Does a party chairman has the powers to instruct the IGP to shut a state assembly?

It's dehydration according to the nff

Rhea:
Misplaced priority. Donating a building to a university that charges an arm and a leg as tuition, while ignoring many other universities that charge less fees.

About the cheapest private university in Nigeria. All the ones donated to public universities what has happened to them? From multi purpose classrooms to halls of residence, check how they are faring currently.

flokii:
It won't change the fact that it's a glorified secondary school churning out half-baked graduates.

A Uni. without college of medicine or Law degree programs.. is that one school?
Even their Engineering is wack, it's only to put on tie and suit with nothing upstairs they know.

You really didn't have to contribute you know? It's just an advise though.

Beninempire:
everyone knows that. UK just gave Muslims Nigeria not because they have higher population.

States in the north like Bauchi has like 25% Christians, taraba has 80% , Adamawa has 35% Christians.

Kaduna,kano, jigawa, borno has huge number of indigenous Christians unlike their southern counterpart that you hardly find indigenous Muslims.

In south west, only Oyo and osun has high Muslim population. Ondo, Ekiti, Ogun and Lagos are Christians majority.

In north central, Christians dominate plateau,benue. Has high numbers in kogi, kwara and nassarawa.

In ss/se only auchi in Edo north has high population of indigenous Muslims but they going down in a rapid speed. You can find churches in every street in auchi now and Christians now have higher population than them.

I don't believe in this Muslim majority.

Christians are like 59% of the country population, Muslims 35%> traditionist take the remaining.

Auchi, Agenebode, uromi, Ewu etc have large population of Muslims

TAO11:
I made a number of statements. Which, precisely, of them is not correct?

Moreover, quote me the precise contrary statements from the names you mentioned and the names of their works (please add the page numbers).

Thanks! Lol

For Smith, read "Kingdoms of the Yoruba". I already provided the name of Strides and Ifeka's book.

TAO11:
Decree (or power) which brings forth existence!

I'm still unsure what you would use all these meanings for.

But certainly it's good to always learn.

Thanks

TAO11:
Listen to Oba Ewuare II when he also agrees with the Yorubas that:

Oranmiyan is the first Oba of Benin and that he is from Ile-Ife.

Refer from time 13:22 to time 13:41


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXvXupQwaz0

Also, Oranmiyan in Yoruba means:

My problem is solved.

Oran-mi = My problem, my issue, or my crime, etc.

Yan = Solved or resolved.

I'm not sure what you need the meaning for, but that's it.

Thanks!

Thanks. But his father does not agree with that stand

TAO11:
Aworis own the Island too.

In fact the Island was their first settlement when they first arrived in the Lagos region from Ile-Ife.

It wasn't until at least a century later before the foreign Bini invaders joined them on their Island settlement.

Although the foreign Bini invaders' monarchy was later sacked by the indigenous Yoruba people after their fourth Bini rule.

That's not correct. Please read peoples and empires of West Africa by G.T Stride and C. Ifeka, Robert Smith's book on Yoruba and other literatures on this

compton11:
guarani is native america language speaking in paraguay

Spoken in Brazil too but it's not same as Yoruba language. Thanks all the same

Kokoebapluse:
According to ifa ( Oracle)( odu) means something like title or let say topic.

And( iwa) means character. As ifa ( Oracle) say and show about destiny of odudua it means (title of character) and they name him after his destiny according ifa view, but as time passes on and people pronounced change it as normal thing as we all know so they turn it to odudua, but his real name is (odu iwa.)

Thanks

Kokoebapluse:
you no dey shame? How can you say death is children of sleep? Can't you see big distance? How can you say Yoruba come from Benin? Go to Congo, Benin republic,Togo, etc there some native Yoruba in those countries they called them (yorubodie ) there are also some part here in Nigeria and their tongue is very close to Yoruba and the some word meaning are close to each other example igala in kogi, it's easier to communicate between yorubodie than Beni people, it's clear that yoruba have 1 tongue before it split around Africa and overseas, and the fact is oromiyan ( deaf and dumb) one of odudua son was father of Beni people. Pls show some respect we are your father not your brother or son. Ok?

What does Oduduwa mean?

Westtimeline:
[s][/s]

Useless Benin, always want to be noticed. You will find your descendants in Italy doing ashawo.

It's wrong to call an entire people useless

compton11:
they cant speak shit.

I think they call it guarani

Gratefulheart01:
I think it was during the slave-trade migration, not only Brazil but other countries too. Then lots of Yorubas indegene of other africa countries like Togo, Benin republic and co.

But the most wide spread Nigerian tribe are the Hausa/fulanis. I think there usual illiteracy, religious fanaticism and the rest is why no one is talking about them.

Ghana been making efforts to drive out the ga fulani tribe out of Ghana since.

The Fulanis have the widest spread but they originally are not from present day Nigeria. They conquered the territories they presently occupy. The Hausas are different from the Fulanis

majamajic:
I think Yorubas are from Brazil , just like Igbos from isreal , hausas are from Mali ?

I heard

I have a Yoruba friend from Santos in Lagos island , his granddaddy is from Brazil ,

Those folks in Santos, and many part of Lagos Island have Brazilian descendants. They do their carnival every year. They call themselves Brazilian carenas

Mraphel:
ORANMIYAN the first Oba of Benin traces his Origin to ile ife

How did he trace it? What is the meaning of Oranmiyan in Yoruba?

Unlimitk:
Do u know that the now known lagos state was taken out of remo land and ijebu land in ogun state
Places like sagamu had their land carved into Ogun state and places like ikorodu are part of ijebu land
Most of Lagos now were taken out of ogun state and Lagos is d smallest state in Nigeria
There are many kings in Lagos who don't make noise like oba of Lagos, saying that because he is called oba of Lagos then he controls all of Lagos is a lie
The Lagos oba of Lagos control is very small
Ask anybody
Do u know of oba of elegushi
Oba of ikorodu and so on
Awori ppl are the owner of most of Lagos
The area in Lagos that was under Benin ppl was very small
Do u know there is a place called abule egba in Lagos?
Abule means village in Yoruba language,egba ppl are mostly in Abeokuta in Ogun state, but abule egba was their land before
Many places in the now known Lagos had no influence from Benin
The place oba of Lagos has domain over in Lagos is very small
It is because of d name Lagos,everybody thinks he control everywhere in Lagos
Saying Lagos is Bini land is dumb and stupid
Awori and egba and ijebu ppl land in Lagos alone is more than 70% of Lagos
Are they Benin ppl?

Historical, Awori owns most part of Lagos except the Island which belonged to the Binis but not even the whole of it

saheedbadmus:
gradually this people don dey accept our tradition pass we wey get am o..

They are Yorubas too. They are descendants of people taken from Yoruba land. To get the real Yoruba cultural practices and traditions, they probably are the best outside the traditional rulers

Compare this 19 year old to those that represented Nigeria at the U20 world cup

Seychelles was hot in December

Benekruku:
Tell me am wrong and prove it

In the last 20years, dies Oyedepo profit making buisness apart from collecting tithes and offering way back Gowon Estate

You need to be certain that he touches the those funds you mentioned

Benekruku:
Is it not tithe and offering that built it. It belongs to the chruch and every member is a stakeholder of the university as in one-way or the other, a penny from their pocket contributed to it.

CU was built in the foundation of Gods doings and what ever decisions made should be godly.

God giveth and taketh. Let God judge the thief. God's plan.

God knew he will steal the money even before he thought of it

Were you part of the building committee?

Benekruku:
Can't Oyedepo forgive and forget.

That's what the Bible preaches.

He should leave him to God.


But at a time, Baba knows their is no God. Religion is a salvery tool. Baba will fight for his money.

180M is too much to leave for God to deal with

Oyedepo is not the VC of CU. It is not Oyedepo's money, it is CU's. An organisation.

Victorclean1:
Quite unfortunate you don't follow the real world politics. USA was very friendly to China for upto twenty years but China was secretly using that previledge to steal and manipulate US to gain more power. Is like someone you are helping stabbing you at the back . Steal and spying on USA secret information . They did whole lot under especially under Obama negligence

Where do you folks get your own history from? China became this big because they were forced into isolation through different policies by Western countries led by the US. The US and allies were equally forced to recognise the strength of the Chinese when they had no adequate response to China's emergence as an economic power.

CAPSLOCKED:
SAYS THE MAN THAT BELIEVES SNAKES COULD TALK.




IN VERSE 41, JESUS SAID :
"I AM TIRED OF TREKKING, PLEASE BUY ME A CAR"

The offerings you give does it go to God physically? And I can't see where I ever believed snakes talk

CAPSLOCKED:
I LEARNED FROM HIS STATEMENT THAT GOD NEEDS A CAR..
BECAUSE TREKKING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR AN INVISIBLE MAN

Your knowledge ability or textual comprehension is weak

Elmojiid:
and he drive the car?

Try adopt reasoning. When you give offering in church or mosque, does it go straight into God's hands?

MJBOLT:

so an omnipotent god now swears that's how one idiot said god drinks tea with him

Read the Bible. Hebrews 6:13. God swore.
