| Literature › 50 Greatest Storytellers Of All Time by jared007(op): 12:05pm On May 20, 2017 |
Storytellers come in many different forms whether it's through music, writing or photos, and those in this top 50 are responsible for some of the greatest tales of all time. "Roald Dahl in particular may be well known for his words, but the images which accompanied many of his children's books have helped to paint the picture for children for generations. "As technology evolves, stories are now so much more than just the written word and people today have a variety of ways to tell their own story and make sure it lives on." The poll of 2,000 adults saw Roald Dahl take the top spot with a staggering 58 per cent of the vote. Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare, JK Rowling and Steven Spielberg completed the top five. The Little Mermaid author Hans Christian Andersen came sixth while Alice in Wonderland creator Lewis Carroll and Walt Disney followed close behind. The Famous Five writer Enid Blyton and Lord of the Rings author J.R.R Tolkien took the final slots of the top ten. Film-based stories have also led to directors and actors in the top 50 such as James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino and Morgan Freeman. Ridley Scott, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tom Hanks and George Lucas also feature. And authors feature heavily in the list with Beatrix Potter, AA Milne and George Orwell all within the top 50. More modern writers also made it into the list including children's authors David Walliams and Jacqueline Wilson, along with Twilight author Stephenie Meyer and Fifty Shades of Grey writer EL James. But it isn't just authors who feature with songwriters Adele, Ed Sheeran, Eminem and Prince also among the top storytellers. It also emerged that 56 per cent of people try to take as many photos as possible to allow them to tell their own story, with half saying they often upload their 'story' to social media.

CACAWA:it's a pity I didn't see this thread on time to educate u a little. I don't like comparing pastor chris and tb joshua becoz they are friends with different gifts. Pastor chris is the greatest teacher alive today while tb joshua is the greatest prophet alive. Pastor chris popularity dwindled a little after 2006 when he held d largest crusade ever in nigeria with over 3million people in attendance blocking the lagos - Ibadan expressway. Pastor had a clash with lagos govt becoz of dat programme and has not held any crusade since 2006 becoz there's no venue to contain the crowd. Pastors healing school tv programmes were banned by Nigerian govt becoz of envy of CAN and PFN. 1 Like |

| Politics › Group Slam Itsekiri Over Claim Of New Warri by jared007(op): 11:32am On May 11, 2017 |
WARRI—THE Ijaw People Development Initiative, IPDI, and Niger Delta Scholars, NDS, Warri, Delta State, have expressed concern over the recent claim by the Alpha-May Club, an Itsekiri organization, that the Itsekiri ethnic nationality owns New Warri, also known as Ogbe-Ijoh. National Coordinator of NDS, Chief Monday Keme, said, yesterday: “We are not surprised at this claim because it is the internal desire of Itsekiri to wipe away Ogbe-Ijoh from Warri leading to the famous Warri crises. “We do not want to be reminded of our unpleasant past. The three ethnic groups, Ijaw, Itsekiri and Urhobo, all know their boundaries in Warri South Local Government Area. We, therefore, call on men of conscience to rise and condemn comments capable of causing ethnic crisis in Warri and its environs. “For the records, ‘New Warri or Ogbe-Ijoh’ comprises two leases: B2 Volume one, dated 30/7/1906 (360 acres) and lease B5 Volume one, dated 15/7/1908 (180 acres) making a total of 540 acres and not 350 acres as claimed by the Itsekiri. “It must be added here for the course of subsequent history, that New Warri, known as Ogbe-Ijoh, belongs to the Ogbe-Ijoh people and the past and present leaders of Ogbe-Ijoh have exercised considerable rights over these parcels of land. The Warri Assessment report, 1927, Nigerian Civil Service List and Handbook of 1910 (page 27), land leased all confirmed Ogbe-Ijoh ownership of new Warri or Ogbe-Ijoh, including Chief Dore Numa’s letter to Ogbe-Ijoh people dated 1923,” the group said. Similarly, the Ijaw People Development Initiative, IPDI, in a statement by its National President, Austin Ozobo, said: “It is pertinent to note that the Itsekeri were visitors to Ijawland. This is a fact you cannot put under the carpet. “They were nursed and were given Adirimo, an Ijaw woman, from Ogulagha to raise the purported Itsekiri Kingdom. It will interest the public to note that Itsekiri did not own any area in Ogbe-Ijoh, Forcados and Escravos. The aforesaid places are ancient Ijaw settlements. No Itsekiri settlement is found in Forcados, Ogbe-Ijoh and Escravos in Delta State. “The era of parading with pirated or falsified document is over. How can a man who visited Ijaw at Amatu and Orueselemo and squatted for several decades turn to own such lands?. ”http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/groups-slam-itsekiri-claim-new-warri/ Cc lalasticlala |

Hi fratermathy, greetings to u. I ve been reading ur articles both on this forum and Facebook concerning the projection, defence, love and unity of the urhobos. For this I say well done. Do not let anyone bully u into accepting less or make the urhobos feel inferior among other ethnic groups. Now concerning urhobos robust population in nigeria, I once read on newspaper when the baale of ajegunle said urhobos where the second ethnic group in nigeria to settle and own properties in ajegunle. I also read somewhere or heard which I can't remember the source that urhobos where the second ethnic group to settle in Jos after the indigenous plateau peeps. There's no part of Northern nigeria u won't find a robust urhobo population but people are not aware becoz urhobos lack unity. They don't form communities like hausa and yoruba and they prefer to speak the language of their host. A bini friend of mine once lamented that he got to a village in benin which was made up of urhobos. He lamented becoz he said urhobos refused to grab and claim lands like ijaw and itsekiri that's why urhobos are relegated to only delta state. I served in ilaje during my nysc. The urhobos form the second ethnic group in ilaje. They are more than igbos there. They even know how to speak urhobo more than deltans yet many of them ve yoruba names(the same applies to okitipupa). Lastly my dad's security guard from adamawa was surprised when I took him round urhobo villages becoz of the large population. He said northern nigeria has landed space but sparse population. I said this becoz of those crazy guys that think kanuris, gbagyis and nupes are more populated than urhobos. How many kanuris can u come across in southern nigeria? But u can come across many urhobos in Northern nigeria. Cheers! 2 Likes 1 Share |
