Only Gowon was in Lagos and he was preparing to flee when news got to him that the Biafrans had reached Ore. He was about to hop on an helicopter and flee to Kaduna before Alani Akinrinade rallied Yoruba men to go and confront the Liberation army at Ore

I will say it once again and maybe it will begin to sink in. The Portuguese, British and returned slaves built Lagos. Yorubas never came together and decided to build a city called Lagos. Even the name Lagos is a Portuguese name. Until very recently most places and streets in Lagos Island (which eventually led to the development of the whole of Lagos State) were name after Portuguese English or Edo names. The place that yorubas came together to develop was Ibadan.

I am sure if I ask where your ancestral home is, I am sure it will be either Ijebu or Egbaland of Ogun State. Most people that shout "Lagos Belongs to all Yorubas" are recent immigrants to Lagos.
Lagos or Eko will have an odu ifa that founded it at inauguration and those people present when the Odu was received if only ten are the founders of Lagos. All cities want people added to them and all cities including Tokyo the largest metropolis, London, New York started as small settlements but they all have a dominant culture despite how cosmopolitan they may have now become

You sad wasterners are the ones that are so much involved in social media scamming. And for your info, Lagos was not developed by yoruba leaders that is the fact.

Yorubas did not develop their region themselves that is another fact.
If anybody is in doubt of what am saying, let the person show me any sad waste state that is as developed as lagos, which happened to be nigerian capital territory for many decades before abuja took over.

We all know how Abuja was before babangida decided to make it a capital territory. I hope that the gwari tribe who happens to be the owners of abuja will not come out tomorrow (like the yorubas are doing) and start telling us how they developed abuja by themselves.

Igboland has never been a baren land and can never be. And this is one of the reasons why the nigerian state dont want Igbos to have their biafra.

This lie and propaganda from sad waste that Igbo has no oil in commercial quantity, is one lie that has been over flogged. I dont know why you lots chose to always tell lies through half baked stats. Igboland dont have oil, Igboland is baren yet the nigerian state has refused to let them go. They even fought a war in 1967-1970 to stop the Igbos from seceding.

I don't know why sad waste is a land of liars and mischief makers.

Tufiakwa!
Leaders develop their land and it starts from town planning, prayers and etc. Can you go to Germany and tell them it was not developed by Germans?. It would be an insult. Which Igbo or Hausa as ever held any important position on Yoruba soil to lead initiative for development? Don't you agree that without Nigeria no Yoruba city would be behind Abidjan or Nairobi? That we are behind them in organisation and development is because of Nigeria. Don't you agree?

I don't want to use bad words but what are you really complaining about, ok fine federal contribution but during those times Nigerian economy is mainly based on wealth we got from exporting cocoa and also palm oil, all from the western region of Nigeria, you have to understand that the western region is from kwara to Benin ( Bendel state) down to Itshekiri ( delta state) is the real southwest so most of the nations resources was coming from the western part of the country before we discovered oil. ...that's just what I'm saying bro
Everybody had what they were doing with millions of people working on their lands and their governments had revenue too. Yoruba were not sponsoring Nigeria nor was Kwara part of the western region though it later became part of West Central as created by Gowon and Awolowo led government.

You should brush up on your Nigerian history. Even though Awolowo said that the West would secede if the East did, the same Awolowo gladly took 2ic position in Gowons regime despite him seeing all the killings of Igbos going on in Nigeria

This was a man who had no intention of seceding.l, he was just another politician looking for political position.

When the war broke out, the Nigerian Army headed for Enugu, the Biafran Army headed for Lagos

There's no way the Biafran Army could get to Lagos without going through the Midwest

But what did Ojukwu do when he invaded the Midwest? He declared it Republic of Midwest and the intention was to declare the West as Oduduwa Republic with Banjo as President

Ojukwu wanted everyone to be free of Northern domination.

Unfortunately, some people were far more interested in being eternal slaves of the Hausa/Fulani oligarchy, such as Awolowo

Such is life
Maybe they did not have philosophers, psychologists and behavior analysts in the Biafran officer corps, even Colonel Banjo should have advised them against such an adventure and given that they were attacked by civilians in Warri, Benin and etc they should have known what to expect in Ore, Ife Ilesa Akure Ibadan before reaching Lagos, it was a badly thought out expedition. No Northern soldiers anymore in Yoruba land by then and Awolowo took Ministerial post with the hope that the fracas would be settled, he bundled the Northern soldiers out of the west with only his mouth and told them the west would secede if the fracas is not settled only for the Biafrans to invade the western region! If you were Awolowo what would you have done?. Put yourself in his shoes. Awolowo had no issues with Gowon who released him from prison and offered him a role in government

PoliticsBiafra And Nigeria by lawani(op): 6:57am On Jul 22, 2023
Biafra and Nigeria

It must be restated that Nigeria would have separated in 1967 if Biafra had not invaded the Midwest and the west with their Liberation army led by Colonel Victor Banjo a Yoruba. Nigeria would have separated because Obafemi Awolowo had already made it clear that if the East secedes then the West will also secede and there were already no Northern soldiers in Western Nigeria anymore when the Biafran army reached Ore in present day Ondo state and they reached Ore after being attacked by civilians of the Midwest with some soldiers killed by civillians and that was how the west and the Midwest were drawn into the war and before that Biafra was only facing attack from the Northern direction and given their control of the coast of Eastern Nigeria they would have won the war. No country has ever embraced invaders with open arms but people like Nnamdi Kanu and co blame the Yoruba for joining the federal forces after the Biafrans invaded their land. They further blame Obafemi Awolowo for advising the FG to not continue allowing trade in foodstuffs flow to the East from Nigeria until Biafra surrenders and that was why the war was brief though Biafra would have ultimately lost given the enemies they made for themselves and the number of warfronts they engineered for themselves. The animosity remains and it will remain a setback for the country but since ownership of land is not in contention as is the case in Palestine and there are no borders against migration in the ECOWAS sphere, the right thing to do in favor of peace prosperity and development for all is to break up the country. Afterall the groups involved in the tug of war are one of the largest of Earth's ethnic groups, bigger than most nations of the world.
PoliticsRe: Effects Of A United Nations Take Over Of All Sovereign Debts Across The World by lawani(op): 4:42am On Jul 22, 2023
budaatum:
Lawani, please know that while my opinion might differ to yours on this topic, you've created a thread that is making my mind work, and that I appreciate.

I've been thinking about debt, in general, and America's specifically, since it's the most indebted nation, but first let's cancel UN and replace it with the World Bank, or IMF, though since lending is their business they might need cancelling too.

America has "Fractional reserve banking, a system in which only a fraction of bank deposits are required to be available for withdrawal. Banks only need to keep a specific amount of cash on hand and can create loans from the money you deposit".

If banks get all their loans paid they'd have lots of money to supply for lending, so interest rates will drop and terms longer to increase demand. As demand for money grows and chases asset, prices will inflate, and more will be poorer.

It's rather a lot more complex than that, and there's various ways and numerous things to consider, but let me address your key points so you know I read your's.


Where would any organisation find slightly below $300 trillion to pay off the Sovereign debt as of 2022?

Well, probably from Saudi Arabia and co, who are so swimming in crude oil that money money everywhere but nothing to spend it on applies. And from America that has dollar printers, and China, and Europe, since they can't just stand by while some own the world, plus Britain since lawyers would be required, and Japan, and Ru..... Let's just say the G7, or G15 max will lend UN money to pay off the debt, and you must have heard they who pay the piper call the tune, or interest, as the case might be here.


Actually, those countries will immediately return to the debt market to borrow even a lot more is what I think, because you still got to buy somethings from somewhere since you don't make your own, and you can't pay cash unless you are getting it from the people whose tax doesn't currently cover expenditure.

It's in the cost of living, you see. Most countries do not currently cover their expenditure with tax, and while it's likely removing debt servicing might just about allow it to, it wouldn't stretch as far as leaving much for capital investment, so countries would need to borrow again or tax it's people more, and either or both will increase the cost of living a la inflation.

Capital investment is the key, as it not only covers new investments, which could be cancelled to save expenditure, but also the cost of maintaining old investments.



This just doesn't make sense.

The cost of building a house in "Ilésà, Londoner, New Yorker, Berliner or someone in Tokyo" differs wildly. The expertise required to build in those diverse places differ wildly, the building regulations differ wildly, the training and competence and ability of builders in those diverse places differ wildly, the value of the land differs wildly, so why would anyone settle for wages in Ilésà if they don't live in Ilésà when most wouldn't even settle in Lagos for Ilesa wages?


This is the bit I love most about your imagination and which I hope you continue to value, for this is the stuff that makes blockbusters. You write your thought well.

The "defense budgets of the USA, Russia and China" are not to "keep the peace for all", but are actually the main drivers of conflict and debt, since from forever has it been that countries must borrow to buy bullets to fight wars.

Read the following to see other perspectives and where you are agreed with and how greed and competition fuels debt.
https://www.politico.eu/article/european-union-ukraine-war-debt-crisis-aid-loans-18-billion/
Yes I mean that all sovereign debt including the 33 trillion owed by the US be taken over by the UN and UN granted income in form of payups by member states then all crude oil revenue. Those debts will be restructured because major economies will shrink when cost of living goes down. US debt may stand at less than 5 trillion dollars which will still have the same purchasing power as the old 33 trillion dollars in the USA. I hope you understand. Then many houses in Ilesa here cost more in materials than their counterparts in New York, Berlin or London but the value is like one hundredth of the house in New York, Berlin or London. Rent in western Europe and North America are sometimes more than one hundred times of what it should be given the cost of construction materials. This is what I am saying should be corrected as it is causing an unnecessary distortion in world economy that affects everybody on Earth in different ways. It can be corrected. A two bedroom flat anywhere in the world should not be rented out at more than 400 dollars per annum. It can be cheaper if it is an apartment building that is a highrise.
Then If everybody is contributing to sustain the UN then the UN should subsidize the nations whose defense budget is keeping the peace. That is the point. No peace is free. It always costs money.

Also no reason for any government to have budget deficits. A government like other individuals should have surplus and invest it and the US could have done it. There is no need for any government to be spending more than it's revenue because if individual citizens were doing that everything would collapse. Such should not be the norm.

What claims are you talking about. Let me make this clear I don't believe in religion I believe in Jesus Christ. Christianity came about because people follow the character of Jesus which was perfect a Christian without Jesus is just a Christian by name. I agree they're manipulators in Christianity but even you see some different ones. Those ones are the followers of Jesus. You can not deny it true Christianity makes this world better.
Saying these things in public is wrong.
1. Jesus is God which others can't become. No he is just a mere man born out of wedlock.

2. God or Jesus can forgive you your sins. No only the offended can forgive and an offender needs to meet the offended to secure forgiveness

3. Your sins will always be forgiven. No there is no free pass. Expect consequences for all your actions. No evil doer will go unpunished.

4. Jesus died for you. No he was duly tried and convicted of heresy in a properly constituted court. Those who died for you are your ancestors and past people who died defending your nation.

5. Salvation is free or by grace. No nothing is free you have to deserve it and work for it or towards it.

6. Those who don't believe all the claims above will be cast into the lake of fire. No that is a very evil way to describe God. You are infact slandering God and if you are allowed to continue your whole community will pay.

Now you are free to believe anything just like you are free to eat anything but it would be wrong to allow you spread in public this very dangerous ideology that you clearly believe is absolute true. People who sell food should be licensed to do that. There is freedom to practice religion but it should not extend to freedom to spread this kind of ideology in the public space. That is the issue but you are of course free to believe and practice in private but let other people breathe

I'm not interested in whatever you say a human have done in the past because we are all born sinners but the highlighted caught my attention!

Moses as a youth was a thug he killed a man and singlehandedly buried the dead man but by the time God was sending him as a prophet to Egypt Moses has changed completely in fact God said:
"At that time Moses was the most gentle man on the surface of the earth" Numbers 12:3

So please never say:
"people don't change" otherwise you have to kill your own child who did something really bad if you have no hope that the child could have a change of heart!
Mentality once set can never change. You as a person can never change and anybody that has put you on surveillance can predict you as if you were a robot.

Not with unbelief of outlandish claims. If you believe foolish things about God then you are practicing a kind of atheism. At least hold God to the same standards to which you hold your Dad. However lack of deep thinking is the problem of most religionists and they therefore become victims of manipulators but some of the leaders are not manipulators though.
PoliticsEffects Of A United Nations Take Over Of All Sovereign Debts Across The World by lawani(op): 2:53pm On Jul 21, 2023
Effects of a United Nations take over of all sovereign debts across the world.

In the US, Japan, Western Europe and all high income nations that are steeped in debt, the effect will be that those nations will be able to lower their cost of living since they will no longer need high taxes from high wages in order to pay interests on sky rocketing sovereign debts. They can do this by fixing the value of real estate at construction costs only using countries like Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana etc as templates. A lower cost of living will lead to a much higher productivity in those economies. Imagine a Londoner, New Yorker, Berliner or someone in Tokyo having the same cost of living as a worker in Ilesa, Nigeria. That is the vision. It will propel an increase in the productivity and competitiveness of all those economies returning them to how they used to be decades ago. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figure will come down drastically while productivity itself rises acutely.

In the other parts of the world like Nigeria, India and other less technologically developed or advanced nations, the immediate effect will be that imported tech goods will become cheaper by maybe over fifty percent if not more than that. Automobiles, smart phones, batteries for electric vehicles, payment for satellite services by telephone companies and others, power generators, laptop computers and etc will become greatly cheaper. Maybe up to ten percent of the consumption of a typical nation is imported.

Farmers across the world will also have their purchasing power more equalized with that of wage earners in the cities especially in western cities. A farmer or farm hand in Ere Ijesa will be more equal to a bank worker in Lagos or New York city for instance because cost of living will be equalized. How it used to be in Yoruba land was that produce farmers would be able to sponsor their children to US or European universities comfortably out of their income. It will return to being like that as a result of the new equality that can result from my proposal.

The United Nations will be able to own and pay all the debts after those debts have been restructured to reflect the new purchasing power or value of the dollar which may go down by up to ninety percent. The United Nations can also have income in form of a percentage of national revenue of member states say five or ten percent, then from all the resources in the high seas as well as fossil fuel on the land everywhere before fossil fuel becomes irrelevant within a few years. Pay ups by member states to the United Nations can be reviewed upwards when income from fossil fuel dries up. A major expense that the UN should defray will be the defense budgets of the USA, Russia and China since those expenses are to keep the peace for all.

The price of oil will crash immediately if the global restructuring suggested is effected but all crude oil income should still go to the United Nations.

He doesn't care that he'll may not exists he is doing it anyway even to strangers I see that as love. You may see it as a threat because your conscience will tell you you are guilty.
What Christians say is that God will burn you in hell for unbelief. Not crimes but unbelief. We are talking of holy unbelievers here. You can't be threatening law abiding people with hell fire. God is not an immoral bastard. Do you get it?. Even if you nuke the whole world for doing nothing wrong, hell fire or infinite punishment will still be gross but Christians threaten holy people.

That's true.

That's what I'm trying to let people know. If our only source of wealth for over 200million people is oil, then we are a poor Nation..

Quatar has just about the same amount of oil as Nigeria, but their tiny population makes the oil sufficient enough for them. That's why they are a wealthy nation.

Now USA and China are bad example of countries with large population and are wealthy because when drawing comparison with Nigeria. That's because side oil these 2 countries produce almost 50% of what the entire world consumes.
Most traded goods are oil, automobiles I think smart phones should follow. Japan and Germany lead automobiles while US, South Korea are leaders in mobile phone. All sorts of things are traded up to cocoa coffee cashew etc but things from nations with high cost of living maybe up to 1000 percent of how much it should be because of cost of production. If that is corrected then farmers from Russia, Ethiopia, Nigeria Ghana etc who produce for the world market will have a better deal as their purchasing power will rise. It will rise because prices of goods produced by city workers especially in the west will drop.
Then the internal economy is always the largest comprising of trading, services, agriculture, manufacturing, offshore jobs and etc. I don't think up to ten percent of consumption is imported in any country. Nobody produces 50 percent of what the world consumes

He refused to restitute with me and Steve Jobs died and left a fortune for me in his will in 2011, he objected and the power to approve the execution of the will was handed over to him by the US government. Up till now he is afraid of releasing the will because it will mean the end of his career of serial murdering and mass manipulation. He killed Bola Ige and Sanni Abacha as well as John Audu who was my friend during NYSC whom he personally axed to death. Before social media he had assured my parents he would make me fall in line as a born again by force and that was in 2000 when I was an undergraduate. He also harvested my fishpond to bankrupt me when I was in Ile Ife etc etc and used my family members to severally lock me up in the psychiatry, starting from 2012 when I publicly accused him, the hierarchy of the church has been aware of my plight since 2012, eleven years ago and that he is using the church's resources to trample on my fundamental human rights. This is a formal notification that as soon as I meet Barbara Bush who was married to me by her family in 2000 and properly free my hands, then I am going to take Enoch Adeboye and his church to court to claim all their real estate across the world as compensation for the twenty three years long assault. Then I will be okay. This is a formal public notification. Enoch has murdered a total of seven people, raped all his donkeys, raped his kids and raped a former male employee of mine amongst others.

CultureDuring An Ifa Query Añd What It Takes To Be Awo Orunmila by lawani(op): 3:50am On Jul 21, 2023
During an Ifa enquiry and what it takes to be Awo Orunmila

The first cast is the Olori odu which is the chief Odu that answers your query.

The second cast is Kotojale which means what will happen before it ends. What will happen at the middle

The third cast is Mojale which means what will happen at the final end.

If kotojale seniors Mojale then Kotojale comes with ire. If otherwise it comes with ibi. The ibi or ire will accompany the kotojale. If kotojale is Eji ogbe (ire). It means there will be an alignment which will bring blessings.

You can then check for different ires for that reading by making two casts. If first is senior then you have that ire, if not, then you don't have it. Different ires to check for can include money, wife, children, promotion and etc depending on what is relevant to your query.

What to note is that for every query of any nature, there are 256 possible responses and a good Babalawo must be able to interprete any sign as a response to any query. Therefore the scenarios are limitless. The spectrum of possible meanings to different categories of queries is very broad indeed. However the standard is that a qualified Awo should know offhand at least four original stories per odu to start with and know the ebos for them and also many other technicalities that can only be learnt from a practicing Babalawo. That is 1024 stories minimum to qualify to start practicing and if it is 1000 words per story, it will be over one million words which is like one and a half times the volume of the Christian Bible and that is for a first degree practitioner. You then continue learning to Masters, PhD and Professor (Araba) level till your death. No end to learning Ifa.

This is what is always happening in the world. We are not in charge. God is in charge. All we can authour is our next action. God is the author of the play. IFA reading for the year ending June next year is Ogunda Ose for the world at Oke Igeti. Conquest will lead to creation/new beginning. At oke Itase it was Irosun Osa conflict will lead to blessings for the world. All these will happen to the world this year. I can use Ifa to read your mind, check what happened in the past, receive a message telepathically, ask any question. Life is much more than the physical. If you do anything in secret, I assure you Karma will catch up with you. Who do you think is in charge of all that if not unseen beings headed by God?. However religion is totally wrong and all I have been describing is scientific theism. GOD EXISTS and He is in charge but it is alright if you want to be an atheist. An atheist however can't be a Babalawo because you have to pray before using the oracle. Be an atheist but don't go killing people for believing in God

No man is born with culture and therefore,no man is also born with a knowledge or believe in a God..

Atheism is the ABSENCE OF A BELIEVE IN A SUPERNATURAL BEING..

If you presupposes that to believe in a God you need a culture,then my assertion stands..

ALL MEN ARE BORN ATHEIST.
It is culture that makes you a human being.

The proof of God is that you can use a tool to predict the future. We are in a matrix and the end is predetermined by God. Only God knows the end from the beginning.

U are wrong. Ur Peter Obi that u suddenly turned to Saint Obi, d Sum of 290m cash was found on him as far back as 2009. When Tinubu ruled Lagos, Lagos allocation was withheld by obj but d man managed to rule Lagos State. D problem of u people is that u don’t like to see a better person. I know if Tinubu is an Igbo man, I know d narrative would have changed to we are d one controlling d politics of Lagos. My point is u people should know how to celebrate an achiever so that u too can be celebrated. No African politician has 100% record of holiness
I don't agree about African politicians. There are politicians in this country with clean records that you can't point to a single error not even corruption that they committed. No moral bankruptcy. Tafa Balewa, Awolowo, Akintola, Aminu Kano, Shagari, Ekwueme to mention only a few well known names. Don't spoil Africans as if they are a morally deficient species of human beings. That would be wrong.

Igbos earn all their livings outside igbo states.. they earn livings in Lagos, Kono, Kaduna etc. How can others be their problem?
There are over 30 million people living in the SE alone apart from other Igbo lands out of 200 million Nigerians and as Igbos have income in other places, Hausas and Yorubas are also the same in their millions because they monopolize the industries they specialize in and have to spread across the country to access the market. Igbos are not alone in making money everywhere. They are just majority in some trades.
