You are brainwashed by party politics and religious bigotry.

You are the one that needs to be reorientated. That was how you brought buhari and today a bag of rice is above the minimum wage of the country.

Subsidy is a fraud, Jonathan is a scam but today nko...... Is he still a fraud?

Peter Obi’s sheik has spoken. If you want a continuation of the banditry and insurgency, vote for Peter Obi, the number one friend and supporter of Sheik Gumi. If you want to see an immediate end to the insurgency, vote for the no nonsense Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The choice is yours.

Why haven't your party that is in power arrested him abi buhary doesn't have such powers. At least it's APC that is power now. Shameless irredeemable liars.

Exactly why I want them voted out. You guys are not the only ones that can make Lagos better. You have cornered Lagos and her resources for too long and if no new opposition takes over government, we won't know how much damage you have done to the state. So we need you to go .

baretalk:
CAN said it, they are supporting him because it is a sin for a true Christian to be a bigot and discriminate people of other religion. You people are hypocrites.

You mean your abuja hired CAN ?
When your insensitivity and hatred and deception for christainity made you pick a moslem moslem ticket it wasn't hypocrisy? Was was it called. Your tricks won't work. When you don't know the difference between hired thugs and CAN.

Ogaade we won't vote him and he won't become out president . We will rather vote Atiku instead.

Go and force them. Anything and anyone that doesn't support you and your godfather is a biggot. We will work against you and God in heaven will answer our prayers. Greedy set of hijackers

We are not one and I won't still vote for you. In fact as a Yoruba man, I will campaign against you until you change your vice presidential candidate to a Christain. Lastly keep you Christmas greetings to yourself as the whole chrstsin community don't need it .

Oletola didnt do well but Adeleke should stop being petty and face governance

What is being petty about asking people to return what they took away illegally. Is accountability not part of governance . We should stop all these useless talks

Deception of the century. Why are other major marketers not bringing out the products like Bovas. Is it only BOVAS that's a major marketers. There is more to why the independent marketers are selling at high prices.

Every rich person can employ a prof. I know someone who isn’t educated but owns a university. That one has a prof in his employ doesn’t mean the person has a qualification that equals that of the professor.
Why I’m even wasting my time educating a fanatic like you.
I know Oyedepo closely. He is a wicked person. He can only deceive foools who have abandoned their brains in their village

A fanatic ? Really ! Aturota bi elubo
You don't know anything about oyedepo. You're a diabolic liar. Oyedepo is from a moslem family and his father was a moslem. They don't behave barbaric and uncoordinated like your muric professor.

Oyedepo is living his life per time. He has laboured and if by working on something for forty years , he should be enjoying by now. What work is your own rag wearing professor done before, someone in the employment of a university but busy causing religious tensions up and down. All his actions are alien to us in Nigeria and we don't need such.

Muric should be busy accusing religious bodies of neglect of their schools and stop wanting to hijack Christain missionary schools. Most moslem missionary schools have been abandoned with the real owners no where to be found.

You will do yourself a favour by going into cannaland , oyedepos university and see how things are done. If you come out and you're not convinced that you can no linger follow the mumuric man again then you shouldn't be here in Nigeria with us. Go to burundi

Thank you so much for the love and maturity sir. Governor nyesome wike. This is applaudable. This is how it should be . Let everyone market him or herself and not using gun and intimidation strategy to win elections

duro4chang:
There are many Yorùbá names whose meanings are now lost due to the fact that the words forming their roots are no longer in use.
For instance, ask the young Master Ọlọ́pàádé the meaning of his name and he will probably tell you that his name means “the policeman has come“. Ask Mr. Ọlọ́paádé, his father, and he would probably tell you it means “the owner of the staff has come“. The two of them would be wrong as Ọlọ́pàádé actually means “the Ọpa (re|re) devotee has come“. The same goes for all other Ọpa names like Opadotun. Those names show that the ancestors of the bearers of the names were worshippers or devotees of the Ọpa Cult otherwise called Awo Ọpa, one of the religious cults or secret societies proscribed by the British in colonial days.

Or imagine another scenario: Pastor Ọbáfẹ́mi (re|mi|mi|re), the pastor of a Pentecostal church, is asking Deacon Ògúnyẹmí to change his name because he believes that the name of the deacon is associated with Ògún, an idol (so-called), without realizing that his own name is also idolatrous in its origin.

Even Professor Wọlé Ṣóyínká in his book “The Man Died” gave the meaning of his surname Ṣóyínká to be “surrounded by wizards“. This is far from being the case. Names like Soyinka, Sonuga etc. do not derive from “Oṣó“(wizard) but rather they derive from Òrìṣà-Oko, the Yorùbá deity of agriculture.
The name Ṣóyínká in full is Òrìṣàokoyínká which became shortened by a gradual declension to Ṣóókóyínká, Ṣóyímiká and finally to Ṣóyínká. It is the same for all the other “Ṣóó…” names.
If a whole Professor Ṣóyínká, a master of literature and language can be thus mistaken on the derivation and meaning of his own name, what about we lesser mortals. It is in order to put these various misconceptions right that I am publishing this little work via this medium.

This list is by no means exhaustive and others inputs are welcome so it can be in writing for generations yet unborn so that the knowledge of the meaning of our names will not die out.
Also, if you want to know the meaning of your Yorùbá name, you are welcome to ask.
Àgbà ò ní tán lórílẹ̀ (the elders’ wise counsel will never be scarce in our midst).

The “Okù” (re|do) names like Okusanya, Okusaga etc are not derived from “Òkú” (dò|mí), a dead person. They are derived from “Okù“, the Ijebu deity of wealth which corresponds to “Ajé“, the Ọ̀yọ́ Yorùbá deity of wealth. Thus, Okùsànyà means the deity of wealth has rewarded me for my sufferings and not dead person has rewarded me for my sufferings.

Ọrẹ̀ (re|do)names like Oresanya. They do not derive from Ọ̀rẹ́, (dò|mí), friend, but from Ọrẹ̀, (re|do), a deity. A phrase like “A kìí ọmọ Ọrẹ̀ bọ Ọrẹ̀” (you don’t use the child of Ọrẹ̀ to propitiate Ọrẹ̀) comes to mind.

Igbin names like Onigbinde etc do not derive from ìgbín (do|mi), snail, but rather from Igbin, (re|re), a drum beaten for the Òrìṣàálá or Ọbàtálá worship. The ancestors of people bearing these names were drummers for Òrìṣàálá worshippers.

Ọ̀pẹ̀ (do|do) names like Opetola do not derive from Ọ̀pẹ, (do|re), palm tree, but rather from Ọ̀pẹ̀, (do|do), an Ifá appellation.

Ọnà (re|do) Onasanya; these names are not derived from ọ̀nà (road) but they derive from Ọnà (craft). The name bearers of these names would be people who were craftsmen like sculptors etc in their origin.

Alalade (re|mi|do|do|mi) does not derive from àlá (do|mi), dream, but derives from Àlà (do|do), white, symbol of purity – the insignia of the Òrìṣàálá or Ọbàtálá deity and it means the owner of àlá has come, the Òrìṣàálá devotee has come and not the dreamer has come as many have supposed it means.

Elégbèdé does not derive from egbé (re|mí) – the supposed magical means of teleporting – and is not supposed to be pronounced as Elégbédé (re|mi|mi|mi) as Sunny Ade sang it in one of the records, on the Erelú of Lagos. The name is derived from ègbè (do|do) meaning support. Thus, the name is more properly pronounced as Elégbèédé (re|mi|do|mi|mi) – the defender, the one who will fight or support my cause has come.

Onipede (re|mi|do|mi|mi) does not derive from ìpẹ́ (do|mi) fish scales, but derives from ìpẹ̀ (do|do) – consolation. So, it should not be pronounced as Onípẹ̀dẹ́ (re|mi|do|mi) the owner of scales has come but rather as Onípẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́ (re|mi|do|mi|mi) – the consoler has come.

Baba (re|re) and Ọba (re|re) name such Babasanmi, Babafemi Obasanjo do not derive from father or king. They both derive their roots from Ṣọ̀npọ̀nná, the deity of small-pox, which used to be referred to in reverent tone in olden days as Baba so that he would not kill them. If you will recall, in olden times, the marks left on the faces of anyone who recovered from small-pox attack used to be referred to as Ila-Baba, that is father’s marks.
In Chief Olúṣẹ́gun Ọbásanjọ́’s book, My Watch, he gave us an insight into the origin of the names starting with Ọba. Such names are related to Ọbalúaiyé (also calledṢọ̀npọ̀nná), the deity of smallpox. So the Ọba in Ọbasanjọ́, and Ọbafẹ́mi, is derived from Ọbalúaiyé and not from king.
So, Pastor Ọbafẹ́mi, in the hypothetical case mentioned above would do well to remove the log in his own eyes first by changing his own name first before insisting that Deacon Ògúnyẹmí should change his name.

Oloko (re|mi|do) does not derive from the word ọkọ̀ (re|do) – lorry or canoe and it does not mean the owner of a lorry or the owner of canoe, but it derives from the word ọ̀kọ̀ (do|do) – spear, and it means the owner, master or lord of the spear. It is a war title which has become a name. It is the title borne by the group of warriors whose chosen weapons of warfare is the spare.

Adekogbe (re|mi|do|mi) does not mean the crown rejects excreta as the word ìgbẹ́ (do|mi) in the name does not mean excreta; rather it means a bush or a light forest. The name means the crown rejects the bush, that is to say a prince shouldn’t be involved in manual labour or farming activities. Adékọ̀gbẹ́ is a name much favoured by the Ìjẹ̀bú, as they are of all Yorùbá tribes a tribe that is more averse to farm work or manual labour than any of the other Yorùbá tribes. They prefer to trade instead.

Adé (re|mi) names like Adeboye Adebayo, Adebola are not derived from Adé (crown) but rather they are derived from the verb dé which means to come. Adébóyè means he who came at a time when chieftaincy has just entered into the family. Adébáyọ̀ means he who comes to meet when a thing of joy has just come into the family and Adébọ́lá means he who comes to meet when wealth has just come into the family.

Apart from the misconstrued names, there are other names whose meanings are now recondite as many people no longer know what the names mean.
Sadare, Sadela etc, these names derive from the Òrìṣàálá otherwise called Ọbàtálá deity. Ṣàdáre is an hyphenated form of Òrìṣàdáre. The word Orisha whenever used alone invariably refers to Ọbàtálá otherwise called Òrìṣànlá. So, those names are names of people named after the Òrìṣàálá deity. Ṣàdáre then would mean Ọbàtálá has vindicated (me). Ṣàdẹ̀kó would mean that an Ọbàtálá worshipper has arrived at Èkó (Lagos). Ṣàdẹ̀là would mean Ọbàtálá has arrived into wealth.
Akeredolu (re|mi|mi|re|mi) means he who reduces himself in order to become a king. He who humbles himself to become a king like the title of that play “She Stoops To Conquer” by Oliver Goldsmith.
Adewuyiì (re|mi|re|do) means the crown grows honour, that is, the crown produces honour.
Olofa (re|mi|do) means the owner of arrows or the master or lord of arrows. It is another war title that has become a name and it is the title given to those whose weapons of war in battle is the bow and arrow, that is archers.

Alokolaro (re|mi|re|mi|do|mi) means he who has a large farm and also has a cooperative society to assist him to do the farm work. Aarọ́ is a cooperative system among the Yorùbá whereby the members agree to work jointly in the farm of each member of the group in turn until they have finished the farm-work of all the members.

Olowe (re|mi|do) means he who has an ọ̀wẹ̀ (do|do) cooperative group. Ọ̀wẹ̀ is another type of cooperative society whereby the members assist each other to work in the farm of each other. Olowe is thus somebody who has a large number of people at his beck and call whom he can call upon to assist him any time in his farm or other work

Apara (re|re|re) is short for Apara-ogun-bí–ẹní-palé (re|re|re|re|re|mi|re|mi|re|mi) implies he who sets war at naught. It means literally somebody who gets ready for war as easily as other people get ready for home affairs.

Okoya (re|mi|re) means the hoe has torn into pieces. It is an Àbíkú name. It implies an imploration to the Àbíkú not to die again as the hoe for burial has torn into pieces.

Ọkọ́ṣẹ́ means the hoe has broken, same as Ọkọ́ya.

Popoola (mi|mi|re|mi) means the avenue of Honour or nobility. Pópó (mi|mi) means a broad street or avenue, Ọlá means honour or nobility.

Adesiyan (re|mi|re|re) means the crown is good.

Adelabu (re|mi|mi) means the crown has passed through the deep (the sea).

Banmeke (mi|re|mi|mi) means hold or sustain the rafter of the house with me. Ẹkẹ (re|re) is the underlying structure upon which the leaves used to roof the house was be placed. It served the purpose now served by the rafter as forming the superstructure of the roof. It thus a very important part of the house or family.

Falade (mi|re|mi) means the god of divination has intermingled with royalty, probably a name given to a child who was born of an Ifá priesthood parent and a royal parent, like the mother of the first

Olowu (re|mi|re) who being a princess married his father’s priest.

Oláníyan (re|mi|mi|re) means nobility has swagger, that is to say noble people have a special way in which they carry themselves.

Adeleke or Délékè (re|mi|mi|do) means he who comes to become a very important part of the house. Eke (the rafter) being the superstructure of the roof. The Adé there is not crown but is from the verb dé meaning to come or arrive.

Oluwusi (re|mi|do|do) means kingship has increased.
Adebosin (re|mi|mi|do) means he that came to meet kingship.
Osinbajo (re|do|mi|do|do) – Ọṣìn-bọ̀-làjò – means the king has returned from a journey. Ọṣìn (re|do) means king. Bọ̀ means to come back from àjò (do|do) which means a journey.

Aláásà (re|mi|mi|do) is a war title that has now become a name. It does not refer to aasa tobacco, but to asà (re|do) the shield. Aláásà means the owner or lord of the shield, that is the shield bearer, perhaps of the king.

Sadipe or. Òrìṣàdípẹ̀. The deity (Obatala) has used this one (the newly born baby) to console by using him to replace a loss recently suffered by the family.

Eesuola (do|mi|mi|re|mi) means the pool that is the reservoir of honour or nobility.

Bangbegbin (mi|re|mi|do) means assist me to carry the Igbin. It is a name borne by drummers for Orisala worship. (Igbin is the drum beaten in the worship of Òrìṣàálá/Ọbàtálá deity).

Kotoye (do|mi|mi) is short for Kò-tó-yẹ́-sí (do|mi|mi|mi), which means not worthy of being honoured, a name given to a child believed to be an Àbíkú because the Yorùbá believe that such a child if shown any love or regard by being given sweet and affectionate names would go back to his group of bad children but if shown he is despised and of scant regard and is expected by his parents to die anytime, he would stay; because Abikus have a perverse tendency to do just the opposite of what you expect them to do. For that reason, they are given derogatory names like Kòtóyẹ́sí Ajá (dog) etc.
Bamgbose (mi|re|mi|mi) means assist me in carrying the Oṣe, that is Sango’s wand. It is a name given to children born by Ṣàngó

Oyedepo has insulted the president and vilified his government countless times.
What has Akintola said that Oyedepo hasn’t said

You won't see them discuss politics cos they are not like your rag head political professor of confusion who knows nothing but islamisization agenda of nigeria.

So now there’s no more freedom speech in kingdom.
So tell what is offense is that pastor Oyedepo hasn’t done
Before Proff will attend to any useless summons Oyedepo and Pastor Sulieman must be summoned and Prosecuted first

Thqt is where there is problem. Most of your people are not exposed. They are just a little educated. You have freedom of speech but your freedom after the speech no one can guarantee. Where your right stops is where other people's right starts. You can't be throwing jabs at the office of a governor and want to go away with it. How many times have you seen oyedepo insultr a suiting governor or. The the sit or position of me president . He will rather accuse the government and not mention name . So get your fact right.

Your hypocrisy is just sickening. What have you people not accused PMB of in this world?

Is PMB as dull as your muric man? PMB has never said he was sick if invited to the authorities. Tell your professor that he should stop instigating religious violence where there is none. He feels he is above the law and can accuse a sitting governor and go away with it .
If they end up coming for him themselves, he will spend more time at the dss custody.

NOETHNICITY:
Using the DSS to harass a law abiding citizen is another new low by the administration of Seyi Makinde.

There is virtually nothing that Nigerian pastors, especially Oyedepo, haven’t said about PMB. But not for once have PMB flinched or resort to intimidating differing citizens with states machinery.
The DSS should understand that Nigerian Muslims are watching and will not allow the persecution of this distinguished human rights activist.


Nigerian Christians should learn to be tolerant.
I experienced this same treatment during my days in boarding school where we were flogged mercilessly for not attending Sunday church services. I was eventually illegally conscripted into Christianity and thought I had seen the light after I started speaking in tongues during prayers, until I and our entire family was redeemed by God through my Cousin.

You're only deceiving yourself. Muric is fast become a nuisance and a terror launchpad . He will soon understand what it means when you carry your blank skull to attack the government in religious issues. The guy will have his day with tht DSS. Telling lies that he is not feeling fine will not save him

Worriedwife:
This has notin to do with Lola being d bad one. People shouldn’t make it a tribal argument. The fault is from Paul. The women are not the problem here. If Paul didn’t go sleeping with the maid, everytin would be fine.

His brother and Lola are still in good terms with Anita, that shows she is a good person.

It is d new girl I feel pity for. Not like Paul would do her anything bad as he seems to love her, but she would have a hard time penetrating the strong bond Anita has formed with Peter and Lola. It doesn’t help that she is very young. She would just be there with only Paul and it gets boring. Marriage in Nigeria includes d family.

Are you a family member?

Pandora Obituary has to condemn it to caution his boys against such costly mistakes in future. Labour Party is a registered arm of ipob, so killing a member of Labour Party is same as killing ipob member.

I just don't know what to say about you... Heaven will record this against you. The man that died had committed no sin other than contesting on a movement platform. And you shamelessly ascribe his death to his party men. Be careful of the nonsense you put up here cos internet never forgets.
