Actually, it's not the best advice. In the event of an outbreak, you should take precautions as if the members of your family are already infected.

Good! He had no business being in Awe in the first place.

However, the good sides to this needless drama are the search light and fame it has brought to Awe community and the unforgettable interface the locals had with Sanusi at the mosque. ENGRAVED.

God will disgrace all our past and present leaders that put us into this mess.

Dethrone Emir cos he criticize your Administration. That singular act shows that you are one of enemies of this country and God will place you to where you belong

Share your omo-onile experience. Omo-onile are the children of the original owner of lands, they always feel they're still connected with the lands and will want to extort money whenever any development is ongoing on the land.

My own experience.
I happen to be overseeing our house renovation ( renovation o ) being d first son of my late dad, the renovation requires removal of the roof, additional 2 coaches on the building and changing the roof structure from gambrel to hip, then painting.

On the first day, the carpenters removed the whole roof, we were lucky not to see any omo-onile cos it was a weekend......

Then the bricklayers arrived on the third day (monday), work commenced earnestly, then the omo-onile arrived.... I was at the plank market when the bricklayer called, saying omo-onile asked them to stop work and gbas gbos everywhere. I dashed out of the plank market like a squirrel whose tail is on fire, I thought I would know one or two of the omo-onile cos I was raised in that area and know a lot of them. Unfortunately, I don't know any of them.

They greeted me first, omo boy, bawo ni? Iwo ni olorun jogun ile yi fun? Emi e a lo.. blah blah blah. ( boy, how are you? U're the one that inherited this house? May it be beneficial to u... blah blah blah). "Oya where our money" was the next sentence that came of their mouth. I asked them "owo kini?" ( which money? ) they said, i unroofed the building without giving them their money and I'm working on the building itself, so i must give them owo-ile. I just kuku ask them how much their money is and they said #200,000 I laughed and jokingly asked them to be serious, they said "se o ro pe ere la wa se n bi ni?" ( do u think we came here to play? ) i was unfazed since i know they can't beat me. After so many arguments, noise and intervention of elders, I gave them #25,000 and also agreed to give them #80,000 when we start roofing, their leader gave me his number and asked me to call him if any omo-onile come to disturb me.

On the day of roofing.....
The leader called me around 7am in the morning, I wondered how he knew it was d day we wanted to roof the house. I had planned not to give them the #80,000 but #40,000 instead, they've also planned not to collect the #80,000 but #150,000... and another round of noise, argument, intervention of elders with a bit of gbas gbos everywhere... I was unfazed as usual.

Las las sha, we agreed to a truce and I gave them #60,000.

What I learnt.
1. Most of them are children of first settlers in the area and their family own and sold a lot of land in their time.

2. The have informants everywhere, these informants roam around searching for any new development in the area.

3. They don't have proper job, extortion is their full-time job.

4. U can't avoid them. even if u call police, police will tell u to settle them, and if u call soldier, once the job is done and soldier leave, they'll disturb the house.

5. U can actually shout them down, dont be timid when u see them, if they sense fear in u, they'll manipulate d situation.

6. U cant do without giving them "something", making the "something" the least u can afford should be your priority.

7. If u dont want their wahala, go to the king and explain what u want to do to him, he'll collect a lil sum of money from u to settle them and ask them never to disturb u.

RisenPhoenix:
So why are the men fighting? What are they fighting over? To be honest, if it is me I will walk out and let them finish. I'll even say 'sorry' to them for accidentally disturbing them. When they have finished, I will conduct mini marriage ceremony for them, collect dowry from him and give them my blessing. I will even help his new wife pack her things inside his car and if his car doesn't start, I will help him push it.

Offpoint:
I remember that year I went to a Program and the invited guest speaker after preaching gave prayer points titled "Operation you must speak in tongues"

Those who can speak were asked to step backwards and those who can't forward.
That's when the whole church started prayers that lasted almost 3 hours, preacher said everyone must speaks in tongue.

After 2hrs everyone has spoken in tongues, whom I knew some fake it o...
I was the only one left o, that was how the entired church gathered around and starts bombarding me with prayers o.

30 minutes, no signs... preacher touch me, anoint me, push me, blow me breeze... no signs.
For my mind: God which can wahala be this? pity me now, even na just 5 seconds make I speak am... abi na so demons plenty for my body reach wey entire church gather for my head for over an hour and nothing show?
God abeg pity My life.

After over an hour the preacher man was like: The devil is liar, he must release you, I can see the spirit of tongues in you.
Me in my mind "You're right sir, I speak 7 languages"

After another 20 Minutes, preacher was like: See me after service.

Another questioning and prayers sessions after service o.


Tongues are mostly what Nigerians use to cover up when they ran out prayer points.

I've always question the logic of speaking a language nobody understands in church, a language not even you the speaker understands.... then what are you telling God when even you yourself don't understand?

I think the tongue of the Pentecostal Day was the only thing I found reasonable, what Nigerians are speaking is not tongues

I stopped taking them serious when I realized those who speaks in tongues, all of them individually all have one pattern they speak... you can't be telling God sake things since time immemorial.

Prayer for healing: oshe prapra robototo Mali kakobuyaya Toire

Prayer for protection: oshe prapra robototo Mali lukakukakabuyaya Toire

Prayer for Devine blessings: oshe prapra robototo Mali lukakukakabuyaya Toire

All prayer points:
oshe prapra robototo Mali lukakukakabuyaya Toire

seriously?

Funny part some said they speak in tongues to confuse the devil
Devil who was once an heavenly citizen told them he doesn't understand heaven ly tongues

Mrpsly247:
The way pple mention skills as if they are some concrete physical products . Believe me or not most graduates have most skill required to do most jobs successfully, what is lacking now is mostly the right attitudes. The ability to bullshit the whole system and the corky confidence to superimpose yourself in a novel environment.. The Socratic wisdom of knowing that you don't know nothing does not fly in the face of today's extroverted environment that eschews "survival of the fittest". As to why sum1 who went to a uni would graduate a 3rd class.. I think there's a fundamental IQ problem, or a general mental problem. As having a good reading plan of just 45 mins a day can guarantee u at least an upper limit 2:2

They end up becoming business leaders and CEO's. There is a reason they end up bagging third class. It's not something I have the time to explain.
