As long as a cow is present she will be milked

you mean you don’t have cow in your enclave ? You have no shame …Son of Shit-at-home that see food made in shit-spot as cow that produces milk and honey .

President Tinubu who is also the Chairman of ECOWAS must do everything in his capacity(Diplomacy or War) to make sure that West Africa grows .

That the Niger military cut ties with western supremacists is another argument entirely, Democracy must not be allowed to falter in Africa .

Metrofox:
Lol agreed,cavemen that don't shit and eat in the same spot

they only troop to the place where they shit and eat in the same spot in night buses to have a taste of how sweet it is but refused to go back to the gutter they came from after a bite .

Metrofox:
Dummy the whit guy wrote specifically about your cohorts in Lagos, go sensitize your people.

sorry ,the tourist considered your small village too insignificant to talk about . Stop living like cavemen .

Metrofox:
you never saw anyone taking a shit on the road, but i can bet that as we speak someone from ogbomosho is taking a big shit on a road in Lagos. A white guy wrote a long article about it some days ago. Stop embarrassing the black race.

don’t be ridiculous ,what a white guy wrote is the standard of living in alaigbo moreover he spoke about Nigeria entirely.

Guess shitting on the road is better than selling foodstuffs and foods in dumpsite in the land of anguish that everyday you jump on night bus just to have a taste of such lifestyle in Ikirun .

Metrofox:
lol when it comes to hygiene in Africa, we know the people who hold the dirty record man. You eat food prepared with brooms ..yuck

lol that’s why Onitsha is the dirtiest city in the world . There’s literally refuse dump at the main market . I had to hold my breath to pass through .

Metrofox:
Everyone in Nigeria knows that you can't talk get anything worthy to be called food outside the Eastern region of this country. We have a multitude of cuisines for any taste, not gbegiri engine oil/catarrh slime completely lacking in creativity

Dey play ,that’s why you eat abasha and white soup wey be like the whitish liquid from a sore .called pus .

Metrofox:
are you trying to compare yoruba food to igbo food? Joke of the century. Get off it... nobody eats your engine oil +catarrh slime

don’t get yourself excited with your n yam miri sliced raw cassava and white soup wey be like baby poop ,it was until I got to Asaba I was able to get real food .

Washing cloth and cooking

Good news

Starve Igbos of Ewedu and gbegiri

Prepared under a playful dirty ground where kids with runny nose are

Forget Amala Sky and other fancy Yoruba restaurants

Go to local yoruba restaurants and see if you can take a bite

I love eating local food from local restaurants when I’m chanced especially in Ibadan and some areas in Lagos ,I lodged in an Anambra hotel recently but the food taste bland ,I couldn’t eat it even though it’s very expensive . No joke .

Peter Obi attracts the best brains



Just look at the beautiful and handsome faces that will serve as the image of Nigeria 🇳🇬 and tell me which country won't respect Nigeria 🇳🇬 in the world. Because Nigeria is currently a joke...



The Tribunal should help this country to take back its image in the comity of nations.


God bless ObiDatti!

handsome face ,container market brain .

So we can agree that Oduduwa wasn't a Yoruba and the name Oduduwa wasn't his original name, a yoruba word or possibly a corrupted word.?

no ,don’t get me wrong !

One of the several proposed origin of Oduduwa is Ile -Ife . That he’s one of the descendants of the thirteen tribes that founded Ile Ife long ago .

Also ,Oduduwa in Yoruba meaning is “Odu to di Iwa” . Odu is Ifa corpus and Oranmiyan is “Oro(word) mi yan “

loschivatos:
@Bolded
So who begat Oduduwa?

there are many origins of Oduduwa and yes that includes Benin history version that he’s there lost/exiled prince but even going with that history Oranmiyan has Yoruba origin and started the Obaship in Benin kingdom .

The bible wasn't referring to the quran or other religious books.

What’s the meaning of “all scriptures” ?

You are being disingenuous, people that are intellectually greater Tham you couldn't but agree Jesus really existed, you speaking base on ignorance.
Tacitus was one of the greatest Roman historians and politician.

Publius Cornelius Tacitus,[note 1] known simply as Tacitus (/ˈtæsɪtəs/ TAS-it-əs,[2][3] Latin: [ˈtakɪtʊs]; c. AD 56 – c. 120), was a Roman historian and politician. Tacitus is widely regarded as one of the greatest Roman historians by modern scholars.[4][5]

Wikipeadia

It’s erroneous to claim “anyone” is more intellectually greater than someone else when you don’t know or have the full grasp of the output of the other person or because the first person existed before the person being compared him to neglecting the “latter day glory shall be greater than the former” quote .

That being said ,you quoted someone that was born circa AD 56 but Jesus was born and lived between circa AD 3 and AD 35 which means that the person you quoted did not have direct access to the events and there’s high tendency for infirmities

Steep:
Mohammad made a claim yet Noone but himself could testify that it was true.
Show me any Muslim that saw Mohammad splitting the moon?

No body claim to see oduduwa go to heaven, its all a tale.
Nobody can testify concerning Enoch and elijiah but Jesus has eye witnesses, People testify that Jesus rose not because they were told but because they saw him, not one person's but multitudes.

Going by your logic ,because no one can testify to Enoch and Elijah transcending to heaven then it’s fake ? If it’s fake does that means that part of Bible is fake ?

Also who told you that people didn’t witness other legends ? For instance ,the story of Oranmiyan,his people called him with war cry but it was a civil war ,after killing a lot of people his eyes got cleared ,he buried his sword and then disappeared…people were there to witness the events according to the story.

The same way Mohamed associates were present during his exploits,my point is that people have claim to perform miracles without being subjected to your religion and it doesn’t make them less or evil ,a biblical example is Simon that was performing miracles that Jesus disciples reported to him but he responded that “he that’s not against us ,he’s with us “

Steep:
I don't belive because it is a religious books, but that the four books of the Bible are real historical narratives, scholars has scrutinized the four books of the Bible to know if it was true history and it passed with flying colors.

The Mandela effect has already being debunked, the Bible is older than the council of nicea, many of you just parrot ignorance like zombie without verifying. Smh

Did you know that Muslims believe that the Quran was given to Mohammed when he was on a mountain by Angel Gabriel like the Ten Commandments given to Moses? The same way other religions claim that their book is special but to a person with common sense ,all these books were engineered by people like us and these books are outdated or do you still use books of 100 years in school without review? That aside ,how did scholars scrutinized the Bible and passed with flying colours .

Cos most of the characters in bible or events are parody of other historical figures if it’s not proven wrong in its entirety,for instance the story of Adam and Eve is biologically impossible because it will leads to genetic degeneration,older human fossils have been discovered and different species of humans also existed …Moses is compared to Sargon ,Esther husband to Xerxes 1 ,Noah flood to epic of Gilgamesh,Jesus to Horus and Alexander the Great and so many others .

If you understand what I meant by council of Nicaea,you won’t open your mouth spitting gibberish ,these scriptures were not written by this council,they simply collated it and edited it ,or you didn’t think why Moses wrote the book of genesis when he was not yet born ? That there’s a curse in revelation that no one should add or remove to the Bible ? Who put those there ? Was it John ? There are many scriptures that were not added to the Bible ,example is book of barnabas because he wrote there that Jesus neither die nor resurrected ,there are many other scriptures like book of Moses ,book of Mary Magdalene etc that were not added because of conflict of ideas,you need to really study the scope of the council to understand my point else you are a sweet sheep .

Stoplying:
How does this your comment negate what I said ?

Oranmiyan never existed, he is a fairytale figure like Odin and Zeus.

yes it does negate what you said cos myth is not written as historical facts,they are classified as myth only . if Oranmiyan never existed,then Eweka 1 never existed,then all the past Obas of Benin till now never existed but the genealogy of Bini Obas says otherwise,if you have any alternatives to the ancestry ,why don’t you bring it forward ?

The only thing you can say is that most of the exploits ascribed to these great men are mere legends .

Stoplying:
The first Oba of Benin kingdom wasn't captured by history because nobody around in that era knew how to write. Now you read or head of that fairytale of oronmiyan and oduduwa, dude it is only s fairytale made after colonisation, it has nothing to do with reality.

I have been to the national museum in Benin city and Oranmiyan was written there as the first Oba . Even the current Oba of Benin publicly said it but the only addendum to your history is that Oduduwa is your lost /exiled prince .

Stoplying:
How about you stop making claims about us for a change, how about you stop harassing us instead of complaining that we are not showing appreciation for your harassment! We are not Yoruba, our monarch is not Yoruba. Now leave us alone !

who is the first Oba of Benin Kingdom?

RonuRonu:
Ronu king
Ooni carry style dey fear Fulani people in Kwara state.
He used this title to appease them.
Ronu people and act of Cowardice

the coward people had a president for 8 years ,vp for 8 years and a presidency that’s ongoing while the brave people are locking themselves at home every Monday and going to court every other days. What a twist of fate 🤣

Stoplying:
The way you guys are obsessed with Benin is incredible, what in hell links Benin to this event, yet you had to mention the Oba of Benin whose title your monarchs keep using fraudulently as if they have forgotten their own titles. You clearly lack understanding of history and seem to believe the current political structure in the land mass of Nigeria has always been in place.
Let me open your eyes a little, here is a Precolonial map of Africa, locate Benin on it, and look for Ife on it. That will tell you the difference in importance between Benin empire and Ife village !
Do you know how insulting it is to say that the king of a large sovereign country got his crown from a village head called Oni of Ife ?

Most of you guys don't understand that Benin Kingdom/empire was a country ! Ab independent country until it lost a war to the UK! What exactly was Ife if not a village !

you failed to understand that Ife kingdom was a power block during the time of Oduduwa and Okanbi that gave birth to Oranmiyan that became the first Oba of Benin then passed it down to his son Eweka 1 .

These happened several years before British Invasion ,that Rome is a small country now does not mean it’s not one of the greatest empire ever witnessed in human history.


And the map you posted seems to be fake cos of the area kingdom of Benin covered even I couldn’t find Oyo empire that’s greater than Benin empire on the map not even the northern part of present day Nigeria.

maasoap:
You are a big mumu if you still haven't known that it will take miracle for a poor man or his son to have opportunity to contest for a political post in Nigeria again with the way everything has been monetized starting from the purchase of nomination forms.
Those who are ruling you today and those who will be ruling tomorrow don't have to pass through sufferings, they're already being groomed while some of them are already there.

you’re the poor fool that have no hope in your future .

Tell that to people like Goodluck Jonathan ,Ajimobi etc that all engaged in menial jobs in their little beginning days before they rose to the top .


So the children of the rich should not pursue their careers anymore because their parents are rich ?

We live in a democracy and capitalist system,if you can’t compete then you die out .

The labour party that came out as poor people party ,how much did they sell gubernatorial ticket in Imo ?

Steep:
Religious book, does not equate to false. The books of the gospel are historical narratives not simply religious books.
The quran is self contradicting because the it says that it confirms the injeel (the gospels).
How can it confirms the injeel and at the same time deny the injeel?

I guess you’ve also forgotten that the Bible says all scriptures are inspired by God ?

Steep:
Jesus case is different, said he would die and rise again as a proof of his teachings and he did so.
There were eye witnesses who saw christ after his death again there are external source that proved Jesus was really crucified. Such as tacitus and the Talmud.

If you don’t mind ,will you state the proofs of Tacitus and Talmud? Cos what I mean of external source is a source out of religious propaganda,for instance ,we read the true story of Roman Empire and there is no where it’s mentioned that one miraculous character existed circa 30 AD outside of Julius ceaser ,Augustus ceasers ,the philosophers etc but no Jesus mentioned .

Steep:
Moses parted the red sea however Moses never claim he is someone special, Enoch was tkaken without seeing death, however he never claimed to be someone special, Mohammed parted the moon but it just a claim because the moon is still there, and no body ever said he saw Mohammad splitting the moon or driving a mule to heaven as he claimed.

The Muslims believe that the craters on the moon is as a result of Muhammed splitting it and yes ,Muhammed claimed he is the last “prophet” sent by God .

Many charlatans have claimed many different things ,the world will always follow them but the knowledge of yesteryears is mostly outdated today .

Steep:
No one saw oduduwa transcend to heaven without dying

except that in the in the case of Jesus resurrection there were eye witnesses, who claimed the saw Jesus rose and were willing to die for it.
No human being would die for what he knows its a lie, those who testify that they saw Jesus lost everything and were willingly gave up their life just to testify about Jesus resurrection.

if no one saw Oduduwa transcends to heaven then how come people believe it ? So people can believe Enoch trancendence and Elijah’s own with chariot of fire as fabulous as they sound but can’t believe Oduduwa’s? Guess you think the latter is made up ? The Oranmiyan staff in ile ife is made up ?

So you said people witness Jesus own because it’s written in a religious book but you don’t believe Oduduwa own even though it’s written in religious book as well (Odu Ifa) or Mohammed’s that’s written in religious book (Quran) ?

Also you need to read on “Mandela effects “ and “Council of Nicaea” to buttress my point to see how some group of people collated the Bible and ascribed many things to Jesus .

Steep:
anybody can claim anything, but evidence is what matters. Hinduism, Buddhism, traditional religion, Islam, etc none has any evidence
Only Jesus christ has ever died and resurrected from the grave hence providing evidence that he indeed is true.

you’re funny ,the miracle is only recorded in a religious book without evidence it actually took place and even other sources like the Quran said he never died let alone rose up ,so why should the account of the Bible be right but the account of the Quran be wrong ?

Neglecting the fact that there’s no external evidence for such event ,that a person died and rose up does not make him supreme to other characters that did things himself did not do ,for instance ,Moses parted the Red Sea ,Enoch did not even taste death (which make him superior to death) ,Joshua held the sun for three good days,there’s story of how Noah saved the entire humanity and in other religions,Mohammed parted the moon when he rode horse through it ,Oduduwa transcended into the spirit world without dying,Buddha reached the state of Yoga etc .

My point is that different religions believe in different “legendary” about their respective pioneers.

Iamzik:
Bravo!!!

It's too painful for tax paying Nigerians to enjoy any benefit from government but government can afford billions to waste on bullet proof cars for government officials in the midst of all this.
Government officials are excluded and well insulated from the "pain" while collecting "hardship" allowance every month.

Oya na let’s continue....the reality on the streets will confront all of us sooner than later.

yes i agree with you that cost of governance needs to be cut as well . Thank you .

malvisguy212:
yes. there are many religion and most of them say Jesus is a Great teacher. Jesus increase the stake by saying He is the only way to heaven.

not many other of them say that he’s a great teacher except “Abrahamic” religions and that’s mostly Islam their tenets centers on another personality .

Other religions have their own concept of eternal life even before Jesus was born at all ,example are Hinduism and Buddhism and you can’t tell me they’re wrong because you believe in your own religion.

Mrbenny001:
Those spike in prices is super inflation...it's results of bad policy implementation... sometimes I pity those bus driver...if you can go close to any of them you will know their plights...

I’m not arguing that but my point is the hike in price due to over inflation should already equal to or more than their profit(worth) before the hike if it’s place on a ratio .

Iamzik:
I have a problem with this narrative of trying to justify subsidy removal.

You discovered that your children driver has been embezzling half of the money you give him monthly to fuel your car. What is the best course of action?

1. Buy the fuel yourself at the filling station?

2. Sack the driver or make him refund the stolen?money

3. Sell your your car and let your children start trekking to school.


The federal government choose option 3 and I'm shocked that most of you are clapping for them

Every country have one form of subsidy or the other including the US and UK that your politicians like to use as benchmark for fuel price.

Why not go after the subsidy scammers/thieves rather than making life difficult for the whole nation?

In the midst of all this senators and reps less than 500 people shared 75 billion while jokingly passing resolution to "let the poor breathe"

There is consequence to all these actions and I hope we all are mentally ready for it

you’re getting it wrong ,the subsidy wasn’t removed only because some people are embezzling the funds but also because the driver pay is too much and it’s better for one child to trek to school than for the home to declare bankruptcy.

The senators making a jest of the policy is a different scenario.

Mrbenny001:
It's not only Nigerians that complain of bad governance... infact Nigerians are very resilient and endurance...no country on earth will endure what we have endure for past 8-9 years...Asians and Arabs will have turn it upside down... what hustle do you want them to double in face of super and sudden hyperinflation... please explain how you expect common man on the street to hold government responsible for bad governance and bad policy implementation... maybe that should start from your side

people complain of f bad governance everywhere ,in USA ,UK ,China and so that is to tell you that human needs are insatiable .

When you complain of inflation ,tell me who’s inflating the price ,is it not the same Nigerians ? Imagine the POs that wants to charge 500 naira on 5000 naira withdrawal ,imagine a bus driver charging 1500 naira for hitherto 700 naira fair ,has he not made enough money to cushion the effect of inflation ? A person collecting 10k salary but he has increased to 20k or more ?

The fight should be for increase in workers welfares and government should enact more policies to make things simple but not stealing from fellow citizens.

maasoap:
They removed the only one thing remaining that benefit the masses. There is no justification for that at all. Do you know how much these people are allocating to themselves on yearly basis to cushion the effects of inflation and worsening economy, from the executive's to lawmakers to judges? It is like they are snuffing life out of the common man to make their own life more comfortable.

You even said "double their hustle", lol. What is Tinubu paying for? Shetima? Lawmakers? Govs? They get everything free but it is the masses that should work themselves to death. You are a big fuul

it takes a fool to talk the way you are because you’re f you know what these people you mentioned passed through to get to where they are you will know the reason why only one person is the president or f about 200 million people instead of everyone.

And yes ,the subsidy removal will help the government to stop borrowing money to augment salaries or other expenditure, the money allocated to themselves or corruption etc s another thing that entirely . Even a common security in Nigeria will demand for bribe before allowing you to see the receptionist.

malvisguy212:
Religion is ritual without righteousness. many religion practices are ritual , and when you perform a ritual, is an attempt to please God.

but Christianity is the other way round, is God himself reconcile himself with humanity, a father and son relationship. after all we are not the one that ate the forbidden fruit, so God himself had to create a way to reconcile us. this perfectly make sense .

an Omniscient God create a forbidden fruit in a garden where he put people that has freewill even though no matter their choice ,he’s omniscient and he knows the end from the beginning.

I believe the Bible says that “our righteousness is like a dirty torn cloth”?

Also ,as you claim righteousness in your religion so is the way other religions claim righteousness or holiness do you know that in Buddhism ,they can deny themselves earthly cravings like food ,sex etc just to be holy ? So is other religions even the traditional religions that are adherent to Orunmila .

Every other religions claim their religions is the way to connect with God !
