I know it will be the wasterners, anything Yoruba muslim touches becomes dust. Useless pipu

The same way your father is u.seless?

Funny but true

FalseProphet1:
I see the police becoming extinct in Nigeria, I see Nigerians rising up against them as a result of the atrocities they gave committed against the innocent.

This I have seen.

The day you will become blind with this nonsense you keep seeing is around the corner.

I think people use it...

Tomek09:
Tinubu installs and removes governor. How can Lagos develop when the resources meant for its development are cornered by one political lord who amass state funds with bullion van. Let him come and try such rubbish in SE and see hell. That's one thing I like about Igboland. Who you be na for ur pocket. Nonsense Afonja slavemaster.

You people are just too doll with your chest beating. Abia state remain one of the poorest state with little to no infrastructure in the whole Nigeria. The last time I checked, the state was run aground by one Family (Orji uzor), what has you chest beaters done to Kalu? Presently,Kalu is a Senator while his son is a speaker in Abia State House of Assembly.

This is bad... But op should include graphic in his headline.

Kyari again?

The citizen should watch their back, Buhari is ready to send soldiers to massacre them in Plateau going by his antecedent with this kind of statement.

UselessBuhari:
They attack Kogi, but Kogi people do not fold their hands and watch, they kill and even eat them!

You have got correct answer to that. In my own village, hundreds of herdsmen were killed when they think they can do the nonsense they were doing in other places. We don't wait for them to attack in the night, hunters will take the battle to them in the bushes and Forrest.

jattopeter:
I stand to be corrected.
I suspected foul play , how comes they are not showing us Queen's and Cross's vote.
all i felt is the lady was becoming too confidence that she cant go .
All i know is there are so many things happening behind the scene.

You are right. After the eviction, big brother called Cross into the diary room and nobody know what they discussed, and I also overheard one of the house mate saying the calling was unusual.

Oya ji masun... Na my long neck them dey see. If I could run away, I would run run far away to a place wey money dey......

Ur a dummy I swear .... Go back to ur history ....look at Kings dat dominate decades ago .....do u know that it was Benin that name Lagos eko ? It was Benin that discovered Lagos do you know that most Yoruba kings where buried in Benin before being abolished see go back to ur history

(1) ON ITSEKIRI:

To know who the Itsekiris are, ask them. What/who do the Itsekiris themselves say they are?

(A) The eyewitness accounts collected from them in the 1800s have them confirming to the Europeans that they are part and parcel of the larger Yoruba group:

(I) “Let me now refer briefly to the tribes that people this part of the world. First we come to the Jakris, who are connected in race and language with the Yoruba people, extending from the Mahin country on the west to the Forcados on the East, and inland about as far as Sapele.”

~ H. L. Gallwey, “Journeys in the Benin Country, West Africa,” The Geographical Journal, Vol. 1, No. 2 (Feb., 1893), p.127.

(II) “In this respect, however, the officials agree with the tradition of the people at Warri, the Jekries, who claim to come from the west.”

~ H. Ling Roth, “Great Benin: Its Customs, Arts and Horrors,” (1903), pp.8-9.

(B) This historical reality of the Itsekiris have remained the same since that period (i.e. the 1800s & prior) all the way to the present century, day & time.

(I) For example, at timestamp 7:01 to 7:13 of this video, Chief Robinson Ariyo (the Egogo of Warri kingdom) says and I quote:

“… Yoruba, a place where we are from … our roots.”


(II) At timestamp 8:22 to 8:27 of this video, Chief Isaac Jemide (the Oshodin of Warri kingdom) says:

“… we are a Yoruba people as such.”


(2) ON ODUDUWA:

First of all, there is no such historical personage called Izoduwa (Imadoduwa) etc. in Benin traditions.

The IzOdUwA narrative is a fabrication that was made up by some Binis in the 1970s. And it was first heard of by the typical Edo person during Omonoba Erediauwa’s coronation ceremony of 1978-9.

Academic/professional historians (NOT the Benin neighborhood story-tellers) all laugh at this fabrication for being a poor job. This scandal is known to experts. Benin elders also know it. See attached screenshot for one example.

The classical story of the Bini Ekeladerhan which was first collected in the year 1889 is clear that he lived the remaining part of his life in his newly founded kingdom, Ughoton.

A Bini chronicler and chief (J. Uwadiae Egharevba) who flourished decades later also collected practically the same story of Ekaladerhan (from an entirely different generation of Bini informants), and his story also ended at his kingdom, Ughoton.

During all these period, Benin history recognizes King Oduduwa as being distict from Ekeladerhan. In fact, it is clear from the early Benin works that Oduduwa was already a King at Ife long before Ekaladerhan’s fore-fathers would be born.

In other words, it is very clear from the early records of Benin history that Oduduwa ruled in Ife when the first Ogiso, viz. Ogiso Igodo was sent to Igodomigodo to establish a supreme-supra-chiefdom there.

Whereas, Ekalderhan is the son of the last Ogiso, viz. Ogiso Owodo according to Benin records (even the recent records haven’t yet modified this part).

This is what the earliest records of Benin history say — that, Oduduwa is a different and distinct person from Ekeladerhan. They flourished in different eras.

Fast forward to the 1970s, lies began to surface in the history of Benin. The motive behind these lies have been variously linked, by scholars, to — for example — the need for the modern Binis “to ground the idea of an exceptional antiquity for their people and claims for its exclusive part in the sociopolitical life of independent Nigeria” ~ Bondarenko (2003:68).

In summary, early Benin history recognize Oduduwa as a different & distinct person from Ekaladerhan. He is recognized as having flourished at the outset of the Ogiso monarchy. It wasn’t until the 1970s before the Binis attempted to alter their own early documented history so as to equate two different persons as one and the same person for the purpose of veiling what they perceive to be an embarrassing aspect of their history in a newly formed country, Nigeria.

So, who is King Oduduwa? Oodua ruled as king only in Yorubaland. So, again (just like the Itsekiris’s case) ask at Ife (where he ruled) to know who he is.

According to received Ife traditions (and obviously the earliest Yoruba traditions), Oduduwa is known (without any confusion) as Oshin Ora in his oriki.

In the earliest Yoruba traditions, he is identified as a Yoruba leader who hailed from the hilly settlement of Oke-Ora; that is, one of the seven hilly settlements surrounding the Ife-bowl.

BiggyB242:
Is the soul purpose of a church to increase in number or win souls for Christ irrespective of the church they decide to attend. Winners are so desperate to have a large population. They know an increase in growth is equivalent to an increase in income.

You had the correct interpretation to the who scenario!

All these Aboki boys go show up now

Oga travel and see things yourself before concluding/saying things you don't understand. I am from the SS region but I live in the NE Gombe State to be precise. It's not what you think.

Most of their hospitals were run by Southern doctors and chunks of Fresh graduate doctors serving in the northern States, Even their schools (primary and secondary) were majorly relied on the Corpers from south or some north Central States which are majorly Christians.

Babatunde7109:
Why should you be interested in the covering of her hair? Can she not protect and practice her belief in peace?

This is the height of religious intolerance.

The fact that you like to eat before brushing your teeth doesn't mean others cannot exercise what they believe in: to brush before eating.

In application, the fact that you're confortable to uncover your hair doesn't mean others are. Your belief, their belief.

The headline is about someone (a female) receiving numerous awards for being the best graduating students in a special field, and what interests you the most is the covering of her hair. Thus attacking her belief.

About what Muslim girls gain from covering their hairs. When you see a Muslim lady covering her hair and other sensitive part of her body, she gains DIGNITY from doing so. (Don't ever forget this.)

Despite covering hair, I f*ck nonsense comot from their body while serving in one of the north east state�� Forget all these northern Muslim girls hypocrisy, they are more cheaper to bed than an average southern girls I swear to God! The joy of it is, they won't even ask you for anything (money) all what they want na d*ck, likewise the way they consume hard drugs inside their hijab you go fear��

There are actually things you can engaged yourself online and make more than what you are earning presently in as much you have a smartphone. Yes, you earn double of what you are collecting as salary without leaving your room... If you can get small amount of money with the experience you had in laundry already, you can set up your own laundry business and you will make cool money.

They should settle their differences amicably. Odua Agbewa ooo

I keep on thinking it... I haven't seen a region that is as foolish as those Niger Delta. Even me as a Yoruba person, if oil of that large quantity is found in our land, make I come see person wey go tell us one Nigeria. Aboki are the majority of the share holders follow by Yoruba while the Yorubas are the MD's at the same time. Their environment is been degraded and the Abokis are wasting billions of dollars on terrorism they created using Niger Delta money to buy arms and embezzle the remaining. The corruption in Niger Delta stinks to high heaven, once their leaders got a crumb and the militant are settled, the rest could go and die.
