Xscape1993:
Nigeria is not a serious country and does know her importance in the world.

Christlike01:
Of course,I know that. You should have simply put it this way : Nigerian Army Pulled Out 29 Army Generals. Using "Pulls out" and "Retired Generals" in the same sentence is misleading. You may want to check out your caption again :Nigerian Army Pulls Out 29 Retired Generals!

Christlike01:
Op,your caption doesn't make grammatical sense; it's quite confusing! You could have written it simply thus: Nigeria Army Retires 29 Generals.

We thank all the retired Generals for serving Nigeria dutifully and wish them success in all their future endeavors.

You're a liar. Buhari joined the army in 1962 and retired in 1985. That's a total of 23 years

Exactly, our African history is filled by the deeds of our great ancestors and its too sad that not enough work is put into researching and studying their lives..

Thanks for your Remark
Oba Ewuare was indeed a great warrior and brilliant administrator

rotadeco27:
How else would he have gone about it? Did u read the article? The previous administration did not make provisions for subsidy in the budget. He would use his money to pay it or what?

meum:
Removing subsidy is one thing, how to go about it is what makes the difference.

Your lazy brain and your pride. Bad combo.
You seem to think your "knowledge" is worth mine, while you should have been learning from me and you should have left your toxic pride far far away.
You are at the level of confusing fairytales with actual history. I was trying to bring you up to the level of knowing the difference between fairytale and history. But somehow you thought both of us lived in parallel universes and therefore in your universe, you could be right ?

RealTrump:
People in d diaspora should give u guys money, d same money that you can decide to divert, to defend naira

I wonder who dey give these people mind

You have to appreciate their audacity tho

Ghostagain:
Areafada, your brain is lazy. I've tried to give you respect in the past, but I can only notice your inability to learn.
Once again, oduduwa never existed, it is just a made up story, a fairytale.
Why didn't you learn after all I posted in front of your eyes ?
You are not a kid! just stop living in fairytales!
You've seen precolonial maps and texts, you ignored those and chose to dwell on stories?
Those stories were made to take Benin's prestige away from Benin and give them to the oni of Ife, but your brain doesn't comprehend this ! The oni is nothing but a village priest, and thanks to intellectually lazy people like you, he is parading himself as an emperor in 2024, a year in which education is cheap.
You just can't rise your iq up a little bit, can you ?

Remember this sentence:
"A fool and his money are soon parted".
You foolishly let the yoruba steal your heritage while believing you are the smart one. You make me think of this Andrew in the story below:

Kevin had no money and Andrew was rich, so Kevin went to Andrew and said "Andrew all your money belongs to me, give it to me", Andrew replied "no you are a liar, only half of my money belongs to you, I will give you only half". Andrew thought he was being smart and he was happy that he was able to keep half of his original wealth, while Kevin had actually gained half of Andrew's wealth without doing any work for it.

Having a lazy brain is the worse curse of all. I can't articulate how disappointed I am in you, what a disgrace, after I spent years spreading education on nairaland... What a pity.

Ykc2:
What is meaning of osemawe in yoruba?

DatNaijaGuy:
I wish same thing will be done in Benin City, Edo State. Every demonic trade union should be dismantled. That's where they come into agreement to exploit the people.
You can't sell common pepper and crayfish without being in their evil union.

Thanks for the feedback @Areafada2

What's the name of the Eastern Yoruba town you're referring to here? Sure, as an adult who is NOT averse to detailed investigations, I can take my research away from there.

Perhaps you can shrink the picture before attaching it here or give me the link to see the picture.

All the best.

At this Junction, Yahaya Bello can't Escape this.

How a Governor turned fugitive.
EFCC chairman threatens to resign and lawyers are protesting to have him appear in court.

Sorry Yahaya, watch your trusted allies disappointing you.

@AreaFada2, how's it going?

What's the name of the book on the Ogiamien lineage that you stated here? I would like to read it and gain more insights.

Second, I agree that a near-absolute and consistent version of the Ile Ife/Benin linkages are needed to avoid regurgitations of amateurish-sounding stories.

It's interesting you say you have a stake in the Oduduwa link through a different Yoruba dynasty... Are you saying here you are a Bini-Edo with a Yoruba dynasty linkage or what.

Also, I saw where you said there are towns that were founded by Edos in eastern Yorubaland but I can't think of any tbh, but you can LIST them here. I do know that the already existing towns of Akure, Ikere-Ekiti, Ado-Ekiti, Owo, Ido Ani, had some Bini immigrant influences centuries back and some kingship tussles exist in a place like Ikere-Ekiti where you have 2 kings with one being of Ikere-Ekiti aborigene descent and the other Oba who came much later from Benin.

I also read a historical account in a news article from the Oba of Ido Ani in Ondo State who is a retired Army General that Oranmiyan's cousin who followed him from Ife to Benin centuries ago, left Benin afterwards and settled in Ido Ani (the maternal hometown of the iconic former UPN Governor of the defunct Bendel State, Professor Ambrose Folorunso Alli's mother) which already existed.

I've been an absolute lover of genealogical, ancestral DNA testings, and world history for decades now, so, I'd like you to expand a little more on what you mean in especially your last paragraph.

Peter Obi is a member of this useless political class we have ruling us.

Sowore was on the ballot box, much younger than Peter Obi and not a member of the incompetent political class, why didnt he get voted in if people wanted young?

Peter Obi parachuted himself into a left leaning political party from a right leaning one and immediately picked up their Presidential nomination, where is the principle there?

I personally want a clear out of anyone that has held an elective position in the past 20 years. Let new blood come in. Going by voting patterns outside of SE in the last Presidential elections, it is clear people are not voting by tribal affiliations again.

aswani:
When Biafra invaded Benin City, the soldiers mistreated the natives. Even Ndigbo that have lived in Benin before the war suddenly started growing wings.

Their readiness to report the locals to Biafran patrols, for example a landlord asking for rent mobey, resulted in summary execution.

Google Nowa Omoigui, may ẹ pa continue to rest in peace, to see more examples of how Benin City suffered under illegal Biafran of occupation.

You and Ojukwu can save your silly greeting.

Obv'Edo carried Obidient for head for your fellow tribesman to be President and look at the nonsense you are spewing here.

Like I told some of them then, some Ndigbo would make you seriously regret all this gra gra you are doing for Peter Obi. Here is another example.

Illiterate, those seven local government covers over 55% of the landmass of Edo state called Edo south. It is about 10,700km square and the landmass of Bini speaking communities out of it is about 8653kmsquare. The remaining 2,100km square comprise of Igbanke which is about 170kmsquare. Then Ijaw villages,Ajoki etc.

Now tell me how many states are more than 8653 km square. From my knowledge,

1. Bini’s territory in Edo state is bigger than all the individual state in the south east
2. It is larger than Ekiti state by landmass. Ekiti state is about 6000 km square.
3. It is also about the same size with Osun that is about 9,000km square
4. It is also larger than Akwa Ibom by landmass. Akwa Ibom is not up to 8,000 km square.
So it is in no way tiny

Honestey:
The reason is simple, women don't love men naturally. A man would see a lady and be like, wow! she is beautiful, I like her movement, see her back front etc (Things that are natural about her) but a woman would be like wow! He is working at NNPC, he has car, he get plenty money etc (Things that are worldly about him). And because they are never going to be responsible for a child that is not theirs, whether ba$tard or not a child is legitimate to his/her mother. In fact many of them cry about getting married when they became tired of abortion, through marriage at least they get someone to hang it on his poor neck, such animalistic behaviour and until the law is established to make it a crime to get pregnant for another man after marriage, this prolification of ba$tards will continue in our society.
