Obasa became Nza the bird that challenged his chi to a wrestling match after eating a heavy meal.

blueray please interpret this for me
this came out of nowhere

He's gone!

I read that this December while Tinubu was around the members of GAC raised the issue of how Obasa has disrespected Sanwoolu and challenged him openly over and over again. You remember the comments he made about he being qualified to become the governor when Sanwoolu went to present the budget? Most people felt those comments were totally unnecessary .

It was a case of Obasa over playing his hand. He also wanted them to sack the LASIEC chairman for reasons best known to him.

They said Tinubu was not happy with him and gave him a tongue lashing in the presence of the GAC members. They said after the meeting Obasa wanted to have a one-on-one talk with Tinubu but unfortunately for him he wasn't granted time alone with Tinubu. couple of GAC members joined the meeting and Obasa was still condemned.

Tinubu concluded the meeting by saying he knew what to do on the matter and would do so when the time comes. I guess this is it.

Is this not what I’ve been saying all along? The “chiefs” (or as I call them, land grabbers) have been selling off our lands. But do they actually own these lands? It seems as if it is only the "chiefs" have ancestral land, while ordinary people like us fell from heaven without forefathers or ancestors who possessed land. This cycle repeats itself season after season.

I’m familiar with these individuals, and I know what I’m saying. Some of their children are our friends, and I know a chief who has benefited from the royalties of land sales multiple times, despite having no real connection to the land. Not once, not twice, but on several occasions year in year out. I don’t want to say too much because someone might recognize me from this moniker.

Let me share a story (though I won’t go into too much detail). In October 2020, a Chinese company wanted to purchase land in the Simawa area. However, they insisted on meeting all the family members involved before proceeding with the purchase.

So, these individuals scrambled to find people to stand on a piece of land, pose with an elderly person bearing one of the ancient surnames, take pictures, and then collect the money. Although the share that was given to them was insignificantly small, it was still “free money.” It was a sham, and I witnessed it firsthand.

This raises a critical question, if the property is genuinely yours, why would you need to find people to share the money with? Wouldn’t you be the sole beneficiary of the sale? The fact that they’re searching for people to fill gaps for non-existent "families" suggests that the ownership is questionable, and they’re trying to fabricate legitimacy.

The question again, why only the "chiefs" always have land to sell?

The point u are failing to understand is that there are usually original first settlers in each communities. Those first settlers usually have an extended family who will later become landowners and possibly document their title of ownership of the land with government.

When such areas start getting developed, the families of the first settlers will then start selling lands to anybody that cares to buy.

What u narrated in ur story about the chief getting people to pose as family members just sounds as the particular chief trying to outsmart other family members by selling part of the land that belongs to the whole family without carrying them along. It does not in any way mean he's grabbing land that has no owner.

As regards ur question as to why is it that only chiefs have land to sell? The answer is very simple; Most of the first original settlers in a community always end up having chieftaincy/royalty in their lineage. I mean my great great grandfather might be the first settler in Ojo and he was a high chief during his lifetime. Definitely that chiefdom will remain in our family, my great grandfather, my grandfather, my father and possibly my elder brother will be high chiefs as well.

You really not to stop believing that people just wake one day, point out to hectares of land and claim it as theirs. You need to let it go.

Make una see this picture, how is he not looking like junkie

He's actually not. It is the Tattoo and taking off his moustache that makes him look different.

Look at the attached album art, u will see that there isn't much difference with the recent picture Ibime posted bar more facial tattoo and the moustache shaved off.

Shegzdave:
The face tattoo made him look like a junkie, he looks younger no lies

Most likely the face tattoo is his own way of rebranding.
I don't think he will look like a junkie within the space of 2 to 3 months when he was last seen performing at shows.

I think people just have a pre-meditated bias that he is likely going through a lot and that bias is what is making people think of him as being different beyond the face tattoo he got recently..

Amigoss:
Omo,I no dey see wetin Una dey see ooo...Aside the face tattoo which is a turn off,Baba now looks fresher and younger no be as e gather moustache like idin amin before...

Me too, I just feel he changed his looks by cutting off his dreads and adding so many tattoos to his body.

It's only normal for him to look different. I don't really see any effect of drug like they are seeing o

in the war of the worlds - the seminal alien invasion story

aliens came to England from mars. superior fire power and human beings were completely outgunned. the aliens however stopped fighting because they had no immune systems and they basically died

maybe that was a metaphor for the malaria we were discussing. because if not for malaria - it is likely we would have been like SA today - natives on the reservation

In fact, I think if it were not for tropical diseases and sicknesses maybe most of Africal would've been sacked by the white man when they came to Africa.

I believe sicknesses like Malaria and advancement in medical science happening much later is the only reason why most of the white colonialists didn't move their people enmass to Africa and displace our forefathers. If it were to be now that they had already advanced in science and know how to live with some of those diseases native to Africa, they would've sacked our forefathers and take over their lands considering how Africa is blessed with natural resources.

GloriousGbola:
this is why typically alien invasion movies show advanved aliens as only after resources, the rights of the owners be damned

because that is the way of human beings - chance anyone who is less advanced than you.

Exactly what happened in the series. The white man took the Indian's lands simply because they have the firepower to do so.

That was why the Marmot governor had to pay Bridger off because he was uncomfortable with Bridger making guns available to some of the Indians who were with him at Fort Bridger. He knew sooner or later the Indians will know their way around guns and they will come for his Marmot community he was building.

Including the savages slaughtering women, they would have killed abish but because she showed courage
There are good native people and there are also good white, the white attacking first might be retaliation
If you remember the momonth church story they claimed their land was taken from them that's why they defend where they are with force that led to the attack on abish community

The Indians slaughtered the whites because they invaded their lands first. If u follow the conversation of Red feather's mother u will hear her saying there used to be so many of them Indians in all the valleys around there till the white men came to kill and destroy.
The ones that didn't die in the hands of the white man died from diseases.

For every action, there will always be a reaction. That one is normal and has nothing to do with education.

If the white expansionists had stayed off their lands, the Indians would not leave their communities, travel thousands of miles to go kill the white man. The Indians naturally do not have anything against the white man because they don't even venture outside their own tribes. It was the white man that left his own part of the world to invade the Indian's world and ravaged their lands. It is the white man that coveted what the Indians have and not the other way round.

Congratulations to the new Iku baba yeye. May his reign be peaceful and may he live long like his forefathers.

As for those making noise on social media and making a case for the other prince; they can continue to pay homage to him on their respective twitter account.

Some set of Arsenal fans are just too dirty. Why will you pray for someone to have a miscarriage?
Kai missed chance yesterday, yes but who missed the biggest chance yesterday? Your Captain! Why praying that his wife should miscarry her pregnancy?

That's disgusting

Some people take things too serious than is necessary. People like that just have a black heart and nothing else.

When I see people going all toxic like that supporting big teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd,etc; I wonder what such people will do if they were actually supporting clubs like Bolton, Portsmouth, Blackburn, etc. that were doing well in the league before getting relegated. Maybe such persons would've killed the entire club management, players and coaches for daring to relegate.

People just carry their personal bitterness enter sports and the teams they support.

iamoyindamola:
That's where education comes place and I also stated they don't fancy development
I never said what the whites did was good or bad I am giving reasons why they eventually lost all their lands to the white

They are educated in their own way now. The whiteman's way is not the only way to get educated.

If they are not educated, they will not have their own war strategies. If they are note educated, they will not know about the principle of negotiation and exploring every peaceful means before going to war. You remember the red feather had to go negotiate with the Army captain .

In fact, the Indians behaved in a more educated way than the whites who were all about violence at every instance.

If u follow the conversation between red feather's mum and Abish; she asked Abish why she thinks her people always choose violence at every instance and Abish said she beleives it is out of fear of what they don't know.

The way I see it, the Indians are not opposed to development at all. The issue is the white man didn't come to them to propagate development, instead the white man came to steal their land , kill them and then develop their lands after allowing their bodies to rotten in the soil. That's not how to sell development to a people.

mostob:
Yes o.

For his peace of mind, he should leave too. Edu was smart to leave.

When he said that the decision to buy is out of his hands yesterday, I just felt for him.

He should go o.

Make the Girona coach come carry us collect UCL and EPL ba?

iamoyindamola:
The Indians owing America might be true, but they are not educated, don't want development and the major reason I feel they lost the land is their tribes don't agree instead they kill each other

What do u mean by they are not educated?

They actually don't need to subscribe to the white man's way of doing things before they can be regarded as normal human beings.

If anything, the series showed the injustice the white men did to the native Indians killing them and taking over their lands just because the white man feels like expanding without caring about the original natives of the Land.

If there were to be justice in this world, the white men should be made to pay for all the atrocities they've committed in a bid to dominate people of other races. It was the same thing they did in Africa.

The Indians lost their lands because the White men had superior firepower and not because they were savages and "uneducated".

Raya needs to watch the PK highlight of yesterday's match, surrender himself at Kuje and tell them to lock him up. Wtf was that?

Man to man, Arteta should resign. He should copy Edu and leave this club.

RDZ, Dyche and that Girona coach will definitely take us to the next level.

I will be there !

Blueraydick, raumdeuter
Go watch American primeval it's a western setting

This was a good watch . Everything about it was so on point , I believe it should get more hype than it's currently getting.

Havertz the accursed player

Martinelli , Odegaard , Havertz and Merino are the players responsible for what this match turned out to be .

Shegzdave:
Chief you can do the job also nah

That’s exactly what I did pointing that out

Nobody go call Partey out for the rubbish he did there o

Martinelli is just useless in this game

iamoyindamola:
So I should listen to commentator over ball me sef they watch

If u are watching the ball and u no see wetin sterling Dey play ……. The only thing I can say is IT IS WELL .

iamoyindamola:
Okay after that nko
What did he do

If u listen to the commentator , u would’ve heard him praising sterling and suggesting that it seems Sterling’s switch has suddenly been turned on.

He’s playing really well , I don’t know why u have chosen not to see it.

If a player is doing well , it won’t cost u anything to acknowledge it

iamoyindamola:
Bros leave that talk
It wasn't a PK we were fortunate

Ref say na penalty , but make I listen to u say no be penalty ? As how ?

Shegzdave:
I didn’t expect much from Martinelli

But u expect so much from Sterling that doesn’t even start for us ?

iamoyindamola:
Make sterling sef busy we wan to see something

He’s the one that was busy and led to the penalty Odegaard didn’t score .

What did Martinelli do in this match that has been productive ?

Martinelli that gets most of the ball and forms busy doing nothing una no call am out , na sterling wey enter wey Dey ginger una wan dey pour anger on.

Unlimited22:
Oya nau

Bad officiating go reach everybody. Na here we dey.
