$TIO now claims its payment group has a point of sale (PoS) system and other merchant products.

We found that pictures of Tingo’s claimed PoS system were taken from different PoS operator’s website, with a Tingo logo photoshopped over them.

$TIO claims its “seed to sale” online marketplace called NWASSA generated $125.3 million in revenue last quarter or ~15% of its total revenue, yet the website has been “under maintenance” and inoperable for months

$TIO claims it has launched its NWASSA platform in Ghana.
The Ghana website also doesn’t work and just says “Updating…” without ever going anywhere

In a May 2023 press release, Tingo claimed its brand-new agricultural export business, Tingo DMCC, was on track to deliver over U.S. $1.34 billion in exports by Q3.

$TIO's sales projections for that business are higher than the entire nation of Nigeria’s annual 2022 agricultural exports, which totaled about U.S. $1.15 billion, per government data.
Tingo DMCC’s website has numerous non-functioning links and includes a fake testimonial that appears leftover from the website template.

$TIO's financial statements are riddled with errors and typos, including a note to itself that it apparently forgot to delete, saying “please update for the tingle (sic) transaction including the tingle (sic) foods transaction”.

Its financials include other basic errors like incorrect math and leaving zeroes off key metrics.

More troublingly, Tingo’s cash flow and balance sheet statements do not reconcile and show major errors indicating a complete lack of financial controls.
Its cash flow statements regularly subtract items from cash that should be added and vice versa.

The apparent errors seem to also apply to Tingo’s audited annual financial statements, which were recently given an unqualified audit opinion by Deloitte Israel (a strange choice given the company lacks substantive operations in Israel).

We strongly suspect Tingo’s cash balance, which it conveniently claims is held in Nigeria, is fake.
The company collected only ~12% of the interest income one would expect from its claimed cash balances

Tingo is a word in the Pascuense language of Easter Island meaning, “to borrow objects from a friend's house, one by one, until there's nothing left.”
For a company that did an otherwise terrible job pretending to be a real business, it landed on an absolutely perfect name.

Overall, we think Tingo is a worthless and brazen fraud that should serve as a humiliating embarrassment for all involved.

We do not expect the company will be long for this world. $TIO

We were able to make contact with one of the cooperatives.

Its owner, Mr. Ogedengbe, a Yoruba man reiterated having no relationship with Tingo and flat out told us “they are scammers”.

Our checks with the Nigerian Communications Commission showed it has no record of Tingo being a mobile licensee at all, despite licensing requirements and the company's claim to have 12+ million mobile customers

Despite claiming to have millions of farmers using its phones, Tingo Mobile’s corporate presentation and webpage use stock photos of farmers using phones.

We visited Tingo Mobile’s office in Nigeria and found only a handful of employees and a sign posted on its door by federal tax authorities stating that the company is delinquent on its tax obligations.

Tingo Mobile claimed its Ghana expansion efforts would enroll 2-4M members by February 2023. This would represent ~9%-18% market share in the country within months.
We found zero records pertaining to Tingo Mobile through Ghana’s communication regulator.

We tried to contact Tingo’s Ghana support in late May to buy a phone.

The email bounced back and no one picked up the phone despite numerous attempts.

We visited Tingo’s Ghana office location in late May 2023. We saw 2 cars in the parking lot and no customers.
When we tried to enroll in a plan and buy a phone we were told the location wasn’t operational yet.

TingoPay (part of Tingo Mobile) claimed in 2021 to have launched a partnership with a major local bank.

Two days after Tingo’s blockbuster announcement, the bank put out a statement calling Tingo’s claim false and that it had “NOT concluded any agreement with Tingo International in respect of any payment system whatsoever

In February 2023, the company held a groundbreaking ceremony for a planned $1.6 billion Nigerian food processing facility in Delta State, attended by the then agriculture minister, Igbo monarchs and other political luminaries.

We found that the rendering of the planned facility, featured in Tingo’s investor materials and on a billboard at the ceremony, is actually a rendering of an oil refinery from a stock photo website.

Following its groundbreaking, Tingo reported in a May 2023 SEC filing that it made “significant progress” on the facility, including laying “the foundations of its numerous buildings”.

We visited the site a week later and found zero signs of progress; it was empty except for the plaque and billboard commemorating the groundbreaking ceremony, surrounded by weeds.

Subsequent to the “groundbreaking”, $TIO announced a $150M agreement with a UK entity called Evtec Energy to build solar panels for its non-existent facility.
Funding is slated to be provided through Evtec, but UK filings show Evtec was “Dormant” and held zero cash

Tingo Group bought Tingo Foods from Dozy in February 2023 for $204 million, a price “approximately equal to the cost value of the inventory held by Tingo Foods”.
The inventory, which was reported in year-end financials, completely vanished from Tingo’s Q1 2023 accounts without explanation.
In our experience, $204 million in inventory doesn’t just disappear at companies with internal controls and genuine financial reporting

Tingo claimed its mobile handset leasing, call and data segments generated $128 million in revenue last quarter (~15% of total).

$TIO claims members of 2 unnamed farming co-ops supply the majority of its then ~9M userbase, consisting of local Nigerian farmers.
These farmers supposedly form the core of company’s phone customers & provide ag products used in TIO's food & trading businesses.

Allegations Against Dozy Mmobuosi, The Igbo Billionaire Who Nearly Bought Sheffield United

Tingo Group: Fake Farmers, Phones, and Financials—The Nigerian Empire That Isn’t

BY: hindenburgresearch.com/tingo

We are short Tingo Group $TIO because we believe the company is an exceptionally obvious scam with completely fabricated financials.

$TIO headquartered in New Jersey, claims to have several business segments focused on providing mobile phones, food processing and an online food marketplace for farmers primarily located in Nigeria.

$TIO was founded and is spearheaded by “Dozy” Mmobuosi, CEO of the key holding company entity.

Dozy is regularly described by the media as a billionaire and made waves earlier this year when he attempted to acquire now-Premier League soccer team Sheffield United.

We’ve identified major red flags with Dozy’s background.
He appears to have fabricated his biographical claim to have developed the first mobile payment app in Nigeria.
We contacted the app’s actual creator, a Yoruba man who called Dozy’s claims “totally false” & a “pure lie”.

Dozy claimed in his biography to have received a PhD in rural advancement from Malaysian university UPM in 2007.
We contacted UPM to verify the degree. They wrote back saying no one by his name was found in their verification system.

In 2017, Dozy was arrested and faced an 8-count indictment over issuance of bad checks, according to the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
He later settled the case in arbitration.

In 2019, the Igbo billionaire Dozy claimed to have launched “Tingo Airlines” & posted social media messages encouraging customers to “fly with Tingo Airlines today”.
Media later uncovered Tingo photoshopped its logo onto pictures of airplanes. Dozy later admitted to never owning any aircraft.

In April 2023, Tingo’s Co-Chair, a Frenchman wrote a public letter to Dozy, filed with the SEC, saying he could not approve the company’s annual report & felt it “necessary" to "resign" due to “many critical questions, comments and recommendations” that went “unanswered and unheeded”.

$TIO's food division is 7 months old, yet claimed to generate $577.2 million in revenue last quarter alone, representing 68% of total reported revenue.
If accurate, its claimed 24.8% operating margins would exceed those of every major comparable food company.

Yet, Tingo has no food processing facility of its own.
Rather, it claims its explosive revenue and profitability is derived from acting as a middleman between Nigerian farmers and an unnamed third-party food processor.

UFE LANDS: IS THIS ILE IFE THE ROOT OF HUMANITY?

RESPONSE TO THE VOICE OF OMO'OBA ONIJEBU ON "ILE-IFE OR UGBOMOKUN: THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE FANTASY OF EUROPEAN COLONIAL ROGUES!
By Akoda Awo

"I will respond to the questions on the above topic. The response stems from the fact that our history is being mangled out of shape just because we have allowed foreigners (and local stooges) to define who we are and where we come from.

The information on Wikipedia regarding the Ooni dynasty and Oduduwa is nothing but a fallacy. It stated that the Ooni dynasty existed before the reign of Oduduwa, which historians have argued to have been between the 7th to 9th centuries A.D.

We need to be careful with what we put on social media; information is a powerful tool that can shape people's lives for better or worse. As an Ifa practitioner, I will respond to the following questions asked.
+ Was this Ile-Ife not Ugbomokun before now?
+ Did Obatala and Oduduwa ruled over Ugbomokun?
+ Are Obatala, Ogun, Oduduwa, etc. 800 to 1100AD (1,600 years old) existence in this world?
+ Was Oduduwa from Mecca or from Israel and amongst the children of Abraham?
+ How many Ufe Lands existed or were mentioned inside IFA CORPUS?
+ How many years old can we say IFA CORPUS has been existing?
+ What's the definition of IGBA IWASE, or is IGBA IWASE different from Before Common Era (BCE)?
+ Was IFA CORPUS, Before Common Era (BCE) or After Death Of Jesus Christ (A.D.)?

It is unfortunate that most Yoruba indigenes, including traditional Obas, supposedly the custodians of tradition and history, cannot even give a true account of their own historical origin without recourse to written accounts and standards set by foreigners and or conquerors in today's global and religious affairs.

Apparently, their ignorance and mental slavery had jaundiced their reasoning, and they could not differentiate between Western education and civilization.

My question is, why is it so difficult to set our own "tradometrics" to measure our standards and develop our chronological dating based on socio-cultural and anthropological landmarks in our own God-given body of knowledge (Ifa)? We need to know at what point in history did the Irunmole (such as Oduduwa, Orunmila, Ogun, Esu, Obatala, Sango, Osun, etc.) inhabit the earth? Which event preceded which?

These and many more questions are begging for answers. We need to get our history straight and remove all fallacies created and forced on us by historians whose biased accounts were mere assertions by assumptions without adequate empirical evidence to support their claims.

Let me begin with "Igba Iwase," which simply means the primeval time at the beginning of creations. Igba iwase is beyond the confines of this planet earth as it dates back to the beginning of time when the universe was created. This is explained briefly in the verse of Osa Ogunda, which reads in part thus:

Iri tu wili tu wili
Iri tu wili tu wili
Iri tu wili-wili
Koo tu reke-reke
Difa fun Origun ti nloo seda ibu orun ati aye nigba ijinji
Nigba iwase

Translation:
May the dew burst gently
May the dew burst rapidly
May the dew burst continuously
And be so vast throughout the expanse
These were the declarations of Ifá for Origun
When going to create the vast expanse of the universe

At the beginning of time and creations (animate and inanimate) From the above stanza, the creation of the universe, in the beginning, was done in stages by different universal and supernatural beings who were being controlled by an unfathomable universal spirit of the universe (some call it Akamara; others call it Olodumare).

According to Ifa, Origun breathed into a speck of sand with a divine command of Akamara, and suddenly the speck busted with a profuse emission of dew continuously with so much fog scattered all over the entire space. This action continued for so long a time throughout the vast expanse of the universe.

The whole story of this primeval dew and creation is beyond the scope of this discourse. Igba Iwase can also be used to denote the beginning of human existence on earth. Whichever way it is, Igba Iwase can imply Before Common Era (BCE).

Understanding all about Ife civilizations and Igba Iwase cannot be possible if we base our account on the history taught in schools because history itself is based on speculations, assumptions, and assertions.

For me to delve into the discussion on the primordial Ife, there is a need to understand it through the lens of scientific comprehension (archeological, social anthropological landmarks, and ethnographical features), historic angle (events, date and time of the event, location of the event), and of course Ifa perspective.

SCIENTIFIC:
According to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural history, humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent.
The fossils of early humans who lived between 6 and 2 million years ago come entirely from Africa. Humans are primates. Physical and genetic similarities show that the modern human species, Homo sapiens, has a very close relationship to another group of primate species, the apes. Humans and the great apes (large apes) of Africa -- chimpanzees (including bonobos, or so-called "pygmy chimpanzees" and gorillas -- share a common ancestor that lived between 8 and 6 million years ago.

In a New York Herald Tribune published in 1995, at least two recent findings suggest that the large-brained species known as Homo Erectus migrated out of Africa just under 2 million years ago. The Homo Erectus were known to immediately precede today's humans Homo Sapiens on the evolutionary tree.

Archeological evidence has dated the earliest human skeleton found in Yoruba land (Iho Eleru near Akure) to be between the 8th and 10th millennium B.C.

Judging from the ethnographic features such as oriki (lineage praise names) and some sources that suggest that this archeological site (Iho Eleru, some spell it Iwo Eleru) belongs to parts of the present Ondo and Ekiti States. This site was believed to be originally called Ife Akelubebe or Ife Atelubebe, which was dated historically between 20,000 and 10,000 years B.C.

Regarding the scientific evidence through archeological excavations of artifacts in various sites/compounds in Ile Ife, Ile Ife was believed to have been first occupied at least as early as the 1st millennium C.E. It was most populous and important to the Ife culture during the 14th and 15th centuries C.E, and it is considered the traditional birthplace of the Yoruba civilization, of the latter part of the African Iron Age.

The excavation sites included Wumonije Osangangan Obamakin grove on the Modakeke side of Ile Ife, Lafogido, Odo Ogbe, Obalara, Iwunrin, Orun-Oba-Ado (a place believed to be the final burial place for the past Benin rulers).

For example, Ifè terracotta – 1000 and 1400 AD, Ìfẹ́ bronze head - 14th - 15th-century C.E. History Yoruba historians such Olumide Lucas, Samuel Johnson, Saburi Biobaku, Prof. Aderibigbe, Bolaji Idowu, etc., all have different accounts regarding the origin of the Yorubas.

While some proposed the Yoruba Egyptian origin, some proposed the Palestine/Mesopotamia origin, and others proposed the Arabian Mecca origin. Even though some accounts agree at some points, especially with regard to the ancient Ife origin, there has not been a consensus regarding where the people of Ife originated from.

What was evident was that the ancient Egyptians and the Yorubas have similarities in terms of anthropological and ethnographical features. These features include language, religious beliefs, religious ideas and practices, and traditional customs concerning names of persons, places, objects, etc.

One important commonality I found among these (above) historians is that they all practiced foreign religions and leaned towards their religious affiliations in rendering their accounts.

Almost all were Christians except Saburi Biobaku, who was a Muslim. When Biobaku gave an account of the Arabian Mecca origin, Samuel Johnson argued against it and pitched his tent with Olumide Lucas, a fellow Christian, about the Egyptian origin but added that the Yorubas hailing from upper Egypt, were either Coptic Christians or at any rate they had some knowledge of Christianity. What a contradiction!

If the origin of the Yorubas could be traced to ancient Egypt, which predated Christianity according to their accounts, where then or how did the Yorubas become Coptic Christians? If Samuel Johnson were to be alive today, he would have been in the best position to answer this question.

The Oduduwa being referred to by historians was more of a collective personality and era of a particular race rather than a single personality.

OKANBI AND ORANMIYAN: THE FANTASY OF EUROPEAN COLONIAL ROGUES TO DESTROYED OUR HERITAGE!

(The following are based upon the Oriki [the praise singing for record purpose] of these kingdoms, and Ifa Corpus [the divination system and UNDILUTED historical records of Yoruba people). Also note that Oriki can sometimes be tampered with, such as that of Ijebu, so we will focus much more on Ifa which can not be distorted for political reasons.

We are told Oduduwa was our Ancestor, which reigned in Ile-Ife between 900AD to 1200AD and begat OKANBI (Only Son) that gave birth to 7 Children as below...

Orangun of Ila (Osun-Kwara States)
Onipopo of Popo (Benin Republic & Togo)
Alaketu of ketu (Benin Republic)
Onisabe of Sabe (Benin Republic)
Olowu of Owu
Owa Obokun Adimula (Osun State)
Oranmiyan (That Oranmiyan birthed Aláàfin of Oyo and Oba Ado Bini)

Again, another list have below names interchanging with the above names.....

Alara of Ara (Ekiti State)
Ajero of Ijero (Ekiti State)

Prince ObaLoye Òtùkò Adimula Contemptuously noted that Oduduwa was never the only Ancestor for Karo o jire/ Omoluabi Race. Oduduwa was just one of our divinity progenitors that includes Obatala, Sango Ayilegbe-Orun, Ogun, Esu, Osun, Oya, Orunmila etc according to verses inside IFA CORPUS.

It is an established fact inside Ifa Corpus that both Oduduwa, Obatala, Sango Ayilegbe-Orun, Ogun, Esu, Osun, Oya, Orunmila etc are our Ancestral Contemporaries. Only that Oduduwa was uniquely blessed as the Supreme Leader of other Ancestors by the Creator- Olodumare.

Another unhealthy revelations was that Oduduwa reigned around 900AD to 1100AD at Ile-Ife. It must be noted that IFA CORPUS that established our heritage generational existence made us understand that our Race must have been in existence for more than 100,000years and not as being canvased within 2,000years heritage existence.

Even the account that Oduduwa came from Mecca area to attack an organized indigenous people of Ile-Ife, revealed the devilish position of those that reported same fallacy. The link below clear such evil narratives... https://m./157218294674152/permalink/1064207763975196/

The question is when was Ugbomokun area suddenly turned to Ile-Ife? Was Arabia people before Oodua Race or that Arabia evolved after many thousands years that Karo o jire/ Omoluabi Race have been in existence? Surely, the entire package exposed European Colonial Concocted Abracadabra to devalue Oodua heritage foundation!!!

Back to the real topic....
Which characters are Okanbi and Oranmiyan in Oodua Land? What does Ifa Corpus says about their existence? Which family (ies) or People (s) have Ancestry Lineage Praises-Oriki linking with either Okanbi and Oranmiyan? Are the Oranmiyan or Oranyan mentioned in Ado Bini (Benin), Oyo Aladikun, Yariv Sudan, Yoruba Oranyan the same person?

Now let's analyze the position of the supposed 7 or 8 children of Okanbi together.....

✓ Orangun of Ila:
Most Cognomen of Orangun remain scanty without any link with either Okanbi nor Oduduwa. The strange identity found inside their Ancestry Lineage Praises-Oriki which is AJANGUNLA cast more doubt over the praises, because the occupant of the Orangun is never of warrior status. The Ifa Corpus clearly identify the favoured candidate on Orangun Throne as Orunmila Priesthood lineage!

✓ Onipopo of Popo:
The available Ancestry Lineage Praises-Oriki revealed that Popo was an area that covers both the present day Ufe Afapameh and Ufe Atapameh of today Benin/ Togo Republics.

✓ Alaketu of Ketou/Ketu:
Most research heritage facts available pointed clearly that the area was a Dynasty established by Èsù Offsprings.

✓ Onisabe of Sabe:
The historical facts surrounding this Dynasty are far from link with either Oduduwa or Okanbi. But most cultural revelations linking the land revealed that the real Ancestry Title was 'OLA' not Onisabe. Again, it is confirmed that Sabe evolved from part of Onikoyi Dynasty!

✓ Olowu of Owu:
The available Ancestry Lineage Praises-Oriki failed to link with either Oduduwa or Okanbi. Of interest is the fact that a known Descendant of Sacred Atiba Lineage of Oduduwa called "ÒTÙKÒ" was acknowledged inside Owu Cognomen as only Dynasty that can collect Royalties and taxes from Owu People.

✓ Owa Obokun Adimula:
The available Ancestry Lineage Praises-Oriki revealed that the Dynasty was founded by Owaluse. The location of Owa Obokun base called Ilesha was initially known as Obe/ Egan Abiri and the Ilesha main settlement was an international market established by Onijebu Dynasty linking 3 Enu-odi Ijebu boundaries area. Owaluse, also called Olujobi was an Erin ( formerly Erinmoko, but now crested as Erin-Ijesha) offspring of Princess Orunnodo(Onijebu Daughter as Mother) and Agbeleku (Son of Ogun Dynasty).

✓ Oranmiyan:
That Oranmiyan left Ile-Ife to Ado Bini and left the place to found Oyo (slippery plateau). Was he the same person that moved to Yariv Sudan and Yoruba Ethiopia? Then, what's the difference between Oranmiyan and Oranmigun or Oranyan and Orangun? Why is Oranmiyan not reflected inside the Ancestry Lineage Praises-Oriki of Oba Ado Bini or Aláàfin of Oyo? If the position of Oranmiyan founded Oyo is correct, how do we handle the past history of Olufe- Aladikun or Oloyo? Aláàfin, it's clearly stated that the occupant of the Throne is an offspring of the Sacred Atiba Royal Lineage of Oduduwa Dynasty. While, that of Ado Bini (Benin) revealed an offspring of Ogun Dynasty with corresponding link with Adimula of Sacred Atiba! The assertion that Oranmiyan embarked upon the journey from Ile-Ife was serious fallacy. Because Ile-Ife was never in existence during the period under review, but area known as Ugbomokun, before European Colonial Rogues crested the area as Ile-Ife.

✓ Alara of Ara & Ajero of Ijero:
The fantasy that surrounded the 2monarchs related to that of Orangun of Ila. Both Orangun, Alara and Ajero are Orunmila descendants. Their Cognomens and Ifa verses revealed their Identities as Offsprings of Orunmila.

TO BE CONTINUED!!!

I wonder the origin of these distortions. Though I'm pretty sure they were for political reasons

LAMURUDU POSTULATION: A SERIOUS FALLACY TOWARDS EXISTENCE OF OODUA RACE!

Lamurudu was reported to be Arabia Ancestor that was deposed by the JIHADISTS. Whenever, we raised rejection order that Oodua people never have anything to do with Arabia Lamurudu existence, those within Arabia Spiritual bondages would continue to cry foul all over places.

Oodua nation have been existing many thousands years before Abraham to Ismael that the Arabia world are now celebrating. It must be revealed here again in line with HADITH invocations, all Black Muslims are Slaves to the Arabia world and that's why Black Muslims must join in offering sacrifices to the Arabia Deity known as Allah that have a Black Stone alike Meteorite, established as a shrine inside a well decorated Sacred Pagan Shrine now recognizes as KAABA in Mecca.

In OODUA the cultural cosmology, different attributes existed between our Ancestors known as ORISAs and as our heritage DEITIES namely... OBATALA, ODUDUWA, OGUN, SANGO AYILEGBE-ORUN, ESU, ORUNMILA, OSUN, OYA etc. These are Oodua DEITIES that existed many thousands years before the invention of GRECO-ROMAN MYTHICAL GOD/ALLAH and they all possessed various Spiritual attributes to governed the Spiritual conducts of their followers or worshippers.

Unfortunately, Biblical God and Quranic Allah possessed different attributes comparable to human emotional conducts. You are please requested to go through individual attributes of European God and Arabia inside their various Spiritual books called Bible and Qur'an!

OLODUMARE as the mother tongues of every Oodua offsprings, even to Edo people is OSANOBUA, to Hausa people is OBANGIJI, to NDIGBO people is CHINEKE...... and host of African mother tongues!

To understand OLODUMARE as supreme and not comparable with either European God nor Arabia Allah, We first need to ask ourselves these basic questions...

√ How long have humanity been existing?
√ When did Christianity doctrine Started?
√ who are those behind the formation of Christianity?
√ When did Islamic doctrine Started?
√ Who are those behind the formation of Islamic faith?

Lamurudu issue remained one of antics that European and JIHADISTS deliberately orchestrated in order to distort our historical existence. Therefore, Oodua historical root base of humanity that cannot link with Ancient Kemet, Ancient Nubia, Ethiopia & Sudan remained European fabricated fables!

Consequently, Why are the 4 Languages Spoken in both Oodua, Kemet (southern Egypt), Ethiopia, Southern Sudan linked together? In realism ......Who are the real Ancient People known as NUBIANS? When we are able to know the people, their language evolution patterns and basic of cultural similarities, the obvious revelations must lead us to the main Root of humanity!

It's clearly revealed that Aku/Oyo dynasty are very important to the emegenceof Oodua Race!
Surprisingly, when you mentioned Aku/Oyo dynasty, my people get confused because of the believed that Oranmiyan founded Oyo, as concocted by European rogues to tamper with our heritage. Meanwhile, Oranmiyan existence sounded as one of our ancient Giant Warrior Title that we carelessly lost its accounts of RELEVANCE!

In digging deeper to our historical existence, it's noted that Oyo have been in existence many thousands years before the period of 13th century of their imaginary Oranmiyan.

Prince ObaLoye Òtùkò Adimula believed that NUBIA was a fake identity imposed over Ufe Oodaye/Ooye Aboriginal settlements area by European Rogues. Many of we Educated individuals are confusingly lazy to either research, investigate or ask variation questions. I am still working on how to get clue of identities of the settlements that were already corrupted with both Arabia and European criminal identities, which are practical Ancient NILE VALLEY BASE settlement names.

Anyone in doubt of the above facts can go through the link below to understand vital points on what we have really lost into Oblivion....

For those that have knowledge of Oodua Heritage existence, many questions are bound to call for critical analysis to unravel Oodua historical facts that are almost lost into oblivion. Many historical lies all over play like those in the below link...

Prince ObaLoye Òtùkò Adimula remembers today when he met with Our Oodua Spiritual Leader, OoniOrisa Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja ll in the year 2018. Part of the points raised that night was for the Majesty to set-up a historical review committee and that I shall be available to offer some important facts for the committee to work upon. But our supposed Spiritual Father decided to keep me far in the waiting!

Anyway, Omo'Oba Onijebu is alone today and must not allow all those important historical facts under his custody to die with him, without disseminating the real accounts of Oodua heritage existence to all the KARO O JIRE People. https://m./157218294674152/permalink/1579596762436291/

Do you know there's NO Opa Oranmiyan (Oranyan Staff) inside Ugbomokun Land, now crested as Ile-Ife by European Colonial Rogues. The main question to ask ourselves remains, how we are able to allow such brainwashing fallacy from European Colonial Rogues to manipulate us to this level of fictional historical deceit

Undoubtedly, the Staff inside Ancient Ugbomokun land where supposed Oranmiyan Staff is standing today was Originally known as Opa Alaaye (Alaaye Staff). Let those that have contrary facts on Oranmiyan Staff over ALAAYE STAFF challenge me now ........

The Offsprings of OBALUFON known as Alaaye of Efon-Alaaye must come out to offer explanation to the world and answer the following questions....
✓ Who was Alaaye of Ugbomokun?
✓ How did Efon-Alaaye People get to their present location?
✓ Are Efon People related to Oranmiyan?
✓ Who was ELEFON (God of rains) to Efon, Ifon, Aramoko etc?
✓ How did ELEFON Ancestry Statue find its way into Atiba Ijebu in Ijebu Egboro before the Ancient Palace was burgled?

REPLY:
My great Brother, your QUERY above only portrait you as a mere historical Alarmist that's totally confused with even the real questions you are supposed to ask to gain knowledge of your existence. Can you go back to the piece to read again in other to grasp the facts therein? https://m./157218294674152/permalink/1579022925827008/

First of all, you need to remember or know that the entire Oodua Spiritual base (Ufe People) was sacked and they were sojourned to Oke Ugbomokun, now known as OKE IGBO before Ondo Town. Whereas, about 4 Oonis were buried at Oke Ugbomokun. The names of those OoniOrisa buried at Oke Ugbomokun are...
✓ Kumbusu
✓ Abeweila
✓ Ayikiti Ninu Aran (Ojaja 1) that's Forcefully installed from Ibadan.
✓ Derin Ologbe Nla

Modakeke people were incharge of the entire place called Ile-Ife today for almost a century. Whereas, any needed compulsory Rituals were not done, except on express permission from Modakeke warriors.

Don't forget that Ooni Adelekan Olubuse 1 that ruled between 1894- 1910 was the first Ooni that again ruled over this present Ile-Ife after the evacuation of Modakeke combatants initiated through series of appeals and interventions from Alaafin Alowolodu Adeyemi 1.

Before then, Ijebu warriors known as IPAYEs and OLODEs had already been neutralized by the influx of European Colonial Rogues (European Rogues were those instigated Kiriji war with yet to be reported reasons) in the early 19th Century. Historically, Onijebu from Ijebu Atiba (before destroyed) influence had its boundary at ISEYIN before the fall of Oyo Katunga, which caused influx of Several Oyo warriors downward.

The fear from the War ALARMISTS demanded for the relocation of the seat of Oyo Authority downward to Ago D'Oyo by the then Alaafin in the year 1834, Oyo Katunga Atiba was never conquered!

Prince ObaLoye Òtùkò Adimula avered that upon your challenge above, the entire area called Ile-Ife today was originally known as Ugbomokun, with Aboriginal Leader known as ELEFON (known as The God of rains), the ancestry father of all the OBALUFONs. Kindly know that 'NO' OBALUFON ruled as Ooni of Ife, but as ELEFON over Ugbomokun land.

However, the Migration Locations of Olufe-Obatala, the Spiritual Leader of Oodua Spiritual Troupe from Ufe Atelubebe to the Ugbomokun land changed the identity of the area to Ufe land and literarily known as Otu Ufe!!!?

You may wish to carefully investigate the veracity of Olufe-Obatala and Oodua Spiritual Troupe Migration Locations as tabulated below....
✓ Ufe Oodaye: Presumed to be around Nile Valley Basin Area, Which Archeologists brought out evidence of over 2 million years human activities.
✓ Ufe Ooye/ Oyelagbo: Presumed to be around Igbale Aye, which Archeologists discovered to have existed over 450,000 years old of humanism.
✓ Ufe Atapameh/Afapameh: Presumed to be the Ancient POPO Area that today Covered both lower base Benin Republic and Togo Republic.
✓ Ufe Abure: Presumed to be around Ikirun- Ofa-Ede Area
✓ Ufe Atelubebe/ Akanlubebe: Presumed to be the Esun Land, now known as Ekiti Land.
✓ Otu Ufe: Ugbomokun land crested as Ile-Ife by European Colonial Rogues.

ABEOKUTA AND EGBA PEOPLE: THE TERRIBLE DAMAGE DONE TO OODUA CULTURAL HERITAGE BY EUROPEAN COLONIAL ROGUES!

HERITAGE QUERY:
Baba Adimula, Egba Abeokuta are from Ile-Ife and Kabiyesi Alake said his lineage are from Oduduwa. Is it true?
By Anonymous

REPLY:
Abeokuta was founded in 1830. The initial name of the city was “Oko Adagba” meaning “Adagba's farmstead”; Adagba was an ITOKO farmer of Oyo Dynasty. Sodeke was Egba leader that led the Egba people to the land, whereas Adagba, an ITOKO man was met there.

There was nothing like Ile-Ife as at 1830. The ancestry name of Ugbomokun was already changed to Ufe Land and known as Otu Ufe, after the migration locations of Olufe-Obatala that moved all the Ancestry Oodua Spiritual Troupe (Headquarters) from Ufe Atelubebe, known as Esun Land and presently identified as Ekiti Land to Ugbomokun.

European Colonial Rogues changed Ufe Land (Otu Ufe) to become Ile-Ife late 19th Century. Thereafter, in early 20th Century, precisely year 1910, when a German Explorer called LEO FROBENIUS led an expedition to Otu Ufe, where he found the brass head of Olokun (the god of the ocean from the Yoruba pantheon), which was henceforth taken as a proof of the high standard of African art.

The first Alake of Egba was Okekenu Sagbua was enthroned on the 8th August, 1854. Sagbua (an ancient traditional title within OGBONI) was one of the appointed ILARIs of Oyo Empire then!

Egba People originally lost their Ancestry Land due to several raids from the early Slave Raiders and Merchants. Majority of Egbas are presently domicile in the State of Bahia in Brazil and also Cuba!

Egba was coined from an Ancestry name of their Ancestor known as ÈSÙ ELÉGBÀRÁ. Alake as a title was derived from the ancestry ALAKETOU Supreme Title, which KETOU remains the homestead of ÈSÙ Dynasty.

ÈSÙ ELÉGBÀRÁ was a direct Male Offspring of ÈSÙ OLA'LU, who founded KETUO Kingdom that covers from the IDAHOMEY land (now Republic of Benin) to Lagos Island and up to the present Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Any aboriginal People within the circle are ÈSÙ OLA'LU descendants, apart from Yewa People that are purely Oyo that migrated downward after the fall of Oyo Katunga Atiba!

Therefore, Abeokuta accommodated several Ethnic groups like Gbagura, Owu, Ijaye, Ika, Oke Ona etc that migrated downward from the Present Ibadan area.

The Itoko people are practically part of the Oyo Offsprings from Olufe-Aladikun, the first Oloyo before the changed from Priesthood-ship Oloyo Aladikun to the Royal-Ship Alaafin Dynasty, amongst the Sacred Atiba Princes from the Oduduwa Dynasty.

Finally, we must realize that those in Benin Republic, Togo.....up to Ghana Republic and beyond are originally Oodua Ancestry Stocks...... the historical existence that's somehow going into oblivion gradually!!!?

The major reason Water Works in all Nigerian states barely function is because Nigerians mostly DON'T pay their water bill. While growing up, people in the area I used to live will burst water pipes, then we'll start fetching water once the Lagos Water Corporation supplies water at 4/6pm.
The corporation now supplies water 3 times a week.
Nigerians ruined the water corporation just like they ruined NEPA by owing debts and free connection.
This is not to imply that the Water Corporation boards were not complicit in some way, but I'll blame the state governors more for their lack of strict monitoring and punishment of offenders.
Throughout my stay in a Francophone African country, I never lacked water once for 3 years! I always pay my bill on time. If I refuse to pay, the board will come and take away my meter and I dare not burst their pipes. I'll have to go to the Corporation to pay a hefty fine.
My neighbours that didn't pay their bills on time cannot fetch water in my apartment beyond a day cuz my bill will skyrocket!

bukky1994:
are you damn serious?

I'm dead serious. I wonder how it feels to parent such a boy. But it's best left in one's imagination. He's my older brother though

He's right.
Because the governors are the ones in charge of the military and paramilitary. They are also the one debriefed daily by the military intelligence on the affairs of the country.
Buhari is not to blame at all
Mtcheeew.
Daft punk is shifting blame

AliseKazah:
Shebi, these same countries have the “wokeness” you hate. They are mostly non religious, don’t beat kids and are soft. Why do you not run to Latin America?

You answered the question already. It's about "economics" or "finance"”. Nigerians not only Japa to western countries, they japa to anywhere they think offers them better opportunities. E.g Dubai, South Africa, China, etc.
It's about economics.

9 April 2021
A top Russian official has warned that Moscow could intervene to help Russian-speaking residents in eastern Ukraine if Ukraine launches an all-out assault on separatists there.

Russian-backed separatist and Ukrainian troops have been clashing in the east of the country.

Russia has also been building up troops on the border with Ukraine.

The official, Dmitry Kozak, said that Russian forces could intervene to "defend Russian citizens".

"Everything depends on the scale of the conflagration," he said. He is deputy head of Russia's presidential administration.

He also warned that an escalation could mark the "beginning of the end" for Ukraine - "not a shot in the leg, but in the face".

The Ukrainian military says one of its soldiers was killed on Thursday (8 April 2021) by shooting from the separatists. The rebels used machine-guns, grenades and mortars several times and Ukrainian forces fired back, the military was quoted as saying.

The Ukrainian army commander, Gen Ruslan Khomchak, said "we see the build-up of Russian troops near Ukraine's state border.

"However, this does not mean that our country is being encircled. The situation is under control."

Earlier the rebels said one of their fighters was killed when Ukrainian troops fired mortars at a village on the outskirts of the city of Donetsk.

The United States and Germany have both expressed concern at the increase in tensions.

Why are Ukraine-Russia tensions rising?

Russia has been increasing the number of troops at the Ukrainian border, but at the same time maintains that they should not be seen as a threat.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Russian troop numbers there were the highest since 2014, when the conflict in eastern Ukraine began. She described the situation as "deeply concerning".

Russia has not detailed troop numbers, but the Ukrainian military asserted at the end of March that some 20,000 Russian troops had been moved towards Ukraine's border. Video has emerged on social media of Russian trains moving heavy weaponry, apparently towards the region.

For months there have been sporadic clashes between Ukrainian troops and the Moscow-backed separatists in the Donbas region, violating a fragile ceasefire daily.

Eastern Ukraine peace deal explained

Ukraine says 25 of its troops have been killed in the conflict zone so far this year, and 50 died in the whole of last year.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the region on Thursday to see "the locations of the escalation" and "be with our soldiers in the tough times in Donbas".

[Former] German Chancellor Angela Merkel discussed the conflict in a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday.

She urged Russia to "de-escalate tensions" by pulling troops back, while Mr Putin accused Ukraine of inflaming the situation in the east.

What else did the Kremlin official say?

In Moscow, Mr Kozak likened the current situation of the separatists to Srebrenica, the town in Bosnia-Herzegovina where 8,000 Muslim men were killed by Bosnian Serb forces in 1995.

"If, as our president says, there is a Srebrenica there, we shall probably have to come to their defence," Mr Kozak said.

President Putin first suggested in 2019 that Russian-speaking residents might suffer a Srebrenica-like massacre if Ukraine regained full control of Donbas without guarantees. He has always made it clear the Russian state reserves the right to defend ethnic Russians abroad, and in 2019 signed a law making it easier for people in separatist areas to obtain Russian passports.

Mr Kozak suggested the rebels could hold their own for now against Ukrainian forces, as they consisted of "battle-hardened units".

What's the background to all this?

The roots of the conflict go back to March 2014, when Russia annexed the Ukrainian region of Crimea. Pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych had fled the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in February, after massive street demonstrations and clashes.

Russia's military intervention sparked a major rift with Western nations, prompting the European Union and the US to impose sanctions on Russia.

A month later, Russian-backed separatists in the mainly Russian-speaking Donbas seized much of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Western governments and Nato accused Russia of sending regular troops over the border into Ukraine, but Russia maintains any Russian fighters there are volunteers.

Ukraine's President Zelensky came to power promising to bring about peace, and a ceasefire was signed last July. Both sides have since accused each other of violating it.

The conflict is estimated to have killed 14,000 ethnic Russians in Ukraine.

I really hope SanwoOlu starts deporting the Arewa youths sleeping on the streets and under bridges of Lagos. You people are posing a big security threat.

Hey bro …. I like your way of thinking… can we text on WhatsApp?

Thank you for reaching out, and I cherish your remark. Unfortunately, I'm not a WhatsApp person, and I'm barely active in online conversations.

My Adamawa colleague said this guy founded what metamorphosed into Boko Haram today. He said many of the terrorists were Shettima's political thugs who he abandoned.
A similar situation will be Tinubu abandoning Lagos NURTW after winning election. The outcome will be grave on Lagosians

Volksguys1985:
pls enlight me on that, i like to save in dollar too, pls my mail is dola54155@gmail.com

Saving in dollars isn't hard at all.
Just visit your preferred bank and tell them you would like to open a dollar domiciliary account, and they will give you the requirements. Or you could visit the bank's website for the requirements.
That's all.

Though I'll advise you open more than one domiciliary account so you can keep more than one type currency. E.g You'll open accounts for US Dollars and for Chinese Yuan. Because if there's scarcity of dollars, the CBN might give strict austerity measures that will make you temporarily unable to withdraw your dollars.

.
First, if you are not business inclined, DON'T do any business, just stick to your job. But if you are business inclined, travel round, make thorough investigations (if possible, do boy-boy [internship] in the business market), then invest in the business. (I'll advise food or electronic business sha)

Second, avoid investing any amount in naira in any financial institution in Nigeria because naira loses value super fast these days of Buhari. Instead, you may invest your brother's 6m in buying US Dollars, Euros, British Pounds, and Chinese Yuan because these are stable currencies that doesn't lose value sharply like naira does. You can do this ONLY through a Nigerian bank. NEVER visit a bureau de change cuz they may give you fake or expired currencies (Yes, currencies do expire, especially Western currencies). Open the different accounts and keep the currencies in them.
Or you could buy solid minerals like gold, diamonds, etc and keep them WITH your bank. You may ask your bank for advise about this. But NEVER hold any currency investment in Naira, or any other unstable currency.

Third, IF (and only if) you have interest in migration, and age is on your side, you can migrate to any economically growing Western country (North America or Western Europe). With 8m, you should migrate now before naira falls further. You can go further studies or for migration proper.

The Oshodi in question is the popular Lagos State's Oshodi of Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area, not Oshodi of Oshodi-Tapa, Lagos Island as the O.P has presumed.
I guess the O.P is either a grandpa that has left Nigeria since the 70's or a under 18 child on Lagos Island
