I am not sure if we are confusing 18 as new age of adulthood with below 16 for statutory rape.

Many young men will admit that they were dis virgin ed by an older ladies. While no reasonable person would approve such behavior, the feeling can be traumatized by opportunistic folks that wait until they see themselves as victims, only after some fame or standard has be achieved.

Like somebody implied, why don't they come out against the poor or ignoramus?

The only time it becomes a big deal in America or Europe is when there is a good sacrificial lamb like minorities. Most of the white men got away or will get away.

The champions of sexual abuses even created magazines and became millionaires. Playboy, Hustler etc.

It still baffles me when Okorocha became so hated that they have lumped with hardcore looters all over the country.

The real purpose here is to confuse Nigerians so that we cannot distinguish one looter from the others.

When Muritala Mohamed declared all his loot and decided to prosecute the hardcore looters like himself, they gunned him down.

What is the difference between OkoroHausa and OkoroAtiku?

Even a devil can save Nigeria if his fellow devils do not pull him down. Which angel is stupid enough to get corrupted trying to save Nigeria?

Poor Nigeria, who loves you? Nobody!

The same people celebrating this denial of a witness, not waiting if it stands up against prior testimonies in USÀ, British and this very court will cry about the degridation of their land, cry about shitty country and ethnic sympathy. All at the expense of Nigeria.

Yet, they claim they have no clue why the country is dying. Stop blaming the politicians. You worship them, voted for them, defend them and you deserve everyone of them.

Oh, I forgo that you even celebrated Ibori no court could find guilty at home but only in British court.

The world academic institutions used Yoruba as a case study of the world's best religious tolerance. Yet, some people try to divide Yoruba along religious line.

It will not work despite the cry of some Yoruba extremists. They have no support in Yoruba culture.

Take your hijab or whatever to blazes.

A ki ngba WERE mo ESIN.

While I can understand your frustration compared to poor unpaid workers at home, you are undercutting your own argument by encouraging lawlessness of looters. No allocated money for anything is safe again in Nigeria. Someone along the line would be bold enough to divert it.

You call the players rich. And so what? They should lose money agreed to be paid? All the excuse that it came late is nonsense. If they do not refuse to play or train, they will never get their money. Apart from that, some international players have to bribe to play.

Your indignation is understandable but inadvertently encouraging corruption. None payment of what Nigerians are entitled to is now a constant part of our life.

Those old enough cannot even contemplate non-payment of salaries of workers in Nigeria. We used to lend other countries money to pay their workers!

Donwyz:
.I know that it is their right to demand for their pay but most of them end millions and millions of naira from their clubs every week and this money doesn't even compare. there are better ways of demanding for their pay instead of embarrassing the nation publicly. The captain should engage the management of the federation and I know very well that the federation is trying and maybe the present lack of sports minister is affecting this payment issue too. This players are fucken greedy abeg. Last year at the world cup they got all their money before the competition started and they couldn't even get pass the group stage. There are civil servants and public servants in Nigeria especially the army that work even harder than this yeye footballers but they don't end up to half of what this players end from the country still they parade themselves as ungrateful humans...They are a lot of youths in Nigeria looking for an opportunity to play football for Nigeria even for as low as 100thousand monthly but this ones are privileged but greedy as well. playing for their nation should be a thing of pride. Them de mad sef. if they like make dem no train

It should be so in every state - Amnesty Int.

I have no problem with you since the story of your uncle said it all. I just wonder where he got that from and passed it not only to you but his children.

But the the President of USA was cultured enough to give up his Bed on Air Force One and slept on the floor so that an elder former President could rest his old bone.

There is an Igbo proverb that says even when respect is accorded to the elderly, reference is given to achievements.

We have a 85 year old, whether or not he achieved anything, has become a subject of dispute over a seat. Are these Africans children?

asuustrike1:
It is good to respect elders no doubt but elders should use their brain in public. If Prof had pleaded with the young man to allow him have the seat, I don't think this would have generated to this level. Even in motor parks I see many old men and women begging for front seat it doesn't make them stupid rather it is the right thing to do.Do you know that my uncle still washes his plate after eating? Even when I insist I do that he bluntly refuse. Now tell me if I would let him leave the chair after eating knowing fully well what he will do. Respect is earned

We hear this all the time. Who developed the business culture?

Have you ever heard about Japanese or Chinese business culture practiced and taught to English and American business men?

asuustrike1:
Here you go again! In business or in a public setting you don't bring your cultural norm to play. If it were to be so there would have been anarchy and chaos. I have seen an old man politely begging a young man to excuse him? would you say the old man degrade himself or he applied wisdom ?. You stick to your culture when you meet your own not forcing on the throat of other people. Wouldn't the accused had left the seat if it was a white man? Same Prof would respect himself if he in USA but would come here an claim right all in the name of culture.

Unfortunately, this has turned to politics and rights. One person even claimed Soyinka supported Buhari.

Who sold this to us, replace our culture with fake culture they do not even put into practice. The first time I saw an American got up for an older man in the bus, I wondered.

But Nigerians wey don open eye never fails to surprise us. One student in Europe, I read, even told the father to wash his plate. He stopped paying her fees.

Let me point it out that Bill Clinton was the President of USA when he gave up his bed on Air Force One for former President Papa Bush on a foreign trip. Mind you, he defeated Papa Bush as President.

With dis shidren, Africa Don caput. No be curse o.

Primitive tribal mindset, eh? Who trained you about who or what is primitive?

I guess Europeans or Czechoslovakia Czech that fough tribe by tribe from house to house are not primitive, abi.

If you had stayed on greed, fine. It is the dividing line in Nigeria. Tribe is cover-up.

If you want to claim scholarships in two states, benefits and privileges in two states, usurp other's land and dominate them. It is called greed.

Go learn the difference.

Native dress or attire?

Try again biko.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this about how Bini came to live in the 15 century only by the importation of brass from Portugal to make what Yoruba taught Bini to make century before.

Thanks to Wole Soyinka for destroying everything they projected by telling them Africa was a functional civilization before the coming of the Europeans that came to loot.

You need to go read more about Yoruba Iron, beads and terracotta from Nok cultute to Iwo Eleru. Please stop displaying your ignorance here.

Bini were taught how to be Great by Oba Yoruba before the Barbarians became civilized by the Greeks that learned from Sudan influence in Egypt.

There are many Kings in Lagos with many towns and villages.

Baby,

Sometimes one has to wonder who we are discussing this with. Imagine that they think Lagos only has one Oba, that Iga is a city or Oba Bini was Ogiso.

I am waiting for the day, the Ogiso will be bold enough to chose an Oba without Yoruba blood and name.

You are just like a broken record repeating your fantasies.

Why depend so much on the story of Oba of Lagos whose generational father was Alagba from Ilesha that married the last survival daughter of Ashipa, the first king of Lagos that married a daughter of Oba of Bini, a Yoruba from Ife?

Ashipa an Awori married the daughter of Oba Bini from Ife as a compromise crown king of Lagos after returning a fallen invader to Bini.

So, no matter what, Bini ruling class remains Yoruba any day. The story Oba of Lagos was telling you referred to the generational mother, daughter of Oba Bini a Yoruba from Ife that married the daughter of Edo.

Stop masturbating by repeating your fantasies.

prolog3111:
The problem with many Yoruba imbeciles is that you guys are ethnocentric and you confuse your ethnocentric feelings of superiority with actual facts. You were raised with stories fabricated by your elders, these stories placed your people at the centre, but in reality, you are nothing but a vassal people who's origins lay between Benin Kingdom, Oyo kingdom, Dahomey and Brazil. The story about ife is just one of those fabricated Yoruba tales. Long before colonisation, literate people had already been visiting the region. And they recorded what they saw. Their notes are available for all to see. That is why your lies will never work.

So buying and selling on the streets is what you call biz. It is called retail or petty biz without paying taxes.

Bro, yes I feel ashamed when foreigners catch any Nigerian, even more so when foreigners that have never been to Nigeria pin point where these criminals come from in Nigeria.

No amount of money can erase the blemishes all criminal activities bring on Igbo, Yoruba or Fulani. It creates nothing but poverty and more poor people.

Igbo has gone beyond all groups in greed seeking riches that are not productive. Your chest beating over criminality is astounding with approval from your region.

Even worse, you have nothing to show for it but blemishes.

Elvis778:
like i correctly spelt in my previous comment,
i said "MOST SUCCESSFUL IN TERMS OF BUSINESS"
please if you know any other tribe that beat us in that, tell me.

Meanwhile. The OP was being ridiculous, cuz this story is FAKE.
You've also failed to understand that the problem we are facing in diaspora is not affecting only the igbos, but all Nigerians.
The xenophobia in SA claimed the lives of many Nigerians, both Igbos, Yorubas etc were killed.
Same thing in Ghana,
the attack on Nigerian traders both in Kumasi (2018) and suame (recently) was against all Nigerians and not only Igbos, why do you choose to put the blame on us?
Why do you choose to bring "Ethnicity" into every matter??
Why?
If not JEALOUSY.
This stuff happening is against all Nigerians and affects our image as a whole, and not only igbos cuz those guys you see don't know the difference between us at all.
So Please bro,
learn to reason like a rational being,
learn to control your emotions cuz u own it,
it's cowardice to let what you own control you.

Are you the most successful Nigerians as a group or your region is? Educate us and tell us when.

Every time, Yoruba call their own to order - Yoruba Ronu. They also live with you in a country where one finger dipped in the oil infects others.

Which Igbo calls Igbo to order without being dealt with?

Instead of you to face your rampaging problem inside and outside Nigeria like Yoruba do, you are using Jealousy as defensive mechanism.

Inside Nigeria you are Biafrans, outside you are Nigerians. When you realize the shame and blemishes you put on innocent Igbo, this cultue of arrogance becoming common among all Nigerians will reduce.

Elvis778:
ok,
i will answer your question.
the answer is simple,
Jealousy.
Am not saying this because am an igbo,
IGBOS seem to be the most successful tribe in Nigeria(in terms of business) they are also most travelled....
A yoruba friend personally told me the beef between us and other tribe ain't cuz of our attitude, it's simply cuz of jealousy and we all know that.
Besides, this story is FAKE, you know that, we all do,
but all of u wud agree, cuz u are JEALOUS.

If anyone is paying attention, everything in the country today is about money money money.

Value and morals have gone out of psych. No wonder Nigeria made all that money only to create the greatest number of poor people in the world.

When are we going to learn? Teachers used to be the most Noble profession.

Just wishing and praying that this is true.

These are the type of people we need to show our youths what money means and what money can do. Riches, good moral characters and goodwill can change a village, a town into a civilized city block by block.

Others will contribute and propagate good deeds instead of the sickening "gifted" we see every time as self masturbation.

In the days we respected ourselves at home with the pride and world's expectation of becoming the regional power, any Country inside or outside Africa would think twice before dissing Nigeria.

We sent Africa countries teachers, magistrates, doctors and administrators. What do we send them today?

Criminals from self-a claimed shiithole country.

How do they feel after the hangover?

Start planning for another source of income while poverty multiply at home. They feel good as a blind men in the land of the blinds or as drunken sailors in Dubai where their fine Iadies suck poo.

Sometimes I wonder if Bini mouths, especially the non-Yoruba among them trying to drive out their Oba back to Ife; do not bleed.

For now, they will look for support anywhere to lay a false claims to a land they never had beyond Iga. It is surrounded by Awori compounds right there in Isaleko.

The same Ajayi Bembe told them about Awori but included Bini that they never knew in Lagos until they became the conquered of Yoruba Oba.

Apart from the victory of Oluwa Tijani that reclaimed every inch of land for Africans from the British, not only in Lagos. Ikoyi was recently reclaimed from the Federal Government.

Where were Yoruba slaves we named Bini in these land-s reclaimed in Lagos from the British and Federal Government?

It's a good thing, Bembe reminded them that the whole of Edo itself was part of Yoruba land (the WEST).

MetaPhysical:
Just ask them what part of Lagos they own. Simple! That will settle it.

We have records of Dosunmu ceeding Lagos in 1861 treaty. The Idejo Chiefs told Beecroft Dosunmu can only ceede his crown and throne, not land.

Hence the crown was forbidden from ever again paying tribute to Benin. It started paying tribute to Queen Victoria and her descendants. Thanks Oba Dosunmu.

On issue of land Britain left it for the owners. Chief Amodu Oluwa even sued the Governor General of the Colony and got a victory in the Privy Council in England when the colonials claimed Apapa belonged to them. By extension the victory covered all lands held by children of Olofin as rightful owners. Its on record that the throne of Lagos does not own a single land beside that on which the palace sits. So what does Benin own in Lagos and where? It doesnt even have right of ownership on the throne any longer, not since 1861.

These histories are in record....not some frivolous cooked up stories that lacked fact and authenticity.

Where is Dora Akiyunli when you need her? May her soul rest in peace.

Nigerians and their pastors will never buy or make this type of plane

South African teens attempt Cape-to-Cairo in homemade plane
By Mohammed Allie
BBC News, Cape Town
16 June 2019

Megan (R) is one of the pilots and Agnes (L) is flying as part of the support team
An aircraft built by South African teenagers is being flown from Cape Town to Cairo - and has successfully made its first stop in Namibia.

It will take six weeks to cover the 12,000km (7,455 miles) to Egypt.

The four-seater Sling 4 plane was assembled by a group of 20 students from vastly different backgrounds.

"The purpose of the initiative is to show Africa that anything is possible if you set your mind to it," said 17-year-old pilot Megan Werner.

The teenagers built the aircraft in three weeks, from a kit manufactured in South Africa by the Airplane Factory. The kit came with thousands of small parts that had to be assembled.

"Looking at the plane, I am so proud of myself, I can't believe what we've done. I feel like this is my baby. I cherish her," said Agnes Keamogetswe Seemela, a 15-year-old from Munsiville township in Gauteng province.

"It flies so smoothly and the views were breathtaking," she said of its maiden voyage, from Johannesburg to Cape Town, ahead of the official start of the trip.

At first people in my community were shocked - they didn't believe me when I told them I helped build a plane... But now they're actually very proud of me"
Agnes Keamogetswe Seemela
Student, 15, from Munsiville township
"I was involved in putting together the centre fuselage as well as the horizontal and vertical stabilisers. And I also helped a bit with the wings."

The 15-year-old said she hoped her efforts would inspire others like her. "At first, people in my community were shocked - they didn't believe me when I told them I helped build a plane which we will be flying from Cape Town to Cairo," she said.

"But now they're actually very proud of me."

It takes 3,000 man hours to assemble a Sling 4 plane
It was 17-year-old Megan who started the project, and those who joined her U-Dream Global initiative were whittled down from more than 1,000 applicants.

She was one of six in the group to have obtained a pilot's licence, and the six will share flying duties in their silver aircraft, which is emblazoned with maps of Africa on both wings together with sponsor's logos.

"Getting a pilot's licence is equivalent to completing a degree - doing so when I had to study for my mid-year school exams wasn't easy," said Megan, who had her school-leaving exams in October to revise for, alongside her flight preparations.

BBC
It's just awesome to see how inspired people are by what we've done"
Megan Werner, 17
Pilot and U-Dream Global founder
Her father, Des Werner, who is a commercial pilot, said it would normally take 3,000 man hours to assemble a Sling 4.

"If you divide it by 20 kids working under supervision then you can do it in three weeks. The engine and avionics were fitted by specialists, but the building was all done by the kids," he said.

'It gave me goose bumps'
The team's first stop was in the southern Namibian coastal town of Luderitz. The plane has a six-and-a-half hour flying range and other stops on the way to Egypt will be in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia and Eritrea.

They will take a different route on the return journey that will include stops in Uganda, Rwanda, Zambia and Botswana.

A support Sling 4 plane flown by professional pilots will accompany the teen flyers, who said they planned to do motivational talks for other teenagers along the way.

"It's just awesome to see how inspired people are by what we've done," said Megan. "It gave me goose bumps."

I have nothing but respect for the Nigerians telling the truth here at the risk of being attacked.

In the early 80s, Nigerians sent Ghanaians out because they were the ones committing "all" the crimes and their women were the prostitutes.
Since then crime and prostitutions have not only increased exponentially in Nigeria, it has crossed the border and spread to the same Ghana and South Africa. When people are bold enough to cross their own states and country to commit heinous crime outside!

Nigeria made more money from oil than the gods but got poorer and became the poorest. Who tells you money can make you rich?

We need to look inwards and ask how we lost our moral character for oil money? Any money allocated for anything including salaries are not safe anymore. Unheard of in Nigeria to steal salaries, steal at local areas like councils or state.

Go on blaming Ghana for your blemishes that disgrace us outside.

The professor needs to devise a way to expose his own country, not the country where he makes his living, talking nonsense. How many Ghanaians professors dare say that in Nigeria?

I feel ashamed when a tiny country like Cape Verde many Africans have never heard about were throwing Nigerians out. Now Togo apart from Ghana, South Africa etc are on the watch for Nigeria's kidnappers. All these Nigerians breaking their necks so that they can come home and prise God for "blessing" them.

In the meantime, the number of poor people are growing unchecked.

Human kidnapping for ransom was limited to oil producing areas where foreigners were taken by gunmen. Unfortunately, it has spread. Others African countries are on alert-watch for them

How soon some people forget and even twisted what happened at Isagamu when Hausa woman violated local custom to observe ORO.

For the first time, Hausa were were disciplined. When their dead bodies got to Kano, they retaliated.

But note that before then, nobody dared touch Hausa/Fulani, no matter what. It was after that they were disciplined in Enugu or so.

Isagamu was not the only time, Hausa were also disciplined at Idi Araba, until their Seriki sued for peace. But no one can provoke Yoruba into retaliation until they are ready. Yoruba do not go into battle without thinking.

A curfew was imposed on Sagamu by the State governor (PANA 19 July 1999; Post Express 22 July 1999). A few days later the clashes spread to Kano state, reportedly in response to the return to the state of Hausa persons who fled Sagamu (IRIN 23 July 1999; Post Express 28 July 1999; World Socialist Web Site 17 Aug. 1999). While IRIN reported on 23 July 1999 "no confirmed" deaths, Post Express reported on 17 July 1999 "no fewer than 30 persons were feared dead" in Kano, and that the "death toll had risen to 40" by the next day (28 July 1999). On 31 July 1999 The Economist reported that President Obasanjo had sent a delegation to Sagamu and that it "had been alarmed by the extent of damage and loss of life."

July 18 is it. I think.

Lagos before foreign oil income. Before they trooped and still trooping to Lagos to overwhelm infrastructure and decent way of life.

Now you know what "sheetie" places they come from and why they project that on all of us.

It was when we had Keep Lagos Clean!

This is how Africans were colonized, reorientated and rebranded by Christian and Muslim missionaries.

You see the consequences of colo-mentality today.

The money, culture, food, good and services we use today are those given to us. Try and take any of these away, they will fight you to death.

They will even call you local, uncivilized and crude. Every day they cry to God to pick up their calls and deliver them from "shiitteass" countries their benefactors called them.

Bet on it as usual.
