It’s Yoruba. The slaves who went to Brazil carried it there and it’s a staple in Brazil. Infact the one in Brazil is cleaner and has smoother grains. They mix it with palm oil too. They even put it on beans like we Yoruba’s like to do. There is also plenty Akara to go with it if you want to soak it.

It's still expensive chief. You can speak with those in the construction industry. Bricks is not cheap.

There's been discussions about it in the construction thread here on nairaland. It's been a long time since I last visited, so do not have the patience to search it out. But you can look it up and see for yourself.

It’s because people who can do it are not a lot. This is where Nigeria government should step in through skill acquisition as opposed to trying to teach people how to do Fx trading. Even you, can make all the bricks for your own house. We are blessed with the right soil for it. You can’t blame artisans who take advantage of Nigerians ignorance and desire for luxurious things. Plus if they don’t put big price on it, you will look down on it. Whereas that brick can last over 100years with little issues. It will reduce electricity use because it keeps the house cool when it’s hot outside. See a simple way to make it. Very very easy. But to reinforce it and make it strong, it’s better to treat it with fire. This should be the easiest and cheapest way and we should be building most of our houses this way. China even use the same clay to make roof sheets and they have lasted 100’s of years. In fact you can lift the bricks and tiles from old houses and reuse, that is how strong and durable they are. And they are fireproof. All this soil we walk on and shit on everyday.

PapalsBull:
What's the cost of this compare to cement?

That is made from the earth you are currently standing on.

emmyN:
There is no indication that this is cheaper than the concrete blocks we use. I think it's even more expensive.

This is the red soil that full Igboland and the whole Nigeria. Right under our feet. You still de complain. Something you can actually build with your own hands. Na why government de gba you. How much do you think it will cost government to build two bedroom bungalow with cement compared to red brick you can mix with sand, put in frame and fire in a kiln?

Zico5:
What of the massive stealing going on under this government. Tell me where they keep the subsidy money they promised to use for the development. Tell me why they are still borrowing when all loopholes have been blocked

There was no money for subsidy. They were borrowing to pay subsidy. No wonder you are easily deceived. You barely read and cannot comprehend what is going on.

Zico5:
Politicians are the most selfish and wicked individuals on earth. The better part of the hell should be dedicated to them. I wonder how these people sleep at night knowing fully well they are subjecting masses to untoward pains and anguish.

A lot of them are psychopath. They don’t care. Instead of Bello to tell us who was killing people in Southern Kaduna and where Dadiyata is.

Iran certainly have people within the country that want to be free. For Israel to be able to target these commanders in their room. Lol. This is not the work of only Mossad. Rat inside house too dey. Make Israel come help us enter North bomb sponsors.

That woman on exile in London with Caribbean passport was just one, out of 100 thieves stealing on a massive scale during Jonathan’s government. Even Jonathan let us know that stealing is not corruption. Jonathan and all the people that served during his time deserve to be arrested. Just let that man enjoy his theft in peace o.

Money that children in the North need to eat and go to school. They are spending it on tourism in Saudi to go and touch one stone. Africans make una they think. So strange.

Kemetian:
Bamboo can be made safer with:
- Fire-retardant treatments (e.g., borax-boric acid solutions).
- Plaster or mud coatings over walls.
- Metal roofing instead of thatch.
- Building codes and spacing to reduce fire spread risk.

All those coatings can cause cancer. Not necessary if we have mud all around us.

Better to use mud bricks that are fired in a kiln than use bamboo. We have the right mud all around us. You just need to train the builders on how to use it. It’s the best type of house for our climate. It is used in other African countries too.

CoronaVirusPro:
Aliko Dangote needs to submit himself for a DNA test. That guy reasons like a Caucasian.

No wonder he was able to have outstanding children despite his wealth.

Why I always respect Mike Adenuga and Aliko. Those guys are tough Dads. You will have no chance to be mad.

You mean he reasons like a genocidal maniac?

franchasofficia:
Ugbo too means bush in Igbo dialect.


There seems to be some atom of truth in the books, it could be the Bush people which the writers attributed as Igbos and they are not wrong because you said there is Igbo that Ile Ife people did encountered and I listened to a Yoruba historian at Oba Sijuade palace in Ile Ife tell the story you quoted, not hearsay.



So tell your people attacking Igbos to borrow some brain, everything no be gragra, Tinubu's politics is definitely misleading Yorubas and it will not end well in future if you guys don't slow down.

Ugbo people are not Ibo people. Lol. Moremi sacrificed herself to learn their secret of war but they spoke the same language as her. Relax and cling to your 5 townships with pride. This has nothing to do with Tinubu. You should be ashamed that your authors are trying to rewrite history instead of this long and senseless write up you have up there.

franchasofficia:
There is some truth in the book as told by Ooni Palace during the reign of Oba Sijuade and retold even by Moremi Secondary school if you know ile ife.


The Yoruba historian back then told us that Moremi saved Ile-Ife from Igbo people invasion, how?

They said some strangers always invaded Ile-Ife dressed in a masquerade outfit made with dried grass.


The Yoruba historians said these strangers kept attacking Ife people and kept winning them and making away with their belongings until Moremi, a very beautiful Ile-Ife daughter with a sparkling light skin complexion volunteered to help her people unmask the invaders by making herself available at the place the invaders usually attacked, and when they saw her, they carried her along with other Ile-Ife indigenes they always go along with, and when they got to their place, their king saw Moremi and liked her because of her extreme beauty and married her.


From there, Moremi was taken to the Igbo invaders King palace where Moremi then discovered that those invaders were not spirits like Ile-Ife people believed but were ordinary humans dressed in masquerade costume.


It took Moremi some years to study this and as soon as she got the secret, she escaped back to Ile-Ife and leaked the secret to Ile-Ife kingdom and they prepared and waited for the Igbo invaders and when they attacked, Ile-Ife warriors attacked them back without fear again and defeated them. Oranmiyan was among the warriors.

That is why Ife people celebrate Moremi so much with Oranmiyan too.

This very history was told by a Yoruba historian to my own hearing at Oba Sijuade palace in Ile Ife.



So federal government should leave the shalaye and leave the writers telling their own version of what they heard like me, e no concern Igbos.



A core Yoruba should respond and deny this history I just told now

Igbo means bush or forest in Yoruba. That’s why some Yoruba groups have Igbo in their name signifying they are forest dwellers. More I encountered the Ugbo people in current day Ondo.

Who no like better thing. After destroying SE. they think the solution is just to steal a whole region and continue where they stopped in SE. something de do this people . This is more than ancestral problem. Lmao.

richiemcgold:
Where was Peter obi during this time of serious activism?

Appointed by Abacha. Chopping and cleaning mouth at the ports.

That's less than $1bn for a national oil company



This is a lie

NNPC has been posting profits since 2021

I'm shocked you folks that supported Buhari fanatically all through his 8 years are lying against him now on the little achievements he had

A everything you de turn upside down and you no fit read o. This profit is for April 2025. Same profit Buhari declared for the whole of 2021z continue criticizing blindly with anger and hatred.

Profit of 748 billion? That’s not bad na.

It’s better in the day so you don’t accuse them of killing you at night. What happens to the people stuck in locations outside their house, if it’s done at night?

I don’t blame him. Plateau has really suffered from insecurity my terrorists. If I was him and a President came in and made that possible. I will betray everybody to ensure my reign is peaceful and my people are safe.

Baba de play skit . How una go notice am and even compose song for am? Una even make am blow with the song. He got pity votes, protest votes and even the ones who thought he won’t last there.

Wetin concern us with SA people Which mod push this thing go front page? SA no get their own website?

You kúkú don't have power to lower Islamic progress. Cry and cry what will be will be. Thousands of Christian crusades has never stopped Islam progress. In your opened eyes, we will achieve more and you will feel endless pain as your ancestors had in the past.

We see what has been achieved in all the sharia region and nations. Death, poverty, backwardness and miserable life. Which progress are you talking about. Point one country. Don’t even try the progressive Arab countries who have run away from that. Which of your Yoruba ancestor was beheading people and cutting their limbs? You better check in to your nearest institution. A little video for you, if you don’t mind watching:

Oshiomole has forgotten his days of poverty and dirty safari suits. He has now become god. Na wa o. Whose fault is it that you missed your flight? Never trust a self righteous person. If they have power, what they will do!

David Hundeyin will not die again o. We will now rename him Kokumo. He better be grateful if he live as long as Jesutega with his lamentations everyday.

olayinka63:
Oga read to understand. Every legal system is prone to mis interpretation by judges. Either Sharia or western law. The fault is on the judges, lawyers and law enforcement agents involved. So should we kuku abolish all laws because of this error?
None Muslims especially Christians will throw their reasoning brain to the dust whenever Islamic affairs is involved.

Move to the North with all your family members and stay there is Sharia is the only way you can live your life. SW is not a Muslim region and have nothing in common with Sharia. Culturally we have our ways. Worship your God in your house or move to North. SW has Christians, Muslims and traditional worshippers. So if you are obsessed with Sharia and have no value for your freedom or progress, carry yourself go North.

You are ignorant. You are misleading other ignorant people.

FX scammers plenty sha. You think we are all tatas here? When I did FX trading you were still in primary school. Imagine all these babies and scammers on NL. I am sure you people are the ones that pitched this to FG. You are here defending this scam with your life. Even betting is better than FX.
