PoliticsRe: Technology Creating New Generations Of Illiterates In Nigeria – Wole Soyinka by boxypane: 6:07am On Nov 11, 2023
aariwa:
Wole Soyinka, the unofficial spokesman to APC and bola Tinubu, the man that started cultism in Nigerian universities in 1977 that not only killed but continues to kill thousands of youths in our universities. He never condemns bad leadership from corrupt elites but always quick to condemn the youths for reacting to bad leadership which had denied them the basic things their peers in other countries are enjoying
Old tales without water. I'm sure you know the real ideology behind cultism. Just like the Prof said, our youths are busy harnessing the negative sides of the internet when other countries have done better things with it.
Everything nor be hate, let's be neutral.

I remember he met German an American investors in previous summits earlier this year, have you ever heard of even a two penny investment he attracted being discussed in Nigeria?

Everyone is afraid of the criminal background, picture taking is allowed for propaganda purposes. At least he can use it to calm people's nerves as they die of hunger induced by terribly wrong policies.
So just expect them to rush investments ba? How long does it take you to prepare for an exam? These things take time. Try wish your country well.

The reason why most senators cannot do this or something similar or greater is because they are not even educated, talk more of even having aids that will advise them on such.
Constitution has to change, salaries of law makers very reduced. Then we can start talking sincere politics.

Last week I created a thread talking about how my japa plans have been crushed due to the increase in dollar.

Many adviced me to invest in dollar, this was the advice they gave me months ago but I did follow through because I wasn't sure.
My last thread hit front page and 90% of the comments were advising me to invest in dollars, one even quoted that in the past 10 years, the dollar haven't fallen but it increases every year.

One even called me a weak minded person and I am scared to take risks.
After everything I thought to myself, since so many people felt this dollar will keep on rising, maybe I should invest afterall life is all about risks.

Well guess what, dollar have decreased, I invested 3M in buying dollars and now in today exchange rate. I have 2.6M now and I either cash out now or hope it will increase.

Right now, I am very angry.
Those giving me advice should come and contribute the 400k for me o

Another thing, do you think the dollar will increase or should I just cut my loses.
I am so tired 😫
Bro, pls cut your losses. Though the dollar should increase within the week, but it should crash than now

FamilyRe: How Would You Handle A Partner's Drastic Personality Change During Hard Times? by boxypane: 6:23pm On Oct 31, 2023
Tallesty1:
I just watched a clip that inspired this post.

Imagine this scenario.......

You are married to a beautiful woman, and you have like three kids. It is a beautiful family, really.

You have a nice house, a good ride, beautiful children, always selfie-ready wife, and salary alerts keep coming. Then life happens, and you start losing things until nothing is left. No salary, no more savings, and you're officially wiped out by poverty.

Your wife has something she does for a living, makes her own money, and does whatever it is that women do with money. You never cared because you were doing okay, but now the tides have turned.

Naturally, you expect her to provide support while you work harder to regain your footing. But what you are getting from her is something you never knew she was capable of: insults upon insults, disrespect, and all. This lasts for a year or two.

Then, fortune smiles on you again and you get back on your feet. As usual, there is money now, and your wife is the woman you married at first. She is loving again, respectful, and caring.

I want to know, will you still go back to loving her like before, as if the past two years' experience never happened, or are you going to quit?
My advice! He shouldn't quit, let's just repay evil for evil. That's much fun. Na to end her ego, end her confidence by marrying and keeping another at a distance and of course, suicide is an option.

SportsRe: Cristiano Ronaldo Likes And Comments On A Video Mocking Messi’s Ballon D’or. by boxypane: 6:17pm On Oct 31, 2023
Beverlyjean:
No one can honestly say Messi was the best player in the last 12 months . A 7 game tournament is not the only football that was played in the past 12 months ... If they say it's all about the world cup, how come mbappe dint finish second ... Mbappe had a better tournament than Messi....was top scorer with 8goals ( 2 penalties included) ... anyone that understands this game knows its all propaganda...

2010 Spain won their first ever world cup , they dint remember that it was all about the world cup . They still gave it to Messi, saying he won la liga and was top scorer in Europe and champions league ... 12 yrs later , halaand wins mancitys first ever treble , top scorer in the league with a new record , top scorer in champions league, top scorer in Europe and they still give Messi that PSG fans booed out of France for failing to help the team pass round of 16 in CL....

As someone rightly said, if halaand won the world cup and Messi won the champions league and ligue1 with psg and was top scorer in both competitions, they will still give Messi...

Fifa and the balon dor are just Messi lickers .... no football player in history has ever received 10% pampering Messi has received in his career ...

Suddenly winning the world cup gets u the balon dor... but it dint in 2010, 2014 and 2018... Messi wins the WC and it becomes a criteria again... if u condemn INEC and support this nonsense award , then u are a certified hypocrite
I think for most World cup years, the next Balon d'or is mostly predetermined by a player from the winning team?

How Relationship Between Ebira and Igala Started.

Igala were Slave from Old Kwarafanu Then Sold to Junku King around 6th century The Jukun king settled them in Idah around that period, Abutu Eje Founded Igala Kingdom in the 7th Century. The first " Ata was Ebulejonu, a woman; she was succeeded by her brother Aganapoje, the father of Idoko. Idoko would later succeed him as Ata, and had two children Atiyele and Ayegba om'Idoko (Ayegba son of Idoko), Atiyele the first son of Idoko migrated eastward of the kingdom to establish Ankpa kingdom ( ÈJÈ of Ankpa) while Ayegba the second son of Idoko succeeded his father as Ata'IGala of Idah. He led a war against the Jukun , which resulted in victory. Meanwhile Ebira is a Prince Of Junkun of the Kwararafa state north of the Benue River in present-day Taraba State. Ebira relics of trace from Junkun, Kwararafa is the Apete stool, their symbol of authority and identity as a group within the kingdoms of Kwararafa. They brought along and kept in a place in Opete Till date. their Major occupation is (Warrior, Hunter, Iron Bender, and Farmer ). The Constant Invasion of Igala Kingdom by The then Benin Kings, The Igbo's and other Kingdom around Make the Atta of Igala Invite a Very Brave Warrior Named Ebira (Positive Character) who came with the Group of his Men From Jukun Kingdom. That was how Ebira migrated to Idah around 1248-1272 AD. The Ebira are Warriors, Hunter, Iron Bender, and Farmers They came to Make The rise of Igala Kingdom became a mega state. That disrupted and contributed to the shift of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade from the Bight of Benin to the Bight of Biafra. Also that was decline period of the Benin Empire between the fivteenth centuries. The Idah-Benin war (1515-1516) was a war of mutual independence because Igala was not Alone in the Battle Field This time . After The war, a Non fulfilments of Promised by Atta Igala to The Ebira Group led to a Land dispute between the two groups in Idah. This led to a parting of ways, and the Ebiras moved southwest. Ebira left Idah After Idah-Benin War Around 1519-1521, They had a stop by at Itobe The Remaining Ebira Group That left Idah are ITAAZI (Ebira tao) IGU (Ebira koto), PANDA (Ebira Nasarawa,) AGATU (Ebira Benue the Father of Ebira MOZUM that chose to Settled Among Basa and Finally UNO ( Ebira Ètè-Uno) who chose to Across the River Benue with ITAAZI. UNO settled in Present day Edo State. Before Ebira Brothers Separated at Itobe River, They all had Misunderstandings Among them self on where to settled since they are all Brothers with different occupations, IGU who has great passion for fishing decided to settled at the river bank. While ITAAZI who Married Atta Igala Daughter was a hard working man, He considered fishing a lazy work so he moved southward into the forest Across the River with his wife and started Hunting and farming. He had his first Daughter (Ohunene at the present day Ohunene Junction in Ajaokuta, She later formed Egayin District. All Members of the various clans in Ebira Tao are descendants of the children of ITAAZI. ITAAZI had five (5) son's named (Adaviruku/Ohizi, Ododo, Obaji, Uga, Ochuga/Onotu). Ohizi (Adaviruku) had five children who are progenitors of the five traditional Adavi clans named after them. They occupied the present day Ajaokuta, Adavi, Okene, Okegwen, Okehi, Ehika, Ihima, Osara, Osisi Among Others. Most Ebira tao Clan is associated with Great Animals they Killed during Era of Hunting. During the conquest of Hausaland by the armies of The religious and Political leader Uthman Dan Fodio, 1786-1809 Ebiras came under a state of conflict with Fulani warlords to the north and west. In the middle of the nineteenth century, two major communities, Igu (Koton Large) as it was called by Hausa, it means strong land because they fought to conquest them but never succeed and were not conquered Ebira was never Conquered by Any Kingdom. Between 1865 and 1880, Ebira battled under the leadership of a warlord, Achigidi Okino with jihadists called Ajinomoh who were from Bida and Ilorin. However, the Ebiras were not conquered by the Fulanis helped in part by security provided by their hilly environment. Before Ebira left Idah The Igala Kingdom influenced and has been influenced by the Ebira, Yoruba, Edo, Idoma. Igala already copy part of Ebira language while sojourning in Idah and also have Lingual mixed with Yoruba and Igbos because of inter language communication during Translactic Slave Trade. Ebira are the warrior that help Igala Kingdom when Igala was paying Homage to old Benin empire and Junkun, Ebira warriors Help Igalas Conquered Many of the northern Igbo state. Most Northern Igbo settlements have lineages with Igala names, cultural practices with marked Igala modification and adaptations. The use of Igala circular basket in contrast to the Ibo rectangular types persists till this day. By the turn of the 18th century, After Ebira have helped The Igalas, the Igala empire was too large for any reliable and robust central control. After The Ebira left, The religious Jihadist started contracting the Igala imperial power, conquering Igala territories in the north around 1768 -1785. Bassa-Igala war added more pressure to Already war-weary Igala empire and The abolition of slave trade brought in untold economic recession to Igalas Land, In 1914 the British burnt down Ibagwa and Obukpa as a punitive measure. By the 1920s, Igala empire was a spent force and a limping shadow, the British easily took over control of both Nsụka and the Igala territories. Igala Language is 60% Yoruba and 40% Igbo, Benin, Ebira, and Idoma. After the Abolish of Slave Trade, Atta Igala wrote Series of Latter to the British to Continue the Slave Trade, Then Haiti Already Declared an Independent State. Copied from OperaHub
So what does this relationship history imply?
That the Ebiras will vote the way of the Igalas? Or the other way round... Enlighten us pls.

suleimanshehu:
In Kogi politics ethnicity plays a crucial role in governorship elections. The SDP candidates Murtala Yakubu Ajaka is a very good hearted man and is loved by his Igala people of Kogi East, the Igala's formed 45-55% population of Kogi state. The SDP candidate was an APC member, he is the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, is the state Governor sensing his "Ajaka's" popularity decided to used a court to stopped him from contesting the APC primary election. In fact, the Governor wanted to stopped him from contesting the election, the APC National Secretariat as well as his Ajaka's Igalamela/Odolu LGA APC chapter played smart on the Governor by accepting a back dated resignation letter of Muri Ajaka, which then pave the way for his eventual substitution of the SDP flag bearer. Couple with his poor performance after about 8yrs the Current governor wants to impose his cousin Usman Ododo the APC candidate from Kogi Central, his fellow Igbira man as his successor and Igbira people have 20-25% population in Kogi state. Dino Malaye of PDP is famous in Nigeria for the wrong reasons, but in his Kogi West I.e. Okun or Yoruba he is not popular. In fact, the ADC candidate Hon Leke Abejide a current Rep member for Yagba federal constituency is more popular and more generous than Dino, bcx of the gesture of Rep Abejide, ADC won the Rep seat for Kabba/Ijumu constituency the base of Sen Dino Malaye and Sen Smart Adeyemi. The issue in Kogi is that the SDP candidate has about 75-80% of support from his Kogi East which has 9 LGA about 215,000 vote cast in 2023 elections. The APC candidate Usman Ododo an Igbira man will definitely win his Kogi Central 70-80% which has 5 LGA and a total votes cast of 103,000 in 2023 Elections. Sen Dino Malaye of PDP, Hon Leke Abejide of ADC and Mr Olayinka Braimoh of AA might share the 5LGA of Yoruba speaking people in Kogi West while the remaining two i.e. Lokoja and Koton Karfe will be shared by all parties especially SDP, APC, PDP and ADC, Kogi west has a vote cast of 132,000 in 2023 elections. So, the SDP candidate has an advantage over others, because his senatorial zone of Kogi East votes alone can make him victorious at the November 11 polls, by the special grace of God
