Thanks for your explanation I've learn one or two things

A305:
Majority of buyers are fraudsters who buy old accounts especially Facebook for fraud purpose. And the others buys for business advertisement purpose, basically old IG account with lots of followers.

-Business Purpose

Some online business traders especially those in eCommerce regularly need old (Facebook and Instagram) to advertise their business; sometimes though, FB suspend or terminate their account(s) for violation of term of service, so they buy old accounts to enable them pay for Ads to get their business seen online.


-Fraud Purpose

These fraudsters (Yahoo Yahoo boys), are constantly online (fb, IG and other dating sites) surfing to find their next vulnerable victim (client) to defraud. This process is called BOMBING. You cannot bomb a website vigorously without the AI not flagging the account for suspicious activity. When FB AI flags the account suspicious activity, the account gets suspended and terminated. But a yahoo boy never gives up, he considers buying another (old account) as investment to enable him CASH OUT one day.


These set of people (old account buyers) cannot register new account because new accounts are sensitive to odd patterns which quickly triggers the AI for flagging and termination, And not to mention, getting a new phone number to verify new account is almost time consuming so they rather buy another old account.

Gov sanya'olu sometimes last year during the public out cry that followed endsars protest that he going to stop the exe governor pension, only for him to keep mum about since then

What should they be taken bicycle,okada,keke napep,uber,or air peace ?

Why don't you ask why there was Midwest in the sixties ?when there is no Mideast, midsouth,and midnorth

You can see how legit his wealth is !

No be to dey do blood money ,drug trafficking or fraud up and down .

How legit is it?

OK my distinguish professor, ba'rka de sa'rla

TAO11:
Yeah one can be creative like that. Just like “white board,” “snow,” etc. can be “likened” to “purity”.

But if we’re asking what the word actually says, then we must be honest enough (not creative) to admit that the name “Obatala” doesn’t by itself say that.

Its etymology is generally acclaimed to be “oba t’ ala”. IF that’s indeed the case, then we can’t simply discard some words, and unceremoniously reinterpret others.

In other words, we can’t simply ignore “oba,” and “ti,” as well as skip the primary fact that “ala” is equivalent to “white cloth”.

Cheers!
—————
PS:
Personally, I have my reservations for the widely held etymological derivation from “oba t’ ala”.

But the point is, IF this widely held derivation is indeed the case, then my foregoing comments stand true.

Peace!

One can likened white cloth to purity na.don't you think?

TAO11:
Hmmm!

Does that NOT sound like unceremoniously discarding the “Oba” and the “t’ “ ??

If we must, then that would beg the question of “why must we??”

Moreover, “White” (by itself) is equivalent to “funfun,” NOT “Obatala”.

Similarly, “Purity” (by itself) is equivalent to “mimo,” etc. NOT “Obatala”.

Cheers!

But if (ala)means white cloth in Yoruba and (ala)in obatala means white cloth also, then we can agree that obatala can also be interpreted as white or purity.

TAO11:
Anyways, I’m glad you’ve taken correction to most of the points I pointed out to you, especially your funny-cum-weird mention of backward entrance into the Ka’aba.

Oh really? I am ignorant of your imaginations of course.

First of all, the word is NOT àlá (“àlá” means “dream”). The word you’re aiming at is alá — and it is not a word that can not stand on its own. It is a prefix.

[Check your 1913 CMS’s Dictionary of Yoruba Language (which you attached) to confirm this free education I’m offering.]

Secondly, alá is a prefix equivalent to oní; and it means “one who has”).

This prefix is found in words like alá-àfin (“the one who has the palace”), while its equivalent would be oní-àfin (“the one who has the palace”).

Moreover, no Yoruba has Alá has a surname. Alá is not a word on its own. It is a prefix. Also, “Alá” is not the same as God, it is a prefix.

Alá would mean anything depending on the base that follows it. For example, alá-àìmọ̀ means “one who has ignorance”. Such does not describe God.

In sum, àlà (“white cloth”) is an entirely different word from alá (“one who has”), while each of these is entirely different from àlá (“dream”) . None of these words means God in any way, shape, or form.

The “ala” in Obatala does not mean “purity”. It means “white cloth”. Check out my attachment (the 1913 Dictionary of Yoruba Language) for the meaning of “purity”.

Lol. The screenshot you attached confirms everything I’ve said. Àlà means “white cloth”.

Your own screenshot (the first one which is a recognized Yoruba dictionary) confirms that I was right.

Your second screenshot, although meaningless, is also sourceless. The fact that it is typed, in pdf form, and screenshoted means nothing.

What did you guy mean.. shey bomb blast for oshodi no??

AlexBells:
When I call you caward this time, it is from the dept of my heart, dude there is war everywhere and you think we will run to the defenceless west lol, you are yet to learn Igbo people, instead we let every one come home and we defend our land to the very best, I wonder why you guys love running, if the caward Ogundipe did not run we won't be in this mess by now, don't get me pissed, I'm core Igbo fellow

When coward ogundipe ran why can't brave/foolhardiest ojukwu take over ?

Since 1914,so indigenous governors been don dey naija since 1914?

vengertime:
We dey ment for this country, so this kind of meeting haven't happened since 1914?

No wonder these political bandits from the North have been taking us for a ride.
Even when we know they don't own Taraba, Plateau State and Benue State

I support that they're many competent hands among yorubas which one can always chose from. Thank you

WesternOligarch:
It's bad if you carry along the ones that are incompetent, that I don't support....but Yorubaland is blessed with enough competent people(and this is factual) so why not pick among those competent ones and raise them. And what is killing nigeria is simply evolution....the British tried a blood transfusion in 1914 by injecting different blood types in a single body, do you know what happens when different blood types enter a single body? that's what's happening with Nigeria..... tribalism is just a symptom of the problem...liberals love to call it a "melting pot" of diversity, but it's actually the 21st century tower of babel on earth, a shit show in a dumpster deep in dante's inferno.

WesternOligarch:
If a northerner gets a powerful position anywhere he'd ensure that all his relatives are settled and given top positions same for the Igbo man.....but the average Yoruba man with his political correctness and stupid "professionalism" wouldn't do such because he foolishly believes that networking is nepotism. For the Yoruba's to be great libralism, political correctness and sentimental attitudes must die.......you can't be a liberal in Africa, liberal tribes die out, our ancestors didn't build empires by being liberal or politically correct simps.

I agree with you to some extent sir,but then isn't the act of carrying your tribe men/women along no matter whether they're competent or not. that those two tribes you mention above do what is killing Nigeria?

nairalandankrah:
A referendum will decide that..
But I dont blame u, how can you understand when according to u guys, "western education is sin"

Have you conducted the referendum and they voted yes before they coopted into Biafra agitation ??

Oke owo trying to chastises Yoruba while Reno omokri trying to patronise the yorubas

Hahahaha the same way
Ogun
iyemoja
olokun
ayelala
IFA
obatala
etc found their way into Yoruba lexicon through benin imaginary military conquest right?

gregyboy:
Its a benin word


Omomo = baby

The word found its way into yoruba lexicon through benin military conquest of the west

gregyboy:
We have two words for some things in benin

Unlike the yorubas that have one word for a thing with different spellings


Coconut = evin new( benin)
Coconut = kokodia (old benin)

Ass= onisan
Ass ikebe

Child= omo
Owokan (small child, youngest child)

So basically child is omo which was loaned to the yorubas through benin military expansion

Its that omo/child that I'm asking you where did you foredadies get it from?

TAO11:
Their own Bini word for “child” is “oʋi”.

—————
NB: Their consonant “ʋ” is a voiced bilabial fricative.

It is usually transcribed as “vb”, such that “oʋi” (i.e. “child”) is written as “ovbi”.

Cheers!

Cc: babtoundey

tkank you

babtoundey:
Who on this forum doesn't know you are a big idiot who thinks himself smart and intelligent?
Just as ogun, oya, yeepa, iyooba, Ada and other words your people share with Yoruba have different meanings as with their Yoruba meaning and original meaning, this one too must have a different meaning.

Omonoba, a child that shines.. what piece of nonsense! Why must your king be referred to as a child?
It could also mean a child that is red na. Your concoctions are becoming obsolete and redundantly boring


A child that shines
A child that is red
it is shining

Thank you bro, sometimes when I think about this Bini people ehh I with just smile maybe he should tell us why they referred"OMO "as a child is omo a Bini language ? Am very sure they have another word in Bini language for child

Goldenheart:


See as dem dey feed us with Tinubu this, Tinubu that.
So him go dey our subconscious mind,
Person for Nairaland don collect Ghana-must-go.

I can tell you one thing


"Odeshi"

Do not decieve your self there's no " odeshi" any were tinubu campaign spirit will enter in fact it has entered you already. Amen

The Yoruba's don't just wake one day and started agitating one of sons contested for President and won the peaceful election in the history of Nigeria and it was annulled what did expect them to do? Don't forget Yoruba didn't just got to Nigeria in 93 they've been here all along and they did not disturb anybody.and for Jonathan it was the death of yar'adua that he benefited from nothing more, in the case of IBO nobody is stopping them from contesting in the nest election if the people of nigeria want they will vote for their candidate so why bullying, if you think by bulling presidency will be thrown at you then you're mistaken.

Tecno66:
Violence and threat appears to be the only language we understand as a people. The yorubas nearly turned the country upside down because of MKO issue, the who country agreed to compensate them with the presidency and so OBJ came on board. The Niger Delta militants did their own and that made it easy for Dr. Goodluck to be president. The boko haram started and Mr. Buhari started threatening everybody. For peace to reign, everyone hands off with all the allegation of suspicious credentials. Even the supreme court accommodated him. Now, the ibos appear to have found the trick and they are using it. How do you blame them? Even though it may be difficult, a lot of folks are already talking of igbo presidency if that is what will stop violence from that end.

ThEGodFaThEr102:
It's only cowards that take refuge during war time.

Igbos will never take refuge. We will fight and defend our land with every drop of our blood.

Biafra......is an ideology, it's has been etched in every heart of every Igbos. We are not afraid of he who can kill the body but have no power over the soul.

Since you people have decided to become refugees in faraway strange land in Togo and Benin Republic, no problem!

Congrats on your new journey


ThEGodFaThEr has spoken, he who has ears let him hear

But some people were evacuated to Gabon the other time nah and they came back with akpu

Tecno66:
Dont mind Rufai. Buhari threatened that baboon and monkey will bath in blood and he got the presidency. So why can others not do same and get it? All the things they did and got away with, they are preventing others from doing same. Rubbish.

Oh oK! Is that the plan and strategy to cause violence and chaos here and there so that s/east can use that as bargaining ship for presidency like buhari did ? Hmmmm it now make senses to me

Who allocated presidency to Yoruba's in 1999?

onuman:
Presidency of Nigeria is by allocation. Presidency was allocated to the SW in 1999.

This is because of the skewed political structure of Nigeria created by northern soldiers to favor Arewa.

El Rufai can never be truthful.

Noting new here dear,if something HSA happened before there's every likelihood it can happen again. An IBO man was the president of Nigeria from 1960_ jan 1966 ,head of state from Jan to July 1966,vice president from 1979_1983 with the hope of becoming president after his tenure in 1987 and nobody cried nobody died.

valentineuwakwe:
Hmmm.....this will get too much for this country.how do they want another southwest to rule again after 1999-2007, then vice president from 2015-2023.....
Buhari threaten GEJ and the whole of Nigeria in 2013 and 2014, yet no one said about it, 2023 will be the turning point for Nigeria. ..

PeachtreeReside:
State Police too?�
The reasons they were against State Policing was for a time like this.
We modelled part of our
Democracy after that of The U.S.
Sorry, scratch that, "They modelled part of our democracy in a way that favoured The North ".

"Pooling of revenues into a central
purse"
" No State Police"
"Centralization of Power Sector i :Pn order to stifle the Economic Growth of The South"
"Inflation of population in order to have more access to
" Federal Government resource control of States resources to favour a region"
" Subtly inhibiting the educational sector of other regions in order to lessen the gap between North and South" The Dabimoseda Syndrome i.e be as I am.
"Putting their own in positions years ahead for a time like this."

"Pitting tribes against each other using religion and tribes as a tool of division and hatred"


There is systematic plan put in place over 30years ago.


How are we going to checkmate it?

The Yoruba and Ibo leaders were shortsighted , naive and sell outs.

Are we not ready to study to strategize a way out of this quagmire?


Building alliances with our common oppressed entity over our oppressors?

Pieces are falling into place to set in motion what might be a devastating blow to Southerners.

Yet we are name calling , doing tribal e-war, e-voltroning against each other for our if we are not careful doomed tribes.



I'm very worried and scared for what the future seems to hold.

So should you reading this.

Una no dey ever see good things unless evil?

mrfreestuff:
What's incompetent here? If only you had bothered to read it well sir. It was BUA that got a court judgement against the order.
Should they disobey the court order?
What would you have done sir Mr Idea?

It's now time for Oando too to go ahead and hold its AGM after defeating SEC in court. Oando should serve SEC the court order that cancelled the sack of its management and suspension of their AGM since 2019

BUA is flouting the National Sugar Master Plan and using the court order to give it leverage to enable it cheat its competitors by importing cheap unrefined sugar instead of completing the sugar plantations.

But sir the court order has been in place before the suspension

gregyboy:
Aworis didnt migrate from any ile ife they migrated from dahomey and through trading with the yorubas they original language began fading off to yoruba

Were you've change mouth again are you not the same person that said in other tread that aworis are from benin that they followed your missing ekaladiran to ile ife, you've now realized that that your bogus lie can never stick hence your sudden three degree uturn to Dahomey

theTranslator:
are the Niger Delta tribes not endangered in Biafra?
'cause I saw a thread and I was awondered at how these IPOB denied every single fact that was told to them about their killings of "minority" tribes!

https://www.nairaland.com/6536757/remembering-isheagu-massacre-

the West know we committed atrocities and have always apologized and are ready to apologize all over again
in fact prominent Yoruba soldiers helped Ojukwu(we were large neutral during the war)

it is not a crime not to be "many"!
the decision of a people~no matter how "small" should not be trampled upon!
we all know that that war was fought for oil
and see where the 'oil' has taken us to!

God help the Tribes of the Niger Delta!
God help the people of Niger area!
God help Africa!
God help us all!

adakaboro8 legendhero mrmaestro

Who are the west that admitted they committed atrocities and apologized and what were the atrocities ?

[quote author=MegaDesign post=101438202]After that , what happened?[/quote

They have to recoup their investment obviously!
