Good job. Very informative.

But please stop comparing your ancient days to others especially in an area that is well known and heavily documented.

You cannot say because others have kings, Igbo must also have kings. Just as we cannot say those who build skyscrapers are more civilized.

Very educative.

In the same university Pro. Ayodele Awojobi produced the first home made prototype car.

Why has it this long to follow up, children of many Firsts in Africa?

I thought he was going to say they formed a vigilante watch against bandits

Most of them know how they are going to end up as 419, drug peddler, kidnappers but if you are a creep suffering as a slave, any temporary relief is tempting enough until you are caught.

There are different ways of giving hope to Youths, but no way to satisfy those banking on Mercedes as their first car without a job or realistic business.

A pitiful situation we have never seen before the war.

It is unfortunate that Yoruba have to start celebrating in Africa. They are well known in and out of Africa for their achievements in the West. Most people feel comfortable with them.

But it will be foolish to think that all the degradation going on in Nigeria would not rob rub off on them. Soil one finger, contaminate the rest.

The progress is why every ethic ethnic group makes comparisons to Yoruba and even stands on their shoulders.

Very pretty dark skin African lady.

Cry blood if you want, most of the gas right now comes from and are wasted by gas flaring.

Until your statistics comes out!

Workch:
you can’t differentiate oil from gas?
Did you attend school at all!

laiperi:
Nigeria holds 187 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven gas reserves as of 2017, ranking 9th in the world and accounting for about 3% of the world's total natural gas reserves of 6,923 Tcf.

Nigeria has proven reserves equivalent to 306.3 times its annual consumption. This means it has about 306 years of gas left (at current consumption levels and excluding unproven reserves).

I agree that rice was a weekly delicacy in most homes in those days.

But please distinguish street seller rice from rice or Jollof cooked at home and parties.

Iya Silifa's rice on the street has no enemy. It got to a stage that those Adakaje would beg people traveling to buy Iya Jimo's rice wrapped in leaves when coming to London.

Enough said.

Just wondering. It probably means ladies are more discreet than men.

Ladies turn their husbands' house into beer parlors. In some cases men open beer parlors away from home for their wives to manage.

Many college girls have multiple phones with different ring tones for their boyfriends and sugar daddies.

Until you catch them, are they more discreet than men or maybe just sleeker. While at it who outlast who with multiple partners.

May be South Africa is being realistic. They are not forcing anyone into a particular relationship. If you prefer one or multiple relationships, God nor dey fes.

There are men and women out there that can never be satisfied by one person.

These pastors and imams will be defended dead or alive just as their holy prophets in the Bible or Koran that are themselves sex freaks.

This is the privilege of the holy books.

Nigeria Relies on Oil Despite Having Large Coal Reserves - Climate ...

Even young people are familiar with gas flaring that the Oil companies have refused to tap despite laws and regulations urging them to do so before and after OBJ. They would rather import liquified gas and refine petroleum .

Nobody enforced it because of kickbacks to postpone deadlines after deadlines.

Even if the largest gas field is found in Abuja or your villages, it will boils down to mismanagement and corruption.

Since 1957 discovery in Oloibirin, we still don't have local petroleum engineers to implement most of these if foreigners we depend on for Salvation stall out of self-interst.

Regardless of parties, Nigerians do not elect Activists.

They prefer chronic looters and Vagabonds.

Sir,

You seem to be a studious man capable of teaching Youths and passing knowledge to the next generation.

Have you studied any African Oracle like IFA? This is the problem with talented Africans. Most of us mis-educate the young ones. What is your business with cramming Bible, Torah or Koran word for word?

You don carry dis polygamy mata for head like gala pass your masters. They used it as religious opium to capture you. This is why they name our fathers, grandfathers and we named our children in their culture.

How can anyone tell you Chukwu is a devil's name and give you Jonathan or Abdul, the name of a slave?

I beg, lef mata for Bible. Your papa no get contribution dia. Those people you dey quote for Bible are sex freaks.

Abraham was never a polygamist. Hagar was an Egyptian servant or Maid to Sarah who was imposed on him for her personal benefit due to delay conception and was summarily dispatched or sent away at her will, with God's full approval. No real prophet of God in the old testament was a polygamist.

Solomon was the polygamist king who did so against God's express command for anyone who would occupy that seat, and he paid for it direly.

Deut 17:15-17
You shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses; one from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
But he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, for the Lord has said to you, ‘You shall not return that way again.’
Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold for himself.

This is old news. Most of the Teaching hospitals in Nigeria reserve their top floors for any speciality in a 5 Stars hotel environment to reduce medical tourism and attract African politicians instead of going to Europe and America.

If you prefer certain doctors abroad, they will fly her in for whatever ails you.

It has fallen on death ears.

Africans why?

Common now celebrate, white ass lickers and wannabes.

Your economic problems are deep, that is why you launder every million you get.

Another serial monogamist.

He must face death penalty in Nigeria!

Inferiority Complex is stronger in the underdevelopment of Blacks and African countries than we care to admit.

An African or Black glows with the white blood in his father's mother grandparent while a White would sue for damages and defamation of character for insinuating that he has one drop of Black blood in the family.

How many Black Presidents has America had, Black Popes or British rulers have been denied?

While you celebrate your luck for marrying Whites regardless of their Asian blood, their families and friends disown them.

Abi na lie African man? Oya tell us how they worship your feet mumu.

Look, your eyes go soon clear quick quick when Americans turn your billions into sandsan.

This is not Dangote first forage into America. He was Dantata but that is another tori.

People who sold or shun their land like Gypsies and Jews have never recovered today. The Gypsies are spread all over Europe and the Jews all over the world while fighting incessant wars in Palestine. Did you hear the chanting: Jews Will Not Replace Us in America?

You and the likes of Dangote will be dispossessed no matter how much money you laundered out of Africa. What happened to those of Abacha, El Selassie and Mobutu?

In your case as Africans, this is your second Slavery journey. What did your grandfather do with all the mirrors exchanged for gold?

Kontinu, you hia.

9jaRealist:
Have no idea what you are going on about…
That people who made legitimate money should be executed for seeking to preserve it abroad?

Why stop there? Execute all Nigerians who are emigrating abroad after benefiting from free/subsidized public education.
Dangote is making a $15 billion investment insand sand.

gerian economy but you want him executed for trying to preserve family wealth. SMH

You guys make very good points. Nobody can argue against self preservation. The first million a Nigerian makes is used the same way, laundered abroad.

However, if personal and selfish ends of the individual families are what matter most, no country will be built. China and India alone reduced world poverty by cutting the famine at home. The punishment for the self preservation you guys are talking about was up to and including death.

Before anyone label me a dictator, America and Europe built their wealth on Slave Labor worse than Dictator. Where are Russia, China and India today after paying the same price Nigerians paid for taking more than 100 pounds out of the country, firing squad or Bar Beach Show for armed robbers?

Compare the abject poverty we have today to what we had then.

Chief Harold Shodipo and FELA among others paid heavily. Today, even Buhari that jailed others then indulges in Medical tourism and money laundering under so called Free Market.

If you love the Western and Eastern systems so much, you are willing to launder money made in Africa in their countries like the slave traders that did the same; go to their countries and do slave labor BURU to make your money and invest it there.

The British stole so much Gold from Ghana, they named it Gold Coast. Even worse the companies paid taxes to their Government not Gold Coast.

Gold Standard is what prop up currencies not cheap raw materials. Those supporting Devaluation are naive. Americans ditch Gold Standard for printed papers by fiat without any Gold Standard.

Zimbabwe with Diamond tried the same! I rest my case sirs/ma'am's.

9jaRealist:
When Dangote bought BCC under Obasanjo’s privatization program…
Ibeto also bought Nkalagu Cement (while BUA bought Sokoto Cement and Bendel Cement).

Dangote has taken BCC from 400K capacity to 4m capacity (and provides Gboko with electricity, schools and hospitals)…
Meanwhile, Ibeto’s fellow Ibo kinsmen in Ebonyi State refused to allow him take control of Nkalagu until just a few years ago. SMH

Ugosample:
The Nigerian currency has been on free fall in the last 5 years.
Sentiments aside
Preserving your wealth in a family office abroad is the smartest play to make for any African rich man
Dangote wealth has been decimated kpata kpata under the dullard presidency
From N216 to N505
Half of your wealth
GONE

Once in a while after abusing and ridiculing Yoruba cultures that teach tolerance and accommodation, scholars and common people write to acknowledge and praise the culture.

It is a culture of tolerance that is rare in world studies and most people know it is not limited to religion.

My question is how far have those abusing and ridiculing the culture progressed at home while instigating caution in Yorubaland?

De suffer head wey dey for Naija don turn brains upsidedown.

Do you know of any ethnic group that celebrate getting married to Black as much as Africans?

I have never seen any ethnic group in the world take and tolerate as much abuse as Yoruba took in their own land.

The Youths are revolting against that.

Where did they get: This Is America. Love it Or Leave it.

This is a good development, no matter how you look at it.

My problem is where the profit is going? In Nigeria, Africa or Western countries.

Dangote recently announced he is going to invest the family wealth outside to preserve its worth. What is wrong with investing it at home where the profits are made?

This is exactly what foreign companies do. Their African Chief executives told us point blank that their first priority is to make money for their shareholders oversees.

Coca-cola, Guinness, Nestle and other multinational companies have been making profits in Africa for ages, even with local raw materials and cheap labor.

So what is the difference between them and Dangote, Odetola, Ibeto, Innoson and politicians laundering profits out of Africa?

I am glad e pain you well well. Those Arabs, Berbers, Fulani, Europeans, Americans and now Chinese that captured you are polygamists. You live in the most religious country in the world as you get poorer into ABJECT poverty.

What do you see when you look into the mirror called Bible? Think hard.

Let me educate for the last time:

This papal bull legally granted Portugal the right to enslave any and all people they encounter south of Cape Bojador, on the coast of Western Sahara. About midway through the bull, the Pope declares all Sub-Saharan Africans henceforth be held in perpetual slavery

You are not so coherent, calm down and ask your questions intelligently or dish-out your tirades in a systematic order as you may deem it fit.

If Christianity is a means to enslave or a way to slavery, what about scientists and researchers who are themselves Christians, are they also enslaved? You feel good eating apple from Israel or the western world, you are probably using one of their phones too. So how are you not also enslaved? Isn't it better to be zealously affected with what is good than to be affected by evil thing? Whatever is your spiritual persuasion or the form of belief you subscribe to, I'm sure somebody brought about those ideas and you embrace it, are you not also locally enslaved by accepting that. The English you type with, aren't they all imported items and you embrace it without questioning thereby making you a willing slave? You seems not to know that if categorizing everything from the western world as slavery, then you are also enslaved from your kindergarten to your university level. God is leading your soul to rest by introducing Christ to you, so embrace him and leave your old life behind. Stay blessed!

I was going to blast the talent and money launderer until I saw your post. Even then I disagree with you but only slightly.

OP, did you find out how much doctors make in Eastern Europe, Russia, China or Cuba?

Training these spoilt children in expensive medical schools in Nigeria is a waste of talents and resources because they see it as a ticket to Japa.

But put half of those resources in the School of Health Technology for Physician Assistants or Community Health Officers as in Cuba, Russia, India, China and Eastern Europe and watch them produce Nobel laureates like those countries.

These locally trained medical doctors are yet to live up to their potential even when Professors Kuti and Lambo invested heavily in them because they are like other Youths looking for foreign Salvation.

TCD:
OP dont be silly.

Listen to doctors in the profession and not non-medical people who know nothing about the field .

Finish your medschool in nigeria and you can migrate anywhere as long as your school is recognised.

All you need to do is write whatever licencing exam in your chosen country.

Eastern europe is possibly ukraine, georgia russia or one of those countries. Even if you want to practice in uk, canada or US with the certificate you will stil write the same licencing exam grad from nigeria or any other country writes before you can be licensed to practice.

So why waste three years of your life.

Your brain has been eaten by those who caught you as slaves and planted Christian and Muslim religions in your head.

Which part of Torah, Bible or Koran did your forgotten generation write?

No wonder you cherish serial monogamists with lovely children your housewives call bassttardd.

Even if you believe their Bible, how many women or choice did Adam have compared to young reasonable ladies that can prolong older men's life with sexy gray hair.

At what point were they the apple of God's eyes, definitely before they drifted. God is no respecter of any man.
David had that testimony even before he was anointed as king, but at the latter part of his life God told him "the sword shall not depart from your house'' 2 Sam 12:10.
Solomon was loved by God but the latter part of his life was in ruin, why? ''Was it not because of marriages like these that Solomon king of Israel sinned? Among the many nations there was no king like him. He was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel, but even he was led into sin by foreign women.'' Nehemiah 13:26
For Abraham though he am-mended his way by sending Hagar away as requested by his wife Sarah but the did has been done. Look at God's warning to Abraham after taken a long break from him that lasted for about 13years due to his immoral relationship with Hagar that led to the birth of Ishmael in Gen 17, '' And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect''.
Moses was never a polygamist, he stuck with his Ethiopia wife despite a tacit disapproval from Mariam and Aaron which led to Mariam being visited with leprosy, so read your bible well.
Gideon was a complete mess up at the latter part of his life, infact no one who seek to follow the way of God should desire such a life. His place in eternity is highly questionable for he did not only became a polygamy, he also went into idolatry.
For Jacob hope you saw what happened to his household, the envy, jealousy, murderous tendency, evil conspiracy, prolonged and hidden lies, selfishness. The turbulence resulting from his life of unrest made Jacob's life miserable, look at his submission in
''Gen 47: 8 Pharaoh asked him, “How old are you?”
9 And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The years of my pilgrimage are a hundred and thirty. My years have been few and difficult, and they do not equal the years of the pilgrimage of my fathers.''

Notwithstanding, the coming of Christ has cancelled any form of permissible disobedience to God's law especially in the area of marriage, it is so serious that even the disciples concluded it was better not to marry as stated below. So many people are actually going to end up in hell because of marital issue, if they do not seek the face of God. You can't beat your wife or keep a side chick or run a parallel relationship with another woman, and the woman other hand cannot divorce her husband or remarry as long as the first partner is alive. No extramarital affair is allowed after marriage, even if the world is going berserk or against this command they all will be judged at the end of time.

Matthew 19:10
The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

Find out the beginning of one wife one man introduced by Catholic Church to corner a man's wealth after his death.

Which country has one woman one man or which country denies children of other women child support?

Actually, these are children of polygamous families all over the world spewing hypocrisy of serial monogamists.

BTW, it take a while to be wealthy enough to afford a second wife if you are wise, like it comes with gray hair.
