Kobojunkie: What he has to work with? The man has been Governor for well over 5 years. What exactly are you complaining about now?

Ptolomeus: Dear friend.
I'm really excited about our exchange. Are you a good person. It is difficult to find someone as educated and willing to explain things. It's hard for me to express the magnitude of my gratitude.
I have studied much about the Yoruba. This is a topic that I love. But obviously I'm far away geographically, and it is very difficult to learn.
I've read about the cult Egun as ancestor worship (presumably to tribal or ethnic ancestry).
I understand that the Yoruba, historically there were several kingdoms, in language, traditions, religion and common past. In the beginning, with a central government (political-military) in Oyo, and other cultural and religious in Ile Ife.
I have some material written in Yoruba, that here in Uruguay has remained since the days of slavery, transmitted orally from generation to generation.
It is to Orisa aduras. I would be very interested in you see them, and give me your opinion on the correctness or otherwise of the same and the type of variety used.
If you do not consider it disrespectful to me I would be interested to maintain contact with you.

honeric01: Why not? me i like better things o, don't you know that it's only what you eat that's yours? the day you die, you die with all that you have eaten since child birth, every other things you currently own is NOT YOURS and they seize to be yours the day you die.

chima12: a new state,toru ebe state to be created from edo,delta and ondo will deliver the ilaje of ondo from SW so that they can unite with their brothers in SouthSouth.

ogugua88: Ogbono with okra, alongside eba

honeric01: The last Ogbono and Okra i made, it was so sweet and delicious that i ate swallow for 3 days straight

Ogbono/Okra + correct dried and fresh fish combined with Eba, Fufu, Poundo yam, Lafun or Amala.. OLALALALACIOUS!

OAM4J: About time to upgrade the kitchen.... Where are our customers?

Come one, come all...[b]Missy B has finished giving birth to my baby o, she is up and doing no[/b]w

Ptolomeus: Dear friend:
His explanation was excellent, very valuable.
In addition you have been generous in sharing mujy knowledge.
On investigation, many times we must unite loose threads ... and not always doing so we were right.
I thank you for your valuable input.
I have some reference ... to egún worship (Egúngún?) is very interesting!
Few people in the forum have your spirit of reciprocity and respect for the past.
Admirably!

manny4life: @alj harem,

One thing is certain, increase in fuel prices (domestically) will not plunge a $260billion economy into recession. Nevertheless, I will acknowledge that it might slow down economic activities such as spending due to increased prices, BUT DEFINITELY NOT RECESSION. Recession goes beyond domestic fuel prices, 'were talking about something more broad. Take the components of GDP that cause economic growth, reverse their growth and you have an economic slowdown (recession). I do see your argument, but I do not agree 100% with you; just like before, and now again.

koruji: You keep deceiving yourself. Upon all the accomplishments of Aregbesola played out here over the months, this is the understanding of the government of Osun that you now have.

It is not too difficult to type Aregbesola into google or NL.

Beaf: Good! Now we can get firsthand news from inside.

bashr8: lol it is your yoruba brother alhaji harem that is acting like a slave for the northerners, he is campaigning for them and in turn they give him ewedu soup as reward for selling out the whole southern nigeria

manny4life: YES. We did have this discussion, but apparently, what you're saying I said is not exactly what I said. If you can recall what I said, please do. Now, what exactly is your theory? That increased Oil price is about to expose Nigeria to recession? I need to know what exactly is your point. No argument, I like Dr. NOI, but I do not side with few of her theories but yes I do side with most of it.

alj harem: You answered your own question yourself. Nigeria is not perfect system !!!! We have trashed this times without number.

Nigeria economy does not support economist theories !!! Each economy in each country have different theories that suit them.

Increasing the price of fuel would certainly affect the price of transportation, food etc. Now the worse mistake was to increase to world price, that is dumb because you basically expose your country to world price fluctuation. Also given the fact that Nigeria is a producer of this commodity, it is utterly stu.pid of us.

BlackPikiN: Omo mehn, you must be an hediot for this.

Wetin concern APGA with CPC/ACN.

No be ACN sell Ribadu.

You must be a god forsaken liar for real! Goat!

manny4life: alj_harem,

Why do you call my name?

samkoro: I disagree
A country is affected by global economic upheavals to the extent its import and export relies on it and not price of fuel within the country.If Nigeria is a perfect system ,fuel price changes will neither have positive nor negatve.

That is to say that if you dicrease fuel ,citizen will pay less and enjoy ;limiting gov income and ependitureIncrease fuel price and citizens pay more while gov gains more money for further developement that may be more important than citizens wasting fuel because its cheap.If mass transit sytem is perfect I.e n[b]etwork of trains,fuel could sell for N500 per litre and still transportation will be cheaper than what we have now[/b]

odumchi: Do you mean as in Linda (Ikeji)?

If so, 'Ikeji' is a name that is generally born by Aro people. It is given to people who were born around the time of Aro New Yam Festival (September) which is known as Ikeji. If this helps with the pronunciation, it's 'Ikééji' while 'strength has' is 'Ikéjì'.

Ptolomeus: My compliments, dear friend.
What you say is more accurate. According to my information, there were burials in the rear (the back) of the houses. I had never heard it do that on the balconies.
I said that this was part of the Yoruba tradition, but you may (as you say) it is a necessity, given the lack of cemeteries.
I can be wrong, but I've played that beyond that there were reasons to do that, I suppose, given the great respect that the Yoruba professed their ancestors, that also could be related. What is your opinion of that?
My question is this:
If there were no cemeteries, burials could be in a forest, right?. I sense that there might be some question on that affective and respectful. I do not say this, but I'm asking your opinions.
I hope nobody is offended, it is just an opinion.
Please accept my best regards!

Another Okija: Whats been wrong with you lately... I thought you were supposed to be me?!

Why do you speak ill of Okonjo without my permission?!

Now apologize to Okonjo and say you love her!!
