You need to understand how this works. no meeting can be held without the approval of the chief justice. They are meeting because he approved it and decided to step aside which is what Onnoghen was supposed to do.
id911: He did not abstain because he was not invited to the meeting. So, stop lying
Do you know how long it takes to update sites in Nigeria? and to start with, it is HON. JUSTICE MAHMUD MOHAMMED, GCON, the man before Hon. Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, CFR that is still there. see below;
Religion is not by force and shouldn't be perceived as a bondage!!!!! Fasting to me is all about discipline and focus. so if your focus is going to be divided then you have to leave one for another. break your fast and concentrate on your future !!!!
Sirheny007: Up till now, I am yet to 'choose to believe' if the whole Chibok saga is true..or false. I just dont know which to believe.
Then that means you are still a fool because even Jonathan admitted it and regretted not acting on time. You never will understand the pains these guys went through.
The more warnings i see, the more reason why Federal government should speed up action to arrest nnamdi cos it's long over due. you cant be in a country and declare another with a security service/ police. There are better ways of achieving such. I thought he is educated but i was wrong. Let him be arrested and another smart and educated Ibo champion it in a more peaceful manner so they can give them biafra and let's see how far they can go. after all, who Ibo help? http://sunnewsonline.com/ijaw-youths-warns-fg-against-nnamdi-kanus-arrest/[/quote]
[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]kannywood - what ever that is...........fucking dream killers!!!!
ObiOmaMu: The Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria yesterday announced they have expelled top Kannywood actress, Rahama Sadau, from the Hausa film industry because she featured in a romantic musical video by Jos born singer, ClassiQ and hugged, cuddled the music artist.
Press play to see the video. The association said the feature was immoral and also warned other actors and actresses to henceforth follow the rules binding their participation in the Kannywood film industry.
Meanwhile, a die hard Rahama Sadau fan has started a campaign demanding that MOPPAN takes Rahama Sadau back.
Dear Laila,
I am sure you already know that Rahama Sadau has been suspended for hugging a man in a music video. I am a poor girl like Rahama from the North who once found her impressive life an inspiration, the way she was able to rise from being an everyday girl from Kaduna to starring in Nollywood pictures made me dream, maybe one day, I too could.
In many ways, I think she's a lot like you - a woman facing the brute reality of trying to make it in a man's world. Unfortunately, Rahama's 'inspiring' days are about to be cut short. I know its a lot to ask, I know you have so many more important things to deal with and I know this might never get to you, but something in me told me I had to at least try.
MOPPAN is a national body and whether they like it or not, the people in Nollywood hold all the big guns, and there aren't many women with your reach or influence that can or might be willing to make them chip in.
Please share my petition on your site, or perhaps just give your voice to those calling for more fairness in the matter. The people that did this are being inspired by the same religious puritanism that inspired Boko Haram, please help poor northern girls know that it's not a crime to hug or be hugged, it's not crime to do what men are allowed to do everyday of their lives.
ini4brandon: Op don't forget Hakeem Kae-Kazim. He starred in Hollywood blockbusters like ‘X Men Origins”: ‘Wolverine’, ‘The Fourth Kind”, “Hotel Rwanda”, 24(as colnel Ike Dubaku in season 7 i guess)and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Wicked roles dey fit am wella The guy is good with his standout voice.
Maybe you didn't hear of the ezendigbo of ilorin that challenged the king that he is also a king disregarding the law of the land.
harmless011: I dont why we made issues out of nothing the eze ndigbo of a thing is just ceremonial title, the title bearer is still subject to the laws and customs of the host community. So no need to blow the whole thing out of proportion.
Oga, take am easy o, follow the trend carefully. It was Alake of Egba Land that listed the hierarchy of kings in Yoruba Land and rated Oba of Benin the 3rd and oonin of ife was trying to settle it that no one is claiming supremacy but all he is after is unity among the traditional rulers
erusen: ,the ooni is trying to claim say Benin is part of Yoruba hierarchy, I have a fair knowledge about the heritage and history of my people, but I think is the Oba of Benin(he is presently not with us,he has gone to the great land of his ancestors) office's that will have to come out and have a final say in this issue,but I do know that eko is a bini language,and that before the 50's there was nothing like oba of Lagos it was called elekko of Lagos,around 1898 or so it was the Europeans that came to the rescue of Yoruba labd being invaded by Oba of Benin,Benin had a much larger empire that was submissive to Oba of Benin until it broke of to many other tribes in the south south today,so this ooni must be looking for a hell lot of trouble with his mouth,we binis are famous for having a short temper oh,even the majority of Bini consider the yorubas here in Edo state as dirty people, I hope I didn't offend any body oh.
I think it really did not add up for Benin to be claiming they gave birth to ooni.the population of Benin is like 10% of Yorubas. and from onset the name Oba has always been used. it's just that they use more of the AKAs e.g the alake of Egba land. All i know is the oba of benin is also very powerful and highly respected as other yoruba Kings.
Born2Breed: The Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Tuesday said Benin Kingdom in Edo State remained part of the expansive Yoruba race, a pronouncement that may spark fresh rivalry and altercation between people of the two ancient kingdoms.
The monarch made the comment in reaction to a statement credited to the palace of the Oba of Benin challenging the claim by the Alake of Egbaland, Adedotun Gbadebo, that the Ooni of Ife remained the pre-eminent spiritual leader in Yorubaland and environs.
Oba Ogunwusi, via a statement by his Director of Media and Public Affairs, Moses Olafare, made available to PREMIUM TIMES, said he was not interested in any supremacy battle with anyone but that he would continue to put the records straight and avoid distortion of history from any quarters.
The monarch said going by historical evidence detailing the Oduduwa lineage, Benin Kingdom remained part and parcel of Oduduwa House.
“We in Oduduwa land have always seen and regarded our people in Benin kingdom as part and parcel of Oduduwa House. They are our brothers and sisters, coupled with historical facts to back up this position,” Ooni Ogunwusi said.
“The statement credited to the Alake of Egbaland, did not emanate from us but the reality is that as a highly experienced and well informed monarch, Kabiyesi Alake, who is a bonafide Oodua descendant is entitled to his opinion based on his knowledge and understanding of history,” the Ooni said.
“Let me emphasize for the umpteenth time that Kabiyesi Ooni is less concerned over any supremacy hullabaloo. He is only interest for now in how the sacred throne of Oduduwa can explore measures through which the collective interest and genuine unity among Yoruba and other tribes within the larger House of Oduduwa can be enhanced.
“This informed his resolve to build bridges of harmony among Yourba Obas. I am resolutely committed to how Yoruba ethnic group can restore its glory and pride of position among other ethnic inclinations in Nigeria and don’t want to be dragged into supremacy contest or join issues with anybody.”
The traditional ruler said he recalled that about six years ago, attempt was made by some people to upturn history during the launch of a book titled: I REMAIN SIR, YOUR OBEDIENT SERVANT, which he said stood historical facts on its head.
Oba Ogunwusi stated that If the position espoused by the Oba of Benin Palace in the media “is aimed at distancing our people in Benin from the South West and Yoruba, so be it.”
He however added, “We still identify with them as our kinsmen, regardless of the attempt to change the course of history.”
The Alake had, while hosting the Oba Ogunwusi in his palace on February 7, rated the Ooni as the number one monarch in Yorubaland and other territories considered part of the Oduduwa House.
In his rating, Oba Gbadebo said Oba Ogunwusi was number one of the five principal Obas in Yorubaland, followed by the Alaafin of Oyo, then by the Oba of Benin (in third position), the Alake of Egbaland (fourth) and the Awujale of Ijebuland (fifth).
But in a swift reaction on Tuesday, the Esogban of Benin and Odionwere of the Kingdom, David Edebiri, rejected the ranking, saying the Ooni of Ife was a son of the Oba of Benin and that the Oba of Benin stool has no relationship with the Yoruba race.
The Esogban said, “We wanted to discard this report as something that was not necessary at all. We do not see how the Alake of Egbaland suddenly woke up to think that the Oba of Benin is also a Yoruba Oba.
“There is no basis for such classification; Oba of Benin has nothing to do with the Yoruba Obas. It is simply unnecessary, unless they simply want to stir up an unnecessary controversy.
“We are not in Yorubaland. To be frank, it is because many of them are not willing to come up with the truth, the word Oba is alien to Yoruba monarchy; it is not part of their title from time immemorial.
“For instance, the one they call the Oba of Lagos, these are recent adaptations. In the 50s, there was no Oba of Lagos, what we had was the Eleko of Eko. That is the title of the King there. In Ibadan, you have the Olu Ibadan. You come to Abeokuta, you have the Alake of Egba land. You come to Oyo, you have the Alaafin of Oyo. In Ilesha, you have the Owa-Obokun of IIesha. So no Yoruba monarch had as part of his titles the word Oba except the Oba of Benin.
“That word Oba is indigenous to Benin. It is only in recent times you find everybody bearing Oba. When the Western Regional conference of traditional rulers took place in Benin City in 1942, go and check the attendance, there was no other monarch in the whole of the Western Region then that bore the title of Oba, except the Oba of Benin.
“So it is an unnecessary excursion, an unnecessary attempt to turn history upside down by the Alake by classifying the Oba of Benin as third in the hierarchy of kings.
“Our own traditional history says that the Ooni of Ife was a Benin Prince who wandered from here to Ife, settled there and became the ruler there. That is the position, if they don’t know, they should send people here; we will teach them.
“We will show them landmarks. So this is unnecessary misrepresentation of history. Maybe the Alake wanted to mention a different place and not Benin.
“The monarchical rulership in this part of the world started from Benin during the era of the Ogisos. It was the son of the last Ogiso, Owodo, that wandered from here to Ife and he became a ruler there, carrying everything about the Benin monarchical system to that place. There is no basis for such classification.
“The Ooni of Ife, by historical facts, is a son of the Oba of Benin, so they are not in the same class. The Oba of Benin is the only one that answers Oba, the rest don’t. But today, we hear Oba here and there, they are all recent adaptations. I am saying categorically that the word Oba is indigenous to Benin and not to Yoruba nation.”
No be him suppose pay them but to me, he's just making jest of both the teachers and the government because obviously, he is not doing anything positive in the house as a senator to help the situation. not even a bill has been raised to backup these his common sense fake campaigns[b].
[b][/b] This calls for urgent attention if truly we are in the change era. For a very long time, government has failed us and we in turn, fail each other.thank God for people like the OP who in their own little way are trying their best to ensure this is corrected which is what everybody should do until this is corrected.
Terrorists/Bokoharams are not difficult to identify.
uselessgoat: Thank God for the honourable minister. the xtains should know that islam is peace and not all muslims are terrorist. Respect our beliefs or expect jihad
