Not all rivers are hospitable, some are inhabited by marine spirits and claim strangers live even if they are within its perimeter. One needs to be careful whenever he/she is a stranger in a place.
Agriculture / Re: I Have 1million And I Want To Invest In Agricultural Farm Within Ondo State by honifome(m): 8:31pm On Jul 05, 2018
Start beekeeping business, it is a lucrative one. With just 25000 naira, you can purchase a beehive that can last over 10 years and 50000 naira to acquire beeking materials. Your return on investment depends on the number of hives installed and with 1million, you should be aware of huge number of hives you can acquire. With good management, you can harvest around 12 liters of honey from a 10 frame beehive and a litre cost about 2000 naira. Multiplying this by 12 gives 24000 naira. Your profit will be accrued in the next harvest which is around 6 months. Flora rich, not flooded and quiet area is recommended for the location of the apiary.

Politics / Fashola To Goje: You’re Unparliamentary by honifome(m): 8:46am On Jul 07, 2017
Minister of Power, Works and Housing Babatunde Fashola yesterday chided Chairman of Senate Committee on Appropriation Senator Danjuma Goje for asking hism to resign if he’s unable to handle his workload.Goje spoke on the floor of the senate on Wednesday during a debate on Fashola’s complaint about the cutting of his ministry’s capital budget vote on key projects.Goje also said the minister, who was Lagos State governor should not see the national Aseembly as the Lagos State House of Aseembly.But Fashola, in a statement he sent from Zimbabwe, where he is attending the 35thAnnual General Meeting of the Shelter Afrique and made available by his media advier hakeem Bello, advised Goje not to “seek to trivialize the issues” he raised about the unilateral slashing of the budgetary allocation to key national infrastructure by the National Assembly.Fashola said he was responding only for the purpose of refocusing attention to the issues at stake, adding that it was wrong for Goje to say he should learn how to “behave”like a “Minister” and the reference to the Senate awaiting how he would be “handled” by the House of Representatives. “I think first that the language is unparliamentary andtherefore not deserving of a reply”.According to the Minister, the Senator’s reference to the patriotism of legislators should not be spoken but demonstrated as regards his calls for a more developmental budgeting approach.Explaining this further, the Minister declared: “In this context, it is left for Nigerians to then decide whether budgeting for constituency roads is more patriotic than budgeting to complete the Kano-Maiduguri Road that connects 5 states, the Lagos-Ibadan road that connects 3 states and helps to move food, imported goods and fuel across the country; or the 2nd Niger Bridge that connects the East and West geopolitical zones of at least 11 states together.“I will also leave Nigerians to judge whether it is more patriotic to budget for the Mambilla Power Project that will contribute to more power across Nigeria or reduce the budget to build street lights in legislative constituencies.”The Minister noted that the response to the issues he raised certainly should not have been accusations of his blackmailing the Legislature or referring to those whoshared his views as his “surrogates”.Fashola advised Senator Goje to acquire the temperament for such debate and disagreement and said: “Let me reiterate that I see Parliament as a house where very vigorous debates about development should take place and it is important for Goje to acquire thetemperament of debate and disagreement”.

Culture / The Story Of Alaafin Ajagbo by honifome(m): 10:18pm On Feb 26, 2017
Alaafin Ajagbo who succeeded Obalokun was remarkable for a long reign. He was said to have reigned 140 years and is an exception to the recent rule.He was born a twin and so striking was the resemblance between himself and his brother Ajampati that the one was often mistaken for the other, and very often royal honours were paid to the latter as to his brother.Ajagbo was also a warlike prince: several expeditions were sent out by him. Alaafin Ajagbo had the foresight to organize and build the system of military which gave great contributions to the civilization of the world.Alaafin Ajagbo instituted the military title of Generalissimo of the Yoruba Army, -the Aare Ona Kakanfo. Alaafin Ajagbo developed a system of government which was quoted as having contributed to human civilization and this gave Yoruba's a pride of place in the comity of Nations. He was the first to introduce a military formation that saw the emergence of the Generalissimo of the Yoruba forces. When he appointed his friend Kokorogangan of Iwoye who was a military strategist as the first Aare Ona Kakanfo, that is the Generalissimo of Yoruba Army.He created seventy ranks in the Yoruba military formation; Sixteen in the Upper division and Fifty-four in the Lower Cadre.Alaafin Ajagbo also introduced the Cabinet system in about 1640 into the constitution of the Yoruba. The watershed of this ingenious constitutional device was the introduction of the famous checks and balances that clearly delimited the functional interrelationships between the various agencies of the government.This was one century (100 years) ahead of the British before Robert Walpole started the cabinet system in Britain in 1740 during the Hanoverian dynasty.In external relations, the Alaafin extended the Yoruba territorial frontier outside the border of the present boundary of Nigeria. The influence of Oyo's language and culture extended into the Togo land and far beyond into Dahomey 1698, Oyo controlled coastal trades using the King of Allada to handle European shippers. When Dahomey ravaged Weme, a small state in the North-East of Allada, the kung andhis sons fled to Oyo for refuge.Consequently, Oyo invaded Dahomey in 1730 and subdued Dahomey. There were two other Oyo invasions and bombardments of Dahomey between 1738 and 1747 following which Dahomey capitulated and accepted the suzerainty of Oyo and paid annual tributes of 40 oxen and considerable merchandise to the Alaafin.In diplomacy, art of government and royal court etiquettes, the palace of Oyo became the State House of the Yoruba Nation; the citadel of authentic African culture, where Yoruba Princes and Princesses and Heir apparent from other YorubaStates were groomed and nurtured in the intrinsic values of Yoruba customary usage. Hence, the verified truism in the Yoruba saying that "Ajise bii Oyo laari, Oyo kii se bii eni kokan" - that is Oyo is the pace setter.Indeed, in the middle of the nineteenth century, an American observer, Reverend T. J. Bowen, remarked about the methodof preventing absolutism as devised by the Yoruba, particularly in Oyo area. According to him, "The highest excellence of the best government among white consists in constitutional checks or limits to prevent abuses of power. Strange as it may seem, the Central Africans ( I.e Yoruba people) had studied out this balance of power and reduced it to practice, long before our fathers settled in America-before the Barons of England had exhorted the greater charter from King John."Commenting on the same issue, Professor Saburi Biobaku said: "Oyo, the greatest of the Yoruba States, exercised imperial suzerainty over some neighbouring states and at its apogee in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, maintained a pax in the area which enabled trade to flourish and certain measure of civilization to develop. The Yoruba States craft was best displayed at Oyo.These are remarkable feats performed by the Oyo's as their contributions to world civilization which have remained unsurpassed till today. This is a well documented fact of history dating back to almost four centuries (400 years ) ago. Extract from https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C6514965894

IKU BABA YEYE(one who orders death sentence)
ALASE EKEJI ORISA(second in command to
gods)
OBA TI N FOBA JE(the king that crown kings)
OBA TI N GBA IDOBALE OBA(the king that
accepts kings salute).....this is just an extract
from alaafin of oyo eulogies.
At the peak of oyo empire,yoruba glory was at its
acme,oyo dominates political leadership of the
entire yoruba kingdoms,our unity was like
collection of brooms tied together to do the
sweeping,the empire created strong defence
tactics against the neigbouring enemies and
were forced to pay tributes at oyos will in those
days.Alaafin of oyo confirmed the appointments
of prominent obas such as alake of
egbaland,osile oke ona,olowu of owu,onisabe of
sabe,alaketu of ketu,owa obokun of ijesha land
etc before their independence conquests.Alaafin
approved the establishment of other thrones such
as awujale of ijebuland,soun of
ogbomoso,olubadan of ibadan,timi of ede etc.
Oyo dynasty designed prominent military rulers
for yoruba such as bashorun and aare ona
kakanfo.Alaafin has the final say on disputes
between obas and other other yoruba
kingdoms.oyo conquest expanded yoruba land
greatly at the peak of the empire.ile ife was
recognise as cradle and sacred place for
yoruba.Hence it's duty of oyo to protect ife from
attack and no oba was recognized by alaafin but
the chief priest called ooni.
Ooni is a title derived from oonirisa which means the priest. Oduduwa being the first Ooni had seven sons of which oranyan (oyo empire builder) was the lastborn.At old age, it was his servant Obalufon that took care of him and worked on his behalf because his son had left ife to establish their kingdoms. When the progenitor died, Obalufon took over and his duties was simply spiritual in a sacred place -ile ife- of which oduduwa sons allowed him to continue since it was impossible for them to leave their domains and rule in ife. They labelled him arole oduduwa meaning oduduwa house anchor but his hierachy cannot superseed the seven sons and that is one of the reasons owa obokun of ijesha ( one of oduduwa sons) will not relinquish power to the new ooni in osun state traditional rulers council.
I support his unity moves but if he knows his limit among yoruba obas, he will succeed.

Politics / Re: Nnamdi Kanu To Remain In ThePrison As FG Seeks To Transfer Case To Another Court by honifome(m): 5:03pm On Nov 23, 2015
Before Ojukwu died, he said that biafra can be achieved in the mind not physically meaning he bowed to sovereignity of our dear nation. your protests would have been justified had you change the theme to challenges facing the south east. Let me ask these questions. What is your master plan for the proposed country?what do you have to say about niger delta ethnic nationalities who recently denounce biafra?does secession means a path to true governance taking south sudan from sudan and pakistan from india as a case study?will Nnamdi Kanu and other biafra leaders fight and commit suicide after being defeated unlike Ojukwu who couldn't act in Hitler way after the defeat by the allies in world war 2? why the tribal bashings because of your ambition despite the fact that no ethnic groups or civil societies outside your proposed domian has come out openly to condemn your ambition? Biafra is by selfish people, to the selfish people and for the selfish people .Though our 1914 amalgamation is unholy but whoever wants to divorce has the spirit of hatred and self centeredness because a couple that forcefully marry for over hundred years ought to have binded love like a glue in the stamp.In my candid opinion, your agitation is caused by perceived marginalisation in appointments. Yoruba outsmarted you in the last election because the southwest was marginalised throughout Jonathans administration even though they voted for him and supported him during yaradua saga and we never call for secession but complained of marginalisation which fell on deaf ears. So we went to polls and voted him out in collaboration with the north against your wish. You should have complained of your percieved marginalisation which is not worst compared to goodluck administration against yoruba and vote buhari out if your complaints fell on deaf ears rather you resorted to wake up dead biafra which seems like you are building castle in the air.

Ekiti people are being enticed,instead of them to demand fishing gears and nets from fayose, they have resorted to open their watery mouth for stone fish from their gov.Due to their laziness,the state has become the least developed in southwest.
