CURRENCY MANAGEMENT 101- 3

Instead of government to sit up and take tax across all sectors, they face oil money, when that one shrinks because of falling oil prices, they use their central bank to cause inflation which causes currency devaluation and the currency becomes shit, a totally unreliable store of value like the Nigerian naira.


Who wants to convert their life savings or a loan to a shit currency that is not a reliable store of value? A currency that can be 157 to the dollar last year and 430 today? No foreign investor would do that because they are seasoned business men not fools. As the saying goes a fool and his money is one big party but a serious person is more careful, especially portfolio investors who bring capital just to trade stock or to fix in banks. They will stay off! Wouldnt you?

Then let us talk about those already stuck in the economy by having invested in equipments, real estate and etc. Once the Naira dips, they pay more for imported raw materials and sometimes it wipes them out of business. An example is Multitrex in Warewa Ogun state, a cocoa processing firm. They are now shut down. Many more companies are shut down because they can not stay afloat. So everything sinks if the government budget is not dependent on the health of the economy but rather on oil money. There are people who have children studying abroad on whom they spend 20 thousand dollars a year which was like 3 million naira, now they have to cough out over 8 million naira a year while business is down and so on and so forth.


So, the only way a currency, any currency, can be a reliable store of value is if the government of the nation is dependent only on income tax. In that way, they will still cause inflation but it will be at global average like in Europe, Japan or North America.

May God assist us.

-HOW MUCH DOES BARBARA LOVE ME?

Great families know there are no coincidences, that we live in a matrix, we can know the future and etc. Take for instance my late paternal grandfather, first Action Group Organising Secretary who kept party minutes of meetings and disbursed funds to be spent, nothing was done behind his back. He was also a very spiritual man, throughout his life, he was always telling my Dad 'your path is in clerical work, please go and meet my friend, Bishop Falope to become an Anglican priest but my Dad ignored him. My Dad later became a full time Pastor several years after my grandfather's death. Obviously my grandfather got the information from Diviners or during esentaiye of my Dad. During esentaiye ceremony of a new born, the extended family would gather before the Awo on duty who will make divinations for the child, determine the birth odu, whether the child is an incarnation from the mother or father line, the different ibis and ires then eewos and etc. It must have been during such a ceremony that my late granddad got the information he held on to which did not materialize in his lifetime. So, you get how it flows for great people. Great people believe we live in a matrix and that we should live carefully.


In exactly thesame way, the Bush family are a spiritual famly. They are number one in the USA today. So they have their own way of doing esentaiye for newborns. So, when Barbara was born, she came with a sign that her future marriage partner is a non white, from Africa. There is email evidence for this information with one of the two President Bush.


Barbara was told and she readied herself, always on the lookout for the person. The whole family were on the lookut because when you know your best destiny, you work towards it, to make it a reality. Atheists can not comprehend this. Nobody in sight till she was 18 years, then I was discovered in Nigeria in 2000 when my parents reported me to Adeboye whom the CIA know as a vile criminal, rapist, human ritualist and cannibal. They knew I would certainly be killed, so when President Bush became President, he put Barbara on the spot with me as my future wife in fulfilment of the prophecy.


From then Barbara has been inside me. She has been there for 15 years. On yahoo messenger as far back as 2001, on facebook, in emails, she has been totally into me, drinking me, eating me. She follows me about, reads everything I write even when I was a member of Jesus Tract Club in OAU writing for a bill board and etc. She has been constant. She knew she was born to marry me and be with me and she has been in that post for 15 years.


I come from a good family. I can name several historical figures that I am descended from. So can she. I am black, she is white. It does not matter. She has gone through a lot manipulating other women away from me, clearing my path to her.


She loves me, more than any woman has ever loved any man and she has sacrificed for me more than any woman ever did for any man, more than any wife for any husband.

She is the best. So she loves me so very much. The challenge I have is to pay her back and I will meet the challenge head on. She spent from kindergarten to 18 years waiting for a non white, an African and she spent 19 to 34 waiting for Akin Lawanson. What a great young woman!.


So just ask for God's grace to love your husband the way she loves me, it will help him a lot.

bigfrancis21:
From my understanding, the Onitsha people referred mostly to the Sierra Leonean missionaries, who were of Igbo ancestry and spoke Isuama Igbo but dressed and behaved like the whites, and Ajayi Crowther as 'oyibo ojii', 'oyibo' in the sense that they were westernized or behaved like the Europeans and 'Ojii' in the sense that they were blacks, natives or 'Igbos'. These Igbo Sierra Leoneans assisted Ajayi Crowther, who only spent a few weeks in Onitsha, in communications between him and the Onitsha people and assisted in Christian Igbo instruction to the Onitsha people.

That is more or less what I said. Only difference is that you say some missionaries of Igbo ancestry are among them. If they were, then the Igbo they speak would be different from the ones the natives understood. If they were real Igbos, they wont be called oyibo oji by the natives. Just like Yorubas dont call their returnees Oyibo, so far they still speak Yoruba but someone like Colin Powell or Eddy Murphy is Oyibo Oji to us or black white man. That is the logic.

bigfrancis21:
LOL. A foreigner trying to tell Igbos how to speak their language or interpret their language. Lol.

Oyibo ojii in that context meant 'black westerners' or 'blacks from a westernized land'. Ajayi and Taylor were both dark-skinned, thus the 'ojii'. Maybe had they been light-skinned, they would have been called just 'oyibo' only.

Who were the people called Oyibo oji among Igbos? They are non Igbo black missionaries and District officers. They spoke Victorian English and dressed in suits and hats. They were white men save the color of their skin. To me, an American is Oyibo, given the accent and mannerism. So that is it. Intellectual discourse should be for self development and once something has been established firmly you have no reason to be opposing it.

Oyibo oji means black whiteman not black foreigners. For example Mike Tyson, Tu pac and etc are Oyibo Oji to us because to us, they are no different from whitemen save that they are black. Nothing like oyibo oji meaning black foreigners or oyibo ocha meaning white foreigners. Am I Oyibo oji to you then? Does it even make sense?

YourNemesis:
Guy, do you know what nasal is? I doubt.

I beg leave the man. What will we not hear?. Igbos wey never see white man before are the ones who gave us our word for white man! Not worth debating. Igbos had no direct dealing with Europeans before Nigeria whereas Yoruba have known white people for thousands of years. Pls dont debate it with him anymore. He is not reasonable.

bigfrancis21:
In Igboland, we have different ways of referring to the white man or any person light skinned - oyibo, bekee, onye ocha, etc. depending on the region in Igboland. Upland Igbos (Anambra, Enugu, Delta Igbo) tend to use 'oyibo' and downland Igbos (Imo, Abia etc.) tend to use Bekee (from a white missionary man in Igboland whose last name was Baike). Onye Ocha is more of modern standardized Igbo way of referring to a white person or light-skinned person. My paternal grandmother born around 1920s was named Oyibo. The Sierra Leonean missionary and Bishop Ajayi crowther on their missionary visit to Igboland were referred to as 'oyibo ojii' (black foreigners), meaning that the Igbo natives knew the difference between oyibo proper and oyibo ojii.

Surprisingly, the Igalas that share linguistic affinity with Yorubas say 'Oyibo' instead of 'Oyinbo'. The binis say 'Oyibo' as well. Specifically, Igbos use Oyibo, Yorubas use Oyinbo. It is totally absurd that you are the only Yoruba person leaving 'oyinbo' used among Yorubas to claim 'Oyibo' as used by Igbos.

In academic research, oral traditions are noted but are not given much credibility as written traditions due to the very fact of subjectivity - the tendency for a story to be changed or modified as it is passed down from generation to generation due to the subjectivity of the human mind. Thus, wielding some story by some Ife chief holds no credence in this level of discourse. In other words, just because it is an oral history does not necessarily mean it is 100% valid, owing to the subjectivity factor of the human mind. Rather, furnishing academic evidence of the usage of 'oyinbo' in Yorubaland dating back to the 18th century or earlier would yield more credence to your claim in this discourse.

https://books.google.com/books?id=J0P6rmhhP6IC&pg=PA189&lpg=PA189&dq=oibo+igbo&source=bl&ots=9WXyXoiwsD&sig=yFSuTpNfik3C0w2Y8LIKHQ5miIc&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwio5sL81oDPAhXG5xoKHWGiAKcQ6AEIODAF#v=onepage&q=oibo%20igbo&f=false

But we have no other word for white man and there was no Igbo man on Yoruba land in 1895, so how did we learn it from Igbos? Would you say we learnt it from Igalas who learnt it from Igbos? We dont really deal with Igalas, they have been cut off for centuries, we dealt more with Nupe, Ebira, Bariba and Hausas than Igalas. So what do you think the Germans, English, Portuguese that traded with the Oyo in Togo, Benin republic and Ghana were called. No big deal in learning a word from Igbos, we learnt many but the word Oyibo can not be among. Cant you reason with that? Abeg jo. I wont respond again.

Igboid:
Now, this was clearly written by a mind suffering from grandiose delusions.

Yorubas are a funny bunch, they never stop to amaze me with this their claim to civilization.
The same people that couldn't evolve enough to live in Peace with each other, but were busy fighting tribal fights like savages so much that they needed and gladly welcomed the white man to colonize them, if only to bring Peace to their region.
This your post coming from same Yorubas I described above, linking Ndiigbo to Koma tribe is quite comical, and I would advise you thread carefully from here onwards, cause actions often elicit reactions and in a blink of an eye, this thread goes south and end up in tribalism section.

Abeg shut up. Are Koma people not human beings? How are you better than them? You have no sovereignty over your land, non Igbos gang up to kill you there. In many ways, Koma people are better off than you. Many mumu Igbos say irritating things. The Yoruba have no other word for white man than Oyibo and we have been using it for thousands of years. So how is it possible we learnt it from Igbos who were like the Koma people as at the 19th century? Meaning they were grounded in their villages. They were known mainly to their immediate neighbors only. So how can the only word we have for whiteman have come from Igbos?. I hate deliberate stupidity.

The Japanese civil war that led to the Meiji period was as long if not longer than the Yoruba civil war. It was a war to foster unity.

bigfrancis21:
Lol. If an Nri chief told me Oyibo is Igbo vs what your Ife chief told you, where does that leave us at?

I broke it down for you as the old man did. It is a compound word. Igbos call white people Onye ocha while Yoruba call them Oyibo. You just like unnecessary debate. Igbos in the past were like the Koma people discovered not long ago in Adamawa. They never saw a white man until relatively recently whereas Yorubas have known white people since forever hence the name Oyibo which means those depigmented by the breeze. Yoruba use many Igbo words like Una, fufu and many others but Oyibo is not one of them. A word we have been using for thousands of years!.


Yorubas have been dealing with Europeans for over 500 years, going back and forth between West Africa, Americas and Europe. We have been dealing with Arabs since forever. There were normally Arab residents in Yoruba cities. Yoruba were traders, going to North Africa and etc dressed as Arabs. They dealt with Celts, Tuaregs, Moors and etc. So they were using that word all that time that no single free Igbo was outside Igbo land.

Then we differentiate between Oyibos, Oyibo Geesi is British, Faranse is French, Potogi is Portuguese. Portuguese was spoken well by many Yoruba in the past up till the 19th century. I will say the Germans were the Agudas. Arabs are Larubawa and etc.

bigfrancis21:
This is new to me. I'm not sure where you're getting this from but I know Yorubas use 'Oyinbo' and Igbos use 'Oyibo'. There is documented evidence of the usage of 'Oyibo' amongst Igbos as of the 18th/19th century pre-Christianity times. Some missionaries had been to Igboland to spread the gospel and the natives, on sighting them, repeatedly called them 'oyibo', 'oyibo'. Olaudah Equiano, the Igbo ex-slave, in his book wrote of his Igbo people referring to light-skinned men from a distance as 'oyeboe'. Mind you, Olaudah was born around 1745 or the 18th century, at a time before the arrival of westernization or Christianity. Mind you, this was a village of Olaudah located deep in the middle of Igboland, with little influence to the outside world. Your coming now to claim 'Oyibo' as used by Igbos since time immemorial as 'Yoruba' is obviously false as it may come. Mind you, no documented evidence so far has shown the usage of 'oyinbo' by the Yorubas before or as of the same time Igbos were using 'Oyibo', which leads any researcher to conclude that Oyinbo may be a borrowed and corrupted word from the Igbo 'Oyibo'. Mind you also that most of the tribes in the south (Binis, Igalas, Idomas etc.) also use the same word, 'oyibo' as Igbos except the Yorubas that say 'oyinbo' instead, indicating an adoption somewhere and the nasalization of the word to 'oyinbo', Yoruba being a nasal language. For example, Ebonyi would be Eboyin in Yoruba, Egwugwu masquerade is Egungun in Yoruba, Ogwu (charm) in Igbo is Ogun in Yoruba, Onye in Igbo is to Eyin in Yoruba, and so forth.

Please try to do some research as to the use of 'oyibo' or 'oyinbo' in Yorubaland and come up with tangible sources. Trying to ascribe yoruba meanings to a word is not conclusive evidence of ownership of a word. Thousands of Yoruba words have meanings in Igbo (Abeokuta or Ebe okwute in Igbo meaning a place of rock/stones, Ibeji in Yoruba which could mean place of yams or yam barn in my dialect of Igbo etc), but it would make no sense for Igbos to try to claim those words as Igbo words simply because they have meanings in Igbo.

http://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/equiano1/equiano1.html

I heard from the mouth of an elderly person, an Ife chief. Which research is more than that? Then ask a Yoruba person what Oyi and bo means.

Igboid:
I think Oyibo means "relating to Whiteman" in Igboland.

Not just foreign.

And mind you, to an average Igboman, foreign means " non black".

Aki Oyibo- White man's Aki( Palm kernel)

Obodo Oyibo- White man's town. Also white man's country in broader sense.

* Obodo Oyibo in southern Igboland = Ala Bekee.

Oyibo- White man's language. Eg o na-asu Oyibo ( He speaks White man's language.
Just we might say, o na asu Igbo( He speaks Igbo )

But when it comes to the white man himself, he is addressed as " Onye ocha" or "Bekee" .

Either way, Ndiigbo never borrowed the word "Oyibo" from the Yorubas, moreover, what Yorubas use is "Oyinbo" or Oyingbo", and nit Oyibo.

Oyibo is of Igbo origin.

Oyinbo/Oyingbo is of Yoruba origin.

There is nothing like Oyingbo to mean white man in Yoruba vocab. Oyibo is the word but some people misspell it as Oyinbo. The etymology is as explained above. Oyi means air or breeze and bo means peel. Ask any Yoruba around you. Oyingbo is a market in Lagos. Someone said it was a market for honey where people used to bring honey to sell in the past. Honey is Oyin in Yoruba and Oyingbo can mean Everything honey or All honey but I am not sure of the etymology. You can ask the people from there. Just like Alawusa, Ikeja was an Awusa market.

CURRENCY MANAGEMENT 101 - 2

Inflation is taxation, indirect taxation. What causes inflation is new money introduced into the economy by the Central bank, so if Germany has an inflation rate of 4 percent and Nigeria has a 17 percent rate of inflation, it shows clearly the rate of money creation relative to what is already in circulation in the economy.


I must at this point chip in that if no new currency is printed at all, then the value of the currency already in circulation will be rising steadily because it will be getting scarce due to increasing population and other factors. This means that there will be deflation, as in prices of items will start falling. if no new money is printed for ten years except to replace old notes, something sold today for N500 may go for N300 by then. The opposite is the case for when new money is printed which is inflation.


A country with a huge population whose government is not sincere like Nigeria will prefer to raise revenue by printing money. This is because they are afraid to confront the masses frontally to collect taxes because when you push people for money, they will demand accountability. A bad government does not want to be accountable. So they use inflation to tax.


For example, I bought a bottle of big stout for N350 today and it used to be N300. It is a result of inflation. Guinness Nigeria imports some of their raw materials with forex, they pay some staff in forex and etc, so inflation gets to them early. It gets to importers early before it goes round to everybody gradually. The new money printed by government represents what is skimmed off the GDP. The extra N50 I paid on my bottle of stout is partly for the FG, part of the inflation money printed by the CBN. All countries do it but governments whose incomes are majorly in forex do it more arbitrarily for obvious reasons. Governments whose revenue is in local currency taxes are in equilibrum. Inflationary trends are predictable because no government will cause any disruption if its income is secured but if you are expecting 20 billion dollars oil money and you get 7 billion, you have to raise the balance from other sources and the easy way is to print it which causes inflation.


In ancient Yoruba states, the government abused this liberty to manufacture money, then, beads were the currency. The practice of government making beads for use as currency was discontinued in favor of using cowry shells produced by nature in the oceans. Beads continued to be used as jewelries.


So, like someone said, you need a gun to rob a bank but all you need to rob a nation is to control its central bank. I tell you, it is daylight robbery. DAYLIGHT ROBBERY!


SOLUTION


New money should not belong to government. Simple. Let them solicit for money, raise revenue frontally!

TRUTH HIDDEN IN THE OPEN.

The administration of President George W Bush was not wrong to invade Iraq. Why? Because you can not leave a country like Iraq headed by a man like Saddam Hussein who was not under any authourity to decide whether or not Iraq should be inspected for Weapons of Mass Destruction!. If you allow such, it would send an all clear signal to fanatical Muslims whose aim is to amass weapons to force the whole world under their own brand of Islam or get everybody destroyed if we dont comply. A fanatical Muslim is no less than a loose time bomb. Same for a fanatical Christian. Their minimum is for us to bow to their theology. So Iraq was invaded after Muslims hijacked commercial planes and crashed them into buildings in New York killing 3 thousand Americans in one day!. No other choice really than to invade Iraq that was refusing inspections.


The US spent a lot of resources, lost a lot of lives, Iraq even more but no other way out, if you allow banana republics ruled by religious fanatics who preach Armageddon to start proliferating nuclear arms, then Earth wont be standing for much longer. President Bush did the right thing!


However, Americans judged him unfairly because of the billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives lost but would they prefer that we all go down?, that we submit to Mohammedans? As a result of the mood in the US, the most vocal opposer of the Iraqi war in the opposition party made it to the US Presidency as first African American US President, President Barrack Obama. Going by the mood of the country which condemned President Bush's invasion of Iraq, no other person was more qualified than President Obama. The US' system is a meritocracy. So, quit saying God helped him and etc or that he was lucky. He only converted his fortunes well. No other person was more qualified in the US!, He was the most vocal person in the Democratic party against the US invasion of Iraq. However if the Democrat had done the invasion, the Republicans would have felt obliged to oppose them!


Come to Nigeria, President Jonathan was removed because as the Economist described him 'He was an ineffectual buffoon'. He was not ready for a position of high responsibility, he lacked the fortitude and character. Infact, his fellow Bayelsan, Henry Okah, MEND leader accused him of ordering 2 or 3 bomb blasts that killed several Nigerians that he is President over! What a shame!.

So he had to be removed. He was removed by sensible people operating with empathy and common sense not by you. Those people used the person who came handy, who else but General Buhari, the man who has been contesting for the Presidency since 2003 relentlessly, he asked for it and he has now gotten it. They knew the then General Buhari lacked the character and moral fortitude to hold any responsible position even over toddlers but an ineffectual buffoon in the person of President Jonathan had to be removed. Afterall, nothing is worse than a President ordering bomb blasts to kill the people he is President over. It is like a parent using a child for rituals or cooking and eating the child. It is that bad.


So that is the story. Nothing I wrote is classified. All are in the open. Things are hid in the open from people that are not paying attention. So, pay attention, be concerned. The world does not end in your private corner.

FOREX 101- 2

In the first part of this series, I pointed to ignorant Nigerian technocrats that what you produce that foreigners need constitute your forex earnings. I used an example of the pre Nigeria state of Ijesa where kolanuts and intricately woven mats were major forex earners as shown in the national oriki of the Ijesas. I hope that issue is now cleared to Nigerian technocrats and eggheads who are essentially dunces relative to the intellectuals of neighbouring nations.


In the second part of the series of Forex 101, I will use a modern nation as an example. Russia. Russia is a nation of around 140 million people, give or take a few millions. They export over ten million barrels of oil equivalents a day which forms around 50 percent of government revenue in Russia. Nigeria is 180 million that used to export around 2 million barrels of oil per day, forming over 80 percent of government revenue. The question is 'which of them earns the higher forex?'. Both are in recession, government recession, because they depend on oil for government revenue, Russia by 50 percent and Nigeria more or less entirely. If the two countries relied on taxes across all sectors for revenue, the story would have been different as revenue loss would have been marginal. Memorise that.


Russia


Oil is a major forex earner for Russia but I will not say it is the highest because Russia tops the global military hardware export market just like Germany tops the automobile export market globally. So I do not know which of arms and oil earns Russia more forex. Then Russia still export many other things, their people send forex home which adds to the mix and etc.


Nigeria

Nigeria exports oil, less than a fifth of Russia's exports but Nigeria has other exports, for example Nigeria is one of the six cocoa producers that controls all cocoa produced globally, Then coffee, ginger and etc. Indonesians come to Nigeria to buy kolanuts of which over 90 percent is from Nigeria, then bitter kola and many other products, Nollywood is a forex earner too. Then we have far more Nigerians in the diaspora than Russians. They all send forex home. Millions of them all over the world in North America, Europe, West Africa, South America and etc. There is tourism inflow into Nigeria for theology.


So I have given you things to work with as a teacher. Which of the two countries do you think earns more forex?


I have to remind you, keep it in mind that these things I am putting out for free are more than PhDs and even Nobel laureattes. They are products of a first class brain. Not from a run off the mill academic, a bean counter.


So, go and work on the assignment.

OMAR12:
we don't call the white oyibo, we call them onye ocha, oyibo means foreign in Igbo language.that why u hear obodo oyibo like I explained before. there is nearness in similarity BT it not the same. BT begin in a complex society and the fact that the similarity is of two big tribes with overwhelming influence we tag it as one and equal. we don't call white men oyibo in the east.

Hmmm. I doubt if your claim is true. So Hausa land is Obodo Oyibo to your ancestors?. I know white man is Onyeocha in Igbo but Oyibo is used as the word for white man in most places except the intonation is different.

OMAR12:
how well do u know Igbo language, close ur mouth if u don't have anything to say. onyibo means foreign, that why u hear obodo onyibo(foreign land). while light skinned is onye ocha. stop saying what u don't know I repeat.

Onye ocha means white man, since ocha means white just like Onye Ibadan means Ibadan man. Oyibo in Yoruba means Oyi the air peeled his skin or depigmented him. Oyi means air while bo means peel. It was an Ife chief that explained it to me.

somegirl1:

This a debate about the beginning of Nollywood. Distort all you wish, "Nollywood" not film making in Nigeria started with Living in Bondage, an Igbo movie.
What you believe in is inconsequential in this argument.

You fail to see that the current trend of no screens and low budget movies is a setback and not a progress. Most of the productions can not compare to any of Hubert Ogunde's works produced decades before living in bondage and never made into DVDs. Stay there and be celebrating mediocrity when Living in bondage was not even the first to be made into DVDs!

somegirl1:
I've just remembered that this has already been addressed. See below.
The emboldened statement might be true but even those Igbos that produced movies prior to Living in Bondage are not the pioneers of Nollywood.

Small budget 50,000 copies films after which pirates take over are not the ultimate. We will go back to screens. A Yoruba country can have two thousand screens even more making at least 2 billion naira a month to start with. There were films made by Yorubas that were sold on the streets before living in bondage but living in bondage was the first to be very successful on the streets but not the first film or first block buster. Where do you want to put Hubert Ogunde, Baba Sala, Duro Ladipo and etc. That is the issue. I for one do not believe in low budget made for the streets movies. I believe in screens. Hollywood style.

somegirl1:

A weak attempt that rewriting recent history.
Nollywood started with Living in Bandage, Circle of Doom, Evil Passion and the likes which weren't sold on the streets. Pirated copies became available on the streets much later.

So you want to discount the works of Duro Ladipo, Hubert Ogunde, Isola Ogunsola, Baba sala and etc. All film malers? Baba sala produced the first block buster and infact if we dont go back to cinema, the Nollywood products will remain low quality and downrated. Nobody is saying Igbos are not trying but it will be wrong to write the history of Nigerian film making without the people I mentioned. There are also Igbos among those set too.

In Southern Nigeria, the cities globally recognised for urban agglomeration are Lagos, Ibadan, Benin, Port Harcourt, Ogbomosho. They are all over a million. None of Abeokuta, Ilorin and etc. You cant put any of them ahead of Ogbomosho in population. Ogun has a state may have as much population as Oyo or more especially as they have more WAEC registrants but it may be that many in Oyo dont go to school. Ogun has Abeokuta, Ijebu, Shagamu and etc maybe Ogun has many towns. Then there are people in the East but spread into small towns former villages. A place like Enugu is similar in population to Osun according to WAEC registration but the place has Enugu and Nsukka as well known cities both university towns but Osun has Osogbo, Ilesa, Ife as well known but I believe population is similar. So your data that puts Abeokuta, Ilorin and etc over Ogbomosho is wrong. In the North recognised cities are Kano, Kaduna, Maiduguri and Abuja 4 of them, South is 5.

I think the Hausa banza include Yoruba and not Ilorin. It includes Yoruba, Nupe and etc. Not Ilorin which is just a Yoruba city. We Yoruba too have our account saying all humans are Ife people, no banza or bakwai dichotomy because Ife was the first terrestrial civilization on Earth, prior to Ife, everywhere was under water.

Gorkossussay and your likes. You are all irritating. You are foreigners to us, you hear? Oduduwa reject you! You have your own identity please. Sokoto, Kano, Adamawa Fulanis and etc have not a single say on the tiniest bit of Bariba or Yoruba land. How can a buffoon like you from maybe Sokoto or Kano be pokenosing in Ilorin issue? Pls dont give me heart attack I beg!

THE VIRGIN RESCUE
AKIN LAWANSON·SUNDAY, 4 SEPTEMBER 20165 reads
A few days ago, I was watching a movie where the crown prince of a kingdom went insane, so rituals were to be performed to cure him and only virgins clothed in white can carry the ebo to a particular river and bring back water from that river after which he will marry the first one to bring the water.


Take my own case for instance, for a big man with enormous resources like Adeboye to spend his resources on running me mad is no small thing at all, it is no small deal. It is even more complicated by the fact that my family members firmly are on his side with my mother especially, helping him to get the ritual materials he needed to drown me. I tell you, it is no small deal. Esoteric power is real. Magic is real and you are more susceptible when you trust those that are manipulating you. Always be on guard!


So, like the storyline of that movie, Barbara Bush Jr is the young woman, the young virgin clothed in white who brought the water that saved me. She invested her life and virtue in my own life.


When a man's own mother is putting poison in his food and the man is running after a woman for marriage who would not pick his calls or reply his mails, a woman already engaged to another man but who nevertheless travelled to Nigeria to contract the man's employee to poison him before she moves on to marry her fiancee, all while his woman, Barbara Jr, the virgin water bearer is looking on, unnoticed by him, is in a very bad situation.


Barbara saved me. The virgin saved me. I was a lamb surrounded by wolves!

GorkoSusaay:
You're killing yourself over what happened 200 years ago. My eyes are set on the future.


This guy has a circular mindset. Once, an idea is etched into his brain, all facts and evidence MUST lead to that .
It's fun sometimes to poke at the holes in his reasoning, but I just wanted to let you know

As Hausa Fulani, know where you control, I like people to be smart not slow. Be articulate. If you are dreaming of controlling Kwara and Niger state that you never controlled before, that is not smart at all. It is pure fantasy. Will Ilorin, Jebba, New Bussa and etc submit to you?. Please dont delude yourself. Sit up and face reality. I like people to be smart. If Ilorin does not join Yoruba, how can they join Sokoto? Is that possible? I dont like wasting time with people who think like they are in the kindergarten abeg

BUDDHISTS AND ROHINGYA MUSLIMS.

There is a semblance of truth in the article by Nicholas Kristof referenced below but to a large extent, I do not agree with the argument. You can not absolve the founders of religion from blame. If Jesus were born into a proper nuclear family with his mother not getting pregnant beforehand, he would not have claimed the status of virgin birth. He did that to resolve an important issue to him but he never set out to convert the world. Mohammed on his own part, set out to convert the whole world by force to his idiocy. He is in no way different from Abu Shekau of Boko Haram and Al Baghdadi of ISIS, he was a war monger, rapist and arsonist. How was Mohammed different? Jesus too was a thug who fought in the temple. So those founders can not be absolved of blame. They can not be discharged and acquitted by any means. They sowed the seed of the problems we face today. Do not compare Buddha to them at all. No basis and do not compare Buddhists to Christians and Muslims. If Rohingya Muslims insist Myanmar Buddhists are going to hell, then Myanmar Buddhists are obliged to fight them. Not everybody can take such terrorism!. Rohingya Muslims who do not like that should convert to a theology that makes sense! Then, Myanmar Buddhists will let them be. Solution is to renounce Islam.

If Buddha was soft, he at least left a clear instruction 'Dont take my words as word of God, use your own common sense to forge ahead'. This is what the Buddhists of Myanmar have done. I support them.

THE ROLE OF A PROPERLY CONSTITUTED UNITED NATIONS IN ENDING RELIGIONS.

The resolutions of a properly constituted United Nations will be binding on all Earthlings. This is why the UN should be properly constituted. It is such a UN that will have no choice but to ban religion. Anything reducing people to sub humans should be banned. A normal full human should not believe a fellow human being is something other humans can never become. As an Aborisha, such runs directly contrary to my theology. Only God, Olodumare has no contemporary. A man claiming such a status, whether as son of God or last prophet is a mad man!. Simple. Anybody saying bowing down to worship nature, other humans, animals, object is polytheism and therefore wrong is also a mad person. So, Jesus and Mohammed should be posthumously declared insane and banned on Earth. Only a properly constituted UN can do that. North Korea will jump in support of such a move and that nation is the main outlier on Earth today.


It was the Awo Igbonwo mejeeji o se gberu saja that divined for Jesus and Mohammed in heaven in a potential otura meji verse. They were advised to offer ebo but they refused, hence they came to the Earth and misused the ASE given to them by Olodumare. Now the fire they started must be put out.

Igbonwo mejeeji o se gberu saja means The two elbows can not place a basket on a high shelf. That is impossible. You can not save the world with an insane theology, You can not give us peace with Christianity or Islam. You can not say your words can not be questioned and expect peace. You can not be portraying God as an insane person and produce peace from that. The two elbows can not place a basket on a high shelf!. That is impossible!

Ase.


Europe has suffered under Christianity, under psychopaths but today Europe is free from Christianity to a large extent after over a thousand years of slavery and demonic oppression. Europe is still recovering. In the past, Europeans can not convert from Christianity and debating a clergy man was a capital offense. All that is over.


The only country on Earth where a Christian psychopath is calling the shots is Nigeria in person of Pastor Adeboye of the RCCG. It is the last Christian post and he is the worst beast produced by Christendom since inception (I stand to be corrected).


Nobody like Adeboye in Europe, North America, South America or anywhere. No clergy holds the government by the jugular like him.


Thank God for where we are. Thank God that a minion like Adeboye is their last man standing.


So, even now, pending the proper constitution of the UN, once nations like the USA, Russia, China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil and etc decide that religion must end on Earth, then it will end!. I believe it will not be difficult to carry along even core Muslim nations! If they do not agree, it means war! Because we can not let them pull the roof down on top of our heads.


May God assist us.

Watch out for the High Blood pressure Mr. Akin Lawanson

THANKS AND HELP ME BY BEING MORE ARTICULATE NEXT TIME!

IF YOU LACK REASON, WHY NOT STAY QUIET? NIGERIA WILL SOON BREAK UP, LET US SEE HOW IT WILL BE, MAYBE FULANI WILL TAKE THE LAND OF YORUBA AND BARIBA AND NUPE THAT THEY WERE NOT CONTROLLING IN THE 19TH CENTURY! UNINTELLIGENT LOT! PLEASE CONTRIBUTE SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE ABEG. HOW DO YOU THINK A BROKEN UP MIGERIAN SPACE WILL LOOK? WHICH NEW COUNTRIES ON WHICH LAND? WHO WILL JOIN UP WITH WHOM? SAY SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE O!

No one can force Ilorin to do what they dont want to do but the city is 100 percent owned by Yorubas, ethnic Yorubas. The Ajikobi owned that city as at 1897. They have the document but they were acting for the Baloguns. Whatever they decide is ok by the UN. If you dont see that, then you are dull. A Sokoto Fulani has no say whatsoever in the matter. Their jurisdiction is Hausa land. No Fulani ruler in Yoruba land at all. The place has been purged of that cos of the airs it gives some Fulanis. So why do you think any part of Yoruba land is a Fulani country? Pls wise up. Yoruba land is well demarcated, we take everything. No one left behind. No Yoruba will join with Nupe or Hausa. Na Nupe fit join with Yoruba. Bariba will stand alone or join with Yoruba. No Hausa in the equation at all. They are big, their land is in NW and SW Niger. If Ijebu, Ilorin or Egba want to stay alone they will but not as a Fulani country that is not even contiguous with Fulani controlled Hausa land. Cant you see that?

MULTICULTURALISM IS A FARCE. THE CONCEPT HAS FAILED TOTALLY!

GorkoSusaay:
Nowenuse, you should know that Lawani is a very thick guy.
He never lets facts, history and logic stand on the way of his childish mumblings.
Nice write-up on Ilorin, by the way

Gorkosussay who call you here now? Okay let us say other Yorubas ban Ilorin from joining them, will Ilorin now join you? Will they join Nupe or who? Even Bariba will stay alone or join Yoruba! Abeg be serious. Go and join a discussion that can bring you benefit. This one you are joining is a waste of time and energy. You have nothing to gain therein! Are you a child? The Emir of Ilorin is Hausa descent and Hausas are not even allowed to be Emirs on their own land! Abeg wise up! Ilorin will beg to join her kith and kin once Nigeria breaks up and it wont be an issue, they wont even beg, they will just join. If yoy think they will join Sokoto, then you are a sleepwalker! A deluded individual!
