There is an order to the seat of Olubadan!

I like it. Maybe.

But the new Kabiyesi sounds like a man of integrity. We'll know more. . .

so other Igbos that support her are brainwashed tribalistic fool...yu could have made your statement without that foolish line.
op go and check ethnic, racial and tribalistic section, that's where your threads normally end up @ d dustbin.

Your post is addressed to another commenter, but I want to say that my anti-Iweala post up top is not motivated by tribalism. You can check my post history on Nairaland. When I referred to people supporting corrupt individuals, I wasn't just talking about NOI and those who may support her; I meant to say I am befuddled why anyone would throw their support behind any corrupt person because of some spurious ethnic affiliation.

no it first died when Nzeogwu-led igbo-officers coup brutally killed number one and number 3 citizens of this country but number 2 miraculously "escaped" thru basement. gosh I hate being drawn on these issues, I'm actually not concerned by what u wrote, I only think if we're gonna take sides, let's make sure we always ask "why" things happen. like "why is the rest of the country sidelining us when it comes to presidency despite that we got there first, and Ironsi too?" ifeajuna came to my Alma mater UI, the whole country adored him in his Olympic days, remember? ..until that coup. it started everything. then gowon came with a counter-coup(but that's the only thing igbo writers usually remember tho). don't always point fingers preaching same hate stories when u know u're grossly oblivious to the truth. this our generation have a task of bringing everyone even closer, to a round table, and deliberate heart-to-heart on how we can coexist without all these prejudice (I am still driven towards this and it MUST happen). I served in the east, truthfully things need to be better than it is but definitely not by listening to terrorists and "selfish saviours". this is 2016, if our fathers and grandparents tell us tales, let's ve ri fy....let's read..gosh I'm so pained.

This! It's a fact that the coup derailed this country towards a tragic and long-suffering course. And, I'm no (tribe) hater.

zubbyenebeli:
Its unethical for an oba to leave his throne,visiting a none oba,its an insult to his empire.

I'm not sure of the protocol for such, but you might be right. What is the reason for him even going there, other than the dude is a multi-millionaire? I just have respect that throne so I

Fire away Mayor! Iweala is a lootocratic, incompetent ineffectual Buffon who supervised the stealing of billions of dollars! Funny how[b] she was forming sick at the senate hearing trying to pretend and when called out, tried to lie her way around it![/b]

Remember a couple of years ago when a reporter tried to interview her on the phone and she pretended the line was faulty and hung up, in an attempt to avoid answering tough questions? She's a deceitful, shameless and venal creature who will sell us out to her paymasters at the IMF. A picture of her getting a hug from some neocolonialist warms her cold dead heart more than a starving African getting something to eat.

I don't understand why Nigerians will support an overpaid overrated corrupt soulless creature simply because he or she is from their tribe. What is wrong with people? Wake up!

[size=16pt]Who occupies an equivalent position to that of Ooni of Ife in Igboland?[/size]

Why always antagonising the Easterners?

That's a lotta phones! Though, in this case, I don't think he's showing off. It's the nature of the job. He's probably afraid to lose his contacts, so he keeps all his old numbers. "Yahooze"? Hmm.

BTW, I recognise one or two of those phones. Definitely the little Nokia on the extreme left used to be one I used till last year for some time.

smithsydny:
if thunder no fire ehhhhh Idiot op.. gerarahere menh fool forever

LOL. Boys are not smiling oh! It seems like sufferhead and record-level unemployment has cynicalised many Naija folks. Only some of the female, and a few of the male, monikers seem to be advising against following the "easy money" with the potential father-in-law.

From the First-to-Comment, thread is humourous, but I think the guy knows what he wants and doesn't want. At least, he THINKS he does. Come back in 2 years time, OP. Grazie!

Goldenboy007:
Mr Nollywoood , as at Jan 23, 2016 you were unemployed and wanted to go for a marketing job interview(your previous post). So when did you get the fantastic job you are talking about ? Except you wanna prove to us how there are 7 months between Jan 23 and Feb

dearie dont go for wealth,it can vanish,dont go for looks,it fades, go for someone you love and follow your heart,cos at the end its about you not them. your ego is more important,tomorrow you'll be priced low. use your head!

What does this mean? Seriously, it goes one way and then another. Ego? Priced low? No offense!

Just seeing this for the first time. What's the status? Are his sights restored? Will he be undergoing surgery for such? How do we donate? Thanks.

I'm sorry I can't read the whole thread. I just read the first two posts and saw the pictures and can't stop crying. Please update and let us know if anything else is needed and how we donate. Blessings.

Very hard. Very sad. Oh dear lawd. One year already. I can never forget this young man.

tonychristopher:
I am still here but I find it hard to have a meaningful conversation due to how the forum has degenerated to an infantile thing ...one can't even have a decent convo again..it is either they ban you or you get insulted by these kids

To be frank I am thinking of deactivating my account sometime I just read post

People rarely make informed and empirical statement ..now the igbo also have been on edge

I think suen is killing this forum slowly

Agreed. The dude deserves whatever befalls this site. Did you see what he did to Aareonakakanfo's 300-page thread? Whether you like Aare or not, he did a great job and simply was not experienced enough with NL dirty tricks to know his thread would have been safer in the Culture or General section where another moderator first moved it. But what was ultimately done in order to wrest control from the OP was so unnecessary - - using Mynd to do his dirty work. Like Fayose like Mynd. Doggone Ekiti gangsters.

Actually, reading the above story elsewhere is what made me checkout what's the trending Naijiriya news on Nairaland in almost a month. Looks like many old-timers are staying away for long periods too.

9jacrip:
You're pissed? Why are you all up in your feelings? Daddy Adeboye? Pride?

Did you read your own post before hitting submit?

To rub it in for you, his own father prostrate and sit on the floor to talk to him.

Here's a picture of Onipopo of Popo from Dahomey who is obviously way older than Ogunwusi but tradition is tradition - learn it.

Wow! Onipopo is regal despite the humble posture. I love to see all the Yoruba Obas connected, especially the Yorubas outside Naijiriya. Omo Oodua till infinity!

This is East Stand. We used to call it Family Stand. lol

Mr Peter, make una step up. The super rich are in West Stand. 4th floor in particular.


I was part of the Bridge's hospitality team when I was new and struggling in London. I only have pictures with footballers to show for it. No money oo

Hmmmmm. Dem days. We thank God sha




Jill Dawson, I still love you

hehehehehehe. "Things you didn't know about Double Ola."

The soldiers should be punished for that, if it really happened. And Buhari should be more cautious making statements that give idiots/soldiers more nerve to harass innocent people.

I don't find the source credible. They also have a story about a "191 year-old woman."

Finding out Bilal is considered a Shia by some has led me to continue my small personal research about the reason for the enmity for Shias on the part of some Muslims. I don't get expressed feelings from Sunnis I talk to that they hate Shias but the "official" outlook seems to be unfavorable to them. I know there was a time even I wasn't sure what to think of them and almost got into a tiff with a wonderful Shia (who later became one of my most admired posters on NL) in Islam section. Just as I now also know better than to look unfavourably at NOI because many considered them inauthentic Muslims, innovative, etc.

So, what do you find is the reason for the mistreatment and oppression of Shias even in our dear country? I really commend for standing up to the whole world in this matter.


BTW, I noticed you mentioned Dr. Umar Abdullahi's work and some issues with his detractors. That was someone whose videos I had posted a few times in older posts and now have renewed interest in what he's been doing. Another person you might like is T. West of Afrisynergy; he did a lot during the persecution of Gaddafi and invasion of Lybia. I believe T. West/Afrisynergy had some problems with YouTube when they deleted his account in an attempt to silence him. But he succeeded in maintaining his channel.

gatiano:
Awon Ebi e pigeon. May their Ori ask you until you know how to talk or chat.

Don't mind them. Awon omo alaileko. It's one thing to politely disagree but they love to throw insults when they cannot defend their position. SMH. A lot of forward thinking posters have to deal with that here. I don't agree with everything you say but I certainly appreciate that you come in peace and with good intentions. More grease to your elbow.

E ku odun tuntun.

gatiano:
I'd love people to take a look at this devil pat robinson, a protestant.
He claimed the haitian earthquake was caused by a pact the haitians made years ago with the devil to liberate themselves from the evil of slavery, which means, the haitian should not have liberated themselves from slavery, they should have lied down docile to be experimented with. And more in the video claiming to help Africans.

Devilish missionaries yesterday, they are much worse today.

scholar8200, the video above answers all your questions.

Pat Robertson has always been a scumbag hypocrite. Similar to Jerry Falwell he supported South Africa when most people were opposing their apartheid policy.

Broda Gatiano, mo juba fun yin o. You really try with these NLers but our people are so blinded with colonial mentality. It takes a lot of heart and strength to push forward and not give up on them the way they throw insult and fight against their own mental liberation.

BTW, I have a follow up question about a previous discussion: I will go to the Bilal thread to ask it. Shukran!

One more thing, about King Leopold and the Belgian atrocities in Congo/Zaire, I believe that it was (my hero) Patrice Lumumba's strong independence day address in the presence of Leopold III's son, King Boudewijn in 1960 that sealed his faith as someone they were going to assassinate. The Belgians were angered by a Black man having the effrontery to speak so strongly in the presence of their hereditary king who was reported to be visibly offended. These people always thought of Africans as monkeys.

Good thread, Chucky! But PMB better watch it. I've been lukewarm on Fashola and his AG ever since they allowed hijab to be banned in Lagos schools. Though I'm not fully Hijabi (our house wasn't like that - Lagosian/Yoruba Muslims, ya know ), I support anyone's rights to fulfill the requirements of their religion.

Some of these abayas can land you in hot water in parts of Sudan, Pakistan or even Dubai oo! Don't even talk of Saudi Arabia.

Nice. Who are the other people? Lasisi looks nothing like I imagined. Similar to what I thought about Yuzedo's looks and his online persona.

Saxywale, You seem to have a lot of inside info about Ile-Ife royals. I will assume you are one.

I'm curious. Is it a fact that when Ife people speak their true Yoruba dialect, it is impossible for other Yorubas (Omo Eko Lagosians) to understand?

Kagarko:
At-tahniq is the process of feeding the new born with chewed or grinded debt nut.

What's a "debt nut"? Do you mean "dates"? Shukran.

And, OP, thanks for the thread!

Stil, I like Le Arse better than the other (formerly) BIG 3'sha. ManU, Chelski, Scousers.

onoja12:
this is laughable, a traditional ruler, the head of African tradition doing thanks given for becoming the head to another religion on its own. i wonder when the pope would come to honor the Gods. black people and slave mentality.

Thank you! Is his lineage from that of Abraham or Moses? Is it not enough to be a living embodiment of Oduduwa and the bloodline of great kings and their ancestors? Some things are so clearly not as they should be but we continue to bite our tongue and keep our own counsel. For how long? Lemme just say, I have concerns. This nonsense is too prevalent amongst African kings. In the very near future. I hope an inability or unwillingness to swear to and uphold our culture and the tradition of his forebears would disqualify potential candidates. . .

Whatever happens, the throne is greater than any one Kabiyesi.
