The human cost this time will be unprecedented. Gazans will pay dearly for this and they may be obliterated. 50 years ago, Arab nations did the same thing that Hamas did yesterday and they paid with heavy losses and land. Gazans should have advised Hamas to learn from history but unfortunately they all slept putting heads in the same location. Nobody wants lives to be wasted but it is better not to start what you cannot finish

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has challenged academia in Nigerian universities to properly document the history of Yoruba race rather than relying on jaundiced history.


He said proper documentation will not only foster unity but reveal the ties across ethnic groups, saying evidence showed that the Igbo race migrated from Ile-Ife.


The monarch put the challenge before the academia while addressing journalists ahead of an International Conference on ‘Ile-Ife and Yoruba Civilization: Nexus between Tradition and Modernity’, at his palace in Ife.

He said Yoruba race has about a quarter of its history documented, hence, the reason he is collaborating with select universities on the need to properly document the history of the race with a view to enhancing cohesion among the people globally.

“We have good evidence to believe that Igbo race has its roots here in Ile-Ife. There is Ile-Igbo here in the palace which was not a recent creation but has been existing here for decades. For this and many other reasons, I believe we need proper documentation of our history,” the Ooni said.

“We are not involving government in this project so that we can just place all the facts together, we must write our history properly and put things the right for the coming generations”.

Also speaking, a renown professor of history, Siyan Oyeweso, said the conference aims at bringing scholars together to discuss how to properly document the history of Yoruba, with focus on Ile-Ife as the source of the race.

The malady caused by Hamas terrorists will be the last straw that will break the backbone of this evil. It is not who 1st laughed that laugh the best. Netanyau is a no-nonsense retired General that will squeeze the last blood out of Hamas and at the end of last shot, Gaza will lay in ruins like Sodom and Gomora

Reno shouldn't mind these toddlers of hate. Let them continue with their naked dance. But they should know that a day will come when it will be the turn of south east to rule Nigeria, these childish behaviours will make Nigerians remind them that it is time for karma to take his pound of flesh from them

Christistruth00:



On this one Ohaneze is 100% correct

Ohaneze is acting to prevent a fallout with the FCT Indigenes and is very correct to do so

And how do you explain the ones calling themselves ezendigbo in other tribes outside eastern region? You guys should judge rightly at all times so that we can all stop heating out the polity. Your people nearly caused a tribal war in Akure Ondo State capital some years back because of this same thing you are saying

We are the enemies of ourselves. Nigerians are the most despicable people in the world and they will come on social media and be blaming their leaders. Shio!!!!!!

You are an intelligent person that didn't allow money to becloud your sense of reasoning. The best option is to go to the nearest EFCC and narrate this story to them and follow whatever they told you. If you do otherwise, 2 years after, you will be reporting to their office for a case you know nothing about. Be wise

That's Julius Berger truck! They must pay heavy fine after making them to repair it. This is why we think government is not doing enough. Immediately they repair something, some people will go and damage it. Just the same way some miscreants went to the new Niger bridge to remove the expansion joints the other day before they were caught. Nigerians are too destructive joo

You can't run to Ghana and be throwing jabs, come to Nigeria to file your case in court. Idiotic fellow

He can now use it to wrap tuwo as nothing will change the narrative

Reno spoke the truth but the hatred the headless mobs have for Tinubu and over 8 millions Nigerians that voted for him will blurr their sense of reasonings to face this fact. Sensible Nigerians have moved on to use their precious times to better their lives than to allow hatred to block their reasonings

Thank you for bringing smiles to the faces of these young kids. I was elated seeing you giving new school uniforms to the kids that were wearing torn uniforms. God bless your organisation

The seed of disunity planted by Kanu and Obi has finally given birth to hydraheaded monsters that will be difficult to tame. No where is safe anymore in the east. Poverty rate will be very high this season as a result of insecurity in a region known for trade. It is a long way to freedom

Who is Lloyd Ukwu? Where is he from in the first place? We knew those who fought for our nascent democracy! We know he's speaking for his people from south east. He has no moral values to tell our democratically elected president to resign. Bunch of nincompoops

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Jealousy bitter leaf people will not be happy

They have started complaining already on what does not concern them.

Waoh! The true way to go. Yoruba l'agba. Àsà Yoruba je wá l'ógún. Ilè káàrò o jíire, e jé ká so'wó pò ka gbé àsà was láruge! Forward ever backward never. A Yoruba nation that had been in existence and surviving on her own before amalgamating it with strangers that share no value with them. Yoruba nation will surely come to reality

The people must rise against these so-called simon ekpa's IPOB faction. It is only mass action against them or they report them to the security agencies that can help in smoking them out of their hide outs. Enough of this madness ooo. Lagos is already overcrowded, we don't want more people here

Who is DJ Switch if I may ask? A crass, uncultured, tactless, shameless and idiotic shegoat. Her generation can never get to the level of Wole Soyinka. She's not qualified to lace Prof's shoes talk less of engaging an erudite like him in a debate. All these children of hate are unknowingly digging their graves with their loose talks. One day, a day of reckoning will mark them to pay for their reckless talks

Whatever that needs to be done to annihilate IPOB, Bolo Haram, banditry, kidnapping and other vices from our country is highly welcome. Sanity must be restored back to our dear country

It is the turn of Edo Central to produce the next Governor for the state. Stop marginalization of Edo Central so that there can be even development in the state

My prayers are with the people of south east in these trying times. Many innocent locals are being subjected to harrowing experiences on a daily basis through kidnapping, armed robbery, terrorism from unknown gunmen (a.k.a Simon Ekpa's IPOB group), erosion, lack of political direction and other self-inflicted problems. May God deliver them from all enemies within

Hell awaits all of you here on earth. Idiotic fellows

With the ongoing protest and pressure being put on government, I believe Mohbad will get justice even in death. Whoever or group of people that were responsible for his death must face the full wrath of the law

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Says so much about the quality of education you received.

Go and read the millennium development Goals and see that SE topped the charts in education, immunization, access to contraception, child development,etc. And these were based on population ratio like per 100 000.
I didn't say argue o, just go and read the document .
Then come back

Your low-life said it all. Indeed, the beautiful ones were not yet born

Very loose report. Many people in Nigeria lost their licences to practice when they don't pay annual dues. Go to many institutes and you will see a lot of people that never practiced again. Gbajabiamila served in the house of reps for 20 years and they still wanted him to be paying annual dues for what? Let them go with their licence naa, he's still very useful here serving his motherland

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Meaning you should have less population of educated people too if your people were going to school. Are you saying that there are more uneducated people in the north because they are more populous?

Without being told, yes

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
agbado man don go print form post online. govt of propaganda

You are too pathetic!!! Who gave birth to you? It is also Yoruba man that filled the form showing Enugu as state of origin? Until you guys taste the bitter side of other Nigerians where you reside before you get your sense back. Low level pathetic being

The statistics is based on population. The ascending order is in accordance to their overall population

See the way they all discarded the message and be attacking the messenger. Can these clowns ever think well again? Some mothers, really do have them

Lamentation of a sodomian. Shio!

Peter Obi truly lost 2023 presidential election, Arabambi backs Soyinka
Arabambi

The Lamidi Apapa-led faction of Labour Party (LP), on Saturday, owned up that the party truly lost the February 25 Presidential election, saying that the party’s Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi and Mr. Julius Abure knew the truth about the performance of the party at the poll.


This position was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, by Abayomi Arabambi, spokesperson of the Apapa-led faction of the party, in support of the Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka’s comment in South Africa, on Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election.


According to Arabambi, “it is condemnable and highly disturbing that rather than going back to the drawing board to meticulously examine where things have fallen apart and re-strategize for 2027 elections, some irredentist masquerading as members of the Labour Party have chosen to be attacking the highly revered scholar for only re-echoing the truth that is not hidden to discerning Nigerians.

He revealed that the party sees the reaction of its factional Chairman, Julius Abure through his personal media aide, Mr Obiorah Ifoh to Soyinka’s statement as nothing but “affront and abuse from a rude boy to his grandfather”.

Arabambi said, “even Prof. Charles Soludo, the governor of Anambra State where Obi hailed from had also said in the past that the probability of Obi clinching third position in the presidential race was very slim not to talk of winning the elections.

“As a party, we knew that Professor Wole Soyinka was right in his submission because how does anyone claim to have won an election based solely on pejoratives, assumption, vague rhetorics and zero evidence pointing to such being the case, but on the expectation that the actual winner would be disqualified and by some stroke of black magic, the candidate in the 3rd place will suddenly be declared winner without any proof of having scored the majority vote is absolute judicial madness on display by Peter Obi, Julius Abure and their blind allies.

“We know we lost that election, it was true Obi and Abure wanted to do ‘gbajue’ because ab initio, even when the Presidential campaign council was formed, in the North, Peter Obi uses Igbo as State Coordinators while northerner remains their deputies.

“That’s why we failed woefully. Imagine somebody that has no polling unit result sheet, no agents in majority of the polling units now turn around to claim election victory. So, how then do we say we won.

“Labour Party has been reduced to a regional party under him as he is only interested in National officers of Igbo extraction.”


He among other things alluded to the failure of the party to refuse to plan saying that it was an open secret that the party in its preparation towards 2023 elections had poor logistics and suffered dearly for it..

You should be more concerned about your lineage that is going into extinction due to eternal hatred they nursed on whom God has blessed. You should think of using your time doing what will break the curse on your lineage rather than masturbating on every thread that involves your president, who, will be there till 2031
