When Oduduwa was old and blind, his children were called together and ordered to go and found their own kingdoms and each was given a royal symbol. During this period, Ile-Ife was hit by a prolonged drought which lasted for many years, causing faming and diseases. Finally Agirilogbon, a babalawo of Oke-Itase in Ile-Ife, counseled emigration.

According to tradition, the children went northwards and southwards. Those who went south eastwards finally settled at Ado, Owo and Benin. In addition, some of the migrants had a change of rulers in their new homes. The date of this emigration is still a subject of academic controversy. However, it is clear that it was not later than 11th century A.D. It is also difficult to know how many kingdoms resulted from this exercise. As new kingdoms grew out of the old ones, descent from Oduduwa became the test of legitimacy among the old new kingdoms.

From this period of Oduduwa, migrations out of Ile-Ife became a permanent feature of the kingdom, Migrations also took place during the reign of Ooni Luwo who was a female ruler. Luwo was considered a disciplinarian and her rulership did not go down well with the people which led to migration. Also, the success of Lajamisan, a rich Ife bead trader to the Ooniship created political crisis which was some migrations. In addition, the deposition of Ogboru, a descendant of Lajamisan, who was barnish to Ife Odan for reigning too long but more probably for cruelty, led to emigration. Migrations southwards continued till the end of 19th century. These early southward migrant were the founders of Ife-Awori settlements in Lagos state.

Early migrations to the region of Lagos were political and economic in nature. For instance, Ogunfunminire the founder of Isheri and most other migrants from Ile-Ife were farmers. It was in the course of hunting expedition that some of them finally journeyed to Lagos. But the fact that some of the migrants were not alone but in groups, suggests political organizations which could be explained in terms of inland internal political crisis and population pressure. Before migrating to Isheri, Ogunfunminire consulted Ifa oracle which counseled migration.

One of the traditions suggests that Ogunfunminir and his friend Adeyemi Onikoyi left their homes on a hunting expedition and overstayed, thereby absenting themselves from the funeral of their father. Their relation thinking them dead, put their junior brother on the throne and this annoyed the two powerful princes, when they arrived. However, they were afraid of the great damage they might cause if they decided to fight, hence Olofin took the calabash which was willed to him by his late father. The tradition continued that he followed the movement of the ritual pot placed on water until it sank and they settled in the region

The Awori are a tribe of the Yoruba people speaking a distinct dialect of the Yoruba language. Olofin and his followers left the palace of King Oduduwa in Ile-Ife and migrated southward along a river. Oduduwa had given Olofin a mud plate and instructed him to place it on the water and follow it until it sank into the river. The plate is said to have stopped at various locations and finally sank at Idumota in the present day Lagos State in Nigeria. As they were to settle wherever it sank, the people were filled with joy when this finally happened. The name AWORI, which translates as "The plate sank", became the name by which the clan is known till today.

Several days after leaving Ile-Ife, the plate suddenly stopped near Olokemeji near present day Abeokuta. After seventeen days, it began moving again, only to stop at Oke-Ata for another seventeen days. At the end of seventeen days, the plate began moving again, only to stop again on the southern outskirts of present day Abeokuta, where it stayed for another seventeen days. At this location, some of Olofin's followers decided to remain, led by a man named Osho Aro-bi-ologbo-egan.

The plate continued downriver, stopping again at Isheri, where it remained for a much longer period of time. Olofin began instructing his followers to begin setting up a permanent settlement, but after 289 days (17 x 17) the plate began moving again. Olofin and a few followers followed the plate, while the rest of the group stayed behind. After two days the plate stopped briefly at Iddo in Lagos. At Idumota in central Lagos, it whirled around in the water and sank to the bottom. When Olofin returned to his group at Iddo, they are said to have asked him where the plate was. He answered "Awo Ti Ri" meaning "The plate has sunk". This is how the name Awori is said to have come into being.

In as much knowledge and understanding differs between humans but the truth remains we have this sense of humour, rehearsing and some times makes quick judgements about life.
As such we can easily relate some events or occurances around us, we can equally recount what people meant by their actions and inactions towards us.

For instance after meeting a girl and you guys agreed to a particular purpose or relationship.
As time progresses, if you as a man still struggles or finds it difficult to communicate your feelings, ideas and future goals to her using different methodologies but all proves abortive.

You may need to reconsider your real position in her life.

By default women makes things easy to whom they love
They tend to visualise the dream or purpose faster before you go into explanation.
Most time they can predict your own future better than you can do.

So if you're going extra mile often times to convince her or always on the pleasing end.
If you still find yourself saying some words like:

"SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE HER"
Mr man your forcing things and the end product of force is catastrophic

Nwanne you may need to throw your hook to another direction before it will be night hour for you.

May we get it right at the end © 2022..

Ride on comrade.

Most people don't understand the war going on in Ukraine, Americans has labs in Ukraine which they use all kinds of biochemical materials for farm products in return they subside agricultural product from Ukraine. Those chemicals has a lot of effect on human capabilities reason why Russia is fighting them. Lol Agricultural products from Ukraine are cheaper.

SmartPolician:
Stop insulting people online.

They are just kids having fun.

Many of us played in rains when we were kids.

Are you sure you're okay. Those hefty men are kids. Stop playing politics with everything

ImperialYoruba:
He flogged obi at NBA forum.

Do you want a replay of the sessions?

When obi is by himself answering questions his childlike responses are cerebral to his impressionable followers, they hype him.

When Shettima is there with Obi and the two have to give responses to same questions, you can instantly see that Obi lacks brilliance. This is because there is a soundboard to compare him with. Shettima outshines him.

Obidients should make sure obi is never asked questions where brilliant opponents are present. His dullness is easy to see.

Now, I heard this Peter Obi Gringori studied law and economics in university and finished first class honors. So why is he not bright?

lol

Softmirror:
TINUBU HAD BEEN A MILLIONAIRE IN DOLLARS SINCE BEFORE BECOMING A GOVERNOR.

NA POOR PEOPLE LIKE UNA DEY ALWAYS THINK SAY GOVERNMENT IS ALL ABOUT STEALING.

see your mouth

etrouble:
Are you held at gun point in Lagos? I recall that that when Tinubu's boys Fashola and Aregbesola abducted several of you all over Lagos and Osun and dumped you at Upper Iweka Bridge Head Onitsha at 2:00AM, before 2:10AM, you have all jumped into the next available Mallam Audu's trailer moving Cows to Lagos.

As Yorubas pray to go to Heaven, your parents pray to go to Yoruba land

without the Igbos staying in Lagos, the state will be empty with less revenue generating. Check during Xmas time you will see how scanty Lagos roads are. Even the businesses that generate revenue for the state is 60% own by other tribes. How many Yoruba is doing business in Lagos. Everyday urchins keep talking about how other tribes should leave Lagos as if without other tribe that Lagos will be what it is today. Get sense bro.

rusher14:
Where are the railways in Anambra state?

your level of reasoning is too low, I can't argue with a person thhat have such low mental caliber. You are a disgrace to these youth of this generation. We are talking about project inflation you're talking about anambra

Lanretoye:
I see the stuff u are made of,see blemished thinking.huh...the government provide infrastructure for free and thats why you see these kind of developments in your own state.in America self residents don't pay taxes.

This is the type of government system you want, where they inflate project 50times of normal amount. I weep for you bro seriously. The said Chinese company said they where paid 180million dollars for the project. Where is the rest of the money. Until we learn to ask government workers questions this country can't work. Please don't play politics with everything. We are suffering bad government together.
Thanks

etrouble:
Please let's compare to the cost of the one built for Anambra, Imo, Enugu, Abia and Ebonyi states. Of however there is none in those states and you are not concerned about that, instead you are concerned about how Yorubas spend their IGR, then do a self assessment of yourself, don't you think you need psychiatric evaluation?

Akpa-amu these said moneys are loans. Reason why Lagos state government want to kill residents of Lagos with taxation. Get sense bro

Urchins defending corruption just imaging tax payers money been looted. Urchins agbadorite are happy about it. The said Chinese company said they where only paid $180million, Lagos state government where is the rest of the money. $1.5 billion stolen just like that. Lol

Christistruth00:

mugu so you don't know that residents of Lagos state will pay back the money use in building that train tracks. Lol Residents of lagosians need to know how there money are been spent. Akpa-amu. Be supporting
Bat-thing.

KingKO22:
At lest we are going to have first Light Rail by state government since 1960.

What's your state doing with its allocation ?
If all your governors are holly than the, I think we should having about 36 trail projects in different parts of the country.
But you are busy castigating the only working and walking state in Nigeria.

Trash from Zombidients

Another agbado urchin the said money was borrowed. Lagosian future has been mortgaged. Reason Lagos state is looking for who to tax and pay back the stolen money. Please try not to justify bribing and corruption in the name of supporting a politician who no send your papa message.

Christistruth00:


It costs more to build because lagos is a Waterlogged Marsh Area , addis ababa is not

There are many bridges that need to be built in addition to filling the waterlogged areas with Water Resistant Rocks and Concrete that will form a Solid foundation and barrier against flooding from Ocean water and it will cost more than the laying of the Train Tracks itself

Look at this Railway Bridge along the line on the Lagoon towards marina for example,
it is very expensive to build on the Sea

Did you watch the video where he said he Google about the transactions with the said company. The amount the company said Lagos state government paid them. Please watch the video and stop talking shit

Abdul4trust1:
Post the supporting documents so that we can verify this claim

watch the video till end all evidence is there.

Please watch the video you will see the corruption going on. Lol

Here are the results.

Ethiopia
$5.2 million per KM ($4.5 billion total) for the 759 Km heavy duty standard guage rail line from Djibouti to Ethiopia. Finished in 4 years. Can carry container of goods and passengers

Lagos
$54 million per KM ($1.5 billion total) for the 27KM light rail line in Lagos. Can only carry passengers. It's over 12 years and still not finished.

Conclusion
Back in China where records must be submitted to the stock exchange, the company that built both lines reported that what they were paid for the Lagos rail is $181 million, but Tinubu's Lagos said they spent $1.5 billion.

Lagos people should ask Tinubu where he kept their $1.2 billion.

79,000 Nigerian muslims spent $5,000 each to go to Saudi Arabia to kill the devil with stones. $395 Million from a poor underdeveloped country like Nigeria.
Saudi economy is growing through tourism.
50,000 Christians went to Israel to kiss Jesus statue there and attach JP to their names. $250 Million == $645 Million - ( over Half a BILLION dollars�‍♂️)
This happens 2 times a year.
$1.3 billion.
Let's not convert it to naira because some of us will not sleep, but let's try. ( 782 billion naira, Over half a trillion naira.)
This amount can be used to fund fresh graduates who have innovative ideas and in turn, create millions of jobs.
Since we have been traveling to Israel and Saudi Arabia, has our economy improved? �

Africans (especially Nigerians) what is wrong with our logic? Africans lost their self awareness when they embrace white and Arab men religion. Our ancestors religion was better and stronger than these alien religion that was forced on us.

Move on bro. You need to understand how relationship works, don't put all your hope on one woman. They will always disappoint you when you list expect it. Women can't be trusted when as a man you're doing well in terms of cash flow. When money no dee them go abandon you for the next guy available. Get multiple female friends until you're ready to settle down. Only men that LOVE, women are opportunist. They move with the best option. Have that in mind then you can have peace

I wanted to get a new SIM to complement the one I already have. Then I decided to patronise a road side sim vendor and the unexpected happened.

During registration, I gave out the needed details to the vendor and the registration was going on smoothly until it got to capturing.

Usually, you are expected to be captured once but the vendor captured me twice and that made me suspicious. So I queried him but he gave a flimsy excuse.

Immediately after the registration, I got a welcome text message indicating I registered two numbers instead of one and

I asked why two numbers registered in my name instead of one, the vendor said "it's normal, that sometimes the issue is from the network operators”.

The next day, I went to Glo office to lay a complain and the moment I mentioned what brought me, the manager there said

"these guys again? Why doing these to innocent people"?, that was when I realized the gravity of what just happened. The second number was deregistered, the case was reported and the guy was picked up.

Questioning the vendor, he said they usually use people's details to register other sim cards which they resell to "car trackers" at a higher price.

On further interrogation, he confessed that he uses people's details to register sim cards which they sell to fraudsters,

ritualists, kidnappers and he makes a lot of money from the business.

Now, imagine if he sold this second number to a kidnapper or a fraudster and when tracked, my picture and details would pop up and it would be difficult to deny.

I'm putting this out here because a lot of innocent people are in prisons today because of cr!me they know nothing about.

While doing your registration, please be attentive and report any suspicion to the right authority.

The biggest country that the United Kingdom colonized in Asia is India (which then comprised the present Pakistan and Bangladesh). When the UK came into Nigeria and India, like all other countries they colonized, they brought along their technology, religion (Christianity), and culture: names, dressing, food, language, etc.

Try as hard as the British did, India rejected the British religion, names, dressing, food, and even language, but they did not reject the British technology. Today, 80.5% of Indians are Hindus; 13.4% Muslims; 2.3% Christians; 1.9% Sikhs; 0.8% Buddhists, etc. Hindi is the official language of the government of India, but English is used extensively in business and administration and has the status of a “subsidiary official language.” It is rare to find an Indian with an English name or dressed in suit.

On the other hand, Nigeria embraced, to a large extent, the British religion, British culture – names, dressing, foods, and language – but rejected the British technology. The difference between the Nigerian and the Indian experiences is that while India is proud of its heritage, Nigeria takes little pride in its heritage, a situation that has affected the nationalism of Nigerians and our development as a nation. Before the advent of Christianity, the Arabs had brought Islam into Nigeria through the North. Islam also wiped away much of the culture of Northern Nigeria. Today, the North has only Sharia Courts but no Customary Courts. So from the North to the South of Nigeria, the Western World and the Eastern World have shaped our lives to be like theirs and we have lost much or all of our identity.

Long after the British and Arabs left Nigeria, Nigeria has waxed strong in religion to the extent that Nigerians now set up religious branches of their home-grown churches in Europe, the Americas, Asia and other African countries. Just like the Whites brought the gospel to us, Nigerians now take the gospel back to the Whites. In Islam, we are also very vibrant to the extent that if there is a blasphemous comment against Islam in Denmark or the US, even if there is no violent reaction in Saudi Arabia, the Islamic headquarters of the world, there will be loss of lives and destruction of property in Nigeria.

If the United Arab Emirates, a country with 75% Muslims, is erecting the tallest building in the world and encouraging the world to come and invest in its country by providing a friendly environment, Boko Haram ensures that the economy of the North (and by extension that of Nigeria) is crippled with bombs and bullets unless every Nigerian converts to Boko Haram’s brand of Islam. We are indeed a very religious people. Meanwhile, while we are building the biggest churches and mosques, the Indians, South Africans, Chinese, Europeans and Americans have taken over our key markets: telecoms, satellite TV, multinationals, banking, oil and gas, automobile, aviation, shopping malls, hospitality, etc.

Ironically, despite our exploits in religion, we are a people with little godliness, a people without scruples. It is rare to do business with a Nigerian pastor, deacon, knight, elder, brother, sister, imam, mullah, mallam, alhaji or alhaja without the person laying landmines of bribes and deception on your path. We call it PR, facilitation fee, processing fee, transport money, financial engineering, deal, or whatever. But if it does not change hands, nothing gets done. And when it is amassed, we say it is “God’s blessings.” Some people assume that sleaze is a problem of public functionaries, but the private sector seems to be worse than the public sector these days.

One would have assumed that the more churches and mosques that spring up in every nook and cranny of Nigeria, the higher the morals in our society. But it is not so. The situation is that the more religious we get, the baser we become. Our land never knew the type of bloodshed experienced from religious extremists, political desperadoes, ritual killers, armed robbers, kidnappers, internet scammers, university cultists, and lynch mobs. Life has become so cheap and brutish that everyday seems to be a bonanza.

We import the petroleum that we have in abundance, rice and beans that our land can produce in abundance, and even toothpicks that primary school children can produce with little or no effort. Yet we drive the best of cars and live in the best of edifices, visit the best places in the world for holidays and use the most expensive electronic and telecoms gadgets. It is now a sign of poverty for a Nigerian to ride a saloon car. Four-wheel drive is it! Even government officials, who were known to use only Peugeot cars as official cars as a sign of modesty, have upgraded to Toyota Prado, without any iota of shame, in a country where about 70 per cent live below poverty. Private jets have become as common as cars. A nation that imports toothpicks and pins, flaunts wealth and wallows in ostentation at a time its children are trooping to Ghana, South Africa and the UK for university education and its sick people are running to India for treatment.

India produces automobile and exports it to the world. India’s medical care is second to none, with even Americans and Europeans travelling to the country for medical treatment. India has joined the nuclear powers. India has launched a successful mission to the moon. Yet bicycles and tricycles are common sights in India. But in Nigeria, only the wretched of the earth ride bicycles.

I have intentionally chosen to compare Nigeria with India rather than China, South Korea, Brazil, Malaysia, or Singapore, because of the similarities between India and Nigeria. But these countries were not as promising as Nigeria at the time of our independence.

Some would say that our undoing is our size: the 2012 United Nations estimate puts Nigeria’s population at 166 million, while India has a population of 1.2 billion. Some would blame it on the multiplicity of ethnic groups: we have 250 ethnic groups; India has more than 2000 ethnic groups. Some would hang it on the diversity in religion: we have two major religions – Christianity and Islam; but India has many. Some would say it is because we are young as an independent nation: we have 52 years of independence; India has 65 years, while apartheid ended in South Africa only in 1994. Let's vote in the right people into power, their is still hope for a better Nigeria.

When you have your own children you can use them for experiment by sending them to North Cyprus but for now, the FG advisory stands. Any Nigerian Youth going to Cyprus north should get ready to get killed and FG can not save you!
To avoid wasting your life in a foreign land, do not go to Northern Cyprus for now. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
Go to any other country but Northern Cyprus.

These guys saying FG is lying are recruiters looking for their commission instead of finding alternative safe countries for you. Northen cyprus is not even a country!

How many people has federal government saved in northern Nigeria. Stop spinning properganda. That stuff is a fake news. No rule of law in Nigeria. Go to twitter and see David Hundeyin latest discovery of how federal government fund terrorism. Lol

FreeStuffsNG:
What you wrote up there does not make sense.
If more than 20 youths have been killed and it went uninvestigated then that is more important than any other excuse.

If you are a Nigerian youth, do not go to North Cyprus to study or work, they will kill you and instead of answering for your death and conse your family they will come on nairaland tjrough proxies to make lousy excuses on why your life is less important than their recruitment business.
Do not go to North Cyprus! FG and your family can not protect you there.

With all the corruption going on in this Buhari's administration, the Obidient's urchins still want Peter Obi to be President? god forbid. It's a shame because Peter Obi and his Obidient urchins cannot do anything.

Tinubu should be given the chance to continue where Buhari stops.

The burden will be too much for Peter Obi, we need a strong and highly experienced Bola Ahmed Tinubu to take Nigeria to greater heights.

Peter Obi is a failure, he failed in Anambra.


My fellow youths, we cannot risk our future in the hands of Peter Obi and his Obidient urchins, it would be suicidal to make such a mistake now .

Wake up my fellow Nigerians and let support Bola Ahmed Tinubu, he's the Messiah we all have always wished for .

god bless my fellow youths

we should follow a 88years old man, who can not make a comprehensive statement because he want to be a president. Eee be like say them swear for you abi. You are a money worshipper, you have sold your soul for just a bread that won't last. My advise to you, yes things are hard right now for everybody and you have to do what you have to do to survive but that should not mean their is no hope for you to make it tomorrow. Don't let politicians to use and dump you because of the token they're offering you currently.

Government will come back to create fake stories about the host country. Nigeria ehn
