Almost everyday we hear of rape cases involving minors from the South. But when we hear of Northern men marrying under aged girls we start crying fowl and insulting the entire region.

And it's for stupid comments such as this that the SC upheld her victory. Her 'nefarious' activities have nothing to do with the case brought against her. The case bothers on election matters and not her stewardship at the Aviation Ministry. If you feel pained by her service, approach any court of competent jurisdiction to get her jailed otherwise keep you wailing to yourself.

Since we are at it, in a sane clime, Buhari would have rotten in jail for his part in the coup that ousted a democratically elected govt. The coupist Buhari whose nefarious activity took Nigeria 16 years back would have been given a life sentence with hard labour for destroying what took us years to build but here he's being celebrated by you.

In saner climes, such an empty brain wont get near Aso Rock not even as a cleaner.
[b]You come across as one local champion calling the shots in the neck of your woods inhabited by lowlifes. If by "[s]tupid comment such as this", you were referring to my reaction to this thread, then the depth of your stupidity and imbecility is a personal incredulity which is beyond measures. I have been on NL for a while now. Not once (not even when the last election was being debated) did I express support, covertly or overtly, for Buhari. All my posts, and indeed, those who know me on NL can vouch for that. So, to claim, without any shred of evidence, that "Buhari...here [is] being supported by you [Erelu_Y]" either demonstrates that you made that comment whilst in a state of altered consciousness (which I would gladly pardon) or entirely mentally deranged (for which you have my sympathy). My position on Buhari's (un)electability has been voiced, unequivocally, on NL threads. What you said about Buhari being prevented in saner climes from ever holding any public offices, I have said repeatedly on NL. The principle indeed applies. And, it is in the same vein that I maintained in my response to this thread (and I still hold, unwaveringly and unapologetically) that in saner climes, this lady, "ON ACCOUNT OF HER NEFARIOUS ACTIVITIES IN THE AVIATION MINISTRY - SHOULD BE COOLING HER FEET IN JAIL, AND BARRED FOR LIFE FROM HOLDING PUBLIC OFFICE." I am not reneging on my assertion. Until Nigerians start to hold every public office holder accountable for their actions, Nigeria, in all its ramifications, would never be back on track.[/b]

PhonesRe: Cybercrime: Doing This On The Internet Can Send You To Prison – NCC by EreluY(f):
boman2014:
The Nigerian communications Commission (NCC) has warned Nigerians that
the cyberspace is not aan venue to promote hatred as there are laws guiding
against such.


[img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt7r8r2k2c5a5.f7385cd0.jpg[/img]

Mr Tony Ojobo


This was made known by Mr Tony Ojobo, the director of public affairs of the
commission on Monday, February 22 during a discussion on what the new
media has to do with cybercrime act.


The programme which was part of the week-long Social Media Week was
geared towards examining the issue of cybercrime and how it affects the
new media.

Ojobo who was part of the discussant explained that a lot of laws were
available which internet users have failed to familiarize themselves with. He
noted that people misuse the cyberspace by making xenophobic, comments,
hate speech which are contrary to what is allowed.


He cited an example that if a person receives contents that contained child
pornography and shares with other persons using the internet; the person is
likely to go to prison even though he did not produce the material.
Speaking with naij.com, The NCC public affairs director encouraged the use
of the cyberspace with sense.


“Developed countries don’t want regulation of the internet but it is necessary
in developing countries to prevent cyber-crimes. Nigerians are not reading
the law which is why media users, bloggers and journalist are sometimes
sent to prison when they don’t get their facts right.”


Ojobo explained that the laws were not there to deny Nigerians their freedom
of expression but to prevent people from inciting hatred.

CultureRe: Photos From The Burial Of The Olubadan, Samuel Odulana, In Oyo State by EreluY(f): 10:16pm On Feb 19, 2016
In traditional Yoruba culture and religious pantheon, the idea of giving a crowned Oba public funeral is anathema. It simply never happened. When I was in High School in the 1980s when all pupils in my school mandatorily studied non-examined Yoruba Cultural Anthropology (Asa ati Orisa Ile Yoruba), I remember learning about First Class Yoruba Obas (Ooni, Alaafin, Osimawe, Ataoja, Deji, Omonoba, Olu, etc) and how these are patriarchally and genealogically linked. Olubadan didn't make that list. In fact, Ibadan people had Baales and not Obas, historically. This would seem to explain why in Ibadan, an Oba is given public funerary rites, contrary to what is obtainable elsewhere in Yoruba land.

My question is, if the Ibadan people came to the Obaship scene quite late, why not follow the ancient Yoruba tradition - exemplified by the events that recently surrounded the demise of the Late Ooni of Ife?
CultureRe: Olubadan-In-Council Declares Eze Ndigbo Illegal by EreluY(f):
All the Igbos I have ever known - (I am married to one who accepts this claim) and watch out if you do not already know this - all have two unifying attitudes - selfishness and greediness. These are exhibited as follows.

First, what is theirs (e.g. Igbo land) is exclusively theirs (e.g. Non Igbos can't have a break through in Igbo land). For example, how many non Igbos are employed as lecturers at universities based in the East? Compare this with how many Igbos have established themselves and their kinsmen at UI, UNILAG, OAU, LASU, etc. This is one of the things Akintola was angry about during the 1960s.

Secondly, what is jointly owned (e.g. Nigeria) is best personalised (e.g. Let the whole Nigeria be personalised and dominated by the Igbos).
CultureRe: Olubadan-In-Council Declares Eze Ndigbo Illegal by EreluY(f): 9:09pm On Feb 19, 2016
OPCNAIRALAND:
In Yoruba culture an Oba has a spiritual root. During his coronation he is taken to a shrine where certain rites are performed to divinity, the deities of heaven and of earth and also the ancestors. After that he is consecrated using palm frond and water. This is the covenant! This act is uniform throughout Yorubaland.

Our Obas are not elected at a village meeting, there is no voting or constitutional power conferred on an Oba. There is no term of office. His crown is ancient and so is the throne and the Oriki of his seat of power. He was not created by a white man or any foreign authority. These are all aspects of how an Eze gets power. Very strange to us in Yorubaland.

We do not, and we refuse to accept as king on Yorubaland or even recognize as king anyone that was never instituted with a divine order of priestly covenant.

An Eze does not posess a covenant order and therefore must not be accepted in our land as a ruler of any order of society.

Holyman3:
I guess the Obas and other kings were thrown down from Heaven. They started at a time as well.
The point here is not when anyone started, it is that they have their kings now.
There are over 500k Igbos in Oyo State, Enough to form a country of their own. So, yep, they are entitled to have their leader and call it whatever they like as long as they obey the laws of the host community.
From pre-historic times, people have been migrating, settling down, integrating, naturalising, inter-marrying, etc. If we take the Jews as an example. They've always been on the move and integrating, hence, you have American-Jews, British-Jews, Polish-Jews, etc. When you move into another's territory (even in the world of the animals) you integrate and by fate you could rise to the helms of affairs. What is untenable anywhere in the world is to migrate into a territory and set up a parallel dynasty. Yes, this had happened historically (e.g. the invasion of the Americas and Australia) by the Europeans. Such a move, even in centuries past, was vehemently resisted. Why? Because, it's just unacceptable, more so in the 21st CE. If the Igbos (and by the way, my OH is one) must set up their own dynasties, it should be East of the Niger, not in another's territory.

Hollaniyii:
Eze, Oba,Igwe, Emir etc This titles are for traditional rulers in their domain; does that mean the Igbo cannot be under a non Igbo traditional ruler?
My reading of Achebe's "Things Fall Apart", in the 1980s when I read the book in secondary school, is that in traditional Igbo society, each clan or compound had a compound/clan leader but not kings as obtainable in other African cultures (e.g. Yorubas, Hausas, etc.). Suddenly, Igbo villages and hamlets in the 1980s started declaring themselves as autonomous communities with self-acclaimed traditional "rulers" laying claims to obnoxious and utterly despicable titles.

Whenever Buhari takes charge of Nigeria, the Naira falls to the lowest ebb, never to rise again. Check the status of the Naira before and after Bhari took over in the 1980s. Seems this is Nigeria's epistemic luck.

[size=18pt]Ignorance is bliss[/size]


If this animal was captured live and kept in captivity, the reality is that it secretes glands used in the perfume industry. The perineal gland secretion, civet, has been the basic ingredient for many perfumes for hundreds of years and is still being used today although on the decline since the creation of synthetic musk. African civets have been kept in captivity and milked for their civet which is diluted into perfumes.[size=18pt] They can secrete three to four grams of civet per week and it can be sold for just under five hundred dollars per kilogram[/size]. Go and google it. The WSPA says that Chanel, Cartier, and Lancôme have all admitted to using civet in their products and that laboratory tests detected the ingredient in Chanel No. 5.

Of all the gospellers, John is the most hideous. His version of the gospel came (c. 90–110 CE) after Mark's, Matthew's and Luke's versions of the gospel.

If you are to bring back to life the author of the book of revelations and drop him in a place like Dubai, the author will tell you he is in heaven .

It's funny how people living in the 21st century century still believe them.
[size=14pt]When a student made an excellent contribution in class, my English teacher (back in the 1980's) would say "that's poignantly articulated" and I say the same to you today, sir.

If you take John the supposed writer of Revelation to Monaco today, he would say that's the heaven I'm describing. Sociologists have described religion as a diversionary tool (some sort of altered consciousness) which takes the mind of the proletarians off their current predicament often in the hands of the bourgeoisies.[/size]
