ujoinme: lolthe heat is on!
PM your guy eko ole so you guys can come up with a response name calling is not goint to cut it!

That is part of the cyber bullying tactics of the ACN lap dogs.
If they are not insulting and abusing you they will label you PDP man as if any one who points out the many faults of ACN must be a PDP person.

Did not work then, won't work now.

[quote author=ShyM-X]Lmao @ the bolded.

I'm sure the dodgy man must have been chest-beating everywhere back then about his forged qualifications and lack of achievement. Emegwali-esque pseudo-intellectuals!!

These people are clowns! [/quote]@ Katsumoto,

Did you see the last sentence of shymex post above?

Sibrah: Aregbe in deep poooooo for acting b4 thinking. He should have focus on adding value in a meaningful way and not neccesarily in a noisy and wasteful way. However i wouldn't blame him on the state of the schools.

So who will you blame for the pathetic state of osun schools

Katsumoto: Is anyone boasting about Tinubu's certificate or did Tinubu forge a certificate?

Did you read the Shymex post I responded to?
Maybe you need to go over it again slowly.

BTW, I liked your revelation about the certificate forger who was appointed by Zik based on the integrity you have established here without cross-checking elsewhere.
I hope you will continue with that integrity.

musiwa25: if you look at ondo state... he has been wise.. he invested the money , the profit of that investment is what ondo state is using to build school.

Is the Ondo state governor also one of those ACN guys handpicked by strategically tactical wise man of the South West, Asiwaju Tinubu

[quote author=Eko Ile][/quote]Thought you were doing Ben Johnson?
Changed your mind? That was very quick, don't you think?

Thanks for showing us the UTTER CLUELESSNESS and blatant thievery of Amosun, the PDP reject who found his way to ACN. Building new schools while so many are dilapidated.

One would have thought your recent extra assignment to Rivers would have revealed how it is done by serious people. Obviously you find it difficult to adapt better models for rehabilitating structures.

Some of us who were quick to recognise the scam of the fraudsters assembled in the Association of Conmen in Nigeria were called names.
It is good to know others can see the crooks for what they really are.
Leaving the BASICS and giving yoyo, cheap & cheerful projects at hyper inflated costs that have no impact on SUSTAINABLE development.

We shall OVERCOME!!!

[quote author=ShyM-X]Says the rainbow-writing duffer with the IQ of a mole.

The last time I checked: this is the internet.

Or do you want me to explain the ethics of the internet to you, the dumb one? [/quote]This thread is certainly bringing the John Benson out of the ACN crowd.
Can't take the heat
Get out of the kitchen.

Pataki: OP, advertizing the reasons why PDP was kicked out from the SW!


Keep it up!!!!

And Lagos where Tinubu and his boy, boy Fashola have been in continuous control for over 14 years

So why are you and other yoruba diasporans on NL if you "don't care about Nigeria"?
Is it possible for you to say something coherent?

amarilo: Hahahahaha see ben Johnson.

This one na FAKE running as with all things ACN. He will soon be back here like a peeping Tom.
He cannot be referred to as disgraced Ben Johnson.
Let's dash him John Benson instead for his temporary disappearing act as the heat is getting too much to handle for him and othe ACN paid propagandists.

[quote author=oily+Yoruba] Where is that batty man called eko OLE.

BTW, @ all, how do I post pictures on NL. Thanks[/quote]Check this thread and look forward to your pictures uploaded on NL too.

Ladies must be careful with what they do

Na wa for you oh. Let me resist the urge to say more than that.
She may have the vibrator to reduce temptation for casual sex.
You obviously have not asked yourself why they had to drug her first. Or have you

KayEnn: And why is this not in the front page?...MODs

Good question.
Mods over to you.

234GT: Amosun should renovate these schools and many others in Ogun state instead of building new model schools. It is simply common sense.
Why build mega schools with billions of naira, when you can simply spend wisely by renovating existing schools which are in terrible conditions?

Our leaders obviously do not think that way.
Probably they have their brains in between their legs.

I thought retardeen is not working and cannot achieve anything since he is clueless, if we are to believe the propagandists from ACN. They believe governance is about building narrow bridge at Mokola, paying 20% subsidy on gas cylinder to their godfather's company while education of children is NEGLECTED.
What a bunch of fake progressives!!!

This gesture should facilitate greater collaboration between the two countries particularly in the area of promoting intra-African business and investment with positive impact on employment.
Good one from GEJ despite the numerous distractions.

[quote author=Olufon-ade]I've always been surprised anytime I hear people accusing the prophet of married 9year old girl. They forget or don't know that Marry gave birth to Jesus when she was just 14years and besides she was married to a man (Joseph) in his 90s. for confirmation, google: how old was virgin marry when she got pregnant?[/quote]Don't you think you are going too far by TRYING to justify Muhammed's paedophile behaviour by asserting without basis that Mary was 14 when she gave birth to Jesus

Have you read that she was enagaged-to-be-married to Joseph at the time of CONCEPTION (not birth)?

wellmax: The OYO state Govt is doing something great and all some people can see is negetive. I pity your life, you don't see anything good in anything. You clowns, before you compare Akwa Ibom with OYO, first Oyo is an ancient city andd you don't have that luxury of space like you have in Aks. Secoundly take a lookk at the resources available too both states.
STATE ALLOCATION FOR MAY 2013
1. Akwa Ibom. 31LGCs. N69.4bn
9. Oyo. 33 LGCs. N24.6bn

Did you factor in the fact that Ibadan and Oyo state was the centre of political and administrative activities by Awolowo as the capital of the Western region some 60 years ago

erayo2GCA: u na train mechanic? we have people like u in this country and Fashola is patronizing Canada train manufacturers

And you don't know why Fashola and other public servants prefer to buy refurbished and painted second hand things as new from abroad even when there is capacity locally

gregg2: We know. I am a GEJ supporter because I believe apart from the Boko Haram setback the country is moving ahead. Olisa Metuh should step up his game even if the party decides to return him.

Exactly.
He or anyone who will occupy that post must be sharp and quick witted ready to promptly research and highlight the usual LIES emanating from the ACN spokesman, Mr. Lie Muhammed in less than 12 hours.

I understand there is a Premium Times report that the trailer driver had been listening to Eko Ile FM.
Apparently the driver took Eko Ile and the ACN propaganda team seriously that clueless Joe has done nothing about trains so the driver was just driving like no man business.
Hopefully others who have been listening to the LIES emanating from Eko Ile and co would have learnt their lesson.

9jacrip: Sir, what do you mean by the bolded'?

What is 'modern Yoruba history?

[size=15pt]Islam made its way into Yoruba land, thanks to the contact Mr. Afonja made with the Fulanis and the invasion of the Yoruba land/Jihad[/size]

Not quite correct.
Islam made its way into yoruba land through commerce. It was the same way christianity came into Nigeria. First by commerce. Later war, annexation and colonisation.
The commerce with the fulanis included slave trade that ended up in Arab land.

Afam4eva: Yes, Akwa-Ibom probably has one of the best infrastructure right now. But all these infrastructure will become rustic in years to come if the people are not developed alongside the infrastructure. We can see an example of that from Calabar. A city must be able to sustain itself and not wait for a governor to build gigantic structures before it can be relevant.

That is why HUMAN CAPITAL development through free and COMPULSORY education for all children resident in a state is very important with emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) as well as vocational schools.
The PDP governors of Akpabio and Amaechi as well as LP's Mimiko in Ondo realise and are seriously working on this cornerstone of SUSTAINABLE development.

However the pseudo-progressives who CLAIM to be inheritors of Awo's legacy say we don't need that anymore.

Eko Atlantic: Those days of free education are over in SW. Free education was implemented by Awolowo to encourage Yorubas to study then, while other regions were still in stone age. Yorubas don't need encouragement anyone because every family knows the importance of education. You wonder why SW higher institutions have the highest cut-off and requirement for admission, because competition to gain admission in SW is too high, everybody wants to be a graduate.

maclatunji: Reducing poverty, improving access to healthcare, engaging in the political process to help make Nigeria better. Educating the young ones to improve their chances of ascending the social ladder in future. Improving the standing of Muslims in the society etc.

Are these virtues exclusive to islam as a religion

funnyx: Internal strife was the major undoing of the Yoruba kingdom then, it wasn't as if Fulani could have overun Yorubaland so easily but because of the division it was easy to conquer village by village. The table turned when the great warriors of ibadan intervened and sent fulani back.

That may not be entirely true.
War is bad no doubt but it also allows for a lot of inventions that are converted to regular, daily peaceful use after the war.
I imagine the internal strife of yoruba city-states led to people being forced into alliances and building city walls, organising armies, greater metal works, organising markets and securing them etc.
Do you know how much "internal strife" there was among European nations up until as recent as 1945, the end of WW2
Would you say Europe is undone?

We should stop thinking in simplex mode and try to look at things from a very comprehensive perspective.

Walexz02: your problem is half/false knowledge and false knowledge they say is more dangerouse than ignorance". Bring forth your cooked proves and I shall help you re-cook them ok?

Pretending won't help your cause.
You would do better to quote parts of the Koran that allows muslims to freely leave without being challenged by others.
Is that something you are willing to do

nijanigga: If you're waiting for my source, you won't get one, it's left for you to do your research and come back with your results. May I ask you,where was the first poundo-yam machine made? Before it was stolen by white men, developed if fully and exported by to Nigeria? That's how you kill people's will.

You miss my point entirely.
There is no doubt about our INDIVIDUAL intelligence and creativity as black people but how do we translate it into societal advancement?
Is it due to our primitive selfishness

BTW, the poundo-yam machine was designed and developed by a Nigerian for sure but could not be mass produced and marketed from Nigeria hence it being hijacked by those who understand and have the means devoted to creating value for sale.
Samsung and LG are arguably the leading TV brands today. They are both South Korean companies. South Korea had nothing to do with the development of TV technology.

Egun to ko jo, afaimo ko ma je pe iran ni o ma wo gbehin - the masquerade that danced first may end up being a spectator.

Codedrock: Wao! I love my land.. Yorubas we are too creative! Hope you igbos&hausas here are seeing those art works those buildings.. Up YORUBA.. we lead while others follow!

Abeg stop your unnecessary ethno-boast.
Have you seen the Igbo and hausa cultural heritage items

Did you hear about the Nok culture? Nok is supposed to be based somewhere in the middle belt of Nugeria today and the archeological finds bear semblance to some of the works from Ife, believe to be the cradle of the yoruba nation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nok_culture

Every ethnic group has something to be proud of in its heritage.
The big question we should ask is:

If our ancestors made so much progress on their own (from running around naked to making fabulous things for daily life's convenience), how come we have not been able to make any progress in modern day

maxani: Very beautiful, dude.I am a film maker. I am making a documentary film on Nigeria at the moment. I'll like to work with you on a separate one about the Yoruba kingdom. Let me know if you are interested.

Good initiative. I hope the documentary comes out well and leads to other similar laudable initiatives.
I find it very shameful that our rich cultural heritage is mostly DETAINED and EXPLOITED by our white masters.
Shameful.
Yet we have wealthy people who cannot be bothered to invest in and turn a profit from cultural heritage projects.

I remember some story about Oyinlola paying millions of dollars to re-acquire artefacts collected by some Australian(?) from Osun state.
Crazy!!!

nijanigga: This is the most beautiful part. The first bicycle was made in Ogun state, before white men came and stole the technology and kill the will of the ogun state people to develop

What is the basis of this assertion?
Any source?
Why and how did the Ogun people allow their will to develop be killed
Looks like another attempt to abscond RESPONSIBILITY for our failures!!!

Let us not forget that the yorubas had been trading with the fulanis at the northern fringes of the old Oyo empire and also with Portuguese from the coast since the 15th century. It is not unlikely that the technological items were the result of such interacton as opposed to complete development by the yorubas.

jennyo: I thought the yoruba name was given by the fulanis' and by the 11th century there was nothing like yoruba land or tribe rather we had the Aworis,ijebu's Egba's and the Oyo

You are correct.
I understand we were called Anagos until the fulanis coined the name Yorubawa to imply the cunning nature of the Oyo people in trading transactions. Yorubas in Cote d'Ivoire are still called Anango till today.
Oyo dialect dominated as it was the language of the rather large empire that covered almost the entire present day yoruba land.
Can anyone see some similarity in the agbada designs of yorubas and fulanis as well as with royal trumpets (kakaaki oba)
It seems the trading with the Portuguese was mainly by the coastal people such as Ijebus and Binis who had a strong presence in Eko that can still be seen today if you dig well enough.
I think the rather developed nature of the yoruba society was partly based on the city-states that existed very early on thus allowing division of labour, specialisation and civil authority organisation at different levels from the family to household to quarters, village and town/king.

BTW the OP did not state the source or maybe he wrote it all up himself like that.
