Watin him for wear? Human hair or leaves?

Me too wonder o. They should have put on rags, Yoruba or Ghanian dresses

OVI75:
If Osibanjo Thinks He Can Be Sidelining Ijaws And Romancing Itshekiris He Better Think Again

How does your mind really work?

What do you think Osinbajo should do? immediately itshekiri came knocking he should put a call to Ijaw people to come?

Are you aware some people far younger than you had been a
head of state and federal Ministers in this country before?

It is true that reasoning is not about the age!

READ THIS SHOCKING STORY OF A GRADUATE, TURNED YAHOO BOY.

Pls comment and share after reading for others to learn.

I graduated from Olabisi Onabanjo University OOU in Ogun state year 2003 with Bsc in Chemistry. After my graduation I spent 2 years in ijebu loitering around the street seeking job with series of application but non yielded a good result.

I left Ogun state for Lagos the first Sunday of September 2005 to make a better living as a man. Arriving at the Ajah motor park, I picked up my belongings and proceeded to the next available ATM machine cos I had no money left on me, while on the line at the ATM machine, I felt a touch behind me, to my surprise, it was my classmate back in my primary school days,

I was so happy to meet him again cos I had no ties in Lagos but left Ogun state with the hope of being a successful man. He took me to a nearby restaurant in his Toyota corolla sport car and entertained me with delicious meal and chilled drinks.

I quickly explained to him my condition and experience of unemployment, he took me to his apartment in one of the biggest estate in Ajah, gave me a room to stay till I finally had a place of my own, he fed me and took charge of my responsibilities.
I spent weeks loitering the street of Lagos visiting different companies and offices for employment, finally my friend came up with an idea of introducing me to his business.

I was so happy and agreed to join his business not knowing he is an internet fraudster. I had no choice than to join his business called yahoo.
I worked hard for months but got nothing out of it, I didn't give up cos my friend was my backbone financially.
One faithful night, I called upon my friend to show me the way how he does his, to earn so much money weekly, but he keeps telling "don't give up, every hustler got a pay day" which is true.

I continued but all my efforts were fruitless, I begged him to show me the way and finally he told me I had to consult his Godfather for guidance, I had no choice than to agreed to visit their Godfather the following weekend.

The following weekend we visited his place, he was an old man with bald head and a gray hair, he welcomed us and my friend introduced me to him, he asked me all I wanted, I explained and he answered "my son I already can see your struggle, you need not to worry anymore all you need is a living snake and a nail and leave the rest to me".

To me it was all a joke cos I was wondering if he was a juju priest or pastor.
I told him I can't touch a dead snake let alone of holding a living snake, so he charged me a N100,000 to get the materials including his workmanship then told me to come back for my charm in a week's time.

We went there the following week and he delivered to me a snake skin belt and a nail, explaining " keep the nail on your bedroom wall and use this waist belt everyday, at night hang the belt using the nail I have on my wall, go to sleep and wake up by 2:30 am wait few min and put a plate of bean cake known as (ekuru in Yoruba) below the position of the nail before 3am and go back to sleep". I did as he instructed for years and everything turned around for good.
I started getting paid with huge foreign currencies weekly sometime 3 times a week.
Every night I hang my belt it turns to a snake and crawl to everywhere I have been to during that day to gather their riches for me the second day. I acquired a lot of wealth, luxuries and my story turned to glory.

I did this for over 5 years and it worked perfectly till one night in the sixth year of the active charm. I failed to get a bean cake cos it rained heavily, I had no choice than to go to sleep cos I was already drunk after arriving for a get together party.
I went to bed that unfortunate night without having the bean cake in its position, the belt transformed into a snake and left as usual.

I woke around 2:45 am and remembered I had no bean cake, few mins later the snaked arrived and found no bean cake. The snake disappeared immediately.

Since that night I have not been myself again. I do feel a snake living inside me and keeps biting me, I feel series of pain and all I had acquired fled away. I have been living this way for the past one year, waiting for my death.

Please wait on the Lord and he will bless you abundantly cos no deity gives without taking something more valuable in return.

Please share my story, let people learn from my mistake.

God bless you as you save people from the devil and his advocate.

I noticed that most married women ain't faithful....they cheat with there ex in the at https://medium.com/@VicePresidentNG/we-are-greater-together-than-apart-biafra-50-years-after- , and mostly in their working place secretly








What's your views on this one nairalanders

"....*most* married women..."

I don't know which part of Nigeria you are but I think you have not really grasp the meaning of the word -'MOST'

Chinua Achebe repeatedly reminded us of the Igbo saying that a man who cannot tell where the rain began to beat him cannot know where he dried his body. If we lose the past, we will inevitably lose the opportunity to make the best of the present and the future.

Today at the colloquium on Biafra, I shared on why we are greater together than apart.

I was ten years old when my friend in primary school then, Emeka, left school one afternoon. He said his parents said they had to go back to East, war was about to start. I never saw Emeka again.

I recall distinctly how in 1967, passing in front of my home on Ikorodu road almost every hour were trucks carrying passengers and furniture in an endless stream heading east. Many Ibos who left various parts of Nigeria, left friends, families and businesses, schools and jobs. Like my friend and aunty some never returned! But many died. The reasons for this tragic separation of brothers and sisters were deep and profound. So much has been said and written already about the ``why's and wherefores’’ and that analyses will probably never end.

The issue is whether the terrible suffering, massive loss of lives, of hopes and fortunes of so many can ever be justified.

As we reflect on this event today, we must ask ourselves the same question that many who have fought or been victims in civil wars, wars between brothers and sisters ask in moments of reflection....``what if we had spent all the resources, time and sacrifice we put into the war, into trying to forge unity? What if we had decided not to seek to avenge a wrong done to us? What if we had chosen to overcome evil with good?’’

My God-son is Somkele Awakalu, his father Awa Kalu, SAN, and I taught at the University of Lagos. My first book was dedicated to Somkele and my two other God-children. Chief Emmanuel Dimike is almost 80, he was my father's friend and business associate in his sawmills in Lagos. Chief has been like a father. I see him most Sundays, he worships with me at the chapel.

The individual affections and friendships we forge some even deeper than family ties, must remind us that unity is possible, that brotherhood across tribes and faiths is possible

Let me make it clear that I fully believe that Nigerians should exercise to the fullest extent the right to discuss or debate the terms of our existence. Debate and disagreement are fundamental aspects of democracy. We recognize and acknowledge that necessity. And today’s event is along those lines – an opportunity not merely to commemorate the past, but also to dissect and debate it. Let’s ask ourselves tough questions about the path that has led us here, and how we might transform yesterday’s actions into tomorrow’s wisdom.
Indeed our argument is not and will never be that we should ‘forget the past’, or ‘let bygones be bygones’, as some have suggested.

In an interview years ago, the late Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, explaining why he didn’t think a second Biafran War should happen, said: “We should have learnt from that first one, otherwise the deaths would have been to no avail; it would all have been in vain.”

We should also be careful that we do not focus exclusively on the narratives of division, at the expense of the uplifting and inspiring ones. The same social media that has come under much censure for its propensity to propagate division, has also allowed multitudes of young Nigerians to see more of the sights and sounds of their country than ever before.

How can you see a girl who only know the Bible? The mere fact that she does not know anything else shows she doesn't know the Bible.

The fear of the Lord ( knowing all what the Lord requires of you with the desire to do them) is the beginning of wisdom .

Get that right.

Good news

Are you now saying lagos belongs to yoruba alone when Oba Akiolu graciously bequeathed the lagoon to the Igbos? Lagos belongs to all of us now except you are saying that our territory (the lagoon) is not a part of Lagos. Eko oni baje o!!!

can’t hop – they use their tails for balance.

leg bones of a bat are so thin that no bat can
walk.

(13). A tarantula spider can survive for more than
two years without food.

(14). Even when a snake has its eyes closed, it can

on a scorpion will make it go crazy and Sting itself
to death.

(21). Alligators and sharks can live up to 100
years.

(22). Rats breed so quickly that in just 18
months, 2 rats could have created thousands of
relatives.

(23). A bee must visit 4,000 flowers in order to
make one tablespoon of honey.

(24). A honeybee has two stomachs- one
for honey, one for food.

(25). A bee can see the colours green, blue
and ultra-violet – but red looks like black.

(26). Great white Sharks can go as long as
three months without eating.

(27). Mayflies live for a year or more as
larvae; but as adults they live for only a few
hours.

(28). Killer whales kill sharks by torpedoing
up into the shark’s stomach from underneath,
causing the shark to explode.

(29). Killer whales are not whales at all,
rather a species of dolphin.

(30). Most elephants weigh less than the
tongue of a blue whale. The heart of a blue
whale is the size of a small car.

Don’t Refer to Lagos as No Man’s Land Again, Say Osoba, Akiolu
May 25, 2017

Former Ogun State Governor, Chief Olusegun Osoba; Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu and others wednesday faulted claims by non-Yoruba ethnic groups that Lagos “is no man’s land.”

Also, former Federal Commissioner of Works, Alhaji Femi Okunnu, lamented that the creation of states after the administration of General Yakubu Gowon had created more problems than solved diverse challenges confronting Nigeria.


The leaders expressed their views at a public lecture organised to mark the 50th anniversary of Lagos State at Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, noting that it was not only embarrassing, but also confrontational to claim that Lagos “is no man’s land.”

The lecture, with the titled: ‘Lagos: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow,’ was attended by the state’s military administrators, Brig.-Gen. Mobolaji Johnson, Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, Air Comm. Ebitu Ukiwe and the state’s first civilian governor, Alhaji Lateef Jakande.

Other speakers, who faulted the claim that Lagos is no man’s land, included first Town Clark of Lagos City Council, Sen. Habib Fasinro; former Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Olusola Oguntade, and Dean, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Al-Hikmah University, Prof. Hakeem Danmole.

The speakers said the claim was not only misleading, but equally confrontational, noting that it abused the history of indigenous people of Lagos as the Aworis, Egbas, Binis, Ijeshas, Nupes, Brazilian returnees.

On this ground, specifically, Osoba said: “We need to understand that there were early settlers in Lagos. So, whenever some people say that Lagos is no man’s land, I laugh because I know that there were true land owners in Lagos.”

Akiolu provided some historical facts to buttress Osoba’s position, noting that Lagos should not be referred “to as no man’s land because our forefathers were the founding fathers of the state.”

The monarch explained that his forefathers had been living in the territory of Lagos several years, even before the Europeans and others came to Lagos.

Danmole, who provided insight into the history of Lagos, said Lagos Island to the indigenous population is called Eko, whose origin was well known traditional, but controversial accounts.

Nevertheless, according to him, it is important to note that one version of the name relates to the advent of Aworis, while the other is connected to Benin adventures in Lagos.

Despite this controversy, Danmole said, what is fairly certain is that the Awori settlement in Lagos was earlier than that of the Benin, which eventually subjugated the emergent settlement.

He said: “Written records insist that Olofin, the leader of the Awori at Iddo divided Lagos among his children. Although many versions exit with regards to the number of children of Olofin, these children established various settlements within the Island and beyond.”

Unlike the Awori, Danmole said the accounts of Benin’s relations with Lagos were fundamental to the evolution and eventual administration of the emergent settlement.

Also at the public lecture, Okunnu lamented that after 12 states created by the Gowon administration; successive military administration damaged the country built by their founding fathers with creation of additional states.

He said: “I wished that we have held on to the 12 states structure initially created by the Gowon administration. If the country held on to the structure, the ongoing demand for restructuring by some Nigerians would not have been necessary.”
Okunnu argued that the creation of additional states further brought ethnicity and religious differences that has become a huge problem for the country.

- The presidency has honoured Governor Fayose of Ekiti state

- The presidency also praised the educational feat of Ekiti state students at the National Junior Engineers Technologists and Scientists (JETS) competition

- At the occasion, Governor Fayose called on the federal government to prioritize the needs of teachers in the country

NAIJ.com gathered that the President’s schools debate Nigeria, a department in the Presidency, PSDN, has honoured Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state


The Presidency department also honored some brilliant secondary school students from Ekiti state who performed exceptionally in an international debate competition in Singapore.

The Presidency honours came as a result of the state contingent’s position during the National Junior Engineers Technologists and Scientists, JETS competition.

At the occasion, Governor Fayose called on the federal government to prioritize the needs of teachers in the country

Also, in NECO examinations, the state was adjudged the best in the federation.

The coordinator of PSDN, Dare Oritu, said the performance of students from the state was for the nomination of Ekiti team by PSDN to participate in the international debating championship in Singapore.

Speaking at the occasion, Governor Fayose called on the federal government to priortize the needs of teachers in the country.

He said: “We believe so much in human development Whatever you have put into the development of other sectors, for human and material development without equally developing education, is a waste of resources

“You would recall that during my first time, Ekiti was number 25 in rating in WAEC out of the 36 states but when I was leaving we rose to number seven. Today, Ekiti is number one.

"This shows that there is a governor who is always working hard and ensuring excellence in all aspects of governance.”
