Katsumoto:
Desola is another warrior; where did she come from? Prof, who be ragdollz? I see u are really picking tips from our resident player mod.

Only cos I care, I suggest you not read Raggy Baby's old posts/cusswords; an uninitiated person could easily go blind.

And, Katsumoto wouldn't know either of the amazons since he's not here to fight, right? 

naijababe:
Isale and Ragdollz, please help a sister out. Don't let Lord Voldermort Katsumoto destroy little naijababe o. [size=5pt]Walks fearfully away from thread whimpering[/size]

You're the player, baby! 

Don't fall for it Ragdollz; Naijababe can be subtle but she is big wahala.  She'll get you too!  I'm with Katsumoto on this. 

Ragdollz,
Neh, it's self-diagnosed, by Kilode himself. Multiple. . . (huh huh, shush).

Olasquared,
Point taken. I won't call you professor anymore. No apologies and no "ma" necessary. It's all jokes. Me, I'm not bothered.

What did you get on the test? Naijababe is a Visionary Soul. She cheated. I'll tell you why later.

I am telepathically hearing the sound of bitter sobbing emanating from unnamed posters on this thread.  Yes, the nekkedness (from yesterday) is gone.  You'll survive. 

ola olabiy:
Moreover, Isale is the cheekiest Nairalander. FACT! She stokes tension then ducks out( Joking joking). I still like her sha.

Professor, who sent you?  That's twice.  I'm counting o.  Don't be surprised when I come at you hard.  And Raggy here won't save you either.   

It's been a while since anyone's taking the Soul Test.  Do it, and your 2 demerits get wiped clean - back to zero.    (You need to take it too, Ragdollz.)

ragdollz:
Thank u o jare isale gan gan and Kilode!?
Seems my reputation precedes me however, I go still gbadun the thread.

How do you know Kilode?  He has "MPD," you know. 

OAM4J,
Can you please remove the nekked picture in my thread?  It's been 24hrs.  Thank you; I appreciate it.

Sorry, but there's no Complaints thread or moderator in that section.

You're doing such a great job, I'm not sure we need Jarus.   Or Seun for that matter. 

P.S. Links, per your request.  Looks like the poster was just trolling:  https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-590933.2432.html#msg8468742

OAM4J:
You guys should stop it already. haba! dont you give up.

I have had to clean this thread many times yesterday and same thing Jarus did today.

Please lets respect ourselves and and act like adults, enough of all these ethnocentric insults.

Wow!  A lot of work for the mods.  No wonder the Politics section seemed so sparse of new threads the last few days; our new super mod has pushed them all into the Tribalism section.  Carry on o jare.

pretty sad picture [/quote]Alhaji, my brother, how are you? Is it "pretty" or is it "sad"?
I don't think most SWerners care about the Speakership.  The immediate goal is to keep it local.  Gain all the governorships and local governments.  Thats a quicker way to get your areas' needs met.

I know what jigi (mirror) means; I just forgot. 


Naijababedude,
This is what I think of your musical taste:

pfft! spit! 

Mehn, that D'Banj fellow blows chunks sha.  Dang!  And the video reads "Wande Coal featuring D'Banj."  Shouldn't it be the other way around?  Or is she not the girl dancing?  hmmm.

Please try the normal Yoruba that Isale uses.

Oh Double Heck No!  Don't out me!  They already think they're better than me cos they eat something called pako or paki or shaki whatever!  Loose lips sink ships, Kats!

What did you delete?  So, I'm cheeky, am I?  No idea why we're getting picspammed.  All you heavy-hitters can remedy this.  I don't want my thread in the nekked section of Nairaland o.  

BTW, can we lobby for a moderator for this section?  Who would want to have a banning stick and a delete button?  Raise yer hands.

2muchlogic:
You are from isale eko so I can understand why you butted in with your rude remarks. If you are not smart enough to argue your points without insults and personal attacks then please feel free to ignore my comments. To be honest you got it all wrong, even your husband cap28 is a friend, carm down and stop being silly ma je kin binu si e

  This has taken a hilarious turn!  Leave Cap (and his wife which is not me) out of it.  I got enough to deal with.   

But please quote the insult, rude remarks and the personal attacks.  I repeated a word (which our ever-so-wonderful mod has asked me to remove) used by a poster.  That is all.  If someone (YOU) wishes to belittle a vital and natural part of womanhood, don't be surprised if someone (ME) who was born of a woman takes offense and reads them (YOU) the riot act.  Simple!  

I am not a supporter of Tinubu or his wife; I responded to what caught my eye.  Take it however you wish.

You continue to display a disturbing level of close-mindedness.  Assumptions about the nature of people from my part of the world.  lol.  Actually, I am proudly from Isalegangan, a stone's throw from Governor Fashola's family compound.  Is Fashola good enough to run Lagos and address you, or not, considering he is from "Isale Eko"?

I reiterate my points in my earlier post above.  Feel free to refute any of them.  Read about the Kennedys and get some knowledge about Hilary Clinton and come back to me.  

BTW, Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Rep Nancy Pelosi was a housewife - stayed home and raised a gaggle of kids.  You think she should go back to the kitchen?  I didn't think so!  

But I will ignore your posts in teh future, if I remember you.  

2muchlogic:
Draw parallels between a former housewife and full-time professional lady like Hilary or between Princeton and Ife which one? 

2muchlogic:
Are you comparing the Tinubu's with the Kennedy's? have fun  

Hillary is a world class Lawyer who met bill at princeton (an Ivy league university), they both participated in a political career.  She did not cook egusi soup and eba for 10 years then wake up and say she wanted to be a politician.

aribisala0:
such titles is a residual embarassing habit of yorubas. inane and vacuous. people in public service do not need this.
it is embarassing that people who went to school are advocating this.
. . . no wonder some people call us monkeys
yorubaland ko africa ni

You guys are so full of self-hate, I sure hope you're at least married to non-blacks so that when you look at your children, they don't have that Africanness that you obviously hate so much.

To the Einstein that complained about a housewife being home cooking for her family, you don't eat? You don't have a clue about the value a good wife and mother contributes to the world?  You don't understand the value of women at all!  So, she's home cooking "egusi soup"? That's worse than Hilary cleaning up after Bill every time he sexually harasses an employee or molests an intern?  Tell me one case that HIlary litigated that makes her "a world-class lawyer."  There is your warped mentality - always valuing anything OTHER THAN your own.  If it's from Oyinbo land it's better!  I'd comment more but I think you two and many like you are you far gone to even see the error of your ways.  Just ready to kiss the white man's backside anywhere and anytime.

You want to hold up the Kennedys?  Read about them first, then come back with your tail between your legs.

Yes, your much-revered queen does confer titles.  The titles that's being discussed here are not hereditary either.  If it was, the Aare Ona Kakanfo would have passed onto one of Abiola's heirs, and it didn't, did it?

If it offends you so much that Africans are discussing African issues, then stay out so you don't die of embarrassment.

AjanleKoko:
Are you reading them just for the first time?

Wolfdogman,
E n wa'ja o.  And I mean, you are looking for my trouble. lol.  No, I read one of them when I was a pre-teen.  Can't remember which - I think it was Igbo Olodumare sha. 

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=590933.msg8467677#msg8467677 date=1307391001]Start with Igbo Olodumare. Are they new copies? where did you buy them?

go 4, 2, 3, 1[/quote]E se.  A du'pe o, my AA brother. 

I know we previously talked about Fagunwa's books, a number of times - one of the reasons I wanted to get my hands on them. 

Believe it or not, they actually are unused copies.  

They were puchased in Lagos and sent to me.  And, NO, Kilode, you can't have them when I'm done!   

naijababe:
Women 

Hey there, Mister!  Me love you long time. Not!


Literature Galore!
I have 4 books in hand, and need help deciding which one to read first.  Can someone other than Naijababedude please help me pick?  I'll do a synopsis of the book on this here thread when I'm done. 

1) Aditu Olodumare, 2) Ireke-Onibudo, 3) Irinkerindo Ninu, 4) Igbo olodumare, all by D.O. Fagunwa.

E se o. 

OAM4J:
hmnnnn, noted!

       

Jarus:
I beg to disagree with this group. Tinubu IMO is not 'omoluabi' enough to be the Yoruba leader [/b]compared to past Yoruba leaders: Awolowo - Ajasin - Adesanya. [b]Obasanjo was in a prime position to take this but he messed up his chance. I don't know any Yoruba leader that satisfies this statesmanly condition today.

For crying out loud, Jarus!  When was Obasanjo ever in the prime position to take a far-reaching traditional title that extends over all of Yorubaland?  They're discussing Tinubu and you're mentioning that creature!  From frypan to fire. 

But being an indisputable warrior, I think he is qualified for Aare Ona Kakanfo(Generalissimo) of Yorubaland, a position previously held by Akintola and Abiola(which has place in Yoruba tradition more than the former anyway).

Obasanjo or Tinubu?     

DEEHASAL:
General Adekunle(rtd) has been given the title and I am not sure Tinubu will be interested in such titles.

(Benjamin) Adekunle is not a full general, and cannot be referred to as such; he retired a Brigadier-General, more often addressed as a "Brigadier."  Being from Ogbomosho, he was awarded a traditional title in Oyo state a couple of years ago.
P.S. I can't remember Adekunle's title. It may have been Ashipa of Ogbomosho, but I don't believe it was Aare Ona Kakanfo. In any case, I certainly would prefer someone like him than Obasanjo for such a title.

Katsumoto:
Why is it unnecessary? I am just happy that my brethren are doing great things in football and Tennis. We don't like Alonso by the way.

You are also a Spaniard?!  Listen up, y'all!  Katsumoto is a Japanese/Bini/Afghani man Spaniard senor.  Anyway, your temporary elation is interfering with your usual discretionary sensibilities. 

Don King of Nairaland   

  I don't want a fight.  Just amusement.

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=590933.msg8464876#msg8464876 date=1307366893]^^ HA!, I'm good sis, the threads you started are positive enough, our future lies somewhere in our past. [/quote]Nicely put.  Yes o.  If you don't know your past, you might be innovative and even revolutionary, BUT, does it relate to your environment.  Any new development will surely fail in the long-term if it does not connect with the history and culture of the people.

BTW, I typed a nice reply to Katsumoto's unecessary outburst of "spanish joy" yesterday. I had a few "unpostable" words in it, so I deleted it. I don't want to traumatize our Spanish "friends of Nigeria"

I respectfully DEMAND that you post it, especially the "unpostable words"!  Our Espanol-speaking amigos will understand it is directed at one Japanese/Bini/Afghani man. 

This is a forward looking thread about Nigeria-Africa-->  https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-683346.0.html 

No.  No, it's not.  At all.  It's a self-loathing thread with some of the usual suspects. You kidding me?   

Anyway, Kilode.  You be Ekiti man or Ogbomosho man?  Or is that a secret?  I understand you might actually be an AA brother. 

blacksta:
thread ruined by Musiwa  - na wa oooo - i am very sure Seun is tired of this chap 

This "Musiwa. ." with 2 dots isn't the Musiwa/Matemate/Becomerich of old, is he?  Never seen that one be anywhere close to being coherent.  The writing style is so different, even the words and phrases.

This was overheard while I was minding my own business: "OAM4J sucks!  Pass it on."

Kilode,
I'm worried about you.  I think it's about time I start a forward-looking thread about our beloved continent, just for you. 

Patrice Lumumba
The First Prime Minister of the Congo (Zaire)
On June 30, 1960, Independence Day

Men and women of the Congo,

Victorious fighters for independence, today victorious, I greet you in the name of the Congolese Government. All of you, my friends, who have fought tirelessly at our sides, I ask you to make this June 30, 1960, an illustrious date that you will keep indelibly engraved in your hearts, a date of significance of which you will teach to your children, so that they will make known to their sons and to their grandchildren the glorious history of our fight for liberty.

For this independence of the Congo, even as it is celebrated today with Belgium, a friendly country with whom we deal as equal to equal, no Congolese worthy of the name will ever be able to forget that is was by fighting that it has been won [applause], a day-to-day fight, an ardent and idealistic fight, a fight in which we were spared neither privation nor suffering, and for which we gave our strength and our blood.

We are proud of this struggle, of tears, of fire, and of blood, to the depths of our being, for it was a noble and just struggle, and indispensable to put an end to the humiliating slavery which was imposed upon us by force.

This was our fate for eighty years of a colonial regime; our wounds are too fresh and too painful still for us to drive them from our memory. We have known harassing work, exacted in exchange for salaries which did not permit us to eat enough to drive away hunger, or to clothe ourselves, or to house ourselves decently, or to raise our children as creatures dear to us.

We have known ironies, insults, blows that we endured morning, noon, and evening, because we are Negroes. Who will forget that to a black one said "tu", certainly not as to a friend, but because the more honorable "vous" was reserved for whites alone?

We have seen our lands seized in the name of allegedly legal laws which in fact recognized only that might is right.

We have seen that the law was not the same for a white and for a black, accommodating for the first, cruel and inhuman for the other.

We have witnessed atrocious sufferings of those condemned for their political opinions or religious beliefs; exiled in their own country, their fate truly worse than death itself.

We have seen that in the towns there were magnificent houses for the whites and crumbling shanties for the blacks, that a black was not admitted in the motion-picture houses, in the restaurants, in the stores of the Europeans; that a black traveled in the holds, at the feet of the whites in their luxury cabins.

Who will ever forget the massacres where so many of our brothers perished, the cells into which those who refused to submit to a regime of oppression and exploitation were thrown [applause]?

All that, my brothers, we have endured.

But we, whom the vote of your elected representatives have given the right to direct our dear country, we who have suffered in our body and in our heart from colonial oppression, we tell you very loud, all that is henceforth ended.

The Republic of the Congo has been proclaimed, and our country is now in the hands of its own children.

Together, my brothers, my sisters, we are going to begin a new struggle, a sublime struggle, which will lead our country to peace, prosperity, and greatness.

Together, we are going to establish social justice and make sure everyone has just remuneration for his labor [applause].

We are going to show the world what the black man can do when he works in freedom, and we are going to make of the Congo the center of the sun's radiance for all of Africa.

We are going to keep watch over the lands of our country so that they truly profit her children. We are going to restore ancient laws and make new ones which will be just and noble.

We are going to put an end to suppression of free thought and see to it that all our citizens enjoy to the full the fundamental liberties foreseen in the Declaration of the Rights of Man [applause].

We are going to do away with all discrimination of every variety and assure for each and all the position to which human dignity, work, and dedication entitles him.

We are going to rule not by the peace of guns and bayonets but by a peace of the heart and the will [applause].

And for all that, dear fellow countrymen, be sure that we will count not only on our enormous strength and immense riches but on the assistance of numerous foreign countries whose collaboration we will accept if it is offered freely and with no attempt to impose on us an alien culture of no matter what nature [applause].

In this domain, Belgium, at last accepting the flow of history, has not tried to oppose our independence and is ready to give us their aid and their friendship, and a treaty has just been signed between our two countries, equal and independent. On our side, while we stay vigilant, we shall respect our obligations, given freely.

Thus, in the interior and the exterior, the new Congo, our dear Republic that my government will create, will be a rich, free, and prosperous country. But so that we will reach this aim without delay, I ask all of you, legislators and citizens, to help me with all your strength.

I ask all of you to forget your tribal quarrels. They exhaust us. They risk making us despised abroad.

I ask the parliamentary minority to help my Government through a constructive opposition and to limit themselves strictly to legal and democratic channels.

I ask all of you not to shrink before any sacrifice in order to achieve the success of our huge undertaking.

In conclusion, I ask you unconditionally to respect the life and the property of your fellow citizens and of foreigners living in our country. If the conduct of these foreigners leaves something to be desired, our justice will be prompt in expelling them from the territory of the Republic; if, on the contrary, their conduct is good, they must be left in peace, for they also are working for our country's prosperity.

The Congo's independence marks a decisive step towards the liberation of the entire African continent [applause].

Sire, Excellencies, Mesdames, Messieurs, my dear fellow countrymen, my brothers of race, my brothers of struggle-- this is what I wanted to tell you in the name of the Government on this magnificent day of our complete independence.

Our government, strong, national, popular, will be the health of our country.

I call on all Congolese citizens, men, women and children, to set themselves resolutely to the task of creating a prosperous national economy which will assure our economic independence.

Glory to the fighters for national liberation!

Long live independence and African unity!

Long live the independent and sovereign Congo!

[applause, long and loud]

Media converage of the speech and aftermath:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/1960/jul/01/congo
Marred: It might have been guessed that the launching of the new Republic of Congo would prove a stormy affair after all the angry preliminaries of the last few weeks. Certainly all who guessed this were not disappointed
,  . . though unscheduled, M. Lumumba decided to make one of his own. It was this speech which caused tempers to rise. He spoke many times of "the struggle" against colonisation, "an indispensable struggle to put an end to the humiliating slavery which was imposed on us by force."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2000/aug/10/martinkettle
President 'ordered murder' of Congo leader
Forty years after the murder of the Congolese independence leader Patrice Lumumba, evidence has emerged in Washington that President Dwight Eisenhower directly ordered the CIA to "eliminate" him.
The evidence comes in a previously unpublished 1975 interview with the minute-taker at an August 1960 White House meeting of Eisenhower and his national security advisers on the Congo crisis.

Africa: a continent drenched in the blood of revolutionary heroes
Between 1961 and 1973, six African independence leaders were assassinated by their ex-colonial rulers, including Patrice Lumumba of Congo, who was killed 50 years ago today


Patrice Lumumba's Last Letter
Written to His Wife Pauline Just Before His Death
in December 1960

My dear companion,

I write you these words without knowing if they will reach you, when they will reach you, or if I will still be living when you read them. All during the length of my fight for the independence of my country, I have never doubted for a single instant the final triumph of the sacred cause to which my companions and myself have consecrated our lives. But what we wish for our country, its right to an honorable life, to a spotless dignity, to an independence without restrictions, Belgian colonialism and its Western allies-who have found direct and indirect support, deliberate and not deliberate among certain high officials of the United Nations, this organization in which we placed all our confidence when we called for their assistance-have not wished it.

They have corrupted certain of our fellow countrymen, they have contributed to distorting the truth and our enemies, that they will rise up like a single person to say no to a degrading and shameful colonialism and to reassume their dignity under a pure sun.

We are not alone. Africa, Asia, and free and liberated people from every corner of the world will always be found at the side of the Congolese. They will not abandon the light until the day comes when there are no more colonizers and their mercenaries in our country. To my children whom I leave and whom perhaps I will see no more, I wish that they be told that the future of the Congo is beautiful and that it expects for each Congolese, to accomplish the sacred task of reconstruction of our independence and our sovereignty; for without dignity there is no liberty, without justice there is no dignity, and without independence there are no free men.

No brutality, mistreatment, or torture has ever forced me to ask for grace, for I prefer to die with my head high, my faith steadfast, and my confidence profound in the destiny of my country, rather than to live in submission and scorn of sacred principles. History will one day have its say, but it will not be the history that Brussels, Paris, Washington or the United Nations will teach, but that which they will teach in the countries emancipated from colonialism and its puppets. Africa will write its own history, and it will be, to the north and to the south of the Sahara, a history of glory and dignity.

Do not weep for me, my dear companion. I know that my country, which suffers so much, will know how to defend its independence and its liberty. Long live the Congo! Long live Africa!

Patrice

Aretha doing it live.  Love her hair, and the outfit (even though a little more Asian than African).  Oh well.  The Black is beautiful time.

My message about Sango finally materialised.  Please read entire post here:

[quote author=isale_gan2 link=topic=590933.msg8417671#msg8417671 date=1306722954]. . . Another myth makes Shango the son of Obatala, and married to the three river goddesses Oya, Oshun, and Oba, but reigning as an earthly king at Oyo. The story relates that one day Shango obtained from his father Obatala a powerful charm, which, when eaten, would enable him to vanquish all who opposed him. Shango ate most of the medicament, and then gave the rest to Oya to keep for him; but she, as soon as his back was turned, ate the rest herself. Next morning the chiefs and elders assembled at the palace as usual, to judge the affairs of the people, and each spoke in his turn; but when it came to Shango's turn to speak, flames burst forth from his mouth, and all fled in terror. Oya, too, when she began to scold ber women in the palace, similarly belched forth flames, so that everybody ran away, and the palace was deserted. Shango now saw that he was, as a god, inferior to none; so calling his three wives to him, and taking in his hand a long iron-chain, he stamped on the earth till it opened under him, and descended into it with his wives. The earth closed again over them, after they had gone down, but the end of the chain was left protruding from the ground.

. . . Since his descent into the earth with his three wives at Oyo, Shango has often come back to the world. One day, when down in the earth, he quarrelled with Oya, who had stolen some of his "medicines;" and she, terrified at his violence, ran away, and took refuge with her brother the Sea-God (Olokun). As soon as Shango discovered where she had gone, he swore a great oath to beat her so that she would never forget it. Next morning he came up from below with the Sun, and, following him in his course all the day, arrived with him in the evening at the place where the sea and sky join, and so descended with him into the territories of his brother Olokun. The Sun had not knowingly shown Shango the road across the sky to Olokun's palace, for Shango had been careful to keep behind him all the time, nearly out of sight, and to hide when the Sun looked round.

When Shango reached Olokun's palace and saw his wife Oya there, he made a great noise and commotion. He rushed towards her to seize her, but Olokun held him; and while the two were struggling together Oya escaped, and ran to bide with her sister Olosa (the Lagoon). When Olokun saw that Oya had gone he released Shango, who, now more furious than ever, ran after his wife cursing and threatening her. In his rage he tore up the trees by their roots, as he ran along, tossing them here and there. Oya, looking out from her sister's house, saw him coming along the banks of the lagoon, and, knowing that Olosa could not protect her, ran out again, and fled along the shores towards the place where the Sun goes down. As she was running, and Shango coming behind, roaring and yelling, she saw a house near at hand, and, rushing into it, claimed protection of a man whom she found there, whose name was Huisi. She begged Huisi to defend her. Huisi asked what he, a man, could do against Shango; but Oya gave him to eat of the "medicines" she had stolen from her husband, and he, being thus made an orisha, promised to protect her. As Shango approached, Huisi ran from his house down to the banks of the lagoon, and tearing up a large tree by the roots, brandished it in the air, and defied Shango. There being no other tree there, Shango seized Huisi's canoe, shook it like a club, and the two weapons, striking together, were shattered to pieces. Then the two oiishas wrestled together. Flames burst from their mouths, and their feet tore great fissures in the earth as they dragged each other to and fro. This struggle lasted a long time without either being able to gain the mastery, and at last Shango, filled with fury at being baffled, and feeling his strength failing, stamped on the earth, which opened under him, and he descended into it, dragging Huisi down with him. At the commencement of the combat, Oya had fled to Lokoro;[1] she remained there, and the people built a temple in her honour. Huisi, who had become a god by virtue of the "medicine" he had eaten, also had a temple erected in his honour, on the spot where he had fought with Shango.

In this myth Oya steals the medicine and gives it to Huisi; in the former one she also stole it, but ate it herself. In each case it caused flames to burst from the mouth.[/quote]
