It's not that Yoruba Christians are reducing but most Yoruba don't take religious so seriously as other tribes in Nigeria. I sometimes mistook some people in my street as Muslims but later find their are Christians.

It's our (Yoruba) level of tolerance that is high that's why Religion doesn't seem to be deep among the Yorubas.

Come to Lagos and see lots of Churches even if its not more than mosques.

Its in Yoruba land that people believe "We worship one God"
You see same person in church today and in mosque tomorrow. A mainstream you dare not think of in North.

I'm surprised you didn't quote all my comments on this thread.....
Maybe I arrived too early to have noticed more comments from you.

TonySpike:
........The truth is this: many Yoruba elites (Muslim and Christians) grant their children religious freedom. That's why you'll find a Muslim family where some kids convert to Christianity later in life. Yoruba were mainly traditionalists until 230 years ago, this is just about three generations ago! This is why foreign religion isn't so strictly obseved in Yorubaland.
Yeah.
Yorubas are literate and liberal, thus the freedom.

Christianity EtcAre Yoruba Christians Really Dropping In Number To Islamization? by ayobase(op): 2:18pm On Jan 09, 2016
Here is an issue that crosses across Family, Culture and Religion.

It started on this thread, www.nairaland.com/2845414/khadijah-didnt-mention-isis-when.

But truth be told, I have lived most of my early years in Lagos before porting to North. While I lived in Lagos, you consciously notice the difference between a Christian and a Muslim unlike in the North where you unconsciously notice - it is written all over.

In North, a Christian is always security conscious - Nobody knows the time and the hour. The sticker on one's car/bag, one's dress code, and the likes are pointers that can give one away.

Some Christians have gone to the extent of learning or cramming some Quran verses as insurance against days of reckoning.

The Notherners as well culturally discriminate within Islam - a Yoruba Muslim is an infidel. This is noticed when slaughtering begins.

In Lagos, and unlike in North, both religions can be involved in Marriages, Schools, Friendships, Businesses and others amicably.


Make I stop to dey talk, read related excerpts from that thread.

Onyejiuwaokoh:
Who impregnated Grace? I mean the father of Isa, Jihadi junior. Some people always say "religion doesn't matter in their tribe, you can be a Christian and your wife or children can be Moslems". it matters now, keep your family strong in the lord. The carelessness and nonchalant attitude of yoruba Christians makes them to be decreasing against the other religions. Presently, Yorubas are more than 70% Moslem, unlike before Christians were larger in number there.
TonySpike:
Where did you get your silly statistics of 70% from? Can you tell us why you feel Christianity is diminishing among Yorubas when facts on ground show otherwise? This story is about a British Nigerian who was radicalised right there in the UK. How does this correlate to what is happening in Yorubaland? You Easterners are just hilarious!
Onyejiuwaokoh:
It was very difficult get a prominent yoruba man who is not Moslem to run with Buhari in the last election. Until a mere commissioner was later found, I mean a former state commissioner(Osubade-PMB).
TonySpike:
This is a very weak premise, my friend. Give another valid premise to your assertion, "Yorubas Muslim are 70%....". Otherwise, stop throwing useless statistics around!
Validated:
Alh. Tinubu's wife - Christian
Alh. Fashola's wife - Christian
Alh. Ajimobi's wife - Christian
Alh. Amosu's wife - Christian
Not sure if Aregbe's wife is not also a Christian. Yoruba Christians women sef!! They love to be unequally yoked ...
Conversely, Mr. Fayemi, Mr. Mimiko and Mr. Fayose are married to Christians. Do you then have any fact to debunk the fact that Yoruba christians are being depopulated through marriagehuh
I think that response shut TonySpike up.

BusinessRe: I Want To Go Into Keke Napep Business, Please I Need Some Guidelines by ayobase(m): 7:12pm On Jan 07, 2016
Ymodulus:
This business is an interesting one I must confess. However to go into it there are 3 principles which must be settled.

1. Location
2. Method of Remmitance
3. New or second Hand Keke


1. New or second Hand Keke. Which is best ?
I will advice you that if you want to go into the keke Napep business please get second Hand Keke Napeps not New one. Believe me it's best to buy something new good. But getting a good second Hand Keke Napeps is around 110 - 140k and the person will pay you double.

In Lagos you can easily make your money in 2 months 1week ( exact time frame my friend used to get hers back ).

There are good keke Napeps second hands.
Once more go for good second hand and not new ones. Many may decieve you that new are best, yes they are good am not disputing this. But me and you need sharp good fast money then second hand is the way.


2. Method of Remittance
The period of complete returns on a keke depends on two things :
1. the status of the Keke at time of purchase ( I.e New or second hand )
2. Does your driver work on Saturdays and Sundays ? ( Some people set any return from those days mostly Sunday as maintenance money. Some don't )
3. Agreed fee of return by driver.

There are generally two ways of paying a keke Driver.
1. Hire purchase
2. Daily Balance


I believe the two need no explanation just little extra tips.
I will never advice you to give your keke napep based on returns of Daily Balance. It's a No no. So help you whatever you believe in.

In transportation business drivers can be A pain in the house, don't even trust your brother and Lagos for that reason my brother you have to be wary.
Hire purchase is the best. In the North , Higher Purchase is what is mostly done and in the South East mostly daily Balance.

Daily return vary according to
1. Your state or Location
2. Status of Keke Napepe ( new or old )

In Niger , Katsina for example daily returns are N2000 and N3000 respectively for a new keke napep. And for second hand it is based on negotiation. But in Niger it is roughly N1500-1700/1800.

Note all the price can be subject to negotiation. However am giving you standard normal price.

In Lagos it is N4000 - N4500 ( for those plying Computer Village route ).
Note don't let anyone decieve you for the poster know what he his saying.

Now on the amount to return. There are two ways of paying back Hire Purchase.

1. Negotiated ( you and driver agrees that you bought keke marwa for say N400 and he will pay N700 )
2. Standard ( pay x2 the price. Takes place mostly in North and for second hand marwa ).


Note: payment on hire purchase is all based on negotiations.


3. Brand of Keke Napep to Buy
I can only speak for Kaduna, Kano, Kastina and Niger. TVS keke Napep is the best type, the parts are readily available and cheap. Also cost efficient.

4. Import a New Keke or Buy Here in Nigeria

If you have the know how to import, I will advice you import keke Napeps. Keke napeps are produced in India. But you can get from china wholesalers wholesalers.

Keke Napeps spare parts are produced by Chinese and are more cheaper. Most importers import the spare part from china. In fact All keke spare parts are Chinese, Chinese sell the clone cheap better than India.

22Keke Napep will make 1 20ft Container. It cost approximately 98k to bring in on the average per one ( tax and government expenses + custom clearance + cost of getting form m and all).

Note: there are cheaper ways to bring in keke napep far way cheaper than what Nigerian wholesalers sell.

I can show you ways to bring in keke napeps at flat rate of 35k per piece. It's possible. Everything is legal.

The keke business is a sweet business if you know your way and I advice students to run this type of business.

Below is a second hand keke Napep I got some time back.


www.nairaland.com/attachments/2856999_img20150914160740_jpegbe925ea15476351e01868bfe12064ff1


5. Cost of New Keke Napep

1. TVS ( N420,000 ) ** I imported this myself 11pcs but I got it way cheaper and sold back at N375k there around . if you know custom you know your way **
2. Michindra (435,000) as at Last Month November

Note! The above price is obtainable in Niger, Kaduna Kano wholesalers.

In Lagos, TVS is now 440K, Azubike Tricycles ( he sight dollar rate as reason for hike.)



5. Cost of Second Hand Keke Napep

You can get good grade 1 brand at N140,000 or N150,000.
But the general rate is N110-150,000 ( For good ones in good conditions ).




Thanks

PoliticsRe: Ojuelegba Crash: Victims’ Family Sues Lagos, FRSC, Others For N10bn by ayobase(op): 9:06am On Jan 06, 2016
from last year;

By Evelyn Usman, Bose Adelaja & Yinka Adetona

FOLLOWING the death of three persons, when a trailer fell off Ojuelegba bridge last Wednesday, Lagos residents have called on the relevant authorities to regulate the movement of heavy duty trucks in Lagos State, saying the incident was one too many.

Meanwhile, Divisional Police Officer of Surulere Police Division, Chief Superintendent of Police Monday Agbonika, said yesterday that the driver of the truck had been arrested.

The affected vehicles were also promptly removed from the road, which eventually eased the traffic gridlock created by the crash.

The trailer driver, identified as Wasiu Adeleke, was arrested for killing three occupants of a Sports Utility Vehicle, SUV, a black Toyota Corolla with number plates LSD 532 CN, and a white Nissan Sunny saloon with number plates DG 750 LND, when his cement-laden trailer fell off the Ojuelegba bridge.

The driver of the white Nissan Sunny car, one Lasisi Akeem, whose car was partially crushed by the heavy duty truck, escaped.

The truck, with number plates EPE 46 XK, driven by Wasiu a native of Ibadan, was carrying a 40-foot container loaded with cement and armoured doors.

LASEMA

The General Manager of Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Michael Akindele told Vanguard yesterday that the state government was in contact with the victims’ relations to perfect the process of their corpses’ release from Lagos Mainland Hospital, where they were deposited.

Akindele said the articulated vehicle and the 40-foot container were taken to the office of the Lagos State Task Force on Environmental Offences for further investigations.

Also, the three victims, he said, were male adults within the age bracket of 30 and 35 years.

The SUV and the Nissan car were said to be trapped in the gridlock when the accident happened killing both occupants in the SUV and the lone occupant of the Nissan car.

An eyewitness, Joseph Babatunde, said the 40-foot container was coming from the Costain end of the road, when it skidded off.

After hours of sawing out the container parts, it was evacuated from atop the SUV and the bodies of the three male occupants, including the driver recovered.

As at press time, the identities of the deceased persons were yet unknown given their mangled state.

Residents send SOS to govt
Residents of Ojuelegba area, where the crash occurred, have appealed to the state government to save them from incessant cases of falling trucks in their area, which they say have claimed several lives.

Majority of the people said Lagos State government should enforce a law, which will regulate movement of container-laden trucks on Lagos roads.

One of the residents, Mrs. Kehinde Omodara, said: “I saw the accident and it was very pathetic and painful. We have been losing too many lives on this road because of careless drivers.

“Majority of the drivers are youths, who I think are extremely too young for the driving job. Only matured people should be allowed to drive trucks.

Matthew Bernard, a shop owner around Ojuelegba bus-stop, said: “We are calling on Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to make special roads for trucks or enact laws that will regulate the movement of trailers, which will be different from the ones used by other vehicles.

“That particular trailer was not in good shape at all and it developed fault right from Barracks Bus Stop, but refused to stop.

“Government should not allow trailers that carry containers to ply the road during the day and they should not climb the bridge. The issue of falling trucks is becoming too much in Ojuelegba and whenever they fall, they kill innocent people.

“This year alone, we have recorded four trailer incidents in Ojuelegba. Government should please do something fast to prevent loss of lives on our roads.”

They should move at night

Daniel Chukwukeze said: “Wednesday’s tragedy would have been averted if the container was properly latched to the trailer. But as is the usual practice, they did not bother to do that.

“Governor Ambode should save us from these trailers and tankers. They are hired killers because they do not care about other people’s lives.

“Enough of wasting of lives on our roads due to trailer or tanker accidents. Government should restrict their movement to night time. That is the practise in other countries.”

Dancing Shoki in celebration of your buying an animal that should have been left free in the wild.
anyway here are some tips to help you to become a good parrot keeper.

1. Obtain a proper cage.
Square or rectangular cages are more appropriate for parrots; they feel unsafe in round cages that do not have corners. Ensure your cage is large enough for your parrot to climb and move comfortably in. Cages should have enough room for perches, toys, food bowls, water bowls, and rest areas. Choose the size of your parrot cage based on the size of your parrot:
A minimum of approximately: 24" W x 24" H x 24" D for smaller parrots
A minimum of approximately 5 ft W x 6 ft H x 3½ ft D for larger parrots
Bar spacing: 1/2" for smaller parrots
Bar spacing: 4" for larger parrots

2. Place the cage in a room where he can interact.
Parrots are social creatures. In the wild, they stay with a flock and maintain constant contact with flock mates. If they are kept isolated they may develop separation anxiety. Parrots like being in rooms where their human flock hangs out.
If you have other pets, you will want to keep your bird cage in a room that can be closed off while you are gone from the house. Be sure that you supervise your other pets around the bird, and keep them out of the room if they are causing stress to the bird.

3 Keep temperatures steady.
Birds can tolerate a large range of temperature, but the ideal temperature for your parrot is between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid leaving your parrot in a chilly room or dropping your thermostat overnight during winter. Temperatures below 40 degrees can be dangerous for birds, especially thin ones. Plumper birds can develop heat stress to temperatures above 85 degrees. If you must keep your parrot in higher temperatures, be sure that there is plenty of air circulation.

Part 2: Feeding Your Parrot
1 Vary your parrot's diet. Parrots need a varied diet with a broad range of nutritional value. They should ideally not be kept on a diet of seeds and pellets only, though the bird seed and pellet mixes at pet stores are good to use as the base for their diet. Here are some basics for supplementing the seed or pellet mixtures:
- Do feed fresh fruits and vegetables. Rinse them well just like you would if you were preparing them for people. Many parrots like grapes, bananas, apples, carrots, berries, greens, all varieties of cooked squash, peas, green beans, and more. Be sure to not overdo it on fruit because of sugar content.
- Some types of parrots, such as macaws, love to open the shells of nuts to get the meat out. Try giving your parrot pistachios, pecans, and macadamias.
- Do not feed parrots caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, sugary or salty snacks, greasy foods, raw or dry beans, rhubarb leaves, dill, cabbage, asparagus, eggplant or honey.
- Never give a parrot avocado or onions! Both are toxic to parrots. Avocado can cause immediate cardiac arrest and death in a parrot.[4]
- Feed the right amounts. Small and medium sized birds should have food and water containers that are at least 20 ounces. Large birds should have food and water containers that are at least 30 ounces. Weaned babies and small birds will need extra amounts of food because of their higher metabolisms and levels of activity.

- Have a container for water that’s large enough for your bird to bathe in. Birds will drink out of the same water they bathe in, and this is okay. Be sure not to put vitamin supplements in water even if the guidelines say to do this. The reasons are because birds don’t drink that much, so you don’t know how much they are getting, and because it can cause bacteria to form quickly in the water.[6]
Image titled Care for a Parrot Step 84
Avoid cooking with non-stick pans and utensils. This is especially true if you keep your parrot in or near the kitchen. The chemicals used in non-stick cookware can be deadly to parrots when heated above a certain temperature.
Second hand smoke is also very bad for parrots, just like it is for humans. Avoid smoking in the house if you smoke and have a parrot.

Part 3: Keeping Your Parrot Healthy
1 Tend to the cage bottom every two days.
2 Clean and change the food and water bowls every day. Remove the food and water bowls daily, clean them and replace them with fresh food and water.
Remove foods that rot quickly, such as cooked beans, immediately after feeding. Parrots can be especially prone to infections from bacteria, so keeping the cage clean is an absolute necessity
Be sure to use a bird-safe disinfectant for cleaning the cage weekly - these can be found at your local pet store. Regular human disinfectants can be too strong and can harm your bird.
3 Visit the vet on a regular schedule. Some parrots are completely healthy forever, however most of the time when your parrot encounters a health problem, it could have been solved with some preventative vet consultations. Make sure your veterinarian is one that sees birds specifically
4 Watch for health problems. A healthy parrot is alert to his surroundings, stays upright most of the time, and is active. If your parrot starts acting sick, see a veterinarian. Some signs of a sick parrot include:
Deformed, receding, or ulcerated beak
Difficulty breathing
Stains around the eyes or nostrils
Change in appearance or texture of stools
Weight loss or loss of appetite
Swollen eyes or eyelids
Feather problems including chewing, plucking, or thinning
Bowed head, lethargy, being overly quiet

Part 4: Training and Socializing Your Parrot
1 Learn to approach the cage properly. In the beginning, approach your parrot’s cage slowly and without making any loud noises. You may also want to avoid eye contact in the beginning for a fearful bird, so he doesn’t feel singled out by a predator. If you find the parrot trying to bite you, thrashing around the cage, or making other drastic displays of discomfort to your presence, you’ll need to get him accustomed to you:
Go back out of the room and out of sight. Start walking back in, and at the moment of the discomfort response, stop and stay where you are. Do not approach further and wait for him to calm down. Then begin walking closer. If he acts up again, stop and stay still until he calms down. You may need to do this frequently until you can get close to the cage.

Determine treats for your parrot. Training your parrot is a must for giving him the socialization he needs. To determine what foods are his favorite treats, try giving him a variety of nuts, fresh and dried fruits, and seeds. A new parrot may be unaccustomed to some of these foods, so give him a few days to determine which ones are favorites. Once you figure out a favorite, don’t serve it as part of daily meals and save it for training.

Use target training to get your parrot to come out of and return to the cage. The first step of target training is getting the parrot to eat treats from your hand. This may take a few seconds to a few weeks. Simply go to the side of the cage and have a treat in your hand. Wait for the parrot to come over and eat it.
Once your parrot is comfortable eating treats from your hand, introduce the clicker. Begin clicking the clicker right before offering a treat from your hand. Do this every time, so that it becomes used to hearing the click before eating a treat.
Use a target stick (chopstick or dowel) to get your parrot to move to certain areas of the cage. Begin by introducing the stick, allowing the parrot to move close to it, and deliver a click and a treat. Train the parrot to move toward the stick each time by delivering the click and the treat. If he becomes uninterested in the stick, he may be full and you should wait a while until he becomes hungrier to resume training.[11]
Use the target stick to teach your parrot to step up onto your hand or a handheld perch. Eventually you should be able to bring your parrot out of the cage to continue training and/or clean the cage.
Keep all of your training sessions short (about 10 to 15 minutes each time) and only try to train once or twice a day.

Tame your parrot to allow you to pet him. Many parrots enjoy being pet and touched. The first place to start is with his beak. Once he is comfortable having your hand near his beak without trying to bite, you’ll know he is comfortable with you touching him. Bring your hand slowly near his beak. If he looks like he’s going to try to bite, stop immediately. Hold your hand still until he calms down. When you get your hand close to his beak without him trying to bite, take your hand away and give a treat.
Do the same steps with touching his body. Move your hand toward his body slowly. If he seems irritated, stop and wait. Work up to being allowed to pet him. Once you’re able to pet him, give a treat.

Talk to your parrot. Some parrots are better “talkers” than others, but all parrots have the anatomical capability to mimic human speech. Regardless of how well your parrot learns to repeat you, talking to him is an important part of his emotional health, so be sure to talk to him often.
Name certain things to him: when giving him certain types of food, you can say, “apple,” or “banana.”
Associate certain words with your actions. When you walk into the room, say "Hello, Alex" (or whatever your name is) or "Good morning!" When you leave a room, say “Good-bye!” or “Good night.”
Your parrot will also enjoy hearing you have a conversation (even if it’s with him and is mostly one-sided), hearing you sing, listening to the television while you watch it, or listening to music.
Some parrots pick up many phrases, so be careful of cursing or yelling around him unless you want him to repeat unsavory language.[14]

Choose good toys for your parrot. Toys provide mental stimulation and relief from boredom. You should offer toys that have a variety of textures, colors, and sounds. It’s a good idea to rotate the toys weekly so your parrot doesn’t get bored of the same toys day in and day out. Here are some more things to keep in mind about parrot toys:
Choose small, lightweight toys and mirrors for small birds.
Larger birds like to manipulate thicker toy pieces with their beaks, tongues and feet.
Birds love to chew. It is part of their natural behavior to tear things apart. Be sure to check the toys regularly for damage, and throw them away if they are cracked or could break into small pieces that could injure your parrot.

Learn parrot body language. In general, a parrot with an upright stance and smoothed feathers is wary or frightened. Loose, slightly ruffled feathers indicate happiness. A bird sitting on one foot with puffed out feathers may not feel well. All feathers sticking as far out as possible usually mean he’s courting or getting ready to fight. Stretching out one wing and then the other, or a slight tail feather wagging, means he’s feeling happy and healthy. Some happy birds even wiggle their tongues or move their beaks up and down when they see something they like
always do acknowledge the source.

CrimeRe: Nigerian Jailed 330 Years In The US For Raping Daughter by ayobase(m): 4:52pm On Dec 20, 2015
MAYOWAAK:

However, Emmanuel Ngene denied the rape charges and penetration of his daughter. He contended that her daughter was sexually molested and penetrated by a boy at her school in Nigeria, the head mistress of the daughter’s school called him when the incident happened and he travelled home to remove his daughter from the school because of the molestation.



“Here, defendant testified during voir dire that, in 2006, he received a call from his wife that Cindy had been sexually assaulted at school, was walking funny, and was bleeding. He claimed that he flew home to Nigeria and transferred Cindy from Graceland Private School, where the assault had supposedly occurred, to another school.

AND

“When Cindy and her mother were questioned on voir dire, however, each denied that any sexual assault had occurred. Cindy acknowledged changing schools, but her mother explained that she had moved Cindy to a different school because Graceland Private School was too expensive.”


I recently contacted Ms. Mary Ngene for interview with regards to this essay. Her response:” If you write anything about me, I will sue you!”

You do not need to interview anyone, but Graceland school.

PoliticsNew Zealand Begins Voting In Flag Referendum (Pics Of Shortlisted Flags) by ayobase(op): 9:36am On Nov 20, 2015
Voting has begun in New Zealand in a referendum which could see the country getting a new national flag.

New Zealanders have just under a month to send in a postal ballot on which of five potential new flags they prefer.

A second vote in 2016 will ask whether they want to replace the existing flag, which features the UK's Union Jack, with the new design.

Prime Minister John Key has said the current flag is not representative of modern New Zealand.

He also believes it is too similar to Australia's, but has admitted that polling indicates most New Zealanders would rather keep it.

The Flag Consideration Panel received 10,292 entrants to its nationwide design competition.

Not all were entirely serious, though some of the rejected designs - including Laser Kiwi - gained something of a cult following.

Four designs were on the shortlist announced in September, but there was criticism that they were too similar or uncreative.

Three featured a fern design and the fourth the curving koru Maori symbol.

After a social media lobbying campaign, the government changed the rules so a fifth design - called Red Peak - also made the final cut.

To help people make a decision, the five flags are being put on display across the country.

Sets of flags are being given out free to communities who have five suitable flagpoles to display them from, so the public can see them in "real-life situations".
