Anything technology kills in one way or the other
Yet we still can't avoid it
Yes, we can't stop using it
Unless we're planning to go back to stone age.

It would be better having the Title of your post as "Minimize the usage of 4G Network..."

read receipts can't be turned off for already sent statuses or messages.
Then she probably turned it Off before you posted the first 9
PhonesRe: Whatsapp Status Questions. How Did She View Only The Last One?? by GemUnique(m): 1:43am On Feb 11, 2020
2 things could have happened
1. She saved your number late, definitely she would be able to view the status you uploaded after saving your number
2. She turned Off read receipt when she viewed the first 9 status and On when she viewed the last
With read receipt off, you won't know if she views your status or not
EducationRe: Amotekun Is Cheetah Not Leopard by GemUnique(m): 10:34am On Jan 19, 2020
mikaeli01:
I've been reading so many things some people wrote to try to correct but make errors themselves. It's not thier fault but rather than blame them I commend them, they are trying to show they know something about their race and culture.
I will simply ask for the name of an animal that is called "Idagiri". If you know it then problem solved.
The name Ekun is a general name used to refer the spotted and stripped big cats family such cheetah and leopard commonest in Africa.
The professionals who name the animals are local hunters who categorised them based on their look, ability and behaviour.
If you are in doubt about my what I put up here clear your doubt by interviewing as many Yoruba hunters as possible from different states with the picture of a leopard and cheetah then show them any other stripped cat such as tiger, lynx, jaguar, etc and record what name is called each one.
Idagiri isn't a name of an animal.
Only if it is attributed to Animal
But it has never been a name of Animal
EducationRe: Amotekun Is Cheetah Not Leopard by GemUnique(m): 10:31am On Jan 19, 2020
Venerable612:
Are cheetahs found in Nigeria?

Have you encountered God, Angels, Ghosts?

Why do you have Yoruba names for all of the above?

Your logic is flawed.

And whether it’s an adjective or not - you should kindly teach your Yoruba kids, if you are one, these things as well because our heritage is fast disappearing.
Please take your time to read it again, did I mention Cheetah??
.
I don't correct what I don't know
EducationRe: Amotekun Is Cheetah Not Leopard by GemUnique(m): 12:28am On Jan 19, 2020
Venerable612:
This is wrong.

First off the name Amotekun has nothing to do physical semblance as such.

It literally translates - “one who knows as Ekun”.

Again, you are wrong that Yoruba doesn’t have a transalation for Tiger - because our fathers didn’t have an encounter with them.

In fact Tiger has two Yoruba names. It could be called OGIDAN or EKUN. That’s why they say this provide - “Ogidan o ni se Barber, ki aja de be lo ge irun”.

And “KAKA KI KINIUN SAKAPO EKUN, OLODE A MAA RODE.“ Mind you Lion in Yoruba is Kiniun. And no one will ever compare a Lion with a Leopard. No animal can stand the Lion grit for grit amongst the Cat Family other than the Tiger; hence, the comparison.

Also, when Yorubas jokingly refer to someone as Ekun - it’s to represent that the person is a Strong man.

Thus,

Lion - Kiniun
Tiger - Ogidan and Ekun
Leopard - Amotekun
Cheetah - Owawa.

Hope this helps.
.
In the process of you tryna correct, there are errors
Owawa isn't cheetah (I suspect you got that info form Yorubablog)
Owawa (I don't know the English name, but certainly not Cheetah) is not even close to big cat family
not too small animal, has white furs that run from its back to tail, makes its sound at night.
You can ask a Yoruba Hunter if you wanna know more about it.
Tiger can't possibly have a Yoruba name as it's not found here in Nigeria.
What I think is Ekun and Ogidan are just Yoruba Adjectives which by time are used to qualify the Animal (Tiger) due to it's courage and Size
SportsRe: Tyson Fury Masturbates 7 Times A Day As Part Of Wilder Rematch Preparations by GemUnique(m): 3:10pm On Jan 15, 2020
Testosterone is the fuel of S*x drive
More s*x (or masturbation) results to increase in testosterone level
But 7 times in a dayhuh ��
Maybe with more advance Diet plan and Supplementaries.
He would have preferred masturbation to s*x to minimize energy lost

HealthRe: If The Air Is 78% N & 21% O, Why Do We Say We Breathe In Oxygen But Not Nitrogen by GemUnique(m): 10:25pm On Jan 05, 2020
While inhaling, the composition of air that goes in is-(78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 0.04% CO2, 0.1%argon and some other rare gases) just like it is in the atmosphere
But
While exhaling, the composition of air that goes out is - (78%Nitrogen, 16% Oxygen, 5% CO2, 1% argon, H2O...)
.
There's is...
- no change in %composition of Nitrogen because it doesn't react in human body/hemoglobin in the blood (in short it's of no use)
-decrease in oxygen because part of it would've reacted with haemoglobin
-increase in CO2 as CO2 from the process of metabolism( ie digestion) would have been added to it
So we say we breath in Oxygen and not Nitrogen because, Oxygen is what the Body uses
I hope this answers your question

Rayd502:
It didnt go down well at the Apc Ogun state presidential campaign rally as party members were protesting and interupting proceedings at the event.

All efforts by the Governor of the state to appeal for normalcy proved abortive.The Governor while appealing to the crowd had to beg them not to disgrace him as the father of the nation is there watching them.

It took the intervention of the vice president to calm down the situation as even Adams Oshiomole could not salvage the situation.

The president had to be shielded by his body guards as he was almost stoned by aggrieved party members when he lifted the hands of the Governorship aspirant for endorsement.

cc:Lalasticlala
Disgrace is already his third name
Karma is real
He's trying to cover up his atrocities, buh that's highly impossible
What he did to OGD would surely happen to him
