The Yoruba language bill puts all doubt about the ownership of Lagos to rest.

OP which one is Oladipo her name is Dolapo.

FSU:
Afonjas and their ways

Read and don't be Lazy, the so called Binta Adebayo is Nene Okoro an Igbo lady from Abia state but Married to a Yoruba Man.

If we actually take a look at the definition of the word "Government" you will realize Nigerians so not have one. We only have Rulers not leaders not Government.

The primary role of a government is to protect the lives and properties of its citizens and also protect it territorial boundaries but the people we have are not doing that.

No good roads, no pipebourne water, epileptic Electricity supply, no enabling environment for its people to strive.

Each and every family provides Security, Water, Electricity for themselves so where does the word "Government" come into play here.

The earlier we separate this hell hole called Nigeria, the better for all of us.

Hausa-Fulani is the stumbling block that is holding every other tribe from progressing. We are not even stagnant as a country we are moving back to stone age and primitive times.

In as much as your from a wealthy family, you spend so much on liabilities... Save for the future...


My own and my Papa own no be the same

Which future, when his father is a billionaire, whether you like it or not your papa money is also your money because if hin Papa die today dem no go give am hin share inside?

You don't know how much he has in his account so you can't say he is spending too much on liabilities. Besides if you don't spend some of your money then why are you making money

enigmang:
Yea .. i agree with the stain.. but you can eat without getting soiled. plus most likely it could be these companies that have lunch served to staff, and someone is offering you what they have, you say no go an buy me snack?

See you don't eat too much when going for an interview, it can make your stomach uneasy, you could feel like using the toilet so best to avoid proper food before your interview.

Besides I didn't say she should say "Go and buy me snacks" she can say "I wouldn't mind snacks please" just put it in a polite way.

Lemme make a few points here;

First, she wasn't tested with the food besides she was offered lunch she didn't request for it.

Second,She should have told the personel that asked her if she wanted lunch, that she wanted snacks. Why would a job seeker be eating oily food when she has an interview before her, that could make her too heavy or unfit for the interview.

Finally, there is nothing bad accepting to eat if offered since they wasted her time for 3 hours, it's only normal to offer her lunch, I have been to quite a few interviews and they did offer us snacks not food, so she should have requested the personel buy her snacks instead of food.
Since most HR personnel interviewers access your dressing based on the Job,she was simply Disqualified because of the stain not for accepting food.

Well everyone seems to be happy for this deal.
Wenger is happy
I am happy
Giroud is happy.
Arsenal fans are happy
Ozil signs a new contract and he is happy.
Sanchez is happy
But Arsenal urgently needs to sign a decent center back and a good defensive midfielder..
Gunners for life..

I hear Alex Song has been released by Rubin Kazan to train and play for Arsenal. It's a similar situation to what happened when New York Red Bull released Henry to train and play for Arsenal if you remember in 2011.

If that's true that should at least make up for our defensive midfield for the season until summer when we find a good defensive midfielder to buy.

Sapiosexuality:
I'm done. I don't have much energy to play with.

You have more than enough energy to play with, you are just unhappy you have been defeated trying to play the victim mentality game.

The Port is a Lagos state/Private Partnership project, it has nothing to do with the FG so case closed you have been shamed and defeated in your own very game.

Sapiosexuality:
Lol. This is not logic. It wasn't Lagos that was the capital but Lagos Island? Lololol. More like Abuja is not the capital of Nigeria but just Asokoro. It's not Ikeja that is the capital of Lagos but Alausa. Lol. I won't even argue this or any of the others.

It seems this guy just likes to argue and he is hell bent on the victim mentality.

The guy you quoted was telling you there is a difference between Lagos state and Lagos the Former Federal capital. Colony of Lagos and FCT Lagos is different from Lagos State. 80% of Lagos state today was carved out from the Western region where Awolowo was premier.

Lagos State today=Part of Western region+FCT

duwdu:
I wouldn't know the source of this statistic, but it's definitely an informed opinion.

I was glued to the TV, Radio, Print media and Social media during and after the election so take it from me. I even created an Excel format to record all the results as Prof Jega was coaliting the results.

weownlagos:
The only way Apc will be defeated is if the pdp fields an igbo man as it's candidate.

How can a party field a Non-indigene as a Governorship candidate, is Lagos indigenous to Igbos? Population or no Population nobody will allow such. When even Egun people of Badagry that are indigenous to Lagos hasn't occupied the position, it is now a non- indigene that will be Governor when he has is own state. Until we cancel State of Origin that will not work in Lagos or any other place in this country.The best is the law makers you people got.

killsmith:
yorubas are already denying that they didn't vote buhari

Lemme share the voting percentage for you.

SW-60%APC 40% PDP (Ekiti,Ondo majorly contributing the 40%)
SE-95% PDP 5% APC (Imo bringing the 5%)
SS-85% PDP 15% APC (Edo majorly contributing the 15% for APC)
NC 55% APC 45% PDP
NW 90% APC 10% PDP
NE 90% APC 10%PDP

hammer6F:

Please stop insulting people here.


Igbo men dont want your yoruba women.


Abi na by force?


Please remove the tribes that u display on fp, i dey shame for all of una.

What is wrong with this fool, what is my business with you, go and hold them not to marry each other as if you own their lives. Fool

hammer6F:

OK, I will go with any of the two.


Even Itsekiri.


We igbo men have sworn never to marry Yoruba women.


But notice the speed the mods rush it to fp to advertise yoruba and igbo marriage like say na by force.

You have to understand that any other tribe bearing Yoruba names but are not Yoruba got their culture influenced one way or the other with Yoruba but the name Fikayo is a Yoruba name whether you are from Itsekiri or Isoko or whatever.

showboy2301:
you are right, my mistake. It's been long I went home,lol

No problem I knew it was a mistake just wanted to be sure.

Ola means Wealth and Ayo means Joy.

Ishilove:
You and your generation are raving lunatics and nincompoops. My in-laws are Isoko and with two fikayos in the mix.

Idiot!!

Mugu whether Igbo or Hausa bares Fikayo or not doesn't change the fact the name is a Yoruba name.

My Pastor did a Baby dedication last Sunday and named a Baby born into an Urhobo family a Yoruba name. It doesn't excuse the Child from been Urhobo but the name itself is a Yoruba name.

Stop arguing what you don't know is like hearing names like Uche or Chioma and saying they are not Igbo names does that sound normal to you?

showboy2301:
I'm surprised that you made this comment. I want to believe that you are not Yoruba. 'Fikayo' means 'add to wealth' something like Oluwafikayo (meaning Lord has added to our wealth'.

Wrong I doubt if you yourself is Yoruba, Fikayo means "add to my Joy"

Ishilove:
KimCutie, this is a typical example of intellectual laziness among Nigerian bloggers I was referring to.

The name 'Fikayo' is not a Yoruba name, and the pictures confirmed it. The lady is either Urhobo or Isoko, not Yoruba. A simple Google search would have confirmed it instead of rushing to post falsehood.

Mediocrity

I don't think you are okay at all, How can you say Fikayo is not a Yoruba name? I doubt if you are well.

Fikayo an Isoko/Urhobo name? You have gone completely mad.

Can't you see where they were dressed in Yoruba attire.

AFONJAPIG:
why the Igbo's are taking all the accolades in west ask urself diz question... abeg I'm not ur headache, save all this ur long grammar and strength for Fulani herdsmen invading ur village

What accolades are you taking in the SW?. An estimated 10-15million Igbos live in the SW thats about quarter of the entire Igbo population, so it is normal for you guys to compete with Yorubas in some areas and sectors. While we barely have 500 thousand Yorubas living in the SE.

AFONJAPIG:
Yoruba had a huge historical and geographical head start, the Igbo wiped out their handicap in one fantastic burst of energy in the twenty years between 1930 and 1950.”

bro I get am b4 no be property,

So you believe, you think Education is measured with the best state in WAEC. Am sure you saw the thread where Yorubas led in a list of Nigerians with the highest number of Journals.

SW has the highest number of Universities and Higher institutions in Nigeria. University of Ibadan and Covenant University leading in Nigeria and been listed in Africa's best Universities.

Ekiti having the highest number of Professors. Highest number of Lawyers, best Lawyers and Senior Advocates in Nigeria are all Yorubas.

Keep deluding yourself thinking you have overtaken Yoruba's in Education because of Anambra topping in WAEC.

Danladi7:
your ignorance is complicated because you dont know you are ignorant!

do you know yoruba name for Islam?
It is IMOLE,coinned from the word MALI!
Yoruba Islamic Historian will tell you Islam came to yorubaland from MALI,specifically through Malian traders in 15th century,during these period hausas are pagiansno


the first two mosques in yorubaland were built in Oyo and Iwo in 15th century while uthman dan fordio west africa jihad happened in 1804 to 1808 which spread islam through hausaland.


Islam also came to the southwestern Yoruba -speaking
areas during the time of the Mali Empire . In his
Movements of Islam in face of the Empires and
Kingdoms in Yorubaland , Sheikh Dr. Abu-Abdullah
Adelabu supported his claims on early arrival of Islam
in the southwestern Nigeria by citing the Arab
anthropologist Abduhu Badawi, who argued that the
fall of Koush southern Egypt and the prosperity of the
politically multicultural Abbasid period in the
continent had created several streams of migration,
moving west in the mid-9th Sub-Sahara .[10]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Nigeria


Yorubas came in contact with Islam around the 14th
century during the reign of Mansa Kankan Musa of
the Mali Empire. According to Al-Aluri, the first
Mosque was built in Ọyọ-Ile in AD 1550 although,
there were no Yoruba Muslims, the Mosque only
served the spiritual needs of foreign Muslims living in
Ọyọ. [citation needed] Progressively, Islam came to
Yoruba land, and Muslims started building Mosques:
Iwo town led, its first Mosque built in 1655 followed
by Iṣẹyin, in 1760; Lagos, 1774; Ṣaki, 1790; and
Oṣogbo, 1889. [citation needed] In time, Islam spread
to other towns like Oyo (the first Oyo convert was
Solagberu), Ibadan, Abẹokuta, Ijẹbu-Ode, Ikirun, and
Ẹdẹ before the 18th century Sokoto
jihad. [ citation needed ] Several factors contributed to
the rise of Islam in Yoruba land by mid 19th century.
Before the decline of Ọyọ, several towns around it
had large Muslim communities, unfortunately, when
Ọyọ was destroyed, these Muslims (Yoruba and
immigrants) relocated to newly formed towns and
villages and became Islam
protagonists. [ citation needed ] Second, there was a
mass movement of people at this time into Yoruba
land, many of these immigrants were Muslims who
introduced Islam to their host. [ citation needed ]

INFACT NO HAUSA FULANI HISTORIAN OR SCHOLAR WILL DE AR SAY IT THAT ISLAM CAME TO YORUBALAND FROM THEM

Remember that Fulani were not originally from this Geographical space called Nigeria they migrated from Mecca down to Mali, Senegal down to the old Songhai Empire. Even if there were traces of Mosque built in Old Oyo Empire majority did not practise Islam in Yoruba Land not until the Afonja-Alimi encounter that converted many Ilorin people and there after spread Islam throughout the entire Yoruba Land.

Utman Dan fodio only continued Jihad in Northern Nigeria. Fulani had already started a Jihad in Mali and other West African nations way way before Utman Dan fodio was born.

AFONJAPIG:
I have seen the reasons Igbo's are ahead of their counterparts in everything... Just check this pix below

In what way? The first of most things the Missionaries established in Nigeria was built in Western Nigeria so what is your point? The first school was built in Western Nigeria. The Western regional government built the first University,first TV station etc. So what exactly is your point?

Danladi7:
YOU ARE TOO IGNORANT!


YORUBAS,ILORIN PEOPLE INCLUSIVE,PRACTICED ISLAM BEFORE HAUSAS AND FULANIS

You are the very ignorant one, how can you say Yoruba Ilorin people practiced Islam before Hausa and Fulani people when in Actual fact Fulani brought Islam into what is now called Nigeria. Fulani who migrated from Mecca forced many West African tribes into Islam through Jihad (Holy War)

So you don't know the Alimi-Afonja story?

Ijaw Militants have influenced my tribemen in Ondo, When did Yoruba people start doing Militancy?

NwanyiAwkaetiti:
Lie reasonably. Plus know how to defend that lie.

Don't go looking like zobo when asked some questions relating to your lie.

You have said it all, lie if you are only able to defend it. But can really back fire on the candidate, if he/she is seeking for employment with a Multi-national company because most of them do background checks and verify the information you provided from your previous employers.

Without been biased as a Yoruba man,it has to be between these six men.

1.Wole Soyinka 2. Obasanjo and 3. Fela Kuti 4. Herbert Macauley 5. Nnamdi Azikiwe 6. Gani Fawehmi

That is not to say these men above didn't have their shortcomings as they were not perfect but they put Nigeria's interest at heart.

Every other person's like Ojukwu and Achebe represented Biafran interest so cannot be the greatest Nigerians.

Awolowo/Ahmadu Bello represented Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani interest respectively so they cannot be the greatest Nigerians.

Tafawa Balewa, we never really knew much about him except for the fact he was Prime Minister.

Good Evening guys, after completing my medicals with Ikeja Electric, I received an email saying

Dear ******,

Thank you for attending the interview(s) for the role of an Energy Sales Representative.

While the selection committee was impressed with your background and experience, we are keeping your application in view for future opportunities.



Thank you for your interest in Ikeja Electric.



Regards,
IE Recruitment team

Some guys from my batch have received their employment letters, completed their trainings and have been posted to their various Business units.

Now my question is that,I do no understand what they meant by this email. I will like someone to please explain to me what the recruiters mean especially if we have any HR person in the house who can explain things better for me.

A Beach without Ocean wave is what the OP is referring to as Beach. If the South East doesn't have Ocean(Landlocked) how come there is a beach there in Ebonyi? Or is the OP referring to River bank as a Beach?

I have lived in Britain and see its better in Abroad, so far you are not lazy you will survive and live comfortably after paying your bills. Just be ready to face racism and you have less freedom.

In Nigeria, even if you are hardworking where is the work to even do to survive. The uncertainty in Nigeria is just too much. Prices of food is increasing everyday with no increase in income. Tribalism and nepotism is rife here, the future is getting bleak everyday, no hope for our young ones.

krispysleek:
Yea. Already working with dem since december

Done my medicals with Ikeja Medical Center but haven't heard for them in a week?

Cekpo34:
When Murtala Muhammad and T. Y. Danjuma ousted and brutally murdered Aguyi Ironsi in 29 July, 1966, was it labelled a "northern" coup? We've all made mistakes...Let's spread the correct history and encourage our children to reconcile genuinely with their "prodigal" brothers. #peace

That was a retaliatory coup by Northern officers because they were the most affected by the January 15 coup so there was no need to term it a Northern coup but in actual fact it was a Northern coup.
