For this life just dey your lane and be low key no matter how much the urge to be loud comes

So in summary, just resist the urge.

Why is govt, state and FG, treating kidnapping with kid gloves?

A totally awful kind of plan. They could have waited a little bit. Condolences though and RIP.

I remembered that year. The wife was cashing out from him and be betting in another man. Furious by the act he kpai his wife and went to jail

He was acquitted. No jail.

If prosecutors had charged him for manslaughter, he might have gone to jail. The gloves that didn't fit made murder conviction too big and too unsafe.

Only years later he went to jail for alleged robbery/kidnap.

He wanted to foolishly go and retrieve old memorabilia. When he should have known the powers that be have been waiting for any slight opportunity to nail him for anything.

1. Oduduwa.
2. Oba Ozolua.
3. Ogiame of Warri. The original crown was stolen before coronation of this current Ogiame.
4. Queen Amina.
5. Oba Orhogbua.

Yes, they are ALL still important.

Some are taught in some areas but funding is poor.

Economically, these languages are still used in rural areas (where over 50% of Nigerians still live) for communication and commerce.

Yes, ready to learn more for free or even pay.

Personally, certainly for Edo/Benin (and other Edoid languages like Urhobo/Isoko, Esan, Afemai, etc) Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.

BUT colonial mentality and elitist behaviour of educated parents make them believe that English is superior. It is not.

Seun, Myndd and mods, FT please. This is about our culture.

Electricity is not a right

Access to electricity is and u already have that

Correct. Moonlight and firefly light will do. Wonderful!
Your friend David Mark once said so about analogue landline phones.

But God don shame am since. GSM came and smartphones followed.

I used to think they are South Southern soups.

My dear, they are o.

In Edo, the soup was not even called egusi by locals. My late grandma wouldn't have known what egusi meant.
It's called ogi soup in Edo. Or ikpogi (ogi seeds). It can be cooked with cotton wool leaves, scented leaves, bitter leaves, water leaf, pumpkin leaf, veg leaf, young cocoa tree (not cocoyam) leaves, etc. Can even be blended with freshly plucked oziza (black pepper) leaves depending on season and delicacy desired.

She had no idea what ugwu leaf meant. Edo call it umwenken leaf.

She did not know about ogbono. She knew it as ohere. We had ogbono/ohere trees that were like 70 years old in Edo back then. She used to dry and crack the ohere pods open.

She died in the 1970s.

When Igbo began opening restaurants, being highly migratory, and pidgin became more widespread in urban areas, you began hearing igbo names of various soups. Suddenly they say they all belong to igbo. Na wa o.

It's people like you makes us other south kick souch against you south west...what the fkk do you mean by it's only SW who cares about southern unity,who betrayed jonathan and the south south 2014??

Please don't give him your business because the air hostess are wearing Ndigbo attire as a nod to their oga's ancestry. I am sure you will be in the minority because most see no big deal in it apart from admiring the ingenuity and beauty of it all.

There is no tiny rope binding anybody, go to markets in major Yoruba and Hausa towns and see traders from all over still doing business cordially together.

It is only on social media that most Obidient and a few Batist miscreants are fighting a proxy war that nobody sent them. Most of whom are abroad anyway.

Nor mind that entity. But if na buba and soro, it's 9ja attire.

Walai:
Sadly, the bolded is lacking here. Therefore we need square pegs in square holes to make any progress. Don't argue blindly bro
FYI, Buhari will make a good US President because of the same bolded statement

OBJ once said that even Jesus as president can't fix 9ja because it's way beyond one good or bad leader. Leaders come and go, strong institutions grow stronger.

Which health minister has drastically improved health care in 9ja since 1999? All have been largely medical profs or professionals.
Eyitayo Lambo, an economist, was only non-medical health minister and was in OBJ's second tenure. He launched NHIS. No health minister had managed to do so for decades. Despite promises. His work at WHO, despite being non-medic was vital though.

bestman09:

No be today it start. Anything is possible in[b] Nigeria where an architect can be appointed as a minister of health[/b].

Dude in countries with a good civil service and strong institutions, a person without even a degree can be minister of anything: Finance, health, foreign affairs, etc.

Ministries have experts to handle the operations. The minister only ensures that the political agenda of the government is implemented and co-ordinated. He provides leadership, not necessarily the subject expertise. Anybody with political and leadership acumen can be posted to be minister of any ministry.

Check all the ministers in various advanced countries.

If you don't do DNA test on your kids na you know.

DavSagacity:
EXCELLENT Gesture from the woman.
Some so called FEMINIST frawn at this woman now

That's why those frowners with entitlement mentality will never go far in anything except slack vj and high body count without productivity.

Later when the guy shows her more love, they will say she's using juju.

God bless her marriage.

That is history that we all know
The King of England has a history . He has not been there forever
Even Oduduwa met people in Ife.
Let us stop this nonsense about beaded crowns
There is no pronouncement in Ifa or anywhere that says a king must wear beaded crowns. That is the TRADITION OF SOME. not all

Lol, who will stop Olubadan if he chooses to a wear beaded crown in his palace or anywhere in 2024?

But we still need to have a historical perspective to educate people. If anything, it's kudos to Ibadan people how they managed to be punching so much above their weight almost since it was founded.

In Nigeria today, the main categorisation is the obaship class.

Everybody dey hin dey, my brother.

aribisala0:

Not a Baale system
That is a totally wrong understanding

There is nothing like Baale system across Yorubaland. It varies from place to place.
The One can system ensures very old monarchs which is not the case with Baales

Now what do You mean by REAL royal stool?
How do you define Realness??

I guess he is referring to history. Ibadan was a Ba'ale stool until less than 100 years ago, about 1930. It's not one of the old royal stools like Alaafin, Awujale, etc. Since Ibadan gained political prominence after fall of Oyo and during colonial era, the stool grew influential too.

Being a young town and stool that began as a Ba'aleship by largely exiles, warriors and such, it was easier to institute a more egalitarian system than in the more ancient monarchies.

The number is large at 42 monarchs including the Ba'ales because the system runs in a way that people tend to be old before they reach the top of the civil/Olubadan or the warrior/Balogun tree to ascend. They hardly stay more than 10 years. This is the third Olubadan to ascend since 2016.

But today, Olubadan is a first class monarch and that's it.

Lol…history hands down

With economics and geography. Biology and Agric follow behind.

oz4real83:
In Edo, when a married woman whose bride price was paid and other marriage rites were done by a man cheats on that man, tradition does something I hate so much , everything about the man whether business and all will collapse, the husband and children become sick and may even die, while nothing happens to the woman , until she confesses and necessary actions are taken. Her confession is just to heal her husband and children, not for her personal cure . These are real events among all Edoid related groups, why nothing directly happens to the woman is still something i don't understand

Bolded is not always true. If she is confronted with the allegation of cheating and denies it, she is made to swear an oath to the ancestors. Yes, some are wicked enough to deny and swear.
In that case, it will likely kill her. There are also sub-clans where the women may have trouble during child birth. Some only confess at that point. She may or may not survive it.

Remember that traditionally, the wife typically has no blood ties with the ancestors of her hubby, whereas her children and hubby do. The taboo is typically to ancestors of the man and the earth/land/homestead. While the woman is only bound by marriage ritual/rites (which proper traditional divorce can undo), her children and hubby are forever bound by blood to their ancestors. So they bear the consequences.

Ofunaofu:
Tinubu is now contracting questionable international media houses, cash and carry analysts to give the impression that the economic policies imposed by his government are working.

First it was Bloomberg claiming that some phantom billions are pouring in, now some Goldman Sachs analysts saying that naira will appreciate

The Truth is that anything outside returning the Naira to dollar exchange rate to[b] N700/a dolla[/b]r and 185/liter of PMS where he met it is a total balderdash. A confirmed failure

Tinubu cannot be whitewashed. No opinion of international media house or world economic analyst can change that

No. They/APC said 216 to a dollar was too weak that GEJ was clueless and should go. They also opposed subsidy removal.
It must go to below 216 or APC and goons are the clueless ogogoro drinking, shoeless, certificateless age-forging retards.
