Food › Re: What Is The Cultural Origin Of Egusi Soup by Konquest: 11:46pm On May 29, 2024

Onyiiobi7735:
Egusi soup originated from Igboland and the word Egwusi was misspelled Egusi during the arrival of Europeans,by the explorers.
Egusi has many alternate names across Igboland, often bordering on dialects and communities.

Your post here is absolutely FALSE! Check the attached screenshots below for more historical information.

This is exactly how some highly dishonest young Ibos on an NL frontpage thread blatantly lied that egusi is not a Yoruba word but from their language. Fortunately well-read folks of Yoruba descent took all of them to the cleaners when it was CLEARLY shown that EGUNSI (egusi) is a Yoruba word that was already recorded in the first Yoruba-English dictionary published in 1843! The first Ibo dictionary by Bishop Crowther in 1888 however had NO egusi or even Egwusi listed in it and subsequent editions simply because ELILI or Enini are the original Ibo names for melon (egusi).

=>https://www.nairaland.com/8047476/igbo-soups-all-nigerian-tribes

The final blow to the relentless liars among the young Ibos who SHAMEFULLY do not know their own history came when the screenshot of the Longman Ibo dictionary were uploaded on that thread and the Longman entry under egusi CLEARLY showed that the IBOS got the word egusi as a LOAN word from the "Yor" (Yorubas). The entry also referenced Elili as the ACTUAL Ibo name for the yoruba word egusi. That also AFFIRMED that egusi soup has been eaten in Yorubaland for centuries. These are facts that older Ibo scholars such as J.C. Echeruo who contributed to that Longman in Ibo dictionary already knew... That egusi is an original Yoruba word.

=>https://www.nairaland.com/8047476/igbo-soups-all-nigerian-tribes/1

Kudos to the Yoruba folks for having a Westernized and educated elite and middle class in the 1800s and for documenting their linguistic and cultural histories as far back as the 1800s which have enabled the ability to debunk the inciting LIES and historical FORGERIES by cultural thieves among the younger Ibos trying to STEAL and claim Yoruba words as theirs.

Note that I didn't mention Egusi and the rest

@Magnificenttop,

Props to you for your insightful responses to those narcissistic trolls whose monikers you quoted. These overbearing creeps didn't even bother to watch the explanatory YouTube video here on page 1.

Tbh, it's amazing that this Website called NL is owned by a Yoruba dude (He spends more time on X than on his own Website) who acts in a politically correct manner, yet Yorubas and their culture have openly come under the most toxic and relentless attacks on multiple threads by MAJORLY Ibo ethnic bigots and trolls who derail threads and those who just want to read thread posts and move on can't even concentrate properly. There are many Diasporans and citizens of many countries worldwide who will be reading this thread topic and other threads that will be dissapointed in the total lack of quality control by the Moderators here!

As a non-Ibo, you can't try the B.S. these small but relentless, narcissistic Ibo trolls are doing openly right here on NL, on Ibo-owned Websites, the admins of those sites would take you down.

This thread with the detailed video explaining the many difference types of soups the Yoruba folks have had for centuries would have been a fantastic thread for learning about cuisines from other cultures like that of the Yorubas and more, BUT these well-known monikers owned by ethnic bigots and youngsters of Ibo origin keep jumping from thread to thread derailing topics, and planting FAKE stories just to tarnish the image of others. Seun has failed in creating the sanity here which he promised in December of 2023 with his Moderators. I have used NL since 2005, and the last 10 years of NL have been the worse years on this Website tbh. The original registration process here is the MAJOR cause of all the nonsense! When trolls and bigots gets banned for violating NL rules, within 3 minutes, they instantly create new monikers with free throwaway emails and even blatantly taunt the moderators for banning them. We have given insightful suggestions to the NL Admins for years on how to STOP this but the owner has turned a deaf ear to optimizing this Website with the business ruthlessly that it deserves.

A new NL account should always be manually checked and ONLY given approval after 2 to 3 days so that any SLUR words used to create a moniker and IP addresses can be verified or detected by the Admin. This is how prominent American and British discussion forums which I belong to operate before Nairaland even came into existence in 2005 function.

Last but not least, I remember a thread that hit the NL frontpage in April 2024 where these same overbearing young Ibo trolls relentlessly insulted Yoruba folks and claimed FALSELY that Yorubas stole the word Egusi and Egusi soup that Yorubas have eaten for centuries from them, until to the ETERNAL DISGRACE of these group of overbearing Ibos, the Internet savvy and historically well-read Yoruba folks online uploaded massive evidence from the oldest 1843 English-Yoruba dictionary showing that the word Egusi was contained in that book, meaning that Ibos borrowed it after 1900 from Yoruba folks and even the Longman English-Ibo dictionary CLEARLY stated as shown in the screenshot attached below that Egwusi is an Ibo borrowed or LOAN word from "Yor" the Yoruba language. The original Ibo name for the Yoruba word EGUSI is ELILI as recorded in the older Ibo dictionaries.

Another attached screenshot below from an academic institution in the South East of Nigeria ALSO clearly states that the Yoruba words AKARA, MOIN MOIN, AGIDI, ELUBO are direct Yoruba words that Ibos have borrowed or LOANED from the Yorubas. The document published by the Ebonyi-based Ibo academic also indicates that Ibos have borrowed words that they don't have words for such as FOODS, CLOTHES, TECHNOLOGIES and more from other ethnic groups such as the Efiks, Igalas, Yorubas, and Hausas.

Cc: @Magnificenttop, I've just attached the screenshots below at last. Kindly read them and share with others.

I think you should watch the video again. He pointed out that even Yorubas are admitting your claim but he alighted the various soups and their Yoruba origin. Hardly was Lagos mentioned. I believe you were born and bred in Lagos like myself. Many of those soups mentioned actually have proverbs that mention them. Those proverbs weren't formed yesterday but 100s of years back which shows that we the younger Yorubas too are actually as naive as you strangers living among us.

I didn't reply you to make you change your mind actually but may be you should visit those places mentioned to see those things instead of you sitting in one place and making your assertions. Your assertions dont count though.

Romance › Re: These Fears Are Real At 33 by Konquest: 8:13pm On May 29, 2024*

Blessedpalms:
These fears are more than real the moment you hit 33. I looked in my mirror and saw my beards, becoming everything I feared.
I have never felt so lonely in a world filled with 7 billon humans. Too much worries

Maybe I should have took that risk, maybe I should have learnt something instead of just focusing on academics. I keep thinking about everything I could have done earlier. Maybe I should have started this 5 years ago at 28. Maybe I should have started that 7 years ago when I was 26.
But it's unfortunate those years are in the past now.

It's my fault, I was optimistic and thought things were going to be better. Government employment, good salary. I'll have a good career and my own family. Maybe a wife and 2 kids.
I just laughed at myself now,
This clown got No kids, no business
maybe that's even a blessing in disguise because how do I feed them?
I have always been afraid not being able to be there for people around me talk less of my kids. These fears are real because I can't even be there for myself.

I am not the type that blames anyone. I feel like life has a way of telling you optimism is weakness and a lie.
Don't get me wrong, Life is kind to many others
And this is where temptations comes, you start to see society and crime from a different perspective.
No one is free from this kinds of temptations

No one is free from this kinds of temptations.
This is why I find it hard to blame call girls and women in clubs acting a stripper. You don't know the kind of struggles that push people to where they are. I have grown and learnt not to make mockery of anyone. Some of them aren't even 33 yet. Alot of things tempt people to Fall. Many people with no real jobs.

Appprehsive about what to eat, appprehsive about health, Appprehsive about neighborhood asking for any fee, apprehensive about Rent, Appprehsive about aged parents. I don't know what tomorrow holds. You tell people to teach you things, they tell you, you're too old.

I am at a point where I am trying not fall. It's emotionally shattering. NO job, no real solid financial backing. It feels like only you in the world. you have to fight and figure it all out.
You think, Plan, write but see, it all feels like a meaningless scribble.

If you you are still 25 or 26 now is the time to do something. Just do something, forget about optimism. Optimism is deceptive.
Do everything not to stumble and fall in the future. Don't be bothered about what people think about what you do. You'll only be respected if you are able to care for yourself and people around you.

You're 33 and still a youth. I silently read your post and instinctively deduced that you are going through a turning point right now with all the headwinds you're running into. In the final analysis, YOU are the TOTAL sum of all your experiences in life and how you handle things from here on out will determine your success or failure down the road.

First off you have to engage in NOT just what you are passionate about, BUT also what will bring you sustainable daily income. Look for problems and find solutions to those problems on a medium to large scale and get paid for doing so.

Second, look at some of the most successful folks in any field of human endeavor that you like and mirror yourself after the top 3 folks in that field. Read books and autobiographies about what they did to get to where they are. Trust me, a vast number of folks who are millionaires and billionaires had it very rough while growing up. I read a testimonial post by a young lady in her early 30s here on NL last month who said she just made her first 1 million Naira. I asked her what she did to get to that level and she said she was into buying and selling of things and had lost her father at a young age so had to struggle through her education and didn't want to go into prostitution so she had to work hard. I gave her some more tips and insights of what to do to make her business grow sustainably and she was thankful for the advice.

Just because you said or posted here that you don't like "complaining" about situations (and truly I went through the first page of your posts) and found that you didn't use swear words or curse words. This is the major reason I decided to say my piece here from a fresh perspective and I know you'll gain unique insights from my years of experience as an older man.

Last but NOT least, your going through a turning point now at 33 is simply an opportunity for you NOT to let the social consciousness OR societal pressures to weigh you down, BUT get into self-introspection, set CLEAR targets or measurable goals with your pen and paper, and then unleash the unlimited opportunities in you that'll be for the benefit of all. Some people don't hit that point of millionaire or billionaire success UNTIL they are 40, 50, or 60 years old... Yes, That's a historical fact of life! Also remember, "Money doesn't change a man, it ONLY amplifies what is already there."

Read up on the "80/20 percent principle" otherwise known as the "Pareto Principle" to enable you to efficiently maximize your time. This is an advanced yet simple time management strategy when you get a hang of it.

Cheers.

P.S. Also, get (from a bookstore near you) a hard copy of the classic "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, where he clearly indicated the principles taken by America's early or pioneer USD millionaires from the 1800s right through to the early 1900s. I first read a hard copy of the book in 1995, and I still have the book among several business and finance-related books in my personal home library.

Culture › Re: Awori People: A Brief History And Belief Of The Original Indigenes Of Lagos by Konquest: 4:38pm On May 29, 2024*

Amb1045:
When Oduduwa was old and blind, his children were called together and ordered to go and found their own kingdoms and each was given a royal symbol. During this period, Ile-Ife was hit by a prolonged drought which lasted for many years, causing faming and diseases. Finally Agirilogbon, a babalawo of Oke-Itase in Ile-Ife, counseled emigration.

According to tradition, the children went northwards and southwards. Those who went south eastwards finally settled at Ado, Owo and Benin. In addition, some of the migrants had a change of rulers in their new homes. The date of this emigration is still a subject of academic controversy. However, it is clear that it was not later than 11th century A.D. It is also difficult to know how many kingdoms resulted from this exercise. As new kingdoms grew out of the old ones, descent from Oduduwa became the test of legitimacy among the old new kingdoms.

From this period of Oduduwa, migrations out of Ile-Ife became a permanent feature of the kingdom, Migrations also took place during the reign of Ooni Luwo who was a female ruler. Luwo was considered a disciplinarian and her rulership did not go down well with the people which led to migration. Also, the success of Lajamisan, a rich Ife bead trader to the Ooniship created political crisis which was some migrations. In addition, the deposition of Ogboru, a descendant of Lajamisan, who was barnish to Ife Odan for reigning too long but more probably for cruelty, led to emigration. Migrations southwards continued till the end of 19th century. These early southward migrant were the founders of Ife-Awori settlements in Lagos state.

Early migrations to the region of Lagos were political and economic in nature. For instance, Ogunfunminire the founder of Isheri and most other migrants from Ile-Ife were farmers. It was in the course of hunting expedition that some of them finally journeyed to Lagos. But the fact that some of the migrants were not alone but in groups, suggests political organizations which could be explained in terms of inland internal political crisis and population pressure. Before migrating to Isheri, Ogunfunminire consulted Ifa oracle which counseled migration.

One of the traditions suggests that Ogunfunminire and his friend Adeyemi Onikoyi left their homes on a hunting expedition and overstayed, thereby absenting themselves from the funeral of their father. Their relation thinking them dead, put their junior brother on the throne and this annoyed the two powerful princes, when they arrived. However, they were afraid of the great damage they might cause if they decided to fight, hence Olofin took the calabash which was willed to him by his late father. The tradition continued that he followed the movement of the ritual pot placed on water until it sank and they settled in the region

The Awori are a tribe of the Yoruba people speaking a distinct dialect of the Yoruba language. Olofin and his followers left the palace of King Oduduwa in Ile-Ife and migrated southward along a river. Oduduwa had given Olofin a mud plate and instructed him to place it on the water and follow it until it sank into the river. The plate is said to have stopped at various locations and finally sank at Idumota in the present day Lagos State in Nigeria. As they were to settle wherever it sank, the people were filled with joy when this finally happened. The name AWORI, which translates as "The plate sank", became the name by which the clan is known till today.

Several days after leaving Ile-Ife, the plate suddenly stopped near Olokemeji near present day Abeokuta. After seventeen days, it began moving again, only to stop at Oke-Ata for another seventeen days. At the end of seventeen days, the plate began moving again, only to stop again on the southern outskirts of present day Abeokuta, where it stayed for another seventeen days. At this location, some of Olofin's followers decided to remain, led by a man named Osho Aro-bi-ologbo-egan.

The plate continued downriver, stopping again at Isheri, where it remained for a much longer period of time. Olofin began instructing his followers to begin setting up a permanent settlement, but after 289 days (17 x 17) the plate began moving again. Olofin and a few followers followed the plate, while the rest of the group stayed behind. After two days the plate stopped briefly at Iddo in Lagos. At Idumota in central Lagos, it whirled around in the water and sank to the bottom. When Olofin returned to his group at Iddo, they are said to have asked him where the plate was. He answered "Awo Ti Ri" meaning "The plate has sunk". This is how the name Awori is said to have come into being.

Gossip House

https://www.pulse.ng/lifestyle/food-travel/awori-people-a-brief-history-and-belief-of-the-original-indigenes-of-lagos/
AWORI etymology is "Awo ti ri" meaning "the sacrificial plate has sank." Hence the famous indigenous AWORI subethnic group of the Yoruba people of Lagos State and Ogun State in Nigeria.

Foreign Affairs › Re: FINISH THEM,’ Nikki Haley Scribbles On Israeli Artillery Shell by Konquest: 3:39pm On May 29, 2024*

God1000:
Former U.S. presidential candidate Nikki Haley wrote “FINISH THEM” on an Israeli shell during a visit to the country this week.

A photograph of Haley making the inscription was shared Tuesday by Danny Danon, a member of the Israeli parliament and former ambassador to the United Nations, who accompanied Haley on her tour.

The Republican, who was America’s U.N. ambassador during the Donald Trump administration, was photographed bending down and writing on the shell with a purple marker. “‘Finish Them!’ This is what my friend, the ambassador Nikki Haley, wrote,” Danon said in his social media post.

Haley’s scrawl drew immediate blowback from human rights watchdogs, as Israel’s months-long assault on Gaza continues.

“Nikki Haley shows who she is,” said former Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth. “As Israeli bombardment has killed far more Palestinian civilians than combatants, she signs a bomb, ‘Finish them.’ Why not just sign, ‘I favor Israeli war crimes.'”

Haley visited the northern border of Israel, a day after an Israeli airstrike killed at least 45 civilians, including children, at a Palestinian refugee camp in Rafah in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Israel’s military said it had attacked a Hamas compound, killing two senior militants. After further details emerged, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu characterized the strike as “a tragic mistake” and announced an investigation.

The strike drew international condemnation with French President Emmanuel Macron calling for a halt to Israel’s Rafah operation, adding there were “no safe areas in Rafah for Palestinian civilians.”

According to estimates from Gaza, Israel has killed more than 35,000 people in its retaliatory assault, after Palestinian Hamas militants killed 1,200 Israelis and took hundreds of hostages during a violent attack on October 7 last year.

Haley abandoned her White House bid in March following significant losses in the Republican primary contests to Donald Trump. Despite a bitter contest, she said last week she would vote for Trump in November’s presidential election.

“What America needs to understand is, if Israel’s fighting our enemies, how can we not help them?” she told reporters this week. “America needs to do whatever Israel needs and stop telling them how to fight this war.”

“The sure way to not help Israel is to withhold weapons,” she added. “The sure way to not help Israel is to praise the ICC, the ICJ or any of those that are condemning Israel instead of condemning what happens.”

Brass is expected to get new leadership as its founders exit, but no announcement has been made to that effect. In the meantime, its new leadership has the task of rebuilding customer trust after a trying few months for the four-year-old startup.

Per TechCabal, the company reportedly has ₦2 billion in debt on its balance sheet, which its leadership cannot account for.

My take on this:
A so-called tech firm that has a reported N2 billion debt on its balance sheet is what Olumide and his team have acquired. Those loses are huge.

But Israeli Jews hate Christians
Still na Christians dey support Israel

Christians are so delusional
Checkout videos of Jews attacking Christians

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z581dbGqr08?si=vxCzKVvM4N2M1gXS

The visual images in the video are indeed gross. They say it's a fringe group among the Jews but how come the physical assaults and spitting incidents have persisted for years?

There's a wider covert support for these passive-aggressive incidents by the rogue elements among the Jewish dudes.

Romance › Re: Is this Enough Reason to Break up with him? by Konquest: 6:00pm On May 27, 2024

FeliciaOja:
I meet him July this year, everything about him is cool. My only worry is his fanatical support for arsenal which I consider the worst club on earth.

He keeps disturbing me of how his club will win the league, but whenever they lose he becomes super depressed and aggressive.

We have talked about this many times and he has sworn to change.
But this night he came back very late and was making so much noise, shouting and yelling
Then I googled scores and saw that his club lost today

I can't take it anymore
He is not the first guy I have dated that loved football. His own is that when his club loss it affects him very bad.

I have even suggested he should stop supporting arsenal but he won't listen.
After this night rubbish he just displayed I'm thinking of calling it quits.

Am I overreacting??

Bump.

This is an insightful thread.

People have to learn NOT to derive their medium to long-term joy OR happiness from soccer because on the field of play, any of those soccer team players can dissapoint soccer fans and leave you heart broken tbh. Ever since many of those boys started making millions from soccer in the 1980s, a couple of them started playing nonsense in the fields of play because that hunger to play well evaporated after making money from endorsements and weekly salaries.

I used to like watching soccer tournaments right from the 1980s Senior Soccer World Cups through to the 1990s (especially from the Atlanta, USA, 1994 Olympic Games Gold medal won by the spectacular display on the field of play by the Nigerian soccer team).

After series of loses during crucial soccer tournaments and my favorite teams lost, the scales finally fell off my eyes after due to emotional pain from those series of loses. Self-awareness enabled me to quickly develop more interest in other sports or hobbies that do NOT involve a lot team members. Often times, it just takes one, two or three young, overfed and non-motivated millionaires among those soccer players to spoil things for everyone! So, chess, golf, scrabble, archery, darts, basketball, martial arts, etc, are some of the sports or games that I gravitated towards when I dumped soccer in the VERY early 2000s. I have absolute peace of mind now.

Second, sports gambling is another thing that I strongly think lead a lot of these young folks to get intensely fanatical or emotional about soccer loses. It's really weird when you get to see the abnormal attitudes they often display while watching soccer, such as screaming excessively, kicking their legs into the air, using foul language or slur words.

I have NO regrets for gravitating away from soccer because of the negatives associated with it. I can even watch soccer matches as of now (without having throbbing chest aches) because I do NOT have intense emotional connections to it.

This is a stealing, tbh. Knocking off another young man's clothing line designs has got to be one of the most irresponsible, criminal things to do. It stiffles creativity, hence the law enforcement agencies MUST move right into Aba or any other locations where these fake cloths are being sold openly and get the criminals prosecuted in court.

The NAFDAC folks and security agencies have been stealthily arresting a lot of these fraudulent guys making fake malt drinks, fake wines, fake pharmaceutical drugs, repackaged expired foods, and more in Aba, Onitsha, Alaba International in Lagos, etc, so, there's a precedent of covert and overt actions against these creeps.

Politics › Re: Emirship Tussle: Kano Deputy Governor Apologises To NSA Ribadu by Konquest: 4:01pm On May 27, 2024

Goke7:
what you think is unwise is a mark of a true democrat, the man has shown he's more tolerant than all the people who cast aspersions on him. The only person I know who was taught a lesson on defamation by him was the late Raymond Dokpesi. In all he's a graceful person who has taken so much shit most politicians can never even take a pinch.

@Goke7,

I'm fully aware of the 2014/2015 multibillion Naira court case against DAAR Communications and Raymond Dokpesi over the criminal defamation of character of Bola Tinubu which was later settled out of court after the judge found DAAR guilty of spreading falsehoods in the serial documentaries on AIT and ordered the management of DAAR Communications to apologize to Bola Tinubu for defaming him, and this is why I benchmarked in my original post, the timeframe to "within the last 10 years" of relentless online and offline defamation.

I agree that in some instances, it's noble and good to be tolerant, BUT in the information age or Internet age, when there's relentless criminal defamation and spread of outright falsehoods spread really fast online and offline, you have to act FAST to counter misleading information, otherwise the general public would assume that those falsehoods that have been left to fester without being addressed are TRUE. A Professional PR maxim indicates that: Perception is NOT reality, PERCEPTION is Stronger than REALITY."

DesignMaestro:
According to your own level of reasoning, he would have been a wise man if he had been barking like dog for every stone thrown at him? An attitude you called 'unwise' is what has taken him to where he is today.

Since the last 10 years as you said, where are those that did everything to defame him and where is he today?

If you want to achieve your goal in life, be 100% focused and completely deaf to detractors

I understand what you are driving at here, BUT I disagree to a significant degree with the last point of yours (because we are in the Internet age slash social media age and YOU cannot be completely DEAF to all your detractors, some who have even been calling for a change of government through a military coup!

Get this VERY clear so that you do not misquote me (or put words into my mouth).
NEVER did I imply in my original post that you quoted here that "he should bark like a dog for every stone thrown at him."

It's a globally known fact that in professional Public Relations, YOU do NOT allow any criminal defamation or any negative news about your company or self to fester for too long. The public will end up thinking that the FALSE rumors are true. Perception is NOT reality... indeed PERCEPTION is STRONGER than reality!

If Nuhu Ribadu as the NSA didn't see how highly dangerous and incendiary the false allegations made by the Kano guy were, he wouldn't have threatened to sue the Deputy-Governor of Kano and asked for a public apology which he promptly got within 24 hours.

Reno also posted a message few months ago about how the relentless negative information being deliberately spread online and offline by a section of the opposition to tarnish the government were damaging to Tinubu's government.

Recently too, I saw a video where Tinubu said he doesn't watch or follow Social Media anymore because of the insults he received during the election cycle and I was stunned and a little embarrassed because as the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, such comments shouldn't emanate from him. Anybody that is responsible for deliberately pushing out fake videos and falsehoods about him with the intent to damage his reputation and mislead the public should be tracked and punished after appearing in any court of law. Period.

I don't like when people who are relentlessly criminally defamed in the public space put up a "politically correct" image and leave everything to God or whatever! There are laws worldwide that deal with online and offline defamation and that should be tested. Professional PR specialists will tell you how NOT addressing specific such as false rumors (such as those who daily call him a druggie or drug baron on NL and other online platforms) on time lead to the festering of the falsehoods and they become very difficult to correct.

Till date, as an older man who witnessed the years of military dictatorships back in Nigeria, I appreciate the role he (Tinubu) played back in the military dictatorship years especially in the early 1990s as a pro-democracy activist alongside other folks (Uni students, Wole Soyinka, lawyers, great journalists like Bayo Onanuga, Kunle Ajibade, Odion Akhaine, former Governor Kayode Fayemi, who was in charge of "Radio Kudirat" which was originally broadcasting live from the headquarters of the BBC at Bush House in London, etc).
Being politically correct in the Internet age where criminal defamation, fake videos and fake news go viral isn't the best strategy.

This is the reason why Professor Wole Soyinka emphasized strongly at a publicized BBC conference that took place in Lagos a few years back that "fake news" could trigger a 3rd World War. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) too had been a victim of fake news via cloned Websites that looked exactly like that of BBC. It wasn't until 21 days later that BBC got to know about the cloned BBC Websites that were being used to spread fake news worldwide. There's a Global Disinformation Team at BBC today because they realize how highly destructive criminal defamation and FAKE news can be to businesses and for global security.

What makes this worse is the children could not communicate adequately to one another, especially the deaf mutes.

People are evil. Of all crimes to commit it is pressing blind girls' breasts. Then when you finish you will go and press deaf girls' breast and suck them. Oloshi oloriburuku

This is where standard CCTV cameras are needed in such institutions for the physically challenged tbh. Such devices would easily smoke out any potential creepy sex offenders or perverts for prosecution in the courts of law.

I've been reading of this kind of stories for years now (as far back as the 1990s), and the authorities must wake up to standardize all institutions for the visually and auditorilly challenge people.

Politics › Re: Paternity Saga: Dora Ezinne Kayode Demands Sons’ DNA Tests From Olanrewaju by Konquest: 10:44am On May 27, 2024*

EkiranAlexmedia:
The marital battle between Nigerian striker Olarenwaju Kayode and his estranged wife, Ezinne Kayode, has taken an ugly turn, with the latter instituting a legal action against her husband for allegedly claiming to be in possession of the negative DNA results of their three sons, Jason, Jayden and Jamin, SUNDAY PUNCH reports.

An enraged Dora, who is demanding the immediate issuance of a disclaimer, said she had to finally toe that path after Kayode’s claim about their children’s paternity went viral on various social media platforms on Saturday.

She buttressed her stance with a letter from her legal representatives dated May 24, 2024, titled ‘Re: Dissemination of false allegations concerning purported DNA test results of the three children of marriage’ and addressed to Kayode at 14, Tulip Road, Peacock Beach Estate, Lekki, Lagos.

The letter read in part, “It has come to our client’s attention that since May 24, 2024, various blogs and online platforms have been disseminating salacious stories about alleging results of a DNA reveal that none of the three children born during your marriage to our client belong to you.

“This scandalous and defaming story has spread rapidly, causing severe embarrassment to our client and children. Our client has reason to believe that these baseless, humiliating allegations were contrived and strategically planted by you across various media outlets with the malicious intent of tarnishing her reputation and causing irreparable harm to innocent children.”

The purported report allegedly made available to the media accused Ezinne of fraud, cheating on him with Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, stealing his two Mercedes SUVs to finance the pastor’s lifestyle, and abducting their three sons.

The allegations were extensively trashed by Ezinne in a subsequent post on Instagram, decrying the purported DNA test results and asking Kayode to make them public and state the hospital where they were conducted.
