Sweetlemon:

FYI I am far from being a yoruba girl. VERY far. Cos I know that's what's running around your tribalistic skull which is what prevented you from reading and comprehending my first post.

I don't care where you're from, I don't care what you think, but its better to not that keyboard than display sincere ignorance.

Freedom of speech ain't the same as freedom of stupidity.

Yoruba_Jesus:
The people know where to get the divine milk when they need it.

You are blessed my son but you dont have to go under my blossoms to be protected. Roll with me and you will be saved.

Darn!! I've been touched by an angel and I can feel it in my body, spirit and soul. The anointing is all over me, right about now.

Defo taking a ride with you to see what they don't want us to see.

shymexx: You definitely can't disrespect the culture/tradition of the land and tell people what they've been doing to centuries has to stop because it doesn't agree with your thought-process. It's a free world, if you don't like it, move to an area that's more suitable to you.

There are people out there who don't like how Churches disturb the peace of everywhere on Sundays (a day for people to rest), but you can't stop people from doing their own thing. Same for those who don't agree with Muslims and whatever they do.

It's a free world.

You've got to be kidding me. That only applies if the region is being ruled by the Oba. As far as the constitution is concerned, there's a local government for a reason.

Even at that, a federal laws overrides that so as long as you're not violating the laws of Nigeria, this is totally wrong especially if it involves a threat to my safety.

Churches practice their religion in peace, Moslems do the same and if the traditionalists were to do same, no problem since everyone is entitled to that freedom as long as you're not going about threatening people which is what this is.

Agreed some parts of Lagos practise dependent monarchy which is allowed by the constitution but it is limited and restrictions of movement isn't one of them. They need to be checked but I don't expect that to happen, after all it's Nigeria

God is good

rubbish!!!
similar to my landlord telling me not to come out of my flat btw the hours of x and x.
even if there is an emergency..

well like some slow ppl just said, it is tradition and must be respected.

If omo nna cant abide with the traditions of the land,he can as well carry his manshion on his Igbo and march with it to alaigbo
End of discussion.

This is for all the Anti-orò

speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after
speech" Idi Amin.

It's our tradition y'all!!!

So deal with it or get the eff out!!!!

I think you're missing the point here, brother. I believe there's provision for customary laws in the constitution and the customs of the land represents the identity of the people.

Also, I don't know how you define freedom-of-movement. However, from what I read - I didn't see anything about movement being barred. It's more or less a warning to the people for their own safety.

Some of you pseudo-modernists need to understand the concept mutual relationship and tradition. And as far as Iru land is concerned, the Oniru owns the land - and whatever he chooses to do with it, or on it, is no one's business.

lakhadimar: Do the needful, go back to your village

That shit won't work and it is not working



The issue of go back to your village is an absolute rubbish talk

The men around Oniru are not average Nigerians, they are big shots













Oniru loves money so they have created "pass" for us

Oro...a reality check for those noise makers from across the Niger.

Lagos has tradition and culture...

Lagos is a traditional and cultural city..

madam_oringo:

Now you know LAGOS has ORIGINAL OWNERS?? I dare you to go and walk around the affected area at 12 am, and tell them it is no man's land! LMAO...we will surely be rid of the empty liability that is you in Nigeria. Go back to your village / region because whether you like it or not, we know ourselves and one day, you will surely leave our lands!

Slowly, yet surely, another Nazi Germany (supremacy of the Aryan race), another Rwandan genocide (humans were likened to roaches) is in the making!!!
I wonder if you have Igbo friends, if you hang out with them, if you've helped one of them before, or if you have received help from any one of them, no matter how small.
I fear greatly for this Nation! Even if she breaks up along regional lines, I still fear, the hate, and the propaganda, the lies that will continue!
This Igbo, Yoruba "thing" scares me! I regret choosing this Country as my first!






*@topic, mutual respect is what is needed!
For those who think no sane person should be outdoors from 10pm to 4am, y'all need a serious re-education. FYI, not all jobs are 9-5, emergencies also abound!

I was even looking forward to have someone de-mystify the Oro festival! Educate us!!
Where is maturity when it is needed most?

That is what I want to hear not some children saying people should go back to their village.

Yes what happened? The Hausas tried to make noise...they were mercilessy dealt with in Shagamu ...but the govt came in to rescue them as usual.

Hausas can't do shytee without the backing of the FG

Take your sermon to chinu achebe, i thought he said you ibos wiped the yorubas off with one fantastic burst of energy(sic). For your information the yorubas would not forfeit their cultural practices just to make some ungrateful visitors convenient

See this toad. Here in PH I personally saw two headless bodies of stubborn grasshoppers like you after the last weeklong events by the native ikwerre people. They warned everybody to stay indoors.

What happened afterward? nothing.

You can keep mouthing as long as you are doing it behind your keyboard.

I ignored their primitive native nonsense once and they came to my windows at midnight trying to frighten me.
Me?
I guess they were ignorant of my backgrounds.

All these fetish rubbish have only done more harm than good to our culture and nature and should be banned.

lakhadimar: Dont mind him. Later when they deport them back to there village they would start screaming victimisation. I dont know why they find it difficult to respect the culture of their host. moreso what would a responsible individual be doing outdoors during the hours of 10pm and 4am, the said time the oro rituals would be performed

you must be a daft for this comment you made. Aren't you aware of the traffic situation in lagos. some people get stocked in traffic till very late hours. Ejigbo,Ikotun are good examples if you care to know.

Well that's what I meant, it's simply another way to say go out at this time and your safety isn't guaranteed. That's an indirect way of saying the police (government) can't protect you, the rule of law doesn't stand at this point. That's completely wrong and.unacceptable

Right, he owns the land and can do whatever he wants on it until he infringes on the rights of the citizens, there's a line there bro. There are rules on how far below and above you can go when it comes to land rights.

I'm not surprised all of these is happening, Nigerians do not respect the rule of law and would rather bribe their way through it all. Even those screaming injustices are mostly for self gains, just as bad as the violators. Everyone is guilty and my advice is for you guys around the area to do anything to protect yourself and your family even if it involves following the absurd rule

That is why Nigeria is still largely uncivilized.

. Boy stop spewing trash,did the riot happen in shagamu alone..or you 4got what they did to the yorubas in kano..

And what stops you from banning it and you might as well change your handle while you're at it. Call it primitive or whatever you want to call it, but those who engineered the culture imperialism that induced your thought-process, have also moved on from the medieval belief-system, they left behind for you to hold on to. Perhaps, we can call also label your own belief-system medieval as well, nah?

Suffice to say, you're just as primitive as they're.

These ritual cultists must be arrested.
They don't have any constitutional right to make their own laws in Nigeria.
Will they stop police and military patrol at night?

When white people are using their own juju to invent internet and other awesome inventions to advance human civilization, primitive black people are using their own juju for witchcraft. And some people here are giving them thumbs up?
No wonder many people here still prefer to live in darkness and backwardness in the 21st century.

A maggot is wiser than you. Go and tell the obi of onitsha that the ofala festival is disturbig business activities

What about the Redeemee Church, Deeper life, Mountain of Fire, Nasfat etc, all having the programs on the every busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway??
and obstructing vechicular movement to other parts of Nigeria. The Oro festival organiser are even better in informing residents about the do's and dont's during the duration of their activities.

..lol which ikwerre festival are you talking abt?you saw two headless bodies and conclude dat dey were killed because dey were sturborn...pls come up with something better...

Lol

No wonder
The capital of Nigeria was moved to Abuja

What tha fck are ediotaz doing wit a fckn traditionally fckin idol?

Within the last 4years, over 5 Royal Majesties in Ekiti state have barred every fckin useless youth from parading as masquerades while their counterparts in China are busy building and schooling

I still remember one particular incidence (about 8years ago), when I nearly chop off the left arm of a useless masquerade along Omuo-Ikole road
How can I be travelling along a Federal/State road only for a useless personality to disrupt my peaceful movement all in the name of a useless fa. g.ot!

Meanwhile, its not a western or Yoruba thing... even in South South, Middle Belt.. etc.. We all witness this ill treatment...

I'm not against anyone serving whatever, for all I care, you can chop off your blo.kos and bow down in worship to "it"...
My only problem is disrupting my own agenda with your worship...
Na all this kind thing they make people they kill one another...


Thank God for my state capital - Lokoja...

All these kain useless things no dey exist...

Infact, you'll be locked up somewhere at the barrack if you dare...
