MrMystrO:^^^^^^^^^ Donald Duke is right to some extent. Nigeria's population is projected to be 400 million in the year 2050! But this population would be of use if Nigeria stops being a "Significant Underachiever!" If other states don't wake up and gravitate towards where they have comparative advantage, more people will flood towards NOT just Lagos State, but Akwa Ibom, PH, Abuja, Kano, Ogun, Oyo... these areas are currently witnessing influx of people from within and outside Nigeria via the porous borders! I saw a post on page 4 of this thread insinuating that SW people [Yoruba] are preventing so-called "Sea port" from being built in the S/East. This is FALSE! The SE has only a River Port [Not a Sea Port] in Onitsha along the banks of River Niger which was renovated and upgraded but is currently not being used because it is not viable and will not be able to take big oceangoing ships. The River Niger is shallow and dredging it of silt is very expensive, so any port built along a river that is shallow cannot be viable for international shipping and will just be gulping millions of dollars every year on dredging. The maritime industry also has what is called Destination of Cargo. No international shipping company will come to an area if there are NO industries that would enable them to bring in their large ships with goods and take goods away from Nigeria. This is where Lagos Ports will have a comparative advantage for a long time to come, because it is closer to Europe and America. Onne Port has no Destination of Cargo because of the lack of many manufacturing industries. Calabar, Warri, Burutu, Onitsha Ports are ALL River Ports that were built for political reasons but have turned out to be non-viable and expensive to maintain because they will need constant dredging annually because of the heavy silt deposits. Only Deep Sea Ports like the expected Lekki, Badagry, Bakassi, Zaba Zaba and Ibaka can overcome the silt deposit problems associated with River Ports like Onitsha and Calabar which should never have been built by Gen. Obasanjo's military Government in 1978. Calabar was built with a loan from Norway to assist the Lagos Ports then to decongest. Experts suggest that these River Ports can be creatively turned to fishing terminals so they are NOT a complete waste. ![]() I hope this helps. |
sexybbstar:^^^^^^^ Brilliant... Absolutely stunning! ![]() |
Babalawos:^^^^^^^^^^^ The terms Babalawo and Ifa Priest mean the same thing. I see journalists and ignorant people using Herbalist or native doctor to refer to a Babalawo but this is false. I'm not an adherent of Ifa Religion, but I have learned about global/world religions and have been involved in comparative religion studies for over 40 year now. [You will be amazed that Persian Zoroastrianism, the religion of Cyrus the Great is the origin of Judaism, Xtianity, Islam. The so-called prophets in the old testament referred to Cyrus as my "King of Kings" and Cyrus, the emperor of the Persian Empire was referred to by the bible God as "My Anointed. The Persians created Judaism as the colonial masters of the Israelites who were never monolithic but worshiped many Gods called El"] Read the works of Prof. Mary Boyce and other Near-Eastern scholars on this. Onisegun = Herbalist Ologun Ika = Negative/Wicked Person who kills or harms people. Babalawos or Ifa Priests do not use people for rituals killings as it is a taboo in their religion. It is the agents of colonialism and the imported religions from Europe and Asia that concocted the lies in order to draw membership. IFA Priest = Babalawo [equivalent of Pastor, Monk, Imam, etc, in the Ifa Religion]. People are too timid to venture outside the institutionalised religions they were born into, so they allow fear to paralyze them from asking questions about other people. The more YOU know, the more tolerant you will become. Cuba has more than 10, 000 Ifa Priests or Babalawos both black and white Cuban adherents of the Yoruba Religion or Ifa Religion. |
Africacelebcar:^^^^^^^^^^^ She should have rejected the so-called G-Class Wagon in the first instance because she isn't MARRIED to him. They weren't even ENGAGED! I think she cheapened herself and her family name by collecting that car. An Otedola should always have dignity! She needs to sit up at 24 years of age by making better informed decisions that would earn her respect from REAL men. How can she collect such a car from him without him demanding for s.ex later in return. That's Cheap of Ifeoluwa [DJ Cuppy] IMHO! Moreover there are better guys [real men] she can roll with and not someone who wants to eat some "oysters" in return for G-Wagon gift! |
jonhemma11:^^^^^^^^^ ...The iconic Denim-on-denim will always be newsworthy! |
Babalawos:^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
36govs:^^^^^^ This boy is a m.oron. If he is caught, his finger prints and DNA samples should be taken to prevent a future potential rape. This boy has to be exposed and his village should be made known so that his kinsmen will know the kind of m.oron that he is! We have sisters and daughters and we don't want things like ra.pe to happen to them because of the psychological trauma. His FB account should also be denied him and his details should be shared with INTERPOL. Psychologically, men and women tend to behave themselves when being monitored all over the world. |
FlirtyKaren:^^^^^^^ What a hilarious video... ![]() |
Swissheart:^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ Nice thread! ![]() Ekiti has an awesome hilly geography which if well harnessed will bring in foreign exchange from tourism. I've been to Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort in Ekiti West LGA. Ekiti State also has very successful and upwardly mobile guys in the Diaspora [Lagos, Ibadan, PH, U.K., Canada, U.S. and you would never know until you are told they come from Ekiti via especially the paternal lineage. Some that I have met have never been to the State. But at least Ikere-Ekiti gave us Sade Adu who has won multiple Grammy Awards since 1985, which is something to be proud of! Lanre Olusola [whose family name was originally Kupoluyi. Lanre Olusola is a very intelligent and popular financial trainer and lifecoach] is also originally from Usi-Ekiti [His father was a Senior Financial Comptroller with Dunlop in Lagos and he passed on in the first Nigerian commercial passenger plane crash in 1969 while flying into Lagos from London]. Some citizens in the civil service state can do with more financial education to rise above the subsistence living which I saw in some places in the state and duly amplified by the recourse to using their land for mass Indian Hemp production which has to stop in favour of proper agribusiness value-chain ventures. |
erad:^^^^^^^^ Awesome thread...! Very useful. ![]() |
contactmorak:^^^^^^^^ Figure 8... ![]() |
Oluwolex2000:^^^^^^^^^ This case should be properly investigated... and DNA samples should be taken from any seminal fluid if deposited by the man into the woman. This case looks like a set up to me... I think they were murdered. People have been strafing in cars for years successfully without much casualty. The Lagos Forensic DNA Lab which was newly opened in October 2017 should be used immediately by the Police forensic experts to unravel this Case. |
theLegion:^^^^^^ Some events just cannot be explained or put properly into words... such a pretty girl of 22. |
Sanchez01:^^^^^^^^^^ I found WordHippo.com to be a very simple way of translating English to Yoruba and it was very accurate! Even better than Google Translate. |

superiornews:^^^^^^^^^^^^ Just seeing this... So she was married in 2014 at 19? Then she got out of an abusive marriage, and now she is 22 in 2017! Give her a break to sort out her new life because she is still young and will eventually evolve because she is just 22! |
JamieNaijaTeam:^^^^^^^^ Just checking... |
lawman88:^^^^^^^ Lovely couple! Congratulations. |

hotspec:^^^^^^^^ This is a very informative thread... Well done! |
WetinConsignMe:^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ Please note that the Eastern Region does not refer to Ibos but to all the ethnic groups that were in the Old Eastern Region. Awo gave a speech on the floor of the Western Region Parliament in May 1967 in Ibadan when he made that comment and he clearly stated in English that if the Federal Government allows the Old Eastern Region to secede, then Lagos and the Old Western Region would leave Nigeria. He was SIMPLY calling for 1 UNITED Nigeria! This is what the rebels and their propagandists twisted to misled their people and said Awo promised Ibos that he would secede, which he did never said! The newspapers reported the following day Awolowo's speech which can still be read online in the Daily Times of that day in the month of May19, 1967. All the 10 points listed at the start of this thread are FALSE and MISLEADING! The problem we have is that a lot of the younger generation don't read standard Nigerian Civil War books but only really on pieces of falsehood from propaganda Websites especially those created by Ibos which I started noticing online in the late 1990s on Yahoo!Groups and other media. I have read a lot of books since 1981 that were written by senior military officers like OBJ, Alexander Madiebo and others so as to gain a better understanding from both sides. The answers to most of the questions here can be found in the standard history books and autobiographies and biographies. Chief Obafemi Awolowo NEVER committed suicide when he died in 1987! He died of natural causes. I was as a grown man then and everything about his translation was in the public domain and he was highly eulogised by IBB and other legendary people in Nigeria and around the world. Chief Obafemi Awolowo who was a SAN and a GCFR, became a subject of attack by some Ibos [simply because he contested Presidential elections in the 2nd Republic] so as to prevent him from winning the elections. This has continued till today with young Ibos telling further lies/concocting FICTIONAL stories on the Internet that he drank poison and committed suicide. This is absolute stupidity on the part of these young ones who were NOT born or were babies in 1987 when Obafemi Awolowo died and it is a shame that the Ibos are behind this FAKE STORY. Go to several Websites and blogs and you will see threads and topics that were started by these people! "Awo on the Nigerian Civil War" was a book written by Chief Obafemi Awolowo in the early 1980s to correct all the negative information about him by the Ibos but he never foresaw the devastating effect that the Internet would have in the future on his image otherwise he would have taken those who spread falsehood about him to court as a SAN and senior lawyer that he was for defamation of character. Did you know that Emeka Ojukwu was a foundation member of the Awolowo Foundation which was founded in 1991? If Awo (who was 29 years older than Ojukwu and old enough to be his father) had really offended Emeka Ojukwu, Ojukwu would not have said in his tribute in 1987 that Awolowo is the BEST President Nigeria never had. He would also not have been part of the founding of Awolowo Foundation along with Gen. Yakubu Gowon. Ojukwu and his misadvised team had to use lies as a propaganda tool to maintain political control in the rebel enclave during the Civil War like Goebbels of Nazi Germany did. You see, a lot of these IBO leaders who led Ibos into a devastating Civil War related and hobnobbed with the Yoruba elite and those from other ethnic groups who played active roles in keeping Nigeria united, and then these S/E leaders go behind to divert the attention of their people by encouraging the spread of lies. I know that Chief MCK Ajuluchukwu defended Awolowo over those lies being told by some of his kinsmen. Did you know that China Achebe's daughters married Yoruba and Itsekiri men, while Achebe's son married a woman from Oguta? So I wonder where the tribal propaganda and sickening defamation of character is coming from. These people behave like victims so as to make themselves feel good by concocting the biggest chain of lies I have seen in living memory! The non-Ibos of the Old Eastern Region had rejected secession and even before 1960, there was a COR (Calabar/Ogoja/Rivers) movement calling for separation from the Ibos and this partly led to the Ijaw nationalist, Jasper Isaac Adaka Boro to lead a 12-day revolution/secession from the Eastern region in 1966 because of marginalization by the Aguiyi Ironsi government. Some Ibos like Margaret Ekpo, Jesus of Ogbunike and his followers, and more were locked up for the entire 2 years and 6 months of the Civil War until they were liberated by Nigerian Federal troops. Last but not least, the invasion of the Mid Western State by the rebels infuriated the Edos, Urhobos, Itsekiris, Isokos, Ijaws and some sections of what is now Delta North and it made many of them to join the Nigerian Army in large numbers to defend themselves as a result of the attrocities that were commited against them - such as the desecration of the Palace of the Oba of Benin and the looting of the Palace of some artifacts among other attrocities. According to Col. Ogbebor, in a Sunday Punch 2-page interview 3 years ago, Bendelites had a strong presence during and after the Civil War in the Nigerian military. |
