[b]Aworis Asking All Yorubas To Move To Their States [/b]by macjive01: 10:00pm On Jan 19
Just got a confirmation that the Aworis Youth Mandate under the able leadership of Adekunle bola has asked that all yoruba of non- aworis extraction leeching on their development and resources should start preparing to vacant the state.

he explained that yorubas come to lagos to feast on their resources, contributing absolutely nothing in return.

"an Ekiti from his jungle village will come to Lagos to drag jobs like security and vigilante with locals, so it time to tell them all who are the real owners of Lagos. "

once the permission is sanction there will be a exodus, so it is better they start packing before the time reaches. as the say " a stitch in time saves nine."

This is 21st century, NO TIME FOR PARASITISM !

even the abokis are contributing more than these yorubas, Awori people shall not stand and watch her resources pillaged and ravaged by these ingrates and rascals.

he went on to explain that most crimes in the state are perpetuated by neighboring states especially Ogun people and ijebus.

damm you beat me to it , this is serious

PROUD-IGBO:
^^^Could you explain the 'bitter' part of your post?.....your understanding of my post is that i'm [b]angry [/b]that the service that could have ran from Lagos to Onitsha 'non-stop' is broken at Benin, and you feel i shouldn't ask why there's a need to change trains at Benin?

Dude, do you even know the meaning of 'bitter' as used in this context ?

dont waste your time, you know better .

Sincere 9gerian: The Federal Executive Council yesterday took a major step to ameliorate the transportation challenge in the country as it approved N1.334 billion for the commencement of work on new standard gauge railway lines.
Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, who briefed newsmen, alongside the Minister of Transport, Senator Idris Umar and Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen said the contract is for feasibility studies of five fast train lines across the country.
He said the fast train lines are for Lagos-Osogbo-Abuja (615km), which could be covered within three hours with five stops; Lagos-Shagamu-Benin (300km); Ajaokuta- Obajana-Abuja (533km); Zaria-Sokoto- Illela (520km) and Benin-Onitsha-Aba (500km).

misleading title, we need trains that cut tru all eastern states so you live in owerri, asaba or enugu and do buisness in onithsa aba or ph , plus calabar for relaxation and akwaibom port not one that will link us with yoruba or north .

mekuslogan: We need legislation to eradicate rituals, cannibalism - Erelu Lola Ayonrinde -Raises posers on Oba Funso Adeolu’s corpse

Erelu Tunwase AyonrindeErelu Tunwase of Ode-Remo, Chief Lola Ayonrinde, who is the Otun Iyalode of Shomolu and Lagos District, and also the Yeye Akinrogun of Ikeji-Ile Ijesa was twice Mayor of the London Borough of Wandsworth. She talks to AYO-LAWAL GBENOBA on her campaign against human sacrifice and cannibalism in Nigeria. Excerpts:

WHAT is your campaign all about?
The ‘Say No To Cannibalism In Nigeria’ campaign is aimed towards eradicating the ancient and obnoxious practice of mutilating the bodies of traditional rulers after death. The rituals and sacrifices parts of the body of a dead king, especially in Western Nigeria, are used for are barbaric and a disgrace to the country in this 21st century. The movement is out to stop these evil practices which are not in consonant with the will of God and against the fundamental human rights of the affected traditional rulers. When a king dies, they say they have to give his heart to his successor on the throne to eat. They explained that it will make the new king strong and courageous but, is that not deceit? How can eating somebody’s flesh give courage to another person? They mutilate the remains of these kings and engage in fetish and obnoxious activities which add no value to anybody or the society in general.


Why do you need to feed an incoming royal father with the heart of a dead one? This cannibalism started with Christopher Colombus who believed that when a king ate the heart, or some other parts of a dead ruler, some major attributes of the dead was transferred to the new king. This is sheer cannibalism and has no place with God. And, I want the chiefs, the traditional rulers themselves and other stakeholders to know that any tradition that does not recognise God is doomed. The government must put a stop to this cannibalism going on in some parts of Nigeria because, it is even against the constitution of Nigeria. Section 38 subsection 1 of the Nigerian constitution gives every citizen the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, while section 17 subsection 26 declares that the sanctity of the human person shall be recognised and human dignity shall be maintained and enhanced. Where is the sanctity of the human person in all these? Where is human dignity?


What motivated this campaign?
I was very close to the late Alaye of Ode-Remo, Oba Funso Adeolu, the popular Chief Eleyinmi of the rested Village Headmaster soap opera. Few months after his death on August 21, 2008, he started appearing to me and I had months of traumatic haunting. In his lifetime, Oba Adeolu was a Christian and he made it known that he did not partake in anything fetish during his installation as king. He explicitly, several times, demanded that when death came calling, his corpse should be handed over to his family so that he could be given a proper Christian burial. However, his corpse was not released to the family. After his death, he appeared to me several times, and kept telling me about many things. He said his corpse was handed over to the ‘odis’ (slaves) who treated it like that of a criminal. They took bits and pieces of his remains for their own use while some parts were distributed to the four corners of the town.


It was while going round that I discovered what happened and[b] I met some chiefs who confessed what happened but asked me to forget it because there was nothing we could do about it. [/b]

All the ‘odus’ of Ifa do not approve using human beings as sacrifice, the constitution does not approve and to crown it all, God Almighty frowns at this practice, they are doing it to appease whom? Some of the kings today are enlightened and those who are born again Christians, like Oba Adeolu, are renouncing these things. So, why hold on to an obnoxious and barbaric act? Oba Adeolu believed he would be given a decent burial and that is why his ghost has refused to rest. Even in Ijebuland, these things were abolished years ago and Ijebuland under the Awujale agreed they would bury kings according to their religion.


So, how do you hope to stop the practice?
We are canvassing that our traditional rulers should be buried whole, without being mutilated and it should be in the open. There is secrecy because of the evils attached. It is untenable scientifically that the heart is eaten for so and so reasons. To start with, let us have the installation of kings in the open, no aspect of the installation should be shrouded in secrecy. It should be a celebration of our culture so, why should it be shrouded in secrecy? When everything becomes transparent, it will even help younger ones to know more about our culture and we will be able to restore some of our societal values. Why should obas be laid to rest in a paganic manner? If a governor gives staff of office to a king, giving him recognition and authority, that king is under the governor so, why should the government condone barbarism in this age? The ministry of local government and chieftaincy affairs should do something about this, if not, the government is endorsing cannibalism. True that some of the kings went through these rituals during installation but those who opted out should be given that grace of opting out of the rituals in death. They should be buried according to their faith. The practice is a disgrace to the whole of South West because it is common there.


We are appealing to the traditional rulers who were installed through cannibalism to renounce it publicly and declare they don’t want their hearts to be eaten or other parts of their bodies to be used for any form of ritual. Abolition of slave trade took place years ago. So, why do we still have some people in Ode calling themselves slaves (‘odis’)? We need legislation to stop the barbaric act and we are appealing to our lawmakers to rise up to this task of eradicating cannibalism in Nigeria. There should be a law backing a king to opt out of fetish installation and burial and it should become an offence for anyone to tamper with the remains of a king, for whatever purpose, or to give the body to the ‘odi’ for rituals. The penalty should be without an option of fine so that the perpetrators would know how grave the offence is. The ‘odi’ in Ode can be given money to buy goat, ram, cow, or whatever they need for sacrifice, if they must, but there must be total abolition of human sacrifice in the country. Efforts are being made by some Ogun State traditional rulers to stop it but some feel the fetish practice must be protected. The government must detach itself from it.


Internationally, human sacrifice, cannibalism, witchcraft and sorcery are illegal so, why should it be done with impunity in Nigeria, a country that is known as the giant of Africa? Infact, politicians should begin to include the abolition of cannibalism in their campaign programmes, and party manifestos by 2010.


What efforts have you made so far to network and get people involved?
We give glory to Almighty God. I have spoken to so many kings who secretly don’t want it and we are telling them that they should make an open declaration against these evil practices. The campaign would be boosted if they do because people believe they all knew and agreed to these evil practices before being installed. We now call on the royal fathers again, in the name of Almighty God, to declare publicly that they don’t want these fetish practices to continue. I have carried the campaign to the international level so that Nigerians of affluence who are in diaspora would lobby the lawmakers and get a legal backing for the campaign to eradicate human sacrifice and cannibalism in Nigeria. A number of international media like the BBC have aired my interview on the campaign and some Nigerian people abroad are involved in the lobbying for a legislation to stop the obnoxious practices.


We call on the ‘oluwos’ and ‘odis’ in Ode to review the entrenched ill that has no value to the society. We appeal to them to accept cows and goats and allow our royal fathers to be buried according to their beliefs. Then, it was about time that the royal fathers are constituted into the House of Royals, like the House of Lords, so that they would have more power, say and patnership in governance. This would help them to contribute meaningfully to issues affecting them and the society at large.

disgusting

Dudu_Negro: All Local Governments, Wards, State Assembly members, House Reps and Senators,.......Obas, Baales, Chiefs.....of LagosState all follow the line of Ruling Class descendancy I already outlined.

If you are not represented in that Ruling Class, then you do not own Lagos, and you are thetefore an immigrant or a refugee.

Migrant groups are those who in appreciation of their contributions have received recognitions symbolized by creation of new wards by the Council of Obas in Lagos (the stewards of Customary Laws) to give them representation and voice in royal courts.

Refugee groups are those whose presence is not allied on cultural exchange and are in existence on the land as beneficiaries of Constitutional law. The Customary Law does not have provisions nor doesit recognise this class of citizens.

so your a refugee in portharcourt and in lagos too since your not from lagos? olodo ,stop eating oily soup its bad for your brain. the population of the indegens of lagos is not even up to 2 million out of almost 20 million people that reside there, so in your amala and ewedu brain the other 18 million are refugees including the yorubas?? the earlier you stop displaying your stupidity the better for you .

omoolutl: so u r a refugee and ur war-torn (considering the fact that u called urself a refugee) igbo region is nt getting better? Y nt stay in d east and try to make it as great as Lagos

shut up monkey , it is the oil from the east that is feeding you and your family in that slum call lagos, i wonder what people are ven looking for in that slum. the day tha oil handout stops coming you will see what suffering is.

Dudu_Negro: We have voters registration list and we have census list. If you are not a descent of Oduduwa,, then you must be a descent of Bayajidda and Fodio and El Kanemi......but if your ancestry is untraceable....then your classification in Lagos is that of a refugee. All refugees in Yorubaland will be properly identified and tagged in our records.

so why is he also deporting descendants of oduduwa back to their ogun and osun villages.

Paul John: I was in Abuja of recent, the Abuja-Lokoja xpress is not so much in progress. It was halted due to rainy season factor. Do want to tell me those contractors don't know what's best for their work?
NB: it's a federal road

exactly the same with ore road and ibadan lagos road, what do all these roads have in common with osun , they are all scams. how come the roads inside abuja city and enugu , akwaibom, calabar, owerri etc are perfect?

they played the same politics with onitsha owerri road for over 8 years , the same raining dry season excuse .

[size=20pt]The study conducted in Oyo and Osun states in liasion with a non-governmental organisation showed that 80 per cent of girls in south west, before attaining age 18, experience intimate violence and abuse while 31 per cent of girls experience intimate violence and abuse before age 13.
“The assailants who attacked the respondents were their relatives, a few; teachers and religious leaders; family friends, neighbours and male friends

yoruba babarians, look at the pain and shame you are causing to your women thats why they cant stand even a year with you in marriage.

funny thread, massive indeed

dayokanu: But this year alone we have heard earthshaking testimonies from Alayibo on how the men there do women

First the ABSU 5 which was met with a nationwide outrage

late the Cynthia case

Later the case of Old women

that is because such things dont happen in igboland so any single case will be dealt with because we igbos dont tolerate rubbish but its soo common in yorubaland that its now a normal thing just like corruption. how else do you explain 80 percent of women being raped by their men and nobody cares, its either its normal there or your women are not worth fghting for and defending, even south africa cant boast of 5 percent rape talkless of 80 percent child rape.
