1. Ile Olorisa (Obatala family) ought to be the royal house in Ife but Obatala lost the crown to Oduduwa who suppressed his influence and even exiled him. However, his level of influence and spiritual power at that point made Oduduwa and his group seek for his help and regocnized his place in Ife scheme of things. So, the Modewa Ife (Obalufe etc) play the part of selection of Ooni candidate and we play the role of spiritual fortification and installation because we own the asiri of the 'etutu' and stuff to the ade.

2. Yes, we are the folks referred to as Isoro. Isoro is the spiritual arm of Ife while the Modewa are the political arm. Isoro is made up of Obatala, Obarese, Orisa ikire and Orisaoko - with Obatala as the head of Isoro.

3. Yes, I did. Left Owo to Ibadan and then to Ife where I've been, although exhausted.

Obatala temple at Idita has an old mud structure inside its premises - Obatala's Iranje Oko palace. The artefact is there. I suppose you know Mokuro towards NTA axis along Ilesa road where Esinmirin river is; that was the Ilaje/Mahin/Ugbo settlement with Osangangan Obamakin as their king. Obatala was exiled to that part and Obamakin stepped down for him to be their king till he was apologized to and brought back to Igbo Itapa (Iranje Ile) and the Ugbos migrated to their present Ondo settlement in protest.

Story yen po but I'm glad you know certain places.

Thanks Bawse. Agba O Ni Tan Lor'ile.

When I saw picture of New Ooni coming out of a forest, I thought to myself, could it be Igbo Itapa where the coronation rites was performed. But I never asked you because I know it's an Asiri, I'm not an Initiate and we are on internet.

Traditional religion is really interesting. I grew up watching Olojo Festival on Ilare. I was so glad the day I touched late Ooni inside Olodo Compound. I touched his right arm, I was glad and told everyone. That should be early 90s.

I remember Edi festival and various festivals.

Isese Lagba. Tradition is Supreme.

O daaro.

Ife is home to all of us, I really dig that.

I see your taste in music is synonymous to your taste in ladies - no actual restriction within a premise as long as it is good . For me, it is important that the lady is not from a certain region in Nigeria. Never dated outside my ethnic group.

Passing the Osun ones is not a problem ny duke but would you be able to deal with their culture mind state?

Katsumoto:
Is it necessary for a Yoruba son to be governor in a state where Yorubas are a minority? Otherwise they risk being accused of what they accuse others of doing. If Faleke is wanted by a majority, then all well and good but sneaking in through a technicality will create problems for him and the Yoruba.

I really don't get why Nigerian people always want someone from their ethnic group to be governor/president.

[size=16pt]FG Commissions Hydrocarbon Plant In Ogun State[/size]


[img]http://www.epc-celle.de/wp-content/uploads/Erdgas1-big.jpg[/img]


The Nigerian government has commissioned a Hydrocarbon plant in Ikenne, Ogun State, to produce high grade Hydrocarbon refrigerants which are to be used in the Refrigerants Services sectors.

The plant was built in a renewed effort to ensure the phasing out of Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) by the year 2040 in line with Montreal Protocol agreement on Substances that Deplete the Ozone layer to which Nigeria is a party.

At the commissioning of the plant, the Minister of State for Environment, Mr Ibrahim Jibril, said that the plant would greatly mitigate the negative consequences on Nigeria’s ecological system and human health occasioned by the use of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS).

He stated that the first stage implementation of the Hydrochlorofluorocarbons Phase-out Management Plan (HPMP), which commenced in 2011, was expected to be completed before the end of the year.

“The hydrocarbon pilot project is one of the main components of the project and it is designed to demonstrate the feasibility of replacing the current use of HCFCs refrigerant in the Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning (RAC) sector with the Hydrocarbon refrigerant-based technology,” Mr Jibril explained.

The Minister further said that the ministry would ensure that stakeholders in the sector nationwide would be properly trained in the use of the new technology.

Mr Jibril stated that economic development had largely been unsustainable because it had been supported by the use of hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals which unfortunately were damaging the ecosystem and harmful to human health.

He maintained that, with the commissioning of the plant, there would be a remarkable economic development, as the project had the potential of creating jobs, providing foreign exchange and building local capacity to produce energy efficient low Global warming Potential (GWPs) gases among other benefits.

The Minister further called on the private sector to invest in the operation and marketing of the hydrocarbon refrigerants products, stressing that the Government was considering harnessing the products of the Hydrocarbon plant (Butane), as a source of clean fuel for cooking and an alternative for firewood.

It is really not a great news because it will end up being a tool for mind conditioning and further programming of the minds of the blacks, in a form of pseudo-colonialisation.


The pros are that it will keep propagating the language, promoting our rich culture and heritage our forefathers handed down to us. It will alos give us an international pedestal to tell our story in our own way.

Raumdeuter that school was built with 750million naira

Superstar abeg tell 'em ... Even if abok1 be church rat, he must get transistor radio ..

Southerners often wonder how they manage to congregate & ready for war, it is cos they have foreknowledge of what is buzzing in the polity...

Seems you talked abot Yobe sometime ago, Potiskum or Damaturu? Rest of Yobe is



Ilekehd , aareonakakanfo, ramdeuter , katsumoto , mayoroflagos , onreflection , iyaiode , et al, are you gentlemen & ladies familiar with any hausa/ fulani person, beyond the stereotype / rhetorics ...

Zimoni , I nor go ask you, you & the sabo crew already don share boundary.

raumdeuter:


Is it too much? or adequate? WHat would be the cost of building that sort of school in Africa without embezzlement? (How much do private organisations use to build schools, How much did Oprah build her South African school)

WHat is the size of the school, How many rooms and floors, what other amenity are there in the schools that would have cost money

What is the cost of building in Nigeria say a 5 bedroom duplex, and furnishing it. Now lets extrapolate to a school To verify the degree of contract inflation in this


I would rather they build schools with modern equipments that just pay salary with it

Assuming the average worker salary is 30k which I believe would be more than this(18k is the minimum wage i.e wage of the least worker who joins the work force today) 750M would pay a month salary of 25,000 workers. whereas this school if it was built with good materials would train 5 generation of good students

laudate:


The Hausa and the Fulani group are a pretty interesting lot. I am not sure if it is still possible to have pure Hausa indigenes, as there has been a lot of acculturation and inter-marriage in the North. There are so many different Northern ethnic groups that speak fluent Hausa (e.g. Kanuri, Sayyawa, Bachama, Fulani etc.) I am not familiar with Yobe or Adamawa. But I have spent some time in Kaduna, Kano, Niger & Kebbi states.

On one hand, you have the rich, well-educated folks who form the bulk of the upper class. Many of them have 2nd and 3rd degrees from Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Egyptian and Middle East universities. You would be amazed to see their hijab-wearing women have had the best kind of education from the poshest schools around. Religion is a strong factor, and even though there are a few Fulani Christians, most Fulbe believe that being a true Fulani goes hand in hand, with being a devoted Muslim.
Many of them speak fluent Hausa....come to think of it, I have never met a Fulani person who could not speak Hausa, even though I have met a number of Fulani that cannot speak their indigenous language.

Respect for authority is entrenched, and the monarchy in various communities, are revered. The wealthy families live in opulence, but there is also a large educated middle-class, who are fairly comfortable and content with their earnings.

At the other end of the spectrum, are the really poor uneducated citizens who live from hand-to-mouth, on a daily basis. They have benefactors, and so they gather each day in front of the houses of their benefactors in order to receive a daily stipend, or a daily handout for a meal. They are the ones that can easily be used as tools by the rich. Due to their lack of education, they can easily be brainwashed.
Among these lot, you will find the almajiris. Again, religion plays a decisive role among this lot. There are also animists that practise the traditional religions, but I have only met just a few. The politicians and extremist preachers often find ready tools, among these poor lots.

What am I saying?? You have Hausa, Fulani, kanuri etc artisans and professionals, just like you have down south. They are just as widely diverse as the southerners when it comes to their daily lives. Ah, I am not sure I am making a lot of sense here, because some of these things are just so hard to describe.

And yes....a lot of them are hooked to their radio, and also TV sets. They love Kannywood just as much as they enjoy watching Nollywood movies. Ask their women!
