This is beautiful
As Africans we need to cherish and promote our indigenous languages.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Al Haafidh ibn Rajab mentioned in the commentary of the Tabaqaat Al Hanaabila (1/196) in the biography of Al Qaadi Abi Bakr Muhammad Abdul Al Baaqi Al Bazzaz who died in the year 535 from the migration of the Messenger of ALLAH, peace and blessing be upon him.  Shaikh Saalih Abu Al Qaasim Al Khazaz Al Bagdadi said, ”I heard Al Qaadi Abi Bakr Muhammad Abdul Al Baaqi Al Bazzaz Al Ansaari say: I used to live in the vicinity of Mecca, may Allaah the Exalted protect it, so one day I was stricken with severe hunger and I did not find anything to fight against this hunger. So I found a bag made from silk, tied with a tassel that was also made from silk, so I grabbed it and took it to my house. When I unfasten it I found in it a necklace made from pearl such that I had not seen the like of it before. So when I exited my house I saw an old man that was seeking this bag. With him was a torn rag containing five hundred dinar and he was saying, ‘’this is for the one who returns to me the bag containing the pearls.” So I said, ‘’I am in need, I am hungry, so I will take this money and benefit from it and return to him the bag.’’  So I said to him, ‘’Come to me’’, so I took him and brought him to my home. So he gave me the description of the bag, and the description of the tassel, and the description of the pearls along with their number, and the description of the thread that fasten it. So I removed it from the bag and gave it to him, so he gave me the five hundred dinar, but I did not take it. Then I said to him, ‘’It is incumbent upon me to return this to you and I will not take any reward for it.” He said to me, ‘’you must take it’’, and he persisted in this, but I would not take it from him so he left me and went about his way.
As for me, I didn’t have anything so I left Mecca and began sailing in the sea. So the ship tore apart and everyone aboard it drowned and their wealth was destroyed. I was saved by holding onto a piece of the ship. So I remained for a time period in the sea not knowing where I was going. I then arrived at an island that was inhabited by people. I sat in some of the masjids and the people heard me reading, and there did not remain anyone on the island except that he came to me and said, ‘’Teach me the Qur’aan’’, so I acquired from the people a lot of wealth. Then I saw in the masjid some paper from a Mushaf, so I took it and began to read it. They said to me, ‘’Do you have good handwriting?’’, I said, ‘’yes.’’ So they said, ‘’Teach me handwriting.’’ So they came to me with their children from amongst the small kids and the young men and I used to teach them. I acquired from this also, a lot of wealth.
After this they said to me, ‘’We have a young orphan girl who has some things from the dunya, (worldly wealth) we would like for you to marry her.  I refused, but they said, ‘’It is a must!’’ And they made this incumbent upon me, so I agreed. After they married her to me, I turned my glance toward her and I found that exact same necklace hanging around her neck! At this time I did not busy myself with anything except staring at this necklace. So they said to me, ‘’Oh Sheik! You have broken this young orphan girl’s heart by looking at this necklace, and you have not even looked at her. So I relayed to them the story of the necklace. So they screamed and yelled out, ‘’There is no deity worthy of worship except Allaahu Akbar, until it reached everyone on the island. So I said, ‘’What is with you?’’ They said, ‘’The old man that took the necklace from you is the father of this young girl.’’ He used to say, ‘’I have not found in the dunya (world) a Muslim (what is meant here is a trustworthy, kind hearted, one who knows the rights of found property) except the one who returned to me this necklace.’’ And he used to make dua (supplication) saying, ‘’Oh ALLAH, join me and him together so that I may marry him to my daughter’’, and now it has happened. So I remained with her for a time period and I was provided with two sons by her. Then she passed away, so I inherited the necklace, me and my two sons. Then my two sons died, therefore the necklace became mine. So I sold the necklace for one hundred thousand dinar, and the money that you see me with now is what is left over from that money.

It seems you are not aware that ondo state is the fifth largest oil producing state and as the same time the state with the largest deposit of bitumen in Nigeria.

Ogun state is one of the state with large deposit of limestone in Nigeria as well as oil reserve which is still untapped.

Osun state has the largest gold desposit in Nigeria.

70% of the industries in Nigeria are found in lagos, ogun and oyo state.

South west is not a landlock zone like most zone in Nigeria therefore controlling the import and export trade of Nigeria due to the fact that most of the functioning seaport are in lagos.

Lagos state also has oil reserve which has not been fully utilised

South west generate the largest lGR in Nigeria

South west has all what it takes to be an independent nation

Wow, what a great achievement.
She is really a genius.

popez:
South Eastern Nigeria: Trade, oil and Gas

South South: Oil and gas

North Central/Middle belt: Solid minerals and agriculture

Core North: Solid minerals and agriculture

South West:

Yet the people who contribute absolutely nothing to the nation are everywhere issuing empty threats and making the most noise. Hmmm

This is gold in osun state, one of it kind in Nigeria, may God bless oduduwa land.

A United States-based Nigerian female professor, Omowunmi Sadik, invented microelectrode biosensors for the detection of drugs and explosives.

Sadik has also worked on the development of technologies for recycling metal ions from waste. This is for use in environmental and industrial applications.

She was born in Lagos, on June 19, 1964. Sadik is a chemist and inventor working at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, in the United States.

Sadik co-founded the non-profit Sustainable Nanotechnology Organization.

She received her bachelor’s degree in chemistry from the University of Lagos in 1985. She then went on to receive her master’s degree in chemistry in 1987.

The scholar attended Wollongong University in Australia. In 1994, she received her Ph.D in chemistry from Wollongong.

A postdoctoral fellowship from the National Research Council supported her as a researcher at the US Environmental Protection Agency from 1994 to 1996.

She has held many distinguished scholar and research positions around the world. And she is currently a visiting lecturer at the Naval Research Laboratories, Cornell University, and Harvard University.

Her invention
About her invention, Omowunmi Sadik studies surface chemistry. But she’s particular on the development of biosensors for use in environmental chemistry.

She has found that conducting polymers are especially promising for use in sensing applications and developed microelectrode biosensors sensitive to trace amounts of organic materials, technology which can be used for drug and bomb detection.

She is also studying detoxification mechanisms of wastes such as organochlorine compounds in the environment, to develop technologies for recycling metal ions from industrial and environmental waste.

Her invention has been widely applauded similar to the development of an insect control technology by another Nigerian don in Brazil.

The 59-year-old is credited with more than 135 peer-reviewed research papers and patent applications.

Among many awards for her works, she got the National Research Council (NRC) COBASE fellowship in 2000, the Chancellor’s Award for Research in Science and Medicine, in 2001, Chancellor’s Award for Premier Inventors, in 2002 both at the State University of New York System.

From 2003 to 2004, she had a Distinguished Radcliffe Fellowship from Harvard University, and an American Chemical Society Fellow in 2023.

Good

Why won't crime become a lucrative business when is that what an average Nigerian thinks is that before you can become sucessful in Nigeria you have to get your self involve in all forms of bribbery, theft, extortion e.t.c.
Even the country is not designed to favour the saints.

Their love for education

I can see that alot of people in this forum are criticising the oyo state government. But if this was done in yout state or region most of you criticising the oyo state government will still praised them all in the sake that it was done by your state government
What an hypocrisy.

I just don't understand why most of you are so bitter

The Yorubas are the most successful when it comes to academics in which everyone knows

Most yorubas cherish quality education and will not allow a child that is not even up to ten year to work while schooling.
I dont know how you want a child of five years old to concentrate on his or her studies when working.
Any child that should be allowed to school and work should be matured enough to balance academics and work without any effect. Eg is an undergraduate in the university that knows what he or she is doing.
