Politics / Victoms Of The Immigration Recruitment In 2014 Cries Out. -Pic by Anseth(m): 8:32pm On Aug 27, 2015 |
[b] I got this shocking revelation from an anonymous friend on Facebook. For the purpose of not being victimised, i would please beg that you don't include my identity. I'm sure you heard about the immigration recruitment in 2014 where about 16persons lost their lives. GEJ ordered the creation of a Presidential Committee to Assist in a new recruitment process and after a very transparent and legal one between February and May2015, I was recruited and have since begun induction course at my state of origin (Edo) but just last week, we were asked to go back home till further notice without any explanation and later our CG(DS Parradang) was suspended on the grounds that the recruitment was illegal (pls note that we didn't pay a dime to anybody for the positions). Now, he has been replaced and we do not know our fate but have decided to cry out on twitter and other social media with #NIS2015RecruitsTrueTales . Please help us spread our cry for fairness and justice which GEJ had already laid down. Please if you know anybody who is also a victim kindly share the person's ordeal. [/b]

Culture / On The Ownership Of Lagos! by Anseth(m): 2:55pm On Aug 21, 2015 |
Lagos is a Portuguese name meaning lagoon, the name became needful when the invaders saw that the place was similar to the Lagos in their country, with reference to it topography.(confirm from the map of Portugal) Lagos originally called EKO a word meaning 'war camp' in the Edo language, showing that the territory was owned and administered by the Oba of Benin. The battle for the soul of Lagos began towards the end of the 19th century and was fully actualised in the 1900s, when England abandoned the slave trade following the industrial revolution. The overthronment of Oba Akitoye by king Kosoko and the returned of Akitoye through the help of Britain and his subsequent dead, his successor chief Dosumu lack of strong will to effect the stop of the slave after it was outlawed, paved way for the full take over the territory by the British, as a port town, it serves England's interest. Typical of all port cities be it Liver pool or Miami it is bound to be cosmopolitan, with people everywhere converging for business. Of all the people that have ever governed Lagos non originally is from the place, Jakande-Kwara, Tinubu- Osun, Fashola-Ekiti, Ambode-Ondo, Oba of Lagos- Ogun. The dominance of the Yoruba people in the city is a matter of proximity and no other, the word 'EKO' been the original name of the place has no meaning in the yoruba language and the nearest in sound to the word is 'OKO' meaning 'cassava farm' now if the place was a swamp how then do you plant cassava there? Which suggest a missing link, who owns the place should give the name. The current native and immigrant war, currently on going in the city state and targeting at non Yoruba is a misplaced priority and the archives should be visited and should be traced down to the reign of Oba ORHOGBUA the foremost ruler of the ancient Benin kingdom, Founder(s) Of Lagos Edo Civilization, Esan War Machine and the Founding Of Lagos (Expanded And Revised) By Anthony Okosun The Portuguese visited West Africa at a time the Edos had an empire that was very largely in control of a very vast portion of West Africa. The empire of the Edos spread from today’s Nigeria to Ghana. The Oba of Benin, back then, Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Orhogbua was represented in Portugal by an Ambassador and the King of Portugal, back then King Emmanuel was represented in Edo Empire’s administrative capital Benin city by an Ambassador sent from Portugal. The king of Portugal and the Oba of Benin agreed that international trading ports should be built in some locations along the West African coast where the Oba had influence and control. The international trading ports became the matrix cornerstones for some of today's major cities along the west coast of Africa. Lagos is one of the international trading ports built then as a result of the joint Portuguese - Edo venture. The Edos called the settlement where the port was built Eko, meaning camp in Esan Edo. The Portuguese called the settlement Lagos, which means lakes in Portuguese. Back then, there was already a city in Portugal also known as Lagos. To have a better understanding of what the Edos did in Lagos, we should consider a modern example, very near home. There were folks in Abuja and the other settlements that constitute Nigeria's federal capital territory. However, the genesis of the Abuja that we have today is directly traceable to the decision of the federal government of Nigeria under General Murtala Muhammed to relocate Nigeria's federal capital from Lagos to the present location. Thus the founder of Abuja as Nigeria's federal capital territory is the Federal Government of Nigeria. Today, the Federal Government of Nigeria runs Abuja. The Federal Government of Nigeria has broken up Abuja into districts and zones and has named the zones and districts. The Federal Government of Nigeria is running Abuja now. The above is exactly, the story of the Edo people in Lagos. The Edos and the Portuguese settled on Lagos Island as a choice location to build an international trading port and thereafter, the Edos "possessed" the place. An ancient port was built, and for hundreds of years the Edos developed, controlled and managed Lagos. Research has actually shown that the Edos extended their control, influence, dominion and suzerainty over Eko from Lagos Island to all that area now known, called and referred to as Lagos State. Thus, the gist of this article is not about who discovered Lagos, but who founded Lagos. The era of the founding of Lagos is over now. This article is not about the ownership of Lagos, based on the Edos past occupation of Lagos. The British came after the Edos, they too have since left the scene. This article is about the aspects of the Edo founding of Lagos that have been forgotten or have been undetected by Historians radar. The experiment of the Edos and the Portuguese in Lagos (Eko) is reminiscent of the experiments that created New York, Los Angeles, London and Chicago among many other global cities. The above named locations are all cities that were built on the platform of trading ports and exploded around such ports. These cities and many other global cities all grew exponentially as a result of the development or building of ports in such locations. Chicago did not grow into a major city until an inland water-way port was built in Chicago. Lagos which was initially a camp (Eko) established by the Edos for the development of a trading port, has now grown into a major cosmopolitan settlement. Unfortunately, the story of the founding of Lagos has suffered severe mutilation, by many who had hitherto attempted to tell the story of the founding of Lagos with a jaundiced perspective. The oral version of the founding of Lagos has been so tampered with, that the names of places in Lagos today are meaningless in any language whatsoever. These names are only meaningful if reversed back to the language of the original founders of Lagos. The language of the original founders of Lagos is the Esan Edo language. The history of early Lagos is embedded in the names of places in Lagos. A good understanding of that language, which is the Esan dialect of the Edo language will throw open the doors to the history of early lagos. It is manifestly obvious that the early history of Lagos Island can be very easily deciphered by an accurate understanding of the names that have remained in Lagos from the time of the founding of Lagos. Eko is not a general Edo word. Eko and Idumu as in Idumota and Idumagbo and all the Idis and Idus are all specifically Esan Edo names. They are not Bini Edo nor Afemai Edo. The Benin alternative for Idumu is Idunmwun. In Lagos we have Idumu as in Idumu-Ota and Idumu-Agbo. Thus Lagos was originally founded by the Esan Edos. However, we should recognize that while the Esan soldiers were founding Eko and many other parts of what is today known as Lagos State, under the auspices of the Edo army; the Bini army was contemporaneously founding Etin Osa, Agidingbi, Oshodi et al. (All Bini Edo names). IDU-GARRAN (Quarters of Igarra [soldiers] confirms the presence of Etsako Edos in the Eko project. Without a doubt, all the members of the Edo family i.e. Esans, Etsakos (Osakon) [meaning Dental Surgeons] were in Lagos at the invitation of Emperor Orhogbua. otherwise the debate will be on ending and the fight will amount to seating history on it 1 Like |

Politics / Why Buhari Must Apologise To Nigerians for Deception by Anseth(m): 11:17am On Aug 20, 2015 |
Why Buhari Must Apologise To Nigerians for Deception. The Buhari/APC administration came to office on the mantra of Sincerity and integrity the following cases has shown that they were never sincere from the beginning. 1.ELECTRICITY BEFORE ELECTION Many Nigerians voted Buhari /APC Because They Promised to generate 20,000 Megawatts of Electricity to solve the persistent issue of power cuts , Garba Shehu himself personally signed the release. (see Evidence below) http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/02/02/well-generate-20000mw-of-electricity-in-4-years-says- buhari/ http://thenationonlineng.net/buhari-well-deliver-20000mw-four-years/ AFTER ELECTION Lai Mohammed Disowned the Promise claiming it was simply a Road Map http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/07/backlash-the-economics-of-lai-mohammed/ 2. ASSET DECLARATION BEFORE ELECTION “I believe if Nigeria does not kill corruption; corruption will kill Nigeria. I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liabilities and encourage my political appointees to also publicly declare their assets and liabilities.” https://www.naij.com/388617-buhari-promises-to-publicly-declare-assets-if-elected.html AFTER THE ELECTION The Man previously declared he has at least One million in his account is now refusing to let the world know what he filed at the CCB, Declaring that it was APC who made the Promise not him. When did the Nigerian Constitution start allowing Independent candidacy? https://www.thecable.ng/adesina-buhari-never-said-will-publish-asset http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-vp-fail-to-declare-assets-publicly/ 3 DIRECTORATE OF STATE SECURITY SERVICE BEFORE ELECTION Stop politicising the DSS DSS Spokeswoman an Untrained PDP member http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/dss-accuses-apc-of-hacking-into-inec-s-database/198641/ AFTER THE ELECTION Buhari Appoints his village Man a Card Carrying Member of the APC and chairman intelligence sub Committee of the APC Presidential campaign Organisation as DG DSS http://nigerianpilot.com/revealed-dss-dg-daura-is-apc-member/ 4. OFFICE OF THE FIRST LADY BEFORE THE ELECTION I won't have an office of the first Lady “The Office of the First Lady is not in the constitution, so there’s no official role for them,” http://dailytrust.com.ng/daily/top-stories/42969-i-won-t-have-office-for-first-lady-buhari AFTER THE ELECTION The same man goes on to secretly appoint several Senior Special Assistant(s) SSA's for His wife and other Aides who draw salaries and allowances from Tax payers for an office he describes as unconstitutional! In complimenting his efforts his wife takes over the Office of the Firstlady with full Parafenlia and complement of Aides using a New nomenclature known as "Wife of the President. http://www.punchng.com/news/aisha-buhari-takes-over-patience-jonathans-office/ 5. BOKO HARAM BEFORE ELECTION The Retired General Promised to crush boko Haram in 2 moths while El-rufai made jest of our Brothers and sisters in the Army despite the huge sacrifice they and their families continue to make. If you elect me as the President of Nigeria ,I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months - General Buhari www.thenationonlineng.net/polls-campaign-promises-great-expectations/ AFTER THE ELECTION In one month alone under Buhari Boko Haram Killed 625 Nigerians After 3 months he has given the army another 3 months to flush the insurgents http://thecityreporters.com/625-nigerians-killed-by-boko-haram-under-buhari/ 6. NAIRA DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE BEFORE THE ELECTION I have done it before, I know how to do it and I will do it again, more especially when Igbos are more of traders and businessmen,” - Buhari http://www.punchng.com/politics/buhari-promises-to-bring-down-dollar-rate/ AFTER ELECTION Under his administration Nigerians bought the dollar at the highest rate they have ever bought the green back =N= 250 http://www.bellanaija.com/2015/08/03/naira-dollar-exchangerate-now-n250-to-1-at-black-market/ 7. CORRUPTION BEFORE THE ELECTION “We need to know how much has been spent so far. Over $16 billion was spent by Obasanjo regime, yet we don’t have power. Also, the current government under Jonathan said we now have over 4,000 mega watts, yet our people don’t have the power” - Buhari http://invalid.invalid/talk/topic,62469.0.html AFTER THE ELECTION Obasanjo's administration suddenly became Far past , Amaechi construction of 1 concrete pillar at 100 million Naira became acceptable http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/187120-buhari-will-probe-jonathans-govt-only-not-obasanjos-otherspresidency.html The Level of deception and insincerity shown by Buhari and his APC brethren after the elections is so absurd. No matter how far lies travel the truth must surely catch up with it. |
