History
Omu-aran was founded 500 years ago[2]. The community was founded due to the migration of people from Ile-ife. There was a drought in Ile-ife, to know the cause of the drought, the oracle was consulted, the oracle said Ife was over-crowded, therefore some people had to leave. Some princes were selected to migrate to other places and were given symbol of authority. One of the selected princes was Olomu-Aperan, the founder of Omu-aran.[3] Olomu-Aperan was the adopted child of Omutoto, one of the wives of Oba Olofinaiye of Ile-ife. Omu-aran is made up of people from different background that migrated to the present site of town.[4] Omu-aran became the headquarters of Irepodun LGA on 24 August 1976.

Nobody cares about your obscure villages. They are all lagosians now.

We shall not labour in vain

Amin! Mr office cleaner.

duro4chang:
Na you go suffer. I will never suffer. If that is your wish so be it. But as for me I shall not suffer.

Na suffer get your name so Oga office cleaner.

Duro4chang... Stay off drugs otherwise Tinubus present condition will be child's play.

duro4chang:
It is obvious you are high on drug. By the way did you even sleep at all? As early as 6am you have started typing rubbish. I am sure this is what you will use the whole of today to do. Get sense and you your time on something meaningful. Get sense time is going.

I have frustrated your life . Are you not typing by 6am too.

I know you are already in your office where you are doing cleaner.

Some of us are CEOs already and have the luxury of time.

Tinubu destroyed his life with drugs. Can't you see how he's aging so badly. Even obj that's much older is bouncing.

So, take a cue from Tinubus miserable life today and advice yourself.

duro4chang:
I can see that you know much about meth. Take it easy . Don't ruin your life . It is dangerous. Stop taking it. Take my advice.

Tinubu is our case study.

tommy589:


We have our individual differences. If a man buys paintings for posterity,it is his choice. Some people plan for their demise.Is their guarantee that those you planned for we manage your estate well?

You don't expect a wealthy man that has no philanthropy in his DNA to give. Give when available,but denying your self perks from your efforts is bad. Poverty no go end!

Someone who has not made money to the extent of looking for justification to spend it can never understand nor appreciate fine living. So, don't blame the guy.

Fine living is an art itself only understood by the classy. Go to their houses, even the spoons used in serving you rice will get your attention.

When you talk of Fine living... Fine dining... Fine wine... Fine jewelry. Some people won't have it any less no matter what happens.

I know some Nigerians that import fruits and vegetables from Italy on a weekly basis.

duro4chang:
Yes. I like taking agbado. I am eating it right now. Mind you, I will never take meth. If you have been on it, I will advise you to stop. Note. I will never swim in mud with a pig.

Meth? Please stay away from it!
That's why Tinubu aged so badly.
You better stay out of the mud son.

I should ask an Nyanmuri how he makes his money?

By the way, I am an Investment Banker, I earn a little below a million monthly. So, you see, I need not learn how an Nyanmuri makes his money (which by the way is mostly made from kidnapping ransom)

Investment baker or banker?

Talk true o. I know your house.

He was wearing them before he became governor. Have you forgotten he was a 419 kingpin.

DCatt:


Are watches now like arts that retain its value and used to aid in money laundering?

Absolutely definitely. Certain categories of watches like the one he's wearing are a store-up of investment.
A good place to hide money in plain sight.

Oh puleeeeese! Think wisely!

SmartPolician:


Where would he rather wear it?

In his casket during his funeral rites?

Nearly 3 years after the Supreme Court pronounced him governor, Hope Uzodinma hasn't done anything significant in Imo State.

Now, we know where the state resources are going.

When they go abroad, they rock anything they want to but not in Nigeria.

Definition of buhari in bed with "colloption"

When buhari won in 2015, one young turk from Kano bought a platinum black leather Vacheron Constantin limited edition watch for him for N61m, as gift.

So buhari too na gang.

They are not same watches.

The one advertised is a Tourbillon watch, while what the one he wore, though a similar watch, but without the Tourbillon.

I can assure you that even though he can afford the one advertised, he will never wear such an expensive watch to that gathering.

FuckOsuPigs:


Yes, I'm a Tinubu Agbado urchin? And I am from Ibadan where your Mkpuruh mmiri addicts brothers come to prosper when they come from your barren land with nylon bag

Dem plenty for here selling gala at Ekotedo and Adamasingba.

Why don't y'all stay back in your Potopoto Republic and prosper there. Abi ya land na cursed land

Why not mine their skulls to deter others from coming?
