megawealth01:When you invest in the NGX it is into a particular company and your fortune is therefore tied to how good the managers are not to the government anymore or to inflation. The most important things government needs to do as regards the NGX is to get more companies to list and monitor them well also have good rules. That is all there is needed. Not fixed rules but flexible rules that changes when needed. Then if no currency restrictions then the stock exchange will do better because forex from foreign investors will move freely 1 Like |

lionshare:The current population figures and sharing formula at ederal level is based on a fraudulent census. That is one issue then there is no basis for saying Ekiti and Kano or Lagos or Rivers or Ogun etc should have the same number of senators making decisions. It does not matter if the US is doing t. This is Nigeria. If I pay more tax, it is evidence I have more population and there are other stats like active SIM cards etc that can be used and they say the same thing. I should have representation according to tax paid. Then I as a Yoruba man want a Yoruba country where Yoruba is the official language just like I want a Gerrmany where German is the official language. I want an Ijesa land controlling its own police and army divisions Those are all the issues I personally have |

When the currency is devalued the total market cap will go up in response while the nominal value of your bank savings remain the same. If the company was in huge debt before the devaluation, it will amount to a substantial debt wipe off |

| Politics › Ijesa Land Is A Country On Its Own by lawani(op): 6:48am On Oct 17 |
IJESA LAND IS A COUNTRY ON ITS OWN. The people of Ijesa should always remember this. Their portion of Earth is their portion of Earth and it is their duty to develop it. What of if it is the one sovereign country left that you are a member of? There are many well known countries not up to half of Ijesa. Therefore when you have succeeded in growing a business, you might have branches in Abuja, Lagos, PH and etc but if the origin of the business is Ilesa then leave your corporate headquarters and the staff in Ilesa. If they are only fifty individuals they will add to the economic activity of Ilesa and it will not substantially reduce what is happening in other places but you would have ensured that what is right by the origin of the business was done. Who will develop your capital for you if you are shying away from doing so? Port Harcourt for instance has many Ijesa people but the city will never be described as a city built by the Ijesa. The success of Lagos will never be ascribed to Lebanese Nigerians despite that they have been there for over a century. There have been Portuguese in Yoruba land for centuries and there are titled Yoruba families of Portuguese origin but the success of Ibadan or Lagos etc will never be ascribed to the Portuguese. Therefore, think home, not every time but when you began a business there let the corporate headquarters remain there as it does not stop or hinder activity in any other place in anyway. Ilesa too is big as the metropolitan area must contain up to a million people presently meaning that if there is an airport or air travel becomes more affordable , the airport will be very busy. The route to the US, London, Lagos, Ibadan, PH, Abuja Kano etc will be very busy. So your real country is Ijesa as Ijesa people. Any other thing is alignment after negotiations. When you work in Kaduna, Enugu, PH, Lagos, Kano etc, always remember home. There was Ilesa before most of those places. 1 Like |

| Politics › The Yoruba And Nigeria by lawani(op): 12:23am On Oct 17 |
THE YORUBA AND NIGERIA Enugu with its 400 billion naira igr of 2025 has shown that there is no state without money. Then if we put aside the constitution inspired by the manipulated colonial census, the Yoruba will emerge as the highest populated in the country. Even now they are, if you add their numbers in the SS and NC to the SW. The Hausa have no cities under their control outside the NW and their top five cities added together are not up to the Lagos metropolis in population. A fair constitution and every unit generating revenue at the same rate will entitle the Yoruba to three times of whatever the Igbos get assuming everybody have the same revenue drive and substantially more than whatever the Hausa gets. If Nigeria remains and the Presidency goes to the North it will have to go to the second most populated group in the North for fairness since the song now is about zoning and that group is the Northern Yoruba which hasn't produced any Nigerian President. The SW is more than double the SE in population and they should get anything in the south more than double what the SE gets. Why? Because they are full human beings too just like other people and they can't give up their slots to others. However why Nigeria isn't good for the Yoruba is that it is a colonial estate and the Yoruba are big enough to stand on their own. They will add more value to the world by standing on their own. If the Yoruba can't stand on their own then there is not a single real country in West Africa 1 Like 1 Share |
| Culture › Alignment And Origin- Citizenship As A Result Of Alignment by lawani(op): 11:14am On Oct 16 |
ALIGNMENT AND ORIGIN CITIZENSHIP AS A RESULT OF ALIGNMENT (OTURUPON OGBE) Alignment is like marriage. It starts after a form of oath taking while origin can be anything up to arbitrary. DNA does not count. Our family as an example are Ijesa and the title of the Agbo ile in Ere Ijesa is Ejemu. I think the current one is number eight or nine. The first one is called Ejemu Agba and he came with all his family from Ijero now in Ekiti state after someone younger than him was made the family head back there and he refused to submit. He left with wives, children, slaves, animals and other properties and settled at Ere Ijesa where he was given land and title. From that day he became Ijesa and he would join an Ijesa war against Ijero or serve to make sure it does not happen. Normally, you can not as a Yoruba person marry a member of your own compound or Agbo ile and you also can not marry anybody with who you share a common ancestor known to somebody still alive but now, I or my siblings, cousins etc can possibly marry someone from our old compound or Agbo ile in Ijero since we are no longer under one roof. We do not speak the Ijero dialect in Ere Ijesa yet every member of our quarters is descended from Ejemu Agba who came from Ijero directly. We have fought for Ijesa and we have participated in other ways. We had a war leader called Ejemu Obe during the Kiriji war who was, I think the grandfather of my grandfather and we have produced Osomaalos that were very successful and etc and though we were not there when Ijesa was founded maybe one thousand years ago but we have been there for over three hundred years with traditional land and title. Therefore alignment is what makes a citizen. Alignment with the constitution, culture, aspiration and etc of the land. In Ijesa, there are families from all over Yoruba land including Oyo, Benin, Ijebu, Ondo and etc, all with traditional land and title and that is why they are called Ijo esa shortened to Ijesa meaning the congregation of those that were carefully chosen or of the elite and in actual fact all nations are like that. If you marry a daughter of the Ejemu family and you stay on the land then you will become a part of the family. Your children can potentially become the family head and infact Ejemu Agba can incarnate in your children because it is his territory. He can incarnate in your children if you are very successful on his land |

Many of the people online do not research before making posts and some of them are deliberately doing what they do What non indigenes own in any state isn't very significant. This is so even in the most cosmopolitan cities of PH, Abuja and etc including Lagos. There is still empty land in Abuja technically owned by the natives. At least Ninety percent of Abuja should be empty If you work anywhere, own business anywhere and etc you will own property there and that is no big deal. There are cities on Earth like Dubai where non indigenes are the majority and they are still not integrated at all. Yet they have property there. So non indigenes should stop drawing unnecessary attention to themselves. No big deal in owning property while local people too should do all they can to preserve the integrity of their land and identity whilst welcoming new people 2 Likes |

| Culture › Facts About Igala, Igbo And Yoruba by lawani(op): 7:36pm On Oct 15 |
Facts about Igala, Igbo and Yoruba Igala are a proto Ife people who have Ife on their land and who speak a Yoruboid language that has a dialectic variance with Yoruba language. Ife is what the Yoruba call the first human civilization and having Ife on their land and they have even more than one Ife shows that the Igala ancestors and Yoruba ancestors were the same people of ancient Ife origin. Regardless of what DNA results says BECAUSE DNA tests definitely can say something different There are still tradition in Igala land saying an Onu of Ife will traditionally not bow to the Attah of Igala The Attah is however the royal father of the Igala who is headquartered at Idah which is said to mean where the road ends and this will be because it is on the river Niger and the road ends there. You can only cross the river with a boat How did the Attah become the head of Igala? I will posit that the Jukun displaced the Ife people and Ife relocated to their current location on the land of the Ugbo taking over a town formerly called Ugbomokun. Ugbomokun became the new Ife and the old place on Igala territory was left to the Jukun. However remnants of the exiled royal family are obviously still there because that is the only reason the tradition will persist that the Onu of Ife Omala does not bow to the Attah. Now, if the Igbo came from a certain Ife then it would be the Ife Omala of the Igala and not the present Ile Ife. Is there any evidence for this? Yes because almost all the Igbos of Nsukka area in Enugu as well as some in Anambra claim origin from Igala and there are also core Igalas among them. ERI one of the acknowledged Igbo ancestors is also associated with Igala. How did the Igbos develop the OSU caste? In my opinion, any isolated community may develop a caste system though there are probably some that did not. When no wars mixing people together violently then a caste system will most likely develop by them not marrying strangers who may be slaves exchanged for farm produce or by them isolating their own members for one reason or the other and putting the outcast label on them. How can OSU form in a land like say Ijesa where the capital of over 50k people could be abandoned at short notice due to threat of war? A war that will lead to enslavement in another city entirely? Then if you capture an Ijesa princess in war, you wouldn't put her in an OSU quarters in a village, you would marry her or sell her to a chief that would marry her. One of my ancestors captured in Ibokun Ijesa by the Ibadan was married off to the Balogun Sagamu in faraway Ogun state in this way and she gave birth to the mother of my paternal grandfather and I am an extant member of the House of the Balogun Sagamu because of that. Even if you capture an Ijesa man, he maybe a skilled person because city people generally have more skills than villagers and a skilled person can earn status. A caste system can not coalesce under such circumstances. The first Igbos were people whose philosophy is that their community must always split as soon as they are over like 2000 individuals so that it can be governed by a village assembly easily. If it reaches like five thousand individuals, it may require a King or an elite government and they wanted to avoid this, so their model was to break up when they had grown in population to say over two thousand individuals in order to avoid having to form government. Such a model would lead to a rapid population growth and a high population over a relatively short period at the expense of empire building or nation building which requires at least one big city of up to fifty thousand population where there will be a King and a ruling elite They took in words from their neighbors and their language and vocabulary formed overtime. At least neighbouring villages would be able to understand each other. Where I did my NYSC is a border community between Igala land and Igbo land. Eke Avrugo in Igalamela-Odolu Kogi state. The village is an Nri village because it has the caste system with one quarters for the OSU. There is one quarters where they are greeted Dorga and those ones are from Igala. The Dorga own almost all the land in the village. There is Ozara quarters and those ones probably came from Igbo land. There is Ologdi signifying those who don't marry in time or who refuse to marry. A total of four quarters in the town. The real King is the head of the Dorga family. One of them is my friend John Audu who was hacked to death in Italy by Enoch Adeboye of the RCCG. The head of the Ologdi is like the Prime Minister chosen to correspond with Idah on their behalf. The village speaks Igbo as first language but there is hardly any adult that does not understand Igala in the village. They generally believe in the village that if Nigeria breaks up, they will be in the same country with Igbos and that one river to the North towards Idah will be the boundary. They also pride themselves in saying they didn't lose any of their members during the Nigerian civil war. The Igala themselves do not have a caste system but Eke Avrugo has despite that only one quarter of Ozara is likely to be of full Igbo descent of the four quarters in the village if my guess is right. As a border community, the place is a hybrid. The Dorga are the highest caste in the village and yet they are not Igbos. One can't say they are Igbos in their quarters because they speak Igala, bear Igala names and bear Igala marks on their faces yet they have a daughter disowned for marrying an Osu that I heard of as at then. That is how Igbo and Igala are mixed. I do not think there is any community more representative of the mixture than Eke Avrugo. The next village to the North whose name I can not remember now speaks Igala first. Conclusion The Yoruba are still carrying their Ife tradition which is really old The Igala have the same tradition which is impossible to deny or at least it's relics and they have multiple Ife on their land too. The current Attah and the title itself is probably of Jukun origin. Igbo and Igala are undeniably linked with the closest Igbo communities to Idah paying traditional tributes to Idah up till this day. Igala language is mixed with Jukun, Nupe, Ebira etc Igbo is mixed with Ijaw, Efik, Ibibio, Orring etc Yoruba is mixed with Nuoe, Bariba, Egun, Hausa and etc That in my opinion should account for the major differences in the languages though I have not done any study on that. If any Ife joined the Yoruba with the Igbos, it would be the Ife Omala of the Igala and not the current ife recognized by the Yoruba The OSU caste system was probably established by small communities that refused Kingship and they might have been originally from Igala territory and the reason their language changed would be trade with other groups coming to their markets. The Igbos also have intersection with the Ibibio via the Arochukwu but I believe most scholars would agree that the Igala connection is much earlier . |
| Politics › No Group Is Trying To Divide The Igbos by lawani(op): 7:28pm On Oct 15 |
No group is trying to divide the Igbos. What would someone like Aare Obadoke Latoosa of Ibadan call the territory that was under the control of Ibadan at its height? No known name. They just knew there were lands including non Yoruba speaking lands under their control. They sent Ajeles (district officers) to these lands so that they can be up to date about what is possible to be taxed in the economy. They protect these lands militarily but to the best of my knowledge they had no name for the territory. They allowed the people on the land to run their own affairs so far they pay tax and only disputes that can't be settled locally gets to maybe the Alaafin. It was an indirect rule and there is no name for the territory that I know of. Even in the traditional Yoruba land. A father will settle despite between children, the family head between family members and a dispute between two people from different families might be settled by someone at the local palace etc etc What did they call Yoruba speaking lands? It would be 'ile Kaaro o jiire' which is still what it is called today. It means the land where people are greeted 'Good morning and did you wake up well?'. Can any one King speak on behalf of the whole Yoruba today? Possibly on some issues but on all issues, not likely because the Yoruba have different nations and each nation has its own constitution that is substantially different from any other. They also have substantially different accounts of the same history. The accounts sometimes border on being contradictory. So if the Yoruba can not really tell their own members what to do and it is only that most will naturally agree to be in one country if Nigeria divides or in the same region if there is a restructuring, how then can the same Yoruba people be the one to tell any Igbo group how to align as many Igbos online are saying? If Jebba or Ilorin have a traditional leadership saying they prefer to join Northern Nigeria or stand alone then there is nothing really than appeal to them that any Yoruba can do. It is good and it is the best for the Igbo speaking people to be together in one country or in one region. Any non Igbo working against such would be wrong. You can't be working against someone's prosperity that never hurt you and expect to prosper yourself. You would be like the proverbial baby whose intention is that it's mother will not get any sleep, the baby itself will also not get any sleep will be the status quo. Therefore no reasonable Yoruba person is against Igbo, Ijaw, Hausa and etc unity even if there are Yoruba people commenting jokes online. What I believe should be done is that those who have traditional right over different parts of Igbo land should be known and acknowledged because no matter what, their position will be what will be reflected in any referendum held on their land, so to save time, it is better to work with the recognized land owners without bringing in the Yoruba or Hausa and etc into the discourse at all. Then maybe the fear is that some Igbo land would join the Yoruba region or even country? while some also decide to join Northerners? Then propose a constitution that will give them all the autonomy they want starting with a state police and if they still want to opt out then you take whatever is left. The Yoruba, Hausa and etc will gladly accept any group that is okay with their constitution and rightly so. There are also non Igbos in all Igbo states currently. |

| Agriculture › Why Do High Income Countries Subsidize Agriculture? by lawani(op): 9:54am On Oct 15 |
WHY DO HIGH INCOME COUNTRIES SUBSIDIZE AGRICULTURE? High income countries subsidize agriculture because if they do not then all food consumed in their countries will be imported and a country that imports all its food does not really have an economy no matter how much it thinks it does. All food will be imported because the local farmers will not be able to produce anything at all profitably and this is because the government approved minimum wage is by far too high by global standards. For example, if every farmer in Nigeria must pay a farm hand at least USD 3000 per month then the farmers will have to close as they will not be able to compete with imported food. Therefore the government will have to subsidize them if they do not want the economy to tank. So that is the situation that led to the governments of high income nations subsidizing agriculture. The agricultural sector of the economy is what all other sectors are built on. It is your arable land as a nation that ultimately determines your population and the people working on the arable land are the farmers. It is the population that determines the relevance of a nation. The most important sector of the economy is agriculture and no serious government will look on when farmers can not break even unless they sell food at 200 percent of international price. They can look on if no other thing can be produced in the country competitively at least for a while but not food. No government will follow the free market ideology to that extent |

| Culture › The Types Of Debates That Happen In Heaven And On Earth by lawani(op): 3:56pm On Oct 14 |
The types of debates that happen in heaven and on Earth. In heaven, it is a society of debates. On Earth here too if we really consider it it is also debates and we move forward by answering questions, solving problems and etc and that is also debate. The most physically rigorous and animalistic form of debate is warfare. The most sophisticated type of debate is to fight just with the intellect without physical violence. In heaven, there are three types of debate and they are Osa meji Osa Irosun Ofun Osa Osa Meji This debate happens between two spirits on incarnation and never between two spirits not on an incarnation. If you are in heaven as in not incarnated and you start an Osa Meji debate then you must incarnate within ten months. It is infact a prerequisite for incarnation. Such debate is not allowed for spirits in heaven who are not on an incarnation. The characteristics is that someone says something and another person energetically or violently oppose it then Osa meji will be entered for both with a gestation period of two years. It can be 'Nigeria will break up! Said by one person and vehemently opposed by another. It will be recorded and whoever loses will go down in empathy rank and if you go down from the last of six ranks, that will be death in heaven. Osa Meji therefore can lead to death for a spirit never to reincarnate again. Evil doing too can lead to death in the same way. All the other spirits in heaven who are not on an incarnation will be helping their friends to win debates but they can't start anything on their own unless they are coming to Earth and if they come they can not initiate debate by themselves until they know themselves but their spirits obviously can be embroiled in a debate they didn't start. For instance if you try to kill a baby on a mission on Earth, the Ori will oppose you and fight you down but such rarely happens. Osa Irosun This kind of debate happens inside the God grid and it was where the resolution to end religion on Earth was passed. Nobody loses anything here but motions are passed that binds all human beings. You don't drop in empathy rank if your motion is not passed. The participants are Olodumare, the Iyami Eleye and some light spirits at the highest empathy rank of Oyeku ika. They are light because they have never been incarnated. According to Ifa, no life is better than a life of Osa Irosun. There are people on Earth who are in the God grid as well and they are all females. Ofun Osa This is a debate between any two random spirits in heaven that are not on incarnation. It is always about how to share proceeds from something they both worked for and the way it is resolved is to go to the most senior primary protector among the primary protectors of both and the spirit will pass a judgement. If between two primary protectors, I believe the judgement will be passed by the most senior one. Ofun Osa can also happen between two spirits in heaven when both are on incarnation or one of them is on an incarnation. This is because heaven life goes on whether or not a spirit is on n incarnation Here on Earth, two primary protectors can not have issues between themselves to the point of animosity. They will settle it amicably The future of the Earth It is where wars are won without violence without anyone raising arms. There will still be disputes but the weapons used to drive home points will not be material. It will be the intellect. It will then be similar to how it is in heaven. No violence or evil doing in heaven. |

Racoon:Not only the naira. All currencies. When you print it it depreciates in value automatically but this Tinubu administration is yet to print any. The value is stable and that is why global financial organizations are commending the administration |

The amount in 1970 could buy 18 bags of rice which today is worth around one million naira. The eighteen naira of 1970 is worth around one million naira on October 14 2026. A newly built home in Bodija could be bought outrightly for 1200 pounds. The value of 25;Nigerian pounds was around 70 US dollars in 1970 25 Nigerian pounds represented two percent of the amount needed to build a small home in a highbrow area like Bodija estate back then. That was one of the prime estates in Nigeria as at 1970. Things have really changed! 18 naira represented two percent of the value of prime real estate bought off developers. Not the one you built by direct labor by yourself

222Martins:You are very correct. There is already examples to follow. Wema bank is there and a few other companies including insurance companies originally founded by the western region and they are doing well on the NGX. All those companies you listed and more can earn income for the government. They should be able to earn more income than crude oil because they potentially will have more workers than the oil and gas upstream sector whose workforce may not exceed some thousands in Nigeria |

lionshare:We have been in a situation of epileptic power for decades while all our neighbors had no such problem This is why it is certainly true that if we were not one we would at east be like our neighbors. Those countries are better than Nigeria. Nigeria only has population. There are Nigerian immigrant workers doing salary jobs in Ghana and etc just like we have them in Canada, US etc. How many of them are here like that? So stop deceiving yourself that Nigeria is more prosperous. Who receives net immigrant workers is deemed the better run country anywhere in the world Edit I am not saying Nigeria has no advantages but many of the advantages are due to the huge population. If Ghana had the population Ghollywood would be big too. Accra might rank above Lagos in everything if the metro area contained 17 million people etc etc |

mikeapollo:If a man with twenty children is managing an income of 100k per month for the family with the children begging on the streets, there may be an illusion of being rich if his salary is increased to 150k especially if no plan to upgrade living standards but is the family rich? No they are richer than they were before but not well off. You have to look at HDI especially then infrastructure before you can say any country is doing well. If you say the western region of Nigeria was doing very well in the 1950s I would agree with you. Even today the HDI and infrastructure, industrialization, non oil forex and etc of the area isn't that bad but it is deteriorating due to Nigeria as a whole. Nigeria of the 1970s did not have the properties of a rich country. Low HDI, out of school kids, no access to healthcare and etc were the order of the day 1 Like |

mikeapollo:So Nigeria is wealthy because of a statement made by General Gowon? Consider that some countries with one tenth of Nigeria's population have more than double Nigeria's oil production. What do you call those ones if you call Nigeria wealthy based on General Gowon's statement that was made because of oil and gas?. A country can only become wealthy only if the government has a large revenue to GDP ratio to improve the HDI and the infrastructure. It is never because of what lies under the ground that was there millions of years ago when hunter gatherers lived on the land |
