The monkey orchids flowers...... pic 1, 2


This incredible orchid is called – can you guess?
– the Bee Orchid (Ophrys apifera ). It resembles a
female bumblebee visiting a pink flower to
attract the attention of male bees. Thinking
another one of their kind is there, they try to
mate with it. In the process they get covered in
the orchid’s pollen and end up spreading it
around as they fly and pollinating other flowers
as they go. You can find these amazing orchids
scattered about England, Ireland, and Wales. pics 3

Nigeria Historical Facts
Who Are The Egbas??
.
The story of Abeokuta, the abode of the Egbas (and Owus),
started with their liberation from the sovereignty of the
Alaafin of Oyo Empire, to which the Egbas had belonged.
The Liberation took place between 1775 and 1780, under the
leadership of Lisabi, a resident of Igbehin who was born in
Itoku. He organized an insurgent movement disguised under
the name of Egbe Aaro Tradition Mutual Aid Society.
Lisabi later used the society to free the Egba by organizing
the simultaneous killing of the Ajeles or Ilaris in all Egba
settlements in 1780, starting from Igbehin. In all, more than
600 llaris or Ajeles were wiped out in one day. Ilaris were
the representatives of the Alaafin of Oyo and collectors of
the tributes paid to the Alaafin from all territories under the
dominion of Oyo Empire.
The Ajeles or Ilaris generally behaved like an Army of
Occupation in the places they administered. Their tyrannical
rules marked them out as instruments for the oppression
and suppression of the people. It was this authoritarian rule
of the Alafin and reckless lifestyle of the Ilaris in Egbaland
that resolved Lisabi and his peers to bring an end to the evil.
The adoption of the universally popular Aaro system of
cooperative by the Egbe Ologun (Arms Bearers Club) of
Lisabi was the strategy he used to plot against the Ilaris in
his Igbehin town. All the other Egba towns rose and killed
the Ilaris in their midst in an almost simultaneous
coordination!
As soon as the news reached metropolitan Oyo the Alaafin
wasted no time in dispatching an Army to crush the Egba
rebellion. This was already anticipated in the Lisabi plan and
the Oyo army of vengeance was routed and the freedom of
the Egbas established. This episode occurred between 1775
and 1780 in the Egba forest.
This unity and cooperation among the numerous Egba
forest settlements was very short lived, their lack of
cooperation and unified direction later resulting in their
being completely routed at the advent of the Yoruba Wars
triggered at Apomu market near Orile Owu.
Much later around 1829, Lamodi of Igbehin and Balogun of
the Egbas living in Maye’s camp in Ibadan, decided that the
Egbas should escape from Maye’s bondage. The Egbas had
heard about Abeokuta in their quest for a place to settle in.
They sent Chief Sobookun, the Baamokun of Ilugun, and
others to bring a handful of earth from there for divination,
and the result was propitious.
The first batch to arrive in Abeokuta consisted of Egba
Alake, Oke Ona, and Gbagura, in that order. Later, Olufakun
led Owu to Abeokuta, while others soon followed.
(NOTE: It is known that an Owu-Apomu warrior by the name
of Sangojimi Gudugba and his group were also at the head
of that pioneering refugee team from Ibadan led by Sodeke).
Lamodi lost his life in battle at a river crossing while trying
to prevent his first son, Osota, from being captured by
Maye’s army, who were pursuing the Egba. Sodeke, the
Seriki of the Egbas succeeded him and in 1830 led the Egba
Alake into Abeokuta. Balogun Olunloye, the Balogun Ilugun
led Ogba Oke-Ona while Oluwole Agbo, Balogun Ojo
Gbagura led the Gbagura to Abeokuta.
An Itoko chief named Idowu Liperu had earlier been living at
the settlement. He had crossed the Ogun River and settled
on a farmland where three hunters by name Jibulu, Ose and
Olunle joined him. Unlike, Liperu who erected a house with
the assistance of the then Olubara Lafa the three hunters
lodged in caves under the Olumo Rock. They had earlier
assisted Sobookun to retrieve the soil samples from around
the Olumo Rock.
Later, Adagba and others moved to the rock to join Liperu
and the three hunters, who had settled there. Adagba was a
brave man who had his farmland located very close to the
rock. The settlement was called Oko Adagba, the initial
name of Abeokuta. Olumo means ‘built by the Lord’ – its
naturally furnished apartments being its caves! Another
interpretation of Olumo is ‘Oluwa Fimo’ meaning God puts
an end to the hostility against the Egbas. Abeokuta is also
known as ‘Abe Olumo’ – a settlement under the rock.
Between 1830 and the turn of the century, the settlers in
Abeokuta were forced to fight several wars mostly for the
survival of the emerging settlement. In 1832, the Ijebu Remo
people provoked the new settlers into taking arms against
several Ijebu Remo towns in the Owiwi war. In 1834, an
attempted Ibadan invasion also challenged them into a war
which resulted in the heavy defeat of the Ibadan army at the
Battle of Arakanga which manifested the potency and
indispensability of the warriors of the Owu settlers who had
only recently been convinced by Sodeke to settle with them
in order to boost the new settlement’s defences!
In 1842, the settlers took the offensive against the Ota
people in order to ensure free movement through Ota
territory on their route to Lagos for firearms. This led to
another war in 1844 when they attacked Ado under the Owu
war general, Gbalefa, for assisting the Ota people two years
earlier. The same year, the Dahomeans, under King Gezo,
invaded Abeokuta but were repulsed. The Dahomey army
repeated the invasion in 1851 and suffered the devastating
defeat of their largely female ‘Amazon’ warriors who were
pursued all the way to the outskirts of their kingdom!
In 1849, Abeokuta attacked Ibarapa for waylaying the Egba
in their territory. Among other wars fought by Abeokuta
were the Ijebu-Ere War in 1851, and the Ijaye War of
1860-1862, and the Makun War of 1862-1864, as well as a
few others. In most of these encounters, they emerged
victorious – although they suffered their own reverses in
some as well.
After the demise of Sodeke, Abeokuta had no leader for
quite a number of years. The administration of the town was
left in the hands of chiefs like Ogunbona the Balogun of
Ikija, Okukenu the Sagbua of Ake, Somoye the Seriki, who
later became Bashorun in succeeding Apati, Bada of Kemta,
and others.
The Egbas in an effort to reunite from this leadership
fractionalization elected to install an Oba, and the lot fell on
Okukenu, the Sabua of Ake and head of Egba Ogboni cult.
An industrious woodcarver, he was installed the Alake of
Ake on August 8, 1854.
A few months later in 1855, the first Olowu in Abeokuta, Oba
Adeyanju Pawu from the Otileta Royal lineage was also
crowned!

Ondo State Trauma and Surgical Centre

The Ondo State Trauma and Surgical Centre is located within the Medical Village in Ondo Town about 4 kilometers from the city of Akure and 116 kilometres from Benin.

It is a rapidly evolving surgical specialty based centre aimed at providing world-class tertiary comprehensive surgical services to the people of Ondo State, surrounding environs and Nigeria in General.

It is part of a comprehensive medical village, borne out of the desire of the Governor of Ondo State, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, to make specialized healthcare services readily available to the people of the state where they live, work and play and also to provide world-class, tertiary specialized surgical and emergency care which adheres to the best international practices within an integrated healthcare system.

The Medical Village also plays host to the Mother and Child Hospital, Kidney Care Centre, the Gani Fawehinmi Diagnostic Centre and the University of Medical Sciences (First of its kind in Africa). There is also a state-of-the-art emergency Communication Centre, a Histopathology and Forensic Centre which are yet to fully take off.

Ondo State Trauma and Surgical Centre commenced clinical and surgical services on 28thNovember 2013 with the following specialties; Orthopeadics and Trauma, Plastic Surgery, ENT, Anaesthesia and General surgery. It has since continued to improve and augment services, infrastructure and personnel to include Paediatric Surgery, Urology, Maxillo – facial Sugery and Opthalmology. The centre has carried out over 3000 surgeries as at November 2015.

It serves as a referral area for mainly the General Hospitals in Ondo State and parts of Osun, Ekiti and Edo State. It also receives referrals from across Nigeria and patients from other parts of the country.

The Ondo State Trauma and Surgical Centre runs 24hours emergency services in General Surgery, Burns, Plastic and reconstructive surgery, Orthopaedics and Trauma, Neurologic surgery, Paediatric surgery, Otorhinolaryngology, Anaesthesia, pharmacy, Nursing, Physiotherapy, and Radio diagnosis.

The Trauma Centre liaise closely with sister hospitals; Ondo State Kidney Care Centre, Gani Fawehinmi Diagnostic services and Mother and Child Hospital with which Mimiko Government constitute a Medical Village for ancillary support services including Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Radiology and Laboratory support.

It also runs out – patient surgical services and offer our patients elective day – case surgeries with efficient in – patient care, including oncology, endocrine, hepatobiliary, breast surgery, a special Burn Centre and intensive care.

To further strengthen the emergency medical services, the state government established Ondo State Emergency Medical Services Agency (ODEMSA) with the mandate to provide emergency  rescue, pre-hospital and hospital services to road crash victims in the state. 5 fully functional Accident Rescue Stations along the highways across Ondo state were built; Ore, Bolorunduro, Ilara, Owo and Oka-Akoko. 100 Extricators and 100 paramedics work 24hrs in all the stations and the response time to accident scenes is 15mins.  Each station has an Advanced Life Support Vehicle equipped with oxygen and other essentials needed sustain accident victims while they are being conveyed to the nearest hospital or the Trauma Center.

The Trauma Centre is not free unlike the Mother and Child Hospitals but it provides care before billing. In the African setting that is as good as being free

what is word class here let us stop fooling our self................... dis is bongalow na. rubbish

jomoh:
You maybe right. One fact to that contributed to it was its relatively small space and the face that most of the land was already tarred for aircrafts.

But then we have Akobo. It has more that 5estates surrounding each other only that its too vast for it to develop rapidly. Another disadvantage it has is the road network only two major entry and exit for such a wide area.

what contributed to slow development of alalubosa is the price and the poor roads in some parts of the estate

Akobo's location is another problem. it's located at the extreme end of the city though it's a very cool estate

jomoh:
Bros. Dat place na our play ground on our way home way back in sec schl days. It wasn until Akala converted it to GRA that it developed. Now a very beautiful area.

I think that place is the best in Ibadan for now. It has rapid development compared with Alalubosa GRA

jomoh:
Bros arrange this beautiful piece abeg.

8 Times Ibadan Beat Lagos Hands
Down
  
Lagos snatched the title of the largest city in West
Africa from Ibadan and has moved on to be the largest
in Africa. But even in the face of serious banter, Ibadan
has scored points in areas Lagos wouldn’t even dream
of. Here are 8 of them:

1. Free flow of traffic.
Except on really bad accident days and during execution
of construction projects, it is very possible to drive from
a far end of Ibadan to another in less than two hours.
Just look at Lagos traffic.

2. There is enough space for everyone and
everything, Ibadan is thrice the size of
Lagos.
Ibadan has a landmass of over 27,000 sq km .
But Lagos has a landmass of 3,577 sq km with a
current population size of approximately 21 million .
Even the beaches are crowded.

3. Because of the free air and less traffic,
the people are not angry.
The heat, stress and traffic in Lagos is enough to make
someone angry forever please. even the beaches are crowded
4. Three words: cheap cab fares.
The fares is sometimes as low as #20 in Ibadan

5. Rent in the suburbs is cheap too.
This two bedroom flat in Ibadan is #350,000 per annum ,
no need to drop one kidney to pay the landlord.

6. Abundance of historic monuments and
tourist sites.
Ibadan has more evidence of Nigerian cultural
heritage than Lagos does. The best part is that those
places are very accessible. mapo, Bowers tower etc

7. The crime rate is lower than in Lagos.
While broods of petty thieves and armed robbers swarm
in Lagos, fewer cases of crime is usually recorded in
Ibadan.

8. You can totally ball on a budget.
Not like this exactly sha.

Will you move to Ibadan in the near
future?

Lagos is too stressful for you?

BeeBeeOoh:
Fighting corruption up & down, probing rat & grasscutter. Is this the main problem facing Nigeria now??.. some should ask Buhari this

Hw many time mr president has appear in court during probing these elements ? does this stop ministers from functioning? so mr reflect well. mmmh

winniz:
Why would PDP want to rig GEJ's stronghold or change results when it's quite glaring he would win SE/SS?

As 4 announcing of results, INEC already said they will release the results themselves. PDP supporters do not have to condescend so low to start circulating fake online results like what u APC jerks are doing.

You APC clowns are quite funny why would soldiers go to collation centre's to pack results sheets? You guys are really desperate hence the reason you guys keep circulating fake results online and propagating all sorts of falsehood.

Well 4 Imo, Edo and Rivers State GEJ is winning there convincingly. I think those Governors in charge of those states are feeling embarassed they couldn't deliver there states to APC they decided to come up with all kinds of ridiculous stories.

Dis tin is simple jst post result in ur polling unit. if tru the SS n SE election is free n fair

Dis is real stomach infrastructure........ Frm oga Jona's camp

olamonsor2:
What do you think about this?
God bless Nigerians.

Hahahhahahhahahhhahhha

barcanista:
Apologies for the insults on your monarchs... Never meant to but your Monarchs are openly disrespecting the reverred Ooni of Ife. Na wa you o.

R u talking of slave ooni?....... I respect Orangun more than him. Ooni the blood sucker...

ControlX:
Sincerely this is not it. No sentiments!
A perfect example of the result of Igbo marginalisation over the year. Kudos to Buhari and his northern company. You will never smell our votes this Saturday. Sadists!

Uni Zik was established 1991 n dis hospital was founded probably 1996 or 7 ..... Northerners only rule for 4-5 yrs out of 19yrs of existence of dis teaching hospital..... Hw come northerners has to b blame for dis?

Flets:
If by chance Buhari wins this election, extremely hard times lies ahead for this country. 

Definitely, the creeks will go haywire again, Buhari will send the troops to the creeks and together they will set the oil facilities ablaze.

While these persists, the oil producing companies will simply withdraw their personnel from the volatile region and all foreign investment will seize in all sectors.And even if the troops kill 90% of the militants, it will take just one militant, a dynamite and just one location along the multi- kilometre trunklines to continue to wreck havoc. 

Fast forward to 2019, if we remain one country and without a civil war,, we will be an economic wreck with no allocations and salaries, no capital projects, no hope with dollar exchanging for 400 naira and we are worse off than we were in 2015.

Cos the truth is that without crude proceeds for now, Nigeria is finished. 

And then, we'll be screaming another 'Change' because we would have learnt a bitter lesson in the hands of the Fulanis, Tinubu and Saraki.And then we will ask.... Why were we this silly?

And before you quote me, make sure you outline in clear terms how you or Buhari will avert this obvious calamity staring us in the face


Only last week, they creek boys seem to have resumed activities by kidnapping at Yoho facility operated by Exxonmobil and have shut in 80KBD already. Are we ready for this for the next 4 years?

The entire world stands to benefit from a crisis in the Niger delta. Its not a coincidence that USA who abandoned us at the height of bokoharam is busy shouting for change in govt . Crises in the ND will reduce supply of crude to the Oil market and that would drive up the price of crude for producing countries.... But at Nigeria's expense.

Nigerians.... Be Warned!!!

Is dis a treat?

kasiem:
can u bet on that? Obj will never play any part cos he knows supporting buhari will mean him coming under tinubu. And the structures there will favor gej seriously, no element will there challenge the police led by mbu when they are protecting pdp stalwarts in doing their thing. As for oyo brother buhari can only get 20% of all the votes there. Moreover, I'm open to bet on this o

Excuse me! Wic Oyo? Where r u typing? Dnt bliv cajo endorsement. Obas don't dictate who we vote for..... Its personal. I'm dame sure GMB carries Oyo come march 28

emmykk:
you will be disapointed...adamawa,kaduna,ibadan,yobe,and bornu will fall to PDP

Ogbeni remove Ibadan frm ur list...... Ok?
