Justrite nko? I dey enjoy una.

Nowenuse:
I never said no Emir in Plateau state. I said no Emir in Jos.

The Emir of Ilorin is in charge of the 5 local govt areas that make up Kwara central senatorial district and he is also the permanent president of Kwara state traditional council.

Please can you tell me the influence of the Emirs in Plateau? I am waiting!

Have you ever seen the emir of Ilorin speak Hausa. He only communicate in Yoruba. the Bogwom Jos speaks Hausa all the time. the Bogwom was installed by the emirate also by history. We have the Anaguta, Berom, Afizeres who all pally as a result of sultan. stop this

Osaze007:
Guy there's only one emir in Kwara
But two in Plateau that should concern you more


Go and drink some ogogoro and carry wheel barrow for begging
Emir of Karma
Emir of Wase

Emir is more of a title adoption and not bad as you people argue it. we have mogajis in Ibadan and sultan in osun. It's more of an adoption. The Emir of Ilorin can not speak Hausa or Fulani but Yoruba still. according to Walters how Europe underdeveloped Africa a language without borrow would not grow. even from the word Ilorin "where we make iron". English French Arabic Dutch also borrow.

'Awa Lagos people'. All of you have abandoned your rusty hometowns to ruins and complete dillapidation to claim 'Awa Lagos'. What a shame!

The wealth you are bragging of yoruba land has majority of it in Lagos which extended into Ogun and is dominated by Igbos and other Nigerians

You can imagine Ibadan a city of over 3 million people and heart of yoruba land yet over 90% of the city looks like this!
While the few manageable places are heavily decorated with refuse dumps along the roadside.

Stop this bro. In the world of today you can't force people into alignment. That is were the Ibos fail would still fail. The Okuns say they are Yorubas, I don't think they even need to say that. It's just like Kwara governor or it's entity saying am Yoruba. This people have strong alignment with the Yoruba. Look more into the Yoruba as an ideology.

Markfemi2:
Ebola was caught and stopped
I don't even know how you know how to use a phone as you should be on the streets begging for money or being bleeped by an emir
Go and drink some goskolo
Bloody uneducated idiot
Tribes are talking you too want to Talk
Bambi Allah dirty bastard
Okun and Kwara are Yoruba property

Bro please stop this. The guy is talking of their interest. The middlebelt interest". That interest is the most unrealistic in the separation of this entity called Nigeria. What is real if there is gonna be separation is that most Beltans will go with majority where their interest would be recogn. it's not like the Ss where there are less than 10 tribes altogether. Plateau state alone have more than 50 tribes.

Nowenuse:
Are you a naturally occuring fool or what? How many North-central indigenes have you seen begging or shinning shoes? There are hausa beggars in our region just as them boku for Lagos! Abi nor be so?

That Jos community was a Hausa community just like the Hausa communities in Lagos like Idi Araba, Sango, Mile 12 et al

Hi bro. I can tell you that after Jos the other place am in love with in Nigeria is cross river. Are you an Ngas man? The whole Kwara and parts of Kogi is Yoruba. They speak the Yoruba language, dress and believe traditionally. The Ilorin you talked about is conquered by the Fulani through the Yorubas through the Islamic faith they accepted. And made the Fulani the head. Niger state southern part including the Nupes have more cultural affinity to the Yoruba than the Hausa forget the Emirs dressing. Do you know the mother of Sango the acclaimed god of thunder is Nupe. Our culture of that Igunnu is also from there.

Let be serious if your Dad move off that church it would make everyone say you caused it. But in my Yoruba culture if you are marrying you attend the brides faith. The bride are the one giving out their daughter. If you are marrying a Muslim bride you go to mosque to marry. You can then covert her to the husband belief later. You like it or not I think Catholics nurtured you, so when it's time to rejoice they become second fiddle.

I love this discussion. It portend how the Oduas goes about integration of its brethren. Just want to remind us that the Nupes and Niger state in general relate and speak more Yoruba(almost all there cities speaks yoruba). Our boundaries might be even farther northwise than Jebba. Just to remind us Sangos mother is Nupe, he brought is Ose" from Nupe. Our culture of Igunnus" is from Nupe -Tapa.

We might say our sides of events, but it doesn't make us winners. We are all at fault in this contraption called Nigeria. Shifting blames at all times, doesn't make us better. Of you want to go, go in peace. Hatred from words leads to harm. I have not heard of Yoruba and Igbo with serious fight. But what I am seeing now can aggravate. Let calm our nerves and work towards a befitting exit.

Dear Readers,
I don't have statistical evidence to back up my claims but hypothetical analysis of what I note within this few months. I note that the rate of hate going on now in Omo karo o jire bi is uncalled for.
Please let not allow this to farther. Igbos are just known for mouthing. If they want to go let help them go in peace. We don't want belligerence. You are building bad attitude in the Yoruba mind. My good friends are Igbos. It's infective.
Igbos please if you intend leaving go in peace, this bad mouthing others is uncalled for. We might need each other even after your secession.

Backers seeking to break California away from the U.S. started collecting signatures Friday to get a proposed independence measure on the 2018 statewide ballot.
This isn't the first effort aimed at California secession but leaders say the previous tries were mostly about building awareness of the issue and increasing public support. They say recent polls show more Californians want a divorce from the union and believe that President Donald Trump's election also has boosted their cause.
"We definitely see that there's some newfound support for this and we want to get the signatures out there, especially now because we're in the first 100 days of Donald Trump's presidency when he's going to be aggressively pursuing his policies that the people of California are going to reject — and have rejected," Louis Marinelli, president of the Yes California Independence movement, said in an interview Friday.
However, the state-prepared summary on the petition from California Secretary of State Alex Padilla calls out the uncertain road ahead in this effort, which would have multiple hurdles.
Specifically, the summary said "the fiscal impact of this measure is dependent on various factors, including a vote by the people on this measure, a subsequent vote on California independence, possible legal challenges, and implementation issues. Assuming that California actually became an independent nation, the state and its local governments would experience major, but unknown, budgetary impacts."
In terms of annual GDP, California would rank sixth worldwide if it were a separate nation. California, home to about one out of every eight Americans, voted in favor of Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
Marinelli pointed to a recent opinion poll by Reuters/Ipsos showing one third of California residents now support breaking away from the U.S. The Reuters poll of 500 Californians, which was conducted from Dec. 6 to Jan. 19, found 32 percent support for the withdrawal. That compares with about 20 percent support, or one-in-five Californians, who backed the secession idea in 2014.
According to Marinelli, the so-called Calexit backers have about 7,000 supporters mobilized to gather signatures statewide for the new California nationhood initiative. The California Secretary of State's office said Thursday the backers of the measure must collect the signatures of 585,407 registered voters to qualify for the ballot. Organizers have until July 25, 2017, to meet the requirement.
"We think it's going to be quite easy for us to make the sell," said Marinelli. "California is a different place and has its own culture, its own history, its own identity, its own world view, and its own ideology in a large respect. So we would feel better off if we can set our own destiny, set our own path forward and not be connected to a lot of these obsolete policies of the American system."
Added Marinelli, "There's a lot of this dysfunction going on in the American system, the corruption in Washington, the animosity within the United States as a whole. So we want to break away from all that and set a new path forward. To establish for ourselves some kind of progressive republic on the western shores of North America."
The referendum aims to repeal a provision in the state's constitution that reads "California is an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land."
"What we want to do is give the people of California the chance to vote yes or no on independence," said Marinelli. "If the people want to stay in the country and they want to remain a state they can vote no. We're certainly going to be focusing on the argument about convincing people why it's better for us to become our own country."
Calexit backers see divorce from the union as a two-step process — first the vote in 2018 to repeal the "inseparable" provision from the state constitution and then a special election in 2019 for the independence vote itself.

Twenty-nine-year-old Johanna Watkins from Minnesota cannot kiss her husband Scott, or even spend time in the same room as him. She suffers from Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, a rare disorder of the immune system, which means she is allergic to almost everything, including her husband's scent.
Johanna and Scott Watkins's date nights are very different from other couples.
"Scott and I will try to watch a show together. We can't be in the room together, because I'm allergic to him, but he will be three floors below me in a room on his laptop and I will be on mine and we'll watch the show at the same time and then text about it as we're watching it," says Johanna.
Johanna lives in an attic room all by herself with sealed windows and doors, and air filters to purify the air. She has a severe form of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) in which the cells that are meant to protect her from outside threats mutate and start attacking her body instead.
The symptoms and severity of the disease can vary from patient to patient, but it makes Johanna allergic to virtually everything and can trigger life-threatening anaphylactic shock.
Before she married her husband Scott in 2013 Johanna did not expect her condition to become so severe. She worked as a teacher and the couple used to love hiking together. Even then she struggled with unusual rashes, irritable bowel syndrome and migraines, but these ailments became much worse after the couple married.
"There were times three and four years ago, before we got the diagnosis, that if I was extra close to my wife, specifically if my face was close to Johanna's face, she would cough," says Scott.
But it was only last year that the couple realised they had become unable to physically share their life together.
"We had noticed that when Scott would come in [to the room] I would start feeling worse and worse. My normal daily symptoms would just be aggravated," says Johanna. "And then at one point he went to get his haircut and came back in the room and within two minutes I had started my anaphylactic symptoms and he had to leave."
A week later Scott tried to see his wife again, but the same thing happened, and they realised their lives would have to change dramatically.
"It was this horrible reality that it wasn't going to work," says Johanna. "I was now reacting strongly to my husband. Before this I had reacted to my parents, to many, many other people, but it was horrific when it became Scott."

The treatment and medication that is usually given to MCAS sufferers does not help Johanna, so at the moment the couple do not know when - if ever - their situation will change.
"There's not an easy way around this problem. I want to keep Johanna safe and me going to see her compromises her safety," says Scott. "One of the ways I can take care of her now is by not going to see her. I'm not going to endanger her life. We're absolutely committed to one another and we're going to wait as long as it takes to see if there is some kind of healing."
Doctors are trying different treatments, but none so far have helped.
"They don't know if I will get well, and so we hope and we pray that I will," says Johanna. "I have had anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening allergic reaction, more times than we can keep track of. My life could end quickly. Life is frail - it can end."
But Scott will be part of her life for as long as it continues, she says.
"On our wedding day we made vows to each other that till death do us part. No matter what life brought.
"I can tell you that even if I have this until I'm 90 years old, I would be committed to my husband with that vow and still love him."
Scott says they do sometimes get angry and frustrated about their situation.
"I've had to release a lot of what I expected for myself and I've had to accept what has been given to us," says Scott.
He adds: "Johanna and I are good at talking, we talk a lot, we try to communicate a lot, so one thing that we've found that's helpful is just bringing each other into what's going on in our lives as best we can because we're not able to be together."
Scott works full-time as a teacher and then returns home every evening to cook Johanna's food.
"It's one of the ways that I can care for her, and every other day for the past year I've had one of my dear friends come and they help [me] cook for Johanna," he says. "She can only eat two meals, so she's been eating the same two meals for over a year."
Johanna can only tolerate 15 different foods, including spices, so she eats either beef chuck roast (beef stew) with organic celery, carrot and parsnip or organic lamb with turmeric, cinnamon and cucumber.
The couple are currently living in the family home of their friends, the Olsons, while their own home is renovated to make it a safe living space for Johanna. The Olson family have given up using all scented products and do not cook in their house at all.
"I have had severe reactions to someone smoking a cigarette down the block," says Johanna. "I have had severe reactions to the pizza place that's a mile down the street, and all my windows are closed and sealed in the room with special filters.
"But just if the wind blows it on the right direction that day and I get even a whiff I can have a severe reaction. The house is quite large and I'm at the top level, and if an onion were to be cut in the kitchen I have had a severe reaction."
Johanna has not left the attic room for more than a year, except to visit the hospital in an emergency or to see her doctor. Every morning she listens to a playlist of songs and then might write or answer an email to a friend, or video-call her young nieces.
The only people she does not have a life-threatening reaction to are her siblings, who help take care of her. Before they enter her room, they have to avoid eating strongly spiced food, shower with a special soap and strip down to their underwear. As soon as they walk in, they put on masks and special clothes that have never left Johanna's room.
Despite all these precautions, Johanna's symptoms still become worse after their visit.
"I think growing up in America, it's common for us to just think, 'Oh OK if there's a disease there'll be a medical solution, it will be fixed and I'll move on with my life,'" says Johanna. "So being diagnosed and becoming this ill, [there was] definitely a grieving process that I went through."
But the fact that Scott is downstairs in the same house and that she can talk to him on the phone is a huge comfort, says Johanna.
"I have many gifts in my life, many blessings that I have to be thankful for," she says. "And that reminds me to not become selfish and just make it all about me."

A former Arkansas judge accused of giving lighter sentences to male defendants in exchange for nude photos and sexual acts has been indicted on federal fraud and bribery charges.
Joseph Boeckmann resigned in May after dozens of men claimed he paid them to allow him to spank them with a paddle and to take photos of the red skin.
Mr Boeckmann, 70, has previously denied the allegations through his lawyer.
According to a federal indictment, he now faces 21 separate charges.
They include eight counts of wire fraud, two counts of witness tampering, one count of federal programme bribery and 10 counts of violating the federal Travel Act.
'Among the worst'
The indictment accuses Mr Boeckmann of "corruptly using his official position as an Arkansas district judge to obtain personal services, sexual contact, and the opportunity to view and to photograph in compromising positions persons who appeared before him in traffic and misdemeanour criminal cases in exchange for dismissing the cases".
At least one of his alleged victims was only 16, the indictment states.
It has also been alleged the former Cross County District Court judge also allegedly had more than 4,600 photos of nude or semi-nude men on his computer.
Mr Boeckmann resigned earlier this year after an investigation into allegations of inappropriate sexual relationships with men accused of crimes dating back to his time as a prosecutor decades earlier.
The head of the Arkansas Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission, which conducted the initial investigation, has called the allegations "if not the worst, among the worst cases of judicial misconduct'' in state history.
