It's brilliant that Nigeria has full support from the EU and the United Kingdom instead of relying on the passive-aggressive bullying tactics from the current POTUS (even some Republicans in interviews stated their surprise that Trump spoke almost condescendingly about Nigeria when high-level diplomatic contacts should have been made in terms of joint military operations with the sharing of military intelligence).

Low-earth orbit satellites, surveillance and attack drones including some elements of biological warfare are needed in defeating the insolence of the foreign Fula militia bandits, the Lakurawa Tuareg bandits from Niger Republic and Northern Mali, and the BH and ISWAP menace in the Lake Chad Region.

The Jihadi gangsters from JNIM operating in over half of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger have to be brought to a halt as well because the needed Russian intelligence and assistance hasn't helped those 3 countries currently under Military dictatorships.

The Senator representing Yobe State passed on in July 2025. He will definitely be replaced with another credible person.

Yobe State and her twin sister State of Borno have very educated, brilliant people both Muslims (and non-Muslims from the Southern parts of Yobe and Borno). I know these facts because I've been friends with folks from those areas right from the 1980s who are in senior positions as professionals and in politics.

The man in that video wants ONLY one person dropped - Reno will represent Delta State and Nigeria as an Ambassador.

That rejection won't happen because President 'Bola Tinubu already forgave Reno Omokri (whose biological mother is a Princess of the Itsekiri royal family and related to Sen. Oluremi Tinubu whose mother is an Itsekiri married to an Ijebu man from Ogun State) after Reno as far back as 2022 CLARIFIED that the now President Tinubu indeed attended Chicago State University and isn't a drug baron (after he did further advanced investigations from the relevant U.S. authorities) like he FALSELY claimed.


Tbh, Reno wasn't even the FIRST to start that propaganda of demarketing Tinubu. It started long ago, (way before 2014) with several NL threads created by ethnic bigots and trolls to demarket Tinubu in the 2010s and this was continued by the Peter Obi supporters on multiple NL threads in the 2023 Presidential election cycle and even after the elections, they continued to cast aspersions on Tinubu. The evidence is all over NL and other online platforms.

Thanks for explaining it succinctly to him. It's totally bad that some posters are ONLY here with their limited knowledge of medical innovations to just attack the Jehovah's Witnesess folks despite the FACT that as far back as the 1990s alternative methods to replace blood transfusions such as EPO have been created due to the recurrent episodes of innocent people getting infected with improperly screened blood in some countries leading to HIV, Ebola, Lassa Virus, Marburg and other zoonotic infections. You don't require blood transfusions if you don't want it as long as alternatives exist.

People MUST learn to read to understand and I think the JWs have to further enlighten the public worldwide again that they aren't stupid BECAUSE alternative methods to replace blood transfusions exist! INFACT, based off of reading AWAKE magazine since the 1990s, the Jehovah's Witnesess are one of the MOST highly educated and scientifically aware Christian groups ever. The other Christian sect members that keep attack them as being "dogmatic" are the problem because they do NOT get themselves updated on events. I say this as someone who is not even a practicing Xtain. I hate hypocrisy of any kind tbh.

These folks don't appreciate the success of the medical team who respects the rights of his patient for a treatment she prefers.

But ,non of these folks want their own right to medical treatment to be infringed upon by their doctor or anyone.


If the medical team had done the procedure on their pastor,they would applaud him & say their deity did it,but because it's JW's treatment that was successful, they are expressing bias.

I get your point, but Farooq Kperogi is not Fulani neither is he Hausa. He is from Baruten in Kwara State, and he is Baatonu by tribe
@Jakpon

You contradicted yourself in your post.

The United States-based academic, Farooq Kperogi is NOT a Hausa man. He is from the Okuta community and is of the Bariba ethnic group (otherwise called Batonu ethnic group) of Kwara North in Kwara State. The Bariba ethnic group extends right from Kwara North into Benin Republic just like Yorubaland extends from North Central Nigeria, South West and parts of the South of South into Benin Republic and the Atakpame area of Togo.


So, you are indeed correct that Farooq is a Bariba man (Batonu) BUT he isn't a Hausa man. Farooq is someone I've known for years now.

I recall that the versatile Alpha Jets have been in the service of NAF since the early 1980s so those jet fighters have really tried especially with the regular servicings from NAF maintenance crew and engineers. Air investigators have to ensure they know what happened here in order to mitigate any further plane crashes. Period.

This can't be taken as blood transfusion since its still her own blood that was taken off her, re-engineered and put back into the body.
Indeed, the Car-T method of cancer treatment was used for her which itself is NOT "blood transfusion" in reality.

The main thrust of creating the thread is to share some of the alternative non-blood transfusion methods that have been available since the 1990s. I'm really surprised at the confirmation bias, and circular reasoning among a lot of uninformed posters here who think it's ONLY blood that you can medically use for transfusions. People have lost the urge to creatively read, take part in continuous education and understand situations through cognitive engagements.

If Erythropoietin (EPO) is readily available in that country (Nigeria), then that's OK. She can use that EPO as an alternative since it's one of several methods long recommended by her JW Church based off of the AWAKE magazine I read back in the 1990s. EPO is just one out of several forms of non-blood transfusions that doctors have recommended as alternatives.


Last but NOT least, I have NEVER been a member of JW neither am I a Christian BUT I know the JW adherents to be very educated folks who embrace modern scientific breakthroughs and good business ethics as seen in some of their AWAKE magazines that I still have in my home libraries since the 1990s. The JW folks indeed have a right of choice to choose what is BEST for them and do have a very STRONG point in the sense that improperly screened blood especially in developing countries and underdeveloped countries have led to the massive spread of HIV, Ebola, Marburg, Lassa Virus, hepatitis variants, and more.

The new NL spam bot actually deleted the thread post yesterday which got me pissed off, BUT I was surprised to see just about I hour ago after I logged in that you had restored it and even moved it to the NL front page.


NOW, the main thrust of my posts on this thread and the other one is to simply share some of the non-blood transfusion methods that have been readily available since the 1990s that I'm aware of. BUT reading through this thread and the other one on the female shopper who is a JW member shows that a lot of posters are still highly ignorant about several alternatives to blood transfusions which doctors have long endorsed worldwide since the 1990s.

If one of the non-blood transfusion alternatives such as Erythropoietin (EPO) is readily available in Nigeria, then she can use that as an alternative since it's one of several methods recommended by her JW Church based off of the AWAKE magazine I read back in the 1990s. EPO is just one out of several forms of non-blood transfusions that doctors have recommended as alternatives.

You're right. To be fair on them no one who knows all the disadvantages of blood transfusion will readily jump at the idea. And in this particular patient's case, there's no evidence to suggest that she was in a life and death situation so I'm wondering why the brouhaha
Indeed, you've said it succinctly.

I've NEVER been a JW member BUT I RESPECT them a lot because of the modern scientific breakthroughs and more they publish in their AWAKE magazine (some of which I still have stacked as part of my home libraries since the 1990s). JW folks are NOT semi-literates from studying them and they are even open to modern scientific discoveries, modern methods of agribusiness, archaeology and travel news, ethical business and more.



JWs are NOT conservative folks contrary to what some uninformed posters are posting here and on another NL thread that is currently on the NL front page. There's a lot of needless confirmation bias in some people's thinking and posts here. The world has long moved away from blood transfusions since the 1990s, BUT I'm surprised that many are still fossilized in their ways of thinking that ONLY blood transfusions can be used. This is what I FIRST got to know as well from that AWAKE magazine back in the 1990s and then I immediately logged on to the Internet to do more research and found out that indeed, scientists had developed and were still developing alternatives to blood transfusions in research labs to prevent the spread of hepatitis variants, HIV, Ebola, Marburg, Lassa Virus, and other kinds of horid zoonotic diseases.

As of 2025, by simply typing right now into any search engine: "alternatives to blood transfusions" a significant array of search results would pop up.

We used to accept and give blood transfusions in the past, but by careful study of the scriptures, we changed. It is an issue of faith above all else.

We Witnesses are very law abiding, During Covid, our members were urged, not coerced as it a personal choice, to get vaccinated. All those working full time for the organisation (about 22,000 worldwide) had to get vaccinated or leave. Unlike most religious organizations, we refused to start in person meeting at either our Kingdom Halls or Assembly Halls. We even stopped house to house witnesseing. Many non-Witnesses took notice, and it got televised. Why? Because we wanted to protect out members and those of the public. We are very health conscious.

This can be contrasted with many "Born Again" Christians and Pentecostals, who refused to get vaccinated, some calling it the "Mark of the Beast" Many died, including then president of Tanzania.
@grandstar

That's a highly impressive post from you. I didn't realize that you are a JW adherent. Because of this new low-budget anti-spam bot, I had to simultaneously switch from my older NL account to this one. Though not a JW, I once read a copy of AWAKE back in the 1990s where an article was published about the use of "non-blood transfusion alternatives" such as EPO and more. JW folks aren't ignorant people and it's totally IRRESPONSIBLE for anybody to start casting online aspersions on you folks because you refused to take blood transfusions especially NOW that fortunately alternatives exist to prevent the spread of hepatitis variants, HIV, Ebola, and other zoonotic diseases.

Incidentally, after posting my thoughts on the use of EPO on this same NL thread, I created a new NL thread on a US-based girl who got treated for cancer using a modern alternative method. The NL spam bot deleted it yesterday BUT just as I logged in to NL less than 1 hour ago, I saw that @domi.nique had moved the thread to the NL front page.

There's indeed a need for you JW folks (who I respect for publishing interesting topics and scientific breakthroughs in AWAKE magazine right from the 1990s when I read the first ever copy) to let these uninformed people out there to know that YOU guys have alternatives to prevent these people from insulting you guys based on their own limited knowledge. I still have older copies of AWAKE in my home libraries despite NOT being a JW or Christian. I respect you guys in JW more than some other Xtian sects or denominations who are NOT scientifically oriented tbh.

"Imported to her" as if Nigeria is located in one village deep in the jungle. EPO is located everywhere in Nigeria, and it's not the Messiah you think it is. The way it works is to help the body form it's own red blood cells, instead of just receiving those red blood cells in the form of blood transfusion. Do you know how many weeks it takes for blood cells to be formed? It's like telling someone who needs a place to sleep for one night to build his own house instead of just getting a hotel room.

Jehovah's Witness Receives Blood Cancer Treatment Without Transfusion

The University of Kansas Cancer Center
Jun 12 2019
At just 19, Sydney Joorabchi was battling cancer for the second time. She was first diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at 13. After harsh rounds of chemotherapy, at 16, she went into remission. But three years later it was back.

Due to her religious beliefs as a Jehovah’s Witness, Sydney was adamant not to have a blood transfusion part of her treatment.

After discussing her needs with her doctor, he suggested she seek treatment at The University of Kansas Cancer Center. That is where she met Dr. Sunil Abhyankar and his team, who got to work at figuring out how to accommodate Sydney’s medical and spiritual needs.

Based on the kind of cancer they decided to perform Car-T therapy. A type of treatment that works well for blood cancers, and often requires no chemotherapy or blood transfusions, and can have fewer side effects. Car T therapy essentially extracts your own blood, reengineers your cells and then places the new cells back into your body.

Sydney was skeptical at first because she assumed she’d ultimately need a bone marrow transplant, but 30 days after treatment, Sydney was in full remission.

Dpsychologist:
When a teenage girl is abused, society rallies in outrage. Yet when a teenage boy is exploited by an older woman, the narrative shifts suddenly it’s “impressive,” “a flex,” or even “something to be praised.”

This is not empowerment. It is abuse.
This is not maturity. It is exploitation.
This is not consent. It is predation.

At 16, a boy is still a minor. His “enjoyment” or perceived skill does not erase the fact that he is being taken advantage of by an adult.

The double standard is glaring: we condemn abuse when it happens to girls, but trivialize it when it happens to boys. That hypocrisy silences male victims, normalizes abuse, and perpetuates a culture where men’s mental health and advocacy are dismissed.

Until we recognize that boys can be victims too, and that predators can be women as well as men, we will continue to fail half of our children.

This is not about gender wars.
This is about justice, protection, and humanity.

Chilipepper:
Popular personal shopper and market plug on X, Aunty Esther, has sparked a fresh wave of reactions after it was revealed that she declined a blood transfusion recommended by doctors as part of her cancer treatment.

Aunty Esther shared earlier that her test results were out and the cancer was found in her breast and armpit. She thanked everyone who donated towards her treatment and assured the public that updates would keep coming.

But shortly after, one of the fundraiser coordinators, Sir Dickson, announced that he and another volunteer doctor were stepping away from handling her case. According to him, doctors advised that she undergo a blood transfusion to stabilise her levels before chemotherapy, but she refused on religious grounds as a Jehovah’s Witness.

He added that her church members reportedly warned she would be disfellowshipped if she accepted blood, while some family members allegedly insisted that “whatever happens is God’s will.” He said that while her belief is respected, they cannot continue leading a fundraiser where the patient is rejecting the ideal treatment that could save her life.
This is a non-issue.

The Jehovah's Witness adherents have an alternative method to "blood transfusion" which does NOT involve the exchange of blood so she can try that out by having it imported for her. I read about that alternative to blood transfusion [Erythropoietin (EPO)] in one of the published copies of AWAKE over 25 years ago and it was very revealing. So, she should go for that option.


Erythropoietin (EPO): A synthetic hormone that stimulates the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells.

Nigerian terrorists showing off ransom on TikTok, Facebook, using Elon Musk’s Starlink, FG unable to trace them: Presidency

President Bola Tinubu’s government has said that security agencies are unable to track down terrorists branding weapons and loads of ransom collected in cash on social media because they use Elon Musk’s Starlink and other internet services from neighbouring countries.

Daniel Bwala, one of the spokespersons for Mr Tinubu, disclosed this in an interview with a radio station, Nigeria Info, on Thursday, when asked why Nigerian security agencies were swift to track down, arrest and detain government critics but have failed to do the same with terrorists boasting and flaunting ransom on social media.

“Let me give you one scenario: There is a regulatory body in Nigeria that has a database of Nigerian people. There is also a body that deals with internet service provision, where if you are using an internet service that is covered within the sphere of Nigeria, we can trace wherever you are through your IP address.

“If you are using Starlink, we cannot trace it because Starlink is not registered in Nigeria. It’s in the space.”

Nowahala01:
Going through this passage, there's a paragraph that really interest me which I will like to clarify.

To start with, I am not surprised by Wasiu's behavior at the airport.

He is very arrogant and proud because he never knew that he would be in the position he accidentally found himself.


What concerns me is that of the vacant tool of Awùjalẹ̀ of Ìjẹ̀búland which some people are insinuating that Wasiu might be the next Awùjalẹ̀ because he is Olori Omo Oba.

For clarity, the Olori Omo Oba title bestowed on Wasiu is just an honorary chieftaincy title. This title was first given to late Otunba Subomi Ashiru Balogun just to honour him.

It has nothing to do with any ruling house in Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde.


Although, Ọ̀túnba Subomi Ashiru Balogun belonged to one of the 8 families in Fùṣẹngbùwà Ruling House.

Secondly, Wasiu is not from Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde. His father is from Epe. He is an Ifa Oracle man. He migrated to Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde and settled down at Fìdípọ̀tẹ̀ Street in Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde where he practiced his Ifa Oracle tradition.

So, there's no link between Wasiu's dad and any Ruling House in Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde. For this reason there's no way he could have fought for Awùjalẹ̀ stool because he doesn't belong to any ruling house which is Fìdípọ̀tẹ̀ Ruling House.


Thirdly, there's no rift in Fùṣẹngbùwà which is the next ruling Ruling House as claimed by some people.

The Fùṣẹngbùwà Ruling House comprises of eight families in which each family have its own Olórí-Ẹbí and then the overall Olórí-Ẹbí. The meeting is on going in each of the 8 families in Fùṣẹngbùwà Ruling House to deliberate on concensus candidate to be recommended to the kings makers.

I am writing as an Insider from Fùṣẹngbùwà Ruling House.

So, Wasiu's matter should be ruled out. Even if it is the turn of Fìdípọ̀tẹ̀ Ruling House, Ìjẹ̀bú-Òde indegenes wouldn't allow it.


There's no room for "Asawo" in Ijebu Ode in Ijebu Ode Ruling Houses. If he tries any move he will hear his story.

Wasiu's immediate junior sister got married to Colonel Awote who built his house at Erinlu on Imodi Imosan Road in Ijebu Ode.

Ko si bi won mati pin Elede ti itan e ma kon Lemomu ni, oro Wasiu ni ti Oba Ijebu Ode.
A deeply insightful.post right ABOVE.

First off, I want this attitude of calling folks and sections of the media referring to the THRONE of an Oba in Yorubaland or elsewhere as a "stool." It's deeply demeaning to say that because aside from the Ashanti of Ghana, NO king in Yorubaland sits on a "stool" BUT on a THRONE.


Second, however Epe LGA in Lagos State is ALSO part of the larger Ijebuland which extends from Lagos State right into Ogun State. Ibeju-Lekki LGA and "Ikorodu" LGA, Ajah, are ALSO extensions of the larger Ijebuland that were carved out of the Old Western Region on May 27, 1967 by General Yakubu Gowon's military government to create the new Lagos State... With over 95% of the current land mass of the current Lagos State being carved out from the original Old Western Region (including Ikorodu, Epe, Ikeja, Ibeju-Lekki, Ojo, Badagry, Orile Iganmu, Mushin, Isolo, Oshodi, Ilupeju, and more) led by the dynamic Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, and his team of innovative thinkers.

My question is this: Is it possible that Wasiu's father might have become a naturalized indigene of Ijebu-Ode despite being originally from Epe? Could it be that his family lineage ORIGINALLY migrated from Ijebu-Ode to Epe in the 1800s and then he returned. I write these BECAUSE I know full well that back in the 1800s, many Yoruba folks moved a lot from one Yoruba community to another due to the unfortunate Yoruba Civil Wars and quest for new lands to settle on. Part of the warrior Owus for instance settled in Abeokuta (Owu-Abeokuta), while some other Owus settled in Ijebuland and are known as Owu-Ijebu people as of today. The warrior Egbas were originally the indigenous people of Ibadan before migrating out in 1830 under Chief Sodeke from Ibadan to establish Abeokuta and settle in the nearby environs.

All the BEST to all Ijebu folks in the impending selection of the NEXT Awujale of Ijebuland by whatever legitimate means.

Fuji music legend, Wasiu Ayinde, has declared his intention to be considered for the vacant stool of the Awujale of Ijebuland.

Recently, the Fuji maestro caused a disruption at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja after refusing to surrender a flask believed to contain alcohol,leading to a standoff with airport officials and a delayed flight.

He was subsequently banned from flying in Nigeria, and the government reversed the decision and made him a FAAN ambassador instead.

KWAM 1, in a letter dated December 3, 2025, addressed to the Fusengbuwa ruling house of Agunsebi Quarters, stated that his ambition stemmed from his being a bona fide son of the Oba Jadiara lineage.

The musician said, “Otunba Wasiu Ayinde Adewale Olasunkanmi Omogbolahan Anifowoshe, MON, hereby formally notify the Fusengbuwa Ruling House of my intention to be considered for the vacant stool of the Awujale of Ijebuland, subject strictly to the provisions of Ijebu customary law and the Ogun State Chieftaincy Laws.

“I was born on 3rd March 1957, and I am a bona fide son of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House of Agunsebi Quarters, tracing my ancestry to the Oba Jadiara lineage, which qualifies me to present myself for consideration in accordance with established tradition.

I have devoted over five decades to the promotion of Ijebu, Yoruba and Nigerian culture through music and cultural enterprise.”

The Fuji musician touted his several personal honours, including his installation as Mayegun of Yorubaland in 2020, his conferment as Olori Omo-Oba and Otunba Afidipotemole of Akile Ijebu in 2023 by the late Awujale, and his national honour as a Member of the Order of the Niger in 2022.

According to the artiste, the process of choosing the next Awujale should be concluded “within a matter of weeks”.

Confirming the receipt of the letter of interest by Mr Ayinde, the chairman of the ruling house, Abdul Lateef Adebayo Owoyemi, in a statement on Friday, said, “I urge all our family members, home and abroad, to remain calm and confident.

I have, within two hours of receiving the said letter addressed to me and six others, by the Olori Omo Oba Akile Ijebu, sent him an appropriate response, just like I had quietly done, to similar declarations of interest in the recent past.

“In Sha Allah, we shall all have cause to rejoice and thank the Almighty God, who alone makes any one King, within a matter of weeks.

I am convinced, God Willing, that we are all very close to a very peaceful and joyous conclusion of the sacred and historic process!”

You do NOT contest for a "stool" in Yorubaland or anywhere, you contest for the THRONE as an Oba. Period.

Viral Moment: Gen. Musa’s Wife Kneels Before Tinubu in Deep Appreciation


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnwfFcevsvk
Mrs. Oghogho Christopher Musa who from her name is a Benin-Edo or Esan-Edo woman from Edo State ONLY curtsied/genuflected which is a standard mode of greeting by females in some of the Niger Delta communities, among the indigenous Yorubas of West and Central Nigeria right into Benin Republic and Togo... and more.

So, those highly irresponsible young male posters right on Page 1 of this thread who are castigating her MUST know that Nigeria isn't a culturally monolithic country and has over 300 DISTINCT ethnic groups with different cultural practices. Those insidious boys of South East of Nigeria origin on Page 1 of this NL thread who are criticizing her and others MUST learn to RESPECT other ethnic groups' or people's centuries-old cultures.


There's a prominent White woman who I read visited Nigeria a few years ago and she being culturally aware as a well-traveled person to many countries of the world was fascinated and highly impressed by the way women curtsied for elders on her visit to Lagos State and a few other cities.

Mrs. Florence Fatima Ajimobi whose biological father is a Lebanese Arab and her biological mother is an Urhobo was recently at the Palace of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Rasheed Ladoja and she was seen in pictures posted right here on NL where she curtsied for the Oba of Ibadanland. Period.

This minority Fula dude named Nasir El-Rufai whose Fula forebear originally migrated from Guinea to Nigeria according to El-Rufai after the so-called Fula jihad is rambling too much and saying banal things in order to be politically relevant.

It's time to put Nasir El-Rufai behind the curtain or bars where he truly belongs for overseeing the payment of millions of Nigerian money to foreign Fula militia bandits
from Cameroon and Niger Republic who killed innocent Southern Kaduna people instead of getting his fellow Fula cousins arrested and brought to justice. General Christopher Musa MUST ensure that justice is done for his Southern Kaduna folks in bringing Nasir El-Rufai to maximum justice for his 2017 confession that he paid money to foreign Fula militia bandits (cum herdsmen).
