes or near to home. Physical Assaults South East states recorded the highest rate of physical assaults, the report showed. Enugu State had the highest cases of assault with 84 per cent, closely followed by Ebonyi (77 per cent) Rivers (58 per cent) and Anambra (50 per cent). The cases of physical assault in Abuja rose from 15 per cent last year to 24 per cent. However cases of physical assault dropped drastically in Niger State from 68 per cent in 2012 to 6 per cent this year. Also physical assault dropped from 23 per cent in 2012 to 8 per cent this year in Jigawa State. Meantime, an Akure Magistrates’ Court recently remanded a 25-year-old man, Taiwo Ebenezer, in prison for allegedly kidnapping a 21-year-old, Olayemi Olatunji. The Chief Magistrate, Mr Sunday Adedapo, who handed down the verdict, said Ebenezer should be kept behind bars at Olokuta Prisons in Akure pending advice from the State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). According to reports, the court did not take the plea of the accused in spite of efforts by his counsel, Mr Ademola Abemkemo to secure bail for him. The accused, whose address is unknown, is facing a two count charge of conspiracy and kidnapping. The prosecutor, ASP Pelumi Adejuwon, had earlier told the court that the accused with others still at large, kidnapped Olatunji. Adejuwon said the accused and his accomplices were armed with a gun, cutlasses and some other dangerous weapons when they committed the offences. According to him, the accused committed the offences on May 7 between 8.00 a.m. and 6. 00 p.m. at Ayeyemi Street, Ondo. He said the kidnap was, however, foiled when the victim raised an alarm which attracted passers-by who apprehended the accused. The offences, Adejuwon said, contravened Section 516 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ondo State, 2006. The offences also violated Section 3(1) of the Special Anti-Kidnapping and Anti-Abduction Law of Ondo State, 2010. The case was adjourned till June 22 for mention.

Herald, trent, newsonline,Newtelegraph etc...Do they look like authentic newsoutlets to you?
Vanguard is sympathetic to IPOB,why didn't they carry it and show us the report?Why didn't any other paper carry except these phony and hilarious towncriers.
You think everybody is as dumb as an Igboman.
IGBOS ARE KNOWN WORLDWIDE TO BE CRIMINALLY INCLINED AND TWO OR EVEN TEN SUCCESSFUL LITTLE WOULD BE GOING TO THE IVY LEAGUE CANNOT CHANGE THIS TO MAKE IGBO HALF AS BRILLIANT AS THE YORUBAS

This pained mofo don take his crying to a whole new level. News companies well known and even used by his peeps to whine is now owned IPOB . Hilarious enough, I know one of the media used,aka the herald is a USA company. the herald alone has more than 100 outlet worldwide, Nigeria is one of them, you pained nigga but that does not remove it's originality.

Nigga as I said we know you're pained.....if you are a LOSER Noone toots your horn for you, you have to toot it yourself case in point you. Why you think not one igbo is posting igbo achievement to your painment. Why should we compete with people BENEATH us? Unlike una, without self acclamation, the rest of the world have noticed igbo achievement while una well still competing with us (at least your people can say they have you talking about them)

The loser competes with the winner, not the other way around. It's demeaning to even lower ourselves to una level. We've passed Nigeria level.....hell we've held the educational statistics of that zoo for years (while una still dey do I get am before), now we are competiting with the rest of the world and they are noticing. When those above us in education like Asia starts a comparison fight, that's when we'll engage but when an AFRICAN group that Noone talks about and we've defeated repeatedly even in their own tuff regarding education wants to start a comparison fight, it's a complete insult to demean/ lower ourselves to people not even remotely on our level. Hell I'm even ashamed FKO81 decided to join you in your wailing. He should have just given you space to cry like rest of us are doing

Cry on Nigga cry....take my advice and call up those news outlets and cry to them as well. Staying on NL only to cry isn't going to help the media know how pained Yoloba are that Igbo are named as the smartest African group by a USA study

Finally, Yoloba are known AS THE CRIMINAL DEN OF NIGERIA. If the igbos were known as that FBI wouldn't have confused an urhobo as Yoruba, it would have been Igbo but alas, it was the other way around. Hell FBI changed their list for Nigeria criminals they looking for and yet again, majority on that list are yoloba. There's only been 2 igbo wanted by FBI while the rest have all been YOLOBA. Let's not even get started wtf una do in UK

West Africa's International Drug Trade-by Prof Ellis...
new bulk trade
The first recorded case of a Nigerian smuggler transporting heroin in bulk is that of Joe Brown Akubueze, who imported some 250 kilograms of heroin from Thailand by sea, packed in water coolers, in December 1993. He was arrested in Nigeria after a tip-off, and sentenced by a court to 115 years in prison, of which he served ten years before being released.97 In retrospect, this was an early indicator of a move towards very large shipments by air and sea, although the classic Nigerian courier trade still remains as strong as ever. From the late 1990s, there were growing reports of ‘very large consignments’ of drugs heading to West Africa ‘by ship or commercial containers’, according to a police officer working for the UN.98 In 2000, Cape Verdean authorities reported the interception of a ship in the Caribbean heading to their country with 2.3 tonnes of cocaine.99 In 2003, a massive cargo of 7.5 tonnes of cocaine was intercepted on a ship enroutetoSpainviaCapeVerdeandSenegal.100 In 2004, six people were arrested in the Ghanaian port-city of Temainpossession of 588kilogramsof cocaine from Colombia via Venezuela.101 This was a particularly notorious case because of the action of a judge who, amazingly, granted bail to the accused, raising suspicions of corrupt...

Not only that, unlike the rest have left it in the past, Yoloba are still the only set practicing cannibalism as well actually have a market for human meat.

Read and behold

Inhabitants.?—?The population of Nigeria is estimated at 15,000,000. The Europeans (mostly British) number about a thousand, and are civil servants, soldiers, traders or missionaries. In the delta district and the forest zone the inhabitants are typical negroes. Besides the people of Benin, the coast tribes include the Jekri (Itshekiri), living on the lower part of the Benin river and akin to the Yoruba, the Ijos, living in the delta east of the main mouth of the Niger, and the Ibos, occupying a wide tract of country just above the delta and extending for 100 m. east from the Niger to the Cross river. South of the Ibos live the Aros, a tribe of relatively great intelligence, who dominated many of the surrounding tribes and possessed an oracle or ju-ju of reputed great power. On the middle Cross river live the Akuna-kunas, an agricultural race, and in the Calabar region are the Efiks, Ibibios and Kwas. All these tribes are fetish worshippers, though Christian and Moslem missionaries have made numerous converts. The Efiks, a coast tribe which has come much into contact with white men, have adopted several European customs, and educated Efiks are employed in government service. The great secret society called Egbo (q.v.) is an Efik institution. Each tribe has a different ju-ju, and each speaks a separate language or dialect, the most widely diffused tongues being the Ibo and Efik, which have been reduced to writing. In general little clothing is worn, but none of the tribes go absolutely Unclad. In colour the majority are dark chocolate, others are coal-black (a tint much admired by the natives themselves) or dark yellow-brown. Cannibalism, human sacrifices and other revolting practices common to the tribes, are being gradually stamped out under British control. Trial by ordeal and domestic slavery are still among the recognized institutions.

The Encyclopædia Britannica: A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences ..., Volume 19 edited by Hugh Chisholm

Sanctions tend to vary according to the perceived offenses but details about the sanctions such as the type, the mode and the enforcement are scarce. If blood was spilled in a fight, the fighters would have to pay a fine and provide animals for sacrifice. If a wrongdoer denied a charge against him, he would be compelled to declare "If I am innocent, I will come to no harm. If I did the thing they are inquiring into, may I die in two days" (Ibid., 366). Most Ogboni rituals involved the sacrificing of animals, but according to Morton-Williams, some rituals used to include forced suicide, poisoning, human sacrifice and cannibalism . For example, if an Oba embarked on a course of action of which the Obgoni disapproved, he would have been coerced into committing suicide (Ibid., 367). If someone in the Obgoni cult broke the code of secrecy, "the Ogboni will try to poison him, or to paralyse him by casting a spell on his footprints" (Ibid., 370).

A Tribe called Yoruba is indulge in the human flesh trade and even there are reports of cannibalism in the Eastern Nigeria where enjoy having human meat. Body parts and its trade are booming in Nigeria because of high rate of superstition and demand by witch doctors. Bodies which are unclaimed or did not found any place in cemetery or left partly cremated contribute majority of the volume of this flourishing business. There are open markets where one can buy fresh or stored human meat and its body parts. Here are the details from which one could have an idea about its norms and existence Lagos – A Nigerian man has been arrested after he killed a woman and ate her stewed intestines in a bid to cure an abnormally persistent Attention, police said on Wednesday.

A spokesperson for Osun state police said 50-year-old Folorunso Olukotun had led officers to his victim’s disemboweled body in the bush near his home village in south-west Nigeria.

“According to the man’s story, his private organ always has an Attention and it doesn’t go down,” Oluwole Ayodeji said. “Someone advised him to kill a woman and eat her intestines.”

Olukotun ambushed his victim, a woman in her forties unknown to her attacker, on a path near her village. He attacked her with a machete, killed her, and took her intestines home, Ayodeji said.

‘He seems to have believed them’
“He cooked them like a sort of stew and ate them with pounded yam,” he said. “When the police arrived he was very open, we have his whole confession on tape and he has been remanded in custody.”

The spokesperson said that police believe that someone had jokingly suggested cannibalism as a cure for Olukotun’s problem, in the belief that he would never carry out such a killing.

“He seems to have believed them,” he said. Police could not say whether the Attention has now subsided. – Sapa-AFP

Funny enough, the article was written after you shameless Sahara reporters tried to spread rumors of a restaurant in Onitsha selling human body parts hence his inclusion of Eastern Nigeria.

Hidden Nigerian culture exposed. Almost unbelievable!

We need legislation to eradicate rituals, cannibalism - Erelu Lola Ayonrinde -[/b]Raises posers on Oba Funso Adeolu's corpse

Erelu Tunwase AyonrindeErelu Tunwase of Ode-Remo, Chief Lola Ayonrinde, who is the Otun Iyalode of Shomolu and Lagos District, and also the Yeye Akinrogun of Ikeji-Ile Ijesa was twice Mayor of the London Borough of Wandsworth. She talks to AYO-LAWAL GBENOBA on her campaign against human sacrifice and cannibalism in Nigeria.
Excerpts:

WHAT is your campaign all about?
The �Say No To Cannibalism In Nigeria' campaign is aimed towards eradicating the ancient and obnoxious practice of mutilating the bodies of traditional rulers after death. The rituals and sacrifices parts of the body of a dead king, especially in Western Nigeria, are used for are barbaric and a disgrace to the country in this 21st century. The movement is out to stop these evil practices which are not in consonant with the will of God and against the fundamental human rights of the affected traditional rulers. When a king dies, they say they have to give his heart to his successor on the throne to eat. They explained that it will make the new king strong and courageous but, is that not deceit? How can eating somebody's flesh give courage to another person? They mutilate the remains of these kings and engage in fetish and obnoxious activities which add no value to anybody or the society in general.


Why do you need to feed an incoming royal father with the heart of a dead one? This cannibalism started with Christopher Colombus who believed that when a king ate the heart, or some other parts of a dead ruler, some major attributes of the dead was transferred to the new king. This is sheer cannibalism and has no place with God. And, I want the chiefs, the traditional rulers themselves and other stakeholders to know that any tradition that does not recognise God is doomed. The government must put a stop to this cannibalism going on in some parts of Nigeria because, it is even against the constitution of Nigeria. Section 38 subsection 1 of the Nigerian constitution gives every citizen the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, while section 17 subsection 26 declares that the sanctity of the human person shall be recognised and human dignity shall be maintained and enhanced. Where is the sanctity of the human person in all these? Where is human dignity?


What motivated this campaign?
I was very close to the late Alaye of Ode-Remo, Oba Funso Adeolu, the popular Chief Eleyinmi of the rested Village Headmaster soap opera. Few months after his death on August 21, 2008, he started appearing to me and I had months of traumatic haunting. In his lifetime, Oba Adeolu was a Christian and he made it known that he did not partake in anything fetish during his installation as king. He explicitly, several times, demanded that when death came calling, his corpse should be handed over to his family so that he could be given a proper Christian burial. However, his corpse was not released to the family. After his death, he appeared to me several times, and kept telling me about many things. He said his corpse was handed over to the �odis' (slaves) who treated it like that of a criminal. They took bits and pieces of his remains for their own use while some parts were distributed to the four corners of the town.


It was while going round that I discovered what happened and I met some chiefs who confessed what happened but asked me to forget it because there was nothing we could do about it.


All the �odus' of Ifa do not approve using human beings as sacrifice, the constitution does not approve and to crown it all, God Almighty frowns at this practice, they are doing it to appease whom? Some of the kings today are enlightened and those who are born again Christians, like Oba Adeolu, are renouncing these things. So, why hold on to an obnoxious and barbaric act? Oba Adeolu believed he would be given a decent burial and that is why his ghost has refused to rest. Even in Ijebuland, these things were abolished years ago and Ijebuland under the Awujale agreed they would bury kings according to their religion.


So, how do you hope to stop the practice?
We are canvassing that our traditional rulers should be buried whole, without being mutilated and it should be in the open. There is secrecy because of the evils attached. It is untenable scientifically that the heart is eaten for so and so reasons. To start with, let us have the installation of kings in the open, no aspect of the installation should be shrouded in secrecy. It should be a celebration of our culture so, why should it be shrouded in secrecy? When everything becomes transparent, it will even help younger ones to know more about our culture and we will be able to restore some of our societal values. Why should obas be laid to rest in a paganic manner? If a governor gives staff of office to a king, giving him recognition and authority, that king is under the governor so, why should the government condone barbarism in this age? The ministry of local government and chieftaincy affairs should do something about this, if not, the government is endorsing cannibalism. True that some of the kings went through these rituals during installation but those who opted out should be given that grace of opting out of the rituals in death. They should be buried according to their faith. The practice is a disgrace to the whole of South West because it is common there.


We are appealing to the traditional rulers who were installed through cannibalism to renounce it publicly and declare they don't want their hearts to be eaten or other parts of their bodies to be used for any form of ritual. Abolition of slave trade took place years ago. So, why do we still have some people in Ode calling themselves slaves (�odis')? We need legislation to stop the barbaric act and we are appealing to our lawmakers to rise up to this task of eradicating cannibalism in Nigeria. There should be a law backing a king to opt out of fetish installation and burial and it should become an offence for anyone to tamper with the remains of a king, for whatever purpose, or to give the body to the �odi' for rituals. The penalty should be without an option of fine so that the perpetrators would know how grave the offence is. The �odi' in Ode can be given money to buy goat, ram, cow, or whatever they need for sacrifice, if they must, but there must be total abolition of human sacrifice in the country. Efforts are being made by some Ogun State traditional rulers to stop it but some feel the fetish practice must be protected. The government must detach itself from it.


Internationally, human sacrifice, cannibalism, witchcraft and sorcery are illegal so, why should it be done with impunity in Nigeria, a country that is known as the giant of Africa? Infact, politicians should begin to include the abolition of cannibalism in their campaign programmes, and party manifestos by 2010.


What efforts have you made so far to network and get people involved?
We give glory to Almighty God. I have spoken to so many kings who secretly don't want it and we are telling them that they should make an open declaration against these evil practices. The campaign would be boosted if they do because people believe they all knew and agreed to these evil practices before being installed. We now call on the royal fathers again, in the name of Almighty God, to declare publicly that they don't want these fetish practices to continue. I have carried the campaign to the international level so that Nigerians of affluence who are in diaspora would lobby the lawmakers and get a legal backing for the campaign to eradicate human sacrifice and cannibalism in Nigeria. A number of international media like the BBC have aired my interview on the campaign and some Nigerian people abroad are involved in the lobbying for a legislation to stop the obnoxious practices.


We call on the �oluwos' and �odis' in Ode to review the entrenched ill that has no value to the society. We appeal to them to accept cows and goats and allow our royal fathers to be buried according to their beliefs. Then, it was about time that the royal fathers are constituted into the House of Royals, like the House of Lords, so that they would have more power, say and patnership in governance. This would help them to contribute meaningfully to issues affecting them and the society at large.

Inside human parts market in Lagos.
Sunday, February 15, 2009

More Stories on This Section
Jankara market is self- effacing and deceptively ordinary. Located close to Idumagbo area of Lagos Island, the market is just a stretch of an old street.

Ears on the ground
Like other streets and markets, canvassers and touts hang around the place pitching for customers and mugus (gullible people). Though low in reputation,touts are an essential segment of this time – honoured market. Over the years, the place has come to be known as a place where any thing goes. And so, the touts come handy here.
They have their ears on the ground, and therefore know all the goings-on.

Book and wait
A week ago, our reporter posed as a juju priest who was in dire need of human body parts for urgent rituals. After about four hours of waiting and being passed from one “contact” to another, and played around like ping-pong, the reporter got a dealer who “booked” him. The rule here is, if you want a fresh human body part, you book and wait. If your order is for dry parts you get instant delivery.
But you must be an expert in human anatomy to decipher the parts you want from man’s closest animal relations – gorilla, chimpanzee and monkey.

Dark secret
But don’t jump to a hasty conclusion, there are genuine traders and honest businessmen and women at Jankara.They perhaps don’t even know that the place also habour a dark secret. A police post even looks over the place. A signpost calls it Oko Awo Police Post. An office on the counter there stared at our reporter angrily when he asked him if the police know about the wheeling and dealing in human body parts in the area: “What kind of question be this? I beg go, no be for here—o” the police officer retorted angrily.

Menumo
This expression when translated literally means “seal your lips” in Yoruba. The term is said in whisper and hushed tone — menu…mo .When you say the first syllable, you pause, look around to be sure there’s no third party or curiosity cat eaves dropping. When a deal is struck, you will be taken to some dank shanties and courtyard for your consignment.

The business is all about raw cash. A fresh human head has a street value of N250, 000. Fresh internal organs like heart, lung, kidney, and so on go for 500,000 a piece.
Other vital parts like joystick, vagina and breast costs N50,000 each.Fresh tongue is sold at N100,000.
Sunday Sun learnt when a tongue is “ritualized and jujufied” that it “works well” for traders and people who apply for visa to go abroad “when well prepared, no one go question you for embassy and even your working place”, a dealer whose alias is Baba Ibeji revealed.

Toe and finger, Sunday Sun further learnt are good for travelers and business people. “ The toe is for traveling without falling.
The finger is to make money. Any thing you touch turns to money”, Baba Ibeji said.
Fresh toe and finger goes for N50,000 each.

Ritual animals
Even animals considered endangered species are not spared in Jankara. Herbalist beside the area’s butcher shop openly sell a wide range of animals. Imprisoned in wire-mesh cages are live animals like eagles, tortoise, chamellion, alligator and so on. A live eagle goes for N10,000.
Dead and dry one costsN500,000. Live Tortois costN5,000 while ordinary empty one is sold for N2,500.
Live chamelion costs N2,500. Dead and dry one goes for N2,000. The lizard-like creature, Sunday Sun learnt, is in demand by Advance Fee Fraudster —419. “When the thing is worked”, it means the more you look, the less you see, you will never caught,” one of the dealers who declined to give his name said.

Tough-skinned
The dealers know their terrain and the world they inhabit.They smell and sense danger in the air all the time. They are inclined to do business with you if you mention and have a prove of a regular Juju priest and customer. Even at this, they will still carry out a check on you. There’s no physical search. Under the pretex of “bringing your thing”, they will call your guarrantor and run a check on you. Any discovery of falsehood, they will cancel the deal and melt out of sight, leaving you to wait forever

Where missing people go
Jankara might be the possible place where missing persons in Lagos resurface but reduced to faceless, liveless body parts. As though to corroborate this, the managing director of Lagos State waste Management Authority (LAWMAN), Mr Ola Oresanya told Sunday Sun in an interview that hardly a day passes in the city without street sweepers and refuse collectors picking dismembered corpses and body parts.

“The corpses and body parts may be the handwork of ritualist and hit-and-run drivers”, he said.

Meanwhile Sunday Sun learnt that the morgues in the city are brimming with unclaimed dcorpses.There’s no more land for mass burial. So cremnation is the only option,” the source said.

Please post more so that we can learn. I find it curious that ibos were the only people in Nigeria who hunted other human beings for food. Could it be there was a shortage of wild game or was it just a delicacy?

A Tribe that kidnaps their own, kills and sell their body for human parts. Still practicing cannibalism in this 21st century, their obas has to secretly eat the other kings body parts before getting crowned, Nigga have to bring buried alive with a dead Oba because he was appointed wtf una call them again and not only that, defecate everywhere in your so called "cities" screams Savage. No question about that. News flash... tell your people who claims to be the "first civilized in Africa" that we are in 21st century...join the rest of us in the modern world.

You mean the post that was later discovered as A LIE started by you yoloba dumbass

The British Broadcasting Cooperation has apologised for wrongly publishing a story about a restaurant in Anambra State, Nigeria, where human flesh is served as meat.
In the report, BBC had said suspicious residents in Anambra told police about rumours that the restaurant was cooking human meat for customers.
It also said when police raided the restaurant, fresh human heads, still bleeding were discovered.
The BBC said the blood found in the restaurant by the police were in the process of being drained into a plastic bag.
The BBC has, however, published an apology, saying the story was false and inappropriate.
BBC said it had already begun investigations to confirm what led to such publication and will take necessary steps to ensure the mistake does not occur again.
“The story about the Nigerian restaurant which we published here frame a mistake and we apologise. It was incorrect and BBC published without the proper checks. We have removed the story and have launched an urgent investigation into how this happened,” BBC said.
It added that the BBC Burmese service’s reputation for accuracy and balance remains important

The dude was severally hurt by the OP'S article. He's trying his best to undo the damage the thread did to his Ego. I mean I understand. When you are losers but self delude yourselves as winners, it'll hurt as hell when the real winners are getting praised without them even trying to get noticed.

Na low self esteem you dey see from that Ritchiee dude. Truth!! Just give him space to cry it all out. I expect to see him move from cities to start talking about women...watch you'll see

Low life esteem that Wright words

Onenaira1:


This pained mofo don take his crying to a whole new level. News companies well known and even used by his peeps to whine is now owned IPOB . Hilarious enough, I know one of the media used,aka the herald is a USA company. the herald alone has more than 100 outlet worldwide, Nigeria is one of them, you pained nigga but that does not remove it's originality.

Nigga as I said we know you're pained.....if you are a LOSER Noone toots your horn for you, you have to toot it yourself case in point you. Why you think not one igbo is posting igbo achievement to your painment. Why should we compete with people BENEATH us? Unlike una, without self acclamation, the rest of the world have noticed igbo achievement while una well still competing with us (at least your people can say they have you talking about them)

The loser competes with the winner, not the other way around. It's demeaning to even lower ourselves to una level. We've passed Nigeria level.....hell we've held the educational statistics of that zoo for years (while una still dey do I get am before), now we are competiting with the rest of the world and they are noticing. When those above us in education like Asia starts a comparison fight, that's when we'll engage but when an AFRICAN group that Noone talks about and we've defeated repeatedly even in their own tuff regarding education wants to start a comparison fight, it's a complete insult to demean/ lower ourselves to people not even remotely on our level. Hell I'm even ashamed FKO81 decided to join you in your wailing. He should have just given you space to cry like rest of us are doing

Cry on Nigga cry....take my advice and call up those news outlets and cry to them as well. Staying on NL only to cry isn't going to help the media know how pained Yoloba are that Igbo are named as the smartest African group by a USA study

Finally, Yoloba are known AS THE CRIMINAL DEN OF NIGERIA. If the igbos were known as that FBI wouldn't have confused an urhobo as Yoruba, it would have been Igbo but alas, it was the other way around. Hell FBI changed their list for Nigeria criminals they looking for and yet again, majority on that list are yoloba. There's only been 2 igbo wanted by FBI while the rest have all been YOLOBA. Let's not even get started wtf una do in UK

Choi! Choi!Choi! says Mr Ebede.That headline was influenced by a criminally inclined IPAD if not where is the report.Mr Ebede report:THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE KNOWN FOR ALL OVER THE WORLD:
Leader of the Nigerian Igbo Community in Europe,
NICE, Chief Chris Ebede, has faulted reports
circulating in the United Kingdom and some
countries in Europe which describe South-East
Nigeria (Igboland), Anambra State in particular, as
insecure and a no-go area for visitors.
According to him, the claim that the South-East is
a haven for armed robbers, kidnappers, advanced
fee fraudsters and ritual murderers is untrue and
unfortunate.
He pointed out that the reports circulating in the
United Kingdom and some countries in Europe had
led to a steady degeneration of social and
economic infrastructure in the south-eastern
states, coupled with the neglect of the zone by the
Federal Government and secondly by the poor and
dishonest leadership and governance style of the
governors in spite of bogus claims of
achievements.
“Another negative report was abysmal lack of
employment generation facilities especially for
youths in the zone which has exacerbated the rate
of crime in the zone which, in this case, was true
in the recent past in Anambra State, resulting,
among other repercussions, in our people residing
outside the state,those in diaspora not visiting
home to contribute to the development of the
state,” Ebede, who led a delegation of NICE on a
fact-finding visit to Anambra, stated.
He explained that the reports, which did not go
down well with Igbos in diaspora and, therefore,
were tabled at the organization’s biennial annual
conference/convention and, consequently, the
conference resolved to send the fact-finding
delegation to the South-East to investigate the
situation on ground.
He added that due to some logistic challenges, the
organization restricted its first mission to only
Anambra, using it as a pilot project.

You know that cannibalism is a culture in Igboland passed from generation to generation.IT IS IN THE DNA JUST LIKE CRIMINALITY.It is in perpetuity not a one night stand thing...lol

Father Bubendorf lived to tell his story...Whew!
Igbo Kwenu!!!

Every moment, men, women and even
children passed me. One would be
carrying a human leg on his shoulder,
another would be carrying the lungs
or the heart of some unfortunate
Kroo-boy in his or her hands. Several
times I myself was offered my choice
of one of these morsels, dripping with
gore.

the slaughter of a group of captives outside the hut
of a tribal chief, Onitsha, Nigeria, c. 1921
