macof: What lies High priest Wat high priest function is the Ooni even performing?? although some say Ooni has only one day off from rituals and prayers, I don't see the Ooni office being that of a priest??
Let's even say it's a priest? So what? Ife has always had king priests from it's earliest known history.

Again with this language?? This shows that you don't know history and what you stated before is wack, you keep bringing up language as if we all don't know why Oyo language is wide spread.
It's simply because of the oyo empire which took much parts of Modern western Nigerian extending to Togo and Benin...like English language spread to the British colonies in Africa

The coming Christian missionaries also further pushed the oyo language which is the root of the so called "standard Yoruba"

But then what has this got to do with Alaafin and Ooni??

all other Yoruba regions didn't draw their culture or language from Oyo?? Other regions have what they stand for, their own language or dialect which got nothing to do with Oyo
There are many people in my Village who can't speak "Yoruba" they speak Ekiti which an Oyo man would never understand

MrsAwesome: Baby sucks to get fed while guy tickles to give pleasure.
Baby when hungry sucks aggressively while guy smooches gently and softly to stimulate pleasure and fun.
Except you are masochist, rough stimulation of the breast causes pain and discomfort instead of pleasure, a baby that does that is sometimes hit gently by the mom to desist from doing such talk more of a full grown assss man.

speedyboi: Yoruba movies are nollywood movies, what are you asking here exactly?

macof: Lol where did u hear this?

Because as I know, Obalufon was king of ife when Oranmiyan left Oyo to take back the throne of his fathers. This made Obalufon run to Ekiti region.
Why would Oranmiyan be disappointed

unless you can show me how am wrong and you right.

padeolu: That's exactly why I don't go to church. I used to attend C.A.C, I had to stop upon realizing their preachings revolve round tithe and offerings. Although they pray, but prayers only don't make a good Christian. I tried other churches aswell, they all seem to be thesame.

noblezone: Nigeria remains an edifice of slave trading!
The father of Nigeria was a criminal called Luggard!
The are indirectly still colonising us today!

it is a shame!

With the audacity of the Jiharidists up North, it is necessary for us to draw our boundaries now before it is gets too late.
We are still suffering from the consequences of colonisation of the brutish British, to add another colonisation by the primitive Arabic people will be the last straw!

It is the duty if every Biafran to work for our unity and our freedom!

zoeee: Yoruba movies...

macof: I admit Oba Sijiwade has been disappointing and it's very possible he isn't the one Ifa picked.
Unlike his predecessor, Oba Aderemi who was man well fitting of the Ooni title

However Ooni is not "ordinary" Alaafin cannot do anything to the Ooni

I don't know why you all looking at the man and not the actual Title, even at looking at the men without the crowns, Sijuwade is no mate of Adeyemi

Whatever the case both Oba Okunade Sijuwade and Oba Lamidi Adeyemi have disappointed

Imagine an Alaafin, descendant of Oranmiyan parading himself as a Muslim.
Disgusting

asalimpo: The freelancer i knew, is now workg d nine to five. He was a badass web dev but competition increased and jobs were very infrequent and very spaced out.
Collection was a pain. Afterall d negotiation and agreement he wud sometimes get a toss of 1/5th d amount . Think he's happy in his cush job though. (N1m+ /annually).
Issue is you can't (or i've seen nobody) do freelance all ur wrkg life. You'll at som point hav to setup a going concern (employ staff etc) or find and cling onto a regular job.
If u setup a company beware d risks (bigger meaner competitors cud wipe out ya market) and once d market looks the other way,ur history.
Where i live,they were 3 independent eateries and snack shops, dotting d road,they were doing well,fast forward 4 years on, mr.Biggs came on , then anoda big name caterer. Shop1 is down-closed. You can guess,tht shop2 is on hurtg.

macof: and when did military prowess relate to The legacy of oduduwa?
Did ur people tell u ife was built to be a warring people?

Oyo was built for the sole purpose of creating an army but answer my question since you have been on about war since

When last did oyo win or even partake in a battle?

Kiriji war didn't see Oyo flex it's powers

babyosisi: I declare you the olunaira of Nairaland

macof: Yes, Ife took part in Owu's defeat at Orile-Owu

But then when has war become a factor for superiority in Yorubaland? what happened to age and origin?? Didn't Egba defeat oyo?
Didn't Dahomey defeat Oyo?
Didn't Ilorin defeat Oyo?

When last did Oyo fight a battle?
Talk less of the last time they won one

Abi Your people have forgotten what Lisabi did to you?

Oyo's imperialism is over, it's jst a rich and proud HISTORY that shouldn't blind you from reality

MrsAwesome: okay, when a baby is suckling on the breast, the mouth forms a vacuum on the darken area surrounding the nipppple so the milk can be ejected adequately from the breast while during sensual arousal, the nipppple is the primary to focus to elicit pleasure as it is sensitive to touch. If a baby suckle on the nipppple instead of being positioned properly it will elicit discomfort and pain instead of arousal and pleasure.
