With their brightly coloured robes, ornate thrones and legions of flunkeys attending every whim, they seem every bit the archetypal African kings. Nigeria's traditional Monarchs may have been stripped of their powers half a century ago, but they appear to have lost little of their regal pomp and splendour as this fascinating series of portraits shows. Photographer George Osodi toured the west African country extensively for a series of photographs entitled 'Kings of Nigeria' which is due to be exhibited at London's Bermondsey Project in October.
As a well-known and celebrated Nigerian photographer, Mr Osodi was granted rare access to the palaces and throne rooms of these hereditary rulers who now serve as living repositories of Nigeria's enormous cultural heritage. He told Al-Jazeera: 'There are frequent clashes among different ethnic groups… Lots of people have lost trust in their identity. I felt it was important that we see this diverse culture as a point of unity instead of seeing it as something that should divide us as a nation.

This is not almost, her 'point guard' is shooking eyes.

Thanks for the responses. Sorry about opening a new thread on an already discussed issue. I tried to scan if I can see a similar thread but I couldn't, that's why I opened this. Anyway, I've done the daily plan, just like I was also advised by one of their customer service agents and it now works perfectly.

I did a subscription of Airtel BIS 1,500 on my HTC Android. When I checked the available gig, I saw 2gigabytes. I was not really pissed with that but what baffled me was that the internet was working at the expense of my credit balance. The data bundle remained intact. I put a call through to the customer care and I was told it CAN NEVER WORK on Android, it is only limited to Blackberry. He advised me to either use the data on blackberry or deactivate my account if it will work. I have tried deactivating and it is not working. I want to know if there is anyone with similar issue and the best way to go about it.

This picture is not complete without Jay-Jay including the year the picture was taken.

So, people can be jobless due to 'extreme beauty'. She should join the nearest Deeper Life Church close to her and see if men don't run away from her.

bootlegaz: Damn!! These picture reminds me of when Nigerian girls used to be Virgin.

On point bro. Those were the period of innocence and decency.

emmysenior: Mr I too know! But the likes of Dan Brown, Chimamanda Ngozi, James Patterson, Soyinka, late Achebe, Mrs Sylvia Day etc. Never wrote in such manner and most people enjoy and understood/understand them.
Nonsense.

Mr I know not! Don't forget those you've mentioned have their individual styles of writing. Why do some of us argue that we prefer reading Chinua Achebe to Wole Soyinka. Moreover, this man has always been doing this for a long time and we should just see it as a part of him.

[quote author=Gen. Orumov]I don't care how you say it, what matters to me is what you're trying to say so How about us that have nothing to do with literaure? Are u implying that we are dunces?[/quote]I'm sorry if what I said was irksome to you. I was only expressing an opinion. If my word annoys you, sorry.

Tweedledum and Tweedledee are fictional characters. Roforofoism is a coined word from roforofo (dirty fight). I like this man because he knows how to play on words. His writings are not meant for dunce, he makes you appreciate literature because literature itself is an advance form of English. He's got poetic license.

This is serious!

Please, I need an urgent way to do this. I have the checker but the JAMB links are not providing adequate access.

The Lagos State Police Command has started
investigation into the murder of a banker,
Adindu Ohamara, who was stabbed to death by
his suspected homosexual lover in Akoka, Bariga
Local Council Development Area of Lagos State.
It was gathered that Ohamara lived in a three-
bedroom flat with his elder sister, Flora and one
Collins, an undergraduate of the University of
Lagos.
According to residents, the banker was stabbed
repeatedly at his residence located at 26
Obayan Street.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Ohamara, who was
believed to be a homosexual, was fond of
bringing different men, who were also believed
to be into same sex relationship, to his home.
It was learnt that trouble started when he
(Ohamara) decided to get married due to
pressure from his family.
A resident, who craved anonymity, said after
the banker had his wedding introduction, a
man, believed to be also a gay came to fight
him.
He said, "A few weeks ago, Ohamara did his
wedding introduction and shortly after that, one
man came to the compound to fight him.There
was a lot of noise over the issue and even
neighbours had to come to settle the matter.
"The unidentified man complained that he had
been jilted and threatened to deal with
Ohamara before he left in anger."
Our correspondent learnt that on April 9, 2013,
the banker returned home with a man, who
allegedly stabbed him at midnight and left.
According to police sources, hours before the
incident, Collins went to Oharama's room where
he met the stranger sitting on Oharama's bed,
discussing with him.
A domestic worker in the house, who craved
anonymity, said he saw the suspect fleeing with
a laptop at midnight.
He said, "It was a Friday evening. Ohamara
came home with the man and they went inside.
I went to sleep but at midnight, I saw the man
carrying a laptop and then he opened the gate
and left. He did not run so I was not suspicious.
"Around 4am, Collins and Flora started shouting
for help. A neighbour came to help them and
they took him into his Toyota Camry and
drove to a hospital."
It was learnt that Ohamara was taken to Jonken
Hospital from where he was referred to the
Lagos University Teaching Hospital Idi Araba
where he was confirmed dead.
The matter, it was learnt, was reported at the
Sabo Police Division but was later referred to the
State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.
Our correspondent, who visited the house on
Monday, learnt that the police later arrested all
the adult occupants of the building, including
the security guard identified only as Kazeem.
The policemen allegedly demanded N350,000
from each of the detained persons before they
could be released.
The landlord of the property, Yemi Oketola, said
the deceased had issued him two post-dated
cheques as payment for his rent.
Oketola on hearing of the arrest of his other
tenants, visited the SCID and appealed to the
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Damilola
Adegbuyi, for their release.
He said, "I do not live in the house but
immediately I got wind of the incident, I went to
the SCID and I met with the DCP in charge. I
complained that a neighbour, who took
Ohamara to the hospital ,was arrested. The
DCP promised that my tenants would be
released.
"When I went to see the Investigating Police
Officer, he informed me that the cost of bailing
each person was N350, 000. I called the DCP
and he was very angry when he heard about
the demand. He said he would make sure that
the tenants were released."
When contacted on the telephone, the
spokesperson for the state police command,
Ngozi Braide, confirmed the murder.
Braide however said she could not confirm if the
deceased was a homosexual or not.
She said, "According to information I got at the
SCID Homicide unit, there are only two suspects
in custody, the deceased's sister (Flora) and the
UNILAG student (Collins). I am not aware of any
other arrests.
"Also, I am not aware of any N350, 000 bail
because bail is free. Investigations are ongoing
and we will get to the bottom of it."
