Tinubu's wife Remi said we should blame Nigerians for the high cost of things in Nigeria now. She said it's because Nigerians refused to farm and work in Nigeria but preferred to Japa abroad that that's the reason why prices of things are going up, that Nigerians should stop migrating abroad.



You can imagine the local monkey reasoning of the wife of the man ruling Nigeria, now tell me why won't things be upside down in Nigeria when the First Lady believes that the problem of Nigeria is Nigerians migrating abroad for greener pastures.



And funny enough she and her drug trafficking wire wire fraudster husband cum President once lived abroad, and their kids are still living abroad despite the fact that they have managed to steal Nigerian people's mandate and now forming first family that they never merited sad
They don't want you to leave suffering. They know once you leave the shores of this country, your eyes will be open to the reality.... That what we pass through as normal everyday life in Nigeria is serious suffering in other places

[color=deeppink]Doctors, what could cause this boil under my arms?[/color]
If ypu are a female, that might be the early stage of breast cancer. Go for test IMMEDIATELY.
I knew a neighbour who died of this because of wrong diagnosis and late detection.
If the initial test proves negative to breast cancer, wait about a week or so, if it proves not to be a boil. Go and get another test done to be sure it is not breast cancer.
But please continue to monitor it. Any time you discover that the areas around it are turning black and the skin there is folding, know conclusively that it's a cancer... And hope it is not too late for a surgery.
I wish you the best

TV/MoviesRe: Jagua: Do You Remember This Late Actor? by Apollux(m): 9:44pm On Apr 16, 2023
Icrave4u:
MY BELLE O, MY HEAD O!!! Do you still remember this Yoruba Actor called JAGUA?

Chief James Afolabi Afolayan MON, MFR popularly known as Jagua was born 4th July 1946 in Iludun-Oro kwara state Nigeria.

He managed on his own to finish secondary education but his journey into entertainment started when he was just 8years old in his paternal hometown Iludun-Oro where he formed the Iludun-Oro Jolly Mambo. It was a singing group.

The young Afolabi then go about adding spice to social gatherings by singing.. Yes he was a singer and a great dancer too.

He did this for some years until he met the doyen of Nigeria theatre, the iconic Hubert Ogunde.

James Afolabi learnt that Chief Ogunde and his group will be performing in Esie so he made plans to be there,saved up some money from selling bush meat so he could make it to the show.

On getting there he was intrigued by Chief Ogunde's musical rendition and decided he was going to move to Lagos to have chief train him in music.

James Afolabi whose family was mainly into buying and selling expressed his desire to go fully into music to his family and they never objected despite the fact that such professions was seen as mainly for the "never do well" in those days.

Few days after a family member brought young Afolabi to Lagos and they headed to Chief Ogunde's office and joined a very long queue of people wanting to join the group.

Eventually it was Afolabi Afolayan's turn to audition and though baba Ogunde thought he was very young, he also saw that he was very determined.He then handed daddy to his first wife saying " Gba omo e ni" ( take him, he is your child)

Afolabi said he never knew baba Ogungbe was also into acting. He said he admired his stage presence.

Afolabi said for him as a young person it was divine whenever baba graced the stage.

Afolabi Afolayan considers Baba Ogunde as a father and his first wife who took him in a mother.

He was with Chief Ogunde and family for 2years (1960-1962).

Afolabi Afolayan also trained under Akinsola Ogungbe before he teamed up with his friend Ishola Ogunsola aka Isho Pepper to form the Afolayan Ogunsola Theatre group in 1964.

Afolabi was the main singer and instrumentalist in the group while Ishola composed more of the stage performances.

The performances was rendered in Yoruba language.
Besides other productions, I remember they did "Iyawo alalubosa"together...back then, it was quite popular.

Besides music, 'Folabi( like his friends and family calls him)was known to be the fun guy at every gathering.

He just loves making people laugh and as time goes on he realizes he seem to be more interested in the comedy aspect of acting and went for it.

He met very young Elyzar Taylor a Sierraleonian who was still a student at the time.

It was Elyzar who gave him the stage name Jagua and advised him to act in pidgin English as that will cut across every tribe and make them more widely accessible.

Jagua also called Elyzar Grace on stage. That was how Jagua play Group was born.

They had their first major television show in 1968 with RKTV Kaduna.

Jagua and Grace got married in 1970. Grace was juggling marriage and the group while still in school.

With God by their side and love from friends and fans who we see as family, the Jagua brand became widely accepted.

Jagua comedy was in all the NTA stations, was in almost every Nigerian home.

It is devoid of vulgar languages...you don't have to send your children to bed because you want to watch Jagua...it is actually a family programme and many children look up to it.

Jagua comedy entertained and educated most of us via TV screens and live stage performances.

They were also involved in charity causes.

They entertained the less privileged for free, raised money to champion charitable causes, entertained our troops abroad (ECOMOG).

In the very early years of Nollywood, Jagua and his group made some home videos which was released in VHS cassettes but most of his works are with the NTA.

Jagua was recognised by the Nigerian government for his works hence his national honours.

As a father, he was a great father and friend.

The laughter never stops on stage.
He was the best. He died Oct 5th 2000.

23years on, we still hear his signature tune "my belle ooo my head o"
Are you sure of the date of his death?
I recalled seeing his Obituary at that time as December 31st 1999. I could be wrong though, it was a long time ago.
Besides I saw Jagua once in Orile. That was in the 90s,years after his his shows stopped airing in Nta. He was just walking along the road, most people didn't recognize him but I did. Called his name, he looked at me with a smile and walked on. Seems he didn't want people to know it was him. I was telling the boy with me then "That's Jagua", pointing at him as he was walking away.
That was in the 90s and I was still a kid then. I was shocked to see his obituary few years later.

Who and what Ruel is, is an integral part of the Ghemmaria mythos. So it gets to be revealed in the main storyline.
Well like you know by now, Mibazar is not just an ordinary hight priest. His plan (or part of it will be revealed in every related Ghemmaria stories-notably A TALE OF THORN & THISTLE and The HARKUNIAN CANDIDATE)
Well for the last question, the baron isn't dead. He escaped back to his barony.

Apollux can you recommend sci-fi movies that leans closely to changing of body parts in a detailed process?

Like Korean Rugal
I don't know much about that. But have you seen Altered Carbon? It's more of transfer of consciousness into different bodies. Read the book first before watching the episodes (just about 10 episodes I think).
Personally I like the settings... Very similar to Marvel Chronicles... Yet dissimilar in a lot of ways

I'm still EvaJael and I've missed literature section sooo much. I've been away because of acacdemics but I'm back, at least for a while. I came back to meet everywhere so quiet unlike how lively I always knew it to be. I know Divepen1 is doing his best and I still appreciate him but we can also put in our two cents.

Hi, I'm relatively new here so you may not know me. I think I started uploading my stories here around 2016. But since then I have changed locations (states) like three times. Between last year and this year, things have been wild and crazy, so they are the reasons I haven't updated for a while. But I still have like 3 to 4 stories I owe my followers and fans here and it is a wish I aim to fulfill.
Here are links to my stories if you need to read them.

https://www.nairaland.com/3746976/memoirs-blood-steel-fantasy-novel

https://www.nairaland.com/4947614/penance

Besides I feel stories here are not monetized, so most gifted writers just get more interested in other things that yield income than taking the time, effort and resources to post stories here. Most of the stories you will find new here are people that are making first attempts at writing. As for me, writing is fun.

Lostz:
The sculpture, from the 6th century southwestern Yoruba city of Ife,


the date is talking about the city not the sculpture
Thanks for clearing that up. And that is 6 century AD and not BC. And that is about right for the period Oduduwa fled the middle east to survive the persecution from the spread of Islam. There is a possibility that this was among the things he took with him when he fled middle east. Or could be something he taught the yoruba people to make when he settled in Ile Ife. The timing is right for such speculations . Besides to our missinformed man, that is just around 1400 years ago.

The truth is your wife doesn't love you no more or never loved you!! Moreover why did you forced her into marriage with you? That's where the problem started.Nw the best way is to go your separate ways since the marriage is even early nd she's already gotten fed up with you,nw that you have no kids you still can still divorce nd let her continue her single life since that's what she always wanted!! If you dnt divorce she will keep on blaming you for forcing her into marriage when she wasn't ready.Its better divorcing that getting stalked in marriage that love isnt mutual!!
Lol for a wedding the young man blew 3m on and to see that the marriage is not more than three months old is disheartening.
Well it is obvious they both never have the right concept of what marriage is. They never prepared for it. Like u pointed out, the lady never really loved him. She might have been benefiting from the dating, hence why she kept on till marriage probably out of fear that she will loose what she was gaining.
Whew besides looking at her message, the lady has issues... Unfortunately for the guy that he ended up with her.

The Director had to swallow a grouse threatening to show up. He had to be patient and let the doctor vent his pent up frustrations. Not that he cared for him anyway. Just that for now, the doctor is still very valuable to the success of this particular venture. From his personal forecast of the future, if he must get he goals achieved, then Dr. Francis will have to complete this project. After that, well he can be quietly disposed of.


“Subject 5 was the perfect specimen to start that with. He was ex military, has a good family and all. “ Dr. Francis’ voice dropped a bit as if this part was difficult to get over. “He had some level of commitment to an ideal, if not outright patriotism, then a deep sense of love for his family. My attempts were to go slow with him in introducing the implants at a more slower rate than all previous subjects andl as well do something different for the next two subjects after him. In his case, I wouldn’t authorize a full memory or personality wipe but slight mental modifications and hypnosis suggestions to the brain to make it accept the new bio-reconditioning. Well Gina was brought in. She suggested that the hypnosis should be deep and for it to work, a traumatic episode should be introduced to his mind. Her reasons been that his mental state is too steady to succumb to simple hypnotic suggestions, dark episodes have to be introduced to his memories to break down his defenses. Which I partially objected to, insisting I need his mind fully functional for my new method to work. Well I achieved some level of success which you were aware of and actually commended. “


“I know all these doctor. But what is the point of the whole narrative? “ he was getting impatient in spite of himself. There are too many things needing the Director's personal attention for the doctor to be taking too much of his time. “Just tell me what has gone wrong. “
“Gina just screwed up all of that progress. She wiped the subject’s memories, implanted tragic after tragic ones in their places which the mind kind of resisted. She had to get a biochip memory implant to help break down his mental defenses. While that succeeded, the enhanced bio implants has started to fail. His accelerated tissue repair are turning cancerous and killing the subject now. “
