If you sell NNPC, you will still need a new NNPC to oversee the privatized NNPC. What you can sell are companies like the refineries and etc.

The chief duty of the NNPC is to monitor the joint venture partners as representative of the owner of the oil. How can a private company do this better than a national company?. A small oil producing nation like Norway has not privatized its oil company.

faoogoke:
Point of correction. Ibadan is a town not a city.
There is no city is Nigeria going by the definition of city.
What we have are big and beautiful towns

What is the definition of a city to you?. The accepted definition is by population. There were cities even thousands of years ago.

Oturupon Oyeku

Omo Ajanaku ki ya rara
Omo ti Eya ba bi Eya ni njo

A difa fun Alaafin Abiodun ti yio Ku ti omo re meta yio si je Alaafin
Won ni KO Rubo
O gbebo o Rubo
Atiba Oba ni
Ladigbolu oba ni
Adeyemi Oba ni


The kid of an elephant can never be a dwarf.
Any kid birthed by Eya will resemble Eya.

This was the IFA cast for Alaafin Abiodun who had three sons that became the Alaafin.
Atiba was Oba
Ladigbolu was Oba.
Adeyemi was Oba.

Note.

Alaafin Abiodun was the popular and well liked Alaafin of Oyo who survived the intrigues of Bashorun Gaha. He outwitted him and saw his end but it was after a brutal civil war in the capital that took a lot of lives.
His is a very eminent Yoruba family whose children did exploits. Three of them were Alaafins of Oyo, one was the first Balogun Ajikobi of Ilorin whose descendant put Ilorin under British protection in the late nineteenth century. One was the Lagosian Shitta Bey who built the Lagos central mosque. The Bey title is the highest title or honor that can be bestowed by the Ottoman empire which was the leading Islamic empire of the late nineteenth century. The first Shitta Bey and the first Ajikobi were brothers that escaped from the Oyo empire when Muslims were being attacked after the killing of the Aare ona Kakanfo by Ilorin Muslims. Shitta Bey fled to Sierra Leone from where he relocated to Lagos while Ajikobi fled to Ilorin.

It is the Holy book that is driving me hard.

Cast IFA for the Muslim that abstained from alcohol on Earth while expecting to drink to stupor in heaven.

He was advised to sacrifice
He listened but did not comply.
On looking people of Po and Offa!
Drink alcohol here on Earth if you want because there is no guarantee you will be served in heaven.

A poor man’s opinion must always be countered.

This was the IFA cast for the person who was attacking and disrespecting Akin Lawanson who was working ardently for the progress of humanity when he had no paid employment.

This was the IFA cast for the banking institution which is the go to place for those who have excess cash and those who need cash.

Obara Otura

It was cast for Akin Lawanson whose grand marriage was sealed by the CIA.

He was advised to sacrifice
He listened and complied
On looking people of Po and Offa.
Always give contract to those who know the trade.

Note

In the olden days, many marriages used to be sealed without the input of the prospective spouses and the marriages prospered.


Otura Owonrin

The cow did not come before the fodder nor the fodder before the cow.


This was the IFA cast for Akin Lawanson who attacked Darwin’s theory of evolution by saying
‘All species within any habitat are of the same chronological age.
He was advised to sacrifice.
He listened and complied
Onlooking people of Po and Offa!
Evolution does not answer the question of existence.

Ofun ika
A government's duty is to create paradise on Earth

Cast IFA for the government that guarantees good paying jobs and lengthy holidays for all citizens.

They were advised to sacrifice
They listened and complied.

To guarantee jobs and lengthy holidays for every citizen, the system have to be communist. It can however be free market as well.


Okanran irosun
What is good for the goose is not good for the gander.
This was the IFA cast for the king who is being bowed that to but said the spirits of his ancestors must not be venerated because it is idol worshiping.

OSE ika

The mind once enlightened can never again become dark.

Cast IFA for the person who upon learning IFA never let go of it anymore or for any reason.


Ogbe Otura.
It is in the best interest of everybody for minimum wage to be a living wage

Cast IFA for the government always fixing minimum wage to be a living wage because they and everyone will gain from it.

When minimum wage is too low and can not afford a worker the necessities of life, the GDP will fall since people will buy less. It is in the best interest of businesses, the government and everybody in the country for minimum wage to be a living wage.


Osa Obara

When the traffic light goes green is when you step on the throttle

The day Akin Lawanson won, she hopped on the first plane to Nigeria

Lizzysamuel:
I'm not even surprised with this report, when I was doing my NYSC in one of the states in the west, you needed to see how girls troop into my neighbors room by name Femi.

Infact, this young man can sleep with more than 5 girls in a day.

I will be in my room and be hearing their different moans..

The worst is always in the night.. I will just be praying for day to break, so that I will go to my PPA.

This Femi tried to woo me because he thought I was like their girls. Lmao.

Abii is it Iya Tope, that works in the ministry of transport? This woman will just be bringing men into her room. At first I thought she wasn't married. But the day her daughter came back from Abeokuta and I started hearing her call the woman mommy. I was like.. wtf.

I later found out from the girl that their dad was in Abeokuta and it was the person she visited.

From my experience in the west, I think Infidelity & promiscuity in marriage are part of yoruba culture.

There are no consequences for infidelity in yoruba culture. Both the girls and boys are so loose.

The stats did not talk about results but about those who paid for tests therefore your inference about infidelity is uncalled for. The Yoruba and Hausa may care less about paternity tests since they have widespread polygamy while Igbos are more monogamous. The average head of a polygamous family is more mature than that of a monogamous family

In my opinion the most essential feature of a smart city is that share riding by software application be available. If a city is smart, you will not need at all a personal car and driver to move around conveniently.
There are many companies like Uber, Bolt, Taxify and etc providing this very crucial service but they have not reached all the Earth's cities. For example, Ilesa is a metropolis of up to 1.8 million but share riding is not yet available there.
We have a short time to live in one life time and every convenience should be within reach of all as soon as possible after they are developed.

You have no right to be saying people who don't believe your tales will go to hell

Racism is when you think your DNA makes you superior
Religion is when you think your spirituality or spiritual beliefs makes you superior.

Note
What can make you superior is your character.

Nigeria's real consumption is definitely more than one fourth of US consumption going by the population ratio of say 350 to 220. The US can not consume five times of what Nigeria consumes in reality. It just seem so because services and rent are too expensive in high income nations. The real GDP of the USA is not up to five times that of Nigeria to just put it mildly

Isese is good culture while religion is bad culture. Isese has always been there whereas religion which is trying to unify the world spiritually started with Christianity. They not only try to unify the world spiritually but also threaten dissenters or unbelievers solemnly with eternal damnation. They do it with confidence and effrontery. That is religion which started with Apostle Paul. Christianity started as reform Judaism which the Jews did not buy into. They rounded up the Christians or Nazarenes and prosecuted them. Apostle Paul himself was a leader in this only for him to be converted by the same Nazarenes after which he devoted his life to propagating the new theology or spirituality. It was Apostle Paul that started converting Gentiles to Christianity and we have not recovered from it as at AD 2024.
A religion is when you know it all about God and you are condemning dissenters to hell fire. Iseese is not that. Hinduism is not that. Shintoism is not that. Maiguzuwa is not that. Dibia is not that. Buddhism is not that.
If you classify traditional spiritualities as religion you are mixing things up in a way that they should not be mixed up. As the Yoruba say, you are doing keranmero. You are classifying human beings and animals as the same.

Menclothing1:
They still use electricity to charge am using solar not everyday sun is good to charge

There are thousands that are not connected to phcn at all and the number is increasing. My sister's family in Ibadan is one

Menclothing1:
You mean solar system? Will affect disco ?

People are going off grid in their thousands.

Menclothing1:
Each state should have its own distribution company working along with state gov

People are growing off grid is a problem for power companies in Africa and Asia

The problem is there is no future for the electrical power grid in Africa etc. Sun king is gradually making the grid irrelevant.

The problem is not with the type of oath taking. Pre colonial ibadan was corrupt too and they were practicing traditional spirituality.

A holy book is a book or publication that must never be questioned. All holy books deal with spirituality. The first holy book is the Jewish Torah but it is different from the Christian Bible and the muslim Quran because the adherents do not aim to convert the whole world. Their spirituality is a family affair. When there were no holy books, no human culture was contaminated with religion. Each nation and culture have their own name for God and their own brand of spirituality with their own language. Persians like Jews did not bow down to images even before islam but they did not treat other people like scum who do. The Yoruba because of their culture of respect, bow down to everything respecting the resident spirit therein or therewith but they are no less monotheistic because there is no power equal to Olodumare's in their traditional spirituality. In short, spirituality like language was specific to cultures and the globe was more orderly before holy books entered the fray. When you meet a foreigner you expect new spirituality just like you expect a new language

Michael547:
Are you saying that Instructions coming directly from Ifa through you should be reviewed and updated?

Are you saying that some of Ifa's Instructions may not be correct?

By what standards should we who do not hear from Ifa review Ifa's Instructions through you?

anybody can become a Babalawo within a few years and laymen dont peer review works in any field of the academia. However in the academia once your public position is that your work can not be peer reviewed, that work is more or less automatically discredited.

Michael547:
Ok....Did Jesus teach people to hate and kill others?

he himself acted violently in the bible when he beat people out of the synagogue. He preached something like pacifism of love your enemies which he himself did not follow since he never forgave a repentant Judas iscariot. He condemned him to perdition. However the question is not what jesus preached but what christianity brought to humanity. Crusades, inquisitions, divisions among peoples and what have you. That is the issue

Michael547:
Do you mean that Jesus taught people to kill and hate other people?

JESUS WAS A FUNDAMENTALIST JEW WHO ASSOCIATED HIMSELF ONLY WITH JEWS AND NOT WITH GENTILES. HE WAS NOT A CHRISTIAN. PAUL WAS THE FIRST CHRISTIAN WHO STARTED CONVERTING GENTILES. Jesus was a poor homeless jewish nationalist who lived during the first century. He was blown out of proportion by christianity

Michael547:
Do you mean that Ifa has not revealed the absolute truth to you since you communicate directly with Ifa through divination?

i am a scientist. I dont believe in absolute truths. Everything can be reviewed or updated.

MaxInDHouse:
Please can you explain what you meant by the two highlighted?
First you said any written work that is NOT a holy book and now you're saying Holy books are demonic. What exactly are you trying to say?



So your own personal Eledumare book should replace the Bible and Quran, right?

holy books are demonic because how else do you explain a book containing all sorts of self contradictory nonesense that has been used to justify the senseless killings of millions being touted as the word of God?. Christianity and islam are just new excuses or more reasons for human beings to hate and kill themselves. Is there any thing of value they added to human civilization?

MaxInDHouse:
So it's just your own book and nothing more.

Thanks!

But why do you need teleguidance?. Learn as an adult to be critical of every conclusion. That is how to live to the full as a human being. Why are you short changing yourself sir? Buddha specifically told his followers not to not take any of his submissions as absolute truth

Michael547:
So your book has nothing to do Ifa, It is targeted at other religious book?

My book is about ifa and i used ifa to answer several questions about human existence but i am not claiming my positions are absolute truths. My book is not a holy book but an academic submission.

MaxInDHouse:

I will not put caveats of damnation of unbelievers in my books. It will not be a holy book. It is a consciousness descent for anybody to adopt a holy book.

MaxInDHouse:
What and what are the expected results of this PEER REVIEW?

A UNANIMOUS DISCREDIT OF THE BIBLE AND THE QURAN.

MaxInDHouse:
So how do we ascertain the holy book that is authentic so that we can all uphold it and submit to what is written in it?

you dont get the point. HOLY BOOKS ARE DEMONIC. That is the point.

Michael547:
Alright.....why do you need to write a book?
Did the spirit ask you to do that?

The world has been turned upside down with 'holy books' and they are said to be unquestionable. They have gotten people hypnotized with threats of damnation and etc for people that attempt to peer review those books. It is high time we rise against religion by approaching spirituality academically and that is what i am doing with my upcoming book.

Michael547:
You mean Ifa has been communicating with only you?
If no, why do you need to write a book?

Ifa is a spirit language. It does not communicate with only me. Any qualified babalawo can communicate with the spirit world via ifa.

MaxInDHouse:
So how do we ascertain the holy book that is authentic so that we can all uphold it and submit to what is written in it?

All holy books are dangerous books that turn human beings into what God never intended. Dont take anyone's word for it that any written work is above peer review. There is nothing written by a human being or a group of human beings that is above peer review.

MaxInDHouse:
What does the highlighted means?

Any written work that is not a holy book can be peer reviewed and discredited or upheld as is the case with any academic submission since the writers are just human beings.

MaxInDHouse:
With the highlighted you mean each person is free to write whatever they feel about your Olodumare, right?

Yes, people are free to write as they are free to speak. It is when they say they must not be peer reviewed that we can have problems.
