BusinessFree Market Communism. by lawani(op): 2:12pm On Aug 31, 2017
Sir Richard Branson is the latest top notch CEO to speak in support of a universal basic income for all. Mark Zuckenberg and Elon Musk had earlier made thesame call while Bill Gates also called for socialism as a panacea to global ills. Where we are heading to is an economic system that may be called FREE MARKET COMMUNISM since it is a no one left behind system.

Bro, this your proposal of government buying produce will fail because corruption will kill it. Eg a civil servant pay you 5 million for product worth 2 million they your share the 3 million on it backend. It will only work in an environment where stealing, lieing is corruption. Same thing happened in Thailand.. Rice corruption
In Western Nigeria, Govt Used to buy produce off farmers who deposit the produce with merchants, the govt fight for the best price in the intl market and then use a formula to determine how much the farmer gets and they announce price over the radio.

The crusade was a religious campaign in Holy Lands in the Middle East and not an example of any relationship or association of Europeans and Turks. In fact, Turks have never been on the same side with Europe on any issue. This further show that they are culturally, religiously, socially, ideologically, and racially distinct group of people.
They Are part and parcel of Europe's History, Part Of all european wars. the only diff is religion

All that rants because you're a Muslim like they are? My religious inclination doesn't cloud my judgement. Turkey might tick the box for geography, but it is far from being European as day is to night.
I Am not a muslim. No European History Without Turks, Think Of The Crusades.

So what are Turkish people then? They are Caucasians just like the rest of Europe but Islam makes them look different from other Europeans. Even despite their religion they are still westernised like the rest of Europe. And finally, Turkey is in Europe but due to their association with Islamic doctrine and other issues, they are excluded from European Union.
You Are Right. What Divides Them Is Islam. Kudos.
BusinessRe: Why Dangote’s Failed Paste Factory Should Give Buhari More Headache Than Dangote by lawani(m):
The Plant will work in due course of time. the problem, i blv, is competition with small holders who supply the markets in the South And North. If It were to be a pko refinery that buys pkn, no such problem as the coy takes in both pkn and crude pko from millers in a monopoly. Solution I believe is for dangote to viciously bite into the market by bulldozing the way in by introducing bulk buyers who can buy on the spot and from the small holders. a small holder with 50 thousand naira capital will be able to make 2000 naira a day by selling to bulk buyers on the spot without travelling anywhere. That Is how pkn vegetable oil refineries operate. When There is a short fall in supply they jack up the price and the produce will stream in. very interesting.

Christianity EtcThe Aborisha and other traditional theologies by lawani(op):
Aborisha is to Yoruba What Wiccan is to Europe, Hindu is to India, Judaism is to Jews, Dibia is to Igbos, Maiguzuwa is to Hausas etc. It is like saying thesame things in different languages. We are all brethren under one God. We Support each other and worship freely with each other. For instance Japanese Shintos are co-sponsors of the Ifa Heritage Institute in Oyo Nigeria. I as an Aborisa also look forward to morally and financially supporting other traditional theologies wherever they may be found on Earth but not Christianity or Islam.

Jokes EtcMansa Musa's Gold In The 21st Century by lawani(op):
Mansa Musa was King Of Mali called Imale by the Yoruba in the 15th century. He had gold stock valued at over USD 400 billion in 21st century money. However, it was table salt gold not 21st century gold because salt exchanged for its weight in gold at a point in Malian Markets. The best way to estimate wealth is the size of someone's household and the HDI.

CultureRe: The Root Of The Name "bini' - Taught By Exotic by lawani(m): 2:44pm On Aug 24, 2017
lakal:
The native name for the people and the city of Benin was "Edo." 

"Ubinu" is not an Edo usage; that name came from the Itsekiris, whose lands bordered the Benin Kingdom's, and who were heavily influenced by the Benin Kingdom.  The Portuguese learned the name "Ubinu" from the coast dwellers and applied it to the city they were in contact with.

The "Ile Ibinu" comes from the Yoruba account of Oranmiyan.
Just like we have ife ijumu, ife in igala, amadzofe, mawufe etc In Ghana, Benin's name given by Oranmiyan Was Ife Ubinu Meaning Ife Of Anger, Oranyan Left The Place In Anger. The Name Stuck, The Pre Oranyan Name Is Igndomigndo
CultureRe: The Defunct Benin Empire And Its Igbo Peoples. by lawani(op):
RedboneSmith:
In essence you are saying Ikwerre and Ogba were buying yams and palm oil from Igbos, and that was how they became 'Igbonised'? When Ikwerre people have more fertile lands and produce more yams than their immediate Igbo neighbours in Imo State.

Why have you refused to stick to what you know for sure?
I Am Not Ikwerre Or Ogba but i know those people claim Benin And hence Yoruba origin just like the Olukunmi In Delta state. Go back a few centuries and you will find Ogba, Ikwerre and even Onitsha Speaking Yoruba as do the Olukunmi Today.

There is maybe 200,000 people in Osun state who are produce farmers earning well over a million naira per annum from farm produce being sent all over the world. There are big agro allied companies too of which Tuns farm Osogbo is the biggest. Use google to get more info.
PoliticsRe: Osun State GDP Higher than Imo, Abia, Anambra, Enugu & Ebonyi by lawani(m): 3:55pm On Aug 18, 2017
The Agro-allied sector in Osun has no answer to it in Anambra. That sector produces billions of dollars of farm produce per annum. Per capita income in Osun will be higher than in Anambra. Osun is richer because of the agro allied sector

Killing people will not solve the problem of corruption. We have to sit up and reorganise the whole place so that government revenue will be dependent on taxation by at least 90 percent. Do it the way of successful nations and you will reap thesame results

igbodefender:
@lawani
The people of Olukwumi are Igbo. No doubt about it. They are Igbo. In fact they are the aboriginal Igbos that Moremi married into. If Olugbo claims he married Moremi, then Ugbo also might be one of the Olukwumi, just as Ugbodu, Onicha Ugbo, etc. are.
.

They all speak Igbo as second language after their Yoruba dialect. That puts them under the Igbo umbrella but they are Yorubas. I have explained using the people of Alsace Lorraine in France. Those people are Germans by ethnicity but under France. They are French citizens. ok?

CultureRe: Lets Talk About Osu In Igboland? by lawani(m): 6:35am On Feb 22, 2017
WHAT CAUSED THE OSU CASTE SYSTEM? APPARENTLY IT WAS A LACK OF NATIONAL CHALLENGES. SIMILAR TO INDIA THAT DID NOT INVADE ANY COUNTRY NOR WAS THREATENED FOR 10000 YEARS!.

YOU FIND OSU ONLY IN NRI CULTURE AND THAT IS A CULTURE OF NON AGGRESSION. NO OSU IN AROCHUKWU WHICH WAS LIKE A YORUBA STATE. NO OSU IN THE OLD BENIN POSTS TOO.
VISUALISE AN IGBO VILLAGE OF AROUND 1500 PEOPLE. THEY SEE THEMSELVES AS FAMILY AND ANY STRANGER ENTERING THAT COMMUNITY WILL BE OSTRACISED. THAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THE OSU CASTE SYSTEM BUT IF IT WERE TO BE A NATION STATE CONSTANTLY FACING THREATS OF INVASION, OSUS MAY BE THEIR SAVIOR A FEW TIMES AND THERE WILL BE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND PEACE TREATY MARRIAGES AS WELL. THE SOCIETY WOULD BE ORGANISED DIFFERENTLY. NO CASTES. IN EUROPE, NO CASTE BECAUSE OF FREQUENT WARS BUT THERE WERE TWO BROAD CASTE ARISTOCRACY AND COMMONER. IT WAS CASTE LIKE BUT NOT RELIGIOUS. IN INDIA AND IGBO LAND, IT IS RELIGIOUS.

A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF OSUS MUST BE YORUBAS BECAUSE A LOT OF YORUBAS DISAPPEARED INTO IGBO LAND IN THE PAST DURING THE YORUBA CIVIL WARS AND WERE BOUGHT AS FARMHANDS. SO A GOOD PORTION OF OSUS MUST BE YORUBAS, THEN MAYBE IGALAS SOLD AS PUNISHMENT OVER CENTURIES. BUT THE MAJORITY WILL BE YORUBA DESCENT.

IGBOS ENTERING YORUBA LAND BY MISTAKE IN THE PAST OR AS A BOUGHT SLAVE EVENTUALLY NATURALISES, LEARN THE LANGUAGE AND DESCENDANTS ARE BLENDED IN BUT YORUBAS ENTERING IGBO LAND WILL END UP AS OSUS SURELY. THE VILLAGE CANT INTEGRATE THEM FULLY BECAUSE NO REASON TO!.

LET OSUS RELOCATE FROM IGBO LAND TO OTHER PLACES, CHANGE THEIR ID AND BLEND INTO THOSE PLACES AFTERALL THEIR ANCESTORS WERE PROBABLY NOT IGBOS.

Igbos changed Ikwerre and Ogba to Igbo? Wow. How did they manage that. Didn't you tell us Igbo people were isolated villagers who did not travel out of their villages and lived in isolation like the Koma people until the British discovered them?

How did they manage to Igbonise Ikwerre and Ogba? huh
IT IS AN ACADEMIC ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, IGBOS WERE ISOLATED, KNOWN ONLY TO THEIR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS UNTIL THE LATE 19TH CENTURY. THEY DID NOT LIKE LEAVING THEIR VILLAGES AT ALL IN THE PAST. THEY DEALT ONLY WITH THEIR IMMEDIATE HEIGHBORS AND NO ONE ELSE AND THOSE ONES HAD TO LEARN THEIR LANGUAGE TO BUY PALM OIL, YAMS AND ETC FROM THEM WHICH THEY PRODUCED IN EXCESS.
