However, let me help you out of this foolish zone you made your abode.

Mohammed Yusuf was arrested by Yar'adua's govt.
He was killed extra-judicially under Yar'adua. YARADUA IS AN HAUSA MAN.

Audrey and Marygold, I trust everything will work out for you.

Where is my bro, GenBuhari? I have to read back to page 31 to fully catchup on thread developments.

Vikin: I decided to opt for induced labour as I got to my due date, I don't want the baby adding more weight in me.

Baby arrived at 10pm on 27 th after 14hrs of induced labour, thank my God for epidural if not, hmmmmm....I don't even know what to say.

Anyway, . She is so adorable . It was all worth the stress.

Wish everyone continuous stress free pregnancy weeks.. Am doing a tutorial now on breast feeding , bathing, changing diapers etc

Thanks all for your prayers and best wishes

Vikin, Congratulations to you!

I have a question about induction. A friend told me it is a worse experience than prolonged labor. She's had multiple children, so has experienced different birthing challenges.

She said they give you a drip that is supposed to hasten contractions, but the problem is that the contractions are unrelenting! For example, she said, let's say a normal contraction is like "tap stop tap stop," induced labor contractions are like "TAP TAP TAP TAP," and your body and your muscles are seizing up and just a much worse experience than simply waiting out your labor. I don't have any opinions on this; I simply wonder what your experience was like. Of course, if this is your first delivery, you might not be able to compare. Thanks.


Please, I also would like feedback and suggestions based on personal experiences, for a very good maternity hospital, private or public, in Lagos Island that you would highly recommend for Caesarian section procedure. Thanks.

Best wishes to all expectant mothers.

I think the civil engineers in our midst have answered the concern: It is supposed to!

Oh, another breaking news! Skyscrapers also "sway." All these humongous structures must have some flexibility, hence the swaying. I worked for years on the top floor of a 50-story building, and were told by the architect and developer that all tall buildings are built to withstand the frequent tornadoes we get in this part of the world. Glad I don't live in Chicago though.

Rabies?

This is interesting. The title is so similar to the one referred by Kilode?!, I had to read thouroughly to make sure I didn't confuse them. Reading it, I wonder if the word 'witch' conveys the proper message of the Odu, therefore I will find a site with Yoruba renderings of the original odus. Who knows how many other words may have lost their meaning along the way. . .

Meanwhile, here is an excerpt:



Odu Ifa

Osa Meji

II II
I I
I I
I I

In the fixed order of Orunmila, Osa-Meji occupies the tenth position.

The esoteric representation of Osa Meji is a female face surrounded by a lunar crescent and a sky filled with stars which symbolizes the secrets of female power. It is an image of women's secret societies.
Power of Aje (Witches)
Physical body element = Female Organs
Children would be disposed to be Aviators
Child born to the deepest of Mothers
In Osa your best friend can be your worst enemy
Inclined to guess things without learning
Mind hustler -- Constantly running
Knowing how to pull people to the left
Osa denotes prospect of many children and plenty of riches.
Stakeless river, seven pines, wings in the night.
First to be reverenced, definitely should be one's elders.

Kasaka ja-Katitisa divined for Eji-Osa, Eji-Osa was going to Ife on scientific research, they say he would be horrified by something which could prevent him from carrying out his project. For this reason he should sacrifice:- A ram and a thunderbolt. He refused. When he got to Ife, a fight ensued. They tried to fight back but could not. They had to run. From this day they were called Osameji.

Osa-Meji made divination for the white man when he was coming to the world. The white man was advised to make sacrifice in order to be able to create, invent, develop, achieve great heights and command universal honor and respect. He made the sacrifice.

When a woman called Ogodo yaya was leaving heaven, she went to the same Awo's to make divination for her in order to be able to have a child who will change the course of events in the world. She was advised to make sacrifice... She made the sacrifice and came to the world. On getting to the world, she did not have children, so she went to the two Awos on earth called Ukporo bayi and Aila baaye. She was told to make sacrifice... She did the sacrifice after which she began to have children.
Later, she wanted to have more children and again went for divination. She was told to make sacrifice... After making the sacrifice a child was born with pale skin and curly hair. Afraid of the kind of child she had, she ran to the Awos who made divination for her to explain what it meant. They told her that since she left heaven with a wish to give birth to a child who would alter the face of the earth, her wishes had manifested and she was told that the child was going to begin a new generation of white men on earth. That is how the white race came into existence.

The ubiquitous wanderer, or wind, who does what he likes and means what he does, was the nickname of Osa-Meji. . .

[quote author=Kilode?!]Isale, o ga o! Ki la gbe?! Kileru?

Your imagination may be ahead of you on this one, but who am I to reject good tidings?

I think Odu Ose Meji addressed this already, so who am I to reject children, especially when prophesied by awon Iya mi.

Ire o, Ase Edumare![/quote]De-nah-i-yaaaal!

I do thank you for the odu. Very enlightening.



Odu Ifa

Ose Meji

II II

In the fixed order of Orunmila, Ose-Meji occupies the fifteenth position.

The esoteric representation of Ose-Meji is the cressent moon which symbolizes female fertility. It is an image of female creativity
Advise to look for money with caution and discretion so that money might not destroy one.
Physical body elements = Breasts and bladder
Children would be disposed to be Spiritualists or reformers.
All that decays and dissolves into its consitutive elements.
Surrender, flight and loss
The Wrestler --- Credulous

This Odu denotes plenty of children, victory over enemies and plenty of good fortune.
Person is destined to assume priestly responsibilities
Person is destined to take a position of honors and responsibility within their chosen profession
Orunmila learned mysteries of abundance.
Osun is considered keeper of the mysteries of abundance.
Osun enticed Obatala for this secret and gave it to worshipers.
"I want, I want, I insist on broke me"
Desiring spiritual growth will lead to abundance.

https://www.cultural-expressions.com/ifa/odu/moonmove2.gif

Orunmila prophesied, it came to pass;
It came to pass Bara, Agbonniregun,
They asked what was it that was coming to pass?
He answered that it was the blessing of wealth foretold.

The Olodus, that is, the sixteen main apostles of Orunmila, were in the habit of going to the river to wash the signs of old age from their bodies. After each such bath, they often came out looking several years younger than their ages. At one of their weekly meetings, the sixteen Olodus agreed on the date they were to go to the river for their annual cleansing session.
On getting home from the conference. Ose-Meji invited one of his Awos called Gere Gere Shalu Gere, to make divination for him against the upcoming trip to the river. He was advised to offer sacrifice to Esu because of the benefits awaiting him at the river. He did the sacrifice without any delay.

On the appointed day, all sixteen Olodus assembled at the river and they began to have their dives into the river in order of seniority. Each of them was required to make three dives into the river. When it was the turn of Ose-Meji to dive, being the fifteenth Olodu, he dived the first time and came out of the river with a dried fish on the left hand and a fresh fish on the right hand. He made a second dive and emerged with a white cloth on his left hand and a black cloth on the right. In his third and final dive, he came out with 200 cowries on his left hand and beads on the right hand.
The other Olodus accused him of playing magic, but he declined saying that he did not know how to make divination, let alone magic.

On getting home he assembled all his surrogate Awos and told them to interpret his finds in the river. They told him that the fishes indicated that he would live long enough to enjoy all the good things of life. The cloth meant that he would live in peace and concord to the end of his life, which was going to be very long. The last finds meant that he was going to live a life of prosperity and abundance. He actually lived a full life and lived longer than any other Olodu on earth.

When our own handicraft suffices us reliance is never placed on theft. Theft can never suffice us, except our own honorable labor: This declares the Oracle to Agbonniregun (alias Orunmila) When he was set out from township to rural areas. He was warned that he would do marvelous acts of kindness, But that he would be repaid evil for good; But the Almighty God would requite him manifold. And all the deities would also repay him amply He saw a lame man, and he restored his limbs; The lame man failed to express any gratitude. Orunmila called him back And asked why he failed to be grateful. He saw an albino, touched his skin, The albino's skin became restores to normalcy. He saw a hunched back man, and touched his hunch; The hunch of his back dropped to the ground. He called back the man and asked why he was ungrateful. He found a woman laboring of child, He took care of her and she was delivered safely. He met people where somebody died of an illness; The deceased, borne in a coffin, was about to be buried, Orunmila stopped the concourse of mourners and raised the dead to life. They all acclaimed Orunmila, saying "All Hail to His Majesty ! " Orunmila got to another Place, There Death was intimidating someone, Orunmila began to sing as a challenge:

If I see Death I would crush him in a fight."
Woroji, woroji! wowo! (what a frightful scene to behold !)
If I catch sight of plague, I would worst him in combat;
Woroj, woroji! wowo! what a frightful scene to behold!)
Death fled away, In fear of Orunmila;
Plague took to flight to avoid Orunmila.

Quite apart from being a Deity who prophesied and worked miracles, ORUNMILA was also a DOCTOR and HEALER In addltlon to his qualities of being (a) KING (b) PRIEST (c) TEACHER and (d) DEITY. Also as teacher of mankind he was a LINGUIST.

Ase O!

The Commish better stay on his toes. This Nomination-followed-by-Voting long drawn out process gives his and serious contenders' detractors a great opportunity to get in their candidates thru the back door. . . No be me talk am sha.

BTW, how've you been getting on? Good? We thank God.
Have you decided on who to nominate?

I didn't wish to derail; just posting to respond to Da Ivy.

hmm. Putting the thread on home page is an invitation to all the jobless misfits on NL, instead of just the usual Politics section misfits, that is.

PointB: Eze Odumchi is the former Eze, as soon as new election is conducted. At the moment he is still the Eze.

At the bolded. Those who are qualified to be nominated also qualify to nominate.

Okay. I understand the Eligibility Rules. I have nothing to add. . . until Nomination ends and Voting commences.

May the best men reach the final stages.

Ciao!

alj harem: I enjoyed every bit of this thread since 2 days ago. You all are amazing

I never believe this Eze Ndigbo thing was taken very seriously by some Nwoke Igbo. That said, I think likes of Onlytruth and co should ponder on some of the words on this thread.

Dayokanu made a very important statement which every umu igbo should look at. He said "Should Odumchi comments on issues such as yoruba people are bathing with Oily soup rather than How to make meaningful progress in Alaigbo" I guess it all has to do with priorities.

From Odumchi post, he showed that he had bigger vision for Ndigbo, even greater than Mazi Onlytruth but as usual due to impatience and "gra gra" he was chased away.

I guessed this was what Ifyalways saw, I mean seeing grown men claiming to represent an ethnic group acting so childish and it actually made her angry or maybe she just wanted to have fun.

Now @ Odumchi, I nominate myself as the new Eze Ndigbo of Nairaland with Ogugua being my EzeNwanyi and Negro Ntns being my prime minister. I would also want likes of Ifyalways, Manny4life, Isale gan, Afam4eva, Berem and Onlytruth (spokesman) to be part of my team. The reason for this nomination is because in as much as others see me as bad, I actually started getting angry and felt a bit of pain on how online Igbos are acting. I believe I know what Ndigbo Nairaland want and I also know what the minorities want and can join them up properly if given the chance.

I love you like a brother, but, believing that this Eze Nairaland is actually a good thing and that NL Igbos have conducted themselves admirably despite some hiccups and detractors along the way, I must respectfully decline to work with that your ragtag disjointed (and trouble-making) team of advisers.


Okay, all joking aside, I am serious about wanting an effective and committed NL Eze. Let's proceed with the procedure. Thank you. Best of luck to the Nominees and contestants. Back to you, Commissioner PointB.

PointB: Umu Igbo,

It is sad and painful that Odumchi had to bow at this point. But I must not fail to acknowledge that he did complain to me about lacking support from us forming his cabinet. While not exonerating myself, I had advised that he openly nominate members cabinet members in threads or send them PMs as many may not be forth-coming with the email stuff. If this was done or not, I have no way of knowing. I also believe announcing even one or two people publicly as cabinet members would have helped him, and by extension - us, in no small measure. Many have sacrificed a lot to get to where we are, and we can't blame those who desire more from our Eze, even as we applaud those who pleaded for patience and more time.

But this is all in the past now, and we MUST pick up ourselves, chin-up and soldier on.

I do not intend to speak for all of us. But I believe, his desire to stand-in during this transition process is in order, and is very much welcome. Secondly, as he rightly noted, his resignation does not in anyway affect the Eze Nwanyi; her position remains intact.

In moving on we must look upon the constitution (despite it many obvious flaws) for guidance. For the sake of our the bye-election, it would suffice to use this respective constitutional provision regarding elections, as stated below:

[b]SECTION 1: NOMINATION RULES
The nomination rule’s primary objective is to ensure that ‘fit and proper’ Igbo are allowed to stand for election.
1.1 - An individual can nominate two forumers to contest against the incumbent Eze if:
a - Profiling of such forumer indicates s/he is a ‘fit and proper’ Igbo
b - Such forumer has been a registered and active poster at least three months prior to the election (an endorsement by 10 eligible forumers shall however suffice for a waiver)
c -Such forumer does not have pattern of denigrating our institution (Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland) or our people (Igbos of any state).
d. Such member is not under ban or suspension for infraction of rules or for unadulterated hatred against fellow Igbo
1.2 - An individual can be nominated for the role of Eze/Eze Nwayi if s/he satisfies the conditions above in addition to having a fairly good history of defending Igbo cause online.

1.3 - GROUNDS FOR DISQUALIFICATION

An individual will be DISQUALIFIED from standing for elective position if
a. He breaches any section of the Nomination Rule OR
b. Such individual has an opposition to his candidacy totaling not less than 1/3 of his/her total nominations.
c. Nominees who do not accept their nominations after the deadline determined by the electoral commissioner, SHALL be disqualified.
d. Where all nominees fail to accept their nomination, the incumbent shall be returned unopposed.

1.4 - DISQUALIFIED CANDIDATES CAN:
a. Appeal to Election Tribunal
b. Appeal to the Eze and his council as the final arbiter

1.5 - OTHERS
a. Nominations done with known multiple User IDs, shall not count
b. Two nominees to amass the highest nomination shall be polled alongside the incumbent Eze, subject to the outcome of any or all petitions against their candidacy.
1.6 ASSUMPTION
A basic assumption of the Nomination Rule is that an incumbent Eze exist at all times. Where an Eze does not exist (due to removal or other reasons) the Electoral Commissioner shall increase the number of candidates standing for election by one.[/b]


I would appeal that it is very important that conduct due diligence (profiling) before nominating any candidate. And due to time constraint, and the need to quickly fill any potential leadership void, a period of three (3) day (plus or minus one) depending on the event shall be allowed for nomination. A day shall be set aside for unfolding of manifestos (agendas, debates, campaign etc) leading to the election.

Umu Igbo, we have to move on. Let the nominations NOW formally proceed.

Commissioner PointB,

Will Odumchi be recorded as an Eze despite his short stint, or will the title revert back to the previous Eze while a new one is being searched? Remember when a Miss America was dethroned/resigned, they never mentioned her again, and only her runner up is now officially referred to as that year's Miss America. I hope you understand my point.

Who is eligible to nominate? It is clear above who is eligible to BE NOMINATED, but not clear who is eligible to DO THE NOMINATING. I don't want to waste my time.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]You mean to tell me that ex Eze Onlytruth was banned because of his contributions to this thread? I say na who ban am?[/quote]Chucky, Onlytruth did not deserve to be banned. I was typing up a reply to OAM4J (not the ban-ner) in the Complaints thread but lost it. I may respond to him in detail over there, if I have time.

https://www.nairaland.com/938835/lets-complaints-suggestions-enquiries-here/54#14428081

odumchi: Igbo ekelechaa m unu niile.

I would like to formally announce my intention to resign from the position of Eze Ndi Igbo Nairaland. I do not make this decision lightly nor do I do so with jest, but with serious consideration and contemplation. Before anyone decides to conjur otherwise, the events of the previous night are not what drew me make this decision. Rather, this decision was made as a result of several factors which I will explain in detail shortly. . .

. . . To tell you the truth, it has not been easy. These thirty eight days have been filled with worry, anxiety, and stress. . .

Odumchi, you made the right decision. You're young yet and will have many more opportunities to actualise your goals and make your mark.

I will nominate
- DonChris,
- 9ja I Hail, if he feels he has the time,
Other options are:
- Onlytruth, if he is eligible to hold the post in consecutive years,
- and Afam4eva, if he wants to try moderating, posting and EZE-ing all at the same time.


Edited, to add Odumchi's resignation post.

Dethrone who? For where? Odumchi? I love that kid! How dare you? He's only 17, you know. Brilliant boy man.

I voted for him o. (Not ogugua though, sorry.) No one's removing him without proper NL Eze constitional procedure. No way! Is there a constitution dealing with this? Never mind. We'll fight it out. I will fight any man/woman/attack dog that tries to harm a single hair on Odumchi. Yeah, I said it!

Time to send out a search party for Katsumoto oo. Hope you're well and just enjoying life, buddy.


PS: Maybe he's copying his BFF Kilode?!, and taking 2-3 month sabbaticals from NL now.
