chinazaekperem2: I was expecting this thread to get groovy, chinonsodike, anago and chyke, don't you guys wnna post pictures again? This is an opportunity to do that na. Let's entertain our audience tonight.

Hmmmmmm. I am patiently waiting. Orlandoowoh God fit punish u today

"'Ti o ba ri Moto ti mo ra, o
buru gan an.Moto yen bad.
Ise re ko dara rara. O n fo ni. Infact,o ma feran e'. What this person is saying is that the car is very beautiful and solid working perfectly. Still laughing!

Yorubas too dey curse. Let al try to stop it. It's fun but
serious
Even in Yoruba films, they
rain curses on each other and laugh over it. It's crazy to me!

Two friends who have nt
seen 4 a while will say, olori buruku ara e, so fe ku soun ni, d other will answer, omo iya aje walahi, mogbadun arami. Whenever am coming 2 south west what usually signifies am in a yoruba state is d curses traded btw motorist even those who profess to be religious are also caught up in d act. I think there is a need 4 us to realize our words have effect and stop playfully cursing ourselves.

one thing we dont knw is dat all dis abuse and swear follow us especially if its frm a mother to her children. All this are 100% true and its annoying.
Thank u God for d kind of parent u gave me which instead of dem to abuse and swear at me wen i wrong, dey instead pray for me.
And dat is hw its suppose to be.

A sister trying to welcome her big sis from a long journey at Ilorin shouted ''EGBON MI OLORI'BU '' nd the sister responded '' ABURO MI OLOSI'' nd they hugged nd laughed, i was shocked.

Proudly Yorùbá
"Do We, Yorubas, Really Mean To Abuse or We Are Just Catching Fun?
You will see an Ijebu woman, early in the morning, just opening her shop and start dropping open abusive words
over nothing.
‘’Baba, saanu mi laro kutukutu monday yi o, awon olorubuku ma’sanfaani Kostoma (customer) ma je ki won ya sodo’mi o,,,,’’Baba, je ki won lo ku si’gbo’’
I also notice this in Ondo town especially when they are having issues with indigenes of Ile-Oluji
because some histories claim that Ondo people migrate from Ile-Oluji and Ondo hate that claims.
Over a small matter, you will hear Ondo woman complaining and abusing both the offender and the solicitor.
‘To ba ya nsin, awon were (mad people) ti o la’so gidi kan lori’ko (no single clothe on the hanger) won a tun ni mo n’sepe. Ewo nsin, eyan ti aye e ti ba’je, ko de gbe Ike mi lo si odo lai so fun mi teletele.
Then, another woman from
opposite house will ask: ‘Omo’bo ni?
The complainer: Omo Ile-oluji ni
Opposite woman: Baba lo ma pa!
‘’Ha ha! Over use of plastic
bucket!’’
Then, in Ibadan, it is difficult to say a sentence without flavoring it with abuse, even, when young
guys are trying to show interest in a lady. You will hear a young
Ibadan guy:
Monsura, wan bi, aun pe were e (mad person) la’na, oun se bi eni pe o gbo, abi ko fe da fun o ni.

The Yoruba people of
Western Nigeria are a
nationality of approximately
35 million people occupying
the south-western parts of
Nigeria. While their
primary concentration is in
Nigeria, they are also found
in other West African
countries and throughout
the entire world as well.
They constitute what could
be described as the largest
concentration of Africans
who live and work in the
Diaspora and their
descendants are spread all
over the world. But what
are some of the notable facts
about the Yoruba People?
Well, here is a look at the
top five facts about them.

They are one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa.
Numbering about 35 million
in total, the Yoruba is one of
the largest ethnic groups
south of the Sahara Desert.
They constitute about 21%
of Nigeria’s total population,
making them one of the
largest ethnic groups in
Nigeria. Contrary to what
many people believe, the
Yoruba are, in fact, not a
single ethnic group. In a
sharp contrast, they are a
collection of diverse people
that are bound together by a
common language, culture
and history. According to
the Yoruba Mythology, it is
believed that they
descended from an area
called Odua. Uncounted
numbers of Yorubas were
carried to the Caribbean
and the Americas during
slave trade period. In 1893,
the Yoruba Kingdom
became part of the British
Protectorate.
They still cling to their
culture.
Irrespective of
modernisation, the Yoruba
people still hold their
culture and traditions so
dearly. For instance, the art
of passage of rite is still rife
among the Yorubas and is
still a common practice even
to date. When a new baby is
born, it is sprinkled with
water until he or she cries
failure to which no word is
spoken until he or she does
so. At a birth ceremony, no
one younger than the baby’s
mother is permitted. After a
specified number of days
have elapsed, a naming
ceremony is held where
close relatives are invited.
Both male and female
babies are circumcised
within the first month.
Another notable culture
among the Yorubas is the
burial as a rite of passage.
Adult men who are not
closely related to the
deceased, but who belong to
the deceased’s clan are
allowed to attend the burial.
The grave is dug inside the
deceased’s house. Later,
several rituals are
performed to ensure that
the deceased is reborn
again.

Majority of Yorubas still
practice traditional
religion.
Even though a good number
of Yoruba people practice
Christianity, up to 20% of
the Yoruba population still
practice traditional forms of
religion. However, this
practice varies from one
community to another. For
instance, they claim that
they have more than 400
deities. This complexity has
led westerners to compare
their religion to that of
ancient Greek. Their
tradition holds that there is
only one supreme being or
god called Olorun. In
addition, there are three
gods available to all. Oluron
is the creator and the high
god. The Yoruba call on this
god by prayers or by
pouring water on the
ground using kola nuts.
Eshu is the divine god who
delivers special sacrifices to
the high god, Olorun. Isha,
on the other hand, is the god
of divination. He interprets
Olorun’s wishes to mankind.

The Yoruba have a strong political system.
The Yoruba are one of the
few African people who
have strong, united political
and social systems.
However, their political and
social system varies
significantly, depending
largely on regions. In
addition, allegiance to these
systems is paid uniformly to
a large urban area, as
opposed to a centralised
authority. Each town has a
leader called Oba, who
achieves this position by
being selected by an Oba
who is in power, by
inheritance or by
participating title
associations. There is also a
council of elders which
assists the Oba with
decision-making. Title
associations play an
important role when it
comes to balancing and
assigning power within
different cities.

The Yoruba are gifted
sculptors.

The art of sculpture is not a
new concept among the
Yoruba people . They started
creating sculpture as early
as the 12th century and
continue to do so even now.
In order to honour their
several deities, gods and
ancestors, the Yoruba’s
make magnificent
sculptures. Beautiful
sculptures of wood, brass
and terracotta are common
things among the Yoruba. In
addition to that, they are
also good porters, weavers
and metal smiths.

Liverpool have completed
the signing of Italian
international forward
Mario Balotelli from AC
Milan.
On signing for the club, Balotelli told Liverpool’s official website, “I’m very happy. We’ve been talking about coming here and now I’m happy to be here.

“Liverpool are one of the best teams here in England and the football is very good here.

“It’s a great team with young players, and that’s why I came here.”

He will wear the No. 45 shirt for the Reds, explaining, “When I first played three or four games with Inter Milan, when I was young, I had No.45 because the numbers for young players were from No.36 to No.50.

“I took No.45 because I was joking that four plus five is nine – and I scored in all four games. It brings me luck and that’s why I’ve always kept No.45.”

The 24-year-old flew back to England on Monday morning after spending the weekend in Italy and put pen to paper on what is understood to be a three-year deal worth £80,000 per week, according to The Guardian.

Earlier in the day Balotelli was spotted taking his first training session with the club’s conditioning coach, Ryland Morgans.
Balotelli returns to the Premier League a year and a half after leaving Manchester City for Milan. He scored 30 goals in 54 games for the Serie A club and will provide Liverpool with further attacking ammunition.

Balotelli was not registered in time to be eligible to face his former club when the Reds go to Man City on Monday night in the Premier League, but he will likely make his debut away at Tottenham on Sunday, August 31st.

Manchester United have concluded negotiations with Real Madrid and will pay a British record £63.9million for winger Angel di Maria, according to Sky sources.
The Argentina international is expected to fly into Manchester on Monday to hold talks with United next week with the hope of being ready to face Burnley at Turf moor next Saturday.

When the transfer is finalised, the fee be a record in this country, eclipsing the £50m Chelsea paid for Fernando Torres three years ago.

According to Sky Sports’ Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, United initially offered €60m and Madrid wanted €90m, with the two clubs eventually agreeing on €80m (£63.9m). 

After watching United stumble to a 1-1 draw at Sunderland on Sunday afternoon, Gary Neville told Sky Sports: “It’s good business. United have lost their negotiation strength but they just need to get the right players. This one is.

"He'll get pace into the game and get from box to box. He’s the right signing. You could argue they need other players in other areas but they definitely need a wide player.”

United manager Louis van Gaal refused to confirm or deny a deal had been agreed for the Argentine in his post-match interview with Sky Sports. 

“The club has to announce it,” he said. “When we are thinking it is the right time for a transfer then we come to you and say ‘OK, we have that player or the other player’. But at this time we cannot say anything.”

When asked if Di Maria is a player he would like to sign, Van Gaal confirmed he is but added: “I like Messi also and I like Vidal also so we have a lot of players in this world that I like but they cannot come always to Manchester United.” 

Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti confirmed on Sunday the player had come to the club’s training base to bid farewell to his team-mates and the club’s staff.

"Di Maria has not trained with us and he came in to say goodbye to the players and people at the club," Ancelotti said.

"We are thankful for what he has done at this club. There is nothing official yet but it is being sorted out.”

Despite winning man of the match in Real’s Champions League final triumph over city rivals Atletico last season, Di Maria was deemed expendable by club president Florentino Perez following the arrival of World Cup top-scorer James Rodriguez from Monaco.

That put Di Maria’s place in Ancelotti’s starting 11 in jeopardy and, when contract talks between the player and club stalled, with Di Maria feeling club officials were failing to recognise his value and contribution to the team, the decision was made to sell.

The Real manager maintains the decision to leave was made by the player and hinted the Spanish giants will be looking for a replacement before the window closes.

"The decision is his and the club has done what it could to keep him here but he thought differently and so good luck to him,” Ancelotti said.

“I am very happy with the work that he has done for Madrid but we have the chance to replace him well.”

The Amnesty International office has expressed disagreement with the compensation package approved for Lagos State by the World Bank for people forcibly evicted from an informal settlement.

The body in a report published yesterday, said: “The World Bank wrongly endorsed a compensation process that was not consistent with international human rights standards or the bank’s own policy.

“It is an outrage that a community, left destitute by the actions of the Lagos State Government, has been denied an effective remedy by the same government and that the World Bank has been complicit in this matter,” said Audrey Gaughran, the Director of Global Issues at Amnesty International.

She added that “Badia East in Lagos was chosen to benefit from a World Bank-funded project which aimed to increase access to basic services such as drainage, through investment in infrastructure. However, the demolition of at least 266 structures that served as homes and businesses took place without genuine consultation or adequate and reasonable notice and with no remedy for the loss suffered.

“In Badia East, none of the legal and procedural safeguards that are required under international human rights law and standards in relation to evictions was observed. There was no genuine consultation with the affected people to identify alternatives to eviction. The government failed to provide adequate notice, legal remedies, alternative housing for those unable to provide for themselves or compensation for the loss of property.

“After mounting pressure the Lagos state government, in collaboration with the World Bank, agreed to develop and implement a retrospective Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the Badia East residents in line with the World Bank’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement. However, both the content of the RAP and the process by which it was prepared contravened international human rights standards and World Bank policy.”

According to her, while the RAP was supposed to accommodate provision of options for adequate alternative housing or relocation to other sites; ensure that affected people were offered the support needed to restore their livelihoods and standard of living; ensure adequate compensation was given to those affected, instead only financial assistance of amounts unilaterally determined by the government and considered inadequate by affected people was offered.

Describing the Lagos State Government’s compensation as “inadequate” Amnesty International noted that the slum dwellers of Ijora-Badia whose homes were bulldozed on  February 23, 2013, did not get compensations commensurate to their losses. She there insisted that destitute victims of forced eviction must be adequately compensated.

“The bulldozing of hundreds of houses and businesses destroyed livelihoods and rendered thousands homeless. The subsequent failure to provide an effective remedy has only compounded victims’ misery pushing them deeper into poverty.”
She urged government to respect the right of people to adequate housing and security as basic tenets of human rights law.

berem: fixed again!
I think PDP is in charge of DSS in this situation.

These APC are really jobless people.

berem: fixed again!
I think PDP is in charge of DSS in this situation.

Grow some senses young lady

Obiagelli: since they don't have 5000 DSS officers, thousands of Police and military personnel, this is a good decision.

probably
you dont understand the
implication of this
directive. I am also not
sure that anybody or the
directive is about
campaign. Infact,
Aregbesola (APC) has
campaigned more than
Omisore (PDP) by my own
standard. The directive is
saying for instance in
Lagos, Fashola, his
deputy, all
Commissioners, the 3
Senators, all the Federal
House of Rep member,
Speaker of the State
House of Assembly, all
State House of Assembly
members, Party Leaders,
Special Assistants etc
should leave Lagos and
converge in Osun for 5
days. Ditto for all the
other 14 States being
governed by APC. The
questions begging for
answers are : To go and
do what? At whose
expense? Where are the
Hotels to accommodate
them? What happened to
their various States even
the Senate and National
Assembly? You have the
right to support
whichever political party
you so wished but also
have the courage and
sense to criticize them
when they take actions
inimical to the progress of
the Country or the State
they governed. Does this
make sense when they
dont have voting rights.
You are talking of almost
100 persons per State.
Some will come with their
drivers and messengers..
The National EXCO and
their aids are also there
which is another 200
people if not more. For a
governorship election?
Haba, I think we should
wake up by our slumber.
Is it a do or die affair. If
you like, let the whole
country gather in Osun
State, what will be, will
be. God already knows
who will win. When these
people go there and
foment trouble and the
security agents try to
curtail them, we will all
start blaming somebody
else. You can imagine if
PDP gives similar
directives. God will help
us in this country. APC is
definitely worse than
PDP. I pray that God will
definitely raise the true
Progressives not all these
political robbers.

Governor Tanko Almakura

Nasarawa State House of Assembly absent at seating
 By George Okoh 

The chances that Governor Tanko Almakura of Nasarawa State  may after all escape the impeachment procedure brought against him by 20 People Democratic Party(PDP) members  Nasarawa State House of Assembly got a boost  Monday in Lafia when the members of the assembly did not show up or sent representative before the investigative panel led by Alhaji Yusuf Usman.

The panel chairman who read out the procedure guiding the seating of the panel had stipulated among some of the guidelines that all parties to the case must appear either in persons or through representative observed after asking repeatedly if the assembly members were in the hall that the Nasarawa assembly had neither come in persons or sent a representative.

This forced the panel to adjoin  the seating after a brief presentation by Governor Almakura .
It was feared earlier that members of the assembly would likely not attend the sitting following their objection to the composition of the panel which the alleged is partisan and had sought  the state Chief Judge Suleiman Dikko to disband.

The Nasarawa government had however berated  the house for such action describing it as unconstitutional .
The seven member panel includes, Yusuf Usman, chairman, Mohammed Keana, Joel Galadima, Abdul Usman, Samuel Chaku, Mohammed Usman, and Daniel Chaga.
