Her fifteen minutes will end next week. Thank God. Who cares apart from jobless Nigerians? She's homosexual yet living a better life than haters. If so, I should swing her way.

MasterJayJay:
She is their new queen. She and Kemi Olunlonyo seem to have something in common.

See Uju attacking Igbo men. Whenever someone attacks his/her own tribe, that's a sign of insanity.


A professor that doesn't know the difference between constitutional monarchy and absolute monarchy. Britain practices constitutional monarchy, which is only ceremonial. It's sheer ignorance to blame a Queen that has no executive power.


Some clowns were shouting "I wish they bring back History back to our schools".

The question is: Will you also accept that your ancestors kidnapped people and sold them to white men?

Some people only want to learn history of what others inflicted on their ancestors but don't want to learn the evil their own ancestors did to others.

Tzar:
I totally agree with the man plundering man part. But totally disagree with your position that Africa should forgive & FORGET the EVIL the British monarcy and empire did & is still doing to Africa.
As long as the OPPRESSOR claims the right to plunder by might, the OPPRESSED have a right not to forgive by hate. If Africa is not given restitution for the evil done to her she ought not to forgive.
Argentines still hate the British for the Falklands War til date, why can’t Africans?!
The ONLY tragedy here is that, unlike how America, India, and Hong Kong rose out of the British oppression strong, African leaders have replaced the British as the oppressors and plunderers of its people. I have an inclination to think that SLAVERY did something mentally to ALL Africans and this mental debasement has been passed from generation to generation becoming genetically programmed. How else can anyone do what Africa is doing to herself on a continental scale in spite of the vast human and material resources at her disposal?!

The several hundred dialects of Yoruba actually prove that they had been on ground well before an external unifying force came to preside over several communities.

Now, historically, not all Yoruba communities have any link with Oduduwa; an example is the Yagba (kabba) in Kogi state.

It may be important to also trace the link between the Igalas and the Yoruba's as they share some of their ancient names.

Example:
Igala (Akogwu) AND Yoruba (Akogun)
Both meaning the same thing: warrior

Olu317:
Let others who know answer some of the questions.

Was there any Ọlọ́yọ́ before Ọ̀rànmìyàn ?
No, there were none to be precise. However, empe (Nupe) were not too far from the earliest settlement to the place where Ọ̀rànmìyàn settled down.

History has it that Ọ̀rànmìyàn was said to be on vengeance to a people who fought against his ancestors through to Mali region but he , and his older cousin Olówu as that period and warriors princes abandoned the movement which led to his establishment of Ẹyọ.

Thereafter, the Empe people and their overlord decided to fight against these Yoruba elements where he Ọ̀rànmìyan and his co princes as earlier mentioned defeated the Empe people ,where there was a pact signed between the Yoruba and the Empe.

This led to the birth of Itiolú known as Ṣàngó through the daughter of king of Empe.
Ṣàngó was an adopted Alias by Itiólú who reigned after Dada AJaka(Ajàsa).

Dada Ajàsa(Ajàka) was the first crown king after Ọ̀rànmìyàn went back to Iléifẹ. Ọlọ́yọ́ Dada was able to trap the thunderstorms power used by Itiólú. Unfortuntely he was not loved because he preferred diplomatic solution to problem than warring. A peace loving King which he pursued till death at a ripe old age as a king who ruled twice.


During his first rule,he was abducted by Owu warriors but was later released and commanded to pay tributary to Owu. This was the reason he was called a weakling and was told to vacate the seat of authority which he did without much challenges, which ushered in Itiólú alias Ṣàngó.

Olu317:
Okay,I got your point but Gahà was not an ibariba man. Ibariba do not speak Yoruba language talkless of becoming Báṣọ̀rún.

The title of Báṣọ̀rún itself is a very high positon in Yoruba land. Infact, the position anciently is second in command to kings in Yoruba land,despite the fact that such personality cannot be king due to strict royalty bloodline to thrones in ancient times.

Plainly there are misinformation here and there on Yoruba history due to some erroneously egocentrism from some quarters. Anyway,Yoruba history is not hidden even if some people try to mislead the public.

Olu317:
The original ileife history is quite different from what many writers wrote about which support the fact that odua ancestors were also involved in the affairs of the Elus.

The account of previous rulers had nothing to do with odua era because there were seven Elus and six ifẹs when Odua was chosen to be a unified king even with the challenge therein. He eventually becamethefirst unifying Oni(owner)ifẹ.

These seven Elus and six ifẹs were the settlement which became unified under a supreme overlord known as odua from Eri Ogun(human), the owner of Arẹ crown. This is the reason Oni wears Arẹ crown once a year to venerate Ogún, the irùnmọlẹ̀ on the day, light appear to light the world through his path.

This man was part of Odua ancestors whose name is among the oldest name in the ancient settlement in Ileife whose son, odua eventually became the crowned the king of all kings.

It is to be stated here that Obaluru is over all king of all Oramfe descendants wherever they are in the world,even Obamakin descendants such as Olugbo must honour Obaluru as their supreme king.

Here below were the settlement during the era of odua:
IFE MEFA...were:
1. Obalufe.
2. Obajio.
3. Obaloran.
4. Obadio
5. Lokore.
6. Apata.

B. ELU MEJE..were:
1. Obaluru.
2. Obalesun
3. Ompetu.
4. Obawara.
5. Obalaaye.
6. Obalejugbe.
7. Fegun

Hello nairalanders, I'm new here from South Africa, though I've been a guest for almost 4 years now. Since I didn't know much about Nigeria or Nigerians in general, I was a bit skeptical about being a member here, but my Nigerian friend whom I met 2 years ago made me realize that Nigerians can be good people to be around.

So I'm looking forward to being part of this nairaland family.

The Crown of Scotland was placed on Her Majesty's coffin in Edinburgh's St Giles Cathedral as her son King Charles and his siblings watched on.

The sombre moment was part of the service in the heart of the Scottish capital this afternoon.

Made from gold, silver and precious gems, the crown is the centrepiece of the Honours of Scotland which are the oldest Crown jewels in Britain and among the oldest in Europe.

The crown was made in its current form in 1540 for King James V of Scotland.

In its earliest form, the crown dates back to 1503, when it was depicted being worn by King James IV.

The Queen had herself held the crown in the same church, St Giles' Kirk just after her coronation.

Factory work is hard everywhere in the world sha.

In the Uk, you'll work in some factory that you won't be able to walk after your shift. Because you'll be standing at a spot all through.

It's not for the weak

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
I once worked 12 hours a day with the Royal Mail in UK. I earned almost £100 a day with 1hr break. It was hell, 6pm to 6am - a 3 weeks contract job. I remember after the first four days, I came back home, slept at 10am, believe me I woke up around 6pm and the place or work was about an hour away. I just slept off again and woke up the next morning. It was crazy but I woke up very strong. Thumbs up to hustlers all across the world!

Whobedatte:
Only advantage to a factory job is if it comes with an apprenticeship program , they enroll you ,train you and same time use you ,though they pay salary
Academy press does that though not sure about now anyways .
I got promoted yearly for for years and my take home was N9k at year 1 ,GLO1 , stage 1 far back as 2004.
They also have graduate trainee s who starts from GLO4 , stage 1.
Company is partly owned by Americans and the head of training are a German and a Briton
But you see those Chinese and Indian companies ,some littered around ilupeju
They use you like Jackie and casualise you for many years with no benefit like HMO , meal subsidy , annual leave etc
Factory work is good if you the owners or founders are Europeans or American s but terrible if they are all these chinco and Indians .

edgecution:
TWO undergraduates of the Ebo­nyi State University, 26-year-old James Okoh and Victor Uchenna Okefie, 27, are now cooling their heels in the cold embrace of the of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad, AKS, where they are being interrogated, following their arrest by the Enugu State Police Command.

Okoh and Okefie, who had been at large, allegedly conspired to murder, Mrs. Stella Uhuo, a US-based lady who was visiting home on vacation.

Prior to the dastardly act Ohuo had been a benefactor to Okoh, a final year Sociology student of the university, who hails from Amata in Afikpo North Local Government Area, Ebonyi State. She asked members of her family to come to the airport to receive her.

She was said to have intimated Okoh about her planned visit and requested him to come to the airport so that he could take her to Abakaliki to deliver some luggage given to her by some friends in the United States for onward delivery to their families.

On the fateful day, November 14, 2015, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Nwodibo Ekechuk­wu, told Sunday Sun reporter that the family of the deceased joyfully turned out at the airport to receive her. Okoh also came with his friend in a Volvo car.

Her personal luggage were put in the car brought by family, while the ones she wanted to take to Abakaliki were loaded into the boot of the Volvo car with registration number Lagos EKY 855 CY. After the exchange of pleasantries, the family left while Ohuo, Okoh and Okefie headed to Abakaliki. The time was about 10.00am.

Okefie sat at the back of the car while Okoh drove with Ohuo sitting in front, completely at peace, unknown to her that they had a heinous plan. Along the way, Okoh diverted off the busy Enugu-Abakaliki road, to a side road away from passing cars. From the back, Okefie lunged forward, grabbed Ohuo by the neck with a choking hold while Okoh viciously hit her on the head. Then Okefie strangled her. When her legs ceased kicking as life ebbed out and her heart stopped beating, the duo, still acting out their carefully scripted evil plan, calmly searched her and took all the money she had in dollars and her iPad.

When Sunday Sun reporter spoke with suspects in custody, Okoh recounted what transpired after the woman died. He said: “We dumped her corpse along Enugu/Abakaliki express road, on the Enugu State side. We took her dollars and luggage including ipad and broke the SIM cards of her phones. We ran to my hostel at Ebonyi State University and later went to Sabongari in Abakaliki to change the dollars to Naira and got over N850,000. We burnt the clothes of the deceased, and shared all the male clothes we saw in the luggage.”

The following day, after wait­ing for long and not receiving any call from Ohuo, her brother became troubled and went to the police to file a missing person re­port. At the time of the incident, Mr. Mohammed Adamu, was the police commissioner. Soon after he handed over to Ekechuk­wu, who assumed duty at the Command.

Soon after he received the case file, Ekechukwu directed detectives attached to Anti-Kid­napping Squad to commence investigation. They promptly arrested Okoh on January 29, 2016 at his hostel at the Ebonyi State University while Okefie was traced to his parent’s house at Ajaokuta in Kogi State on January 31, 2016. In the course of interrogation they confessed to the crime, and gave graphic details of how they did it.

Upon receiving news that the duo had been arrested, Ohuo’s family members stormed the headquarters of AKS, to identify them as the two people who were last seen with their sister before her death. They were shocked that Okoh who their sis­ter had helped immensely could have been the person to tragi­cally end her life. They wailed and were unable to control their emotions.

Meanwhile the corpse of Ohuo has been in the mortuary since November 14, when it was picked up from the roadside. Ekechukwu assured that the suspects would be charged to court soon after the conclusion of investigation.

The first thing to know is that the company must have been in business for at least 3 years and must have audited financial statements for that period.

He would also need financial projections of the company for at least 36months.

He would need to appoint the following in a team:

Reporting accountants

Solicitors to the issue

Auditors to the issue

An issuing house eg FBN Capital etc

His company also needs to apply to SEC to seek approval

Note that before the company can get approval for this all it's taxes must be up to date, approvals and licences must also be up to date

They also need to prepare a brief profile of the company and it's principal officers

The company would also be required to state how much money they hope to raise from the IPO and what they intend to do with the money raised, all these must be stated in the prospectus for the IPO

This is just a brief summary of the process

SenR:
Factory work is almost the same here in Germany, general standard factory working hours is 8 hours in 3 shifts.

Some factory workers here earn as much as #2,000,000 per month but the tax no be here.

You go stand all through your shift, your're only entitled to 30 mins break.

Although sha na the money go console you at the end of the month

He did dry cleaning work for a couple of Days, he decided immediately that after that first month, he will stop!
This is someone I know well, a very hardworking Guy
But he said that that dry-cleaning work aint it, He was in the Ironing section, Ironing from morning till night, the Owner too na a lo pa... , use person die


Many factory works these days, are like that, most worse, it ain't about laziness at all...
Too too bad


Most of these companies ain't it, site work is still far better.
What about Disrespect and how you are treated, you can't be treated anyhow, not on that level in site
Some site work can even have a bit fun here and there

Very true. In fact,those who attended some multicultural northern universities like ABU zx in the 90s can attest to this. They were majorly the lead causes of religious unrest in the varsity then. Highly fanatical.

Thank you sir for answering my plea to add a new mod

Peter, you are nothing but a LIAR.

I don't blame Igbos for anything. Wars happen.That is the reality. It is how people behave after, whether winners or losers of a war, that defines their redemption, future glory, full rehabilitation and earns them the respect of everyone.

My point is that you Igbos should look at Germans and the Japanese to see how aberrant you are as a people.

The Germans and Japanese , after their second World War loss, learnt distinct lessons and became pacifist, peacemakers and extremely productive people who have two of the most admired and strongest economies in the world.

They totally shunned conflict and aggression to be entirely about socio-economic glory and rebirth.

No such thing for Igbos who continue to trouble fellow Nigerians hatefully, disruptively and violently till today despite the fact you should, if innately decent and responsible, toe the path of insular and peaceful rebirth as the Germans and Japanese undertook.

It would have been fantastic if you Igbos took time off, after your war loss, to insulate yourselves in the SE and build a culture, way of of life and socio-economic greatness that would make you admired as a people of genuines core goodness and depth as the Germans and Japanese have succeeded to achieve.

Today no one associates the average German or Japanese with the second World War whereas it is difficult to ever dissociate Igbos from the Nigerian civil war because you won't let anyone forget it with how you remain vengeful over your War lose and always pugnaciously seeking ways to gain proxy 'balancing' wins against the Yorubas and Northerners.

Contrast your behaviour with that of the Germans who are amiable partners with the Brits today and other nations they fought against. You people are just fundamentally aberrant even as you cannot see it.

No one in Ireland hasn’t lost one or two of their family to British rule.
Why do you think there are over 20M Irish citizens in USA and Canada while the main Ireland have just 5M population.
The royal families killed over 10M Indians and uncountable Africans.
