theTranscriber:Don’t mind that one jare. See below. Can there be oil spillage in an area without oil? All the areas are in Ilaje LGA in Yorubaland. Oil spillage destroys farmlands in Ondo communities https://punchng.com/oil-spillage-destroys-farmlands-in-ondo-communities/ The residents of the Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State have called on the state government to assist them following the destruction of their farmland by oil spillage. The communities affected include Awoye, Muse, Gbakura, Akintola, Jero, Odopado, Oroto, Aiyetoro, Okeunla, Okupi and Ogundeje Communities. It was gathered that the spillage was caused by exploration activities of an oil company. |
kevapet:You are right, no doubt, but you know Osun’s good roads/infrastructure came at a huge cost/sacrifice - high state debt - during the tenure of Rauf Aregbesola. The man really tried, kudos to him. Gbenga Daniel was Ogun governor for 8 years (2003-2011) and virtually nothing was done to improve the roads despite good federal allocation from high oil price. |
theenchanter:God bless you. Well said. |
Tonim:Wow This beautiful water in Ibadan; it is breathtaking. I hope the Governor can come through with the planned adventure park. Thank you Tonim. Wonderful picture! |
Tonim:And it is very much doable. Just need the land. |
jrjfjfj:I understand if you say they don’t like us, but to say they are allies. I disagree. Just my opinion. |
Abeokuta needs a large central park with beautiful trees, green lawn, lake/pond etc. Similar to Agodi Gardens in Ibadan. It can be built in two or three phases to spread out costs. The govt can partner with the private sector. People would drive from Lagos for the fresh air and beauty of nature. It would also boost tourism ( and IGR) for Ogun State.

kevapet:The Lebanese still have a large presence in Ibadan and yes, Florence Ajimobi’s dad is Lebanese. There are at least 5-6 chinese restaurants in Ibadan alone and I think Lebanese might even be more. |
kevapet:Well said. Great job for the wonderful pictures tonim. It is of great delight to see the beautiful pictures of Ibadan and the rest of the SW. |
Nice one Gov Abiodun. |
Sunday Igboho should be careful o. See what’s happening to the other guy. |
iberrylee:Anyone who can get these pictures, please post them on this thread for us. Thanks and God bless. |
Adeleke University is owned by Davido’s father. Very nice structures. Afe Babalola University has a very good law school. Beautiful campus. Even though private Universities are expensive, enrollment is pretty high Especially in the renowned ones. There is money in Nigeria abeg. |
Very nice estate. Ibadan is popping ![]() |
Resemblance246:Lovely estates ! The last picture with orange bungalows, do you know if this was built by Ogun state govt or by private company? |
walefresh3:I love Ibadan with passion as well. Great city! |
Looks nice. Great Job Gov Sanwo-Olu. |
OneTemplate:Great idea! Lagos should have a joint venture with other SW states and the private sector. Besides food sufficiency, there is plenty of money to be made. It will be a win win! |
Wow, see how beautiful Bodija, Ibadan is. It is absolutely breathtaking |
Tonim:Very nice. |
walefresh3:Very very true! Ibadan especially has very nice areas as well. |

[quote author=Mr. Globe]my brother don't mind the illiterate and cursed yorrober nation. Its good how their thief heroes get frustrated and messed up by their Hausa masters just like 20 year old Gowon did that tribalist 80 year old monkey awolowo making him catch the latest rat poison in the market at the time, the way the thief 'I must be president' abiola kept moving from one prison to the other till he gave up. The way Tinubu is awaiting his jail time. the yorrobber tribe will never be taken seriously any where in the world and will continue to be a stepping stool for igbos and hausas, atleast until they stop worshiping illiterates, thieves, crooks, armed robbers and extol the only hero in the entire yorobbercave soyinka.[/quote]Mr Globe, are you by any chance an Osu ? The Osu Caste System in Igboland: Discrimination Based on Descent[size=11pt][/size] http://uk.geocities.com/internationaldalitsolidarity/cerd/dikeosu2002.html The Osu, by definition, is a people sacrificed to the gods in Igbo community. And they assist the high priest of the traditional religion to serve the deities or the gods in their shrine. It is the belief of many Igbo traditionalists that the deities, which were (and are still) perceived in some quarters as being very powerful, would wreck havoc in the society, if they are not appeased. In some special circumstances, those who hold the traditional beliefs of the Igbos could transform a Diala who committed certain atrocities against the land, into an Osu. This process involved intricate rituals (offering of libations and sacrificing animals to the earth goddess). Some of the ancestors of the present-day Osu people inherited their dehumanizing social status this way. Because of many oral interpretations of the construct, the Osu has various definitions. It has been defined as a ‘cult slave,’ a living sacrifice,’ an ‘untouchable,’ ‘outcast,’ ‘owner’s cult,’ ‘a slave of the deity,’ and a ‘sacred and holy being.’ 3 These names mean the same: it is an abomination in the Igbo society for the Diala to marry Osu. All human beings are created equal, but human experiences are heterogeneous. Some people have had it rough all their life on earth, while others do not have a lot to complain about. Naturally, life has the same meaning for everyone, but the Osu caste system in Igboland seems to have changed the meaning of life for a group of people branded Osu Osu are people our igbo ancestors used to do sacrifies to the gods for the difficulties they faced then, which includes disease, lack of rain, poor farm produce, children and babies dieing etc.[/color] The gods then asked for human sacrifies to help with these issues. When a sacrifice is offered to gods it is damned evil to touch those things. Even in the bible when Abraham offer sacrifice to God, nobody eats the sacrify, it is burn to ashes. The stigma that Osu have had today this that they were used for gods sacrifice and dimmed to the igbos as outcast. To my understanding, most of then are very wealthy and brilliant people, their girls are very beautiful. I myself will NEVER marry osu, not because I don't like them. It is because of the stigma the igbos has on them. For example, they do not involve in active igbo events. No one will elect an osu person as a governor, local chairmen, Eze, Chief, etc.[color=#990000] If an Osu people tries to speak on behalf of the igbo he/she is immediately discredited, because of this stigma. I still have great ambitions for myself and would not want something to hold me back. If you are not igbo you can never understand. This thing will NEVER go away and I feel very sorry for them. We call it Ome na ala (The law of our land) We cannot leave ome na ala and start to do ome na elu (Not the law of the land) When you go to village and see how these people live, you would feel sorry from them. They do not trade because nobody would buy from them. In school nobody plays with osu children etc, it is really terrible. If you want to leave in diaspora all your life, them marrying osu will not really affect you. But if you plan sometime in the future to return back to Nigeria, hmmm, you really have to be very careful. Remember we do not only mary for ourselfs we marry for children as well, you do not want to give our children a bad start in life. I am sorry I have to say this, but this is the way it is and I did not make it so. Remember that osu are human being like us too. |

Instead of fighting to the end or surrendering, he fled to Ivory Coast. Biggest Coward of all. Need I say more? |
Quick questions: 1.What usually happens when you are given money you did not earn? (Remember, it is better to teach a man how to fish rather than ...) 2.What will happen when GEJ leaves office? 3.Isn't this setting precedent for Boko Haram and the likes? |
