naijababe: Honestly, I don't know why our universities are so fooking lazy Do you know how much an online course in Yoruba philosophy can generate for O.A.U?

Seriously I don't think they know what they are missing out. A verifiable religion and culture with so much yoruba literature to learn from. IFA as a discipline should be studied even up to the Post-Graduate Level. It is so painful because even the core materials are been hidden from us.

I just think some IFE elders should remove the Bad ESEs and Publish the good ones for the betterment of our culture and generations to come.

Ada Nri1: That's because JEHOVAH is the GOD we worship.

Woman IFA doesn't not contradict your Religion (either Christianity, Islam or whatever).
IFA deals with the Character of all. In tandem with the meaning of 0duduwa (Odu to du Iwa), our culture preaches good virtues, honesty and a pure character. So whether you are a christian or muslim- YOU ARE WELCOME.

aribisala0: Not sure what you mean by this question.Source of Ifa ??

By source, I mean where u got these interpretations from. I have never come across such interpretations that are so precise and accurate. I hail u o.

aribisala0: IRETE IKA

Irete was cast for Orunmila,
Ika was cast for Orunmila,
on the day that he was looking for work.
They said that Orunmila would always be busy
doing the work of an Awo, that people
would call on him all over the world
to do Awo's work for them.
They instructed him to sacrifice
four pigeons and 8000 cowries.
He listened and made the sacrifice.
Orunmila has not been without work
ever since. Ebo: 4 pigeons and money.

LOL. What's your source please? I mean the uninterpreted one.

franksunny: hope it add value to our nation like jerusalem, mecca and others that you mention

Yes it should. But we must first appreciate that which is ours.
Currently, IFA as a religion has around 500,000 worshipers in Brazil alone and around 2 million scattered across the world. But still very unpopular in our Nation.

Yes Osun.Ife
Civilization to us seem to mean the relegation of our culture to the background.
A close observation of the Odu and Ese shows that the study of Corpus is a prerequisite for the Yoruba religion and culture which is not as practiced in the yoruba land as it is in the Caribbean.
The yoruba religion stands for Peace, Honesty, and many more good virtues of life.
But our people now believe prophets who create situations and solutions in our imagination where we have a more problem solving culture where You don't need a special prophetic talent to learn the corpus, you only need to study and memorize all Odu and Ese in it which may take years.

@Osun*Ife

Can we discuss more on Odu and Ese of the Ifá literary corpus. How they came into being. How we have allowed it to be partially extincted from our present day life.

Nigerian Police Force and their stupid modus operandi. Must they tell the entire world this is and insider case and they are inviting the families. Foolish People

Is there any State called Ekiti in Nigeria? If there is, I doubt if President Jonathan and his cabinet members know it. What played out on Wednesday (5th December, 2012) at the budget defence by the Ministry of Works and the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) before the Senate Committee of Works called to question the knowledge of President Jonathan and his cabinet members about States and their capitals in Nigeria. States and capitals are one of those things pupils are taught and as one grows up, it naturally sticks without having to stand up and recite them to mum and dad at home or the teacher at school. However, the Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen, seemed to forget his States and Capitals and needed to be nudged by the Senate Committee of Works.

Just as it is done every year when ministries, departments and agencies of government come before the federal legislature to defend their budgets, the Ministry of Works and the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency took the stage before the Senate Committee of Works on Wednesday, but what played out was nauseous, so much so that one begins to wonder whether President Jonathan knows there is any State called Ekiti in Nigeria, or probably the President and his cabinet cannot draw a line between governance and politics. It could also be that there is a sinister plot to intentionally under-develop Ekiti State which his party, the PDP, lost at the Appeal Court.

Although events since that loss at the appellate court have shown the President and his party members as bad losers, trying fruitlessly to discredit Justice Ayo Salami and smear the judiciary, the events of Wednesday at the Senate dwarfed the earlier ones.

In the Federal Ministry of Works budget for 2013, Ekiti has the least number of roads to be constructed. While some States were “lucky” to get 25, 15 and 10 respectively, only 4 were listed for the Land of Honour and all 4 are fake. The four “roads” to be constructed in Ekiti are Ogbomoso/Oko-Ologbo/Osogbo road (Osun), Ikorodu/Imota road (Lagos), Ido Ani/Idogun/Imeri/Ayegunle road (Ondo) and Lafia/Doma road (Nassarawa). These are the roads the Honourable Minister Mike Onolememen listed as roads to be constructed in Ekiti State. Unfortunately, none of these roads are in Ekiti. They are probably drain-pipes, like the subsidy malaise.

This is not a first. Year in year out similar frauds have been perpetrated in the name of Ekiti State. Even when projects are undertaken in Ekiti, it is either they are underfunded or not funded at all. This year for instance, critical roads in the State were listed for repairs in the FERMA budget, but what is on ground is a far cry from what is on paper. N280 million was budgeted for the repairs of critical failed sections of Akure/Ado and Ekiti/Omuaran roads, but only N83million was released. Maintenance repairs of Ifaki/Ikole, Omuo/Oyin/Ondo roads should have gulped N386million, but only N57 million made it out of government coffers. N334 million was budgeted for the general maintenance, repairs and pavement strengthening of Ado/Aramoko/Itawure/Osun border roads, but like the others, N50 million was released. Also, N25 million was budgeted for the special repairs of critical sessions along Ado/Ikere/Ondo State border road;nothing was, however, released. The special repairs of critical sessions along Ifaki/Odo road should have gulped N24 million; also, nothing was released.

Had Senator Babafemi Ojudu (Ekiti Central), who is a member of the Senate Committee of Works, not raised objections to the fake roads listed in the name of Ekiti State in the 2013 budget, it would probably have been the same old song.

If this is the type of people who surround Jonathan, what is the fate of Nigeria, or probably the Southwest?

Were it not for the intervention of the Vice Chairman of the Works Committee, Senator Mohammed Bashir Garba, who chaired the session, it could probably have become uglier. The Vice Chairman ended the open session and directed that it go into a close session where the Minster of Works allegedly apologised and promised to correct the fraud they could have committed in the name of Ekiti State.

Onolememen and his ministry are not the only ones involved in this deliberate attempt to consign Ekiti to the background, there are others. Sometimes, I wonder if Caleb Olubolade (Jonathan’s Police Affairs Minister, who some say is interested in the governorship seat of the State) is from Ekiti. Is this the kind of records he intends brandishing on his CV to garner votes of Ekiti indigenes come 2014?

Like I earlier said, the deliberate marginalisation of Ekiti State goes beyond the Ministry of Works. Stories abound of how indigenes of other Yoruba-speaking States are tutored to claim Ekiti in the recruitment into the armed forces. Some of these impostors allegedly became army generals.

Recently, I drew the attention of Nigerians to the anomalies in the Federal Civil Service recruitment. While 2, 230 were shortlisted from Benue State, 1, 600 from Anambra, 1, 300 from Edo, out of the 1, 500 who applied from Ekiti, only 199 were shortlisted.

With events like these, one wonders whether Nigeria belongs to us all and if Ekiti is indeed part of Nigeria. Even if federal character is no longer in effect, the qualification of Ekiti indigenes for these jobs can never be in doubt. What then is the problem? What I think is that there is a deliberate effort by Goodluck Jonathan administration to sideline Ekiti. For whatever offence, I don’t know.

One is also tempted to ask whether President Jonathan has launched a battle against the Southwest, as the Southwest, with its deadly pothole-adorned roads, has the least number of roads to be constructed and repaired in the 2013 budget. Is there more to this anomaly? Is it a war between the PDP and the ACN, or rather between Jonathan and Tinubu and recently, between Jonathan and Obasanjo? If so, should the ordinary Southwest people who ply these roads suffer for what they know not?

I think these are the questions Goodluck Jonathan and his cabinet members should answer. These are the questions all Ekiti and Southwest people should ask him and his cabinet. Senator Babafemi Ojudu has unmasked the masquerade; other Ekiti federal lawmakers should follow suit in their respective committees. This way, crooks in government will stop using the name of Ekiti as a drainpipe.

‘Dimeji Daniels writes from Ado in Ekiti State

But I thought our Universities make English Language a basic requirement for admission and also teach Communication in English as an important General Course.
OP. U no communicate wella o.

And you think a REAL man likes it when his partner is the bread winner? Woman, you'd better swallow your pride, be less egoistic and keep looking out for the best (which will surely come if you are patient and willing).
You'd prefer never to get married? Then ask those who are happily married about the joy of matrimony.
There are many woman out there who are far richer than their husbands and yet very happy in their marriage.
I as a man don't care if my partner is richer than me so long as I can afford to take care of my home, raise my kids and show my love and care to her.

Oga o.
The last one month has witnessed a whole lot of political drumbeating, calculations and permutations.
OBJ threw a punch about tackling terrorism and tagging GEJ as weak
GEJ responded through his Attack lion
OBJ responded again through FFK
Atiku bought himself a leadership Award.
Atiku donated to Obasanjo's mosque. Only Northern Leaders attended
Atiku bowed to OBJ at an event.
GEJ calls his aides to ORDER.

Everyone seems to be Warming up for 2015...

Mavor: If they can't obey Nigerian laws, then they should take their business elsewhere. The Chinese or Indians will gladly replace them. This shows a recurring trend in this country of lack of respect by a lot of foreign companies for Nigerian laws. They can fu<k off. For every GE, there are plenty more who can replace them. Arrant nonsense!!!

Guy, you no try at all o,
They never complained about our Law. But they questioned the credibility and competence of our Judicial arm of government.
Do we blame them?
NO. Why?
The same Nigeria Judiciary acquitted James Ibori of over 150 count charges of corruption and theft, only for him to the thrown into jail by a working judicial system.
It is no longer news that our judiciary is not totally independent. Where they are appointed indirectly by the executive and hence accountable to them. Where judgments are given to the highest bidder. Let us accept our faulty system and not throw blames to GE. I'm not saying GE may be innocent of whatever the case is, but that our judicial system is faulty is enough excuse to hide under in bid to reject the judgment.

Still did earlier today

I don't know how this relates to the topic but I think it does:

Last week Monday, after returning from work, I went straight to a nearby market to get some ingredients for a vegetable soup. To my ultimate surprise, the lady who was to sell the raw vegetable to me asked "se efe t'oko abi t'oni chemical (do u want the farm one-100naira, or chemical one-70naira)". Though the latter was very attractive and clean but cheaper than that from their local farm.
I ended getting the local one, but I'm still confused as to the differences between the both.

Chai !!! I wish say I fine sha.

OP,
If you don't want your head separated from your neck and couried to your parents, DON'T confront him, don't listen to any advice to confront him.
These are my points:
1. Getting hired assassins in the North now is as easy as getting a recharge card and it won't cost Ben 30% of his savings so he can afford it.
2. Ben knows he would be ruined for life if caught so he will fight back and when he does, its gonna be so dirty.
3. Get the Police involved. How? Don't just go to the station else they may pick ben today only to release him tomorrow. Get a case file opened, bribe (they won't work hard if you don't motivate them-Naija Police) an IPO to take up your case seriously.
4. Don't get Ben to be suspicious but don't get too close to him.
5. As the police do their job, get the Code of Conduct Bureau involved (they handle mostly civil service cases) and they are very serious about it.
6. Make sure there's enough evidence to nail him before he's picked up
7. When he's eventually picked up, he will also have to sign an undertaking that no harm will do you for the next 24 months.

Goodluck
