I just checked it now. It is Bigfrancis the Chief Igbo bigot and s3un's mod of the culture section. The same guy that turned that great section into an Igbo village lol.
How that monkey became a mod is still a mystery. The guy hates everything Yoruba.
CabbieAC: Iya Agba "Tourism with Kakanfo" will be airing today.I need a poster for that
Will get it done once I get outta bed
CabbieAC: Iya Agba I saw you talking about the idea of Itsekiris joining us.Abeg we should stop speaking for anyone or wanting others to join us.The 6 south-west states plus kwara are enough.If they want to join us,they should speak for themselves.We can't speak for anyone,it makes us look cheap.
Radoillo: I was also a little perplexed by the emboldened. I know the Igbo (especially the southern Igbo) have a savings system called Isusu, which they say they've had since the precolonial days.
But I've also seen claims that the Yoruba have a similar system which they call Esu or Esusu.
@OP: Do the Urhobo use 'ugo' for 'eagle' or is it just the Orogun that do?
CabbieAC: I no know oooo.They didn't make the list of best performing Governors neither did they make the list of the worst performing Governors
Second class lower toh bbad
So sad!!
Still sleepy...... Going back to sleep. Brb
I also think we've deviated and forgotten the true purpose of the thread by discussing about awon ajokutamamomi. Let's right to that. I don't want their mention on this thread, unless necessary. It stains it.
CabbieAC: Its not about creating it,Its about the people who're going to make things happen making use of it.What's the essence of coming up with Ideas without it being put to use
Exactly. No one is going to have the time to go through 100+ pages. We need a usable site with a databases management that makes searching for information and topics user-friendly.
CabbieAC: Sometimes you just have to accept the fact and be objective.I know the guy is a monkey but you still can't dispute the fact that he's doing some good job low-key.Have you seen the Governors rating?
Aare, can't we create a usable website (not a forum), but t an informative website for possible revenue generators, infrastructure ideas, etc for the SW?
CabbieAC: Iya Agba I'll be honest with you.Low-key this your gorimakpa governor is doing some good job even though he can be erratic for the most part.Like 70% of the positive news I've posted in the past week has been from Ekiti.
CabbieAC: Loool na so e easy to create website? Its been in my bookmarks folder for so long.I just dey dash you .If you don't want, I'll give it to someone else

Toyin Ojih Odutola is a contemporary artist who focuses on identity and the sociopolitical concept of skin color through her pen and ink drawings. Her work explores her personal journey of having been born in Nigeria then moving and assimilating into American culture in conservative Alabama. "I’m doing black on black on black, trying to make it as layered as possible in the deepness of the blackness to bring it out. I noticed the pen became this incredible tool. The black ballpoint [pen] ink on blackboard would become copper tone and I was like 'wow, this isn’t even black at all!' The black board was like this balancing platform for the ink to become something else. I instantly recognized this notion, of how we think something is a certain way and in reality it is something else…” Ojih Odutola said in an August 2013 interview about the show, My Country Has No Name in the International Review of African American Art.
When asked why the majority of her figures are black in a recent interview with the Village Voice, Ojih Odutola responded, “Of course they’re black figures because they’re drawn in black pen, but not all of the figures are of African American descent, or at least the reference isn’t. One of the things I like to play with is, “What is black?” Is it because I drew it? Is it because it looks black? Is it because you think the figure is black? Because a lot of it is just a filter, and the filters get more and more obstructed by whatever people think the image is about and not really what it is.”
Ojih Odutola has participated in several group shows including Ballpoint Pen Drawing Since 1950, Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum (2013), Fore, Studio Museum in Harlem (2012), The Moment for Ink, Chinese Cultural Center, San Francisco (2013), and The Progress of Love, Menil Collection, Houston (2012). A recent graduate of the California College of Arts MFA program (2012), Ojih Odutula’s work is already in major museum collections including the Birmingham Museum of Art, AL and The National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.
Jack Shainman Gallery started representing Ojih Odutola in 2011. Solo exhibitions with the gallery include Toyin Ojih Odutola: MAPS (2011), and My Country Has No Name (2013). Her next solo exhibition at Jack Shainman Gallery titled Of Context and Without will open on December 11, 2015.

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Thursday said the agribusiness sector remains one of the most viable areas that the Federal as well as State Governments must begin to pay serious attention to boost its revenue generation in the wake of dwindling oil prices.
Governor Ambode who spoke at the 4th European Union-Nigeria Business Forum 2015 holding at the Eko Hotels and Suites said the harsh times in the oil sector and its attendant impact on government revenue makes it imperative to look inward for creative ways of growing the economy of the country and boosting gross domestic product.
To this end, he said the agricultural sector serves as a ready alternative source of revenue generation not only to Government but also to individuals and private organizations through the various Agro allied value chains.
He commended the organisers for the theme of this year's forum, "Unlocking Opportunities for Diversification", saying it was apt as it would afford participants focus on addressing the obstacles to the effective development of the agricultural value chain.
"The EU's relationship with Nigeria is significant not only because Europe remains the top destination for Nigeria's oil and non-oil exports, but also because the region accounts for nearly one-third of Nigeria's total trade. The statistics speak for themselves", he said.
Governor Ambode said the state government on its part, recognizes the importance of the Agricultural sector in wealth and job creation as well as in growing the economy of the State and has thus made the sector one of its cardinal programmes.
He assured that the his administration will continue to build on the policies put in place by the previous administration to enhance rapid development in the sector, adding that so far, the government has energized the Agriculture Land Holding Authority (ALHA), to make more land readily available for Agricultural development.
Governor Ambode also urged prospective investors to take advantage of the wetland environment as well as a 1,500 hectares reserve of tropical hard woods to invest in water hyacinth recycling, fisheries and fish farm estate, arable crop estates, rice processing mill, livestock resources, forestry, agricultural equipment and human capacity development in Agriculture.
He however said that for the sector to achieve its full potentials, the task could not be left to the government alone, stressing that it would require private sector capital, entrepreneurial approach, innovativeness and managerial efficiency as well as the critical role of international partners and investors into the sector.
"Furthermore, in recognition of the need to create an enabling environment and enhance the ease of doing business in Lagos State we have established the Office of Overseas Affairs and Investment (also called Lagos Global) directly under my office.
"Lagos Global is a one-stop shop designed to ensure that whatever information, assistance, conditions, etc may be required by investors from the state government towards facilitating their investment in the State are provided swiftly and expeditiously, and in an environment devoid of bureaucratic bottlenecks", he said.
Governor Ambode also said that efforts have been intensified towards the completion of the 27-km Blue Line Light Rail Transit System, from Okokomaiko to Marina, expressing optimism on completion, it would foster greater economic and social integration within West Africa sub region.
He said his administration is also paying serious attention to the security and judicial sectors that would ensure the safety of investors and their investments as well as swift response to business related disputes.
