I can confirm this.

The robbery is intense and terrible.

Lalasticlala, Seun the robbery is real.

PassingShot:
You've shown over and over again to be lacking in the critical areas of endowment. No need arguing with you.

Your Bubu is a complete failure, let him face the act of governance, he cannot waste the precious four years mandate to learn modern democracy, him being a known tyrant.

PassingShot:
Do you have any doubts that Buhari has his evidences?

Why don't you reply to the points raised in the original post?
It's clear Dasuki will go to jail. Only Executive pardon can save him.

I do laugh at your empty and vain chest beating post... "Go to Jail"

May 29th - November 19th no one is in jail yet ?

You better change your orientation before is too late.

Buhary is a failure already.

Rule of Law must prevail.

About the referred Are Onakakanfo Title in Yoruba Land

Are Onakakanfo is a war viceroy and valued by Yoruba tradition as the most powerful and revered, of all the other ancient traditional titles cherished by the people.

The Kakanfo is usually an extraordinary citizen who is expected to lead the Yoruba people in peace and war times. Kakanfo is usually conferred on the greatest soldier and the most remarkable tactician of the day. In recent times this has been extended to include the frontiers of politics.

The title, which is akin to a Field Marshall, was first introduced into the Yoruba country by Oba Ajagbo, several centuries ago.

A source close to the Alaafin said the Aare Onakakanfo is the highest title that any Yoruba man can be bestowed upon. It is the equivalent of a Field Marshal in the army. There is no other title any one can get after the Kakanfo.

It is the final honour any one could get. Sources claimed that the title is usually picked after consultation with certain sacred and celestial order, and that it involves the presentation of several names passed on in some cases to the 'heavenly powers' to choose'.

Though in years past, the title was associated with the Oyo empire, its overwhelming impact on the entire Yoruba nation cannot be denied. The Kakanfo had dominion over almost all Yoruba territories at a time in the past extending to far away Togo, Benin Republic and Ghana.

The title of Aare Ona Kakanfo was introduced hundreds of years ago to the Yoruba country by King Ajagbo, who ruled over 700 years ago. The introduction of the title was informed by the need to fortify the ancient, pre-colonial army of the old Oyo Empire which at one time could boast of over 100,000 horsemen.

The selection involves several rituals and there have been speculations that the last two Kakanfos did not complete the ritual circles. Samuel Johnson in his book treatise on the Kakanfo stated that the Kakanfos are always shaved, but the hair on the inoculated part is allowed to grow long, and when plaited, forms a tuft or sort of pigtail,' adding that Kakanfos are generally 'very stubborn and obstinate.

They have been more or less troublesome, due to the effect of the ingredients they were inoculated with. In war they carry no weapon but a weapon known as the King's invincible staff.' At one time in the ancient times, a Kakanfo, unable to witness war was said to have fomented a civil war in Ogbomoso 'which he also repressed with vigour', just to prove his might. It is generally understood that they are to give way to no one not even to the King, their master.

Hence, Kakanfos are never created in the capital but in any other town in the Kingdom '

'By virtue of his office he is to go to war once in 3 years to whatever place the King named, and dead or alive, to return home a victor, or be brought home a corpse within three months'. He noted that the Kakanfo usually has certain ensigns: The Ojijiko, and a cap made of the red feathers of the parrots tail, with a projection behind reaching as far down as the waist, an apron of leopards skin, and a leopard skin to sit on always the Asiso or pigtail and the Staff invincible.

Apart from Chief Akintola and Chief M.K.O. Abiola, the past Aare Onakakanfo since about over 500 years ago were:

Kokoro gangna of Iwoye, Oyatope of Iwoye,

Oyabi of Ajase,

Adeta of Jabata,

Oku of Jabata,

Afonja l'aiya l'oko of ilorin,

Toyeye of Ogbomoso,

Edun of Gbogun,

Amepo of Abemo,

Kurumi of Ijaye,

Ojo Aburumaku of Ogbomoso (son of Toyeje) and

Latosisa of Ibadan,

the last of the ancient Kakanfos After Latosisa,

Chief Ladoke Akintola was appointed the Kakanfo. He died in tragic circumstances during the January 15 coup.

Since the death of MKO Abiola, no one has been appointed as the Kakanfo by the Alaafin and in a way, the delay in appointing the Kakanfo in the past and even now, has always added to the myth that surrounds the title.

‘Former President Olusegun Obasanjo desperately wanted to be appointed the Are Onakakanfo. He wanted the title more than anything else. He lobbied for it. He fought for it. He did everything to get the title while in power as the number one citizen, but he lost woefully’, a source close to the former president told The Nation.

Moment of truth...


5. For the past 6 months, Nigeria has had little or no policy directions. We have only 1.5 years to, and campaigns for elections will begin. Recall at this time most of the money needed for capital development would be diverted for elections. Agitations in the South East would continue, Boko Haram attacks on soft targets will continue, youths would remain unemployed due to little or no capital flowing into and within the country. I only see doom.

APC and the presidency should be ready to say the truth to Nigerians.

Tell Nigerians that all the campaign promises are not feasible, be open and ask for their understandings for your wholesale lies during campaign.

Otherwise, if 170 Million citizens start raining curses, you can imagine the effect on the target.

Wonderful history! /

HRH, CHIEF OGEDENGBE, Obanla of Ijeshaland (Oba-Ala Ogedengbe of Ilesha I), in his warrior uniform.

The first generation of the Great Ogedengbe dynasty.



Decorations: Balogun of Ilesha
Seriki Ajanaku of Ijeshaland
General / Commander-in-Chief of the Ekiti Parapo Army
Obanla of Ijeshaland (Oba-Ala Ogedengbe of Ilesha I)


He was a proud, courageous and confident Ijesa, although extremely difficult, he had a true and genuine love for his town and people. Ogedengbe was a no-nonsense man nor was he afraid of anyone. He was fearless, always willing and ready to fight or attack anyone who dares to challenge him and would not stop until the end. Ogedengbe had fame, charisma, wisdom and knowledge and was the ultimate icon of his time. Men want to be him and women want to be his wife.


It began in the 19th century, a century of revolution in Yorubaland, after the fall of the old Oyo Empire due to political crisis. Ibadan, a new city founded in the 1820s wanted to dominate and rule the rest of the Yorubaland and as result, there were wars among the kingdoms of the Yorubas.In particular the Kiriji war (also known as the sixteen years war) which started in 1877, it involved the struggle for power, influence and survival.The Ibadan on declared ‘a war to end all wars’ on the Egba on Monday, 30th July 1877, the Kiriji war officially begun.

The Ijebu joined and it began to spread. In 1878, it spread to the east, the Ekiti and Ijesa countries became united and formed an alliance known as Ekiti-parapo (the combined forces of the Ijesa and Ekiti) which was led by Ogedengbe of Ilesha .

The Ife and Ilorin later joined. Ibadan now had a string of foes that were ready to fight for their independence and also to free themselves from Ibadan imperialism.

History has it that during the war, Ogedengbe was totally beheaded but he cheated death in a miraculous way. His headless body simply walked towards his head, he picked it up and fitted his head back on.

This event, although very real and true but yet unbelievable, made his enemies even more terrified of him. For they believed that what could possibly kill Ogedengbe if the beheadings did not send him off to his grave.

For a time Ogedengbe of Ilesha, the legendary warlord, even terrorised the Yorubaland extending his ravages to Benin territory, capturing towns and enslaving its inhabitants. The kiriji war was the last war among the Yorubas and it lasted for sixteen years.

It was bought to a halt by British administration in Lagos, which produced the June 1886 Treaty and the proclamation of peace in Yorubaland.

modath:
You never disappooint, yo always show up on cue.

I have told you & I'd never cease to tell you that your ways aren't pure.

I refuse to be an attache in your anti Tinubu rhetorics, we never see yyou contribute till Tinubu or the SW govs are being bashed..

Do you have the scientific instrument that is being used to measure peoples way irrespective of their location ?

Let me order for one.

OKODORO-ORO!

Superstar1, I don't expect Gbawe to leave now that the matter is open for discussion.

We all are stakeholders and we want the best for our children and not some forms of debts payable in the next 30 years with little or nothing to show for its utilization.

To be honest, some of us like me for instance have no inheritance in PDP but would prefer to be an opposition to the inhuman policies of our regional leaders. (I don't mind being called an outcast or labeled political jobber).

Time to call a spade a spade and ask our governors what becomes of the huge debts.

Shymm3x:
Capitalism isn't the problem and to run a state effectively you'll always need welfare as part of the package. Even the US, which most will call the most capitalist country, is also a big welfare state. I think between 30-35%.

Absolutely!

Do you know of any welfare package that our homemade capitalists are championing ?

modath:
This is no rant & you know it... you just want someborry to complement you on a job well done....


I will just something to it with two illustrations about my perception of the Jagaban...

1.In 2011, ACN presented Nuhu Ribadu , it was expected that the Yoruba people will go with that plan but sohin happened but it is a subject for another day...

I did my usual Ajala work no pay campaign for PMB on my SM pages, to friends, work/biz life cos according to a friend in EFCC, Ribadu is a weak willed, malleable creature which made it easy for OBJ to use him in his special vendetta against errant govs & political associates....

Till today, I'm still marveled by the events of 2011..



2...
Opeyemi Bamidele VS Fayemi in Ekiti... It needs no soothsayer to highlight the fact that APC lost ekiti cos Jagaban for whatever reasons best known to him supported Fayemi despite it being obvious Ekiti people didn't want an Acada governor & were going to ensure he didn't return...

Fayemi meant & did arguably well but he was too elitist for the average ekiti man who prefers a Governor that will dance bata at his son's freedom party... The market woman whose preference is for a governor who will share a corn cob with her..

Tinubu knew quite well MOB would have swung the votes but he let pride (wild guess) make the decision not to field him dictate the course of events...

That decision i still can't wrap my head around..

Jagaban wants the SW to progress but it will be at his own dictates & pace...

As for Pa Awolowo, My parents enjoyed free education & i know the trickle down effect on myself & siblings, so i will swallow spit on top my opinion....

Mama Modath...

Shymm3x:
Awolowo wasn't even a socialist like the Soviet type of socialism, the Lenins of this world, or the Karl Marx of this world. So he would've thrived in modern times since the most developed countries in the world in Scandinavia use the same model. And most European countries are welfare states.

Also, capitalism isn't the problem if well managed. But is Tinubu just a capitalist, or more of an emperor who thrives on nepotism and cronyism? - I'll let you answer that.

Marxism theory of growth emphasizes the role of capital accumulation. To him, economic progress was accompanied by a change in the whole society and its framework.

While capitalism thought is characterized by the desire of the capitalists to secure as much of surplus value as possible and by competition, thereby claiming ownership of means of production.

I agree that capitalism is not totally bad but adding nepotism and cronyism is the ill of the drive.

superstar1:
You should realise that the ideologies of the 2 men are different. Awo was a socialist, which is a typical yoruba structural orientation and ideology while Tinubu is a capitalist to the core.

The difference in ideology explains the achievements of both politically and in terms of visible development.

Will it have been possible for Awo to achieve some of his welfarist and socialist ideologies in modern times? I strongly doubt it.

Will Tinubu have gotten away with his imperialistic capitalist tendencies in the contemporary times of Awo? Capital N and O.

Akanbiedu:
What many of you fail to understand is that Yorubaland does not exist in isolation now, unlike when Awo ran Western region in a confederation. No matter what SW administrators do, will not yield much result or rather the result will be consumed by internal migration. The little progress Lagos recorded has been swallowed with influx of people putting pressure on the infrastructure and making it seem like nothing is working.

Programs or policies that have far-reaching effect on the populace are not directly under the powers of states. For example Tinubu built power generation for Lagos only to be taken over by Federal government. That was at a time Nobody was thinking of building power.

So the better way of handling the situation of getting to influence what is happening at the federal level. That has been done and its only a matter of time before the results of that will start manifesting. So why the sudden rush now?

I beg to disagree that until you control the federal power before you can judiciously utilize all the infrastructural loans and debts collected for same projects.

If what is accrued to you from the federation account is not misappropriated, we should in the SW have the best of state roads, water flowing in every homes, good connecting hinterland roads that link villages to the urban centers. I do not think we need FG power to achieve all this ?

Let call a spade a spade, no difference between all the political parties. Nothing like progressive.

Aareonakakanfo:
They said Tinubu is simply operating in a system he has no control of and we ask them Didn't Awo advocate federalism as the only basis for equitable national integration? Why hasn't the Messiah done the same?

Awo was a welfarist.Most of the companies Awo founded were not for personal gains but for the people.Odua Investment company is a testament to that.Can the same be said about the messiah?How many of us here have gained from Tinubu's businesses?

Is political presence at the national level an achievement?

If the messiah was that great,how come his policies,ideas,political success haven't impacted the average Yoruba citizen or the South-west?

The only person I can put in the same league as Awo is Lateef jakanade..

Laaka ye yin o ni jona.

This is my position.

raumdeuter:
Anyone who is enlightened should know this is idioccy at its best

US is the bastion of modern democracy

The current democratic front runner is Hilary wife of former President

One of the Republican candidate is Jeb Bush, brother of former president Bush, son of Former President George H W Bush, GrandSon of Former senator Bush.

There is a possibility that the next US election is going to be between a Bush and a CLinton just like it was 24yrs ago

We havent seen Americans shout about Tinubu and make silly meme's

In India. We had Mahatma Ghand, We had Indira Ghandi we had Rajiv Ghandi

If thats Tinubus crime, then I can say he learnt from the greatest democracy icons in the world

You are absolutely wrong to classify selfishness and selfish interest as "idioccy at its best"

God continue to bless Alhaji Lateef Kayode Jakande, whose many policies as posited by others here are being felt up till this very moment. (30 Years after) e.g Jakande Low Cost Housing.

But your "idioccy at its best" is busy building his own personal empire, and estates while the masses are suffering and double taxed.

Eberu Olohun...

By joining forces with Buhari to unseat the power structure that has ruled Nigeria since the end of Nigerian civil war, Tinubu has helped to set Nigeria firmly on the part of progress . What Tinubu is busy doing now is consolidating on this success, and making sure that the conservative forces trying to return us to the old power structure is defeated.

I think the man has done his bit for Nigeria (Yorubaland inclusive) and shouldn't be bothered much about satisfying the sectional interests of some people suffering from superiority complex. Come to think of it, trying to satisfy Yoruba people as a leader is the worst thing one can do to him or herself, even Awolowo couldn't do it.

Ati bere, we don start again ?

So, Chief Obafemi Awolowo would permit this type of selfishness
