Look, I have struggled through some of your posts, your worst are personal insults people without logical reasoning resort to.

You may have to do better to get my attention.
Obviously, you have limited vocabulary to express yourself.

davidnazee:
Your fake made up stories and frustration amuse me a lot. Don’t worry, my next post will break ur heart. Ask Babaramota I dealt with him before he ran here. I will deal with u too.

Watch out for some of Ogiamen sons that were conquered by Oranmiyan centuries ago still resisting Yoruba domination of their ruling house.

They now want to use Urhobo and Esan as their mercenaries against Yoruba. The same Ogiso they deserted to form their own land because of brutality and imprisonment with a wall to prevent them from escaping.

No it won't work. Professor Peter Ekeh, an Urhobo detailed your cruelty until Oranmiyan saved you from Ogiso.

When Ogiso sent his soldiers to go and bring back Ekhaleran from Ughoton, they deserted rather than commit suicide in the hands of formidable Ughoton soldiers protecting Ekhaleran.

You wan hia wod, we go dash you plenty.

davidnazee:
The Benin armies that laid waste to much of Eastern Yoruba, beheading your rulers were mostly made up of Esan and urhobo soldiers, brave warriors they are. And the army was led by Esan Generals.
One of the administrators appointed to administer a part of our conquered Yoruba town was Urhobo. Some Esan administrators were appointed too.

You are not Edo so can never understand who the Edo people are. But know this; Benin kingdom of the Edo people conquered and ruled over your ancestors for hundreds of years. It is all in the archives, go find out and you will see the painful truth.

Look, this Edo, Edo nobody knows among reputable historians, takes a back seat to others outside South West where the most recognized civilization in Africa is Yoruba; taught in every reputable university worldwide.

Outside South West, Try Hausa states, Igbo Ukwu, Ashanti, Sudan etc. Edo will never register except among usurpers standing on Yoruba shoulders.

If it is only claiming and usurping other people's culture because they lack authentic one they can point to, we may create one for them.

But these people base their pride on cruelty. Beheading pregnant women, midnight marauding of peaceful people while looking for loot and severe oppression at home by building walls so that people could not flee.

It did not prevent Urhobo from fleeing, it did not prevent Ekhaleran from fleeing to Ughoton to become their Oba which they mischievously called fleeing to Ife.

The people just had enough of these midnight marauders begging Ile- Ife to come to their rescue.

Even their conqueror Oranmiyan called it Ile-Ibinu.

How midnight raiders now pride themselves as conquerors is ridiculous.

BLACK CIVILIZATIONS OF
ANCIENT AMERICA (MUU-LAN),
MEXICO (XI)

Gigantic stone head of Negritic African
during the Olmec (Xi) Civilization

By Paul Barton
Negritic African The earliest people in the Americas were people of the Negritic African race, who entered the Americas perhaps as early as 100,000 years ago, by way of the bering straight and about thirty thousand years ago in a worldwide maritime undertaking that included journeys from the then wet and lake filled Sahara towards the Indian Ocean and the Pacific, and from West Africa across the Atlantic Ocean towards the Americas.
According to the Gladwin Thesis, this ancient journey occurred, particularly about 75,000 years ago and included Black Pygmies, Black Negritic peoples and Black Australoids similar to the Aboriginal Black people of Australia and parts of Asia, including India.

African terracotta Recent discoveries in the field of linguistics and other methods have shown without a doubt, that the ancient Olmecs of Mexico, known as the Xi People, came originally from West Africa and were of the Mende African ethnic stock. According to Clyde A. Winters and other writers (see Clyde A. Winters website), the Mende script was discovered on some of the ancient Olmec monuments of Mexico and were found to be identical to the very same script used by the Mende people of West Africa. Although the carbon fourteen testing date for the presence of the Black Olmecs or Xi People is about 1500 B.C., journies to the Mexico and the Southern United States may have come from West Africa much earlier, particularly around five thousand years before Christ. That conclusion is based on the finding of an African native cotton that was discovered in North America. It's only possible manner of arriving where it was found had to have been through human hands. At that period in West African history and even before, civilization was in full bloom in the Western Sahara in what is today Mauritania. One of Africa's earliest civilizations, the Zingh Empire, existed and may have lived in what was a lake filled, wet and fertile Sahara, where ships criss-crossed from place to place.

ANCIENT AFRICAN KINGDOMS PRODUCED
OLMEC TYPE CULTURES

The ancient kingdoms of West Africa which occupied the Coastal forest belt from Cameroon to Guinea had trading relationships with other Africans dating back to prehistoric times. However, by 1500 B.C., these ancient kingdoms not only traded along the Ivory Coast, but with the Phoenicians and other peoples. They expanded their trade to the Americas, where the evidence for an ancient African presence is overwhelming. The kingdoms which came to be known by Arabs and Europeans during the Middle Ages were already well established when much of Western Europe was still inhabited by Celtic tribes. By the 5th Century B.C., the Phoenicians were running comercial ships to several West African kingdoms. During that period, iron had been in use for about one thousand years and terracotta art was being produced at a great level of craftsmanship. Stone was also being carved with naturalistic perfection and later, bronze was being used to make various tools and instruments, as well as beautifully naturalistic works of art.

The ancient West African coastal and interior Kingdoms occupied an area that is now covered with dense vegetation but may have been cleared about three to four thousand years ago. This includes the regions from the coasts of West Africa to the South, all the way inland to the Sahara. A number of large kingdoms and empires existed in that area. According to Blisshords Communications, one of the oldest empires and civilizions on earth existed just north of the coastal regions into what is today Mauritania. It was called the Zingh Empire and was highly advanced. In fact, they were the first to use the red, black and green African flag and to plant it throughout their territory all over Africa and the world.

The Zingh Empire existed about fifteen thousand years ago. The only other civilizations that may have been in existance at that period in history were the Ta-Seti civilization of what became Nubia-Kush and the mythical Atlantis civilization which may have existed out in the Atlantic, off the coast of West Africa about ten to fifteen thousand years ago. That leaves the question as to whether there was a relationship between the prehistoric Zingh Empire of West Africa and the civilization of Atlantis, whether the Zingh Empire was actually Atlantis, or whether Atlantis if it existed was part of the Zingh empire. Was Atlantis, the highly technologically sophisticated civilization an extension of Black civilization in the Meso-America and other parts of the Americas?

as the San Agustine culture stone carving of a Shaman

The above ancient stone carvings (500 t0 1000 B.C.) of Shamans of Priest-Kings clearly show distinct similarities in instruments held and purpose. The realistic carving of an African king or Oni and the stone carving of a shaman from Columbia's San Agustin Culture indicates diffusion of African religious practices to the Americas. In fact, the region of Columbia and Panama were among the first places that Blacks were spotted by the first Spanish explorers to the Americas.

From the archeological evidence gathered both in West Africa and Meso-America, there is reason to believe that the African Negritics who founded or influenced the Olmec civilization came from West Africa. Not only do the collosol Olmec stone heads resemble Black Africans from the Ghana area, but the ancient religious practices of the Olmec priests was similar to that of the West Africans, which included shamanism, the study of the Venus complex which was part of the traditions of the Olmecs as well as the Ono and Dogon People of West Africa. The language connection is of significant importance, since it has been found out through decipherment of the Olmec script, that the ancient Olmecs spoke the Mende language and wrote in the Mend script, which is still used in parts of West Africa and the Sahara to this day.

ANCIENT TRADE BETWEEN THE AMERICAS AND AFRICA

The earliest trade and commercial activities between prehistoric and ancient Africa and the Americas may have occurred from West Africa and may have included shipping and travel across the Atlantic. The history of West Africa has never been properly researched. Yet, there is ample evidence to show that West Africa of 1500 B.C. was at a level of civilization approaching that of ancient Egypt and Nubia-Kush. In fact, there were similarities between the cultures of Nubia and West Africa, even to the very similarities between the smaller scaled hard brick clay burial pyramids built for West African Kings at Kukia in
pre Christian Ghana and their counterparts in Nubia, Egypt and Meso-America.

Although West Africa is not commonly known for having a culture of pyramid-building, such a culture existed although pyramids were created for the burial of kings and were made of hardened brick. This style of pyramid building was closer to what was built by the Olmecs in Mexico when the first Olmec pyramids were built. In fact, they were not built of stone, but of hardened clay and compact earth.

Still, even though we don't see pyramids of stone rising above the ground in West Africa, similar to those of Egypt, Nubia or Mexico, or massive abilisks, collosal monuments and structures of Nubian and Khemitic or Meso-American civilization. The fact remains, they did exist in West Africa on a smaller scale and were transported to the Americas, where conditions
such as an environment more hospitable to building and free of detriments such as malaria and the tsetse fly, made it much easier to build on a grander scale.

Poor me, Look at who I am giving info to. Does not know the history of naturally born Japanese Americans or African Americans before Columbus.

Why am I discussing these and with whom?

Let me warn you Favor. Please, na good I take beg you, do not blow your bridges. Africa may be down today, it's the only place where most of us have a country nobody can deport us from.

If you think you are secured in America, ask the Japanese Americans, ask the Chinese or better still ask Mexicans or the children of those in detention camps today.

This is how you guys piss me off. All of you that enjoyed free education and free healthcare in the Midwest, that are calling Yoruba poor and all kinds of names are stingy with the truth and ungrateful. Of all people, not Edo, our brothers and sisters.

So two brothers are now separated because one individual Oba got slighted. He also threw one of the most illustrious and foremost Edo historian under the bus. Just because of individual sligh.

Favor99:
Banku or Banky booky or booty or whatever you call yourself
I don’t live in the ghetto. Your just a hater. How would you know where I live anyway? Your spouting nonsense.
I’ve talked about uniting, coming together, being one people, but your people are so bent on being tribalustic. What’s ghetto about what I’m doing?
This Nigeria of a country. Smh. No wonder no one wants anything to do with that continent. My goodness. Something simple as uniting and embracing one another you can’t do.
You want to start forming and putting down your own kind.
No wonder everyone wants wants to distance from anything Africa
I thought my Naija people were awesome amazing people who I’ve always admired, until I saw the level of trash on this forum

Yoruba eh?

The only viable region in the country from time immemorial. No wonder Yorubaland is where all of you run to and wanna die in.

No wonder all of you want to claim Lagos.

Out of respect for Benin friends and relatives until this YORUBA OBA pointed left finger to his home: I refuse to say anything derogatory about Edo. After all, it is also my shame.

davidnazee:
It seems the word peasants is a new word for you or favourite thing to say.
In case you didn’t know, Nigeria has been declared the poorest country in the world full of peasants. So peasants isn’t specific to Edos, it is the whole Nigeria full of peasants.
But Slavery and descendants of slaves is only specific to the Yorubas. 80% of Your people are either slaves or children of slaves and that is a fact!!

Now back to the peasants issue; do you know that mathematically/averagely, Yorubas due to their large numbers have more peasants/very poor and illiterate people more than the Edos?
Yes your Yoruba race have more poor, illiterate and very useless people compared to the Edos. And Edo State is richer than all Yoruba states. Go find out for yourself.
So now who are really the peasants??

I said it before, you are the most foolish and dumbest Yoruba troll on here.

Favor or whatever you call yourself.

By your words and language, you are probably somewhere in some ghetto thinking you live in a rich country.

Do you realize that most Americans do not have $1,000.00 that is a thousand dollars in the bank or live from one paycheck to another?

People who use your type of language just cannot express themselves logically so they turn to language used as in the ghetto to show they are civilized.

Nevertheless, I think it's worth the trouble to put these usurpers straight.

I beg your pardon sir. Who live on what dollars a day?

If you have not been to the farm of others' papa, never say na your papa farm big pass. A word of caution.

This is internet, you do not know who is who, my brother.

Favor99:
Change this your attitude. You live on less than $2 a day and your calling people peasants? Wtf

Where were you all these years when Yoruba watch the usurpers gloat and develop wings while they were ignored?

When Prof Ade Ajaiyi was called upon to refute the revised history, didn't he ignore the usurpers?

Somebody has to stop, has to stop you guys. It has started spreading overseas. A boy came out at a party to give a lesson he learned. Guess what? the revised history!

If it was not nipped, it could have caught fire.

Do not start what you cannot finish.

Favor99:
You always ignore the stuff your Yoruba brothers are doing. You’ve been using vulgar and demeaning words throughout this thread.
Calling people peasants, mongrels, witches and stuff.
Why the hel* do you keep calling us Oviedo. “You oviedos this” “you oviedos that”
You have no humility, your pompous and have a very artificial false sense of superiority
Other nations have median incomes on average of $50,000-$60,000 per year, how would you like it if they came and started acting condescending to you. Is Yoruba or any ethnic group in Nigeria anywhere near that? Why the superiority complex when your living in abject poverty?
You shouldn’t be looking down on anybody with such meager income.
When I see fellow Yorubas going through racism from oyinbo here in the US, I Dey see it’s just karma. They no different.
I’ve been trying to make peace and be respectful, but pompous visionless people like you continue acting anyhow on this nairaland

Didn’t that Ooni of ife say Edo is part and parcel of Yoruba territory last year? Arrogance!
I don’t care about your Eweka or Oduduwa or Orayiman and who came first second or last. Or if they came from the sky or the forest. It makes no difference to me.
Instead of looking ways to develop the country which starts with unity or picking up a skill your here acting like your ish don’t stink forming complexes throughout this thread

You are one of those peasants that Oba met when he captured the Efa and Oru that were ruled by Ogiso.

You would not know that. Oba has not always been with you. It was Ogiso before Oba. The Ogiso committed an abomination, beheading a pregnant woman.

The Efa and Oru revolted. Before then, the Urhobo and others deserted the tyrants. You need to find out why Oba have to pay for the land before being crowned at each succession ceremony. As peasants that info is privileged only to your chiefs.

I engage in facts and history that many of you peasants are not aware of, my buroda.

prolog2:
It seems you don't know the meaning of the words "fact" and "history". Yoruba unproven stories claiming the king of a mighty kingdom named Benin Kingdom is neither fact nor history. Also, all that talk about reknown imposter ogiamen is either coming from your ignorance or you are just speaking trash on purpose. For your information, nobody comes from Ife and our Oba is our lord, he pays nothing to nobody and owes nothing to nobody. He is our king and his ancestors have always been on the throne as far as history can tell.

Tell me any part of what I wrote that is not fact.. SomebAdy wants us to compare pictures. I did and complemented it with factual observation and a touch of history.

I do not engage in gutter language.

E pain am?

davidnazee:
You have overtaken Babaramota to become the most foolish and dumbest Yoruba troll on here. Kudos to you..

These people are tickled to death because Olu of Itsekiri called their Oba father.

At least they did not point their left hand to Bini since it was a Bini son that gave them their dynasty. It simply means they are not in denial like the ungrateful Oba that re-wrote his own history hoping that Ogiamen would accept him without paying his token for the land at every crowning ceremony.

The day Oba of Binin refuses to pay for the royal land/house, that is the the day they will send him packing back to Ile-Ife. After all, Ogiamen's children disrespect their Yoruba benefactors already.

Can you imagine that Ogiamen tried to become Oba! He was soundly rejected, calling on Ife to send their son over.

When are these Bini peasants going to Beni Republic, Sierra Leone, Brazil, Cuba, Jamaica and Trinidad to explain that they are Yoruba too?

Outside Edo propaganda, people want to know which one is Edo, now?

Oh, do you know the Yoruba?

Of course, every lierate person know the Yoruba.

Well, we the Edo are their big brother.

What?

We are their father.

Say what? What do you mean?

Long story. You see .........

Please shut the heck up!

I feel sorry for these Edo guys always looking for relevance by fabricating ancient history. Yet, no historian recognize them as a separate entity from Yoruba outside the country.

They even try to claim Benin Republic. Unfortunately for them, the closest relatives those ones claim affinity with are Yoruba.

Do they speak Edo there or anywhere inside or outside Africa?

Pity, keep beating your chests like local champions that you are.

This guy is a riot.

Anyone that wants to laugh, these guys will make your day. They are so funny, I think they will make money as commedians.

It should be clear now to everyone that they are jokers. They know very well that they are just a branch of Yoruba Iroko tree.

davidnazee:
I’m saying this just to prove to u that Edo gave Yoruba Ogun and Olokun.

Bini peasants, those of you who could not even go near the Oba palace where the lingua franca is Yoruba, their names Yoruba, their gods Yoruba and their pride is based on Oba, have the audacity to be looking up to us calling us names, please I am not getting into street fight with you. Find your level.

Point of correction:

For the record, I mistakenly stated Ile-Oluji. It should be Idanre!

Go to Idanre, the sight alone will mesmerize anyone.

The problem with Bini peasants is that they lack knowledge and totally ignorant of Yoruba history. They only make up and fabricate stories day by day.

Now they want me to teach them about Sugbon Eredo that existed before Oba you begged for from Ife civilized you.

Another Yoruba dynasty older than Bini is the mountain in Ile-Oluji where mountain was caved into tall building before Europeans built stairs.

Research is easier these days my friends.

Sometime I wonder if it's worth it arguing with this usurpers.

Ife is too ancient to compare to Bini, the name given to you by the same Ife.

You guys should try a more recent Sugbon Eredo and compare Bini's age, space and class. These guys are descendants of peasants used by Yoruba Oba for dirty jobs.

I cannot imagine a Bini royal blood with Yoruba name up to present arguing against or pointing left finger to his father's house.

This people are commedians honestly.

Imagine anyone disputing the greatest culture, arts and antifacts dating back to over 10,000 before Christ.

If this culture was not spread beyond Nigeria into other African countries, Europe and America; these midgets standing on the shoulder of Giants would be shouting they could see further than the giants.

This deceptive culture is what is killing arts and science in Nigeria. Every discovery, invention and skill are not trusted by international community, just because of people like these.

Bini e-warriors might succeed with lesser cultures, not the Oba culture from Yoruba that propelled into prominence.

Whenever I want to laugh and relax, the defenders of Oba Bini that felt slighted when he attended the usual meetings of Yoruba; always do it.

They are so confused in their revised history from 2003 based on a book that they make many of us laugh.

It may be better to come together, solidify a rich culture celebrated all over the world.

A country without shame or conscience. Yet there are innocent poor people in that God forsaken country.

She can go to blazes.

Plateau massacre: Our hearts bleed – SMBLF
LAUDS INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY FOR STANDING BY NIGERIA IN DARK HOURS
Bola Badmus - Lagos Top News

Plateau Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF) said on Monday that it’s hearts bleed over the loss of lives in hundreds in Plateau State following terror attack visited on innocent souls by violent Fulani herdsmen.

The SMBLF declared that the forum was full of rage over what it termed “official irresponsibility the Presidency has displayed over this carnage” in many ways.

SMBLF said this in a communique it issued after its meeting at the weekend in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and made available to the Nigerian Tribune in Lagos.

SMBLF noted that follow-up to that “insensitivity” was the declaration made in Jos, the Plateau State capital by President Muhammadu Buhari that the number of deaths in Zamfara was more than one that occurred in Benue and Plateau states put together.

It said this remark had made Nigerians, besides seeing such as sign of clear failure of leadership, to wonder if President Buhari was the “Statistical General of deaths” and not the Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria, who should ensure deaths do not occur at all.

“Apart from the clear failure of leadership in a country that withdraws $1bn not appropriated to buy fighter jets but whose president asks citizens to pray to God to come and do the job of its Commander-in-Chief, we are full of rage over the official irresponsibility the Presidency has displayed over this carnage in the following ways:

“The Presidency first reaction as dead bodies were still being counted was some noxious narration of how the killings were caused by the missing of 100 cows without any form of regret over the deaths of hundreds of our citizens whose lives would appear to be inferior to those of cows in the estimation of highest authorities in the land.

According to the communique signed by Yinka Odumakin for South- West, Senator Bassey Henshaw (South- South), Prof Chigozie Ogbu (South- East) and Isuwa Dogo (Middle- Belt), the leaders, while expressing rage over the loss of lives in hundreds in a manner they considered the most barbaric and cruel, decried the presidency’s first reaction, which they said amounted to seeing human lives as being inferior to those of cows.

SMBLF noted that follow-up to that “insensitivity” was the declaration made in Jos, the Plateau State capital by President Muhammadu Buhari that the number of deaths in Zamfara was more than one that occurred in Benue and Plateau states put together.

It said this remark had made Nigerians, besides seeing such as sign of clear failure of leadership, to wonder if President Buhari was the “Statistical General of deaths” and not the Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria, who should ensure deaths do not occur at all.

“The follow-up to this ranking insensitivity was the declaration in Jos by Mr President that the number of deaths in Zamfara is more than Benue and Plateau put together making Nigerians to wonder if he was the Statistical General of deaths and not the commander-in-chief who should ensure deaths do not occur at all.

The leaders reiterated that all these poor attitudes put together were indications that the country had a “government totally drained of emotions” and one that sees the “deaths of Nigerians only in numbers.”

The leaders, however, expressed appreciation to the rest of the world, saying the country is consoled that in Nigeria’s darkest hours, the world did not turn its eyes away as evil marches over her soul.


“We have taken notes of the concerns expressed over the killings in Nigeria by Amnesty International, United Nations and the British Parliament.

President Donald Trump of America did also not mince words with President Buhari when he visited the US recently. We thank them all for not siding with murderers and terrorists even if the Nigerian authorities treat them with kid gloves,” the Forum said.

SMBLF, therefore, charges Nigerians not to give up, saying that evil was only doing overtime to beat them to submission, even as it reminded that the country’s history was replete with moments like it was currently passing through but which did not last forever.

Hey boy, I told you to lecture your appendages, I do not belong to the same pedestrian level as you guys, that is why I stayed back and watch Bini that were ruled over and that worship their ruling house, make a fool of themselves about subject taught in elementary schools to most Nigerians. If you belong to the ruling House, you will have a Yoruba name and god to worship.

Turn Iwo Eleru to whaever you want, as usual.

You need to lecture your fellow Bini appendages that think Iwo Eleru is oral tradition.

When Ooni told you Ife is older than Adam and Eve or might have come from there, he was not joking.

The same way you guys shot wide and wild on Oduduwa that was way before Christ.

A liar has no memory, no history, no facts but make up stories as the go along.

So Iwo Eleru is not Bini predecesor, eh? You are not part of man prehistory, Bini existed before man! Odesons!

davidnazee:
What do you know about the Iwo Eleru or the conclusion the white scientist made about the Iwo Eleru skull? They found a skull believed to be 13,000 years old and after analyzing the skull they decided that early inhabitants of that area where the skull came from where not humans, rather more like apes.. So I guess you can be proud that your ancestors are confirmed apes and monkeys..

Also having the oldest artifact doesn't mean you are greater or more civilized than other races or kingdoms around you.. There are artifacts older than British Empire but yet it was one of the greatest empire ever..
If you like continue to claim oldest artifact, it still doesn't change the fact that Benin Kingdom was more powerful and mightier than all your Yoruba kingdoms..
Almost every tribe in Nigeria was influenced by Benin Kingdom, we influence their culture, their monarchies.. How many Yoruba fit influence?
None!!

True tok

Most responsible government would heed warnings and threats before massacre. In 2010, nothing was done to these leaders before their followers went on rampage. It was in the same Jos where military officers disobeyed their superiors that warned them of impeding atrocities that only resulted in probe without any disciplinary punishment for disobeying their superiors regardless of different ethnic groups.

Mind you, it is important to note that Buhari has more Hausa blood in him than Fulani but they won't accept that to raise their privileged status to Dan Fodio. Do not domesticate others to Fulani the way our Hausa brothers and sisters were subdued by Usman and turned against their fellow countrymen.

Using everything you learn from Ife against Ife with your reverse mentality is not going to work, not even on those that had primary school in Nigeria before disgruntled Oba kicked against its own in 2003(?), I think.

What are the oldest artifacts from Igodo abi na Bini sef?

Ever heard of IWO ELERU, 10,000 B.C

gregyboy:
You have said it well ....more than i could i still insit benin taught ife art work they made statue of the chiefs who Benin sent to teach them art work ....benin taughr them art but didn't teach them how to documents with the art and how to cover the art work .... That is d benin man who taught ife art

The End Of One North One Destiny

One North One Destiny may have finally run out its course. This killing spree around Plateau region may have dropped the last straw that breaks the camel’s back. Those comparing past massacre to the latest ones in terms of number and gravity, missed one important point: the last straw does not have to be heavier. It is ironic how the religious preachers of moderation or restructuring for the sake of unity of the country faulting Danjuma and Obasanjo warnings have not acknowledge past unproductive prayers.

..........

Buhari, it may be too late. Without North-central, you can forget the presidency. They have carried the One North One Destiny long enough. No other part of the country has been consistently loyal to the North than the Middle Belt. Of course they were rewarded with Gowon as leader and others whose real identities have vacillated intentionally to cement their relationship with the “real” North.

This is why I stay away from this recurring argument that goes in circles.

Whenever an ignorant or slighted Yoruba Oba that points to his father land with his left hand, misstate his importance people like you seize on it to claim history.

If you guys ever went to school, you could have noticed academic proof presented here and other places. But you can't understand them or their significance.

Should I waste my time and ask for evidence about Oba of Bini or Lagos that had to be reminded that his pathernal line was Alagba from Ilesha.

Bini is a branch of a big tree claiming to be its roots. All Nigerians including the Hausa and Sudanese are related. Bini is a tiny part of Yoruba tree spread all over West Africa and the world.

Empty vessels, I have no time for you.

Some of this people taya me I nor go lie.

You bear their names, worship their gods, gave you Ogiso and requested Oba.

Even your own Oba told foreigners he had Oghene nue. Documents older than the vexed Oba that felt he was slighted, started a book contradicting a Bini son respected as the foremost authority worldwide.

Haba, you guys are not tired of revisions and improvisation to fabricate false imagined history to boast your ego.

Just to contradict what most children learned since primary school. People like me ignored your cravings but that is the reason you guys have not disappeared.

The most embarrassed are the prince and princess still bearing Yoruba names and maintain linqua franca passed to them by Yoruba fathers.

FEEDING OUR CHILDREN’s FLESH & BLOOD TO THE LOWEST BIDDERS

It is true that we are only following the examples of our leaders by selling our children’s blood and flesh to the point of no return. Monkey see monkey do. We have lost our moral compass. Sanctity of life is out and lives of the poor and the hungry are no more precious. There is no end in sight to the race to the bottom. Some videos make us cry.

Sometimes we have to ask ourselves tough questions. Parents that think they can escape and encourage or be silent against moral decadence in their countries by sending out their children must hear the pain of older foster kids. The psychological, emotional and physical trauma on foster kids without their parents in sight is underrated in favor of counting on a “better life” in the hands of strangers in a strange land.

One of our childhood friends actually threatened to smuggle himself back home if his rich parents did not send him a return ticket. Since we have discounted our morals, culture and debased our educational system because we can travel out, our countries will continue to pay a heavy price with our youths.

You cannot even call the attention of our youths to immoral turpitude of monetary gains without incurring their wrath or being derided for jealousy. It started from their parents in the days we used to report or threaten wayward students, so that they could sit up. Some of their parents would ask: shey na your money he steal?

Regardless of the ultimate price paid crossing the desert, sea and separation of parents from children; we still take the risk in greater numbers gambling with kids hopelessly alone. What is more dangerous, fighting oppressors at home where we have rights or pawning our children as deadly game abroad without rights?

Any group that think they can overwhelm the border of any country with sympathizers’ demonstration, civil rights advocates and international outcries are only playing into the hands of voters worried that they might lose control of their country. Not even liberals are willing to lose their countries to foreign migrants called “aliens”.

When we blurred the line between economic refugees and asylum seekers, even a country like Canada checked too many Nigerians from crossing into their country. Those who created due process and the rule of law know how to work around it or suspend it by declaring emergency or extenuating circumstances.

Obama was declared the Deporter In Chief for protecting his country's border. All the demonstrations against him, (no matter how much he restrained enforcers in the field that sued him in court for it), only produced hardliners. When we build our country to the point where every black anywhere would be proud to visit and live in an African country, we would not need a visa to visit other countries.

When we start attacking the voice of reason and throw away morals within us by celebrating greed, conspicuous spending and ostentation, we cannot cling onto those that built their own countries patriotically, even at our economic expense.

The message is clean and clear, migrants are not welcomed anywhere, any longer. Each country demonizes migrants as criminals or criminalizes them for even trying to get into their country: as terrorists, drug pushers, rapists and murderers. Regardless of the facts and their local statistics indicating immigrants commit far less crimes than their own citizens. They claim the reason their citizens cannot get jobs is because of cheap labor provided by migrants. Since when have children become job takers and criminals?

Most of these excuses are false but they are as old as a century when the fathers of the present citizens came into the country. We also know that these excuses are not limited to Europe, America or Asia; Africans also victimize one another. In view of these, those that claimed they are desperately being hunted by local gangs, drug lords, children and women abusers out of their countries, are fleeing in greater numbers. No country can absorb all of them, meaning most have to be deported after exhausting their life savings.

It costs a fortune for the poor to fly out to have a baby abroad or pay coyote to be smuggled into Europe and United States. Yet the rich and the wealthy do it in Africa, Middle East and South America. A man wanted advice from a friend on a visit from America. He had been thinking of selling his dump/tipper, firing his driver and other employees so that he could buy a ticket to go abroad. The friend told him if he had a tipper or a house, he would be back home not living in America.

Think about the population of individual countries in Europe compared to the population of a single African country like Nigeria alone. We could overrun each European country if one declared an open border! When we claim that that we cross to escape gang violence, genital mutilation, military and dictators in our countries, (as if Libya is better off today), which country does not have violence?

European and American governments have lost elections because of the admission of migrants. The politicians that are surviving are right-wingers promising to crack down, not only on illegal immigrants but also on future and present legal immigrants. Indeed, frivolous violations as traffic offences are now used to deport legal immigrants. There are those applying for their relatives whose previous submissions have changed or that have violated some minor offenses such as a restraining order from friends or wives. These were used to deport them.

We want to enjoy what their and our people fought and died for without doing the same in our land. We still worship them. When some of us were children, we protested in secondary schools against bad food, political removal of principals or vice-chancellor in university. Newspapers hid jumping from house to house to publish, Banbagida and Abacha were fought to a standstill by NADECO inside and outside the Country. Why are our youths waiting for their ancestors to fight for them?

FEEDING OUR CHILDREN’s FLESH & BLOOD TO THE LOWEST BIDDERS

Farouk Martins Aresa @oomoaresa

It is true that we are only following the examples of our leaders by selling our children’s blood and flesh to the point of no return. Monkey see monkey do. We have lost our moral compass. Sanctity of life is out and lives of the poor and the hungry are no more precious. There is no end in sight to the race to the bottom. Some videos make us cry.

Sometimes we have to ask ourselves tough questions. Parents that think they can escape and encourage or be silent against moral decadence in their countries by sending out their children must hear the pain of older foster kids. The psychological, emotional and physical trauma on foster kids without their parents in sight is underrated in favor of counting on a “better life” in the hands of strangers in a strange land.

One of our childhood friends actually threatened to smuggle himself back home if his rich parents did not send him a return ticket. Since we have discounted our morals, culture and debased our educational system because we can travel out, our countries will continue to pay a heavy price with our youths.

You cannot even call the attention of our youths to immoral turpitude of monetary gains without incurring their wrath or being derided for jealousy. It started from their parents in the days we used to report or threaten wayward students, so that they could sit up. Some of their parents would ask: shey na your money he steal?

Regardless of the ultimate price paid crossing the desert, sea and separation of parents from children; we still take the risk in greater numbers gambling with kids hopelessly alone. What is more dangerous, fighting oppressors at home where we have rights or pawning our children as deadly game abroad without rights?

Any group that think they can overwhelm the border of any country with sympathizers’ demonstration, civil rights advocates and international outcries are only playing into the hands of voters worried that they might lose control of their country. Not even liberals are willing to lose their countries to foreign migrants called “aliens”.
