Gadafii: i remembered sometimes i used to cum with just Mouth Action or few thrust thats not beyond 30 seconds
my most embarrassingmoment was ejaculating while putting on condom, omo i cast for the girl front, until i started working on my mind and pre-intimacy..i made sure before i even penetrate her i would have made her climax by working on her pucc with my fingers...guys concentrate on her upper oart of her pucc and place a firm finger or two on it and do a ciricular motion, pick pace at interval..she would be more than satisfied 
after then, while digging in, measure ur thrust, slow steady, then pick pace again like four fast thrust in two seconds, then slow down again, if you notice you are approaching climax, pull out completely and relax, drink chill water and rest well before you continue..but u must know that ur first climax is difficult to control, but if you gain an erecksion within minutes after you climax, your second cuming will take forever if you follow the procedure above Mu nighi follow dis op |

Oduduwa was a work of fiction by him, he formed the story of Oduduwa from his head in a bid to unite Yorubas after the yoruba Civil War in 1897

TAO11: LMAO!
At this point, I can only laugh off my head and also have pity on these Benin laughing stocks for their palpably perceptible insecurity.
May God lay his hands on you all and free you all from the grip of inferiority complex. Amen! 
Now to debunking your heap of crap as I am used to doing: 
(1) Regarding the phrase “Lago de Curamo” with which Ruy de Sequeira described the ‘water’ around the island:
“Lago” is a Portuguese word — it means “lake”.
“Lagos” is a Portuguese word — it means “lakes”.
“Curamo” is NOT a Portuguese word — it doesn’t mean jack. 
If “Curamo” meant jack in Portuguese, then historians would not have ignored the Portuguese language in their quest for its meaning.
Historians deem it to have been derived from one of the native/indigenous names of Lagos island itself.
And as the account published in D’Avezac (1845) has shown on page 26, the Portuguese usage of this [local] name of Lagos is older than Binis’ later usage. 
The phrase “Lago de Curamo” actually relates to the ‘water’ surrounding Èkó itself — “Lake of Curamo”
And the most rational explanation (in the light) of all the adduced facts and historical information is that the Portuguese rendering “Curamo” derived from a well known native name of Lagos, viz. Eko-Aromi [re], sometimes also Eko-Aromi [sa]. 
(2) Regarding your tears about “Lekki”: You May cry all you want, but “Lekki” is the name, not “Eki”. LMAO!
Moreover, it was never a market place, much less a Benin market place — but I understand your search for relevance as the Bini person that you are.
Lastly, your “Quora” informant is partly correct. (S)he is correct to the extent that “Lekki” came to be named after a European who once resided there.
However, your informant is mistaken if he indeed said that he is a Portuguese. No he isn’t a Portuguese.
Captain Leckie is an Englishman [not a Portuguese], and was the first Englishman to settle at the town.
He is said to have lived at the town for a considerable length of time, and he was reported to be very, very sociable.
Binis e-miscreants will find peace the day they would hug the harsh [to them] reality that the limits of Benin kingdom is confined to Benin city and its surrounding Edoid areas.
Peace!

TAO11: LMAO!
For the sake of educating you, Ruy de Sequeira is the name of the European explorer who described the waters of Lagos area by the words Lago de Curamo, meaning Lake of Curamo. De Sequeira’s exploration of the west African coast was around the year 1472.
The foregoing details on Ruy de Sequeira’s “Lago de Curamo” is at least according to a chronicle written in the 1500s, and first published in the year 1563 by Antonio Galvão. Refer to reference below:
Antonio Galvão, ”Tratado Dos Descobrimentos,” 1563, p. 129.
I don’t have any screenshot to help you with. You do the work you needed me to do for you. 
Now you have the reference. Go ahead and hop from library to library. 
Cheers!
Cc: rhektor, lifeisgood12 I want to ge this fact correctly You first attempt was that curamo was a word derived from a yoruba lingua.... But Ruy de Sequeira’s “Lago de Curamo” you mentioned talks about him naming lagos after curamo a name in Portuguese meaning healing...... So i want to know ma where do you stand so i can proceed... Further Tao11 Cc: rhektor, lifeisgood12[/quot Smauk Ugbe Etinosa123 Davinazee Your argument here is baseless and provoking There is no word like curamo in Portuguese the closest you can get is curar meaning healing Then my question is why did the Portuguese name lagos lake of curar if we are to help assume curamo was a corrupt form of curar Did any significant thing happen maybe a miraculous healing on a Portuguese sailor or a religious revelation giving to one of the sailors while sailing on the coast of lagos Any If any of this assumption had taken place it would have been noted and documented by the protuguese for such important significant associated with healing.... If this our assumptions were correct then were is the Portuguese document relating to the name lago de curamo, if there is non then our assumptions were to far fetched i would say.... This is basically an attempt by Nigerians to whitewash their history for their usual supiority complex over other tribe.... And again lago was the derivative giving by the Portuguese and not the name lagos, why did we corrupt lago to the city lagos in Portugal.... Another inferiority complex that we need to look into A yoruba guy on quora attempted to change the world lekki to a Portuguese name, according to him, lekki is a name of a Portuguese slave owner.... When it is clearly an edo word for market... Eki meaning market in edo, which partained to the the market activites going on in lagos in those centuries Now i begin to imagine when a Portuguese person storm upon that yoruba guy statement on quora he will begin to wonder how on earth the name lekki is a name in their dialect he is not aware of, his conclusion would be the yoruba nigga is not highly educated to know the word lekki is an African word and he may give the impression we are truly advance monkeys..... |

samuk: I only intervened because of how you tried to downplay the significance of Benin supplied guns and ammunitions in the Kiriji war. If Ijebu supplied guys at all, they were insignificant as I have already shown in my earlier intervention.
The name Kiriji itself was named after the reverberating sounds, Ki-ri-ji-i of Benin supplied guns. Or should I say the war itself got it's name Kiriji from the sound of Benin guns.
The report by the British governor, R. E. Dennett that the Alaafin he visited told him of his predecessors paying tributes to Benin is firmly established in the pre colonial history of Nigeria and your fable attempts to deny it will only end here on nairaland. The history has already been written in history books.
Again the Alaafin that told Hugh Clapperton in 1824 that he has sent for his friend the Oba of Benin for troops to assist him didn't say the Alaafin paid for such services/help from the Oba of Benin. The issue of payment was purely your own makeup.
All you have written, are attempts to downplay, misrepresent what actually happened and what was actually recorded to have been said.
You were not there when the British governor visited the Alaafin to know what was discussed. Why would the British governor lied about what the Alaafin told him? The British were not Benin best friends Judging from what they wrote about Benin and the subsequent destruction of the city and stealing of her artefacts.
I quoted verbatim, I didn't add my opinions and meanings into the historical narratives I presented, whilst your reply is laced with conjectures, ifs, maybe this, maybe that, you even implied that the British governor R. E. Dennett lied in his report.
Must everyone that doesn't agree with your ethnic biases be liars.

TAO11: First of all, I am shocked (like Buhari ) that you just stumbled upon R.C.C. Law’s “Trade and Politics behind the Slave Coast” only last night.
For your information, some of us have jacked same material a long time ago, and have seen the page 330 where Ogieiriaixi was said to have given his personal guess of what he thinks “CuRamo” may mean.
First thing first: Ogieiriaixi is an Edo man, and he was decent enough to have made it clear that he doesn’t know what he himself is saying for certain. He made it clear that he was simply guessing.
Secondly, his guess is unfortunately wrong (not merely because of his Edo bias, but) because of the simple explanation below:
(1) Benin didn’t have connections with Lagos until in the mid/late-1500s.
(2) Yet the Portuguese who visited Lagos in the 1400s, encountered the name Curamo/Koráme there.
(3) The only indigenous name of Lagos from which de Sequeira could have gotten his transcription is none other than the well known indigenous Lagos phrase:
EkoAromi-re/EkoAromi-sa — that is, EkoAromi.
(4) This (i.e. EkoAromi) is consistent with the historical timelines of Portuguese’s first contact with Lagos vis-a-vis Benin’s first contact with Lagos.
(5) Ogieiriaixi’s guess — on the other hand — is out of touch with the historical timelines of the Portuguese’s contact with Lagos vis-a-vis Benin’s first contact with Lagos.
(6) This (i.e. EkoAromi) is also in consistency with the basic consonantal structure of the Portuguese forms: Curamo/Koráme — that is, “K-R-M”.
(7) Ogieiriaixi’s guess, on the other hand, is out of touch with linguistic reality. It is inconsistent with the basic consonantal structure of the Portugues forms: Curamo/Koráme — that is, NOT “k-N-m”.

lifeisgood12: during the kiriji war, the only role benin played was supplying weapons to both sides. You claim oyo was beaten by benin when benin never even fought them. Benins have never had economic control over the entire lagos, how do you have control over the entire lagos when they only overlooked one of the smallest parts of lagos. "if the aworis and ijebu came to lagos Island to trade they subcome to the benin trade rules", ijebus traded with portuguese even before you lots got to lagos. Which benin trade rules lol , u lack sense. "Again badagary became one of d economic hub with the emerge of slave trade, all forms of trade took place in lagos highland"- where is the source for this. " royalties to the oba of lagos", badagry has never been under the hands of oba of lagos. Benin supplying guns in the kirirji war and yet you still claim benin never participated in the war... Lol... Benin as far history go overlorded the entire yoruba people This guy.... And Your Tribal ego.... It shows you know nothing... Go and read more You have sealed your fate in my hands.... i will leave you with some fragmented screenshot..... Benin had control over the entire lagos island, badagary and ijebu environs that makes the present lagos today Most European saw the influence benins had over the ijebu and accorded ijebu as a tributary of benin This fact is only being disputed by you and your fellow Yorubas because benin didn't besiege ijebu and enact a ruler on it, they probably didnt do that because they already knew the ijebu were already on their political control, just the way the benins gave itsekiri its political autonomy to act as a sovereign state to trade with who ever they wanted to, likewise they granted the ijebu same political autonomy but they formed too stubborn and benin sanctioned the ijebus not to trade with the europeans untill the benins finally pulled all her presence from lagos area in 1700, After the benin withdrawal from lagos around late 1600 lagos was granted full autonomy only to annually return the bodies of their rulers back to benin in every ascertion to the throne, after bini pulled her influence from lagos, badagary soon became autonomous and economic more viable for slave trade , the king of lagos requested the oba of benin military support to reconqer badagary to have it under its control once more which was granted by the oba of benin

lifeisgood12: "You all always get it wrong, because bini influence never got to those areas does that mean benin never ruled them or her influence was not overlording them" - what stupid argument is this? To control and manage colonies, imperialists used different forms and methods. The four forms were colony, protectorate, sphere of influence, and economic imperialism. Two methods included direct control followed by a policy of paternalism and indirect control. Theres no account of benin ever getting to those areas, u agree with that. There is also no evidence benin used puppets for their indirect control. . Hmmm
Where is the source benin kingdom defeated oyos. The only nigerian/outside groups that have ever defeated oyo are nupes, fulanis, dahomeys. U stated "Lagos Island was the econmic hub and the capital of lagos in the 16 century when the benins besieged it,". Lagos island was never the economic hub in the past. Badagry was the economic hub of lagos. Badagry was where slaves were sold and goods were traded the most out of everywhere in modern day southwest.
"These people you mentioned were all present when bini overtook their trading port which was lagos Island, they all fought against the benins but they weren't victorious and they lost"- There has been no evidence benins ever fought with ijebus or oyo. Each yoruba subgroup of them had their territory which they controlled. Aworis, ijebus, oyos and others all had their different territory. "Lagos highland was the capital" - you must have forgotten modern day lagos city is made up of carved parts of ogun state. What century exactly did ijaws/itsekiris get to lagos and name the parts they were in. How can small lagos island be the capital, u need to check a map. Benin defeated oyo during the ekiti parapo war, to protect ekiti a vassal under it from oyo attack.. And yes am aware part of ogun state was added to lagos, there was no ogun state in the past but rather ijebu, me including ijebu covers those ogun state areas added to lagos And yes again benin had economic and political control over the entire lagos, if the aworis and ijebu came to lagos Island to trade they subcome to the benin trade rules, and their various leaders from ikeja, badagary paid royalties to the oba of lagos... Go and read.... I won't spoon food you, i mentioned a book you should read Again badagary became one of d economic hub with the emerge of slave trade, all forms of trade took place in lagos highland....

lifeisgood12: benin only ruled lagos island. Most parts of modern lagos state was controlled by aworis and ijebus. This is the map of modern day lagos state. Read the history of some of those cities/places like ikorodu, agbowa, ifako ijaye, epe were always controlled by ijebus. Ikeja has always been inhabited by aworis and theres no history of benin ruling that part. Badagry was founded by aworis and controlled by oyos. Ive been seeing this misinformation to be common online about benin ruling lagos when most parts of lagos were controlled by other people. You all always get it wrong, because bini influence never got to those areas does that mean benin never ruled them or her influence was not overlording them, These people you mentioned were all present when bini overtook their trading port which was lagos Island, they all fought against the benins but they weren't victorious and they lost Lagos Island was the econmic hub and the capital of lagos in the 16 century when the benins besieged it, the aworis, the ijebus from the hinterland, the oyos all came there to trade with the europeans before the benins later came for their own trading, after a while benin besieged the area, to take full econmic controls and those tribes you mentioned up there fought the benins and lost, thereby subcoming to the benin rulership, Lagos highland was the capital and therefore would show all benin influence and again they were only few benin people who migrated to lagos to take control so her cultural influence couldn't go widespread to all areas like you imagined, but her political influence was all widespread all over lagos, as long as benin took the capital which was lagos highland from the aworis ijaw, ijebu, Itshekiris who traded there before the benins, they therefore all came under the benin rule by default forget your tribal viewpoint youre giving up there i suggest you read benin political rulers hip of lagos it talked about how benin gave autonomy to local former ruler of lagos, to rule their areas as long as they pay royalty to the center which was lagos highland Example, even in the benin kingdom not all towns in the past had an enogie heading them until recently, does that mean because those areas in benin was never ruled by the oba, or because the britsh influence wasnt felt in somepart of nigeria does it now mean britsh political control didnt stretched to them... Common sense bro.. Tribalism won't let you all think outside the box... The truth is benin was the king of southern Nigeria.... Take tribalism away and you will see it, benin conquered for economic benefit those areas benin never touched was because they never saw reasons to invade it, lagos wouldn't have been invaded if the benin were never interested for the econmic benefit of lagos Island The more you read the more you will know benin ruled the entire southern Nigeria directly and indirectly Benin defeated oyo in a war, but didn't besieged it.. Because they never saw economic benefit to, benin outran igalas but never besieged it, those areas benin settled was for a purpose and wasnt for no reason... |
