A slave name for a cultural heritage?

Non-European but named John Randle?

John Randle ---- Yoruba Culture and heritage?



A good initiative with the wrongest of all names ever!

You didn't the part that says John Randle was a Siera loenian who unconsciously laid the foundation of what you have there today by building a swimming pool that saved many lagosians from drowning.

Yorubas appreciate with posthumous reference not bending history with slide tackle or scissors kick

Sincerely Nigerian government is not treating the south east well.

South East deserves better.

Xyronnx99:
But i think this one is correct

it's pronounced as O-U-T,
but some people do pronounce it as A-T which is not right.

It is pronounced as hou se but without se as in hout. Diphthong /àụ/ plus consonant/t/. /àụt/

Out. As in where is the "a"

All these miscreants have spoilt everywhere.

So, Eleanor is an English name. I'd thought the name is native to Isoko/Urhobo.

Sorry for your loss. May God comfort you

Chaiii. I think this will mostly affect science students.

I learnt the calculation was too much but were given 2hrs only to answer 200 questions. 80 English, 40 for mathematics, physics and Chemistry. Wetin you expect?

Anyway, this will reflect the true capability of each students.

Some students will still answer them under an hour while some will spend 24hours and still fail

EleventhWeirdo:
Good. Now, Government should remodel our polytechnics as technical training institutes for certificated courses like modern welding technology, construction designs and carpentry, automotive repairs and product management. And Government should fund the training institutes heavily. These courses can take our young population to Europe and Dubai to make money. We should forego empty paper qualifications and only professional courses like Medicine, law, pharmacy etc. should be taken at government universities. Trust me, we will say bye bye to graduate unemployment in 10 years to come.

The guys are on fire these days. Kudos to the information age

which fire? This is poor

lol you forgot my Nigerian passport would take me to some other countries too.
50m is less than 50k dollars while average job is around 70k a year so na small money and if you want to do international business then you must travel just like most Nigerian millionaires and billionaires, you have no choice unless you don’t want to increase the money

50m on traveling for a started is as good as crippling the business except one decided to cut corners and dabbles into fraud. The business must have mature with enviable return on investment before one can think of splashing 50m Nigeria currency on traveling probably to negotiate other businesses

Except one is going there permanently. Are you saying an average job over there is 70k dollars a years? If true,, it's a good one considering the exchange rates. Give or take, one should be able to save 30k dollars a year.

Can you highlight some international business or businesses one can undertake successfully?

chnnmfl:
I read somewhere that during British Colonialism in Nigeria, the Brits prefers sleeping with Igbo and calabar women due to them being neater than others, that that's the reason why there are many fair skinned people among Igbos.

I wanted to believe it but then I remembered these Igbo surnames:

1. Okorocha: White skinned young man.

2. Nwokeocha: White skinned man.

3. Okocha: Fair complexioned male child.

These names predates colonialism in igboland. The names have been in existence before the coming of Britain.

These igbo men below have both igbo parents and grandparents. I delerately left out the women, I don't want to mistakely include bleached skins.

1. Anambra Music, Phyno

2. Imo State Actor, Mike Godson
3. Abia State House Of Rep Member, Alex Ikwechegh

What do think about it?

Igbo women have been prostituting from time immemorial going by your narratives.

Oyibo people just dey fvck them anyhow. What a cheap sluts

Hehehe someone who can enter 198 countries without visa that you called second class citizen
Can you travel to Dubai even if you have 50m today? The joke is on you bro
I run IT trainings incase you want to help your life and spend less time online

I98 countries? I know there are 195 countries in the world. Where did the remaining 3 comes from Mr. IT guru?

So, if I joined your IT training I will spend less time online. What am I going to be learning with, infrared or Bluetooth?

Why would I fathom spending 50m on traveling?

Anambra land don finish

Earthquakes:
Hahahaha you see how you think right
Joblessness and unexposure is a disease, so you think everyone here doesn’t have jobs like you?
I live in Canada (6hrs timezone difference), I have 2 IT jobs that one of them; two weeks salary will change your entire life. That is why I say this is faceless forum where you have opportunity to insult people you naturally beg food in real life
Enjoy my morning view, even my wife’s dog has more life expectancy than you

It's not everybody that's jobless like you o second class citizen. You even know the meaning of IT? Enjoy the Canada in your head. Everybody is not opportunist.

Earthquakes:
Hehehe that is where you have power, in a faceless forum but in reality you would be asking me for a job in real life. Hungry mofo exchanging words with his landlord

Who dashed you food and data? You are responding to message of 5days ago. Hunger is surely dragging what's left of your miserable life with you.

Broke cretin. You can't even afford data to keep up

Confirm4real:
It showed how stupid and illiterate you are by tagging everyone an obedient whereas so many people contested for president.

Obi can never be president. You can take that to your grave. E sure pass death

Confirm4real:
So only Peter Obi contested for presidency abi, that's how ignorant you are. Anybody that's not supporting the drug Lord is tagged an obedient...

Not only that, there is this word salad and stupidity that goes with them. You manifested both

When the Central Bank of Nigeria relocated some departments to Lagos, there was an uproar on social media. Tinubu wants to move everything to Yorubaland.

But now that the Nigerian Navy is moving its training base headquarters from Lagos to Onne, in Rivers State, there is silence online. Nobody is saying that the Chief of Naval Staff, who is from Enugu, is moving that critical infrastructure closer to his region. And that is the right thing to do. Onne is a better location for the navy.

Please note that the Naval Training Command headquarters is a more significant infrastructure, and has more human resources than the departments of the CBN that moved to Lagos.

Recall that some individuals tried to pull off a Yoruba nation agitation in Ibadan a few weeks ago, look at how their own Yoruba kith and kin clinically dealt with them. And not even by the Federal Government, but by the Oyo State Government, which is in opposition to the Federal Government. Elsewhere, secessionists are protected, and even celebrated by the local population, and the State Governments look the other way.

One man even boasted that, “They are not terrorists. I meet them and live with them.” Please note that this is a direct quote.

Let us learn to imbibe the tolerance of the Yoruba, and Nigeria will go well.

The Omoluabi culture of tolerance stems from their culture, not from their DNA, so it is something all of us can also learn. It a not a racial trait, like their ability to have more twin births than any group on Earth.

It is built on two platforms. Iwa, which means moral character (Omoluabi actually is short for Omo-ti-Olu Iwa-bi, meaning children that the Lord of moral character gave birth to).

The second platform is Ebi, meaning family. Omoluabi Yoruba are taught to uphold fraternal relations above money and power. And not just among Omoluabi, but with all peoples.

That is why, for example, Colonel Fajuyi rejected the offer to surrender Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi to rebellious Northern officers, and replace him as Military Head of State. He voluntarily chose to follow Ironsi to his death. That is a combination of the Iwa and Ebi ethos.

And it continued even after Fajuyi’s death. How?

After Ironsi and Fajuyi’s death, Fajuyi’s successor as Military Governor of the Western Region, Adeyinka Adebayo, looked after Ironsi’s children, who lived with him in his house. I bet you never knew that. Please, fact-check me.

Do you know the most Islamic state in Southern Nigeria? It is not Lagos. Please research it. The state with the highest percentage of Muslims in Southern Nigeria is Osun State.

Yet, the indigenes of that state voted for a man who is both officially a Christian and a Muslim as their Governor. Yes. Please fact-check me. Senator Ademola Adeleke regularly attends church and not so regularly attends mosques. At best, he is a Chrislamist. But officially, he has been tagged as a Christian in certain publications.

So, Osun has a Chrislam Governor, who just happens to be half-Igbo (Senator Adeleke’s mother was Igbo and he was born in Enugu), a Christian Deputy Governor, and a Christian Speaker. Please note that Osun recently changed Speakers, and I do not know the religion of the new Speaker, Prince Adewale Egbedun. But his predecessor, Timothy Owoeye, is a Christian.

Recently, I had cause to defend Chief Eric Umeofia over the attempts by some people to destroy his business, and I cautioned them to understand that he had 4,000 employees. Though this fellow is not from the Southwest, those who led the effort to save his reputation and business are from the Southwest.

This is the type of pan-Nigerian spirit that we can learn from the Yorubas as we all imbibe their Iwa and Ebi ethos.

And nowhere do we see that culture on display better than at Globacom. This is a company wholly owned by an Ijebu man, Dr. Mike Adenuga. Yet, even when there were prominent Ijebu and Yoruba artists who were the biggest singers in Nigeria at that time, Globacom deliberately chose to promote the principle of One Nigeria.

Sunny Ade was there. D-Banj was then the hottest artiste in Nigeria. Paul Play Dairo was at that time ruling the airwaves with Mo Sori Ire.

But Globacom ignored them. The company took a relatively unknown as at then group. They took P-Square, and made them the face of their brand. And they sent them to etiquette school. Glo had P-Square on billboards all over Lagos and Nigeria. You could not go from Ikoyi to Victoria Island without seeing a giant Goo billboard with Nigerian music stars.

Dr. Adenuga bought P-Square their first brand-new Mercedes G-Wagon. Then he bought them brand new Range Rovers.

As Glo ambassadors, P-Square were featured on CNN for the Glo with Pride campaign, which blew them up worldwide. They thereafter bought houses in America, and would have become even more prominent globally, until quarrels over business made the twins separate for almost five years, which affected their fame.

But then there happened to be a quarrel between one of them and Seun Kuti, and in the heat of the moment, Peter Okoya called his own father “a nobody”. Not Seun’s father. Fela was never a nobody. No. Peter Okoye referred to his own father as a nobody.

Such a thing can NEVER happen in Yoruba land. Never a thousand times. And if by mistake a Yoruba man dares do that, the community will beat him to a pulp the way Ibadan people beat the Yoruba nation agitators three weeks ago.

There is nothing wrong with Air Peace using an Isi-Agu costume as the uniform for their flight attendants. I defended them publicly. Please research it. My defence of Air Peace went viral.

But let me say here that if Air Peace had been owned by Dr. Adenuga, they would have taken a different approach.

Happy 71st birthday to one of Nigeria’s most outstanding entrepreneurs ever, bar none. Dr. Mike Adenuga Junior.

Mariangeles:
Fruits are very important, and should be an integral part of our diet because they contain antioxidants which are essential for human health.
Antioxidants mop up free radicals in the body that can damage the body’s cells and lead to diseases, such as cancer.

According to Medical News Today Eating a diet high in fruits (and vegetables) can reduce a person’s risk of developing heart disease, cancer, inflammation, and diabetes.

Citrus fruits (like oranges, lemon, grape fruit, lime...) and berries (like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas) may be especially powerful for preventing disease.

Did you know that Oranges also contain high levels of pectin, which is a fiber that can keep the colon healthy by binding to chemicals that can cause cancer and removing them from the colon?

I read a guy's comment that said he could never buy oranges, mangoes, red apples...with his money, and the comment left me wondering what fruit do you like then? I mean, what more options are there? and that comment led me to create this thread, so that those who don't know, can know the importance of eating fruits.

So guys, what is your favourite fruit?
What is/are the fruit(s) you can't tolerate?

For me, I like variety of fruits, but sweet oranges are my favourite.
I cannot stand cashew! Urgh! I'm allergic.
As for pineapples...let's just say my mouth let's me know when it's had enough.

Nairalanders, what is your favourite fruit?

Breast

19! Is it plane crash? Lord have mercy . This should be treated as a murder case against that Dangote drive because way he won't see the bus coming due the the height of the truck. This is terrible to say the least.
