Here is an Aerial footage showing the site of plane crash at Bishoftu in Ethiopia, that killed all 157 people on board as a growing list of airline carriers around the world ground their fleets of Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft. .

According to speculations, the crash site debris pattern, clearly shows it was the fault of the plane because it shows the plane plunged into the ground nose down on full power just like that of Lion Air in October.

This Yayi man should go back to his Ogun state and leave Obanikoro the true son from Lagos West the chance.

Just a quick one... Sen. Yayi is a full-blooded Awori, but from
Ogun State. Lagos Awori and Ogun Awori-Yorubas see themselves
as one... and Sen. Yayi is still accepted in Lagos as an Awori
son.


Musiliu Obanikoro's father is from Oyo State. It is his mother that
is from the aristocratic Obanikoro lineage of Lagos State.


Nobody from his mother's lineage bears the surname of Obanikoro!
Infact some members of Musiliu Obanikoro's mother's family placed
a paid advert in PM News in 2007 where they condemned Musiliu's
use of Obanikoro as his surname when he is NOT paternally from
Lagos but from Oyo State. I was stunned by that paid advert
in 2007. This is not to say that Musiliu is not from an aristocratic
lineage... but it is from his maternal side!


Musiliu Obanikoro just unilaterally decided to use the name
Obanikoro as his surname. Obanikoro is ONLY used as an
aristocratic title NOT as a surname.


All the best!

Very commendable. This is how we roll in the south west. Ajimobi and Adelabu already congratulated Seyi Makinde. Agbaje called Sanwo-Olu to concede defeat even before the final declaration was made. And just today, Kashamu did not just concede defeat, he personally visited the winner.

As far as all the contestant are concerned, the election is over and governance should follow. No point wailing stupidly for the next four years and trying to bad mouth the winner.

I wonder if dis will be ur reactions if it was to be found in Atiku or any other PDP chieftain residence on an election eve.

If you read the original article by the lawyer, Lawrence C. Nnoli properly, you will
REALISE that he wrote in SUPPORT of Asiwaju Bola Adekunle Tinubu. He did NOT
CASTIGATE Tinubu like some of you folks were or are trying to do, by making
defamatory comments against one of the greatest political, corporate and business
icons in Nigeria!

Please read it again... and infact the article offers a very good FINANCIAL ADVICE
for FREE for a lot of people who are actually IGNORANT of the MONEY LAUNDERING
LAWS of Nigeria.

The excerpts from the original article right below shows that Lawrence Nnoli
DID NOT criticize or castigate Asiwaju Bola Adekunle Tinubu.

Bahamas is beautiful but expensive to live and no jobs. Also they deport easy any who overstayed a tourist visa. Better try Belize which is a little more easy on foreigners and it's also an English speaking country, many blacks too.

Bahamas and shark attacks are Siamese twins.

Tourists/visitors have to be careful not to go about
swimming anyhow in those beautiful and colourful
ocean waters in Bahamas.

I love Barbados too but it is quite expensive... though
a great place to visit for holidays/leisure.

CotenantNIG:
Major Traffic Jam Routes in Lagos

Lagos is the commercial Hub, this comes with a huge price, according to Lagos state government report in 2018 over 12 million people use Lagos roads daily. Lagos is not only popular due to his business environment but equally its size.

As much as this traffic cuts across the whole of the state, some major roads in the state are more prone to this traffic than the other. Lagosians can spend up to 5 hours in a traffic. Its always hard to avoid traffic in Lagos

Iyana-Ipaja/Egbeda Road to Ikeja/Oshodi: Iyana-Ipaja/Egbeda are locations under Alimosho Local Government with a population of over 2 million people, many of this people live in ikotun, igando ,ojo etc. Most people living in alimosho either work in Ikeja or on the island.

Ikotun to Ejigbo road/Jakande Gate/Oke-afa/cele express: This road is always hell in the morning both for going and coming in the evening for workers, most people plying this route are either going to oshodi, apapa, Obalende/Cms. This is as a result of bad roads and inexperienced lastma officials.

Ojota to Palm-Grove/Anthony/Onipan/Yaba: The route is always blocked because of tankers that parked on yaba bridge and equally on the highway, you can spend sometimes two hours just to get to yaba.

Cele-express to Apapa/Coconut/Apapa: I have nothing to write about this because everyone knows till eternity this place will always be jammed. People who work in this area often sleep in their respective offices for the week to return home at the weekend all because of the traffic on this road. The reason for this is basically because there is only one major linking road to Apapa. The traffic gets even worse when tanker drivers decide to go park their tankers on the bridge instead of their designated park.


3rd Mainland Bridge: The large number of people who work on the Island and live on the mainland is the major reason for this terrible traffic. The fact that people can spend several hours in this traffic mean they’ve had to learn to leave their homes as early as 4am or 5am in order to meet up with their very early resumption time.

Opic Estate/Berger Road to Inside Lagos: This road leads all the way to Mowe and Ibafo in Ogun state. The relatively cheap housing in these areas also makes it a densely populated area, mostly people who work in Lagos. The high population in this area is one of the major reasons for the stand still traffic often encountered on this road. If there was another good road leading to these areas, maybe the story about the traffic would be a whole lot different. Since there isn’t, the horrible traffic tale on the road remains.

The Ikeja along axis to the MMA2 and the MMIA is a real
traffic jam spot. Get ready to miss your air flights if you
do not leave your house early or if you don't get a hotel
to stay near the airport.

Despite the fact that my younger brother was at
a major hotel in Ikeja near the international airport, he
was caught up in a major traffic jam on his way back to
his Manchester, UK base to be with his wife and
kids on February 14. Thank goodness he didn't miss
his KLM flight.

Mobolaji Bank Anthony axis/Maryland axis right to Maryland Mall
is another area I would not want to be visit again if I have an urgent
appointment. Time is money.

What Lagos and Port Harcourt need... most especially Lagos are more
comfortable hovercrafts/ferries to move a large number of people since over
60 percent of Lagos State is water and it has many islands... and the business
will be very profitable for any major investor. Most Lagos residents move from
the mainland to the island in the mornings and back in the evenings in their
millions!

The railway line is very expensive to build but it can also complement water
transportation. People need to start keeping their cute cars at home instead of
showing off in them.

Anthony Joshua’s £150,000 personalised Range Rover has been stolen in central London.

The World Heavyweight Boxing champion has vowed to hunt down the thieves who stole his personalised Range Rover .

https://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img923/8961/Ne4Zyg.jpg

The luxury SUV,which is embossed with AJ's signature , was stolen outside a family member’s home just days before he defends his WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight crowns against the Russian challenger, Alexander Povetkin, next Saturday.

The Range Rover has a drawer where Joshua keeps his title belts, although they were not in the car at the time.

https://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img922/5761/Np5wgP.jpg

It is also personalised with its registration number while head rests, steering wheel, a badge and even door interiors are marked with the Anthony Joshua signature. It's also fitted with a tracker.

A close source said:
"AJ's pretty annoyed about it because it's so close to the fight. He doesn't want any distractions at all"

https://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img923/340/tMltn9.jpg
A CCTV image shows the suspected after the car was stolen

Police believe thieves targeted the Range Rover using a keyless device (Hi-tech Relay Device) that mimics a car's key fob to break in.

Itoosabi:
Dear nairalanders I asked this question cos I'm the victim of the two situations. I couldn't cope I left unregrettebly .
Which one can you be able to cope with between Mouth Odour and Body Odour

I cannot cope with any of the 2 situations.
None of the above!

There is hope for you or anyone that has these
issues.

1] Anyone who has mouth odour should visit a dentist
regularly and do what is called scaling and polishing.
You can request to do Ultra-sonic scaling and polishing
from the dentist in your country of residence.
It is the presence of plaque and tartar that
that causes the gums to bleed and allows bacteria
to fester.

Holes in the teeth also harbour food debris so they
need to be checked and filled up by the dentist
to prevent food debris from decaying in the holes.

Then engage in flossing after every meal to remove
food debris such as meat from in-between your teeth.
Get the flossing strings to pull out food debris after
every meal.

You can also immediately use your regular sowing thread
to pull out any food debris like meat which if not pulled
out will beging to putrefy or decay in the mouth.
You will be glad you did!


2] For the body odour, just shave all your private body
hairs - such as the arm pits, pubic hair and use colognes
regularly or use anti-perspirants after having a good bath
with your anti-septic soap.


All the best!

. Do you want more history from other sources? I'm too knowledgeable to be deceived with falsehood and distorted history. Igboland has a core of Dialas/Dianas/Dialis/Dianis also Ifite/Ihite/Ivite/Ihi'e also Okpu/nfu which literally translates to aborigines. Beyond that core which stretches between Awka and Owerri are more of us either from the east as Efik/Ibibio or South as Ijaw or West as Bini/Yoruba or North as Igala/Tiv/Idoma that moved in as the Owerri/Awka were moving out to form a buffer with mix of the core and other cultures. You don't need a soothsayer to know that.

Sanromeo:
Oga ade! Incase you don't know, Ondo people targeted Buhari in the last election. Akeredolu's campaign or performance in the state couldn't have changed that. If you know Ondo State people very well, you'll know we're stubborn and strong-willed. We vote for our choice, irrespective of who's campaigning for them. We can't be influenced easily.

One thing you don't know Ondo state people for is that we don't forget easily. We're not ingrates. The people won't forsake him when the time comes because he has performed beyond expectations. The workers in the state will forever be grateful to him for coming to their rescue by offsetting 6 months out the 7-months arrears owed by the previous administration. In the last 2 years, he has put the welfare of workers at utmost priority.

That's the thing about Ondo State politics. The moment the workers turn their back on you, you're a goner! But in Akeredolu's case, he's the friend of the public servants.

Abagworo:
"According to the tradition of the Nri themselves, a man of Igala stock from Idah called Eri, son of Achado, a native doctor and hunter, came down the Omambala River in search of the River at a place later called Aguleri (Aguleri Igbo), and begat a number of children, to whom he passed on the secrets of his arts. His eldest son, who succeeded to the paraphernalia of his trade, was called Nriifikwuanim. This first son moved farther into Igbo land and settled among the Ugbene people, who showed him a portion of their farmland called “Agu Ukwu” to live and farm upon.

Nriifikwuanim prospered and became known not only for his powers to cure diseases, but also for his readiness to assume the risk of cleansing people of abominations. He was able to do this because abominations were sins against the Earth goddess – Aja Ana, and being a non-Igbo person he was not subject to the power of any Aja Ana in Igboland. What was “Alu” ―abomination‖ to the Igbo was not Alu to him, and what was “Nso” (forbidden conduct) did not concern him. He came from a different clime. He could, therefore, perform ceremonies to cleanse people of abominations attaching to them, and so make them acceptable to their communities once more. He took things – clothes, property – for his own use which the Igbos regarded as unclean or prohibited from the Igbo gods. He got rich thereby. From removing the stains of abomination from people, Nriifikwuanim developed the technique of sanctifying things in general, by rituals which he devised; for example, driving away evil spirits from or around people (exorcism)."

"When he became famous, he decided to move from Ugbene to the more populous areas of Igboland. He came and dwelt near Oka, on the land of another Igbo community owners of the land where he settled, by giving them a percentage of his earnings, in cash or kind; hence the saying “Ivbe Nri evbe Adama” ―What you pay to Nri Nri pays to Adama’s people‖.

Adama was the Head of Umudiana Village of Adazi, owners of the land, who gave the first land they settled upon to the Nris. Later on, the Nris expanded by buying more land for themselves. From the time they lived at Ugbene, Nriifikwuanim and his followers were referred to as “Ndu bun a Agu Ukwu” ―dwellers in Agu Ukwu land of the Ugbenes). From this reference to their locality the name “Agu Ukwu” identified Nriifikwuanim and his people, and even when they had left Ugbene town, they were still known as “Agu Ukwu” people. Also the title-name of Eze of today – Udene is but the corrupted form of the name Ugbene. So, when they came to live near Oka to work, the community of Nriifikwuanim was known as Agu Ukwu, and their place of habitation Agukwu town. In modern times, the name has been changed to Nri town, after the name of their ancestor – Nriifikwuanim. But the Ikolo drums of the Nris still call them: “Agu Ukwu Ugbene Agu Ukwu Ugbene!”"

"What Nriifikwuanim (Nri in shortened form) was able to do was most welcome to the Oka people. Previously, an offender who had committed an abomination – alu - which was a sin against Aja Ana, the Earth Goddess, and was infact a grievous offence whose tendency was to disrupt the solidarity of the society or affect the corporate existence of Oka, such as a person having carnal knowledge of the person’s father’s wife while the father was alive, or committing incest, could only be killed or sold into slavery. Such a person must, in any case, be excluded from the society which he had tried to tear asunder. There was no way of bringing him back, for no one could forgive offences against the gods.

But then there came a stranger, whom the Igbo gods could not touch, who said he could cleanse abominations by taking the risks upon himself. So, a second alternative opened up. An offender could be re-integrated with his community (after suffering whatever penalty was imposed on him by the community) by making his peace with the gods, after being cleansed of his abominable stain through a ceremony by Nriifikwuanim.


Nriifikwuanim and his descendants were, therefore, very much welcomed in Oka town. Their services were required wherever sanctification was called for. They were invited where evil spirits were to be driven out of a household, or when people must purify themselves to take a particular title (so as not to die in the midst of the ceremonies), or when a house must be cleansed because a man who had committed an abomination had died within it, or when unknown gods must be"

"Contrary to popular misconception, Nris were not Oka people, and Oka people were not Nris; for whereas Nris were of Igala stock, Okas were original Igbo. There was no blood connection between them. But the two groups of people co-operated with one another, and worked harmoniously together. Both traveled extensively throughout Igboland. And while the Nris looked after the spiritual needs of the people they served, the Okas looked after their economic well-being. That could be the meaning of the Ogene song, which went like this:- “:Etuvbe, etuvbe, gbavba-a-gbavba Oka na Nri bu ovbu, ebe-ne-be!”
(If you look deep into history, You will find that Oka and Nri are one). The two sets of people certainly complemented each other."

Because of the Nris ability to sanctify things, by removing the religious pollutions attached to them; and their ability to propitiate the gods, known and unknown, they were credited with the unique power of communicating with the gods. Therefore, wherever an Nri man was present in Igboland, he broke the kolanut, whether his elders were present or not. He did this, however, if no Oka man was present. If an Oka man was present, it was the Oka man that broke the kolanut, provided he was older than the Nri man. There was an ancient saying: Nri anara awakpo Oka oji” (No Nri man takes precedence over an Oka man in breaking the kolanut). The reason for the rule was that Oka people asserted that since it was they who manufactured the “Otonshi” – the metal staff or wand – with which the Nri performed their magical rites, it was not proper that the Nris should claim precedence over the creators of their source of power. The Nri themselves called their tool “Otonshi Nri ji eli Igbo”, meaning magic to Oka culture, and the cleansing of abominations – “nkpu alu”."
