CultureRe: Words From The Epie Language Of Yenagoa. by AreaFada2:
Amadioha01:
KUDOS!!
Very insightful.
I wonder why Edo nationalist extremists (not the moderates) don't go into Yenegoa, Ahoda west(Akinima) and Degema to lay claim of omo blah blah blah Edo. But rather they can't stop laying claim to Anioma and Onitsha.
I wonder who the extremists you refer to are. Benin people are going to those places you mentioned and meeting these descendants. From Warri (Olu of Warri palace) to Ga people of Accra in Ghana. The clips are on you-tube.

Nobody lay claims to No-one. People believed to descend from Benin have a right to be told. Those people also have the right to refuse to come into the fold.

What I do not get is someone from Imo or Ebonyi telling us that Onitsha or Anioma people cannot be told what our common history says.

For example when Benin people visited Degema, many people there felt they were abandoned all these years as Benin people didn't seek them out. They began to come out with stories their late parents and grandparents told them about their Benin origin.

Many across West Africa were told by now late family members of their Benin origin but just didn't know where or how to start searching. Some just do not have the drive or means, amidst daily struggle for survival. Including Ga people of Ghana I have met in Diaspora.

As much as Igbo people claim descending from Gad, what percentage of Igbo have gone to Israel to seek their Gad tribe origin? When Igbo go it's as Christian pilgrims by and large. Whereas I have seen Israelis visit Igbo land including Obu Gad in Aguleri.

One has to be open-minded and learn about and from others.

Christianity EtcRe: Jehovah Witness Predicted Coronavirus 15 Years Ago by AreaFada2: 11:23am On Mar 01, 2020
ursullalinda:
Since when did witnesses start releasing prophesies........hmmmm........it's strange or are they also looking for members.......pls what we should be after are those who will prophesy about the cure.......as in name the exact drug for the cure......they are the real prophets
It's not prophesy. It relied on a sound academic research journal paper "Vaccine". Reading Awake growing up partly sparked my interest in nature and science.

Their topics on science, astronomy, health, and others are top notch.

Anyone familiar with influenza will know it has no medication as such. In fact viruses generally can be hard to treat.

What made the JW paper intriguing is making clear that another flu outbreak could cut across age groups. The Spanish Flu of 1918 killed about 50 million people worldwide. Because of poor record keeping back then, some believe it might up to 100 million people killed. When world population was only about 1.6 billion people, about the population of just China today.

The Spanish flu of 1918 mostly killed people with a very good immune system like people aged about 15 to 60 years old. Basically wiping out much of the most productive population.

Covid-19 currently kills older people and those with underlying medical conditions more.

Imagine a scenario where it kills anyone of any age.

I am not a Jehovah's witness.
PoliticsRe: Tanko Yakasai To Nigerians: Blame Southwest, North For Your Sufferings by AreaFada2: 10:53am On Mar 01, 2020
Truth is bitter and unpopular.

As much as SW want to play "sophisticated" politics, they have unwittingly rubbished Buhari by beginning Amotekun.

They are saying "Maj. Gen security has got far worse under your watch. We have no confidence in your ability to secure this country".

It's the most damning indictment of someone they once praised to high heavens. The Messiah to save Nigeria.

Buhari and cabal are not unaware of the gravity of this indictment. But they too are keeping their cards very close to their chest.

It's the eyeing of 2023 presidency that's still making SW pretend that all is well. grin cheesy

SportsRe: Joseph Yobo Pictured With Finidi George - Check His Current Look by AreaFada2: 10:26pm On Feb 29, 2020
Reference:
They just don't make them like the Finidi Georges' or my favourite all time player, Henry Nwosu, the pocket dynamite. I will never forget his deflected header in Maroc 88....
Nwosu was very good. A precocious talent.

At NNB with Edobor, Agbonavbare, Keshi & Igbinabaro.

Their WAFU cup successes were massive. Crowning it with First Devision Championship in 1985.

NNB v. Insurance was like Chelsea v Tottenham of today.

Enugu Rangers v Inurance or NNB was like Man United v. Chelsea of today.

Shooting Stars v. Rangers was like Liverpool v Man City. grin grin
HealthRe: George Akume Applauds Ned Nwoko On Malaria Eradication Project by AreaFada2:
amaniro:
Minister of Special Duties and intergovernmental affairs. What type of ministry is that? Never heard of and what's the use of its since we already have "Ministry of Interior". Be creating useless ministries instead of focusing on these 5 Ministries

Agriculture

Power

Economy, infrastructures, finance.

Security

Labour and Employment. Core problems of the country.
You missed Two major ones:

Health

Education, Science & Technology. Some countries call it Future Ministry colloquially. Because that's the future.

UN recommends that these two ministries should get the highest allocation in developing countries.

We need only about 10 ministries. And very few departments. With sections or departments run by seasoned civil servants/technocrats as directors, not more politicians.

The constitution requiring frivolous allocation of at least a minister to each state is stale
Christianity EtcRe: Was Coronavirus Included In 2020 Prophecies? by AreaFada2:
WATCHOVER:
Firstly it will be foolish to think of that.
A virus that has taken lives from all over the continent and has no cure you say its not worst?.

Please don't be myopic
Look, had it started in a true democratic country, it would have spread less. China tried to hush it. Even using secret service to intimidate the first doctor who openly reported flu-like stuff in 7 patients. He was forced to retract it. He got infected treating a glaucoma patient that also had n-Covid-19 but nobody knew then. The doctor has since died. Nobody knows if his parents that got infected probably through him are still alive.

It took about three weeks from when the doctor first got worried before China finally admitted there was a new infection spreading. By then people from Wuhan had traveled across the world already.

In terms of deaths per thousand of people infected, Ebola is far far worse. Though I admit that Ebola affected countries with poor health care resources.
PoliticsRe: We Must Address Restructuring Now – Obasanjo by AreaFada2:
I respect OBJ immensely for his ability to choose talented and capable people to work with. Despite much pressure to select political acolytes.

He managed to sneak in a few good ones: NOI, Akunyili, Lesley Obiora, Ribadu and others.

But he failed to restructure the country after 8 years. He wanted to be in the good books of the North. To remain politically relevant after leaving office.

A more selfless person would have put the country first and restructure.

Other Southern politicians now in corridors of power want to remain relevant too. Or even have a shot at the presidency. So Tinubu, Fayemi, Oshiomhole, Okorocha or any other Southerner would equally be selfish like OBJ was. Then lament that we should restructure after leaving office.
HealthRe: Italian Coronavirus Index Patient In Lagos Attempts To Escape From Quarantine by AreaFada2: 7:56am On Feb 29, 2020
SciLab:
The other contacts on hearing this news will run away.

The problem is when they are traced and found, they will be kept in the same room with this man even if though many of them may not have the virus.

That means they'll definitely get infected while quarantined. And if they run away as potential cases, they may keep spreading the disease. Remember this guy reported himself to the health authorities, many other's won't.

Borders will be closed soon in the usual firebrigade nigerian approach only when many people have gotten the infection and it has spiralled out of control.

That virus is already spreading in Lagos, it is most probably in Abuja. Let's stop deceiving ourselves with wishful thinking and be realistic.
Oh boy forget matter. Corona virus go don kill people for 9ja tire since. Which 9ja person will report himself to come carry stigma? grin

Are you telling me nobody has snuck in from Wuhan, Malaysia and elsewhere where they went to by containers of goods since?
They might even be in crowded mega churches for miracles as we speak. Without disclosing that they most likely have Corona virus.

I almost agree with the nurse in a funny way. She was just saying we are not ready for anything. Anyone infected with anything is on his own. So is anyone unfortunate enough to look after them as medics.
Now tell me how that nurse will help educate patients and visitors about hygiene.

It should not surprise you. In 9ja it's all about own pocket and position of power. Meanwhile the kids of the elite will go and chill in Canada and other sane places.

They will soon say they were hired by PDP, FKK, GEJ, Atiku, Wike or Nnamdi Kanu. They think people are jobless in Canada like many jobless youth in 9ja.

he made sure his conquered territories and that of his disciples maintain their culture and language, human sacrifice was largely stopped and slave trade reduced to criminals, his education also opened up a better chapter for northerners in the trans Sahara trade as more northerners could read Arabic and negotiate better
Abeg stop sugar coating it. He was the Boko Haram founder of that age.
Had Shekau or Yusuf overran Northern Nigeria since 2003 they would be called Sheikh and pious leader by now.

kunletexs:
You assessment is false on tinubu holding SW in captive. OYO STATE showed their annoyance by voting PDP, lagos voted PDP but we all know that it was rigged. In fact he himself cannot say, he would win presidential seat from SW as we are tired of his party. The prayer is let our votes count.
Good that you know votes do not count in many places. Except when those in power want to rig using child voters and so on.
Those relevant elite in SW are ready to use their various thugs to rig.

If Igbo and minority groups were allowed to vote freely without their voters cards being dumped in Ikorodu bushes and elsewhere, Buhari might not have won Lagos.
Oyo election is different from what Tinubu will convince SW he is the only one from region capable of winning. It will become a tribal quest.

You know how susceptible SW people are to tribal stuff centrally, just like the North are susceptible to religious stuff.

SW didn't support Obasanjo in 1999 because they had another horse in the race: Olu False. They quickly queued behind OBJ against Buhari in 2003.
