Maxymilliano: Who is this nonentity? Like I give a rattazz about what you and your cohort feel about my opinion.

you should give elefantazz, he placed the mirror on your face.

Dreal1247: If he is playing politics with the deportation of the Igbo indigens, what of the confessions from the victims that they were held in detention camps for as much as seven months? Is it morally right to dump the people as late as 3.00am? What of the pictures that show the victims? They started them till it was about the time of their death before they were dumped. No wonder one of them died few days ago. Is dumping them at 3.00am the last option? Is Lagos State not rich enough to even rehabilitate them. Yet he was claiming that they were given medical attention b4 deportation. The picture is the same ar the one of Biafran children during the civil war. The imposition of leader on the traders av Ladipo Market is yet another issue. Tomorrow when the governors react, they will convert it to political talk. FASHOLA HATES IGBOS WITH PERFECT HATRED.

I hate Igbos with unmatched hatred an i'm the next governor of Lagos state.

Oyo (Oyo State) – A Brazilian, Prof. Fabio Lima, has urged the Yoruba to preserve and promote their culture and tradition, which has become a pride of other countries.
Lima made the call at an International lecture on “Yoruba Culture in Diaspora’’, and the launch of Paula Gomes Cultural Foundation at the Alaafin of Oyo’s palace in Oyo town,, Oyo State, on Friday.
He said the Yoruba philosophy remained alive in the new world, namely Brazil, Cuba, Salvador and Trinidad and Tobago as well as the Candomble institutions.
“When you are in Salvador, you will think that you are here in Africa, you will see the body movements, the gestural respect for older black communities because they are holders of an ancestral knowledge.
“The philosophy of the Yoruba tradition is about building a life with a set of guidelines that enhance the day-to-day lives of the people, which is incorporated into their ways of living in the new world,’’ Lima said.
The Ambassador of Cuba, Mr Hugo Ramos, said the Yoruba culture was a pride to be preserved and promoted, adding that it has a well-organised kingdom, traditions and philosophy.
Ramos said the culture and traditions of the Yoruba had transcended the African continent , which was a sign of its acceptability and richness all over the world.
The High Commissioner of Trinidad and Tobago, Mr Nyahuma Obika, who was represented by Madam Dela Obeka, described Yoruba culture and tradition as well-organised.
Obeka said there were people in Trinidad and Tobago, who had never travelled out of the island but could speak Yoruba very well.
He said that he looked forward to when the country’s president would learn the language.
“I wish to see a Yoruba institution that will preserve the language, music, dance and philosophy of the Yoruba people.
“I also want to see the little children of age two or three dancing, beating the drum and promoting the richness of the Yoruba culture,’’ he said.
Dr Paula Gomes, a Portuguese and an Ambassador of the Alaafin on Culture, said Oyo remained a salient point of historical preservation of Cultural heritage, where beliefs, traditional rites and ancient arts were still alive.
Gomes described the Yoruba as a highly researched ethnic group in Africa due to their rich cultural heritage, manifested in their history, sociology and spirituality.
Chief Edem Duke, the Minister of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation, said the ministry would always support all programmes targeted at promoting and protecting culture.
Duke, who was represented by Prof. Babatunde Babawale, commended the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, and foreigners on the occasion, for their efforts aimed at projecting, protecting and preserving culture in Nigeria.
On his part, Adeyemi said a visit to countries in the world had revealed the inter-connectivity of all races.
The monarch said he would not relent in his efforts at promoting, protecting and preserving the culture and traditions of his ancestors.
He said he would also continue to honour anyone from any part of the world, who supports the uplifting of Yoruba Culture.
The Alaafin used the occasion to give merit awards to Madam Caroline Sage of the World Bank and Madam Marli Calino of the Portuguese Embassy.
He also conferred the title of Alaafin’s Cultural Ambassador Gomes.
The occasion also featured parts of the on-going Ifa celebration as well as cultural display of arts and crafts. (NAN)

dayokanu: Most of the guys from that side of the country are senseless it shouldnt surprise you

Na S/E be dat? Old news.

Shymexx will go to any length to reply any post, even punch slugging! yet he's tongue tied as a girl confessed her love for him...shy guy.

franchizy: This news is fabricated and does emanate from the First Lady. Pls speak evil of no manm I still insist dat neither GEJ or PEJ ve hands in the Rivers crisis rather they are consulting wit Elders of the state and stakeholders to restore peace in the state.

You are a raving mad dog!

You are ravingly mad dog!

Katsumoto: 1. This exposes your lack of understanding of human social sciences (anthropology, human geography, sociology, etc). When God created man, did he create a man and woman for every tribe? Or did man move around and settle in different places? Language you speak is determined by the language in a certain geographical area, skin colour by weather and the elements, etc. Point - migration is what made man different but all men are essentially from the same bloodline.

2. Have you ever been to Salvador? Have you partaken in any Yoruba rituals?

3. Again, have you ever been to Salvador? Have you partaken in any Yoruba rituals? My point is that it can't be as pure as the motherland but it obtains even if its a minority.

4. You are mixed as well but maybe not as recent as me. Trust me, my last priority is preserving some funny bloodlines - my main priority in selecting a life mate would be my happiness and satisfaction.

Kats, next time you want to talk to the boy, pls refer to my last post.

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]its ok.


1) AS Tribals, our duty to our tribal bloodline and lineage comes before our mere se.xual temptations. If you are not tribal or have no feeling towards your tribe, you want understand this.

2)Impossible. THey did not revert to pure Ifa Orisha nor could they do so. You can provide me the locations and Ill tell you its not the same thing. Also Paganism does not work that way. THey are mixed with different tribes. Ifa Orisha is applicable only to Yorubas.


3) They DO NOT speak Yoruba! Gosh. they just have one or two words in their vocabulary! THey speak european languages today! (spanish/portuguese and these days english as well)
English is a Universal language that I must use to communicate with tribes around the world. However Im well fluent in my own native tongue and I use that when among my people.


4) If you are mixed its not your fault. but please dont mix us as well. Maintain yourself and appreciate us. dont destroy our future. THnx.[/quote]boy?! yiu are stubbornly ignorant

shymexx: Answering the bird call!!

Proudly Yoruba, from waterside Ijebu, and repping for the big lasgidi!!

Hands high to the big Oduduwa and Obanta.

When I die, bury me next to my Yoruba ancestors!!

Yes sir!!

Salute!!

Shymexx, big ups to ijebu waterside...demmie1 representing.

[quote author=gbaky_floor]What is silly about my question?

Before this post, I had carried out my own research and I noticed the pictures of the yoruba women during the colonial era had something unique. The females all had their head hairs cut. This triggered my curiosity.

Pls notice the pictures of yoruba women posted in this thread without head gears. Are you not a tiny bit curious why they shave their head hair like men?

I thrive on knowledge. I love to know about everything. I want to know the story behind the ancient yoruba women shaving their head hairs like men. I want to know why such is no longer obtainable today.

Please if you know someone that knows someone that knows why it was that way back then, help me get the story and post it here.

It is unfortunate I don't speak Yoruba, I would have gone myself to query old Yoruba women and we all know the average Yoruba person responds perfectly only to queries that are communicated in Yoruba language.

Perhaps if my Yoruba grand mother was still alive, I would have asked her.

Please help put my curious mind to rest and I will be very grateful. Thank you.[/quote]Look at the pictures again. The women did not barb their hair, they did low plait round the head as sign of matrimony. There are different hairstyles in yorubaland to show wether a woman is married or not and if she's a mother or not.

Balkan: My fellow Igbos, I have said it this time without number that Igbos in Nigeria are the reason why Nigerian is called the Gaint of Africa. Why do you think ofenmnu people are jealous of the Igbos? The only reason is because we are superior to them.
They can only be jealous. My own take is for us to ignore this dregs of humanity called oilsoup.

Lagos is an annex of Igbo land, if you like call it land grabbing that's your wahala. We will never relent untill they become tenants in Lagos. Let them speed up their bigotry
It does not change the obvious. You only throw sticks to trees that bear fruit and ignore the trees that are fruitless . Why do you think they only attack Igbos in this forum?
The other tribes are not their problem.

I am a proud Igbo man. oilsoup people can only rant and diatribe because it's a gift of nature to them, it does not change the palpable situation. The economic power is in the
Hand of Igbos. Let them keep up with their prejudice and continue to be in state of pique.

Fetid set of lineage called oilsoup. You guys stink! Your genealogical tree need to be examined. When are you to put a stop to this your asperity and acrimony?
I have said it here that your ranting can not take you any where, I know some of you have Igbo friends they can help you out to set up a business that can keep you
busy and make you get a life ok?

Lagos is not a yoruba land. LAGOS does not sound Yoruba. it happened to be in the west.

your are hopelessly hopeless

Burger01: This Gani Adams self! Wetin concern him? Empty headed big mouthed clown. Mtcheew.

Abeg, speak for yourself.... You hear?

Who in seven hells is this eediot? GA made a call for mend not to attack his people you dey ask wetin concern him. go and check your head in yaba, you hear?

How did Ibo thread turn Yoruba thread?

BTW, the Igbo recorded in Ife were modern day Ilaje/mahin people, they were referred to as ara Igbo (people from the forest) as Ife was a structured town at the time.

remember that the language spoken then had evolved to what we speak now, it may have different meaning.

splashbaby: So what are the ancestral link of the IGBO minas to the IGBOs in terms of culture, way of life, language, Religion and myth. You are the only historian so far developing this fatansy without proves.

He is a mad...MAD historian

Don't be surprised that Fasheun will even end up supporting the ACN in the long run. He and Tinubu had been in the forefront of the fights against Abacha, and they had been very good friends so far with interest of Yoruba people in their minds.

koruji: Fasheun should take GEJ's contract and do what is right for Yorubaland.
Otherwise, he will end up in a very bad place.

You mean division and mayhem...your plans will not succeed.

@OP, if na play make you stop am o! which ka'in thing be this? se jonny wan make every body declare for BH?

Okay, I'm light skinned, I shout when I speak, any sound I make has a meaning and I don't believe in christianity or islam.
I'm a member of the lost tribe of CHINA.
