Demichaels:
I intend to institute a legal action against one of the telecommunication Giants in Nigeria for violating my fundamental right as a customer. But I am scared because I don't know how much the litigation can cost me. I therefore need an advice from legal luminaries in the house on what I am likely to spend on a 50 million naira suit against the company. My most area of concern is on filing and service charges as well as what a competent advocate is likely to charge. A breakdown will be very useful.


I need to have a clue of these as well as others I don't know before approaching a lawyer. I don't even have or know a lawyer for now. Please, help a brother!!!!!

Please do not talk stupidly .Try to comprehend before talking. One of the biggest businesses in the world Walmart is made of stores so I am not speaking against stores as a business.If you do not understand that that is not my problem. Trading however is different from a business. Everyone knows that Dangote started as a trader, so spare me the sermon. The fact is not all traders are businessmen. There is a huge difference between the two which your Ladipo brethren have not grasped. We are talking of a scrap market selling parts of dismembered vehicles and FAKE parts.

SERIOUS BUSINESSMEN DO NOT SELL FAKES. That is the difference. A serious businessman does not seek to exploit you today and damn the consequences. He wants to build a REPUTATION....

What we have in Ladipo is a hybrid of criminality and "trading" selling butchered stolen vehicles and laundering drug money such things do not grow into Walmarts or Microsoft. Ask yourself this question.; Alaba market has been there for over 30 years why have they not progressed to manufacturing. Why have they not grown to the size wher they can offer warranties as you get in places like South Africa......

We are tolerant but your boastful nature can push saints to villainy

I like how responsible and civil your response is, now let's dissect the diversity in SW,
Do Aworis see themselves as Awori or yoruba? Do they mix with slave returnees like Cokers of this world,
2. Egun are not yoruba no matter how you try to deny this,
3. If ijebus are yoruba, why would a King come out and say that they migrated from Sudan!!!

The Awori of Lagos State occupy one the most important position in meaningful discussion of prehistory of Lagos state. More than any other group, they have contributed in large measure to shaping the political, social, economic and religious destiny of what is now known as Lagos state. The predynastic Lagosians are the Awori and Ijebu sub groups. The Awori are a dialect speaking sub-group of the Yoruba who are found in large concentration within the region of Lagos and Ogun states. They share common cultural values in varying degrees with other Yoruba and Edo groups. The legendary Ogunfunminire was their progenitor and his origin has been traced to Ile-Ife, the cradle of Yoruba civilization and culture, and undoubtedly of princely class.

The name Awori is used for the people of Yoruba, Benin origin who speak Awori dialect of the Yoruba. Supporting this view, Faluyi (1987) described the Awori as an organized set of people who formed a sub-group of the Yoruba and possess a distinctive speech which is recognizably a separate Yoruba dialect. Furthermore, Agiri and Barnes pointed out that:

"There are strong indications that the people now known as Awori represent a long and uneven movement of people from Ketu, Egbado, Oyo, and no doubt, other origins, who were forced by warfare and slave raids, and this was occurring as early as the 14th and 15th centuries prior to, and perhaps extending into the same period that saw Benin March Westwards."

This positions was further embellished by the colonial description of the Awori that the racially, they appear to be a mixture of the Yoruba and the Benin and their immigration into the region of coastal Yorubaland coincided with Benin conquest or rather absorption of Lagos and its adjacent villages and hamlets.

The Lagos state Awori are distinguished by four main factors; the language which is a variation of Yoruba dialect, traditions of ancestral migrations from Ile-Ife, traditions among their rulers of common descent from Oduduwa, the eponymous hero of the Yoruba and traditions of consanguineous affinal relationships resulting from the ancestry of various ruling classes and cultural heritage, as well as diffusion through migrations and interactions. Common historical experiences, similar geographical environment, cultural diffusion, migration as well as conjugal ties have made the Lagos Awori cultural homogenous.

The other major predynastic inhabitants are the Ijebu. The Ijebu are a dialect speaking sub group of the Yoruba. They have traditions linking their origin to Ile-Ife, the cradle of Yoruba civilization. Some of the early settlement include Remo and Ijebu Ode from where many settlers migrated to the region of modern day Lagos State. http://www.edoworld.net/PRE_DYNASTIC_LAGOSIANS.html

2. Egun are not yoruba no matter how you try to deny this,

Badagry´s original name was Gbagle a contraction of the word Ogbaglee, meaning in Ogu (not Egun, as commonly mis-pronounces and mis-spelt) “a farmland near the swamp”. The Ogu people are historically reputed to have migrated from the ancient Ketu,(part of Oduduwa’s Kingdom) and they left Ile-ife around the mid-13th.Century, for Accra in Gold Coast. The Ga/Ewe(Aja-Ogu) speaking group of today´s Ghana are indeed the kith and kin of the Ogu of Badagry. The history of Badagry has a fascinating tradition of Kingship (Wheno-Aholu) and local administration.

The ancient town of Badagry is divided into eight quarters namely: Jegba, Ahoriko, Awhanjigoh, Boekoh, Persuka, Wharakoh and Ganho and its adjoining villages on both the mainland and island, have for century recognised the Wheno Aholu Akran of Badagry, of which there have been seventeen from the earliest time to the present Akran, Menu Toyi I crowned in 1977. http://association-of-lagos-state-origin-hamburg-ev.com/contents/people

3. If ijebus are yoruba, why would a King come out and say that they migrated from Sudan!!

The Ijebu People

THE Ijebu People inhabit the South-Central part of Yorubaland - a territory that is bounded in the North by Ibadan, in the East by Ondo, Okitipupa and the West by Egbaland. The Southern fringe is open to the sea with the coastlines of Epe, Ejinrin and Ikorodu. Despite the political division which has these three towns in Lagos while the main part of Ijebuland is Ogun State, the people have always regarded themselves as one entity, even when the immigration ­legends which have often been cited point in dif­ferent directions.

There are immigration legends which tend to link the Ijebu with the biblical Jebusites and Noah (hence Omoluwabi -- omo ti Noah bi -- the children of Noah) but these are farfetched. Other immigration legends trace the origin of Yoruba people, and by implication, the Ijebu to Mecca where Oduduwa, the legendary ancestor of the Yoruba, was said to be the son of King Lamurudu.....

Ijebu traditional historians tend to stick to the migra­tion legend that the people migrated to their present territory from a region of Sudan called Waddai, which means that the Ijebu had a parallel migration wave just like other Yoruba who believe they came to their present abode via Oduduwa. That claim seems to be corroborated by a publication by one Hailemariam which states that "the most powerful people that the Negede Orit (ancient Ethiopian immigrant into Africa) met in East Africa were the Jebus." Their King was claimed to be so influential, that he appointed the gover­nors of Yemen. If that king was the same Olu-Iwa, the legendary first Ruler of Ijebuland, we do not know.

There is a lot of evidence in support of the fact that the Ijebus migrated into Nigeria from Sudan. The most ob­vious is the Sudanese tribal mark which, though varied, is duplicated all over Yorubaland. In particular, the three ver­tical marks on both cheeks are the national marks in Ijebu...

The first major wave of Sudanese that entered Nigeria was led by Iwase who came to Ife several centu­ries before the major Sudanese immigrations under Oduduwa and Olu-Iwa. The Iwase group of immigrants came during the reign of Esumare of Ife Erinrin. The next group of Sudanese immigrants were the Ijebus and the kindred peoples under Olu-Iwa, who entered the country at about the same time as the Yoruba under Oduduwa....

The bulk of Yoruba people regard the ljebus as peripheral Yoruba, while the ljebus themselves do not hide the fact that the cohesion between them and others who call themselves central Yoruba has been the result of cultural and political interaction over the centuries. Time itself has taken care of these legends as the various groups of people in Western Nigeria have come to accept a common Nationality as Yoruba, be they Ekiti, Ijesha, Egba, Ondo, Ijebu, etc.. Even among the Ijebus, there are conflicting claims to the source of origin depending on the political intention of those concerned.

Irrespective of these claims, the Ijebus are united under the leadership of the Awujale of Ijebuland and this unity is the strength of the people as exhibited by their achievements in the past 40 years of the reign of Oba Sikiru Adetona, Ogbagba II. http://www.ijebuassociation.org/DiscoverIjebuland/Ourorigin1/ctl/Details/mid/5740/itemid/169SkinSrc=%5bL%5dSkins%2fIjebuSkin%2findex

I will gain nothing by denigrating the North. You are right, I served in Sokoto and it was an amazing year. I will always cherish the fond memories...

Lastly, I am Yoruba by tribe but acknowledge the Igbos have far developed their regions (except for Lagos) more than we have. There are still mud houses in my village. Most Igbo villages I have visited have been upgraded to towns with contemporary styled Architecture. The primary reason is because, Igbos have industralized their regions, embraced education (an average Igbo person can at least speak a derivative of English - pidgin) advanced in the tenets of global trade and promote a congruous culture of upgrading their homestead before others. On the other hand, we Yorubas are very enlightened and educated but often times incongruous. We will rather develop the cosmopolitan cities than develop our villages.

My 2 cents though!

NaijaTalkTown:
Since there are Igala people in Anambra and Edo, those states are automatically parts of Igalaland (Ibo logic applied).

Daniel Okechukwu said in a REACTION to a NewsRescue post on Biafra agitation:

Hausa people can not stop Biafra. Yoruba people can not stop Biafra. Igbos can NEVER actualize the their dream land of Biafra because of the Igbos themselves.....

My advice to the youth is to let go. Whoever that’s mobilising you to agitate for Biafra again is making fortune out of your blood and you won’t know until it cost you your life. Use your time well for life has no duplicate!

I have come to realise that South west is very diverse, they comprise of different ethnic nationality but conquered and dominated by yorubas. The word yoruba to me seems to be a unifying coinage just like Anioma, to bring bring all different ethnic nationals together.
However, unlike Anioma, different ethnic nationals in South west have nothing in common, aside that, they adopted yoruba language as a lingual franca..
among them are 1. Aworis : they occupy some parts of ogun state lagos and ondo state they have different culture and background, they have stated that they are not yorubas 2. The ijebus are fierce and aggressive, they have also affirmed that they migrated from sudan, so they can not be regarded as yorubas, 3. The Egun, they are found in Benin republic, lagos, Ogunn state and some part of oyo state. They have nothing in common with yorubas both in culture and language, they are the only one still tied to their traditional, maybe because they are very conservative.
others are ekiti, egba, ife, etc all these ones have aligned fully to the big family yoruba. but the question is who is the pure yoruba, because I hear people describe some with funny tags and names.. I need a very serious clarification here

kernel501:
Ojukwu fought, later went on exile, remember "he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day".
In Awolowo's case he couldn't fight, rather he committed suicide, is a shame. Is that why you don't like discussing his death?
