Jeffrey Lawal-Balogun: from chasing buses to chasing dreams
Jeffrey Lawal-Balogun powered to the top of the UK 200m rankings with a sensational PB of 20.38 last month. spikesmag.com caught up with him ahead of this weekend’s Aviva World Trials and UK Championships.  It turns out he had a very unusual introduction to the sport…

23-year-old sprinter Jeffrey Lawal-Balogun rocketed to the top of the European rankings with a stellar 200m performance in Switzerland last month. This summer he could be competing for Great Britain at the World Championships in Berlin,  just four years after his talent was spotted – as he sprinted for a bus.

“I was coming home from college when I saw the 28 bus,” Lawal-Balogun tells spikesmag.com. “I started running for it but just missed it.

“A girl saw me run, she said I was fast and that I should go to a club,” he says.

PunchBowl Blog were on hand during London Fashion Week and we couldn’t help but notice how few black and ethnic models were used on the main schedule runways. Other then PPQ groundbreaking all black model catwalk, ethnic models were few and far between which made Tokumbo Daniel stand out even more.

The Models 1 signed, Nigerian model had a consistent season appearing in Vivienne Westwood, Nathen Jenden, Osman and bagging the front cover of The Times Magazine Fashion Issue amongst others. With a distinct, powerful walk and enviable long long legs she’s another face that PunchBowl Blog is endorsing as The Buzz| The Make Up| The Hype.

Adé was born to a Nigerian royal family in Ondo. His father was a church organist, while his mother was a trader. Adé left grammar school in Ondo under the pretense of going to the University of Lagos. There in Lagos his mercurial musical career started.


Sunny Ade's Musical Sound has evolved from the early day when the band was called Green Spot, then African Beats and Golden Mercury. His career, which began with Moses Olaiya's Federal Rhythm Dandies, a highlife band. He left to form The Green Spots in 1967. Over the years for various reasons ranging from changes in his music to business concerns,Sunny Ade's band changed from being Green spots to African Beats, and then to Golden Mercury.

There's a difference between people of Yoruba Ancestry/race and Egbe Omo Yoruba (oodua). And, everyone on this thread is not Yoruba.

Sorry, its not.
Egbe Omo Yoruba refers to the indigenous members of the Yoruba tribe originating in Nigeria (Oduduwa). There are other Yoruba people outside of this group.

As I said before, having Yoruba ancestry is very different from being part of the Egbe Omo Yoruba sect.

Who are the Yoruba?
The first obvious answer to this question is the Yoruba are a nationality, numbering about 40 million, the majority of whom live in the South Western part of the state of Nigeria in West Africa. Obvious as this answer is, it is not wholly explanatory, and certainly, it is not without its own controversy. First, regarding its explanatory status. One has to add, that the Yoruba are people, that speak a common language, Yoruba, which belongs to the Kwa group of the Niger-Congo linguistic family, and it has about 12 dialects; that they are a well urbanized group with genius in arts as symbolized in the famous "Ife Bronzes"; that Yoruba people are also found in Togo, Benin Republic and in other parts of the world, including Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad, and the United States. Second, regarding its controversial status, one has to confront the question what makes the Yoruba a nationality, or a nation, not a tribe or clan, and how does one then mark a distinction between Yorubaland and Nigeria.


now when i say yoruba I mean a person who sabi yoruba well well and can tell their origin. All the people i Posted of being yoruba can do so.

and which people that i posted do you think are not yoruba ?
Re: Celebrating Egbe Omo Yoruba by spikedcylinder: 10:40am On Nov 06, 2009
You're not getting it.
I'm not disputing that those you posted are Yoruba people, I'm saying they are not in the Egbe Omo Yoruba sect within the Yoruba people! All those Togolese and Beninoise people you posted are Yoruba but not in Egbe Omo Yoruba!
Re: Celebrating Egbe Omo Yoruba by sjeezy8: 10:41am On Nov 06, 2009
please tell me the meaning of "egbe omo yoruba" since you think it means yorubas who are only in Nigeria.
And where in any of its websites or meeting does it say for yorubas in Nigeria ONLY?
Re: Celebrating Egbe Omo Yoruba by spikedcylinder: 10:46am On Nov 06, 2009
I explained it before but I might as well give up now and discuss with others who have the ability to grasp.
Re: Celebrating Egbe Omo Yoruba by sjeezy8: 10:53am On Nov 06, 2009
i assume youre not yoruba or maybe a very stupid one because any sensible yoruba person would know that egba omo yoruba doesnt have anything to do with being Nigerian as i said earlier. Egbe omo yoruba clearly states " Egbe Omo Yoruba, National Association of Yoruba Descendants . . . . ."

I dont see any particular thing stating ONLY Nigerian yorubas anywhere there

so i think its hard for you to grasp the Idea of what egbe omo yoruba is.

and for your information the Togo and beninoise president have stated their ethnic origins being from ife and oyo. Last time i checked they were both in Yorubaland which happen to be in Naija. So either way your Argument or point is dead. sorry

Artist and Designer Nike Davies Okundaye

Nike has given workshops on traditional Nigerian textiles to audiences in the US and Europe during the past 20 years. While she is known for her colorful batik and paintings that offers a modernist gloss on traditional themes, she was brought up amidst the traditional weaving and dying practiced in her native village of Ogidi in Western Nigeria. Her fame as an artist and teacher has taken her all over the globe. Now, she invites you to visit her in Nigeria and immerse yourself in African tradition.

Nike found that the traditional methods of weaving and dying that had been her original inspiration were fading in Nigeria. She used her international success to launch a cultural revival, building art centers where young Nigerians master traditional arts and crafts. You can now visit the world of the Yoruba, to explore a culture that has flourished in Western Nigeria for well over 1000 years.

What flew past your head the first time? The part where you were typing with lower case or the part where you switched to capitalization?

I obviously made a mistake assuming the thread has been polluted with unnecessary arguement, knowing your NL persona.

Rotimi Adebari (born 1964 in Okeodan, Ogun State) is a Nigerian-born Irish politician. He was elected as the first black mayor in Ireland.

He fled Nigeria in 2000, and made claim for asylum on the grounds of religious persecution, but his application was rejected due to insufficient evidence he had personally suffered persecution.He gained residency in Ireland under the Irish Born Child scheme (since repealed).

He and his family settled in County Laois. In 2004, he was elected as a city councilor in local elections. In June 2007 he was elected as mayor of Portlaoise Town Council (9 members), with support from Fine Gael (2 seats) and Sinn Féin (1 seat).

He completed his master's degree in intercultural studies at Dublin City University.
Rotimi Adebari is the most decorated African in Ireland. In 2004 he became the first and only black man to be elected into the Portlaoise town council. Since then it has been one award after the other. And recently, he capped it up with the Xclusive Awards' Person of the Year 2007.

LDA’s collection filled the runway with yards of lace, Tartan and adorable flower applique. She features dresses which can be worn out to lunch and those  that will definitely make statements in social events! She mixes soft colours with delicate fabrics to execute very feminine pieces. And as for the bolder pieces, she experiments with  vibrant colour mixes, intense ruffles and rose applique. The pieces in this collection are expressive of an eccentric, vibrant yet an equally subtle personality.
