Why are we like this? Everyone is posting on facebook to stop the killing in Libya as if Mark Zuckerberg has the power to do so. Nobody has been to the homes of those traffickers to demand justice abi na Libyans kidnap our people from here go sell? What of the churches who give prayer back up to both the traffickers and the hustlers. What of the politicians and military men who have ruled both past and present, are they not also guilty of this crime? So if we want to stop the slave trade in Libya, then that's where to start from. Most importantly those who created the distabilisation in Libya should go and fix it hence atrocities will continue to thrive there. Please enough of the awareness time for action

And why isn't any of them wearing hijab. Seems Islam is better practiced in poverty. ������

Hello Automobile gurus please help me out.

Good day guys. Please I need solution to my Honda EOD 2003 auto. The gear disengages when driving. Its occurs frequently hence the car has been parked for months now. Cant get a good mechanic in Benin to fix it. Someone suggests I replace it. The cost involved is a bit high and I want to be sure its really bad to be replaced. If anyone knows of a competent mech in Benin kindly recommend for me.

Did the Yoruba go to war when June 12 1993 Presidential Election won by their illustrious son Chief MKO Abiola was annulled on June 23rd 1993 on a sheet of paper by IBB? Did Yoruba go to war when Abiola’s wife Alhaja Kudirat Abiola was murdered in Lagos in the morning of Jun 4 1996? Did Yoruba go to war when the winner of that historic election was poisoned on July 7 1998? Did Yoruba go to war when those who killed Abiola imposed Obasanjo on them as President in 1999?
Did Yoruba accept Chief Ernest Shonekan when IBB made him to head the interim government in 1993? Yoruba rejected OBJ and Shonekan because this unique race has never been slaves to public office and yet they have remained number one in Nigeria in almost everything. This is wisdom and strategic thinking at work.
Those of us who have lived in Yoruba land for years should not only learn how to wear Aso Ebi, eat Ewedu soup or dance Owambe, music.
We must have also learned other unique things from them like sharing property to both male and female children, religious tolerance, ethnic tolerance, transferring legacies from generation to generation. Do you know that APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s wife is a Christian? Do you know that former Governor Fashola’s wife is a Christian? We can learn a lot from Yoruba. Yoruba too can learn from Igbo in areas of thinking home, business enterprise, self-help, apprenticeship, etc.
A Yoruba woman, a Pastor Mrs. Eunice Olawale Elisha of the Redeemed Christian Church of God old NEPA Road Phase 4 Kubwa, Abuja was killed by unknown persons on Saturday morning of July 9, 2016, while preaching the gospel around 5.30am. I have followed the reactions on the internety and Yoruba do not behave like the Igbo. They have been speaking but not preaching hate. They have called for the culprits to be fished out, prosecuted and punished. If Mrs. Eunice Elisha had been an Igbo hell would have been let loose. There would have been abuses and abuses. But Yoruba are not Igbo. This is civilization. This is strategic thinking. I hope our people can learn from this. Civility is not a sign of weakness. He who fights and run away lives to fight another day.
When GEJ marginalized Yoruba in his cabinet for five years despite been the most vocal in an effort to make him president, Yorubas didn't threaten anybody, they didn't abuse anybody, they simply fought in a peaceful & civilized way to effect a change in 2015 using their PVC. Today the most active VP since the independence & most likely, the next president of Nigeria is Yoruba. Fashola heads 3 ministries & referred to as prime minister in some parlance, Kemi Adeosun heads finance, Fayemi heads mines etc. That's how to fight for relevance in multi faceted country like Nigeria & not taking up arm against everybody.
To have ears is not to listen, to listen is not to hear, to hear is not to understand, to understand is not to put to practice. I know that writing this may not get me many friends among the Igbo, but it always gets me the right ones"

Abeg who knows the date of IPOB's protest in Lagos and Kaduna? I guess Kanu is too busy hiding to talk of planning a protest in a place like Lagos and Kd. Let's face it guys the pythons dance helped to clear his doubts. I only wished the loss of innocent lives could be avoided. Now that we know the boy is only a noisemaker can the Army please take their dance to Sambisa forest for now. It has do.

The Bitter Truth About The Igbo, By Femi Fani-Kayode
Permit me to make my second and final contribution to the raging debate about Lagos, who owns it and the seemingly endless tensions that exist between the Igbo and the Yoruba. It is amazing how one or two of the numerous nationalities that make up Nigeria secretly wish that they were Yoruba and consistently lay claim to Lagos…
​APGA leader urges Igbos to vote Agbaje, PDP​​APGA leader urges Igbos to vote Agbaje, PDP​'Reports National Assembly removed Lagos-Calabar rail project from budget absolute rubbish''Reports National Assembly removed Lagos-Calabar rail project from budget absolute rubbish'ANALYSIS: Who takes Government House in Lagos: Ambode or Agbaje?ANALYSIS: Who takes Government House in Lagos: Ambode or Agbaje?Yoruba group, OPC, lambasts Benin chiefs over comment on Oduduwa historyYoruba group, OPC, lambasts Benin chiefs over comment on Oduduwa history
A former Federal Commissioner for Works and Housing, Femi Okunnu, has described as “absolute rubbish” attempts to describe Lagos as a no-man’s land.
The 84-year-old elder statesman, stated this in an interview with The Nation newspaper in Lagos recently.
Mr. Okunnu, who is from Lagos and was at the forefront of the struggle for state status for the city, noted that there is no no-man’s land anywhere, adding that there are always some people who are original settlers.
“There is no no-man’s land. There are always some people who are original settlers. In the case of Lagos, it’s a misnomer to say Lagos is a no-man’s land. It’s rubbish. Absolute rubbish! Lagos was peopled by the Aworis and Awori land spread from Badagry through to Ota. They settled mostly in Ikeja, a division of Lagos,” he said.
“The Idejo chiefs, the white cap chiefs, who are the land owning chiefs, are basically Aworis and some of them are now Obas. I’m talking about the Oniru, The Olumegbon, Aromire, Oluwa, Ojora, Oloto and a couple others. After them, waves of immigrants, from today’s Niger State, started trooping in.
“I’m talking of the Tapas, the Nupes. I have Nupe blood. My father’s mother was a daughter of a Nupe man, Umoru from Idunsagbe in Lagos Island. Mind you, I’m talking of my great, great, grand-father; so you can imagine how long we’re talking about and how far our history dates back in Lagos. The Oshodi family of Lagos were originally Tapa.
Commenting further, he said, “Later we had another batch of immigrants over a period of time – those who had been taken into slavery in the North and South America and the West Indies but who had been freed following the abolition of slave trade about 170 years ago. Some of them also came in from Freetown, Sierra Leone. That’s where we have the Saro, Eko connection. They settled in the Olowogbowo area.
“Then we had the Binis from Benin (present Edo State). They invaded Lagos and settled in the best part of what we now call Isale-Eko. Oba Ado and all successive kings of Lagos are of Benin. You won’t say they are not Lagosians because we are talking of hundreds of years ago. So you can see that it is the latter day immigrants, who are full of the nonsense that Lagos is a no-man’s land.”


On the brazillian connection in Lagos, Mr. Okunnu noted that they were the people who arrived Lagos Island and environment over two hundred years ago, adding that there is no controversy over the indigenes of Lagos.
“The Brazilian Quarters were made up of another set of returnees: the Agustos, the Dasilva, Marinho, Pereira and their descendants, who returned from Brazil and other parts of South America. So when you talk of indigenes of Lagos… It is complete ignorance,” he said.
Tracing the history of the Oba of Lagos, Mr. Okunnu explained that the Binis took over the reign of Lagos by conquest, adding that the Aworis were there before them as the original settlers.
“Iga Idunganran itself was a gift to Oba Ado by Oloye Aromire, a white cap chief. He owned the land that the palace occupies till today. That is why till today, we have sections of Isale-Eko with Bini connections. When you hear of Idumota, Idunsagbe, Idunmaigbo, Idun-tafa; the word idun had bini origin. And then we had some chiefs who came with King Ado. That is another wide area.
“But suffice to say that Obanikoro, was a medicine chief who came with King Ado; so is Ashogbon. In Bini, it is Asogbon. There is also Bajulaye, who originally was Bazuaye. So the Bini connection is very deep. As a matter of fact, the corpses of all the obas, from King Ado through to Oba Adele I, who died at about 1834, were all taken to Benin for burial.”
Mr. Okunnu also lamented that there are some non-Lagosians, who made it possible for Lagos State to become a reality but who are not being given any credit for the creation of the state.
He said, “They were public servants. This is aside Gowon, whose role has not been acknowledged. Broad Street, which one government renamed to honour him, was reverted. We rejected the hand that fed us… One of those non-indigenes of Lagos is Philip Chiedo Asiodu. He is a personal friend of mine and a contemporary at King’s College, whose wife incidentally was Mrs Pereira, a Lagos girl and my aburo. He was one of those fighting for us inside the government.
“Then there was Allison Ayida, who became Secretary to the government of Murtala and Obasanjo. He used his influence as chief adviser to Gowon to help realise the dream of a Lagos State. Without them, there would be no Lagos state.”
On the alleged rift between Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and the minster of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, the elder statesman urged them to bury their differences and work for the progress of Lagos state.
“I’m saying this because there is no friendship or harmony between the current governor and the Federal Minister of Works and Housing; and I really hope that they would henceforth join forces to work in the interest of Nigeria and Lagos. That is my message to them,” he submitted.

Dear Vehicle experts in the house, I drive a Honda EOD and currently experience transmission slipping into neutral while driving. Kindly enlighten me no the possible cause(s) and steps to fixing it. Thanks in advance

Thanks guys. The car broke down on my way to Benin from Lagos. The overheating occurred immediately I got to Ore. The mechanic has identified cracks on the top cylinder which may be changed.

Also one of the radiator fans stopped working on my way but has been fixed by a roadside electrician

please gurus in the house. my Honda EOD is currently overheating. changed gasket and water pump once but the things won't stop overheating. now my gasket is burnt again. my second mechanic is recommending changing the radiator (single plug or so) saying its not good for Nigeria weather. please advice me on what steps to take.

I bought a Nigerian used Honda accord 2003. travelled with it to Benin last week. stopped at Ore to refuel and vehicle refused to start. Got an auto electrician to fix it. Drove some km and the temperature started rising got to Benin the gasket and water pump got spoilt. A mechanic just fixed the gasket and water pump but the vehicle refused to start. Only the engine and key lights are showing on the dash board. The mech suggested changing the brain box. but I.m not convinced. Guys any solutions to my problem.?

He said anytime money enters his hands, he loses control of himself. He probably needs someone to help gain control of himself. Tried hooking him up wit a MOG but none was in sight. He was given water to wash himself little food and cash for transport.

I,m considering informing the police to move the fellow as he is still sleeping on the floor close to our shop. Hope they will do whats necessary

Clearer picture

This fellow here was seen in a shop sleeping in Ikorodu this morning 2nd June 2016. He is Cliff Odion from Edo state Ekpoma. He seriously needs help. Surprisingly I offered him money which he rejected saying his problem is more than that. He has been weeping saying his problem comes when ever he sends money to his mom. Ishan people in the house kindly find help for your brother

Nice

Thank God o, I passed FR, PSAF, AND PM. YET TO WRITE MGE
