War of the Monarchs: Egba historian backs Alake, says Awujale a foreigner from Sudan


The historian spoke to journalists in Abeokuta on Friday while reacting to the widely publicized contentions between the traditional rulers on the seniority of their stools.

According to him, Awujale is a foreigner in Yoruba land, as the Ijebus originated from Wadai‎ in Sudan.

Mr. Adebowale said as a foreigner in Yorubaland, the Awujale and his Ijebu people lacked the authority to speak on the history of the Yoruba race.

So, the Aworis and Ijebus have all left Lagos now on Akiolu's command? Lol.

Like I stated earlier, his kingship ends in Lagos Island which was the only area Bini had. Besides, the people of Lagos island are still Yoruba, the same way Ilorin Yoruba people haven't become Fulani just because they have an Emir. Oba Akiolu is just talking to his foolish self.

Afonja this your greed for Lagos will be the downfall of Afonjas, better don't let the Benins over run Lagos, cause it will not hand over ruler ship again, Egun own badagry axis of Lagos Afonjas own nothing in Lagos and they are not indigenous to Lagos Afonjas are immigrants in Lagos just like the Igbo's, Ijaws, calabar, Hausas, Fulani, etc.

So Afonja stop with the land grabbing in Lagos thieves.

Maki Oh (Amaka Osakwe) - Fashion Designer.First African designer to be invited to the White House by Michelle Obama.Designs worn by Michelle Obama, Beyonce, Lupita Nyongo, Rihanna, Kerry Washington, among other celebrities.


http://makioh.com/


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaka_Osakwe


Amaka Osakwe (born 1987) is a Nigerian fashion designer and creator of the African based fashion label named Maki Oh. She leads her womanswear label since 2010 from Lagos, one of the few Nigerian-based brands that are globally acknowledged.[1][2]
Life and career

Osakwe studied at the Arts University Bournemouth where she received a BA in fashion studies. In autumn/winter 2010 she launched her label. Inspired by rural Ghana’s Dipo rites-of-passage ceremony, during which girls taking part are partially naked and ornately adorned, Osakwe has played with cloaking and ornamentation using traditional African fabrics.[3] Recently her label was discovered by the U.S. fashion scene in 2012, when she presented her designs at the New York Fashion Week.[4] She relates the legacy of their country with one, if they dyed their brands by hand with indigo leaves and painted the pattern with a paste made from cassava. Adire is the traditional method.

International stars such as singers Beyoncé and Rihanna or Hollywood actress Kerry Washington have discovered the Nigerian designer outfits for themselves. U.S. First Lady, Michelle Obama, well-known being a style icon, wore during summer 2013 trip to South Africa a blouse of Nigerian designer Maki Oh.[5][6] Her designs also have been worn by the likes of Solange Knowles and Leelee Sobieski and by Nigerian TV presenter Eku Edewor, and are sold internationally through Farfetch.com, and in United States at the McMullen boutique in Oakland.[7]

One signature of her brand is that it's dyed by hand using the traditional textile arte process Adire. Another is her way of combining Western silhouettes and native materials and motifs—to wit, a lace-blouse-and-pencil-skirt set appliquéd with unsettling raffia eyeballs.[8]

She was named Designer of the Year by African fashion magazine ARISE.

It appears even in your stupidity you ignorantly think you are smart, saying thesame thing many ways does not change it, Half full, half empty implies same thing it is Afonjas like you that prefer being called stupid to being called foolish cause you want to appear different.

Afonja logic; An Afonja can own a public company as chairman but Igbo's cannot own private company as chairman.

They can't even tell management from ownership, saying a man is the owner of public liability company and they do it with boldface Your teachers should be shut

Bravo he is getting it now, slowpoke! Just had to ruin it with tuo quo que fallacy, You can hang yourself, but management can't be the same as owner ship, You guys don't own poo, it is a company , show us the form co7, but for a company that has gone public it is a lie border ing on crass ignorance. Educate your mind. Thank God for Awo.

I am gonna buy shares for lulu at mtn, and lulu my dog, will be part owner of mtn Do you get it now. Iti.

Afonjas are dumb if they had any brain left they would have known that FKO81 absence was only temporal as he was stocking his arsenal.

Now Afonjas are running round this thread in circles like headless chickens and trying to tell Igbo's who is Igbo and who is not, poor souls.

William Okpo is for women who celebrate their cultivated sense of style.

Kagawa10:


Lol. Even Oba Akiolu told you ibos to respect Yoruba culture and its interest in lagos or else perish in the lagoon. Even if you keep beating your head on the wall, it won't change the fact that you're simply stupid.

But the same Oba of Lagos said he prefers Igbo's to Afonjas in Lagos, he said Igbo's are hardworking, industrious and bring development to the city of Lagos, he also said Igbo's should see Lagos as home away from home, so you see, it is actually Afonjas that are not wanted in Lagos.

Afonja grow sense, stop embarrassing your people by publicly showing your thievery for Lagos, it embarrassing to say the least. Thieves.
