Thank you jare Erelu. Agba ko ni tan lorilę Its appalling how people can distort history, even in the face of realities. They've altered Wikipedia several times to suit their lies since the Oba had set the record straight, for whatever reasons.

I think why they had not attacked oba akiolu who once came to speak the truth was because he's too strong for them. You cannot distort history for political reasons. It's just like saying fulanis owned ilorin, no be craze be that? Yorubas owned and still owns ilorin, same as Lagos. Binis can't lay claim on ownership of the current lagos state. It's yorubaland till the end of time but that doesn't mean history would be turned upside down. The so called balogun of lagos, by the name Oshodi should tell us the truth, how his great grandfather coined Oshodin, an edo word to mean Oshodi just to seek relevance and ownership of lagos, same way the Dosunmu family claimed they owned lagos by changing Docemo to Dosunmu whats the meaning of Docemo or dosunmu, a white man's name or oshodin( oshodi) an edo word in yoruba?

They altered wiki almost every minute , haba! They even said Iga means gaa in yoruba . How is that related? Iga, idumagbo, idumota, idungantan, Eko, etc, are all edo words. Nobody is obtaining a trophy on top of this so everyone should rest.

I remember them saying tinubu hails from Lagos, despite the obvious. Ki lęfę fi gbogbo iyęn she? Even the pa jakande's family we belong isn't from lagos. We were originally from Igbomina in kwara. We won't lie on top of that cos the history is there. My granddad hailed from akoko side, a yoruba speaking town of northern part of edo state, just less than 2 miles away from isua akoko. I can't come out tomorrow to vie for any political office in lagos and lie, neither would i do same
Should edo people say make i come be governor. I can only claim to be from lagos by the virtue of birth and the fact that mama is from baba jakande's side.

Check all these liars stressing themselves on top of nothing, they're not indigenous people of Lagos.Make una rest abeg.

Nothing like peace. The FG knows what to do in order to achieve peace all over the country. Free leaders of agitators and call them to a round table for a discussion and assure them of a sense of belonging, finish. Leadership no hard and to achieve peace is so easy. Giragira no be anything.

God knows best, may Yar'Adua's soul rest in peace. A leader we never had. Niger-delta wouldn't have been so peaceful today without him.

McLizbae:
So sad! Nigerians are fast becoming victims everywhere on this God's green earth including Nigeria.

I hope they didn't participate in electing wrong leaders before running away.

Last week, I asked of a guy who had a house at Iju area, very young and promising. He was among those shouting emilokan upandan. When I asked my wife about him, she said she's relocated to the UK, sold his house , his Toyota camry and other things to raise money.

Why run away, after joining them in destroying Nigeria by electing a wrong leader? O maa to ye everybody

I knew the boy must be a black. A cursed race. Pretending to be hollier than the prophet.
They should quickly depot him to his country of origin to go and preach.

Listen to him..search for his race. That alone would put your mentality in its right place

Padipadi:
It's actually dubious and fraudulent for some guys to do that. If you wan fûck, be patient. Marry the girl first & open bulala on her for life. To fûck sef dey taya married people nowadays cos of stress!
E ye lu awon omolomo ni jibiti obo and you won't marry them. Eyin naa a bimo obinrin o!
You sef go born females, stop promising girls marriage in order to fûck them! There's karma!

And if it's toto that's hungrying you, go meet olosho, hook up or any pay as you go vendor!

Please tell them. If you know in your heart that you won't marry her, don't defraud her cos the law of karma no get human face oo. Why even have sex before you marry her sef? She wan run away nii? What belongs
to you would stay. Same applies to ladies defrauding guys.

Married people easily get tired of sex. At times, caressing would suffice and both couple would hit the bed and be snoring. Everything even has limit jare. When I made a comment here sometime ago that I may not touch my wife for months, some said I was impotent, lol. Wetin I don do,do and do for years which had produced promising, intelligent and God-fearing children. Na me even deflour her sef. Our priority is to raise our kids with fear of God and be happy in life as a family. When the nature calls for it, we do it.

Even food sef no dey appeal to me like dat. Once I skip my breakfast, I may not eat again until it becomes brunch. I must work and put food at the table. Sexx this sexx that, na wetin?...Gbogbo nnkan lakoko wa fun.

Any guy that picks annoyance anytime a girl says no sex should be seen as a fraudster in any relationship by every sensible girl. He's just looking for the opportunity to defraud her body and dump her and begins to run her down after he's had his way. When he buys or showers you with gifts, be cautious because he will use it as a point of reference and proof of his love for you, anytime you refuse him sex. Keep such gifts for the day he'd utter such a statement and throw the gift at him and call off the relationship thereafter.

No guy would want to start having sex with you before marriage, if truly he loves you. He'd definitely wait because it's a lifelong enjoyment...so, why the hurry?

Wickedtruths:
The Oba of Benin is known for being a loose-talker. The problem with such character flaw is that people will tear you to shreds because you have used your mouth to give them the opportunity to do so.

Another thing is the retributive angle. Last election, Bini people made it a favourite habit to insult Yoruba traditional and political leaders. They decided to stupidly follow those senseless yamrees who have no future. Some see this as an opportunity to reciprocate the unkind gestures of those misguided Bini people.

You may be right

Jedtam:
Lol, dey play. Maybe you meant 'hut".

It's actually possible. Though I'm not his fan. Our artistes male their money through shows overseas. This boy had gone for shows which were well attended overseas. If you made 200k usd from 2 shows, that's about 230mil naira. You'd build a good house at those places he mentioned. A plot of land in otta is 10mil, abule egba is around 50mil. Na Plot of land dey expensive,followed by interiors.

noskcid:
I’m not normal but I get 30 mansions.

Na wetin I won hear he don talk so

Gbam... and he said he bought it because of tomorrow. Lobatan. Empty barrel makes the loudest noise.

richiemcgold:
The woman should've just let the stupid boy go since she has already marked his face. Trying to struggle with the boy was a very wrong decision that eventually cost her life.

Women would always be Women as you know. They'd hardly have that kind of patience. My wife can go to any length over a missing 1k, which isn't even up to her subscription to watch telenovela. They're like that. What a sad story. The terror-minded boy should be given the appropriate treatment he deserves.

eliwa47:
Go and check it, Lunatics is among the youth, They don't have anything to think about thank drugs!
The list of the drugs are countless........

This is very correct. Police don't arrest them anymore. They easily identify them . They'd just stop them, collect money and leave them. They abuse drugs openly, smoke week like no man's business.

For Rewane, who used to make comments that encourage the apc administration each tike on channelstv to be saying this, then it calls for a great concern.

This is a reason I prefer a military rule. Every government has its own advantages and disadvantages. Just look at tinubu who pretended to be a lover of democracy, shouting at the military government that time and ran into a self imposed exile, is doing right now. We never knew hebwas fighting for his own interest back then all in the name if NADECO, instead if fighting for the masses. Na yacht remain for him agenda now after owning 3 solid jets.

I leave the matter to everyone to judge, whether tinubu was actually fighting for the masses during the military era by saying we wanted democracy or he was fighting for his pocked with what's happen all over Nigeria today.

I think the topic should have read How Old is your Mobile Line? cos people have replaced sim cards several times in the past due to various reasons.

Anyway, my line is Almost 21 years old

Why lamenting? Na ghost write am? The electorate will learn when the time is right.

emmaxman:
Hello houz, I want to run a visitor visa myself. Pls I need the guide of gurus in the houz. The dos and the don’ts. Few years ago, I run a student visa myself but I was denied in the ground that I don’t have sufficient money to substain myself. Now I don marry and I want run visitor. Abeg help your brother. Do the balance in the account really mater??

You don tell us why dem refuse you so, work on that. Not only does the Balance in the account matter, but how the account is run in terms of performance...how frequent are both credit and debit transactions done in that account? If you have up to 4000CAD dollar as your credit balance, you're good to go for a maximum stay of 1-2 weeks.

Again, how robust is your travel history?

How solid is your tie to Nigeria in case you don't have a convincing travel history?

You'd need to do your homework on the above. Assess yourself first, before applying. No need to rush.

NB
You don't have to have people in Canada to obtain a canadian visa, same applies to usa.

Good luck.

You people are missing things here

Is not about submitting same time, Month or day but when the biometric was done.


You can submit same time and same day but once the biometric capturing date is not the same then you don't expect response same time

Not only when biometric was done. The VO considers a lot of factors. Travel history plays a major role in their assessment. I know of someone with usa valid visa and good travel history to other destinations who submitted late October. Passport was requested late November, barely one month after submission online.

modskiller:
Please avoid Egypt Air if possible, not getting good reviews about them recently.

Egypt Air can only render unsatisfactory service from Nigeria to Egypt. Once you get to Egypt AirCanada or any of the reputable airlines would take over, via their star alliance agreement. It's always a wonderful experience when you connect flight to any of the north American destinations. Its only between Nigeria and wherever you're connecting flight from, that some of these airlines maltreat us and its because of the bad leadership in place.

I once boarded same Turkish Airlines that has won several international airline awards from Lagos to Istanbul and they served us a pasta instead of good meal indicated on their menu. Nigerians protested but what could we have done? Some of their flights coming to Nigeria would be making sound like moluę in the air. Once you connect another flight from Istanbul, you'd see the difference in service

Shameful. I'm sure this will hit the fifa homepage soon and the entire world would be laughing at us once again.

But what happened to our indigenous coaches? Where's samson siasia? The unfortunate fifa ban would soon be over on him, if not over already. He'd do a much better job, given his antecedents. We can owe our indigenous chaches and they'd still carry on in the spirit of nationhood and oneness. All these white parasites have nothing good to offer. Worst case, they carry their baggage and leave anytime. It's when they want to steal that the NFF would be shopping for foreign coaches. Awon ole

Ayzio:
Hello everyone

Please advise me
i have a multiple entry visiting visa to canada, in my letter of introduction and application of entry visa the dates I indicated were 18th September 2023 to return 20th October 2023 but couldn’t fly because my travel agent sold to us a fake ticket. Now I have raised another money to fly this December

My question now is do I need to write another application letter or not?

Do I need to write another application letter for the new dates ?

I do not want any issues at the POE

Thank you

Warning ⚠️

Please and please, stop patronising agents for any travel engagements, be it for your visa of any kind or travel tickets. Awoof dey run belle as people would always say. I guess the low ticket rate enticed you. I don't want to advertise any website here but you can DIY for your airline tickets. If you want to get a cheap ticket, buy it early in order to take advantage of this. This is what I always do, including local flights for years. You know what, I do take some risks at times and I'd not encourage anyone to do same cos I am a frequent traveller. I'd book my ticket early and pay. I always go for the flexible ones such that, I can seek a refund of my money in case I don't want to travel again. Some would attract just a few percentage for cancellation, which is fine compared to when paying so much to get a ticket only a few days to my departure.

Alternatively, if I feel I'd still like to keep the ticket as my plan has changed, I'd just leave it open since my ticket is valid for one year. I'd watch the trend and use it before the difference is much. I'd not have to pay much whenever I need to use it.

That said. Concerning your matter, there's no problem at all. Just book your flight via a legit route for your desired travel dates. When you get to POE, what concerns those guys there is whether you have your return ticket, hotel accommodation or veritable place you're staying during your visit if you have people over there and that you have adequate money to sustain you during your stay. Once all these are in order, you're good to go.

Canada does something which anyone who has been obtaining their visa before can attest to. Even if your programme in Canada had passed while your application was going through processing, so long as you are qualified for a visa, it will be issued and you can use it anytime, within the validity period...wouid the guys at the POE now ask IRCC why they had to issue a visa despite the expiry of the applicant's mission in Canada during application processing? No. So, worry less. Just ensure you had all I told you above handy, you'd be fine.

⚠️ Again, people should stop patronising agents and I have my reasons. I also read a lot of posts here. Agents have destroyed a lot of applicants' future travels here. Many may have received a life ban without them knowing. Imagine an agent doctoring a bank's statement for an applicant and the applicant was asked to re-present the same bank statement after being detected by the embassy. Even in my office, I can easily detect a doctored document with a software and if i could do this, the Embassy would do much more in fishing out fake papers.

Many applicants are even much more knowledgeable about visa application documentation than many agents but because of laziness, they always engage agents.

Yes and yes! It depends on how you developed yourself as an individual. I've seen a secondary school student who wrote and passed ICAN while graduates kept repeating the ican professional courses. A secondary shool certificate holder can rule a nation and that's why our constitution pegged the minimum requirement for president to WAEC. All the BScs, MScs/MAs and PHDs are irrelevant in this regard.

In summary, Education is a thing of the mind and not the amount of certificates you've garnered.

ezekins:
I have been saying it in as much as the government of nigeria has irrationally decided to float naira, we can wake up one day to see that official rate had gone to #2000. If they have sense let them stop naira float. This government lack ideas

We lagosians knew why we didn't vote tinubu despite being from the state. Na those wey dey outside fall for his lies and propaganda about the development of Lagos. Even the tax he introduced ended up favouring him as he employed his own company to collect it. He only declares whatever amount he feels like and nobody dares question him, except that person is tired of life. But we warned them.

He didn't even score that amount of votes awarded to him but its OK. Elections are over already.

Where are those shouting Tinubuuuuul?

SouthEastFacts:
We are not surprised, Yoruba people are not good at economics and national leadership.

Again, no president who has ever excluded Igbo brains can make any impact.

You can cry all you want, but it's what it is.

The two worst presidents in Nigeria ever are Buhari (2nd) and Tinubu (1st).

Both excluded Igbos.

Now, check out OBJ, Yar'Adua and GEJ.

Igbos and Northerners understand economics better than Yorubas.

It's a FACT.

Only fools will argue this.

We have already seen what Yoruba best economics brains are capable of:

- Kemi Adeosun 😂😂

- Cardoso 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

- Wale Edun🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

- Fowler 😭😭😭

Na OBJ understand my people pass. Fulanis don't regard us at all and our leaders caused the nonsense. They'd never learn. Only obasanjo balanced the his appointment when in government and his administration witnessed huge prosperity. Even though crude was selling below what the apc is enjoying today but keeping quiet, he was building our reserves and naira gained and remained stable throughout his tenure. In fact, banks went on leave on fx sale because the difference betwern the official
and black market rates were so close.

Tribalism is a menace to every nation's progress.

Faiththatworks:
Isn't it too early for some people to start complaining and critising everything
Anyone who reads comments in this platform would think that Nigeria is collapsing
It seems there are some people who have decided to be bitter at every news in this country
When you repeatedly go online and start abusing everyone because no one sees you,you eventually become a sad,depressing and angry person.
Those that keep lying to themselves that they can separate their online personality which is always abusive and the lifes they live at home or at work are deceiving themselves
If they are not careful they will start suffering symptoms of being bipolar
Coming to the issue at hand,I daresay the government should go one step further and release what each state and local government has collected in the past six months
From the figures above,it is clear that the states and local government have collected more money combined than the Federal government but the question we should ask is what are they doing with all this money

Until our people learn to leave shouting Tinubu this Tinubu that and start asking serious questions from our State governors and Local Government Chairmen and women,I am sorry we are just going round in circles
A state like Delta state should be the Dubai of the south south with all the billions collected but the people there will leave their Governor and start shouting Tinubu
Na wah,our people have seriously brainwashed into thinking that all their problem is Tinubu while those local criminals are busy looting them blind
Tufiakwa!!!!!!

You are right. We should ask lagos state for the reckless spending and contracting ordinary Tinubu's frame which a friend bought for 4k for his office in traffic for such huge amount.
Again, he Spent N10.4billion in Three Months To Run His Office, Another N11billion On ‘Servicing Of Meetings’. We are already asking questions, don't worry.

God1000:
Which Nigerian youths?

Nigerian youths are simply not ready/serious for anything, all they do is insulting each other everyday, defend the bad behavior of our corrupt leaders and make excuses for them because of tribal affiliation.

I have seen this from Jonathan to Buhari and now Tinubu, the so-called educated ones are the worst, they are good in gaslighting

The good thing is that we are all affected by the current economic hardship.

Without unity and love, we are doomed

Tell them

They're still sleeping chief Obasanjo, while those who can't endure the hardship unleashed on themselves by voting along sentiment lines are japaing. As dem com japa finish, dem com dey regret leaving Nigeria after selling houses and cars as job no com dey Canada and UK. To cone back is now wahala cos nothing to fall back on.

Back then after the elections when i said they'd learn in a hard way, they didn't seem to understand what I meant..th9se of us who grew up in lagos know better about Tinubu's persona and that's why he dodnt win here. You ain't seen nothing yet.

happney65:
Money wey I go use buy land for Lagos,he better make I go use am carry olosho for pekas.

Lagos and Abuja. Those two Federal Capital cities. You just can't say.

Getting a house in lagos is a privilege. Here's is where things are happening . But before you buy that land, go to lands and do your findings. If its legit, ibtain your C of O. No Jupiter dares pull down your house. If they do, they must pay you back all the money you spent building the house after evaluating it and get you a place elsewhere, which you have a right to either accept or reject until you are satisfied with the place given.

Wickedtruths:
The Oba of Benin just dey collect free education left and right

Can one say what the oba said was wrong or he didn't go to school?

They were just overheating everything, which wasn't even necessary. The below was what need to be taken home, from what the oba had said...

Eko (now lagos island) was once a bini's territory. Which was a fact.

He also said, just a fraction of lagos( Eko which is now Lagos Island), not the entire lagos of today. Which was another fact.

I think that was clear enough. The oba didn't say bini owned lagos as maintained by some olodos who just wanted to achieve some relevance. It would be foolish of anyone to say bini owned or created the today's lagos state. Where would that person put the aworis who occupied the vast part of the mainland, the Ijebus who occupied the ikorodu, down to Epe and the Eguns? He was referring to Lagos Island and he made this clear. Till today, bini signs and relics are still on lagos island and inside the oba of lagos Palace . Some words like Iga, eko, idumagbo, idunganran, etc are still there as streets and compound till date. I really don't know where the man had gone wrong.
Once that oba died, they'd take him to bini to Bury. All the regalia of traditional rulers on the lagos island till today, and other parts of today's lagos by extension, including their caps, are similar to those worn by bini chiefs and their oba till today.

That eko (now lagos island) was once bini territory doesn't make it a bini land. Yoruba owns it, 100%. All the needless arguments should just stop. They're misinterpreting this man jare.

Release Kanu and there would be freedom and peace in the south east. I don't like the way they kill our soldiers and police there anyhow. The more they keep him there, the more the military and police would be brought down. Our law enforcement officers are some people's bread winners, husbands, children, uncles , cousins , brothers, etc.

The federal govt knows what to do to restore peace in Nigeria if they truly want peace but they don't care. Same applies to the boko haram that kill and maim everyday and herdsmen killing people in the north west. No amount of money could be too much, to buy peace

Ezeama400:
Nice one. She's a global figure!


Just visit this thread and see how miscreants are dancing and jubilating because Tinibu begged to meet King Charles..

They were celebrating like children celebrating children's day



Smh for Tinubu rodents

https://www.nairaland.com/7926930/president-tinubu-meets-king-charles

His purpose of meeting with the king is called an op-ed, nothing more. No meaning bilateral talks.

Abba moro...hmmm. i remember those young Nigerian this man scammed and sent to their early graves with the job aptitude tests after collecting their money paid to ontain the form which was meant to be given out free of charge. Many of these politicians would start reaping the benefits of their wickedness right from earth.

Abba moro was one of the reasons Nigerians dumped Jonathan.

They're doing press up behind northern Nigeria

Badadvisor:
Op is stupid but dude you're mentally lame also, slapped by a lady and you didn't treat her fvck up instantly because you wan sell market?
You're not serious.

You have to act stupid at times else, you'd not get to your destination. She's part of my company's success sories today. Who slap epp gan? She later apologised but months after. There's a proverb which says, if you keep throwing stones at every dog that barks, you'd miss that golden appointment, cos by the time you get there, you could be late and meeting is over. Lobatan
