See, this whole thread of mine is gonna be kinda selfish. Everything I say about the city will be from my perspective. But, this first:

IKOKORE versus GARRI IJEBU

These dishes are Ijebu-owned, OK garri (roasted cassava flakes) is not a dish, but I do dish it. The Ikokore is often called Ifokore by those that love to corrupt languages, It's iko ko re. Made from a type of yam called isu ikokore, It's a delicacy anyone that wants to make heaven must eat before they bid earth bye. On Ojude-Oba's day, It's cooked and exchanged between families and houses. But most often times, It's consumed on weekends, because it takes time to prepare. Get yourself some tubers of isu ikokore and let me give you my own recipe.

Follow at your own risk

Step 1

Get the yam tubers, a yam grinder(called irin. . . I don't mean metal or iron), panla Fishes, crayfish, salt, MUCH OF OIL, maggi, a pot and a stove.

Step 2

Peel the yams till they get slippery enough, and start eating. E SWEET?

Step 3

Pour the grounded yam into an already boiling water. Don't cover it, I'm serious. It becomes foamy and spills off the pot when It's covered. Afterwards, add oil, pepper, salt, fish, maggi, ponmo, elephant meat and lion meat

Step 5

Go and pour everything in the dustbin..

Step 4

Learn how to prepare ikokore from the experts.


Ikokore sweet wella o. Especially if you devour it with eba. O boy.


But I mean, Garri on It's own is a god amongst fast foods. Especially grade 1 garri ijebu.
It's the one we call garri to kan(super-finely ground dry garri).
It's made from cassava. After the cassava tubers might have been collected, they are peeled, and ground. Then they get fermented and dried in a large basin under heavy fire, It's the process called yiyan garri. The best of garris in other land will pass for grade 4 garri ijebu, It's simply the best. When drunk, add milk and honey, your tongue will experience orgasmic feelings.


These two are the only ijebu-affiliated foods. No other land can make them better than we do. Ikokore over sandwich, garri flakes over pizza.

Ishilove:

you just murdered me and my dialect though

It's "ijebu re mi wa" ... simple

So here is a preamble, about the Ijebu boy, and then, his city.

ME

Uhm, I'm Adefunmiloye, born and bred in Ijebu-Ode. I was born in Ogunlade hospiru, one of the foremost private hospirus in the city. I used to belong to the Ogunade family of Itantebo, I heard they are the king makers. Now I belong to the Alanis: my own family that the only bearer of the surname is me. I attended iya lesson's daycare till I was 3, then I proceeded to Gloria Nursery and Primary School, Oguntuga street in the year 1994, two years after the school was formed. I got into the best secondary school in the city and the world six years later, the only boys-only school in the land. Had issues with my O-levels and had to be "admitted" into Way to Success International College, Ikoto.(WASICO). Eight years into the latest new millennium, I decided to go to Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, located near a bush-town close to Ilorin. That step was taken after my 5-years' Unilag dreams were taken from my sleep. I read mechanical engineering and graduated with a first class




A first class from the back



I've only given my educational journey. Now this is who I am:


To my family folks:
I'm that dude that awaits Nysc, after having read mechanical engineering.

To a part of my pals:
I'm a rapper

To another part of my pals:
I'm a writer

To a larger part of my pals:
I'm a comedian and m.c

To God:
I'm a son

To the world:
I'm him who they would hear of soonest than soon

To nairalanders:
I'm unknown

To myself:

I WON'T TELL YOU, YOU GIST-ADDICT

Family background:
I used to hail from a nuclear family of six ;My mum ;my eldest brother, Bayo; my elder brother, Femi; my only elder sister, Tutu; my grandma, Iya Abeokuta and me. My mother and the grand one are now late. My dad who wasn't really a part of the family save for the sperm he gave that made me, is also dead. I think that's all.


OK OK OK. My city

IJEBU-ODE

I grew up in this city, I didn't step out of it's boundaries till I was eight. I'll be 24 in 6 days' time, and I'm sure I've spent an accumulated 19 years in Ijb. I love her to death and am always proud of her, hence one of my monikers - sharp ijebu boy. I spent 3 years in Imupa, then moved to Ondo road where I was till 13, and then now I take my abode in Molipa's unity estate.

MY OWN VERSION OF THE CITY'S HISTORY

Omo mehn! ! ! I got to know of some stories in my jss days, secrets that I'd expose to itching eyes and ears. Once upon a time, before Econet started selling Sims for 20k, before Abacha ate those apples, before the Queen came to Nigeria, there were two handsome dudes that wandered aimlessly about. One called himself AJEBU(merchant sea trader), the other couldn't find a more sexier name to call himself than OLODE(the outsider). They met each other, had sex and gave birth to iJEBU-ODE. Crazy scandal exposed right? Aha! That's how I do. Obanta(the king outside) is somewhere in the story, but dude didn't copulate.


REAL TALK

For the ijebu-knowledge-illiterates, the city is located between Berger in Lagos and Challenge in Ibadan. 90 minutes from the former, 45 minutes from the latter. It houses the paramount ruler of Ijebu land, the Awujale (the land disputes' settler ). Apart from Ijebu-Ode, there are some other Ijebu-name bearing towns. Ijebu-Igbo,Ijebu-Imushin, Ijebu-Ife, Atan-Ijebu, Ijebu-Remo and so many this-way-to's. Ijebu-Ijesa is not part of the equation, only they know their story(s).

The Ijebus are the most populous yoruba sub-tribes, a dialect known as Ijebu is spoken. It's a mixture of the yoruba, French,@ Chinese, Indian and little Arabic languages. Shey dede ewen omojebu parapo n geti mi o? From inception and till the end of time, the Ijebus will always be falsely-alleged of stinginess. It's pathetic Nigerians can't differentiate between first-class accountancy prudent economics and stinginess. The Ijebus love life to it's fullest.


The next posts from the sharp Ijebu boy will hence focus on different aspects and sectors of the city, from his own seemly-sick perspective.

Wen se o o ! ! !

Happy new year to all Ijebu people on nairaland

EWE SO O O ! ! !

This place is where everything Jebustic (from a personal perspective) will be brought to the forefront

I'll be giving insights to the city and my times in the city

The next post by me would be long, take your time, beckon on Ijebu people, anti-ijebu, and anybody jebu-connected. because it's gonna be a long ride

The Ballon d'or / FIFA world best player gala night and awards come up in less than two weeks' times, January 12 precisely (and that's my birthday by the way). All footballing eyes are on the three nominees, two of whom occupy a different planet of theirs as far as soccer is concerned, and the other, a goalie that comes once in ten generations.

Christano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Manuel Nuer.



Of the three, C.Ronaldo had the best of football year as far as club's exploits go. Nuer had a better year for club, best year for country, and them merciless one had a flop of a year in club football and a not-too-bad a year for country football. As far as norms and traditions are concerned, the world best player awards proceeding a world cup is often determined by the happenings at the world cup. If that jinx would be broken will be determined by the announcement of C.Ronaldo as winner, for he had a poor world cup outing by all standards, no thanks to an injury that lingered into the world cup. But Real Madrid won it all, and all thanks to CR7. Off the strength of those club's trophies, he is the most favorite for the award. He has two Ballon o dor awards to himself already, a result of his hardworks for two different top clubs, will he add a third?

Messi had a bad footballing year for Barcelona F.C, his worst so far. Not a single worthy trophy for the Catalunya guys. Too bad. As a fan of almost a decade "fanship", I couldn't believe the season ended trophyless. The world cup on the other hand was different for the lion. If motherluck had been for him, he would have won the world cup, and with that won everything "winnable" in professional football. But the German machines wouldn't let him, and a certain Nuer's immense contribution to the team made that happen. He was voted best player of the tournament, a decision that still ignites debates amongst soccer fans. With four back-to-back Fifa world best player awards, this isn't new waters to him.

Nuer made name for himself in South America within the 30 days the world cup held. A goalie that acts like a defender , kicks the ball more than he catches/grabs it ,and stays outside his box 80% of the game is a strange sight to the South Americans, it was. Conceding few goals and making incredible saves, Nuer was a sight to behold for Germany. He literally kept the Samba boys at a hand's length during the infamous 7-1 trashing. His club exploits in Bayern Munich didn't go unnoticed either, they had the league cup to show for his goalkeeping brilliance. A sweepkeeper, and even a sweetkeeper, Manuel Nuer is one force that won't be forgotten in between the sticks.


The countdown is already on. We can't wait. The votes of national teams' captains and coaches, and those of selected football journalists had all been cast, and the D-day would soon be upon us.

Until then, the question remains "WHO WILL BE CROWNED KING THIS TIME"?

DO YOU STILL NEED YOU A WRITER SIRE?

how did you get to know this

A month ago [11-11-2014], Olamide dropped his 4th studio album: STREET OT(overtake). It displaced m.i's
chairman album off the iTunes chat immediately...
funny enough, I reviewed chairman, now I'm
reviewing the album that OTed chairman.
Ola is no doubt one of the best artistes in this
country. From his debut album in 2010 till this
moment, he has consistently waohed us. From the
time I.d cabasa hyped him on his Facebook statuses
in early 2010 till date, I've had no reason to doubt Ola
baby.

ALL I REVIEW BELOW ARE MY OPINIONS... they are
not necessarily correct and right....your own views
amount to story for the gods. Seriously?!!!




1. Olamide ft Pasuma & Lil Kesh – Oga Nla
Grade: A
Genre: fuji hip-hop

The album couldn't have started any more better. Oga
nla's voice resonated strongly all through the hook.
Ola gave us his mission statement. One that has
guided him since his inception in the industry. As
usual Lil Kesh had nothing to talk about.

2. Olamide – Zero Joy
Grade: C
Genre: Reggaeton Rap

On this one, Ola goes Jamaican on the hook. & he
addresses the same thing he usually addresses. With
a flow that one could easily mistake for tongue-
twisting, he does justice to the 1-verse(d) track.
Another album intro I suppose.

3. Olamide – Blood Money
Grade: B
Genre: hip-hop

Dope track. Laced with some raps and patois rap-
singing. Hook was a reprise. Nicely-sung bridge. 3
dynamic verses.

4. Olamide – Ya Wa
Grade: C
Genre: Afro r n b (rap and blues)

Ola always come with various degrees of concepts
on his album. The love theme has resonated all
through all his 4 albums. This party track goes hard
in the typical Olamide's signature.

5. Olamide – Hood Rap
Grade: C
Genre: Hood-Pop

Laced with some opera music as sample, which
doubles as an underlying chorus. This track is where
Ola "paras" for a variety of people.

6. Olamide – The Real MVP
Grade: B
Genre: Pop

Ola never stops displaying his singing skills and
versatility on albums. This party track seems
average melodically , but the beats compensates for
that. Only a real mvp can be this versatile.

7. Olamide ft Viktoh – Up In The Club
Grade: D
Genre: comedy-rap

Lewd!!! Unserious!!! is how I describe this song.
lewd!!! Viktoh gets funny on this one,& whatever
language he sang in at the end of his verse I don't
know.

8. Olamide ft Don Jazzy – Skelemba
Grade: C
Genre: Afro

Obviously the chemistry between the Don and baddo
isn't top-notch yet...mmaybe in subsequent
collaborations. Skelemba is a Street lingo(whatever it
means). Not too bad a collabo and joint.

9. Olamide – Prayer For client
Grade: A
Genre: hip-hop

One of the realest songs on street ot. He samples an
hausa undertone from Godwon's no days off the
mixtape. This is the official y-y boys' anthem. And of
course, only a y b n l can relate with his brothers. He
wants all to "get money".

10. Olamide – Batifeori
Grade: C
Genre: "Gospel"

At least, "mercy said no" was sampled on the chorus,
albeit with a yoruba-accent. Gospel Djs will like this
track. Here, he says his wishes come true (Batifeori)

11. Olamide ft Chinko Ekun & Lil Kesh – Bang
Grade: D
Genre: Southern hip-hop

Trap beats are the in-thing in hip-hop right now.
Chinko Ekun kicks off the track with madt badt lyrics
and flows (HE SOUNDS LIKE BASE ONE). Lil Kesh
though, below par again on this one. I've a feeling
baddo decided to remove his own verse off the track.
I think he did one.

12. Olamide – Goons Mi
Grade: A
Genre: Afro Pop

His first single off the album, it kinda laid down the
foundation for the street ot. Definitely a street
anthem. He went hard on this one, bragging, then
giving props to the streets for the support and fans'
base he enjoys. Bajinotu!!! Pooka!

13. Olamide – 1999
Grade: A
Genre: Trado Rap

Argue from now till infinity of how baddo isn't a full-
time rapper, and of how he shouldn't be termed an
emcee, it won't yield nothing. His dad's close shave
with death in 1999, which he narrates here brought
out the grind in him. So whatever must be done,
musically, lyrically or whateverly to get the dough
must be done. Cest Fine!

14. Olamide – Falila Ketan
Grade: B
Genre: "Kegite"

This would pass for the super eagles theme-songs
we often hear most times, except if we change lyrics.
Rated 18 and mild-lewd, it employs a high-tempo
upbeat. That's all. Apologies to all the offended Falilas

15. Olamide ft Phyno – In My Circle
Grade: C
Genre: hip-hop

The chemistry between these two is just baddoly
phynomenal! Purely rap. And these two remind us
why they are top two dialect-spitting emcees in 9ja.

16. Olamide – Alaaru
Grade: A
Genre: hip-hop

The beat could be mistaken for an 007 theme song.
Violin-strapped beats. Tight hook. My own favorite
song off the track. Here, he prays for more money.
Jawo!!!

17. Olamide ft Viktoh & Chinko Ekun – 100
To Million
Grade: D
Genre: hip-hop?

Personally, persona personally!!! I don't dig viktoh, I
just don't see his potentials no matter how hard I try
to stare and look. That chorus was below below par
par. Ola talks of his past and gives odes to his lost
goons, and stresses the money ish. The Chinese Lion
(chinko ekun) goes harder on his 2nd appearance on
the album, I only hope he keeps going this hard.

18. Olamide – Story For The Gods
Grade: A
Genre: Afro pop

This song generated some uproars online and
morality got questioned. Articles and rejoinders flew
all over blogs. But I'm sure the songs will win
awards. I won't express my own views on the song.
There won't be a need to.
PS: The grade comes as a result of the song's
acceptability and not it's message

19. Olamide ft Reminisce – Hustle Loyalty
Respect
Grade: A
Genre: hip-hop toh badt

My best song off the album(nt fav). From his hook
and verse(s), Ola makes rap sweet and sweet rap.
Boda Remilekun brings his always-sweet flows on
this one. On here, they present the theme; hustle,
loyalty and respect. The ibile boys ain't joking though.
Whatever reminisce took before delivering those last
breathless-eight bars though.

20. Olamide B-Banks – Possible
Grade: C
Genre: inspiration

Ola sings on this one too. The claro brings a wide
variety of inspiration, doesn't it? A new bank called B-
banks features here. The song passes for a Qdot
song.

21. Olamide ft Lil Keshi, Chuka, Chinko
Ekun & Penenazi – Usain Bolt P
Grade: B
Genre: hip-hop

Lil kesh & chinko Ekun appear for the 3rd time. The
former doesn't really impress, or maybe I'm just a
hater. Chinko Ekun is that spitter to watch out for
2015. Chuka,I think the ngt1 finalist, made some local
raps here, and even pepenazi, a typical phone(tic)-
rapper spits in yoruba here.(though I almost mistook
him for loose kaynon)

22. Olamide – Eni Suun
Grade: A
Genre: hip-hop

Eni sun (y'all won't sleep)? Really? My guy, I'm
dozing already... . Ola tells us he won't ever turn
down, he wants to pass a message across: HIS
CONSISTENCY AND HARDGRIND!!! An album couldn't
have ended any more better. (Na so I talk for track 1)


All views are mine... those that know me won't be
surprised on how I expressed them. So don't hate
and don't bite. That was my own side of the story (for
the gods ).
I rap, I write, I crack jokes, I sleep and I
tweet @adefunmiloye

please how do I insert the Sims into the phone


I'm confused
