MetaPhysical: Alaafin is the political head of Yoruba. Ooni is the spiritual head of Yoruba.
This has been covered several times.
In matters of divine spiritual worship and esoteric powers Ooni is first. In matters of military, politics and diplomatic relationships Alaafin is first.
The issue in Ekiti is political.
I hope you don’t mind if I share a link with you. I feel it can still make some difference and add up to you knowledge maybe give you a better idea that what you wrote maybe wrong.
emmasege: I'm surprised no one on the first page commented on the fact that Alaafin wrote his name before Oonirisa.
Ile Oodua should react appropriately to this and the unbridled arrogance of Alaafin towards Arole Oodua. This was why Ooni Sijuwade used everything at his disposal to silence Adeyemi while he was alive and he succeeded at that.
Someone close to Ooni Ogunwusi needs to tell him to be careful with this 'peace' thing he's doing with Alaafin. Alaafin will capitalize on his peaceful nature to continue parading himself as first in Yoruba land.
Where was Alaafin while Sijuwade reigned?
I tell you. He is actually going against what he preached in that letter.
This letter is okay but he(Alaafin) should know better that the arrangement is wrong. Number 2 should go to 1 and number 1 to 2 Like the Yoruba adage says “ibi ti a ba pe ni ori a kin fi tele”
ChiefAzubuike: Every fuel attendant has the right to collect keg charges. How much is #50 or #100 that you can't overlook. Those people suffer to make sure you have fuel in your car, at the end of the month they are paid peanuts yet you can't appreciate them with a token?
I think you need to know the difference between bribe and appreciating someone for a service... With this your attitude we ain't going anywhere in this country...that man deserve an accolade
macaphan007: I have noticed how life has become so cheap and of little value in Nigeria,this week has been full of negative events. There has to be conscious reawakening of the mindset of our people,we need to understand how important it is for people to find closure when they've lost someone,just like the accident on the 28th of June.
When I heard the causality figure announced by the authorities,I was taken aback at how quick they were to the figure been banded.
Now,from eyewitness account,the entire event happened within 30second to about 1 min from the time of tanker's failed break and the eventual explosion.
With the sheer numbers of cars that got burnt, I think the Govt was in haste to play down the seriousness of the event,by doing that they've allowed Nigerians moved back to their normal activities,which I see as selfish and wicked,because an event like this will happen again.
My questions are
why wasn't a forensic done,by collecting samples from the burnt cars to ascertain if there were human remains in those cars.
why weren't the VIN of the cars gotten to get in contact with the owners or their families for compensation and closure.
If the above procedures were taken we would have been able to know how serious this event was,not that the lives of 9 people don't matter but that others who are not accounted for,their families can find closure.
This could have happened to anybody,and nobody deserves to die that way,successive Govt negligence has cost the lives of these people.
Nigerians need to demand more from the Govt we voted in cause we deserve better.
May the souls of the departed find peace.Amen.
The country we find ourselves...instead they are going around shouting let's pray... Asif they are doing their part.
dainformant: Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel presented a brand new *Lexus RS330* worth millions of naira to a physical challenge man earlier today in Uyo.
The car was presented to the man identified as Mr. Godwin jack a.k.a. Udom free Chanel, by the special assistant to the state governor on social reorientation, Mr. Ekpeno Gold at Udom Abre State Secretariat along Four lane in Uyo, the state capital.
ChiefAzubuike: This is not how to train a child. In fact they have wasted money on that girl. An ancient Chinese proverb from the Han and Qin dynasty says "Give a man a fish and he will eat today. Teach him how to catch fish and he will eat forever"
U are saying this cos of your financial status bro.... That's just like your parent buying you a nice shoe after graduation to them.... Keep praying baba... God go pick your call..
Well i believe the retired AIG doesn't read or doesn't know anything about history so let me do a little bit of enlightenment. Lord macalulays Address to the British parliament on 2nd of February 1835 he said and I quote " I have travelled across the length and breadth of Africa and I have not seen one person who is a begged who is a thief, such wealth I have seen in this country, such high MORAL VALUES, people of calibres. I do not think we would ever conquer this country(Nigeria, Yorubas) unless we break there backbone which is her spiritual heritage and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system , her CULTURE for if the Africans-Nigerians-Yorubas think that all that's foreign is good greater than their own they will loose their SELF ESTEEM their NATIVE CULTURE . They will become what we want a truly dominated nation." In view of this the oba of eko has lost his self esteem and he's now a dominated commoner that need to be "baptised to feel among the living soul". And we got the report that the gesture put up by the king is a way of greeting I feel they can come up with a better excuse if waving hand is a way of greeting is looking away while waving hand without a smile a way of greeting too? I believe we need to retrace our steps and make ammendment as to where we have lost it (Our Culture).. Omo ife ododo Odua a'gbe a o
I use to think every easter Sunday if I get to church Early enough I will see Jesus ascending to heaven..my parent will tell me to wake up very early and go to church so that I will see him....I did that till I can't even remember when I stopped

sammyscholar: This happened way back in 2005 but I think it still worths sharing, anyway.
So sister finished from Unilorin and was posted to Gombe for her mandatory National Youth Service. Camping was momentous and equally awesome. Soon, she finished camping, and luckily for her, she was posted to NNPC, Gombe, for her PPA. In no time, she was at NNPC, Gombe, together with other corp members posted to the PPA (a place she never imagined even in her widest imagination). She was posted there anyway and all was just beautiful. But getting to the PPA, she experienced the greatest nepotism and favouritism of her life. Seriously, Nigeria don become somthing else e don tey. They asked them to submit their documents along with letter from the WHO IS WHOs. The rest submitted their documents together with letters from dignitaries. She could not produce any letter and it was then that it dawned on her that everything was ARRANGEE. They had made mistake to send her along with the SPECIAL ONES because they already had the exact number of corp members they needed. They told her she was a daughter of nobody and that there was no place for her at NNPC. She was so embittered and had no choice than to leave. Has she made into the city of Gombe heading to no where in particular, lo and behold, she walked into the state NYSC cordinator's wife. They had met during camping and as an extrovert that she is, she had related with the coordinator's family. The woman wondered why she wandered around and asked her what had happened. She narrated her ordeal and then, the tuzzle began. She informed the Coordinator, her husband, ASAP, and he promptly threatened to withdraw all corp members at NNPC, Gombe, if they failed to absorb her. They retorted that they already got the maximum number of corp members they needed. The Coodinator stood on his words so they agreed to conduct exam for the corp members to screen out one person. The exam was conduct and she excellently passed. Having no other justifiable means to get her out, they absorbed her but scorned her for months before they finally resigned to fate.
I believe this is just a single out of many cases of this type. Seriously, systems in Nigeria have become so rotten from time immemorial. Please let this get to the from page; it might be what someone somewhere is going through right now.

That's why we are still where we are...We don't look for what the next person will offer us but we look around for signatures of who is who at the end we absorb dumb to some important places
Emma30: i had a failed transaction since december 24. but i decided to PH 30% of the failed amount yesterday as adviced by a participant. immediately i PHed, i was matched to pay and i did so. in less than 1 hour, all the failed transaction and the new PH i did was matched for me to recieve payment. THYIS IS THE TRUTH. give it a try. stop waiting for automatic rematching cos that was what i did since december last year
Please we can still live with the cash we haven't gotten but if u mislead us to ph 30% and we don't get to gh at the end it won't be a good thing cos we are suppose to have each others back and not mislead ourselves
gracevien: Don't bother, thought so too. After two weeks without being matched for my GH i decided to try the 30% stuff meaning I went on to PH 30% of my GH, they matched me to pay without attending to my GH and when i didnt pay my account was suspended and btw the support is not responding to issues.
Support not responding is a big issue at least if they can assure us that after paying the 30% there won't be problem we will know....oga oo
