He's looking so good. So much difference in his life now I guess. I remember him singing with a nice voice. God bless him so much more.

God bless Rev. Esther Ajayi for her kindness. May she and her children never lack.

Congratulations to Ifeoma the real slay mama.
Greater heights all the way.

Seems they've dissolved all MDA boards or was NIMASA among the ones excluded?

I miss RRS. They made a huge difference.

Looks like you are not Yoruba. Bola is a unisex name in Yorubaland and could be male or female but Adekunle is exclusively a male name and is never female. The prefix Ade is male and the second part Kunle is male.Clearly the person arguing is not Yoruba

Ade is a unisex prefix. A lady can bear Adeola, Adebola, Adesola etc

Kunle is mainly for males truly. Extremely rare to see a lady named Kunle.

Many of our political office holders have dual nationality. The laws of the land allows it.

Very annoying pranks! Some of these pranksters do dangerous things that could lead to serious accidents and loss of lives. They should be cautioned truly.

Where can we get the rice to buy?

Waiting to board the Blue line too. When?

Zionmdde:
That has always been my point. I want lagos state to push Igbos away from the state. Leave lagos for yorubas and hausas. Of course all my days in lagos, effiong, ubong, etc were all call omo ibo, so nothing that affects ifeanyi from anambra will not affect ifeanyi from Delta.

Igbos need to learn to face home and together let's develop igbo land

You can't push anyone away. It doesn't even make sense. This idea of calling people omo ibo isn't nice. True omoluabis are respectful. The land thrives because it welcomes all. Yorubas are hospitable. Even when pushed to the wall, there are better ways of managing the situation.

In this instance, there's really no victimisation. Buildings are being demolished all over Lagos. It has affected other markets too apart from residential buildings.

These attacks are so predictable yet the nation allows it happen or maybe I'm missing out something. Innocent lives are being lost daily. To achieve what objective really?. At the end of the day we end up spending so much to rehabilitate people. Can't we just nip it in the bud?

OfoIgbo:
Ilo Obinu also means the road to bitter hearts in Igbo.

That's why Benin people still use the Nri-Igbo four market days till tomorrow, all of which have their originating shrines in core Umu NRI towns

Interesting. Seems we're all linked together somehow.
Anyway the Olukumis in Delta/SE too were originally Yorubas. Olukumi means my friend in Yoruba. They're referred to as Lucumis in South America..Colombia, Cuba etc Those sold into slavery I believe.

OfoIgbo:
People I am a direct descendant of Nri and let me shed a little light on these issues

1. The title OBA was/is an Nri title, already in use within the core Nri towns of Enugwu-ukwu, Enugwu-agidi, Nawfia and Agukwu centuries before the first known oba of Benin I.e OBA IWEKA.
2. BINI was coined from the Igbo sentence ILO OBI INU, which means THE ROAD OF BITTER HEARTS.
3. The first Oba of Benin was an Nri titled man and the alias attached to his Obaship denoted the temperament of the Bini people back then. IWEKA goes hand in hand with ILO OBI INU. It means ANGER IS GREAT, obviously still referring to the BINIS
4. In times past, mainly because of the relationship of the Benin obas and Nri, Nri priests crowned Obas of Benin, probably up until Oba Ewuare from whose reign, the Nris started playing diminishing roles in the Benin Kingdom
5. The four market days used by Binis is a corruption of the market days originated by the Nris
6. Portuguese explorers that visited the palace of the Oba about six hundreds of years ago or so, reported the presence of HIGHLY REVERED MEN FROM THE EAST WHO TAUGHT THE PALACE THE MYSTERIES OF THE HEAVINGLY BODIES AND SEASONS e.t.c. Of course that will explain why Bini people still use the Nri-Igbo four market days.
7. Around the time of the Portuguese visit and for hundreds of years before that, the official language of the Obas palace was Igbo.
8. I hope with the above, people can now see why quite a number of Benin princes that migrated to certain areas bore Igbo names e.g Ezechima, Akalaka e.t.c.

So basically, the first oba of Benin and his descendants have Nri ancestry

Ile Ibinu means the land of anger/bitterness in Yoruba.
The Oba of Benin certainly has a relationship with Ile Ife. That's why the Oba of Benin pays a visit to Ife sometime after coronation.

They've suffered so much. I pray that the new service Chiefs put an end to terrorism and kidnapping.

olisaEze:

Wow! Just seeing this.

Bringing up kids in today's world is tough. It's never been easy but this millennium and Gen Z kids (or wetin una dey call dem) are something else. They always outsmart their parents and feel so entitled.

Una well done o. More power to your elbows and wisdom to your minds. May God continue to guide and protect you all from all troubles. May the children be sources of joy and blessings to you. Amen

I wish I could drop some words of advice. Unfortunately, everything that comes to mind can be listed as child abuse today. Flogging, kneeling down etc for instance.

Considering our present circumstances, one house is sufficient to manage our affairs. The cost of governance is too much. Perhaps we should retain House of Representatives (has a better spread for representation) and let the Senate go. The expenses far outweigh whatever advantages we think exists. Or maybe I'm missing something.

When will the political class tighten their own belts? They're still going around with long convoys and enjoying their fat pay. The gap is getting wider. The middle class is being downgraded to the lower class. The lower class is devastated.
May God guide our leaders and touch their hardened hearts to have mercy on the masses.

youngrichnigga:
This is Nigerian embassy reception for a Nigerian president visiting the french hospital in Paris and I can't see no French delegation welcoming him

Na wa for this level of bitterness!

The demolitions in Mushin, Lagos Island, Ebute Metta, Ketu market, Sandgrouse and Banana Island were also to punish Igbos abi?
The demolitions in Anambra are for what reason?

Oby should know better. Truly disappointing.

Ezewuzie01:
Someone asked a pertinent question in the first thread that the OP has been dodging since. What does Ogalla mean in the Igbo language? This is why Yorubas are smarter than Igbos.Tinubu appointed an Igala man to take a position that should rightfully belong to Ndi Igbo and some efulefus are already celebrating

I'm not Igbo but I know there are ethnic groups within every tribe with different dialects. You'll have to understand every dialect (not just central Igbo) before coming to the conclusion that the name has no meaning in Igbo language.

The Brigade of Guards are more like personal staff. He has a right to choose those that he feels will protect him.

The Service Chiefs were chosen across board. Those who say an Enugu man isn't Igbo enough are on their own. So surprising that there's so much discrimination within Igboland. Yorubas in Kwara and Kogi are still accepted as Yorubas for instance.

Sending her nudes to a guy and craving him badly... Infact when I saw that chat I fainted and woke up.. This is a girl that would do anything for me.. He was not the only guy she was even doing shit with... 3 guys but that particular one was so erotic.. I died and resurrected coz we were still very much in love... But guess what, she dosent know yet and I am still with her, I have a surprise for her... I never ever make a fuss over such nonsense and I always have a way...

Wow! Such an irresponsible lady. Best to let her go though. You obviously feel nothing for her now.
Revenge is not always the best option.

Why bother to check your partners phone? If there's deep mistrust, the relationship is a waste of valuable time.

soojar:
You can say that again.
A woman stranded on 3rd mainland bridge around 11pm in the night was assisted by these professionals, when they couldn't get her car to start, they towed her car with their car up to the woman's house inside Ketu, made sure the gate opened and they parked the car inside.

The husband was so overwhelmed that he offered them money, they declined, he offered that he would fuel their car for the petrol they wasted, these people declined and left without collecting a dime.

Their nickname is "the good guys"


We learn every day.

They once assisted me on 3rd Mainland bridge too. So helpful, no harassment and no request for gratification. The area boys who were strolling down to meet me quickly disappeared except the one who was willing to help me change my tyre.

God bless them and their generations in marvellous ways. Won ni wa alaanu ti (they'll always meet with favor/helpers will always come their way) as Yorubas say.

Antibettings:
It's bawa I planted . Seems like it's the fertilizer I used

Well done. Is bawa the same as shombo in Yoruba?

Fruitful venture by God's grace.

She admitted that she experienced network failure at a time but insists there couldn't have been a network glitch.

GO0DHardDick:
Show evidence and proof here that mark Essien a well known Tinubu supporter is Obidient.

Dude, anyone who wants to trend now uses Obidient for fun. The fellow wasn't known until after the election when he decided to do oversabi by himself and then ever since then he has been trending using the phrase "Obidient". Oga how exactly is this guy Obidient? What made him Obidient? He never supported Peter obi nor asked anyone to vote for obi and LP. So how exactly is he Obidient? Show evidence here let's see. Una go just dey talk carelessly

You obviously don't know Mark Essien. Too much bitterness isn't good for the heart.

He should have asked his people to confirm the validity of the C of O at the Land Registry in Alausa before payment.

This thread is full of sarcasm.

Reno onijogbon!

A lot of people know so little about law, evidence and legal proceedings....

It's nice to occasionally visit the courts to understand better.

I remember that he did well with Rapid Response Squad in Lagos. Those guys were professionals to the core.
