ezeagu: Okay, If I don't know, why don't you explain. Why can't the issue of the Oba who is already wearing the Oba's full regalia, be the Oba?

Because you know I'm dropping anything for you, I hope you know?

check the pics of the Regent...dats not the main crown....it is the only 1 she's entitled to...browse and see d main crown obas wear especially in coronations
This is not politics where Acting president becomes Presido

ezeagu: As I said before, don't be silly. She's the last Oba's first child and has been instated which means king makers back her. Who's going to take the crown from the Oba's first issue? Stop.

U obviously know nothing abt tradition...if u don't,watch more superstory because the last one had a story of Adele...its a temporary title till a new ruler is installed

ak47mann: Yhe children can be brought up yoruba in some extent but their father will make sure that igbo culture sink inside them....

Lol...ur propaganda too much....what's it wt dis igbo ish.....

ezeagu: Don't be silly.

He's not silly, dats d fact.....they're no entitled to d throne especially an important one like d Deji

[quote author=How Far?]I think the Ibos should do what the hausa/fulanis did in Ilorin. She should keep the title because the yorubas enjoy being dominated. If the hausas can do it why not the ibos? I'll be in the sw soon to collect my title as well, fukk it.[/quote]Fool....omo ale jatijati.....oya com dominate

masseratti: Do you guys understand what a regent mean?
Na wa ooo
Its a good and beautiful thing when to culture,tribe,ethnic group intermarry,but their children can not be heir to the throne,she is a regent,called Adele in yorubaland,not an Oba.

What the heck is an Igbo citizen?is Ig I a country,nation or a state?

Do they teach you guys how to spin stories or what ?

Wagbayi jare......help me tell dem o.....he even claims she's d 1st in history or so....her kids will neva be more dan princes

ezeagu: Even though their father may be Igbo, I believe they may be brought up Yoruba. And I'm not sure if she's the first Oba.

She's definitely not d 1st Regent...don't mind the guy....Ijebu had a female Regent too in history

ak47mann: Her name Mrs Dike a Princess in Akure. Her Children will now become Prince even though they are Igbo.

They are princes only by title....they won't be installed kings.....

ak47mann: Mrs Dike an Igbo Citizen by Marriage to become the first Female Oba in Yorubaland! Her First Child an Igbo by Birth(Product of Adetutu Adesida & Mr. Dike) would likely become the Next Oba after the reins of the new Regent

She already had male and female children from Mr. Dike and as customs demands the Children, both of them are Prince and princess and the right for the inheritance of the throne is assured

Tribalistic,aint u?.....she's a Regent,temporary Ruler till som1 takes over and not her sons because they are not frm d town.....guess u don't know Yoruba's follow strict traditions just like every other tribe.....her sons won't be Rulers

Whenever the year comes to an end,everybody (almost) decides to have a resolution due to a contrite/sober heart. How real are this resolutions/revolutions?..90% of this resolutions don't get fulfilled..what's your view about it? Tell us if u've made resolutions for next year

jamace: I am sad that people like you with all your fine grammar still fancy politicians who have no interest of the masses at heart. No wonder professors are bowing to semi-illiterates for crumbs from the table. Why should you be happy with criminals who brought us to this pitiable condition forming another mega party that will finally nail the coffin of Nigeria?. What do you think those in APC have to offer that we have not seen/known?

At this stage, I wish to advise you and other Nigerians who believe in party and not performance to think twice. Nigeria is looking for a leader, not a party.

That's d bullsh1t they sold us wt Jonathan....if APC will offer us chang bring it on......don't go sentimental on us.....party or no party,PDP have wasted 14yrs and gt us no where.....APC states are doing ok so why not give dem d chance...if mtn no work,shey u no go buy glo/airtel ni?

Scripture: Luke 1:26-38
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel
was sent from God to a city of Galilee
named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin
betrothed to a man whose name was
Joseph, of the house of David; and the
virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came
to her and said, "Hail, O favored one, the
Lord is with you!" 29 But she was greatly
troubled at the saying, and considered in
her mind what sort of greeting this might
be. 30 And the angel said to her, "Do not
be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor
with God. 31 And behold, you will
conceive in your womb and bear a son,
and you shall call his name Jesus.......d passage was fulfilled....even d Quran gave respect to Yisa.....
Is 7:14
'Therefore the
Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold,
a virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and shall call his name Imman'u-el.'
Have u seen a virgin giving birth b4,Mary was a rare case......
When God promised abraham dat he'll be d father of all nations;did Abraham giv birth to every1?....no;he had only Isaac bt still it was his fruit God spoke abt......so stop d blasphemy

[quote author=Pregnant Boy!]"All she did was cry her eyes out"- Ill Bliss said this during an interview with Hiphopworld magazine.

Ill Bliss disclosed that Chidinma's alleged sextape got her devastated and she cried bitterly..

He said:

‘I got an e-mail from a blogger one morning saying that ‘your artiste Chidinma has a sex tape out, get in touch with us’ and I called her that morning and told her (Chidinma),’

‘All she did was cry her eyes out, saying ‘I’m only a small girl; I’ve not wronged anybody, why will anyone do this to me?’ He added..

On how the scandal was handled, he said:

"I told her that we will speak when we want to
and it will not be to defend the sex tape issue but to communicate her success. And indeed it worked,’

inteli: An interactive session between members of the House of Representatives Committee on Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on Thursday resulted in exchange of near uncomplimentary remarks by the two parties in the National Assembly complex.

The committee, headed by Abdulmumin Jibrin, which had invited the minister for the session, turned round to walk her out over some differences.

The session was to have Okonjo-Iweala alongside the Accountant-General of the Federation, Jonah Ogunniyi Otunla, give a brief on the state of the economy from January to date.

But upon her appearance before the committee, Okonjo-Iweala told the lawmakers that although she was “feeling sick,” she had to honour their invitation out of respect.

“I must tell you that I’m feeling sick. For the past one week I’ve not had good sleep, so I’m not feeling fine. But I had to come because I respect the parliament and the committee.

“I’ll try my best to respond to your questions as much as possible, and my other colleagues who are also here with me will contribute,” she said.

However, the minister’s explanation seemed not to appease Jibrin and his committee members who, after consultation among themselves, made Jubrin to rule that the committee could not take on the minister immediately.

The prepared document containing the 50 questions that they had for her was then handed over to her and asked to respond in writing within two weeks.

“We’re not insensitive to your situation as human beings, and if you had told us this before now, we would have given you some time. We have 50 questions for you, and we can give you time to respond in writing,” Jibrin said.

Drama however started when the minister insisted that she should be allowed to respond to the questions, saying “since I’m here now, I want to respond to the questions in person”.

But Jibrin simply told her that he had ruled and there was no going back on the matter.

“You should provide written answers within two weeks, and we’ll invite you in January to appear before us. The 50 questions capture all at stake on the state of the economy.”

However, the minister, who had earlier laid the 2014 budget estimate before the House and briefed journalists thereafter said: “I know you have ruled, but you have to hear me out. You haven’t allowed me to say something, and everybody is here seeing what is happening.

“With all due respect, I will not tell your committee that I’m feeling fine when I’m not. We have had good working relationship with your committee; I thought we’ll be treated with courtesy, but the way you’re starting is a bit disturbing,” she said.

This situation forced the committee chairman to practically walk Okonjo-Iweala out of the meeting venue, saying, “You know I have ruled and if you don’t mind please excuse us. Members should stay behind for executive meeting. We don’t want any haphazard answers, so you can go honourable minister”.

Despite this, the minister demanded that the committee should hear her out, stating: “I will manage to answer the questions. I won’t answer you haphazardly. I know my health, and I assure you that I can answer you well along with my other colleagues here”.

This apparently did no go down well with the committee chairman who responded: “I’m sorry Honourable Minister. You can only decide what happens in the Finance Ministry and not in the House”.

Okonjo-Iweala who was not happy with the situation further said: “I have uttermost respect for the committee and expect same from you. I’m a Minister of the Federal Republic. When you invite ministers, you should treat them with respect. We can’t be invited and be abused.”

People are fucking biased...
1) she said she's not been feeling fine and haven't slept; and all dose bullsh1t abt respect to d parliament was uncalled for...she cldav written a letter to them
2)They granted her leave to go relax and answer in 2weeks by wch time she'll be in a better frame of mind; cause no sane man will ask a sick worker sensitive questions
3)If she was ready;she wldnt have brot d whole drama up....it was aimed @ discrediting the work of the committee....it was their job too and she took it for a ride
4)No matter her credentials; they were elected to do their job....she's just a staff that can be fired anytime
She shdav respected that
5)People telling them to be civic....whenever u go for interview;do u give the committee conditions?....u sit till they re thru wt u......

youngprofdguru: I have read with anguish your recent outburst against Catholics. I understand where you are coming from. Life is complex and when we meet with what we don’t understand, it is a lot easier to demonize it, castigate it and even reject it. I am sorry to tell you that none of these will make the Church go away.

Darkness can only be dispelled by light, hatred by love, falsehood by truth. Since it is obvious that your are still in the dark about Catholic doctrines and way of life, I am inviting you to our religious class and I hope in humility you will submit yourself to this process of education so that you will not continue to grope in the darkness of your ignorance.
In the past, the argument was that Catholics don’t read Bible, but that argument has fizzled away when Catholics themselves have risen to the occasion to show that having been instrumental in the collection of the books into the unit we now call Bible, having been blessed with veritable tradition of great men and women who have studied the bible down through the ages, Catholics are indeed well versed in the Bible and probably better grounded than many other people.

The Catholic Church is rooted in the bible so are her doctrines… Mary, that extraordinary creature of God is at the same time the mother of my God and hopefully yours as well. As one Saint puts it, “If Mary is not your mother, then the Devil must be your father”. Do you really count yourself among the generation of people that will call her blessed? (Luke 2 ) Can you be numbered among those who will be privileged to behold Mary as their mother? “Woman, behold your son, Son, behold your mother”

The accusations of Chris Okotie are spurious… “Catholics bow to idols! How many people in his own life has he bowed to? How many people bow to him? Is he worshiping them or do they worship him?

The most outrageous claim is his denial of Jesus in the Eucharist. Thank God he knows that Catholics believe and profess strongly their belief in Jesus in the Eucharist. That belief is not man-made; it is based on Christ’s teaching. For the avoidance of doubt, readers should read John 6 in its entirety. I will give a bit of summary here. “I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh for the life of the world.” Jn 6:51. Later Jesus went on to say that “In all truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.” Jn 6:53 If Pastor Chris does not practice this veritable injunction of Christ, how can he say he is a true Christian? This doctrine and practice that is central to Catholicism has always been a hard teaching, even when Jesus said it, many could not accept it and left him. It seems Pastor Chris is one of those who could not accept the teaching of Jesus. Let him simply go out on his own without leading other astray.

It is therefore imperative for me to invite those who are currently denied the opportunity in their Churches to come to the Catholic Church and see how faithful the Church is to this great teaching of Christ. Christ meant it; the Catholics have celebrated it for more than 2000 years. There is no alternative to it. You are either for Christ or against it. Otherwise, if you deny the practice, then you make Christ a liar.

My dear Pastor Chris, Catholics are destined for heaven for it is their main goal in life…. To know God, to love God, to serve God in this life so as to be happy with him forever in heaven. However based on God’s words, we know some people need purification and trusting in God’s love and mercy, we know these people will not be rejected for all eternity. This is a truth based on God’s word. Please read 1 Cor 3:10-15

By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.

The passage obviously talks about purification that Catholics refer to in the doctrine of purgatory. Even after death, the All-powerful God is still able to save some people. His ways are not our ways. So leave God to be God and do his work. Then in 1 John 5:15-17 we read that some sins do not lead to death and people with these will be saved… of course after purification by God himself.

To the general readers, especially those who attend Pastor Chris’s church read what scripture says “We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. 10 Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. 1 John 5:9-10 do not just believe because Pastor Chris tells u so… search the Scripture and the truth will set you free. God bless you as you make your way back home…to mother Church, the Catholic Church.

I remember during the passover meal wt his disciples;Jesus said 'do this in memory of me'......shows he sanctioned the eucharist....I'm not a catholic bt will be soon cause apart frm been d 1st church;they're well versed in d bible.......u can build ursef up wt d help of a church.....not been fanatics and allowing hatred/self-centred views consume u

texazzpete: Guys, we get it. You're upset that the exploit you've used to use BIS data on your cheap Android phones is being closed by Airtel. You're upset that now, you'll have to start paying for your data bundles like the rest of the populace. Yes, data plans are not cheap.

But please, can you people STFU for once and stop this incessant whining?

The problem is not with Airtel. The problem is that the data plans we have from our carriers are rather expensive, especially on the low end. Instead of making this all about Airtel, take on ALL the carriers and take your complaints to the NCC.

FACT: Airtel Data plans are not more expensive than plans from Etisalat or MTN. Saying you'll break your Airtel line over this is just plain childish. If MTN gives you better service, why not port over with no fuss?


FACT: Complaining here on Nairaland will not change anything. If you really feel aggrieved at this situation, why not tweet at NCC Nigeria (@NgComCommission), for example, to complain about high cost of data plans.

I have zero stake in Airtel. In fact, I ported my Airtel line to Etisalat some months ago thanks to poor internet data speeds in my region. I voted with my Naira. Do the same with minimal fuss if you feel aggrieved.

U make sense bro.....using airtel since 2005 and I've neva regretted it....dey shd stop d whining

Emmyk: So, I decided to lend airtime from airtel network today. I dialled the code. Saw 3 options.

I picked the 1st option (₦50). In my mind, I was like, okay lemme even lend like ₦500.00 from Airtel, I'm going to payback whenever I like, Ah ah! I've tried for this people nau *evil laugh*


I was notified that I have been credited with ₦45.00. Where is the remaining 5naira?

Well, the 5naira is their 'interest', so to say.

No qualms. I said to myself. I tried the step all over to lend another ₦50.00 till I get to ₦500

I was told I have an outstanding 50 that I must pay, before I was allowed to lend again.


Okay. Now I understand the concept. It's incase of an emergency, where you dont have access to buy airtime. That this service is good for you.

Now, the essence of this thread is, I tried calling with my "loan". The call didnt go through (that woman told me my account is too low blah blah blah ), for Airtel and other networks. Text message did not go through as well.

So, what are we expected to do with the airtime

Opera Mini did not even connect. Only 2go and WhatsApp did.

For those old on this service, what do you use the airtime for?

I borrow often and call wt it; so mayb urs is a system probs....its a very good innovation

If u were posted to Ilorin;contact me

GoodlukJonathan: Ijebus are yorubad people and by implication, dunderheads!

They are not Jebusites

U are a fool 4 calling pple stupid names......tribalistic buffoon......GTFOH

shymexx: Not disputing that. However, I'm just alluding to Ijebu history/ancestry and how it has no connection with Oduduwa. I was raised to be Yoruba. But there are tons of Ijebu's out there who don't believe that they're Yoruba. They might be in the minority, however, they also have a right to explore their ancestry. Since everything about the origins of all the ethnic groups in Nigeria is inconclusive. We all know there was no one in present-day Nigeria, during pre-historic times. So where did all these people migrate from?

Also, you and I can't deny the fact that the Ijebu's are the most hated group among Yoruba's by other Yoruba subgroups. Despite being at the forefront of the Yoruba identity in post-colonial Nigeria. So if certain people feel the need to get a different identity - why can't you let them do that? Heck, even Awolowo said he was Ijebu before he became Yoruba because of the hate.

Well spoken;I'm ijebu 1st b4 Yoruba

ladionline: I don't follow 'politico' tradition. Ijebu is of the nexus of Oduduwa. The need to be different is not unconnected to the success of Awo's Egbe omo Oduduwa, which pitch great Ijebu against great Ife by 'lesser' remo (Awo) to Ijebu. The dilema of the time was how these two power blocs will see face to face, after the feud of 19th century, hence the ethical severance you are refering to. Awo differ to Ife in spirit of oneness of all Yoruba.

Awo did not start Ijebu lineage...he was born as 1....we have nothin to do wt ife,google ijebu's history out and see.....yoruba was closest to us so it was easy to adapt our language and way of life
