colp2015:
Your comment forced a reaction from me.

I have a blueprint to get Trend Marking System into the hands of 50Million financial markets traders at the rate of $5,000.00.

TMS has reached 90% developmental stage and what remains before the launch are payment gateway and a few business nuances bordering on language translation for the Installation Guide, User's Guide, Web Development, Global Payment Gateway, and tying up some loose ends to insulate TMS from duplication.

I am pushing to achieve my goal within a period of 5 years after which I intend to create a global ATM Card that will rival Mastercard or Visa.

As it is, work has commenced in a remote location in Nigeria with a project codenamed Capital Growth. The project is expected to yield a minimum of 75Billion Naira after which I will move my family to the United States and then float a Charting Company like Tradingview.com and smarttrader.com.

I am not thinking of stocks or paper asset to hit $100B. It is possible with TMS.

Think of TMS as a private minting machine. TMS will be to the public what personal computer is to the public.

There's no way to make it happen in Nigeria. Our government will kill the initiative.
Hi are you say that TMS will cost $5000 to purchase?

Will TMS be ready in 2021?
Thanks.

I am from ugborodo which you people call escravos, we have beach and seashore just like Lagos. And ugborodo is part of warri, we are under the warri south west local government.
So Saying warri is not located close to the see is not true.
Ugborodo is the real name not escravos, escravos is a Portugal name n it means slave.
^^^^^
^^^^^
What a coincidence that you are from Ugborodo @Nairalandmonica.
I have Itsekiris as friends as well... even from back in my university days
in Nigeria but you are even the first Itsekiri from Ugborodo that I
am interacting with online so that makes you unique... and I will
be interacting with you some more to get some first-hand info
about your area.


Yes I know that the oil and gas-rich Ugborodo is the real name of your place and that Portuguese
name called Escravos means "slave."

The Ugborodo people originally migrated over 500 years ago from
Ugboland in the Ilaje axis of Ondo State and Ilaje-Yorubas and Itsekiris of Ugborodo
are direct cousins... and share a COMMON BORDER.

Thanks for expanciating on the close proximity between Warri Town
and Ugborodo to the sea. I only emphasised on Ugborodo over
Warri City because I think Ugborodo is a distinct location from Warri City
... and Ugborodo is much closer to the sea axis.


==> https://guardian.ng/features/culture/ugborodo-is-not-escravos/

By the way, what is the latest on the Ogidigben Gas Industrial Park in Itsekiriland
that GEJ unfortunately ran away from commissioning in 2015 after a
threat was made by some Ijaw militants to him that he should not come to
commission it. I was highly dissapointed in GEJ for not going after everybody
was expecting him and former Gov. Uduahan even placed adverts in the
major newspapers on on TV welcoming him to Delta State.

Ogidigben will put Itsekiriland and Delta State on the major global
map as an export hub for gas which is the major raw material
for jumpstarting any petrochemical industry.


I wish you all the best... my brother.

Ok, so why did they build river port in an area surrounded by sea in the first place.
Because I know a deep sea port can actually be built in warri and port Harcourt.
^^^^^
^^^^^
Let me just say it started with the British colonialists who built ports such as Burutu
in Delta State and did NOT care to build or have the foresight to build any Deep Sea ports.

The British were content to just use pontoon boats to move goods from offshore as well into the
hinterlands and were not keen on carrying out major maritime port developments.

So it behoves on Nigerians with foreign technical partners to build all the needed Deep Sea Ports
in Nigeria as of now.

^^^^^
^^^^^
1. Port Harcourt is far from the sea or ocean because it is inland.
But you are right that a Deep Sea port can be built in Rivers State...
in a place like Bonny which is much closer to the sea.


2. As for Warri too... it is not located close to the sea, but a location
in Delta state like Igborodo[i.e., Escravos in Itsekiriland] is on the sea shore.


3. Bayelsa also has the proposed Agge Deep Seaport project in Sagbama/Ekeremor
because it is located around the sea or ocean. Bayelsa is the BIGGEST GAS producer
in Nigeria so the project will be viable if militancy or pirate attacks can be
curbed by the Navy and the locals so as NOT to scare away investors


4. Same thing with Ondo State's Deep Sea port project being proposed to be
sited at Araromi in Ilaje local government area of Ondo. Araromi is directly
located on the sea shore and is a major oil and gas producing community
in Yorubaland.

brother why are you wasting your energy educating him. Meanwhile ibaka seaport is no longer in exiting is Ibom you can read this lines below; First we need to understand one thing, there is difference btw ibaka seaport and ibom deep seaport. Ibaka was akpabio means to extort money the approval was audio and it was to be located in oron .. ibom deep seaport was initiated by the present govt since 2015 and is located in okposu in Ibeno L.G.A. ibaka is dead and dusted while ibom deep seaport is on course and its PPP. One thing I like about aks is the run the state as a state city in Nigeria the don't like weitin for federal governments but it's just that you can establish a seaport without government approvals. I hope this help
^^^^^
^^^^^
Really?... You know I didn't realise that Ibaka and Ibom are 2 different Deep Sea projects. I
subconsciously just thought it is the same Deep Sea project Godswill Akpabio started that Udom
Emmanuel is also working on. Thanks again for pointing this out for everyone!


Ibeno has a very beautiful beach setting that I would love to visit. I usually follow
Akwa Ibom State's fantastic developmental activities online/YouTube starting from
former Gov. Akpabio and now Udom Emmanuel. My first visit to Essien Udim was in 1999
when I worked and lived in PH, and went in the company vehicles to the home town of a late staff
of the company... then Akwa Ibom State had no major developments... But I'M BLOWN
away by the dynamism of the past governors since 2000 to transform the state.


It shows that there are some priceless gems among the PDP and APC Governors...
while some are just clueless among both political parties.

Thanks again.

U just said a plain daft thing.

The same calabar n Warri ports... claim that they cannot berth ships because they need dredging has started receiving vessels since lagos ports have become heavily overstretched
^^^^^
^^^^^
Because the 2 river ports of Warri and Calabar have just been dredged... and it is
very good to decongest Lagos ports. They will need dredging again after a year
at expensive cost. The Calabar port was a political port that was simply built to
decongest Lagos of the cement armada glut in the 1970s and it was built with
a foreign loan by OBJ from one of the European countries.


Calabar riverport is NOT a waste though as it can be converted to a fishing port
where packaged fish can be exported according to maritime experts.

The major solution will be Ibaka Deep Seaport and Lekki Deep Seaport.
Even Cross River State is working on a Deep Seaport as well... and with Governor Ben Ayade's
friendly relationship with the FG, that too can come on stream ASAP.

U are heavily confused.

[s]Onne port complex was a massive port being used by easterners for decades until 2004 wen OBJ converted a large portion of it to a naval base. Easterners do not buy cars in lagos, we mostly buy cars in Onne seaport in rivers state.[/s] Ports in rivers state still shop out 2 million barrels of crude oil daily back to back so dont sell me that useless story that eastern ports are unviable.

At the end of last year, one of the biggest shipping companies on earth called Maersk announced that any of their cargo coming from some listed parts of asia will now dock in Onne seaport and as we speak their are docking there. They forcefully took this action against the FG cuz they were tired of waiting 25 days in lagos waters before theres space for their ships to dock

How dare u call fully functional ports unviable, who made it unviable after we in the east used it for decadeshuh Receive sense oga

Eastern ports were closed up by the federal government of nigeria..

What are you going on about here?

I was CLEARLY refering to the unviable Warri, Onitsha and Calabar River Ports that need
expensive constant dredging in my post.
On the other hand, Onne is a major OIL EXPORT TERMINAL
but it is a RIVER PORT not a SEAPORT it is located on the BONNY RIVER ESTUARY.

For your information... @Honchogee... WHO IS FROM the SS [i.e., Akwa Ibom if you check the
fantastic posts in his profile page] just posted on this very page that he WORKED at Onne Port
and he said here that Onne is NOT a SEAPORT! Indeed Onne is a RIVER PORT. Onne Port
Complex is situated on the Bonny River Estuary along Ogu Creek.

Just for emphasis...

Onne Port Complex is located on the Bonny River Estuary along Ogu Creek and serves as a Jetty in the

the shallow rivers they are located on that need expensive constant dredging. Ships only go there when they
get dredge, and have to be desilted again after 1 year at great cost.

1 river port also exists in the SE[Onitsha] along the River Niger.

Warri, PH, Onitsha and Calabar are RIVER PORTS not SEAPORTS.
They all are located along shallow RIVERS and not along the deep SEA or OCEAN.
Because of the shallow river beds that need constant dredging, all the river ports have not
been viable and have ran at loses because big ships don't want to go there.

Only Lagos can be classified as a SEAPORT. Onne Port Complex is
situated on the Bonny River Estuary along Ogu Creek and serves as a Jetty.

Hello welcome to Whatsapp marketing strategy that can help you grow your business and make more sales


Did you know that WhatsApp is the fastest growing social media networking app in the world?
As the largest messaging application, WhatsApp has more than 1.3 billion active users globally, up from over 1 billion MAU in February 2016. And businesses have been using it as part of their communications solutions.

Let me start by introducing myself...My name is Uzoh Romanus, I am a social media marketer and also into CPA marketing… WhatsApp offers direct communication between you and your customers via concise but helpful messages.

Kindly follow the following steps

(1) Build a Contact Database:

What do you do once you have started building a phone list?

Whatsapp has a higher engagement rate than Facebook. That means you need to offer users, great content on relevant topics to ensure that they are engaged with you.

Here is a strategy for creating an effective WhatsApp group
�Create a Whatsapp group (you can add up to 256 users).

�Give the group a name. Ensure the group title reflect the name of your business. E.g Digital Marketing Community

�Add your brand logo as the group icon if you have one.

�Create group guiding policies. This will ensure people aren’t posting things not In line with the sole aim and purpose of the group. Once you notice folks posting inappropriate content in the group, you can remove such person immediately.

�Engage users with useful content, giveaways, freebies etc.

I will continue next
have a happy day
Brilliant post!

of Abidjan.

So I wonder why that fool will be spreading fake information
that Yorubas don't travel. Some of the Ibos are just plain ignorant
and they think they are the only ones who move out of their area!
the reason they even move out is to go and look for survival in
other people's lands. Even in Ibadan, you will see Ibos trying to
survive there then the Ibo OP who is from Anambra has the audacity
to insult Ibadan people by taking a small part of Ibadan to represent
the whole of Ibadan.

Africaman:
Hello @Konquest,
I'll try to answer some of the issues/questions you raised in the bolded portion of your message above. I know it wasn't addressed to me, but I do find it interesting.

I remember reading about some pre-Oduduwa traditions in Ile-Ife, which stated that there were 99 pre-Oduduwa kings who reigned in Ife. This was referred to as the "Ikedu" traditions. I don't remember the publication title or date. When Oduduwa reached Ile-Ife, he was said to have overthrown a man called Oreluere aka Agbonniregun, who was the ruler at the time.

However, Prof Banji Akintoye, the Asiwaju Yoruba also addressed some of these issues in his Yoruba history book published back in 2010. The book's complete title is : "A History of the Yoruba People Hardcover by Stephen Adebanji Akintoye ". In the book, professor Akintoye said that Oduduwa and his followers came from the hills surrounding Ife, that they were not from Egypt/Sudan or elsewhere. He said that Ile-Ife was originally composed of 13 autonomous villages, each with its own ruler. Those villages formed a loose alliance, to which Oreluere was the head of the alliance. He also described some particularly vivid battles in which Oduduwa and his followers defeated the alliance, took power and formed a centralised kingdom. He then had his children/followers/allies carry out similar operations across the Yoruba-Ewe area of West Africa.

I would view the 13 village alliance as something similar to ECOWAS and its 15 member states, albeit on a much smaller scale. When Oduduwa took over, I would view that as almost similar to a military take over, with military administrators being appointed over the states.

Just my view.

ciao

@Africaman
Hello to you.

Awesome... Thanks for this feedback on early Yoruba
history! Prof Akin Osuntokun even said there were already
existing or autochtonous communities in the Ondo
axis at the time of Oduduwa's arrival so Oduduwa's arrival
simply refers to the beginning of a new Dynasty and NOT
that he was the PROGENITOR of the Yorubas. A new Dynasty
he said should not be confused with the beginning or
origins of the people! He was the one who first opened
my eyes to the real history of the Yoruba area in 2004
because I didn't know that FACT before.


I will get Prof Banji Akintoye book "A History of the Yoruba
People" Hardcover by Stephen Adebanji Akintoye that you
recommended.


I should be able to get it at MMA2 or Lagos Airport Hotel
Book stores when I pass through. I have seen some massive history books
on sale on a wide range of issues at MMA2 from all over the world before.

He is a well-spoken historian of repute in Nigeria who I
have heard speak on Channels TV online before.

Incidentally he will be on Channels TV with Lado Akeredolu-Ale
at 9 PM [Nigerian time] today on the program called NEWSNIGHT.
I saw a preview of the program and look forward to watching it
online. Very brilliant man who also speaks extempore or offhand
with facts and figures.

I first came across the reference to Ikedu traditions in 1991 in a
magazine called roots and I shred the scanned copy with just
2 people on NL. If I check my Google Drive later on I can share
that article with you.


There is indeed more to know via archaelogy and radio carbon 14 dating
and also DNA sequencing on the history of the Yoruba people pre- and post
Oduduwa.

Thanks again for the feedback!


P.S. Don't forget to watch Channels at 9AM Nigerian time
for the interview with Prof. Banji Akintoye tonight.

@aikman
Are you sure you were in Lagos on that day of the Ikeja Military Cantonment explosion
or you were told by someone?


I was in the Ajao Estate axis near the International Airport on that day and the
entire Maryland, Mafoluku, Isolo/Ajao Estate axis shook VIOLENTLY like there was
a major earthquake. The initial story was that their was a military coup and the
coupists were shelling Lagos metropolis to resist Federal troops... only to hear
later that it was old bombs that were carelessly stored in the Army armoury
that exploded. Former Governor Tinubu, General Emdin and another lower
ranking officer came on live TV later in the evening to inform everyone in
Yoruba, English, and Hausa languages that it was bombs that exploded!


The Ikeja Military Cantonment Armoury explosions were VERY LOUD and shook the entire Lagos State for
several minutes with massive underground shockwaves... even the shockwaves were felt in Ogun State!
I was in Nigeria on the day of the explosions.


Anyway, the Abule Ado explosion had to do with a gas explosion along the System 2B

@ Konquest,


Thank you for the compliment. I am really flattered. Although, on the account of a person, known as Boye, who took dna test as you mentioned can either be Yoruba or not who doesn't have no genetic link with, modern day Israelis,doesn't null the fact, that many Yoruba do have migrants status, which is found in families panegyric and Ifaodu corpus.

Besides, I don't see a person or 100+ people's DNA as the basis for genetic link of a diverse ethnic group as Yoruba who are basically bounded by religion of Ifaodu. The Yoruba people,are of both inclusive of the migrants group , who brought the knowledge of Ora to West Africa. Take for instance, the Yorubas in Americas,who have diverse Dna link to all people across the globe. One out of millions of them, is Charnissa Warren; an American woman with 36% dna link to Yoruba bloodline while she has both Neanderthal and Denisovan genetic link.

Therefore,it is pertinent to affirm here that, there are tons of books written about Yoruba ethnic groups, Kemet-Egypt, Ethiopia,Sudan kingdoms as well as Mesopotamia people in the era that thr place was a fertile land for cultivation. So, in Ypryuba culture, migrants comes into such folds, in which the earliest settlers are the aboriginal groups, who in this context became assimilated group with these migrants people because of religion, newer civilization and conquest( Your moniker Konquest grin )

Therefore, I am familiar with the following set of people in Yoruba's traditional oral history:

1. The migrants group that came with the knowledge of a religion called Ifaodu,that is centered on Ela(Orunmiela) ideology. This group call themselves as people who came from Oru~ Ora .And this group understand the name of God as Ela from Oru nmiela. This name meaning,‘ the light of God, wisdom, power, owner of mankind, destiny decider,one who mankind worship early morning when one wakes up etc,who created earth, mankind to populate the world.

2. The group of migrants that have a knowledge centered on Oba ti Ala, who waged war against the first migrants group because of religious difference as well as well the rightful one to the throne . This second group have knowledge of God known as ,one who reign over as ‘Ala'. Interestingly, meaning, ‘The one who is clothed in holiness, purity or white~ light God'.

3. The aboriginal group that were met or captured or who voluntarily were accepted and assimilated in the fold of the power that be, and these people became votaries, servants, slaves, husband, wives,princes or princesses, farmers, such as Akpoto group, element of Hausa groups,Tapa groups,Ibo element, and from nearly all over present day Nigeria . This is because there are sculpture heads, or other Art work, which support this postulation. For instance, the three whisker sculpture head, founs in Ileife, ’The birth place of Yoruba; This whisker scarification represents a an Hausa pattern of scarification on this face, is a bit close to Northern Yorubas of Yagba groups but it is a bit different because some Hausa do have such whiskers. Another amusing scarification is the type of ichi scarification found amongst the Ibos priests etc that was found at Ileife. Although there are artificial scarification, which are used when rituals are performed during such era,as found on Oonis. This form of scarification is always cleansed off.

From my postulation,based on written books on Yoruba Art work on Visual head,it is Obvious that the two group that waged war against one and other are likened to Islam and Coptic Christianity followers. How ? O ba ti Ala ( Allah) and Orunmi ela ( Ela ) are both central figure in Ifaodu, then one will understand it from this perspective of a struggle of religious dominance because both names identify with light ~ and purity,which sometimes, made the ifaodu more complex. This is the reason, we find people who claim, Ileife, mondina, mecca, Ora,Oru, orun, etc in Yoruba oral account. For instance, there are three account in Yoruba Creation myth, which involved, Obatala,Odudawa,and Orunmiela,And in all of these three, Ela creation myth remained more authentic because, the Ifaodu corpus says in one chapter, that Ela came as spirit being from mysterious inner place of abode to Aye/Aiye/Iye( life) to form man from soil. In ese ifaodu Ogunda, it says, ‘iri tu wiri wiri la fi da ile aiye'.

Furthermore, I posted two or more different headgears that represent crown of around late 100AD/1200 AD, in Yoruba land, which is closely same as the types found in Near East in origin, because apart from Yoruba group,no West Africans did use such at that point in times, even the Egyptians Pharaoh didn't use such such as stated below.Below are descriptive of some crowns worn in Southern Mesopotamia as compared with Yoruba's king

a) A headdress worn by south- ern Mesopotamian rulers in the late third and early second millennia B.C. is a wool cap

b) Later in the second millennium B.C. and early in the first millen- nium B.C. a high, fezlike cap was worn in Mesopotamia by nobles and kings.

c) Under the Achaemenid Persians a new crown with stepped crenellations made its appearance. This form, enriched by many elements such as crescent moons, sun rays, wings, and globes, became the royal crown of Sasanian kings.

Interestingly, this cap worn as wool is Akoro cap.In Kings, Crowns, and Rights of Succession: Obalufon Arts at Ife and Other Yoruba Centers,you will be amazed to see these types of Caps as worn in Near East. Even the medieval swords of Yorubas are of Northern Africa's types cum Mesopotamia.


Note: sorry for the late response.

Cheers.

You are on fire with this your post... grin

I enjoyed reading it.
As an Ife prince that you are, I'm not surprised
that you have some esoteric knowledge of Yoruba
history and migrations that are NOT fully in the public
domain.

About the ichi mark... are you saying it came from
Yorubaland originally based on what you wrote above?

I do know that "Afa"[Ifa in Yoruba and Igala] is consulted before a new
Eze Nri is installed and the Nri was influenced by the Igalas who introduced
kingship to that part of Iboland. Igalas also consult Ifa before a
new Attah of Igala is coronated.

No doubt Yoruba bloodlines run in Igalaland just like the
current Attah of Igala stated in a Sunday Punch interview in
2017 that I posted on Igalaschools's thread.


But then who were the people that lived in Ife
before the Oduduwa Dynasty stated?
Where did they originally come from?

Prof. Jide Osuntokun[A historian and former Nigerian
ambassador to Germany wrote in 2004 about the fact
that autochtonous or aboriginal Yorubas lived in Ife before
Oduduwa came to start a new dynasty.

The Olugbo of Ugboland, Ilaje axis in Ondo State also
indicated that it was his people that were in Ife but Ifa instructed
them not to fight but leave to avoid blood shed when they
his forebears had issues with the Oduduwa arrival.


Thanks in anticipation of your response as usual
AND YOUR CONTRIBUTION to an understanding of Yoruba
culture and traditions.[Not the kindergarten history information
children were taught in primary schools back in the day]

@Africaman

I've read the detailed email that you sent to me today.
It can be very distressing to get banned from the culture
thread or any other thread on NL by the so-called spambots.

You did the right thing by saving your original post before
emailing it to me.


I just discovered or have a hunch that it is when several
videos are attached to a post and then you try to re-edit
that post after sending the message the first time that
the NL spambot kicks in.



The email was very detailed and I learned some more
about the James Brown and Orlando Julius-Ekemode
relationship from you.

You are indeed right about Fela Kuti's music being
an eclectic mix of sounds from different genres fused
together to form his Afrobeat sound... especially from the
Koola Lobito era to Egypt 80, etc.

Thanks for the prayers as well and hope to get more
interactions with you as the months go by.

Thanks again for the detailed response.

The leopard roars loudly in the year of Corona Virus... grin

Amotekun should be more of undercover intelligence
gathering and the use of Yoruba "anti-ballistic" regalia
to be able to face AK-47 rifle bullets from the kidnappers!
IF NOT DONE... Amotekun might fail to achieve the needed
results and just become tame like some other vigilance
groups.

Again drones have to be deployed to complement the
activities of Amotekun and the police so that the drones can
take pictures and videos of criminal elements hiding in
the thick forests along major roads/expressways.


Enough said.
