There is a historical inaccuracy in this write-up. It is gravely misleading because there was never a time triplet were an abomination in Yorubaland

I am actually puzzled too o. In fact, I am reading of such it for the first time. I consider it as very inaccurate. In the same Yorubaland where, like twins, triplets also have their own special names (Tayewo, Aarinola and Omokehindegbegbon)!? Some people really need to do their research very well before spewing out rubbish.

Who knows maybe Akeredolu is Tinibu's candidate afterall.

Don't trust politicians.

Thank you o. I wonder why people like the OP reason the way they do. At the end of the day, the political elites, irrespective of political party affiliation, are all in bed together. Aketi had Tinubu's support in 2012, what makes people think that the two are now sworn enemies?

Until the average Nigerian get to understand the way politics is played in Nigeria, we are going to keep running in circles.

Asking the dead to pray for you is a stupid thing to ask for. The Catholic Church keep exhibition nothing but religion and nothing but cult-like activities. Interestingly, they carry the Bible while they listen and act obediently to the dictates of the fathers. Worst of all, these acts far contradict what God instructed in the Scriptures.

There was never a place in the One where Christ or God charged people to ask the deads to pray or interecede for them. There was never a place where Mary was asked to be an intercessor to the prayers of men. Christ was and still is the person we ought to take our petitions to.

The Catholic Church, all thanks to their gullible folwrrs all around the world, have the power to deitify and idolize anyone they deem fit, while their followers, who, instead of studying their Bibles, would only listen to a Pope in a far away land and scream 'Saint whatever, pray for me'. And then you get to wonder why the prayers of a dead person would be any effective than yours.

And how is the bolded different from praying to a dead Jew?

And GEJ is the great leader? ROTFLMAO

If the bill is eventually accented to by the governor, it will now become a crime for any cattle, sheep and goat to graze on undesignated land for ranches in Ekiti.

“The Governor shall by an order designates land in each of 16 Local Government Areas in the state in respect of which Cattle or Ruminants may be permitted to graze.

The rest are,” No person shall cause or permit any cow, oxen, sheep as well as goat under his or her control to graze on any land in which the Governor has not designated as ranches” among others.

“No cattle or other ruminants shall by any means move in the night, movement shall be between 7 a.m and 6p.m”

First they came out to shout "no to grazing," but now the same government is making provision for grazing lands within its jurisdiction. Awada kerikeri!

In addition, anyone familiar with Ekiti State will know that restricting the movement of goats to ranches is not going to fly, maybe it will in some parts of Ado-Ekiti sha. Still, a step, and a nice one at that, is better than no step.

I took over a Nigeria that was the second largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $270.5 billion in 2009, I handed over a Nigeria that had grown to become the largest economy in Africa and the 24th largest economy in the World, with a GDP of $574 billion

So the Otuokean mean to tell us that the Nigerian economy grew by more than 200% during his (mal)administration, ko?

What these people fail to realize is the shame and ridicule the biafra movement has become ever since Nnamdi kanu was discovered to be a fraud and arrested by the Nigerian government. Right to self determination is a treasonable offense against the Nigerian state because it's not captured in our Constitution. It is totally illegal for any region or group of people to demand seccession from Nigeria. The penalty would have been death if we were in a military regime. The Indian government recently opened fire on secessionist in the Kashmir region of India just to serve as a deterrent to future agitators. Despite having a referendum, Scotland chose to remain in the UK cos they for-saw their impending doom if they decide to leave. The Spanish government have disregarded several calls for catalonia to break away from spain. Russia recently annexed crimea from Ukraine after the crimeans got tired of life outside the soviet Union. The people of South Sudan are regretting their decision to leave Sudan till today and yet the Igbo's are hell bent on having biafra despite all the glaring indices of an impending failure if biafra is ever achieved. No country in the world wants a break away of its territory. Even the United States that preaches freedom disregarded Texas's call for seccession. The reason for seccession of the Igbo's has not been clearly defined. The fruitless agitations is fuelled by hate and jealousy of other region's political stability and doggedness. Their political miscalculations in the last elections gave birth to the recent biafra calls headed by the disgruntled element called Nnamdi kanu who was feeding fat on the Biafran sentiment before been apprehended. The British saw a potential in our diversity before merging us together as a united Nigeria and every sane mind believes the future of the Igbo's lie in nigeria. What we need is a united south and we will wrestle political power away from Northern monopoly who sees power as their birth right. Will the Igbo's ever work with bourdillon to achieve a united south? Time will tell. Say no to biafra, God bless Nigeria

You people like changing the narrative to suit your own purpose.

Some people will not kill me with laughter. You say the government has no business in business, yet you scream blue murder whenever the same government takes steps to remove its money from DMBs.

Which everywhere? Is that how developed economies are run? Hell no.

C'mon, besides revenue generation, import duties are used to control consumption of certain products. By lowering the import duty on imported tokunbo cars, the Nigerian government aims to reduce smuggling at our borders and increase revenue generation. Polities around the world, developed and developing alike, adopt similar policies in similar circumstances. Let's consider the content before we criticise.

Bode George calling himself a Yoruba leader is an insult to the rest of us!

"But, some other taxes, which she described as colonial rates, will be jerked up to reflect present realities."

Put one tariff down, bring 10 up. Confused policies up and down. Mschew

That's how it is done everywhere, depending on the direction the government in place wants to follow.

What you do not know is your bane. Personally He speaks to me via dreams and visions or even via a deep inner voice. This may sound all crazy to you but experience is what i have while you have mockery and assumptions.

I had to learn how to know He is the one by comparing his words or dreams with His scripture as spiritual has to be tested with spiritual and discernment.

This is all strange to you so i understand.

So you mean someone might have been speaking to me too through my dreams and thoughts over the years? How illuminating!

naijadeyhia:
wrong! A prayer is an act of Faith and the one praying does get responded to. If you feel it is soliloquy does not stop people from praying or getting their prayers answered.

Proof of a virtual world discussion doesnt mean you are speaking with a person...you may as well be speaking with a bot pre-programmed with responses and you may just be soliloquizing thus.

And how does this response come? Via a little voice in your head or a voice from the wind?
