PoliticsRe: End Of Honorable Mascot Ikwechegh by helinues: 6:47am On Mar 03
If honourable Mascot is really sincere about his allegations, then he shouldn't join Apc cos that means he's about to sell his souls

Selling of one soul's don't mean you need to join one illuminati or occultic group. If you compromise your beliefs for money, you have sold your soul

What we Nigerians should do about this allegations is to take it up and know the real truth. If funds are indeed approved and not get to the destination, who has/have the funds and why?

The lady is not at fault honestly, same as the guy.

You see distance relationship, if you are not disciplined, there is high chance of either or both to mess things up. Psychologically

We all want the best in life, when you meet a new person which met more criteria you are looking for in a partner than your current partner, sponsoring/funding or not, common sense do take over subconsciously
PoliticsWhat Are The Opposition Leaders Going To Do Differently If Elected? by helinues(op): 6:28am On Mar 03
To the opposition leaders in ADC, PDP, LP, what are you going to do differently that will make the glaring difference from what we are currently experiencing in Nigeria?

Return the fuel subsidy?

Continue naira dollar subsidization?

Bring hunger back as one of the opposition leader over the weekend said the farmers will suffer because of price of foods coming down ?

How would they solve the insecurity in the country as this current government score below 30% in that sector

Nigeria fx, High credit score with the international foreign institutions, are they going to reverse the progress?

May be their supporters can help their principals in answering what their party are going to do differently without being emotional, they might win people to their camp

What's the purpose of party members registration online? What will inec use it to do? Does that mean that if I register for APC and change my mind later months, can't I change to something else like pep? What's the implications? I want to learn.
This should help

PoliticsRe: ADC Is Cursed: Members Decry Incompetence In Digital Registration by helinues: 9:47pm On Mar 02
The problem with the ADC digital registration is nobody to fund it.

Atiku funding the process will already make others to know early that the ticket has been reserved for him

Peter Obi and Amaechi would be like, what if I lose the primary after funding.

Ok. The stunted nationalism of different Yoruba states was just short sightedness because what did Ibadan do wrong for wanting to unite the Yoruba? What misuse of power? They left all the traditional structures intact and never removed them anywhere and only posted ajeles for the purpose of tax collection and cooperation
Oyo empire misruled. That's on record. Considering the distance between Oyo and Ilorin, why did Oyo empire take war there and eventually lose?

This current Alaafin, have you seen crown on him? There is no crown, the ancestral crown have been stolen during the war in Oyo in retaliation by the Fulanis. They looted reasonable ancestry things.

Till Today , which of the other 5 SW states did Oyo state have cordial relationship with?

Let me add in particular. I am only relating history, no enmity between the people of South West or the Yoruba's, but when it comes to history, we should be able to tell ourselves the blunt truth about the past in other to do better in future

Yes I agree people existed there before the refugees came because the dialect is quite removed from Oyo but the Egba in the main say they are from Oyo. The Owu there are from Owu and etc
They are still relating with their town and villages outside Abeokuta town . Infact, I can say almost every Abeokuta indigenes have villages. One way or the other.

But the relationship with Oyo people, No.

Ekiti people, their royal kings, if you talk anything about Olubadan or Alaafin, they always talk down on them. Misuse of power

Egba was a province of Oyo. It would be a mixture of Oyo and the aborigines of the land. Egba became independent around the same time Dahomey and Ilorin became independent. They then had to be protecting their territory by themselves which is mainly from Dahomey and probably Ibadan. They formed a well organized republic and later went into an alliance with Britain in 1893 for trade and cooperation. They had confrontations with Britain after which their friendship treaty was converted into a protection treaty in 1914 and they started paying tax to Britain
Like I said, those 5 kingdoms including the Egbas are warriors. The people they met there might have been minorities who fled early. When they see them coming, probably they thought they are about to be attacked hence hiding under the rock.

The town existed in small communities before the arrivals of those 5 kingdoms.

I actually like the relationship between all of them whether in culture, language, food, politics or whatever, you can't really separate egba and Owu or Gbagura

Egba was not a British protectorate until September 1914.

They were not among those fighting at Igbajo

https://guardian.ng/opinion/egba-as-nigerias-premier-nation/
You see Abeokuta in general, there are 5 kingdoms with 5 kings ruling over their territory.

Alake
Osile
Okeona
Gbagura
Olowu

They are warriors that settled in Abeokuta town as they fled because of war. No superiority amongst them.

They have their roots in some outskirts of Abeokuta, some parts of Old Oyo.

The people living in the town before the arrival of those 5 kingdoms , Abeokuta wasn't known or on record. The story before is not available per say. I haven't seen any

When those visitors came, they saw some people , when they asked them where were they, they said under the rock( Olumo rock, Abeokuta

Probably those 5 kingdoms came after the 1914, don't know much about that regarding date

Even with the proximity of Ogun and Oyo, they hardly shared same ideology regarding politics and religion because of those wars. The Oyo empire took advantage of so many small communities with unnecessary wars

PoliticsMods Should Start Banning Those Who Are Posting The Iran War On Politics Section by helinues(op): 6:34pm On Mar 02
Iran/USA/Israel war is a foreign news, why are some people have dedicated the politics section with foreign news

I actually don't get it, have all the problems in Nigeria solved hence we have run out of discussion?

The way some people carry this foreign matter for head as if they are directly affected/concerned

May be mods should start banning anyone who deliberately post Iran war to politics section.

That's against rule 1

All of them are hypocrites. Trump claiming to be Nigeria christian savior, in which verse of his own bible did he learn about killing people anyhow?

Who are his enemies, how many people have been killed? Are the family of the Iran leaders also part of the threats.

People are still clamouring for more states. I want our Ijesa state. It was an independent state for various spells of time before colonisation. People want the independence they had before colonisation and there is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong if a state of twenty million is existing side by side one with just 200k people. There is no way Nigeria would not have been divided into states because the owners of the lands want it like that.

Egba was the last to join Nigeria in 1914 but now they don't even have a state.
Your last paragraph, where did you get that from?
