“Preparations are in top gear for the commencement of production in Dangote Refinery, as the petrochemical company has received the fourth crude shipment of, one million barrels of bonny light crude supplied by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), and expecting the fifth crude shipment, anytime from now.

A whopping annual revenue of $27 billion!! And 20% of this company belongs to FG.

The shares of this company stock will be listed on Nigeria Stock Exchange so that an average Nigerian can have a piece of the company.

This is a huge milestone and I am very proud of everyone who made this possible. What seemed important in the eyes of the unpatriotic naysayers became a reality and they are still in shock at the audacity of hope that this huge project will become a reality.

Congrats to the vision bearer, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, GCON, President Buhari, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other patriotic Nigerians.

They have so far imposed restriction on free movement of goods and persons, forcing people to pay levies before doing so, residents said.

Terrorists, locally dubbed as bandits, have again carved out a territory in Nigeria's Niger State, imposing taxes on residents and some Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

The bandits have reportedly occupied Dogon-Dawa, Kurege, Kangarewa and Mangoro communities among several others; “governing” the entire areas according to their own rules.


They have so far imposed restriction on free movement of goods and persons, forcing people to pay levies before doing so, residents said.

"Last Sunday we were forced to cough out N3.5million levy, before the vehicles conveying our luggage were allowed to leave," a displaced person told journalists.

The bandits have also imposed levy on crops, forcing farmers to pay before they would be allowed to harvest farm produces.


"The situation has worsened such that even IDPs who want to leave the area have to pay certain levy before they can go.

"They (bandits) have turned the area into their own territory, operating unchallenged," according to a local source.

Vehicles exiting the area are charged to pay N200,000 to N300,000. In some cases three vehicles combined are compelled to pay N1million before leaving.

When contacted on the matter, the spokesperson for the police in Niger State, Wasiu Abiodun, promised to investigate and get back.

STOP PROMOTING IGBO CULTURE, SAYS DEIN OF AGBOR
The Dein of Agbor Kingdom, His Royal Majesty Dr. Benjamin Ikenchukwu Keagborekuzi I, has enjoined his subjects to stop promoting Igbo culture, describing the Agbor culture as ‘unique and peculiar’.

IMG_9531 STOP PROMOTING IGBO CULTURE, SAYS DEIN OF AGBOR

The Dein gave the admonition at his palace recently while giving his royal blessings to the new Iregwa of Ogbemudien Community, Pa. Bogi Abagi. He called on the good people of Agbor Kingdom to join hands with him to effect the changes he desires to be in place. According to him, “I am back and happy to be in the midst of my subjects. This kind of gathering gives me joy because it is an opportunity for me to learn more from my people. There is room for change, therefore my wish and desire for my subjects is that they adopt and respect every change that is being made. Going through the history of Agbor Kingdom, one will thank the gods for wisdom. Thus, everyone will join hands with me to reposition things the way they ought to be in order to restore our lost glory”.



He called on all Agbor indigenes to preserve Agbor culture and stop promoting Igbo culture. His words, “stop giving our children Igbo names. The native names given to our children should be pronounced and written in Agbor language and not in Igbo or Ika language as Agbor has its own unique language. The Igbo red cap should also be dropped as it is not a native cap for Agbor Kingdom. Soon, I will start driving away my palace chiefs who are fond of coming to the palace, wearing in red caps. Agbor traditions should be respected and preserved for future generations. Parents and the elderly should teach our children and the youths the culture of Agbor”.

The Odion of Agbor Kingdom, Chief Julius Ochei who led the new Iregwa and the people of Ogbemudien to the Dein’s Palace for blessing, said the Iregwa title goes to the oldest man in Ogbemudien Community, stating that it is the turn of Pa. John Bogi Abagi who is 89 years and the oldest man. The Iregwa, according to Chief Ochie is the traditional head of Ogbemudein Community in Agbor Kingdom.

In a chat with Ika Weekly Newspaper Reporter, the Chairman of Ogbemudien Community, Hon. Simon Okpali lauded the Dein for his wealth of knowledge and prayed the good Lord to empower him. He expressed his confidence in the new Iregwa of Ogbemudien to lead well and thanked the Dein for his blessings.

Julius Ehiabor, the Onu-otu of Ogbemudein Community, on his part, said Pa. Abagi leadership is good and that the good people of Ogbemudien Community are happy. He prayed God to give the new Iregwa good health and long life.

Mr. Johnbull Okwuogori Aghaulor felicitating with the Iregwa, appealed to him to continue to lead them in truth. He prayed God to bless the Dein of Agbor, the Iregwa, Ogbemudein Community and Agbor Kingdom.

Responding, Pa. Abagi thanked the Dein, saying that his joy knows no bounds, while soliciting for the cooperation of every son and daughter of Ogbemudein Community to enable him give the Dein the needed support to move Agbor Kingdom forward.

Good day nairalanders. Pls if you are looking into dealing with prop firms, pls do well to avoid consummate traders. Their customer service is terrible on all their channels and they manipulate your trades, add trades from their backend and say you have breached their drawdown rule. Your account is gone.

Ugbodu Community - Yoruba settlements in Aniocha North LGA.



Culled from the Ugbodu Development Union (U.D.U)

On a courtesy visit to the area, the following was gathered from King Ayo and Prince Adebowale Ochei of the Royal house:



Traditionally, the area was divided into a number of societies, Some of which include The following:



According to Ugbodu.net the community's online website, there have been two dynasties of Obas and Olozas (Probably culled from the Yoruba and Benin terms: Olaja, Olareja, Onoja, Onogie Etc) who have ruled the communities at different points in history.

Interesting read. Recently, I learned of the Ebu tribe in Oshimili North of Delta State whose language consist of roughly 50% Igala dictions. Strange settings in Nigeria.

zero8zero:
Oduduwa Race And Family; The Olukumi Clan of Yoruba in Delta State.

The Olukumis are a branch of the Anioma ethnic group. Anioma people exists as part of Edo and Delta state.
The Anioma people are a unique group of people with 12 different languages which can be traced to: Igbo, Edo and
Yoruba.
The Olukumis are an ancient fragment of the Yoruba people, located in Aniocha North local government of Delta in Nigeria who migrated from Owo/Akure in the current day Ondo State of Nigeria.
They occupy eight communities in the west of the river Niger, and are referred to as the Odiani Clan in Aniomaland. Olukunmi towns and communities include; Ukwu Nzu ( Eko Efun), Ugbodu, Ubulubu, Idumu ogo, among others.

History considers the Odianis as the Yoruba clans in the Anioma cultural area. While, Ugbodu town is by virtue of history the headquarters of the Olukumi people. The Ugbodu town is headed by a traditional ruler named as the Obi of Ugbodu. The current Obi is H.R.M. Oloza Ayo Isinyemeze.

The Olukumi villages select leaders through the use of Okpala Obi system, which is considered as a borrowed culture from their neighbors. The system is a fusion of the Obi (Kingship) rulership system from the Benin kingdom, as well as the Okpala (Gerontocracy) system gotten from the Igbos.
The Odianis today are known as Anioma people in Delta State together with the Ezechime who migrated from Edo land and Idumuje clan who migrated from Esan land.
The Anioma people are those from Aniocha (Enuani and Olukumi), Ndokwa (Ukwuani), Ika, and Oshimili areas of Delta State.

Fisfrank:
He is saying the truth, I'm from there, he just made some few mistakes, the odiani head is nkwu-nzu, my dad is from nkwu-nzu why my mum is from ugbodu

zero8zero:
It is funny how people say we are closer to Igalas than to Yoruba.
By proximity, we are closer to our Igala, edoid and igboid neighbors. By ancestry, we are Yoruboid. Our ancestors migrated from Owo in Ondo State. We have never denied who we are.

UncleAyo:
The word Igala is a Yoruba word and Yoruba origin called antelope.

I have been expecting you to shift the goal post and drag the issue of kwara state into the conversation since you failed woefully in your attempted attempt to malign the yorubas race with the result of the just concluded Kogi state governorship election.

I wonder why it took you so long

You have been searching for the suitable comment to inject kwara into the conversation lol

You guys are very predictable!

Kwara state is not a SW state. Even though parts of the state belong to yorubas just like Kogi state.

I don't know what you people mean by saying yorubas should chase Fulanis away and take over the whole of kwara state.
Why didn't you guys chase away those non Igbos in delta state since we have some Igbos speaking deltas?

Tell you and your goons to stop bringing up this stale narratives about yorubas not taking over kwara state from Fulanis.
Your arguments regarding the illorin issue doesn't hold water. Kwara is more peaceful than any state in the SE at the moment.
Kwara state has 16 local government areas, 13 out of the 16 have yorubas as the LG chairmen. Yoruba is the major language in illorin today, even in the Emir palace.

Have you even ever bn to the emir's palace before?

Cryofigbos:
My friend u r mentally derailed so I won't argue with u but rather enlighten u and I don't even want to know where u r from, u just stepped out of line by trying to give me another identity, over the years b4 u were miserably brought to dis life we have been yoruba's just like the
Ijebus
Egbas
Ijeshas
Aworis etc, irrespective of the geographical manipulations kwara state and kogi state house the yoruba ppl in middle belt with great history, u can tell yourself anywhere u r from but not me no be by force coz we Egbe in okun r complete yoruba and we have history, yoruba is yoruba and theres nothing like yoruba speaking in d case of okun, like u said ability to speak a language like an igbo person or hausa will understand yoruba does not make them 1 but with dialect, our traditional rulers are called oba like in every yoruba lands,our names, traditions, food, gods dey serve, history etc, there r even okuns in ekiti that's to tell u having some okuns in kogi is geographical manipulations, we r not 1 of those tribes u mention that stand alone, from here to Benin republic to other countries that as well house yoruba tribes, if u google yoruba race it will show u different countries the yoruba's are domiciled, not to talk of okun, from my town to osun state is less than 30mins that's to tell u we r just an extension.
I can prove it to u that u r mentally derailed and u can as well discover that yourself by asking yourself where then are okun from if they r not yoruba?


With dis I will leave u to ur gutter believe to continue feeding them to only u and ur family.......ashiere na u wan tell me my tribe, what audacity, una go just come online like say una get sense saying something u can't defend, if person dey deceive u sef is ur brain dead to think properly
So I bear yoruba name for nothing, my towns and villages r in historical yoruba names, we r ruled by oba, my dialect is yoruba infused......oloriburuku ni bobo yi sha, don't just reply without reasonable evidence..

Christistruth03:
If you don't know History ask those who do

The British fought the Yoruba Ruler of ilorin called Balogun Inakoju alanamu in 1900 to take Over Ilorin

The Emir had already been defeated and deposed by him and his followers

Balogun alanamu was the Yoruba Ruler of ilorin

The rest is Tribal Politics

There are some Historians who even claim the real reason the British reinstated the Emir in Ilorin was because he was the one that gave Lord Lugard the information that was used to Track down and kill the fleeing Sultan of Sokoto Caliphate Attahiru and his Jihadist Army at Gombe
So the British reinstated hin as Emir of Ilorin as a reward

Many Fulani even see the Emir of Ilorin as a Traitor who sold out the Sultan of Sokoto Attahiru and his Sokoto Caliphate to the British

The Yorubas also deposed the Emir of Ilorin in 1934 he fled to Kaduna and was again reinstated by the British after 2 years

LegendHero:
Below is a survey done by the European Union (EU) home office and while gathering the Black/African race survey question, Yoruba is being spelled out.

What could be the reason for this? Could it be due to the number of Yorubas in EU countries or Yoruba people are so famous to act as the anchor for the Black race?

Dear Seun Osewa

I'd waste no time in going straight to the point of this thread.

For the umpteenth time, I was unduly banned for responding to a provocative comment directed at my person. Your Mods, after reporting the user several times, looked the other way and banned me for responding in kind to the said comment.

Upon serving my ban, I deliberately refused to log back into the forum, given you and your moderators appear to have totally lost control of your creation. Today, I wanted to deactivate my handle and noticed that isn't possible.

Nairaland isn't what it used to be and may never be, because you've chosen to be such a coward in wheilding the big stick against those who violate the same rules you set for the forum. I have contributed in no small measure to the discussion here, with numerous personally written articles which I published nowhere else but here. The days when we had real debates here, before the birth of TAN, ATIKULATES, and then IPOB, and OBIDIENTS.

All I requested was the application of your rules in equal measure across board. You have totally failed in this responsibility and I sincerely doubt you plan to do any better. If you can't enforce your own rules, then leave the field open to members to deal with the stench of their own farts.

Whatever it is, enable those of us who desire to leave the forum to do so in peace as anything otherwise is equivalent holding us hostage. Let the dogs you have created by your aloofness have the forum. I and a couple other persons are NO LONGER INTERESTED.

Peace. ✌️

Eriokanmi:
Block their numbers and see that source of your blessing block too. No be curse.

Many bread winners don't seem to realise that God has placed them in that position so they too can be of help to people around them, including their siblings . The moment they stop, either due to their wife's or husband's or friend's bad advice, the blessing stops too.

Till date, i still send money to my older siblings and God's help and blessing never stop.

LagosG:
Mine is actually healthy cos we dey always do checks and balances and also do interventions for the most ridiculous issues lol. We're so close we've all watched the same tv series and there must be more than 100 different ones not counting movies regardless of whether we're together or not. Not like we don't have our bad moments o but they never last past a couple of days

There's just three of us. I'm the first. I may have bad habits but with the way they look up to me, I just can't afford any bad blood, you feel me?
