CareerRe: Why Do Most Female Secretaries Sleep With Their Bosses? by jimmyjam: 1:58am On Apr 04, 2008
another issue with this pimpin game as i call it is that. sometimes the characters involved want to change places i.e some times the ho's want to become pimps and the players want to become pimps, the pimps become ho's and ho's become players etc lol

this is usually what ends in problem and gets messy so its best to pick one role and continue with it!

also people like terry waya cannot tell me that with all the ho's he pimps he dosnt sleep with these women because more than 90% are finer than his wife and his wife cant say she dosnt know he sleeps with them! she dare not leave mr waya however because she wont get that kind of money from a nigerian man easily because as long as he gives her alot of money diamonds, cars etc she will simply act like she dosnt know!
CareerRe: Why Do Most Female Secretaries Sleep With Their Bosses? by jimmyjam: 1:46am On Apr 04, 2008
The thing about this pimpin game is that some young guys front money from old rich guys to catch these girls and then hand over these girls after sleeping with them. these old guys then pass them on to their friends and then the whole cycles start all over again!

This love-vendor game is an art and science , if you still new in the love-vendor game a lot of times the old guys will use you to get the girls for free and give you nothing, but after a while they start to give you contracts connections, money in some cases its the hoes that have to give you the money because the players give it to them directly.

some of the rich pimps in nigeria are people like orji kalu, terry waya, andy uba, dele momodu, etc these guys specialize in procureing and suppliyng hoes on contract from all parts of the world and in nigeria as well. their client list is the high and mighty , rich and powerful and after been suppliers for a long time usually get rewarded with political posts.

of cause some of the popular old school hoes who are still a bit active in the game are nike oshinowo, chief mrs lanre ojora, erelu fernandez, lola alakija, siene alwell-brown (siene rasak lawal), otunba mike adenuga (a gay man) etc

some of the old and powerful players who have different tastes (both normal and homosexual) include: IBB, late sani Abacha (liked arab and indian women), jerry Useni, Tom Ikhimi, Obasanjo, atiku, ooni of ife, jerry rawlings, various diplomats such as walter carrington etc infact andrew young a former us ambassador to the UN and a clo[se friend of obasanjo who is btw 70-80 yrs old loves nothing less then 30 yr old ladies and even supplies obasanjo these american girls even till date!

infact gay i.e homosexual hoes carry a higher price and reward for pimps then just ordinary girls!

and of cause it can be in the referse as well oh yes, its well known that a former newscaster grace egbagbe carries young men to the likes of TY Dajumas wife (daisy danjuma), mariam babangida, kema chikwe, mrs gowon etc these women love young boys of 35 and younger o lol

You see this game of pimps and hoes and players been around for awhile. the employers and management are the pimps, the hoes are the chicks and the players are the men who come and patronize these hoes lol

as the saying goes "pimpin aint easy , but somebody got to do it" and if i may add they are all making a lot of money from the game lol
CareerRe: Why Do Most Female Secretaries Sleep With Their Bosses? by jimmyjam: 11:36pm On Apr 03, 2008
The employers (banks, oil companies, govt etc) and office girls themselves are also partly to blame because:

-why do the girls wear revealing dresses even those who come from strong religious backgrounds do this and they know what they are inviting. yes even me as a man if i wan to seduce a woman all i have to do is remove my shirt and start lifting weights and flexing my muscles (women are also turned on by a well shaped chest and biseps to a minor extent) so also women who want to seduce men also wear dresses that reveal their boobs and backside!

- the employers should ban indecent dressing all open blouses whould be banned also shirt should be full length down to ankles.

-its quite possible that some of these banks actually employed ex prostitutes and try to rehabilitate them by offering them jobs in the banks but its hard to teach an old dog new tricks lol
CareerRe: Why Do Most Female Secretaries Sleep With Their Bosses? by jimmyjam: 11:14pm On Apr 03, 2008
the explanation of younger man having sugar mummys or the women sleeping with their drivers etc is simply that ,

A man needs to satisfy his thing (anatomy) a few times a day and so has to be out and about in guest houses , golf clubs with other women etc and so dosnt provide his female parner i.e wife or girlfriend her own needed sexual satisfaction of once or twice a week.

this leads to the woman having to find her own satisfaction from single younger men or men who are readily around i.e houseboys. drivers etc

and the thing about women is that they don't admit when they need it i.e they use style i.e they will pretend that the man has offended them so that the man will try and hug her and say sorry etc from there na staight to bedroom lol

however if a man needs it he will tell him madam and take necessary action however this seems to turn women off and so their man just goes to sleep without it and then the next day he has gone to beer palor and then from there to guest house and then gets home drunk at 1am and says " oh honey sorry i was with tunde my old classmate and you know how he likes to gist" lol

Also neither the man nor the woman spend thier money at home due to this the man will spend the money on these office chicks and the women will spend this money on thier sugar boyfrinds thereby allowing the children to trun to 419 to survive at a young age because the dont give them pocket money!

In nigeria especially nowadays the ladies at the front desk reception, public relations, human resources, customer service  and marketing departments are employed primarily for their potential as corporate prostitutes this phenomenon is also taking place in europe,  US and India etc as well.

Believe it or not there are some banks and companies in nigeria that are set up by these so called rich and powerful men (who are usually the members of the board of directors) as corporate brothels i.e the banks where set up not to provide banking services but ladies for sexual services! and these directors and their friends use this business as an excuse for late night business meetings etc
in short they use a similar system as a women would use i.e a perfectly logical reason and excuse that looks and sounds fool proof!

Men are quantity oriented and can have sex 3 times a day with 3 different women also they are sexually aroused by the females physical features i.e bust, backside, thighs, face etc

Women on the otherhand are quality oriented only needs to have sex once a week but the man should be able to last long or go multiple rounds. They are sexually aroused by a man thats powerful and wealthy thats why obasanjos sons wife moji was chasing general olusegun obj himself

Believe it or not as ugly & old  as obasanjo is, a woman of say 30 would find him more sexually attractive than say someone like orji kalu simply because it is in a females genetics to look for these traits in a man to have offspring with i.e they want a man that both her and her children can be proud of also they want a man that can give them plenty of evidence or things to brag to their friends that their partner bought them as a sign of strong relationship (both sexual and non sexual)!

This is why a woman can leave a poor , powerless man for a man with more money and power. Also this is why a man can also abandon their women for a finer more shapely woman!!

or men and women abi i dey lie can u confirm that these are what turn u onhuhhuh?!!!!!!!!!! lol
CultureRe: The Satanic Cult That Rules The World by jimmyjam: 8:49pm On Apr 03, 2008
There is however another school of thought to this freemason and conspiracy theory issues and this is explained by rational thinking in psychology i.e that they may just be symbolists who have suffered brain damage that has made them exhibit an obession for triangular systems and shapes and that there are other people who had brain damamge that could have lead them to behave in circular, rectangular etc method of doing things!

This brain damage usally occurs according to these psychologists/psychiatrists when a small child falls down by accident and then develops this obssesion for certain shapes and systems though out thier life as a result.

However as the bible say that " all evil imagination should be cast out, and pulled down (including strongholds)" so whether the feemason and thier link to lucifer/satan is true or not we should not glorify or edify them, any of their images (triangle, all seeing eye) or even recognize or acknowledge them in any way rather they should recognize us (born again, children of God) as having a power and backing superior to thiers, so they should be the ones wondering how the kingdom of Jesus or God operates, and the bible said only he (God/Jesus) know the secret inner workings and that the bible should not be challenged, so we are a secret cult also!
CultureRe: The Satanic Cult That Rules The World by jimmyjam: 8:33pm On Apr 03, 2008
Also in terms of world i.e national growth and development i.e it usually follows a triangular format i.e the europeans and russians pass on a new discovery or technology to chinese and indians these chinese and indians then pass it on to the arabs and africans.

this is why a lot of lebanese and indians are in nigeria today also partly because they front businesses!
CultureRe: The Satanic Cult That Rules The World by jimmyjam: 8:18pm On Apr 03, 2008
apparently freemasonry can also be linked to the ancient tower of babel , sodom and gahmorra and ancient city of atlantis its said that the decendants of the few survivers of these catastrophies where the the founding fathers of america including great explorers such as christopher columbus.

also its said that gypsies and fulani (african gypsies) dont have any alliegience to family what so ever i.e a woman can marry many men and vice versa, homosexuality is common and their men and women , also incest is popular among them, so anything goes in thier culture even though all these are not as rampant today as they where before arabs, europeans came ! i.e freedom
CultureRe: The Satanic Cult That Rules The World by jimmyjam: 8:06pm On Apr 03, 2008
apparently most of the british and portugese that first came to nigeria where mason such as cornel lugard and navy Lt glover including some of the missionary priests that where spreading christianity and at the same time freemasonry teachings in nigeria.
even the arab traders who came via the sahara long before the british also would teach freemasonry along with isalm teachings.

the triangle/pyramid symbol is all over in nigeria e.g the nigerian stock exchange logo has this triangle this is also why groungnut pyramid was the symbol of northern wealth prior to oil boom!

trying to ban spraying is as hopeless as trying to stop as gbenga obasanjo would say "awure" or cultural family incest. or will some of you not say that these kind of practices are not going on in your own families i.e awure (free for all sex/show) all over the country there are cultural practices like this still going on!

Aging is natural, some people show signs of aging before others or in different ways than others. for some its getting bald or white hair or arthritis.
here are some tips for staying young and at least living till 100

- take multivitamins regularly

-exercise at least once a week (jogging is best)

- get at least 6-8 hrs of sleep

-drink plenty of water

- stay away from toxocity: harmful chemicals (alchohol, cigarettes, bleach, make up etc)

- stay away from electrical sources (example TV's ,keep them far away from the body when watching, use landline primarily and cell phone only if you have to) they cause cancer and high blood pressure

-enjoy a joke and laughter when ever possible

- listen to good music : jazz, classical, gospel

- worship God regularly and ask him to forgive your sins. also learn to forgive others

- try to stay away from red meat (beef , chicken etc) oxford and harvard medical school studies have shown that vegetarians and fish eaters live 10-30 years longer than their meat eating counterparts and are also less prone to cancer and high blood pleasure. i.e eat more vegetables, fruits and seafood (fish , shrimps) and beans and carbohydrates etc

- take some time out to enjoy yourself such as going to the beach

adedibu is a combination of jabba the hutt (shit character/man), chubaca and and yoda in star wars lol  i.e an ugly, stinking, smelling good for nothing piece of shit and a noise maker, he uses phychology by making alot of noise with the little contact he has in the media through odeyemi so that it appears to have power that he does not! Odeyemi better be careful because Edo mafia has marked his name down and they can cage him easily.

Members of the mafia that had their money in savannah bank all got their money back most non members till today are yet to recieve their money. the money was used to settle members of the mafias (edo and kaduna)

Also the mafia members don't board any airline flight that has not been serviced/fixed by a mafia member and that the pilot is not an edo mafia man!

please read this article link regarding how edo mafia controls the nigerian navy and oil bunkering, PPMC, NNPC and oil companies in nigeria
http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/oduyela/111204.html

If a mafia has been giving your mother and father money to survive on a reglar basis before you where born and the same mafia paid your school fees from primary school to university and helps you get a job at the state local and federal level & private companies as clerks, drivers, directors, police, SSS, soldiers, newspaper into chevron , etc you will do anything for them because they really care about you especially if they pay you double or triple your salary every month when you go for meetings! now can adedibu beat that, never!

And  they have been enlarging their coast since independence. They are really doing a good deed because nobody will help the poor opressed people in nigeria if not because of edo mafia and kaduna mafia to some extent!

almost all nigerian heads of state have supported this mafia system. The top people in govt steal money and make things bad and use this stolen money to do good so as to enlarge their coast and look good! believe it or not about half of the govs in objs admin where edo mafia men including oyinlola of osun and lawal of kwara state! even group captain mudashiru of lagos, navy captain toye sode and cornel nwosu who where oyo governors are  edo mafia men, alamayeisiga etc!

infact if you have very looked closely you will notice that oyinlola, toye sode, bode george, akhirinade all have benin traditional mark meaning either their grand parent or great grand parent are benin people and they are the ones who gave them this mark.

When bola tinubu, niyi adebayo, fayose, osoba etc where caged in by bode george with soldiers singing war songs outside the govt house all those soldiers where edo mafia boys as well as bode george himself, if not bode george would not have been made military governor of ogun state by aikhomu.

Labor unions in nigeria its edo mafia (adams oshiamole) controlling it , if they want yar adua to leave office its edo mafia that will organize the nationwide strike it infact its edo mafia that organized the brief civil servant strike in oyo state.

The thing about edo mafia organized strike is that they can be on strike for more than a month and still be collecting double thier salary and sitting at home comfortably because the mafia will be paying them. So you can see how much power they have in this country today. Infact its thier platform and structure that the that kaduna mafia (with the little power they are trying to rebuild and reconsolidate after being weakened by the fall of dasuki, deaths of yar adua and hassan katsina under abacha) use to effect nationwide changes!
BusinessRe: What Is A Domiciliary Account? by jimmyjam: 2:24am On Mar 27, 2008
GT bank and its sister bank skye bank are not the best for dom account keeping the best is zenith, access or Equitorial Trust Bank (mike adenugas bank) I say this because:

Skye bank charges 1% on withdrawals from your account which is not practiced in any other bank, also GT banks website has links that dont work i,e useless website.

Equitorial trust bank is the first in nigeria to have a fully functional online banking system that allows you to tranfer from your account to another account in another bank in nigeria the rest of the banks are either yet to sign up for the interswitch system that allows that or are control freaks who do not want you controlling your own money!

If you read the only truthful source of news in nigeria www.saharareporters.com you will see buhari and atikus petiton to the tribunal court there. you will see how the electiosn violated about 70% of the election law such as no serial numbers, no cover sheets, no serially marked boxes etc, use of thugs, touts more voters in some local govt areas than registered voters these should automatically cancel and void that election based on the law in the constitution.

However whats in the constitution and what the verdict by justices at the tribunal do not tally at all. Its God that will Judge it and all will get their reward in due time.

The best solution to it is a proposed owambe tax/permit

1. The Tax will be a fixed fee, or a fee based on number of party attendees.

2 The tax will include the right to close a road for 24-48 hrs (with the exception of major express-ways) and free police protection for the party.

3 The tax will be collected by the police DPO of the area
BusinessRe: "You Can't Ban Spraying, It's Our Culture" - KSA To Soludo by jimmyjam: 11:18pm On Mar 26, 2008
Another justification for spraying is

1 The need to showcase thier wealth for people who rose up from the slums or rural areas and made big money in the cities.

2 Unemployed pretty females who have made owambe attendance a career and means of lively hood

3 Need for people to feel known in the society and that they can compete money wise with the politicians who are stealing money

4 the fact that its practiced in other countries such as U.S in strip clubs etc even arabs are spraying belly dancers in saudi now lol
BusinessRe: "You Can't Ban Spraying, It's Our Culture" - KSA To Soludo by jimmyjam: 11:06pm On Mar 26, 2008
Its virtually impossible to ban spraying money in nigeria because "it has now become part of the culture over the last 40 years" so it will still be going on "under G" or do you mean to tell me that if theres a high profile wedding and people such as nuhu ribadu, IBB, OBJ are there and there is spraying going on that any police man will dare to arrest anybody there, if he will not be sacked from the police. Let me tell you nuhu ribadu himself loves spraying and owambe!

I agree however that it should be banned and the money put to better use. But it may be impossible to stop if the lawmakers, police chiefs and yar adua himself love owambe and spraying more than anything themselves. Yar adua dosnt have money to waste if not he will be a keen advocate of spraying even though he loves it like no mans business you can even see it in his eyes (umar yaradua) that dep down to him theres nothing like a good owambe, cold gulder with pounded yam and a pocket full of naira and dollars to spray "na poor and powerless man naim dey shout foul" apparently there was spraying at yar aduas duaghters wedding!
BusinessRe: "You Can't Ban Spraying, It's Our Culture" - KSA To Soludo by jimmyjam: 10:54pm On Mar 26, 2008
Spraying as it applies to owambe is not part of our culture in nigeria, it started when the politicians from the first republic i.e 1960 where diplaying thier new ill gotten weath , but it used to remain in closed door parties at that time after which it died down when aguiyi ironsi became head of state.

When General Gowon became head of state and with our oil boom, spraying and owambe where resuscitated, institutionalized and bastardized and praise singers such as sunny ade, ebeneezer obey, dan maria jos became musical icons and big money makers.

Now this owambe money spraying has even gotten to northerners (hausa) who had a traditional culture of being humble unlike thier yoruba counterparts who traditionally show off or brag about money!

Infact the foreigners in nigeria now are also getting into this culture and are now wearing traditional wear and spraying money.

TRX netcom is not owned and run wholly by foreigners. people like atiku have a hand in those kinds of business they use indians, lebanese and europeans as management because they dont want nigerians misbehaving i.e neither the employees nor the customers because they know if its run by nigerians they will not come to work on time or they will employ only their village people etc and things will be even worse then they are now.

However TRX i do agree with you that you and anyone else should get a refund for the 1-2 weeks that you did not have sevice because even though there can be outages as usually stated in the terms and conditions of service contract agreement anything more than 3 days is too long a time for an outage due to equipment failure.

You best bet is to get people who had similar problems to write a petition to the companies management demanding for a partial refund or they can credit your future payments sothat you pay less of thats months bill or follow the steps i outlined above.
ComputersRe: The Best ISP In Nigeria? by jimmyjam: 6:42am On Mar 25, 2008
This also means that you will get faster speeds at offices, banks etc than you will get at home locations.

It also means that during the daytime i.e office hrs (from 8am to 5pm) the internet wll be jampacked.

the routers and switches (equipment) that handles internet connections only allow a certain maximum capacity of users at a time. this is similar to how at the end of the month the phone lines are busy because there a max number who can be connected at a time.

This could lead to people (individuals) being disconnected with anything ranging from a few minutes to a week or more (especially at the end of the month)
ComputersRe: The Best ISP In Nigeria? by jimmyjam: 6:24am On Mar 25, 2008
The reason internet is expensive in nigeria is because:

1. SAT 3 undersea cable and the nigerian satellites was financed for NITEL by a combination of local nigerian banks and world bank,  this NITEL loan which includes principal and interest is gradually being paid back by you paying a bill that is 3 times that what is charged in u.s and u.k

2. some banks, oil companies and govt virtually don't pay because they are the investors  only individuals and some ISP's do! so you are paying for it to payback for the nitel loan.

3 nitel charges exhorbitant rates (loan + profit for nitel to pay staff and enjoy coke and big treat meat pie etc lol) to ISP's who in turn charge the idividual subscriber high rates

The reason why these highest speed available are provided to these govt offices and bank etc is because they have a higher demand with many branch offices so they bring more business to NITEL than the individual person. also for national security, oil business, communication,  financial (CBN, NSE) and more important need than just  casually surfing the net (individuals).

This means that all things being equal with years to come we should see cheaper rates, more ISP competition etc but with the nigerian factor they may say that fuel prices have made everything go up and may even use that to raise rates further.

The only solutions to bring the price down and  demand for better quality of the service for now are:

1. A Joint law suit with signed petition against nitel , after all if GSM carriers can lose in court over un-refunded minutes and subscribers won the case,  i don't see why it can't be done against NITEL and ISP'S.

2.  The involvement of ITU, IEE, nigerian society of engineers, nigerian computing society, ICAN etc

3.  use of pressure groups such as internet suscribers association of nigeria, consumer protection groups, open letter to minister of communications/NITEL/ISPs addressing this in the newspapers, etc

4 A combination of 3 of the above
ComputersRe: The Best ISP In Nigeria? by jimmyjam: 5:50am On Mar 25, 2008
There are 8 kinds of internet  and internet speeds we get in nigeria for indivdual consumer use which are:

1 dial up: 56kbps ties up your phone line

2.  ISDN (double dial up spped that does not interfere with your phone lines like regular dial up)

3. IDSL (slow speed)  10mbps =  64kbps
4. SDSL (Medium Speed) 10-100 mbps = 64-128kbps
5. ADSL ( fast speed)100-500mbps = 128-512+ kbps

6. cable internet (called fixed wireless internet in nigeria) 80-512kbs

7. VSAT satellite 80-512kbps

8. GPRS i.e GSM internet about the same speed with ISDN

other kinds of internet  in nigeria are T1/T3/DS,  and OC (fiber optic) which range in speed from 500mbps-10gbps = 512kbps - 1gbs+

however these other kinds of internet are only made available to oil companies, govt offices (nigeria armed forces, nitel, mtel, central bank  etc) telecom companies (globacom, mtn, intercellular etc) embassies, internet service providers (cobranet, netcom, iwireless etc) and banks

It is mandated by the federal govt in the constitution that english is the official language of elected officials and govt communication and this has been the case since independence. Reason for this is because nigeria is a federation and nation. Yoruba can only complement the current system and not replace it.

The word Oba was introduced into yoruba by the Benin and theres only one oba accoring to the benin i.e oba of benin the yorubas adopted it and even started using it in their names i.e obafemi.

the words ekotedo mean waterland of the edo and eti-osa etc these are all edo names. this is why the dressing of the lagos chiefs and masquerades is similar to that of edo/ delta area ie pure white robe.  Infact the Oniru family of lagos who are the traditional rulers of the area known as Iru land i.e victoria Island, Lekki etc up to ajah wil tell you that their history traces them to Edo.

Till today the oba of benin will tell you that their grandfathers sent emmissiaries (ambassadors) and soldiers to inhabit the area known as lagos island
but close to the mainland i.e ikeja they met a tribe (yoruba) from present day ogun state they forght for years until they opted for a unity govt and started intermarriage this is why the current oba of lagos has an edo like name i.e akhikhiolu (in edo pronounciation) infact they where suppose to be rotating it between the yoruba side and edo side of the ruling house all these years.

The edo had at one point taken over and had children with the women in the area known as akure and ondo today infact ondo in edo is called onedo but the "e" is silent i.e they are the ones who gave that area its name including the ondo river. infact Ekiti is pronounced ekhi-ti or ehi-ti among edo. Also they had even impregnated women in present day idomaland and kogi thats why its called Idoma but the edo from their tales call it edoma thats why Idoma people have edo like names the edo conquest went as far as onitsha in the east until the british came.

So till today they still feel that Ondo, Lagos, some parts of Osun, Oyo, Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Benin republic and Togo (ito-ogho) are all part of their land. Ekotedo in ibadan is where edo conquest stopped before they british came and they had to return to edo as reinforcements to fight the british if not they wold have conquered ibadan!

edo are the ones that named most major yoruba cities and states i.e:  iba-deon (ibadan), oyo, ondo, ekiti, osun, ida-homey (dahomey) eko (lagos) , idah (in kogi state) ebira (ebi-irah i.e the yoruba in kogi state), ilo-eko-idjah (lokoja), ajoa-ikuta.

the system of king makers (ogiso) was adopted in yoruba land from edo thats why edo decide who becomes governor , senator, minister, house of rep etc in yorubaland or the west as a whole!

it was yoruba, igbo, edoma, igala, igbira that use to be slaves to the oba of benin, it was yoruba that used to carry the oba of benin on his thrown on their shoulders.

Infact it was edo that brought civilization to yoruba land, before which the yoruba lived in feudalism (farmers and hunters who would fight for territorial control) so its the edo that brought about the system we cal oba and kingship and even representation based on the most senior family head (baale) at the obas palace. this is same with igbo they don't have respect before edo came to meet them they had no obi's it was edo that introduced age group system to them.

the yoruba where very rude and classless until the edo came to meet them, it was edo that introduced ejo (please),  ose (thank you),  idobale (prostrate for elders) , ekhi-abo (ekabo i.e welcome), ekhale

Oba of benin used to have animals such as lions, tigers , elephants in his palace. It was by elephant that edo travelled faster than hausa could travel where using horse which is not as fast as elephant.
Yoruba where wearing leaf they did not have clothes however edo had been wearing material sold to them by pourtuguese decades and centuries before. even they did not have shoe or slippers it was edo that first wore slippers before yoruba  infact even before ashanti.

further evidence of this is the gha  and ashanti tribe in ghana that trace their heritage to fuga in edo north i.e fu-ghana and it was them that gave ghana as the ahsanti chiefs their title "ghana" meaning king in ashanti, infact the second head of state of ghana was from  this gha tribe and his wifes maiden surname was fuga!

the oba of benin was collecting royalties for all slaves sold in yoruba land and igboland from lagos to oyo to onitcha and aro whre salves where being sold. and this is where oyibo got their name from meaning the forigner that behaves like igbo because oyibo could sell human being just like igbo because of money.

It was oba of benin that was in charge of central bank of nigeria before the british because he controlled all forms of money : cowrie, brass armulet, coral beads.  infact it was oba of benin that gave all obas, traditional rulers in the south their crown, he sent them the coral bead crown!

yorubas who where not staight forward and where caught in the market where the ones that where slaughtered and their blood was used at the shrine of the edo god of vengeance. same thing the yoruba and igbo where buried live with a dead oba, becaus the tradition says that they would serve the oba in the afterlife.

also the edo used to use fire to burn yoruba and igbo villages when they where annoyed. thats why the edo are better christians than yoruba "i.e the God that answereth by fire"
