Politics / Re: Bobrisky: Yorubas Have A Culture Of Spraying Naira - Reno Omokri by FreeStuffsNG: 11:31am On Apr 08 |
Zonefree:Smh. This is not a healthy way for you to learn and acquire knowledge. Here's a report on Yoruba weddings in Lagos as far back as over a century ago: Lagos High Society Weddings Of The 1920s https://www.nairaland.com/7791204/lagos-high-society-weddings-1920s This was a time some people in present day South East, according to authoritative books written by foreigners and some of our Nationalists of Igbo extraction, were still walking unclad and not exposed to having societal parties where Yoruba spray money. You can get a copy of this book and read. We appreciate our history when we learn about how our forebears lived. Reno is right, spraying of money at social and private events is part of Yorubaland culture till date. Others learnt it from the Yoruba and it's not a bad thing in my opinion because it is a way to appreciate the celebrant but it's now to be done in a manner that you don't mishandle the naira. Even the EFCC lawyer who prosecuted Bobrisky, a Yoruba, and the Judge who convicted him are Yoruba! 82 Likes 10 Shares

oseahumenb:Full roforofo fight has started. Both the Governor and his estranged Deputy rode on the support of their political benefactor yet betrayed him. Now they are double crossing each other. If you sow betrayal, you will reap betrayal too. Reminds me of the one who betrayed the political party that brought him to limelight. God bless Nigeria for ever!

Celebrities / Re: AY Makun Confirms Breakup Rumors: My Marriage Of 20 Years Slipping Off My Hands by FreeStuffsNG: 9:08am On Apr 08 |
I have found myself doing some things that i am not proud of today. It is one thing to watch my friendship/ marriage of 20 years slip off my hands, but it's another thing for the parties involved to understand how to appropriate the blames in a space that is designed for most women to always play the victims and win. Very irresponsible and arrogant remark. He should not give up on bringing back his family and get help before this remark later haunt him for ever. I learnt he has a good home that's worth fighting for and he just admitted it too. Drop your pride and bring back your family. |

Unbiased1:Trump will not spend that much of US money for Netanyahu to create that horrendous devastation Trump himself has personally condemned. He actually berated Israel for causing such a high level of destruction. Trump is interested in deals and will make as much deals as possible, with Russia, North Korea, Hungary, Venezuela, even Iran! He's not coming back to ever contest again if he wins so it's not cast in stone that he will want to waste US money on people who are already down. 2 Likes |

SalamRushdie:But Isreal is crazy enough to strike the Iranian embassy in Syria? Smh. Isreal is just making things more difficult for the US in the middle east and US is genuinely worried, Biden in particular is concerned that the guys in Israel may be ruining his chances especially in the middle of an election year. it's just as simple as that. If you see how much Biden had raised and how desperate Trump is to catch up then Biden will press the neck of Netanyahu long enough at least until after he wins his second term bid for the US Presidency. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The one who was caught cyberbullying the former first lady turned out to be one frail looking timid undergraduate with parents barely managing themselves to cater for him not knowing that he was indulging in criminal cyberbullying online. So stand up to them, don't ignore them. Even if they escape ban from the mods, one day, their trolling and criminal cyberbullying digital footprints will appear in tonnes during high level background checks on them for opportunities they apply for. |

TouchNfollow: These has made it impossible for Warri Port to actually serve as a hub for activities in the south-south, and even some of the commercial centers in the south-east. Now it's clear that the reason why other ports are not working is not because of the Yoruba. Most of these 'political' ports were built to stifle the development of the Lagos ports which were denied of FG funding since the 1970s until lately when the Lagos-backed Lekki Deep Seaport took off to compete with FG-owned ports based in Lagos. All the money that the Federal Government should have invested in Lagos ports to upgrade them and increase capacity prior to now were moved outside Lagos to build white elephant projects and almost worthless ports in Calabar, Warri etc. That's why we in Lagos state ended up building our own ports, trains, major bridges like odo alaro, 4th mainland Bridge, stadia, teaching hospitals etc in Lagos state instead of waiting for FG. The politics of bad blood and envy would have killed the advancement of Lagos if we had folded our hands and kept waiting for our haters to have a change of heart. On this issue o, I blame the Federal Government and I recommend that these ports be privatised or closed down completely since it's become an obscene liability. Please bring your investments to Lagos, patronize ports in Lagos today. May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs! 20 Likes 5 Shares

gidgiddy:Smh. This is a serious criminal case. Even those who are alleged to have committed less crime are placed in Guantanamo prison in US. If they want him freed, they should proceed with the case. I am sure that very soon this lawyer will be reported to the NBA by the prosecutors for disciplinary action. This voyage he is embarking on has no basis in criminal prosecution and he's not getting to the Supreme Court before he is called to order and seriously fined by the Appeal Court. He is wasting valuable time meant to defend his client on social media. Smh |

That large expanse of land has always been almost bare and undeveloped that one can easily figure out that the land is not available and likely because of govt designation or protracted legal case. It's so embarrassing to read him say he bought it in 2007! Haba! The land has been bare long before 2007 so he should sense that there's a reason people and the government left it that way. He really took a huge risk by going ahead despite all the red flags. Haba! 1 Like |

Politics / Re: LASG To Demolish $200 Million Landmark Beach Resort For Costal Highway Project by FreeStuffsNG: 8:18pm On Apr 06 |
Development has eluded that backend part of highbrow Victoria Island for decades and my guess has always been that there's a reason folks avoid buying land there and building up the place. It's very painful that someone will go and buy that land. Smh. Mr Paul Onwuanibe should have avoided that place, he should have sensed that there's a reason there's no development in that large expanse of space in VI and even LASG kept it that way. It was too obvious and risky. Something is fishy about that land and the best bet is that govt had designated it for future developments. Paraman:Here's the news as at today. https://nairametrics.com/2024/04/06/lasg-to-demolish-200-million-landmark-beach-resort-for-costal-highway-project/ Seems they will be compensated and not road reroute.

Ilamina:Lagos people do. It is mostly within the same Southwest and then overseas. If you see them outside Lagos and outside the other parts of South West, it's usually for work postings and family is mostly left behind in the Southwest. There's too much negative news about other parts of Nigeria outside the Southwest and most folks from there based in Lagos don't do much to market their places to the Yoruba to visit for leisure and business. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Celebrities / Re: This Video Of Davido Prostrating To Everyone At A Burial, Had Got People Talking by FreeStuffsNG: 1:16pm On Apr 06 |
Hahaha.....Very familiar if you are Yoruba and at family events where your elder relatives are in attendance. You are taught this right from childhood and done so frequently that it comes naturally. You must serve each elder his or her own idobale individually o, nothing like give one idobale for more than one elder. If you are accompanied by your wife and children , it is even more dramatic because you will all be dragging space to greet and receive blessings from the elders at the same time. This is one of the coded ways the culture and blessings are transferred from the older generations of the Yoruba family to the younger ones One good thing about this is that in a couple of years, you will be the one receiving the idobale and transferring the blessings you recieved from today's elders to those behind you so they can pass it on to the generations after you are long gone. 12 Likes 1 Share |
