Just ignore them.

Before nko!!! I don't take them seriously.

Just after game day 2, people eye don dey open small small towards the ghostworker in our midfield.

£100million worth of fraud wey no fit do the proper work required of a midfielder should be nowhere near this team. He should be sold!

No need putting that liability up front or for 10, because we have more creative players who can cause more havoc from that position.

The earlier our owners bundle that ghost worker out of the club, the better for us. Jorginhoe wasn’t even as bad as this fraud, although he too still needed a bit of help and protection.

If our midfield and overall play looks bad, it’s because the £100million fraud won’t take any responsibility in midfield, leaving Caicedo to do all the dirty work while refusing to even make himself available for a pass. Ghostworker gats go……

We like ghost worker that can ghost through players to score.

Most you no Sabi anything about football but will be dragging what you don't know.

Wow!! Where do one insure his/her house/houses?

Are we to insure at any insurance company or with a government agency?

This is very important. Person no wan go Jail oooo.

This is a welcome development.

I think there are 2 different companies proposing for this project. The other one is Geofocus that included high speed train along with the superhighway.

I don't even know, since Baba Laloko died many of their coaches left to handle other academies, like N.I, Imperial etc.

I see. Probably, it's nolonger functioning.

One of my colleagues at Pepsi academy close to him posted it earlier and i couldn't see any report online that time. But now newspapers have reported it. Sad.

Pepsi academy!!! Is it still existing?

Go and check the map of Oyo empire, it's well documented and in libraries around the world. Even by latitudes and longitudinal dimensions.

Back to Alaafin's question, "where did Ooni derive authority to confer titles in Yorubaland in 2025? Where was that authority before now? Which of his father's ever exercised same?"

Which map? There was never a map of Oyo that included Ijebus and some few kingdoms.

Wake up from delusion.

@forgiveness

Absolutely well said my brother.

Indeed, NEVER again must the nonsense strong-headedness and Yoruba Civil Wars that happened from the early 1800s due to lack of effective communication occur. As of today, with proper negotiation skills using video conferencing, WhatsApp video calls, the Internet and more, people can easily resolve their differences before things escalate to dangerous proportions and this is what these folks should be doing! All Yoruba Palaces and Obas from Nigeria to Benin and Togo should have in-house tech teams to oversee the installation of these tech devices for quicker conflict resolutions, security and for wrapping up economic partnerships with local and foreign investors.

There's a major role for Kingship and tradition in the modern world just like in the United Kingdom, Japan and other parts of Asia where monarchies and cultures are still held as representations of pride in past history, BUT Yorubas also operate a unique hybrid monarchy and republican system so everyone MUST respect their boundaries in a modern world where AI and disruptive technologies are now the driving forces for global advancements for any group of people.

I appreciate your insights here.

Cheers.

Thank you for this. Everyone must respect their boundaries. If there's any issue, they can call themselves on phone to express their thought.

I will suggest they have a forum where they can elect a leader among themselves via election. Anyone elected must get the consent of all the other traditional rulers before conferring a Yorubaland title on anybody.

Besides, to discuss pressing issues facing the race. There are many issues that needed urgent attention than this unnecessary ruckus.

Awujale served under the emperor of Oyo Empire and even paid taxes to him.

Not to lose focus, I'll quote Alaafin Lamidi Adeyemi's letter in 1991 at the first attempt of this rascality.

"I think it will not be out of tune for the Ooni Oba Sijuade to be called upon by the Government to defend his imaginary title of Akinrogun of' Yorubaland by reference to such and similar titles his forebears awarded before, the past recipients and their places of origin. Unless, that is done, one will not be surprised if it becomes the vogue for any Oba to be conferring their town or villages titles and designate them as 'Yorubaland'. And that will be [lawlessness per se. I have said it earlier that Oba Okunade Sijuade is behaving as if there is no Authority to check and call him to order and because of that 'above the law' syndrome of his, he is in the habit of walking on everybody’s' back including Government."

How did Ooni in 2025 develop an authority non of his predecessors ever exercised.

Oga! Stop changing history. Oyo never subjugated Ijebu Kingdom and some other Eastern Yorubas. Which kind lie bi dis?

They tried to with Benin Kingdom too but failed. Learn history and stop peddling lies here.

Jester!
Was Oduduwa barren?
Didn't Oduduwa share his inheritance amongst his children where Oranmiyan inherited the Land?

Oduduwa was never an Ooni of Ife, the throne Ooni inherited is that of the chief priest as his fathers. The son of a slave is also a slave (omo eru, eru naa ni). That's why Ooni has never gotten respect in Modakeke, his border town.

Both Ooni and his fathers served Alaafin, paid taxes to Alaafin. Alaafin is the only Yoruba mortal yet to serve a man (oyo o seru baba enikan).

Has Awujale served a man? For your information, Alaafin was disgraced when he went to pay homage to Emir of Ilorin during the fall of Oyo Empire.

Before then, Oyo was sacked by Nupe but the royal house fled to Borgu where they stayed for 80 years. Read history man.

It's brilliant of you to emphasize these FACTS because I also did the same right above on this same thread page. Oyo Empire didn't cover the whole of the Eastern parts of Yorubaland. So, how can Oyo Kingdom be the one to choose universal titles for everyone? Aare Ona Kakanfo given to Gani Adams who is from Ondo State by the Oyo Kingdom is at their discretion. All the Yoruba kingdoms are directly, ancestrally related to one another but Oyo is just one out of all the Yoruba kingdoms that grew to become an economic and militarily powerful Empire in West Africa centuries ago.

The Ibadan folks too tried to create an Ibadan Empire after decisively defeating the invading foreign Fulani impostors (and sadly, their Yoruba Ilorin collaborators) at the famous battle of Osogbo in 1840, BUT the subsequent repression of the Ijesas, Ekiti, and Ife by the Ajeles of Ibadan led to a massive revolt and the 16-year long Civil War named Ekiti Parapo Wars otherwise known as the Kiriji War (named after the sound from the modern cannons used by the Ekitis and ijesha army which they purchased from Eko or Lagos Island).

Specific people from parts of Yorubaland must learn from the history of the 1700s and largely the 1800s and NOT seek to impose themselves on their fellow Yoruba cousins. Yorubas are known come from warriors backgrounds and so resist oppression and these two Obas (who are even a bit younger than me in age) MUST be wise. Those days of imperialism are over. Mutual respect, human capacity building and the deployment of disruptive technologies are what the Yoruba folks and other Africans require at this moment in human history not some lame controversies over aristocratic titles.

The last sentence is exactly what we need now and not this superiority complex.

Are they saying "if" Yoruba becomes an independent Nation, they will automatically become the paramount ruler. Kkkkkkk. I laugh.

That's delusion grandeur. They had better wake up to the reality of this modernization.

What we need as a people is to leave our differences and come together to chart a way forward for the betterment of our people. Enough said.

Crown which man? Even Lamidi sued Ooni's predecessor for attempting such in 1991 and won till Supreme Court. Which Ooni's father has ever had a Yoruba land chief?

Is Yoruba land not a contraption of Alaafin who almagamated kingdoms from River Niger to Volta that we now refer as Yoruba land? Is Ooni not the son of the chief priest to Oduduwa's blood lineage again because Politicians say so?

Oga! Oyo never controlled all the kingdoms in Yorubaland.

Ijebu, Owo, Ondo etc were never subjugated by Oyo.

Hienna1:
Do you also read that the ife kingdom also pays tithe to the Alaafin... There are other kindgom too like the Awujale of Ijebu, alake of ake, soun of ogbomoso and others too..

Just saying you know.. the one we read in history.. the Oyo controls all activities including slave trade, military control, etc..

When did Awujale pay tribute to Oyo? Don't give false information here.

Alabama Babasala!!!! What's Dat? Make una take am easy oooo.

Hmmmm! na wa ooo. Make God carry us reach there ooo. Abi ki la ti nwi?

Continue to speak grammar. Absolutely nothing wrong with importation. Importation is a life blood of all economies. Where the country sucks at is exportation- non oil exports.

All you know are protectionist policies that have failed woefully to industrialize the country. Why the persistent focus on a policy that does not work?

Who told you manufacturing can't thrive in the face of importation? That's also a myth.

I have informed you the formula that would work. The garments are for exports. The garments would be too expensive if they depend on Nigerian made fabrics as their prices aren't competitive.

The garments needs to be competitively priced for them to be exported. The textile and garment industry is fiercely competitive.

According to you, textile industry is not needed in Nigeria. Perhaps, Nigeria is not ripe for industrialization according to you.

Mr man. Point of correction. Nigeria textile crumbled after people started importing okrika. Awolowo warned them it will crumble the textile industry then if allowed but it fell on deaf ears.

He also warned against importation of Textile from abroad but they didn't listen. Not long after the textile industry crumbled and many thousands of people where rendered jobless.

This initiative is a welcome development.

If I am the government, I will place total ban on Okrika from entering Nigeria and place high tariff on textile imports.

Do you know how much they spent on Ajaokuta steel and many other white elephant projects?

If you plan a seaport in Abuja, you don't need a rocket scientist to know its going to fail.

This is a private investment not Ogun state driven project. Read.

grandstar:
This is a white elephant project.

Nigeria has zero competitive advantage in the production of cotton or textile fabrics. The cotton produced here is of poor quality, and it's even in insufficient quantities.

There is rumoured to be only 3 functioning textile factories in the whole of the country. The rest have shutdown. That's how bad the country is in producing fabrics.

The way to go would be to slash import duty on textile fabrics to 0%. The garment factory can now turn the imported fabrics into garments which would then be exported.

Container economy again. All you know is importation. Well, it's your personal opinion. The project will go on by the grace of God.

Ndidi is my pick. Umahi was on my list but the way that man dey call big money for project dey fear me.

Others like Soludo, Rochas and Okonjo are not bad.

There should be a centralized number that should connect with other commands.

However, we are getting there gradually.

NoisyBoi:
We don't want to be CNN or BBC those are for propaganda. We want a refreshed NTA, distinctly Nigerian.

Yes, to counterattack propagate.

NTA suppose to be CNN or BBC of Africa.

It really needs upgrade.

This guy just dey call big money for projects. That amount is ridiculous to rehabilitate an existing brigde.

do4luv14:
Like can I get some things like Marine communications equipments??

Noooo! I don't know about that.

Enice:
So, 4% FOB will amount to N 2.4 million?

That was before 4% FOB though.

do4luv14:
You know about the importing things ??

Somehow.

do4luv14:
Boss na here you dey

Kkkkk

Skydivine:
Thank God I found you here. These people have charging me between $1300-$1500 for each car.
Can I have your contact?

Which country?

Skydivine:
Please which country do you ship cars with $500? I need to know , maybe we can do business

It is $2,000 per container with 4 cars.

What kind of business do you want to do?

Inosky:
That's he spent roughly 12.4m for everything, for 4 cars.

He will make a lot of money 🤑💰 if he sell 6 million or more, which I know he would sell higher than that.
You guys are raking millions is this auto business.

The price differ according to model. The others where some more or lesser.

But the people are baring the pain.

minista94:
Please is it 2k dollar for container or just for a car in the container?

A container.
