Senior Yoruba Obas can ever been in quote, and that is under statement and British views of things. the world Senior or Junior can be termed as the politically motivated world. Once a king, remains a king and that can only depend on the number of territories controlled by such king. Senior or Junior Obas is a nonexisting statement in the history of yoruba

The supremacy ranking is faulty so to say. Oba Alake should not just try to bring conflict among Yoruba race. I think we have known peace for a while now. All I have read so far in history of Yoruba so far did not rank Yoruba Obas but only referred to Ife as center of Yoruba race, and Ooni of Ife was not ranked first in the history, a reference was made about Oduduwa as d founder of Yoruba race...

but cannot be candidly prove that the present place called Bini was d original abode of Oduduwa the purported father of most ancient kings in Yoruba land like Ooni of Ife, Alake of Egba, Owa-Obokun of Ilesha, Aalafin of Oyo, Orangun of Ila etc. These kings candidly trace their lineage to Oduduwa of Bini

though I am Yoruba, but I will categorically agree with what Benin chief says. it is actually true through d Yoruba history books I have read...

a nation where inmates graduate to be more worse criminals than they were previously. prisons that are supposed to be for characters corrective measures turn out to be for criminals building...

I agree with Melaye but not a justifying reason for corruption continuity. Elder Statesman Obasanjo is writing to NA as he supposes to do. I believe Obasanjo realised for so long that he was not a saint but dear NA we voted u becos we believe d acclaimed Change will come through you but if u failed to ensure this, we will have to repent of our action in voting u in there...

sorry for above mix up comments by me. it is actually meant for another topic entirely

to cap it all, I simple say, getting into heaven takes being subjected to God as Servant, and also free with God as son to ask whatsoever good things we desire from Him. It also takes busying loving our neighbors as we can ever love ourselves instead of sitting down practising religion critism. Devils can get us distracted in truly focusing on the main purpose of our living which is serving God and doing His will. It is high time to forget about our individuals differences and embrace peace at all cost. http://www.shalompeacehouse..com. http://www.facebook.com/GodlyPeace

THERE IS NO QURANIC VERSE JUST A SINGLE 1 THAT MENTION SWORD BECAUSE IT PREACHES PEACE

AM EXPECTING TWO slowpoke TO COMMENT THE 2 NO THEMSELVES

MY FRIENDS THERE IS ONLY ONE RELIGION THAT WILL BE ACCEPTED BY GOD
THE RELIGION OF ALL PROPHET ABRAHAM NOAH AARON MOSES JESUS AND MUHAMMED {MAY THE BLESSING OF GOD BE WITH THEM}
I BELIEVE THESE IS THE RELIGION EVIDENCE=
3:102

O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except in a state of Islam.

3:19

The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account.

A LOT OF EVIDENCES LET ME STOP HERE

Dear Brother, it takes spiritual knowledge and eye sight to interpreted all the Scriptures u quoted above. It can never be interpreted with wisdom of men. And any one without the Holy Spirit of God can never understand the Biblical words... John 6: 63

Dear NL, Enmity leads people to Hell than any other thing this day. We must be aware that God knows about our differences, but devils have trying using dat to deprive us of peace. We can't avoid to stick together despite our differences. Let's shun devil's device and embrace peace now!

kayodekb:
Christians funny sha, there are thousands of Christians converting to Muslims every year including pastors...av u ever seen any imam converting to Christianity? I can count hundreds of pastors that have converted. the only Muslims that do convert to Christianity did it because of marriage, most of them don't even pray salat... all ur pastors sees u as a sheep. they are using churches to enrich themselves while the gullible worshipers dies of hunger

Dear brother, there is no where on earth will Christian convert to any religion for whatsoever reasons. church- goers can only be converted. Mind u d word "Christian" is sacred and it means Christ- like people. The Christ we talk about is partially known by many religion as Anabi Isah or Jesus. But with spiritual eye-sight, one can best know Him the more. I pray He reveal Himself to you tonight my brother so that you can as well testify...

olisaEze:
Y? Who made it their religion if dey wer born into it? Wht if they feel their parents got it wrong?

Changing religion is not even the best but changing the way of life can be so desiring. I have been running away from religion for many years now but looking forward to religion that will truly embrace peace that comes from God directly. And I have discovered that there is no other way of life than the standard set by the One who said, " Love your neighbors as thyself", how realistic can that be in any religion of the word except through embracing Christ Jesus who does not belong to any religion of this word...

They were all actually churchgoers before, not Christians per sey, genuine Christians cannot be so confused and forgot the leading of the Holy Spirit. All are the fulfilment of the Scriptures concerning such happenings. They are of people devoid of knowledge of Son of God, and have not enjoyed the fullness of Christ, thereby been tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive... Ephesians 4: 13-14. And Bible even says, "Foolishness is the word of the Cross before those that perish".

So did I, no info from them till now. I hope did so well in test and d interview? Let me hear from u to track their response together ok

lekankolade:
U made a point sir...especially where u said "immolatory trajectory of dulce et decorum est pro patria mori"....it's true

wetin true there? that go collect arms money back from people Dasuki give as parting gift. I beg make I hear o...naso d grammar no gree make I sleep now. Why on earth must Hon Patrick make such confusing statement in such a time like dis in Nigeria...

I sure sey Hon Patrick migrated to Nigeria cos which teacher/ lecturer teach him all these grammars and refuse teach him classmates alike. Beside, has any1 ever told him dat Nigeria problem needs grammar. D one he don speak for house for 4 years d result never come out.

u can't get best of pmb when using language he cannot flow well with to have a chat wit him. check out d chat wit him on BBC Hausa service. English language be like asking pmb to take apu/fufu for lunch. Kai u wan kill my abooki no?

it baffles to see nations with large populace with wasteful and non philanthropic nature...

he is tweeting for he remembered PMB won d election using internet power to woo the common Nigerians to believe they can get paid salaries without doing a job.

military issue can ever be a sensitive issue, imagine obstructing army chief and u expect d retired army chief to take side in such situation? that can be dangerous to Nigeria security situation. He wouldn't do DAT to avert d wrath of army, and even Shiite populace in Nigeria

na to rock wit babies this time...wetin barrens go do o. na to go orphanage to adopt one lolz

princew2:
Ibe kachikwu on points

guy u rocks...na tru talk. old things must completely pass away wen in Christ.

oh boy this na life lesson...I fit employ d lady my guard o, seem safer than police, may be I can sleep wit my two eye closed, abi wu go fear having a lady-guard who can disarm man of his man and gave him smacks-down beating.

The stupid guy came to my house in particular, when I was off to church in d nite. He had a mission to loot my apartment but my prayer against him caught him unaware, this made him caught and beaten badly. Though sadden yet bad for him to attempt such

next is present ur tithes and offerings or Sakat payment card...to be sure u have been paying such from the past salaries collected. God will surely one day rise to help the oppressed ijn.[color=#000099][/color]

All we know is that nothing must hinder d success this time. If we fail as a nation once again. Tribalism, religious-partiality, political favouritism or any form of ethnic views must not deter from getin result. Let just pray along for dis government.

BeeBeeOoh:
