TravelRe: Mistaken Of Identification by Eriokanmi:
Bro, sorry for your ordeal. Pray hard if truly you're innocent of the offence and the story is real. Leon Brown and brother, Maccollum prayed hard and God answered their prayers at a time they were about being put to death after spending over 30 years behind bars and on a death row in a NC prison for an offence they knew nothing about. The stupid racist white judge who handed them the jail term blocked their release several times , even behind and attacked the independent companies who showed interests in their case and were ready to fund the case by appealing. Eventually, God saw them through and were set free. Maccollum had apparently become a prayer warrior while in prison, almost even losing faith in secular world but had his strong faith in God. He couldn't believe his eyes when DNA evidence proved them innocent. They were awarded millions of dollars in damages. Have faith in God. I don't know anybody, neither do I have any power but I know someone who never fails...Almighty God is His name and only those who believe in Him, He saves and those who ignorantly say He doesn't exist keep living in denial. All the best bro. Your case is not ordinary but if you believe in God, you're a few steps to your victory.
Music/RadioRe: The Top Artists Majorly Involved In The Promotion Of Nigerian Music To The World by Eriokanmi:
True. I remember an evening in 2019 as i was walking down the road leading to Miami Beach and i heard davido's song at a club. I was thinking the club was operated by a black or Nigerian. To satisfy my suspicion, I entered the place, only to see full whites there. They were dancing like no man's business. In PA, there is a group from a tribe called pensylvanian dutch, who tagged themselves TeamDavido

But buhari never thought of proscribing them terrorists like he quickly did ipob. Terrorists bring down planes which bandits had done, they kill which bandits had done. They're mainly an Islamic sect like bandits, they also behead and kidnap like bandits. Meanwhile we know they're the same boko haram but they still keep lying by calling them all manners of names. These inequality and injustice will break Nigeria faster than anticipated. May God rest the souls of the dead.

PoliticsRe: Oshiomhole: Most Governors Who Messed Up Since 1999 Are Youths by Eriokanmi:
You meant those imposed youths by godfathers? No sensible youth would behave like Yahaya bello does, the guy who was imposed on the good people of kogi nah. Is seyi makinde not a youth? What of Donald Duke who became governor at a youthful age? They weren't imposed on their people by you guys. No godfather to hamper them. Tambuwal wasn't imposed on anyone as apc governor. I wouldn't know if he's still wearing the same spirit he exhibited in his first tenure now that he's joined the pdp but as apc governor, I saw development in sokoto...these were governors who did well as youths. You can only perform as a leader when the masses put you there because you'd only be answerable to them.
You need to see the way they're lashing out at ogun governor. I don't know why the people of ogun behave as if they didn't know the arrangement which brought dapo abiodun to power. Any youths who rose to power on the wings of godfatherism will always be answerable to them. Ogun don enter one chance from day one. Tinubu won't allow that guy to do anything, same way he's hampering sanwoolu, osun governor and kayode fayemi. All of them govern their respective states from lagos and take orders from Tinubu. They don't stay in their states of jurisdiction.

Any youth voted into power by the people would do well.

Leave our brown roofs alone and worry about the way your people are killing their leaders needlessly. Worry about your botched Ebube Agu. Also worry about your Ebonyi governor who speaks from both sides of his mouth. I'm watching him live on channelstv now spewing trash as usual. Thanks to our leaders. South west would have been worst than south east and other parts of Nigeria by now.

I spoke to him asking questions about where he is from and his religion without any sentiment. Corpers from the south especially rivers, bayelsa and delta state are the most friendly and anti-tribalistic set of people you meet in nysc camp
Yes..Ijaw, Edo and other minority ethic groups in the south and some parts of the North like kaduna South aren't discriminating.

Alaye just listen to your self ....shame no dey catch you?


An average ibadan man is lazy and poor ....all they do is to be feeding on the rent of these dilapidated buildings that was probably built by their fore father's

Yuu guys aren't preserving any shit ...the truth is that there's no kaluba to renovate those buildings period

I lived in ibadan as a teenager for 5years ....so I'm sure of what I'm saying
5 years indeed. Maybe you probably were confined in one place as a teen.
Next time you visit, go to the following popular ibadan men's family houses..

Late ajimobi( his family house is as old as man yet he didn't touch it despite his wealth). Its located at oke ado

Late lam adesina , former gov of the state has their own in molete

Gov Ladoja's family house too

Current olubadan and the past ones family houses.

Former governor olunloyo, dad of the popular female blogger had their own in molete, close to Late adedibu house.

They dared not pull them down else , they'd be changed to court.

Yes, homeless and lazy people living in those houses does not mean the descendants don't have money to replace the so called brown roofs. They cherish it a lot. Mufu lanihun...if you truly lived in ibadan, you know or may have heard about him. Despite his wealth he lived in his agbo ile, same brown roof.

neyoohhh:
This is no preservation of heritage, it's poverty.

Are iron roofs a Yoruba heritage or just the material available during the build?


Condolences to those who lost their lives.
I don't agree with you.

Go to Oyo Alaafin and see those buildings and rich men and women who rose from there, including bode Thomas...yes same bode Thomas of sturulere. As someone who grew up in Ibadan I know a lot of them. The following bindings and agbo-iles are covered by brown roofs today and those who rose from those family houses are super rich and famous.

Late gov Ajimobi's family brown roofed house at oke ado ibadan
Chief omololu olunloyo, same dad of the popular female blogger at Molete
Gov Ladoja's family house
Late Gov Lam Adesina in molete, ibadan
Late Chief Awolowo family house at oke Bola ibadan where he also built his upstairs along the road
Adebisi Idi Ikan, the richest man in the whole of Nigeria in his time at Idi Ikan ibadan. The 99 room house is still there today despite the affluence the family was surrounded with. I can go on and on. They rather left them untouched for generations to come rather than pull it down. Those who tried to do that ended up in court.

I haven't even mentioned the olubadan's Palace, the man who rides in limousine .We yorubas are synonymous with that. Go to Benin, you'd find a similar trend there. Whereas in places like South East, you hardly can find such. They'd been pulled down. We yorubas aren't like that. We protect our heritage. By the time the Europeans return those bronze heads stolen from us, Nigerians would be wowed. Benin even had a larger percentage of those artefacts. Whereas,other tribes don't have such. Those bronze heads are over 600 years old before stolen by Europeans in the 18th century.

ThEGodFaThEr106:
Yinmu! You think you're talking to "Johnny just come" abi? For your info, I was born and bred in Ogun state, lusada to be precise. I have Yoruba cousins and relatives too, in fact my extended family members are Omonile and we all grew up inside the same Agbo-ile. Those brown roofs are a display of poverty. Poverty runs in south west and every region in Nigeria. So quit making those excuses.
I grew up in Ibadan , also schooled there. No single politician, including late Ajomobi, whose family house ( agbo-ile) I don't know. Ajimobi's family house is at oke ado opposite liberty stadium junction. He even built a mosque there and an ICT Centre. Would you say someone like him couldn't have pulled down the buildings and erected modern ones? I'm not sure you're a yoruba person. Stop saying what you don't know. Where you lived or were born was a typical village in ogun and we have such typical building as found around there in virtually every region in Nigeria today. That's not what I'm saying or type of building I'm talking about. Omololu olunloyo, former oyo governor had their family houses at molete. They didn't pull them down despite their affluence. They're a heritage not a sign or display of poverty as you wrongly posited. Go to Mapo Hall, the oldest parliamentarian Hall in the whole of Nigeria. It's in ibadan. It was recently they renovated it with billions of naira. The hall had been there for centuries. Despite renovating it, the roof was left untouched. Is that too a display of poverty?
There was a man called Adebisi Idi Ikan who was a wealthy man in his time( Google it) He built a house of 99 rooms, the biggest single house in Nigeria as at that time. The house is still there till date, standing. The roofs weren't touched, despite the wealthy status of the family...would you also call that a sign of poverty? Go to Alaafin of oyo's Palace or olubadan's Palace at oja oba in ibadan, the buildings are as old as man yet they ride in limousine...are their brown roofs a sign or display of poverty. In some tribes , those buildings would have been pulled down

They left and protected Those house on purpose. As brown and old as the roofs are, they're not leaking. Those who wanted to build new houses moved to places like bodija and ring road to do so. Anyone who pulls down the house or removes the roof would end up in court. They call it agbo-ile and are proud of them even though the rich amongst them don't live there .

The heritage of yoruba people. Those brown roofs had been in place for centuries, at a time when only one % of Nigerian houses were covered by bamboos. Look at those upstairs...those could only be found in ancient cities in Yorubaland. I've not found such elsewhere in Nigeria in such a large qty. Certainly, African civilisation started in Yorubaland especially, Oyo

Oga Methuselah, change your mindset and you'll live a stress free life. Sorry, try make money, because it's only the poor folks that always shout Attack attack. When you start making decent money, your perspective on life starts to change.
There are hundreds of ways one can get stroke, and there's nothing like attack there.
Anyway na wetin you believe. If you believe in the so called attacks, you'll eventually become a victim.
A boy in my area almost died from Edema cos he swallowed an effervescent tablet cos he thought it was sweets. People were shouting attack, I blamed it on loose parenting. You don't leave such things around little children.
SMH! Small boy can't recognise a charm, he's now calling it ugwu leaf...that's my adage in response to your narrative.
