Christistruth02: Lagos was the Commercial Capital of Yorubaland long before the British Empire arrived in 1851 And Ikeja Lagos still remained the Commercial capital of the Western Region under Awolowo
Do you see Apapa the port? 90% of Apapa district was under Awolowo and it was he who built the Industrial Estates
surrounding the Port for the Western Region!!
Do you think the British Colonial Government that drew this map did not know where Yorubaland was before they included Lagos inside it ?
Or do you think Herbert Macauley who was an indigene of Lagos didn’t know where Yorubaland was ?
Ebutte Meta in Lagos and Badagry were Oyo Kingdom ports
FreeStuffsNG: You are obviously not Yoruba and that explains your fraudulent account of the Yoruba people who you don't know their history. Lagos is not even the most diverse of part of Yoruba land. As at 1872, no member of your tribe is even in Lagos!
The population of Lagos Colony was analysed into 'Yoruba' and 'Non-Yoruba' tribes:
1. Eko tribe had fallen from 57% in 1872 to 23.6% 20 years later. 2. Popo or Egun tribe was 15.85%,
3. Other Yoruba groups Oyo - 11.6% Ijebu - 11.01% Awori - 9.26% Egba - 6.05% Ijesha - 4.32% Egbado - 3.63% Ekiti/Efon people - 1.76%
4. Non-Yoruba groups Nupe/Tapa - 1.86% Hausa - 1.86% The Kru - 1.37%.
Lagos has always been Yorubaland and the presence of others is not any way different from the other parts of Yorubaland because of the accommodating nature of the Yoruba and we don't and have never practiced cannibalism.
As at 1872, there are other parts of Yorubaland that are far more diversed than Lagos.
The Yoruba are the only group of Africans who retained their culture and religion even in foreign lands they were shipped to. Only the Yoruba! The Yoruba have always been highly populated and have a sophisticated system of government. The Yoruba even produced the Bini royalty through Oranmiyan.
Located in the Caribbean island of the Bahamas is Yoruba House, dedicated to freed Yoruba slave descendants. Picture below.
DomPerignon: You said in your last post that Louis Ojukwu was worth billions in naira.
Note that the Nigerian currency at independence was the Nigerian Pounds and it was being traded on the international market at slightly lower than the British Pounds and worth almost double the value of the USD.
That would have made Louis Ojukwu a billionaire in dollars and even pounds going by your billions estimate of the man's wealth.
How is thus possible when Nigeria's entire GDP and gross earnings was not worth billions back then?
You see how you can't even craft a descent lie?
Even at that how come no one outside Nigeria and British colonial settings knew Louis Ojukwu as a billionaire?
Even Forbes did not recognise him as one .
Oga de lie small small nah
Impressive.
That was a very brilliant response to the relentless disinformation by these secessionist paid trolls. These irresponsible forgers of history do NOT seem to realize that there are millions of highly educated folks here and on other online platforms who will EXPOSE their lies and forgeries in real time.
(Yoruba Subgroups Characteristics: By Samuel Johnson)
OP: Pg1. July 17 2021
As far as it is possible for one race to be characteristically like another, from which it differs in every physical aspect, the Yorubas -- it has been noted -- are not unlike the English in many of their traits and characteristics. It would appear that what one is among the whites the other is among the blacks. Love of independence, a feeling of superiority over all others, a keen commercial spirit, and of indefatigable enterprise, that quality of being never able to admit or consent to a defeat as finally settling a question upon which their mind is bent, are some of those qualities peculiar to them, and no matter under what circumstances they are placed, Yorubas will display them. We have even learnt that those of them who had the misfortune of being carried away to foreign climes so displayed these characteristics there, and assumed such air of superiority and leadership over the men of their race they met there, in such a matter of fact way that the attention of their master was perforce drawn to this type of new arrivals! And from them they selected overseers. These traits will be clearly discerned in the narratives given in this history. But apart from the general, each of the leading tribes has special characteristics of its own; thus dogged perseverance and determination characterise the Ijebus, love of ease and a quickness to adapt new ideas the Egbas, the Ijesas and Ekitis are possessed of a marvelous amount of physical strenght, remarkable docility and simplicity of manners, and love of home.
Among the various families of Oyo proper, the Ibarapas are laborious farmers, the Ibolos are rather docile and weak in comparison with others, but the Epos are hardy, brave, and rather turbulent; whilst the Oyos of the metropolitan province are remarkably shrewed, intelligent, very diplomatic, cautious almost to timidity, provokingly conservative, and withal very masterful.

NevetsIbot: I moved to this new apartment in January. Did all the cleaning and all of that. Everything seemed cool.
The first night I spent here, I noticed I was dealing with a lot of cockroaches… Big ones coming from the bathroom drain and tiny ones littered around in the kitchen.
I was so irritated and I inquired about who stayed in the apartment before me. According to the neighbors, the previous guy was dirtier than a pig and a sloth combined. This guy must have been breeding these irritating insects. They clearly said no one could enter the apartment while he was living there cos of how dirty he was.
I killed nothing less than 500 cockroaches after spraying a full can of insecticide in the house and on God! I’m not even exaggerating.
I had peace for three days and started seeing them again. I have used Sniper! Ran out of the house for three days and doused the whole apartment in sniper!! I only had peace for three days too.
I practically wine and dine with cockroaches now. I empty a full can every week to kill them and I still end up killing a lot every single time but they never just stop coming. After spraying, I’m always greeted with cockroaches when I’m walking in. I’m fed up and tired.
How will I have a visitor and I and the visitor will be killing tiny cockroaches with me giving excuses and feeling embarrassed.
My apartment is always clean! I hate cockroaches especially the tiny ones.
Please I’ve run out of options. I’m contemplating moving out if I can’t get some type of long term fix.
Please I’m very open to suggestions!! I’m facing more shege from cockroaches than I’m facing from Mr President.
This is why it's always good to carry out pre-inspections of any house one intends to buy or lease for a specific period in order to mitigate these sorts of situations.
Roaches can indeed be very stubborn. These are insect species that even experts have said can survive nuclear weapons attacks when they any strike city.
Dark and moist crevices are usually where they like to hide. The best ever way that I've used to deal ruthlessly with these roaches is through the spraying of strong brand-name insecticides purchased from the mall. The use of the highly effective "Raid insecticide" comes to mind here while in Nigeria.
Golden News Ng?... Is that a credible news outlet in Nigeria? If it's NOT from any of the major news outlets such as Punch, then this report has to be verified properly
APCheat: I still maintain it. Israel is no Christian nation and Iran is no Muslim nation. So, of you are Christian supporting Israel, ot a Muslim supporting Iran, you are very ignorant.
That part of your post above is totally WRONG. Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims are both branches of Islam... Including a few other branches depending on doctrinal differences. Islam is NOT a monolithic religion.
Iran used to be majority Sunni Muslim but is now LARGELY Shiite Muslim (just like Pakistan) with other minority faiths such as the indigenous Zoroastrian religion which have been repressed but still going strong in Iranian Diaspora population centers.
I saw this interview much earlier. It could be a decoy rhetoric to remove suspicions of an impending regime change which has a 50/50 chance of getting messy.

alawiiyeyoruba: Aso-Oke also called Ofi is a type of hand-made fabric usually done by weaving and this art of weaving and styling of this particular fabric material originated from the Yorubas (South-western people of Nigeria). It is a cloth worn by people of high social status in the olden days and even this era as well, because this cloth promotes the beautiful culture and heritage of the Yorubas.
Ofi is beautifully patterned and designed while weaving the material from coloured strands of fabrics, after which materials made........ read more on https://alawiiyeyoruba.com/aso-ofi/
Bump.
Aso Oke ALSO called Aso Ofi and worn by people of high status.
Chrisrare: Curing a demon possessed person can be staged, the 'demon possessed person' can do an arrangee with the pastor. But making an amputated limb grow back can't be staged. Why does Jesus direct you to perform only miracles that can be staged? That shows he's imaginary.
Succinctly stated.
Your deft use of dialectics right above to reply him would have given him a "massive brain reset" from all that mass hysteria and delusions. Lol
Chrisrare: That's not what i asked. Should i bring an amputee for YOU to use and demonstrate the power of Jesus? I don't need cock and bull stories about other people's testimonies.
blamingthedevil: THREE NIGERIANS MAKE FORBES LIST OF 50 WEALTHIEST BLACK AMERICANS 2024
Only three Yoruba - Nigerians made it to the list Adebayo Ogunlesi, Tope Awotona, and Wemimo Abbey.
Forbes has unveiled its 2024 ForbesBLK 50 list, celebrating the achievements of the wealthiest and most influential Black Americans.
What Forbes said
Adebayo Ogunlesi, with a net worth of $1.7 billion, stands out as a pioneering force in global infrastructure investment. As chairman and co-founder of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), Ogunlesi led the private equity firm through a transformative acquisition by BlackRock in 2024 for $12.5 billion.
Tope Awotona, the founder and CEO of Calendly, has redefined efficiency in scheduling and holds a net worth of $1.4 billion.
Wemimo Abbey, at just 32, is the youngest Nigerian on the list and cofounder of Esusu, an African fintech company addressing financial inclusion. Esusu helps renters build credit by reporting rent payments to credit bureaus, a service utilized by more than 20,000 properties and benefiting 1.8 million Americans.
Congratulations to them, This shows that you do not need to do anything illegal to be recognized. It does not come as a surprise that only men from the Yoruba Ethnic group made it to the list. https://x.com/NoNonsensezone/status/1870090656196022569
Leadnaija1: 12 Ways To Destroy Women's Egos Instantly Without Violence
There is this saying that says, "They're Many Ways To Kill Rat Without Sharing Of Blood" meaning, they're ways to deal with situations without making issues out of it or resulting to violence.
Many relationships collapsed today as a result of the attitude of the partner which they find it irritating must especially the women/lady, this has been LeadNaija major concerns and done some research and eventually come up with this 12 Key tips on how to make her loyal:
1. Looking At Other Women
Yes, she needs to know that you're wide-eyed and always looking at others.
Don't be too obvious and say, "Damn, did you see that ass?". I'm not saying you have to overdo it, but when you walk with her, you can look at other girls.
Right now, we're not trying to fix you up with this girl.
She's not a good girl because her ego is too big. She doesn't know what she's worth, she thinks she's too important.
No, she needs to come down. So you can look at other women. Don't comment, but you can look.
2. Never Argue With Her And Never Get Emotional.
Yes, as soon as you start arguing, it's because you're getting too involved.
You're afraid of losing her.? Women will know you're invested because if you don't care, you're not arguing, Don't raise your voice, don't shout, don't get emotional.
She has to be cooperative if she wants to engage with you because you set your boundaries and you're like, there's no drama around me.
If she wants to engage in this kind of behavior, she needs to go home.
3. No Validation:
We don't give compliments, we don't talk about how good she looks or how beautiful she is.
No, we don't do that. You never put a woman on a pedestal, especially if she doesn't deserve it.
You can't give her free compliments and boost her ego. If you're already complaining that it's too high, keep doing it and you'll see it increase by the second.
All men do it, so what you say isn't really going to hit the nail on the head, especially if you're talking about her looks and she's a pretty girl.
4. Never Ask For Commitment:
No, she's the one who has to ask for commitment and the relationship, who has to ask for you to get more involved.
She's the one. Because if she sees that he's too involved, all of a sudden, she doesn't love you anymore.
So be careful not to ask for commitment. You don't have a problem with the current situation.
It doesn't bother you, because in a way, by asking her to be your girlfriend, you're showing her that you think she's what's best for you.
5. Dress Smart In Public:
Women are used to being looked at.
You know, if I'm walking around with my man, people usually look at me, but if you're well dressed, you're stylish, you're elegant, all that, women will start looking at you.
Even men can look at you and say, "Oh, you're well dressed.
Wow." You know, you're drawing attention away from her.
It's going to upset her because women aren't used to that.
Her ego is going to be hurt. Now she's going to realize who she's with and she's going to try to secure her place.
6. Don't Look Forward To Getting To Know Her:
If you're too eager to spend time with her and ask, "Oh, what about your life?" No.
Again, for this type of woman, you're stimulating her ego.
She's thinking, "Ooh, I look good today, I'm a god." No. Don't text with emojis because emojis show emotions.
So, no. When you text her, ask her out. Yes, you want to see her, you have to ask her, but don't act excited.
"Oh my God, I can't wait to see you, can we go?" No. Act normal. "Hey, do you want to go out? Yes or no?" Don't ask it like that, obviously, but you know what I mean.
7. This One Is Good
Don't be impatient to have sex with her.
I'm telling you, a woman who senses that you're thirsty and want sex at all costs, that's when she's going to play with you.
That's when she's going to use her sex as a weapon and as a monetary thing.
"Oh, you want sex? Okay, buy me that. You want some sex? Take me there."
No! You have to act like you don't care about pussy.
