Residents of Orange Grove, Johannesburg raided the house of a known Nigerian drug dealer, and made an unexpected discovery.
‌
On Sunday morning, a group of residents from Orange Grove, Johannesburg raided the premises of a known drug dealer in the area, and discovered more than contraband.


Sowetan Live reports that the residents forced themselves inside and followed a foul smell, which led them to stained coffins, some with soil still on them.



‌



Police arrived at the scene after the coffins were dragged into the street by shocked residents.

Orange Grove reportedly suffered a wave of raids led by residents recently, who say they are targeting properties they believe have been taken over by migrants.

Coffins found in Biafra man house in south Africa

The lack of primary education has turn most ipob people to stupid and foolish people. I pity their generation. The jealousy they have for north has turn them into mad people. They didnt learn anything from the civil war. When they were almost wipe out of earth with bullet and hunger. I hope they don't make the same mistake twice.

This is what the topic of the thread is talking about... “a woman’s infidelity” why is that hard for you to comprehend.. why are u trying so hard to make it a gender equality problem..?
What is wrong with women these days.??
Wateva discussion that comes up, u guys make it sound like someone is at war with you...everything isnt a gender war....we care about u guys more than u women think... you are our mothers, our sisters, our cousins, our niece, our wives, even our side chics... whateva u win is our win on the long run

Tell her that there is no justification for cheating, if you are not happy in your marriage. You can divorce him and sleeping around if you like. Or look for a better man. Cheating is not justifiable. You either in or out.

Where is she from?
The person who post this should not border to tell us. We already know. by their fruit we shall know them.

Where is she from?

Prettiepearlz:
But it is okay for you men to blame the woman when you cheat right? condemn the cheating, stop facing the gender and acting all sanctimonious because men are far from it.

If u are married u are going to definitely cheat or your husband, if u are not already cheating.. If I'm your husband and I see this defense or excuse. I will quickly run and rush for DNA.

Our pastor, lol

Most of the people condemning this idea. Are also the same people that condemn social media initially but today they practically sleep on social media. Very soon most them will run to access bank to open account. People fear what they don't know, one man's food is another man poison. Lazy youth na to join cult who na know. Lol

The tailor sef get problem, why not give them their cloth when they came to collect it twice? You are there forming moral instructor. See where you ended. Na you use your hand bring wahala for yourself

Will you keep quiet.
Say no to injustice.

Obaseki obey your master before or you will regret later.

LordofNaija:
Obaseki has really cut Oshimole to size, look at Oshiomole's body language in those pics, he can't even look Obaseki in the face. His insistence not to issue a fresh proclamation for constitution of Edo assembly won the war for him. He visited Osho as part of rule 20, "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" Obaseki na man unlike Ambode, the First Elected female governor in Nigeria

Only dull people think like this.

[b][/b]BENINS WERE THE FIRST EDUCATED NIGERIANS

Dr. Samuel Okafor, the Igbo scholar In an article made available to News Express yesterday, Okafor responds to critics of his claims and sets the records straight on great Nigerians, mainly of the past, from various parts of the country. He also explains his motive and suggests the way forward in Igbo-Yoruba relations. Please read on:

I had earlier made a submission stating that the Binis were the first to be exposed to Western education. This very position which I presented was not well received by a lot of my Yoruba brothers who have gone to great lengths to discredit this true historical fact.

Some have even resorted to outright fabrication of history. They have based their own position on sentiments which have no bearing to known historical research. I have thus decided to provide further historical evidences to further substantiate my previous position, because the very essence of historical research is not to belittle any ethnic nationality but to provide a deeper understanding of our history with a view of correcting some wrong pre-conceived notions held or being propagated by some ethnic nationalities.

In historical research, when one disagrees with another position, that person must provide an alternative and completing evidence to the contrary, and also provide references that can be crosschecked for accuracy. My Yoruba brothers have failed to provide the much required evidence. They have simply stated an alternative position without showing that indeed their position on the balance of historical evidence is the one to adopt. This, as one of my great professors, Adiele Afigbo, would put it, is the lazy historical approach to historical research. I would now provide incontrovertible evidence that the Binis were the first to be exposed to Western education.

THE BINIS WERE THE FIRST NIGERIANS EXPOSED TO WESTERN EDUCATION

I would ask that readers google the name, Ohen Okun. Ohen Okun from historical records held in both Benin archives and in the annals of Portuguese history was the Olokun priest of the port town of Ughoton Benin. Oba Esigie the Great, who reigned from 1504 to 1549, sent the Ohen Okun to Portugal as the Ambassador of Benin to the Portuguese Court. While in Portugal, the Portuguese Affonso D. Aveiro remained in Benin as the Portuguese envoy. Ohen Okun was treated with respect while in Portugal. He later returned to Benin and is described as the first known Diplomat of Nigerian origin to Europe.

A BINI MAN WAS THE FIRST NIGERIAN GRADUATE

Let us go further; who was the first known Nigerian graduate? As this issue has generated so much controversy, it is important that I deal with it comprehensively and provide a clear evidence to substantiate my research. Readers, again kindly google the name Olu Atuwatse (Dom Domingo). Olu Atuwatse was the crown prince of the Bini Empire who was sent to Portugal in 1601 for advanced studies by his father, the then reigning Oba. He graduated from the University of Coimbra in 1611. He was the first Nigerian to obtain a European university degree. He later married the daughter of a Portuguese noble, Dona Feirs. Their son Antonio Domingo referred to in Benin history as the Golden Skinned King succeeded him to the throne in 1643.

Antonio Domingo, a Christian who wanted to spread Christianity throughout the Empire, wrote the Pope in 1652 asking for Missionary assistance. This is the oldest letter written in Nigeria. I think this lays to rest which ethnic nationality produced the first educated Nigerians. If required, I would provide other historical research to substantiate my position further. I ask my Yoruba brothers to provide the same.

Dr Okafor

Dr. Okafor u are a man of truth and a great researcher. Thank God you are not a Bini man. People would have think otherwise. Even Oba of Lagos have told them on different occasions but they keep shying away from truth. Pls kindly ask them who is the father of oduduwa, the founder of ife. Thank you sir, may your days be long.

TAO11:
You're right my brother!

Even if arguably the whole populace (i.e. every non-royal Tom, Dick, and Harry of Benin kingdom then) spoke another language (i.e. Edo); there is substantial historical evidence indicating that Yoruba was the official language of the then Benin royal court.


*The first is that:

According to Omo N'Oba N'Edo Erediauwa, in his "Benin-Ife Connection, 2004", young Eweka (born and raised in Benin kingdom in a Benin family) was born dumb in his early days. Erediauwa noted that Eweka's very first words (having won an opponent in a game of "ayò" or "akhue" ) was an exclamation in excitement "in his father's tongue" saying "OWOMIKA"

In other words, the young prince uttered his very first words in Yoruba language --- obviously and certainly the language he had always heard as he was growing up in Benin kingdom.


*The second historical evidence, which is very crucial, is that:

The Obas of Benin (even until as recent as 1937) considered themselves as part of the Yoruba household --- In fact, they attended meetings and conferences of Yoruba Obas, in Yorubaland, where the language of the proceedings was mutually intelligible --- Yoruba language.

The report of the first conference of Yoruba chiefs held at Oyo on 31 March and 1 April 1937, notes in its introduction as follows:


"The chiefs were seated in horse-shoe formation with the Oni of Ife, as head of the town from which all Yoruba have traditionally sprung, at the centre, and the Alafin of Oyo at the western and the Oba of Benin at the eastern end, an arrangement which gave general satisfaction."


See the attached screenshot below for "a sketch of the seating arrangement" as contained in the report.


--- Refer to: "Conference of Yoruba Chiefs, Oyo, 31 March to 1 April 1937", mimeographed, p.1.


**During the second of this conference held at Ife on 16 and 17 March 1 1938, the question of permanent membership was raised, and after deliberation a list of permanent members was announced with the name of the Oba of Benin in third place after those of the Ooni of Ife and the Alaafin of Oyo.


Before the end of the conference, a proposal was made to extend the membership scope to include others from the Western Yoruba provinces. This proposal drew comment from the Ooni of Ife to the effect that this would create certain problems, including that of language. Then he said, 'We understand the Oba of Benin: he is one of us, and today we come together as the children of Odudua'"


--- Refer to: "Conference of Yoruba Chiefs, Ife, 16 and 17 March 1938", mimeographed, p. 44.


This foregoing paragraph shows clearly that the problem of language [which the Ooni envisaged if the membership scope was to include the Western Yoruba subgroups of Dahomey and Togoland (i.e., the Ketu, the Idasa, the Sabe, the Ahori, the Mahi, the Sha a.k.a. the Itsha, and the Ifè of Togo a.k.a. the Ana)] was absent in the then present arrangement which included the Oba of Benin.


In other words, the Yoruba language was mutually intelligible in the then present arrangement.

Is this Yoruba joke?

All what was use to train the girl must be bought back for her parents. From primary school fees to university must paid back. My country people how who na see this one. Matter non dey finish for bet9ja, sorry I mean for Nigeria. Lol
