But MUN doesn't request for TOEFL from Nigeria... Confused..

Has it ever crossed your mind that what you consider as the barest basic may be a luxury to some people. What then do you say about that.

That you don't have kids overseas either means you don't have any kids yet or you cant afford to send them in which case its a luxury for you because it not available for you.

But these other guys can afford it and can pay for it. Its not a luxury to them. They consider it basic to be able to send welfare to their wards.

A set of people cannot afford to educate their wards even in Nigeria. Education is a luxury to them. Whereas for you it is probably one of the basic basics.

That certain things don't concern your world does not mean you should be indifferent or cynical about the plight of those who are affected. You could be the one in their shoes.

Oga, no vex o. But Wetin u dey yan.
Is it the president's fault that oil price keeps decreasing by the minute. If you tell me you don't know that such a thing as this was going to hit the country in our generation then........ The policies may be harsh but it's not one person's fault but all. We called for this when we craved for Italian shoes, american iPad , exotic goods and sorts.
The president is no saint. Whoever says this is Buhari's fault is being sentimental

100%... I also hope PMB can lead by example & have his grandkids school here since his own kids are grown!!!

Be that as it may I'm sure the parents weeping at the banks are not Dangote, Elumelu,Mark, Saraki, Lawan, Oduah, Faleke, Ambode, Fashola, Ekweremadu et al...

The Rich & Political elite are not the ones to cry!! Don't compare apples , oranges..

While on the Topic of luxury, a $1.4k handbag is luxury to me while a 14k one is a basi necessity to Linda Ikeji!! Luxury is relative to income & isn't a concise science...

I know this is not likely to satisfy you though cos you have a set & predetermined mode which will ensure that you nitpick & fault my point, just felt like indulging you!! BYE...

Ah, very good observation. But partly wrong conclusion. Benin was an empire and quite progressive & inclusive too.
I think best thing is to look at the history of those names.

Benin & Oyo empires set their boundary at Otun, in Northern Ekiti.

European visitors in the 15th to 18th century wrote that Benin had about 10,000 standing troops and could easily raise 100,000 soldiers if needs be. Now considering the small population of core Benin people, a vast number was drawn from provinces of Non-Edo of Benin empire of which Eastern Yorubaland was at various times a part. Some great Benin warriors were indeed non-Benin people.

Benin has been a melting pot for centuries. My family members are intermarried with indigenous Urhobo, Igbo, Ijaw and family is indeed partly Yoruba. talented (metal, wood, leather works) people from many corners found their way there. It was the Lagos of those days.

The 1914 agreement (pre-condition) with the British was to renounce claims to all former imperial provinces in order to restore the monarchy.

People bringing tributes to Oba Eweka II at coronation from Ondo in 1914 were refused travel to Benin by British colonial officials.

100 years is a long time. A lot has been lost to history to the point that they would be dismissed as lies today. In that time, the large number of Benin people in Eastern Yorubaland have disappeared into Yoruba.

Life in Lagos & urban Yoruba cities may be liberal now, but of old, you had to be Yoruba or remain outsider, though welcome to live but cannot have privileges of an indigene. Once your name changes from Okunbor to Tokunbor or Ojukwu to Ojikutu, to blend in, your initial identity is gone.

Benin was different. Any self-respecting Benin noble man had Yoruba wives, Igbo wives and wives from other tribes.

In Edo, your name can be Ojo, Bode, Eze, Ike, Isah, Yusuf and present yourself as an Edo and nobody would raise an eyebrow.

For lack of knowledge about your culture you are dodging behind overplayed rhetorics.

How did Ogiso become a worshiper of Olokun?

Who is tompolo? Nigeria has nothing to suffer besides the president is looking towards agriculture and oil has fallen drastically and if care is not taken it will fall to $5 per barrel before the year ends. To hell with tompolo Buhari is a war lord himself let the war begins,its the south that will be most hit. No gots no glory the north is ever ready.

hedonistic:
This is obviously a blatant lie. What this ugly maggot hopes to achieve by telling this needless lie against a harmless and peace loving man like Jonathan is beyond me.
