Olu317:
Late Professor Sophie Oluwole goofed on such comparison. But what can we do about it ? Nothing but to correct such.

People often writes as soon as they have little acquisition of Ifaodu knowledge, so no big deal. Meanwhile Socrates, was a bloody human being compared with spirit being. Socrates who was e'en far lesser in term of achievement as compared to odua !
Anyway it is stated in Ifaodu stanza
ifá pè
ẹni mọni ni nṣé ni
ọyẹ̀kú nlọ padaba s'alẹ̀ odò
adifá fún aridegbè tií nṣé elerè ọṣun
ọṣun òtòrò ẹ̀fọn
o kó'rè lẹyìn o dé yọyọ

Transl: ifa says
an individual who knows another hurt such easily
oyeku goes to hunt a dove down the riverside
cast divination for aridegbe who was a true devotee of risha osun
oshun the mighty risha whose strength is more than Buffalo
Cometh with abundant blessing and goodness.

When did she compare him to Odua? She compared him to Orunmila the Orisha of Wisdom and the odu ifa and he came down in human form to teach odu ifa to the people as well as philosophy she's comparing his philosophical teachings to those of Socrates it is a fair comparison

Olu317:
This statement of 401 ekiti towns under Ewuare is not true. If you disagree to it, proof it bymentionig of such towns Ewuare controlled because there are no 401 towns in Ekiti during Ewuare's era.

Statement such as this, has no record nor have truth in it but mere assumption. Bini only had access to Europen in 1480s, which actually got them in contact with Portugal King.

It was after Ewuare and during the era of Ozolua that there was a firm contact with Biniland through port of Gwatto in the land of Ekalarderan around 1485-1486.

So, it is also ideal to assert fact with written account to that effect. Oba Bini is a son to Oni Oranmiyan who happened to be adescendant Ogun, a descendant of Odua. Therefore there is no reason dragging Bini into this thread if your intent is to make it a competition as usual. Some People are from different Royal Homes at Ileife and beyond ancestrally.

The statement is 401 Yoruba and Igbo towns and it never said only Ekiti it is in Ondo, Ekiti and the Igbo groups before the Niger River so those in Delta State, Bayelsa State and Kogi State etc

RichardRexs:
He dwell most on security of the nation if he became president.
Let's be frank with ourselves. GYB has tried security wise and he deserves it. Security issue in Kogi is at 2% . He did a good job there.

2%? Where are you getting your data from? Kogi where people are being kidnapped and killed on the highways? Kogi where herdsmen and terrorists run free killing, maiming, raping and kidnapping people I pray that you recieve sense soon

SlyDev:
Yahaya Bello is smarter than the five governors of South East combined

Umahi alone has built ten times more infrastructure then Yahaya Bello does in the same amount of time. Don't be foolish

You will fix Nigeria abi? But ordinary potholes in Kogi State you cannot fix, to even create industry in Kogi State is a challenge for you

Just know that if you boycott the election APC will win

It is Moghalu Or Peter Obi or nothing we will not take any other leader and we certainly won't take Tinubu or Atiku

Just30:
no it's not based off the bible.
It is simply based out of tradition and custom (in Africa), in Europe, it is based off the bible and in the middle East, it is off the Quran.

There Is nothing like gender concept in pre colonial Africa and homosexual nonsense is not a gender issue as there are only 2 genders.

There's no custom against it in Africa every single African person who's against it is either Christian, Muslim, Or an Atheist who grew up in either of those two religions people who actually practice African spirituality don't believe in that and by your logic Africans already decided that African spirituality was demonic and that's why it's demonized there's no custom against homosexuality and stop trying to make it seem that way

Just30:
Did anyone mention crimilising people according to the bible?

Is the bible the place where criminal codes come from?

Homosexuality is criminalised due to customs... A society customs is where they generate their criminal codes...

the stigma agaisnt homosexuality is literally based off of the bible because it was from the bible that society started viewing it as an abomination go and study gender concepts in pre colonial Africa and see how there was no stigma or discrimination against it

Kazikazi:
No its cheaper.Diesel engines are costly.
May be u don't understand how emu's oparate vs diesel engine

Diesel engines are way cheaper then electric engines what are you talking about? And it costs more to generate and distribute electricity then it does to buy diesel and put it into an engine I feel you have a gross misunderstanding about everything

delpee:
Ibadan has many large modern estates. It seems the only portion you've seen is the ancient part of the city which is more prominent online. That's where the old family compounds are. Also the Palace and old markets. There's a thread here on NL depicting some of the new areas.

I know there's 'modern' parts but majority of the population in Ibadan lives in those areas and some sort of regeneration campaign needs to be under taken in such a manner that the houses are repainted, checked for structural stability, provided with electricity, water, drainage and toilets then allow for provision of sidewalks over the open drainages I feel the thing that makes the building look so bad is how dirty the exterior and it's surroundings are if trees are planted around them, sidewalks built and they're cleaned then Ibadan would look like a totally new city

Kazikazi:
Its only u and your ghana who thinks electric trains are costlier than diesel.But Tz,SA,Egypt, Morocco, USA, Ethiopia, Japan,China, Germany,and all big boys don't do diesel crap,they are all in 'electric mode'

It is more expensive but it is more efficient those countries have the money to maintain but most African countries don't right now

Kazikazi:
Buying wigs and lightening creams is not beauty! These your Bantu women are big buyers of those funny stuff.I know some can go for weeks without washing the dirty wigs
Hohohohohohohoho

There's no Bantus in Nigeria dumbass

Here is an accurate prediction for how the Anambra Guber election will most likely end

We'll start off with APGA

APGA Has split into four factions with three of those four factions attempting a merger with ADC and that move would greatly weaken APGA and reduce the numbers that they'd have gotten in the poll but luckily for them they fielded Soludo an extremely popular candidate amongst Ndi Anambra and they still have the reputation and name which can carry them along for this election

APC: With many scandals following Andy Uba and the increasing anti igbo sentiment flowing out of APC it is becoming increasingly clear that APC will not win the election they may end up winning a few LGAs but for the most part they really cannot win the election especially now with the court cases surrounding Andy Uba he may even be pulled out of the race

PDP: Their candidate is unknown he has no chance and PDP stakeholders in Anambra have even started supporting the candidate of ZLP

ADC: They've gotten increased attention due to the rumours of a merger between them and a few factions of APGA and also due to their candidates new idea of involving the Umunna into governance for accountability and proper community based development a lot of people have lauded his ideas and believe he will be the next candidate but he isn't that known but it's left for election day to see the outcome

YPP: He's a thug but he will still manage to win his LGA and that's basically the end of it he has no chance at winning the election

ZLP: Their candidate has brought good ideas about development and industry in Anambra and has even gotten the support of some PDP stakeholders but ZLP is the least known political party in Anambra between the major groups vying for the seat at Awka so as far as i'm concerned he has no chance

A: Their candidate is extremely popular and his grassroot movement and media project was very well organized and the most likely case is that he will win a few LGAs and come very close to getting the seat but i'm not sure if he has enough support to be able to win it seeing as he isn't as popular as the APGA candidate


In conclusion i'd say that the parties in winning order will be between these three options

APGA
APC
PDP
A
ADC
YPP
ZLP


APC
APGA
ADC
A
ZLP
PDP
YPP

ADC
APGA
ZLP
APC
PDP
YPP


Those are just my opinion and for me the first or third option will be the final outcome of the Anambra election

abdelrahman:
I always thinking about it every.

One day like 90 percent buildings in Yorubaland would be demolished because of unplanned structures

And especially in cities like Ibadan unless they decide on building a new modern area outside of the main area but it's either they repaint the houses and give them proper roofing or they just demolish them all and put modern buildings in their place it's the only way for the cities to actually look good

Lovelive:
Says who?
On this matter, Nigeria People decide not you.

Nigerian people can decide but is ADC large enough to challenge APC and PDP in the next 16 months and actually bring proper change to Nigeria?

abdelrahman:
u right

That place look shitty,we need new housing system in Nigeria,the one that will have access to road and it would have trees,lawn and pavement

Exactly these places are too densely packed and more space should be given around the roads for proper drainage and side walk pavement if a good leader were to come to Nigeria a lot of people would be angry because a lot of houses and buildings will have to be destroyed for the place to look good I hope we can have a full reformation of the system and we can have an end to open drainage movement scheduled for 2030 because they're really becoming a nuisance

You guys are really supporting the construction of basic roads? When you should be looking for urban renewal in Lokoja, housing units, factories, water treatment plants, improving the river niger waterfront or better yet why not build some schools and hospitals a few roads that don't even add up to 1000km in a state like Kogi isn't something to celebrate stop admiring mediocrity and vote for someone better

juman:
You must be joking.
But anyway politics is matter of choice.
Anybody can win in election.

I will say soludo is more fit as president of Nigeria.

Moghalu and Peter Obi are a better fit for presidency

Soludo will most likely win the election but ADC might surprise him or APC with their thug

ADCnig:
ADC is the solution to all our problems in Nigeria so let's all come together to support ADC to Aso Rock come 2023

What makes ADC so special in Nigeria and what structure do they have to even be able to deliver in the presidential election they're too small at this point in time and they'll most likely snub any mergers

garfield1:
They were court cases against obaseki yet he still won.they were more than 4 court cases against soludo

Soludo already won those cases and he was popular before them and now after them but Andy Uba has been a lot less popular and the court cases could further damage his reputation

All I hope is that ADC win their plan for Umunna development makes me hopeful that things could change and that proper development could reach all nooks and crannies of Anambra but currently Ndi Anambra seem sure that they just want Soludo

And then there's also articles like this and others that i've made threads about which again make me question of whether or not Soludo will actually coast to victory easily but ultimately we'll see in the next 2 weeks

cc garfield1

Would you mind if I made a similar thread on a different date with my own opinions? They won't be as informed or even at an LGA basis but i'd still like to share my opinions in the format you did here

garfield1:
Court cases will not affect uba,both cases are watery and is of no moment.it goes to no issue...

Again,you are contradicting yourself.you claim apga is divided yet you still feel they will win instead of ADC

The court cases may be watery but they're still damaging Uba's case as governor

They're divided but the people still mainly know about APGA and Soludo is a very popular candidate if ADC were to win it would be very slight win other APGA and not a clear one

I've seen many reports of ADC claiming to have absorbed PPA and also to be close to absorbing three factions of APGA but until those deals are solidified them winning in Anambra isn't definite

juman:
Any right thinking should vote for soludo.
He is by far better than the other candidates

I beg to differ both the ADC and ZLP candidates would be better then him

DeadCountry:
Are you not a fool? A daft and dumb one for that matter. Which election are you talking about? Haven't you been hearing of no election in all Biafraland? All of you that want to stu[ipidly and myopically continue to legitimize injustices in Biafraland because of the N2,000 and bag of 5kg rice that you will get from your political paymasters will not live to eat the useless rice you are hoping to get. We shall see how you will come out on election day to vote when people are sitting at home, and let's see if thunder will not fire you on that day. Umu ewu.

No election in Biafraland yet there's more then 2.5 million registered voters more then 900k then there were last year

garfield1:
This is just tentative, it is not the final predictions.between 2-5 of Nov,I'll come out with a final analysis.normally,the election should be a walkover for apga but a lot of factors are working against their victory...
Apga is heavily fictionalized into three or four factions.obiano wife supported hon umeoji.obiano is not vying for a second term so he will not be desperate or overtly committed to delivering soludo.apga is divided and apc in anambra is united.a lot of heavyweights from the pdp and apga have decamped to apc...ipob will surely declare a sit-at- home on 7 Nov further weakening apga's slim chances.it took a personal plea by obiano to buhari in 2017 for buhari not to interfere.apc are resolved to take anambra by all means possible this time..


Let us do a lga by lga analysis..

Aguata lga: this is the home of the apc,apga and pdp candidate.senator Andy will easily rig for himself here except in the wards of ozigbo and soludo..

Nnewi north:the home lga of ypp candidate ifeanyi ubah.he will win here.

Nnewi south: a comfortable win for senator ubah based on spillover effect from nnewi north..

Ekwusigo: hon onyebuchi offor who just joined apc alongside his brother sir chief emeka offor dominate this lga.they will deliver here for apc except maybe in ozubulu.

Orumba north: narrow win for maduka

Orumba south:massive win for maduka.

Ihiala:a narrow win for a senator soludo


Anaocha: the obi factor should help saeal a win for ozigbo..

Njikoka:a narrow win for Andy uba..

Dunukofia: sir Arthur eze who is feuding with obiano will forcefully deliver for apc..

Idemili south:apc running mate who is from here with ngige will deliver the lga...

Idemili north: the ochiaga of idemili and the ayaka of abatete hon ifeanyi ibezi who joined apc and is now the deputy campaign director dominates idemili north.he crushed the selfish and elitist chidoka brothers in the 2019 polls before they manipulated the courts to rig him out..he will easily deliver here though Pdp will take obosi..

Awka south: APga will win here.

Awka north: narrow win for apga

Onitsha north ;hon Lynda ikpeazu will narrowly deliver here for apc...

Onitsha south:narrow win for apga

Anambra east: obiano will deliver for soludo

Anambra west:another win for apga

Ogbaru: senator oduah controls here and will deliver for apc by any means possible

Oyi:apga should win here

Ayamelum: narrow win for apc

In summary,apc will win 9 lgas,apga 7,ypp 2,accord party two and pdp 1.

If you actuallly believe that Andy Uba will win in Anambra then you need to double check your sources

APGA split into four factions and if you go and read one of my threads, three of those factions are currently trying to merge into ADC and support their candidate Nwankpo you leaving him out of the equation already shows that you haven't read anything

APC has increasingly gotten an anti Igbo name in the SE and now with George Moghalu taking Andy Uba to court other rigged primaries and another group taking him to court for fake SSCE or WAEC documents is already reducing his chances of winning because even if he does win one of those accusations will catch up with him and the runner up will take power

PDP has also split apart and multiple stakeholders in PDP are actively supporting Okonkwo of ZLP instead of the actual PDP candidate which is why as far as i'm concerned in this election APC and PDP won't be winning any LGAs this will be an election or rather a battle of the third force parties

APGA will still come out on top in the end but i'm sure Accord, ZLP and ADC will win at least one LGA respectively

jl115:
cool story bro

I thought you had 3 kids and were in your 40s damn

EmptyGarden:
Yes we do, but power changes people... It deforms them.

Which good leader have we actually elected? Power hasn't changed anyone they've been corrupt but we voted them in anyway look at Obasanjo we saw him as a military general in the 70s yet we let him get power again and Buhari who destroyed the economy and began the Japa phenomenon in Nigeria back in the 80s yet we thought it was a good idea to vote him in again

He cannot win he has no support even within PDP a lot of their members have gone ahead and support ZLP both APC and PDP are dead in Nigeria

Appisko:
2020 Africa Infrastructure Index Report : Ghana ranked 12th, 2nd best in West Africa

After who? Ivory Coast?

EmptyGarden:
And you can't join politics without becoming a criminal.

Yes you can we just don't vote in the right people into power to develop the country

Kingsley Moghalu, a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has blamed the failure of government for a turnaround of the nation’s strength and asset into threat.

In a statement, yesterday, titled: ‘The Future of Nigeria’s Youth, Promise of a Moghalu Presidency’, the presidential aspirant of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) said: “Nigeria’s young men and women face many fundamental challenges. The strength of their numbers (nearly 70 per cent of our population) is supposed to be the country’s most productive asset; but the failure of governance has turned this into a threat, and the #EndSARS movement has witnessed efforts to silence the voices of our young people, physically and on social media including the ‘Twitter ban’.

“A year ago, Nigerian youth organised themselves in the peaceful #EndSARS protests to demand freedom from police brutality. Quite sadly, the bravery of the young compatriots was met with even more brutality. Like millions of fellow citizens, and indeed the youth, today, I especially remember those who paid the ultimate price for freedom during the protest. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten or in vain.”

In solidarity with their struggles, Moghalu unveiled his five-point agenda for the youth, if elected as President in 2023. They are start-ups funding scheme, transitional unemployment support, inclusive governance, leadership mentoring and intergenerational equity council, which will be a policy advisory body that will be tasked with embedding the youth in the economy and governance of the country.

“The council will work to bring into reality the promises of the National Youth Policy. As part of its responsibilities, the council will memorialise the 2020 #EndSARS protest and restore civic engagement and the right to protest as provided for in the Nigerian constitution,” he said.
