U better wake up from the dream bro

What brand of weed did you smoke bro? Must be some strong shit,for you to be dis delusional dis morning. Damn

DeCleff:
Children of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu are not ordinary human being they all came down from heaven.

All the prophecies that foretold the birth of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu made it clear that He didn't come alone. Especially the prophecies by Prophet Enun Nkpa.

U might wish to know that all the nine children were born without sexual intercourse.

The elder sister is likened to the dragon in Rev. 12:1-5 whose sole aim was destroy the male child. She was born first before His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu and if read further in Rev. 12 u will see that the male children was separated from His mother and siblings but caught up to God.

The Father sent Him out to stay with someone till He was old enough to take up responsibility.

So, Helen Obu is not what u think she is. Don't forget that satan is still the son of God but was cast down because he was desperate for power

And the chibok girls are yet to be found

madridguy:
Instead of GEJ to attend to the Chibok girls issue, he went for PDP rally where he was photographed dancing with some women with big ukwu.

He still waited for Malala advise before he invited the Chibok girls parent for meeting. Then turned his blame to US for not selling arms while Dasuki office was used to steal over 2.1 Billion dollars.

Today is exactly a year we the good people of this nation voted out the clueless and wicked man.

Thank God for PMB, Thank God for APC.

@op hope you've heard this statement before "Once a cheat,always a cheat". Listen to your sister's advice,because it would prove very valuable sooner or later. Speaking from recent experience.

For the very first time,I'm forced to agree with Fayose on this topic. The same APC that is claiming PDP destroyed the country,is currently harboring the villains of past PDP government which is the height of hypocrisy. Smh for naija

Buhari is a sore loser

At least you have a backup plan,just in case case your Swiss lover mess up you have the yahoo lover to fall back to. From the way I see it, it's a win-win situation.

Epic question

Happy new year folks

[quote author=fitzmayowa post=41407015]One question comes to mind, the weapons our soldiers are using to fight the terrorist was gotten from which administration? Or has PMB led government bought a single bullet

Why is this government always do the blame game was it right for the soldiers to commit mutiny? why does PMB like playing to the gallery by throwing blames

Abeg help me ask them, since pmb took over we've not heard on a any medium that his administration bought any arms. So with which arms are they winning the war? This is just a case of calling the dog a bad name so he can be crucified.

Dats my man @Neville Sajere partying hard with @Akon and @Jim Iyke

I wish myself and all nairalanders a merry Xmas and prosperous new year ahead.

Goodboiyy:
As part of my agenda in exposing the culture of my people(Ilaje , Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ijo e.tc) to the world, today we will be discussing about The Umale festival of the Itsekiri and Ilaje people. Its no longer news that the Ilaje share so many things with The Itsekiri nation, Be it language, Culture, Monarchy e.tc as such I do classify The Ilaje as an Itsekiri Offspring (Disputable) .. Here we go..

Umale Okere - Itsekiri

People living in the ancient town of Warri often looked with nostalgia to the season of Awankere, also called Umale Okere, an annual masquerade festival with epicentre of the celebration at Okere main square. It’s a mix of culture, tradition, dancing and humour. Umale Okere is virtually the most popular Itsekiri festival in Warri with so much social fun and excitement, attracting indigenes and non-indigenes alike beyond ethnic divide. Visitors and residents of Warri, including eminent personalities from all walks of life converge at Okere to watch the festival.

People – young and old, including children, line up on both sides of the expansive Okere Road from Esisi junction to the centre point, a massive crowd, jostling curiously to catch a glimpse of the masquerades, men and women dancing to the traditional drum beats with amidst sexy, obscene remarks by women and tantalizing songs, emotional and romantic.

The elegance and beauty of the festival, graced by the masquerades in attires almost akin to the costume and apparels worn by Eyo masquerades in Lagos during Adamorisha festival are amazing.

The origin of Umale Okere festival dates back to pre- independence years in the era of British colonialism. It emanated from Ekpen family, owners of Okere that married a woman called Diden who hailed from the neighbouring Ekurede, the place where the palace of the Olu of Warri is located. An Ekurede woman married to Ekpen family of Okere. The masquerades are customary acknowledgement of the marital ties between the two.

The leader of the masquerades is called Öshogwa Umale”with several bodyguards while the others filed out in a single line for seven market days of Okere till the last day. At the rear of the masquerades is “Okwooye”, wearing a big hat and holding a whip, dressed in baggy attire touching the ground due to oversize.

The mother of them all, referred to as Queen, is called “Eleghe”, very gentle, majestic and moves in measured steps, walking on red carpet. It is rarely seen in public – once in 50 years. Many people see Eleghe only once in their life time. Its public appearance is now reduced to 25 years.

According to Erikowa who lived in Ekurede, since 1956, Eleghe came out twice. For the masquerades, after their appearance on the seventh market day, they go back to the shrine known as “Ekun”, opening their faces on the way.

Women come out to seek their blessings and favour for children, to strike out failures and curses from their lives, to seek success in life. On the last day also, everyone comes to appeal to the Umales as they return to the shrine to cast away their misfortunes and problems, bring prosperity, give them long life, take away sickness, troubles and not to have afflictions in life again.

bros, abeg, Dey your lane o...I be Edo/itsekiri

I dey my lane, but you know say your people are from Igbesen Edo State?

debinile:
Go and sleep Jor, Go ask your forefather, go ask the Portugese and the rest of the world who own Warri. No urhobo or Ijaw man is from Warri, they were all brought in as a slave, we was when slavery was abolished thry started getting married the Itsekiris. No pure Urhobo or ijaw persons are from Warri. The early u located your root the better for and ur families. Mind you the Itsekiri Populations is over 1, 000, 000 and the Population of the urhobo does not double that amount. And also late 200years ago the Population of the Itsekiris re faf more than the Urhobos, is birth control and civilization that has reduce the Itsekiri Population. As at now Itsekir couples don't give birth to more 3-4 Children, but the urhobo re still ptoducing like 10-15 fifteen children. We can no see where the problems lies.

The Itsekiris are not up to 1Mil in population, this rubbish was started by Awolowo who staffed the father of the late Olu and changed the title from Olu of Itsekiri to Olu of Warri. It's common knowledge that the name Warri stems from the Ijaw word Wari "which means house in Ijaw language". The Itsekiri's are originally from Igbesen in Edo state, so i don't understand how you can lay claim to Warri just because you were allowed to come and settle there.

martineverest:
itsekiri owns Warri,urhobo and ijaw should chill

You this Itsekiri boy, you dey always like to cause trouble. How Itsekiri take own Warri? Nor go repeat this word for NPA area, if not you go collect.

gateleo:
We don't need PDP's advice on governance because all they established in 16 years was impunity, thuggery, rigging,terrorism and LOOTING of our common wealth.When they ever get back to power,

let them establish whatever they want but as far as this Buhari govt is concerned,last administration must be probed.GEJ should have probed Yar'adua while Yar'adua probed OBJ and OBJ should've probed Abdusalami simple.

Now after running paddy paddy govt for 16yrs and "sharing the money", you want Buhari to start digging into Lord Lugards govt?,No Way

Was Yar'adua and OBJ not PDP presidents? So if the PDP says, the current government should probe their security vote i think it's laudable.

midolian:
Tell your tompolo to stop running, let us see if he is really as powerful as you say.

And maybe u need to be reminded that this is not a clueless administration

If efcc get mind, make them find am go the dreaded CAMP5. Wetin their eye go see, their mouth nor go fit explain.

martineverest:
1 -5 are all true.... Warri is owned by itsekiri; itsekiri is a mixture of Yoruba and bini culture(more of bini culture, which is the major difference btw get an ilaje); itsekiri, urhobo and ijaw are worst of enemies(just like Benin and ishans in Edo state;ebira and igalla;tiv and idoma); Warri and Benin are contesting for king of ruggedness and Warri is begging for development

Who be dis Na? Guy Na where u hear say Na Itsekeri get warri? Abeg no start another warri crisis o. I rep Okumagba Avenue. Original

am on the soil and base in yenagoa too. Let's wait for the rerun.

No problem, let's see how everything play out.

darelar:
If you know what can happen from southern ijaw results, you won't say no matter the machinery that pdp has win. There voting strength is about 120k and pdp is leading with just 33,154. Even Dickson himself is afraid, that's why he has been lamenting on radio on radio and saying different kinds of stores. The truth is that both of them did the rigging and Dickson rig the most but Southern Ijaw lga is the game changer and Silva is faster than Dickson in that LGA. That's why he's crying fowl.

Are you from #Bayelsa? I'm a son of the soil, from Southern Ijaw LGA, so take it from me when i tell you Dickson and PDP has won this election. @inecnigeria just played into the hands of PDP by cancelling the result for Southern Ijaw LGA and a rerun will prove the final nail on the coffin for the APC. Take it or leave it

PDP is taking this one, no matter the machinery and rigging of the APC.

INEC ELECTION RESULTS IN SEVEN (7) LGA
PDP = 105,748
APC= 72,594
PDP is Leading with 33,154 vote

...Voting in Ijaw South Local Government Area
was scheduled to commence at 6PM....

Voting by 6pm, in such violence prone area... INEC sef.... Their own wahala too much...

My brother I wonder, how can voting commence by 6pm in a rescheduled election? INEC has ulterior motives, if not they should know by now that southern ijaw is a volatile region due to the large concentration of militants and ex militants.

See, what it takes to compose REAL Music. That's just the tenor manuscript.

Unlike our nowadays singer, they will just enter booth
1. Shout the Producer's name
2. Say they are back again.. (Only God knows who send them message).
3. Say their name like 2-3 times
4. Sing lyrics as wack as anything
5. Mention the mIxer's name.

Lobatan!!!
