| Christianity Etc › Adeboye's Evil Collabo With My Mother. by lawani(op): 11:16am On Aug 05, 2016 |
I now know that all the things given me by my mother are contaminated. This is a woman that brought Adeboye's clothes for me to be wearing many years ago. I wore the clothes as night dress, even to go out despite that I was perplexed, yet I wore the clothes. The day I was arrested in ile Ife and taken to AIG zone 11 in Osogbo, I think I was wearing one of the clothes. Imagine that! Wearing clothes from someone who spent money on charms to make you go insane! That was how sunk I was. Why would Adeboye send clothes to me? For what reason? When many braindead idiots like my MD and my landlord who are hypnotised millionaires under him will pay millions of Naira to wear his out of use clothes? You should be able to reason that one out. So, my mother knew what was going on and was collecting the materials to ruin my life just because I pointed out to her 'You and all your sisters can not be calling your mothers in law witches, if you are doing that it either means all women are witches or none of those women are witches'. From that point she became determined to ruin my life, showing herself clearly to be worse than her late mother in law that she used to constantly abuse. At least that woman stood by her husband who was one of the top Action Group politicians in the West, who did well in the civil service, politics, business and the corporate world, leaving immense goodwill behind for his descendants. What is my mother's own achievement? What did she do better than my late paternal grandmother who was Iya Ijo of the Anglican church at Ere Ijesa?. She and her husband my grandfather are buried in the church cemetary. My mother went for broke, determined to kill me, she poisoned my food with reckless abandon or how can you explain away secretly putting substance in the food of your own son severally?. I have been intimated that most things with me originating from her are compromised, from wristwatch to bedspreads and etc. All compromised and that is a Pastor Mrs, a Jesus woman. Now, nobody pushes a person to do evil, no one can push me to do evil for instance. A Yoruba proverb says 'Eni ti won ko ni ika to se, ti inu e lo se'. Someone who took an advise to do evil has done evil of his or her own accord or freewill'. So, my mother is who she is; which is an evil woman, a Pastor Mrs.. Are such people expecting to make heaven after they die? No. Folks like Adeboye and my mother do not really believe in God in my opinion. They do not believe God exists that is watching them. They are atheists. So, presently, wristwatch, breadspread and many other items with me originating from my mother were planted to not only ruin my life but to kill me in my prime for the crime of using my brain to think. What if my mother had been a God fearing and reasonable woman? It must be noted that Adeboye is not attacking me because I insisted my mother in law is not a witch, he probably agrees with me on that, but he discovered me independently on facebook just like other politicians and leaders of thought in Nigeria and from all over and he is attacking me because of my articles on how Nigeria will be better and because I described Jesus Christ as a socialist who was indistinguishable from his disciples while today's Pastors are billionaire capitalist and I was using the example of the church as a reason why political parties should not receive subventions from government. I said churches have taken the position of first republic political parties but are not using the position well. He went to a juju man to make me go insane in 2009 and has been trying to eliminate me since then. My family became willing tools in his hands and we are where we are today. If my mother had died in 2007 before I joined facebook, Adeboye would still have attacked me. He attacked me on principle because of my character that is opposite to his own. Without anyone rising to stop him according to the laid down principle of Olodumare, then he would have killed me. Simple. If Adeboye had not existed, one of the people supporting him today would play his part since they are all thesame. If I were from a country like say Togo, Benin republic, Ghana, South Africa and etc, my suggestions would have been adopted and the country would have started moving forward. Nobody would have risen to eliminate me, pull down my business, assassinate my character, block ladies from marrying me and etc. That is afterall how nations are built. |
| Christianity Etc › Cultural Theology Versus Religion by lawani(op): 1:23pm On Aug 04, 2016 |
I will use a successful nation as an example. To grade a nation, you have to consider peerage. European nations are peers, Southeast nations are peers, West African nations are peers. On any scale. Japan, South Korea, Singapore emerge tops whether by peerage or we just throw it open. Japan is the biggest and most impactful of the trio. So, let us use Japan as our example of a successful nation with a cultural theology as it was with all nations in the past without exception. The Japanese are very spiritual. They pray before doing anything and they are the best example to use for this illustration. The Japanese and other Asians are more mature about God matters and are infact more spiritual than others. The stopped Christianity on its track in Japan in the 16th century. Hundreds of adherents were rounded up and executed and the nation was saved. They took industrialization from the West and rejected Christianity and Islam, holding on to the ways of their forefathers while supporting other non aggressive theologies that want to take over the world. They are co funders of the Ifa heritage institute in Oyo while the Yoruba themselves follow violent criminals like Adeboye and Oyedepo about thinking they are holy men amongst other expansionist capitalists in Islam and Christianity. What should be the way forward? A nation should have a cultural theology like Japan and any alien theology that is against the cultural theology of a nation should be banned in that nation. For example, Shinto is the cultural theology of Japan and Muslims and Christians are preaching against Shinto saying Shintos will be burnt in hell if they dont convert to Christianity or Islam. So the two theologies should be banned in Japan and any dissident found in Japan should be made to go to hell on Earth for peace to reign. Two rams can not drink inside thesame bucket. Simple. If a theology is preaching against ancestor worship, nature worship, tutelary deities and etc which are all parts of human culture, then, that theology should be banned before we lose this human civilization to the war the theology will eventually cause. |
| Christianity Etc › Pastor E A Adeboye Of The Rccg Unmasked! (an Overview) (11). by lawani(op): 1:13am On Aug 04, 2016 |
Pastor Adeboye is a self confessed former gang leader. The problem is that it is what he still is. You can not be a gang leader at 30 and tell me you are now born again at 71 like Pastor Adeboye is doing. My question to you will be 'What were you thinking when you were breaking into homes as an adult of 30 years?' How do you expect me to take your word for it that you have been purged of your criminal mindset? I hold people suspect who are irresponsible as accountable adults. Pastor Adeboye killed a policeman in 1971, ostensibly during one of his gang operations. Remember he confessed to being a former gang leader. This would have happened where he was living back then. There was a police ad out for him. He later became a lecturer, from where he joined the RCCG. He became an interpreter to Reverend Akindayomi. On the death of Rev Akindayomi, there were no less than 50 Pastors senior to Pastor Adeboye in the RCCG but he obviously saw the potential in the church work for finally covering up his criminal tracks and divert attention from himself. He seized the opportunity with both hands and society is the worse for it. One unsolved murder of a police man multiplied into 160 new murders. He was somehow able to hoodwink many of the Pastors in the RCCG by means of a purported tape of God's voice which he played to them to secure the position of church leader. In the tape, God stated that Pastor Adeboye should be the leader. Many Pastors resigned. He became the church leader and set a new agenda of enslaving millions complete with a blueprint to carry it out and fatally crush any opposition in his path. A criminal minded person is not a rational minded person and a rational person is not a criminal. Pastor Adeboye is a self confessed criminal. Nothing is too debase for him too dabble into. The only crimes he does not commit regularly are the ones yet to be inventoried. He is an all rounder criminal. He became a pain in the arse to the people watching him. If he had been a magician and not clergy, if he had been a politician, a business man or a proffessional, then he would have been summarily assassinated by the Intelligence people, without much ado and with no one being bothered this way. However, unfortunately, he is a clergy man. A man worshipped as God by millions. The fact that millions see him as God earned for him a special pedestal which calls for a special intervention. You just do not take him out without setting the records straight, as another crook will just take his place and business will continue as usual. (He claims he never does anything without the knowledge of his lieutenants) He might even die being celebrated as a holy man. The CIA wants to avoid this at all costs. This special intervention to help the deceived folks and put an end to the nonsense once and for all is what is now underway. 1 Like |

| Culture › How To Become Orisa- Serve Humanity! by lawani(op): 10:39am On Aug 02, 2016 |
Well, the Yoruba believe dead people can be contacted. For instance, Ogun takes palmwine because of the Ogun Ajero who was my ancestor that liked palmwine when he was alive. Dog because of Ogun Alara. Ogun Orun does not take any food, the foods or rituals are based on Earth incarnations or Ogun Aye. Obatala is a vegetarian. If I want to invoke Apoti of Ipetu Ijesa today or Opejin of Ibokun, there are ways based on who they were when alive and they would respond. It happened in the Bible when King Saul contacted Prophet Samuel's spirit. It is technology. In thesame way, any historical event can be made into an Ifa verse under the relevant chapter or odu of the 256 and from that story, items for ritual sacrifice can be deduced and ratified by covenant which we call 'imule' then it becomes Oogun, a supernatural tool. If President Bush Sr or Jr or Mrs Barbara Bush or Mrs Laura Bush were to be deified over this humanitarian thing they did for instance, a point of contact will be made, let us say President George H W Bush likes Remy Brandy or just grapes, then that item will be used as a point of contact with him by anyone for eternity. That is Yoruba theology and that is how people become orisha. A saying goes thus 'Oore ni Ogun se ni Ire ti o fi di orisa, oore ni Oya se ni Ira ti o fi di akunlebo and etc' 'Ogun became an Orisa because he performed a humanitarian duty in Ire, Oya performed a humanitarian duty in Ira and she became someone to be worshipped and etc'. That is how it goes. You have to add value, then you become orisa. You dont become orisa by adding trouble as did Jesus and Mohammed. The Bush family are now living orisas and many traditions, ritual sacrifices, incantations and etc will be based on members of that family. They will live forever. Awa donile A o ku mo Ase Edumare Edumare Ase Ifa is ever evolving and not a rigid scripture or holy book. It is poetry, technology and art. http://farinadeolokun.com/enter-ile-ifa/odu-ifa/ |
| Family › There Have Been Tears But Mainly Barbara's Not Mine. by lawani(op): 10:08am On Aug 02, 2016 |
I dont understand people who think I am still pained. Yes I was but not any longer since I discovered Barbara Bush Jr in 2013. They say I have run out of tears when I have only cried in this affair once which was when I was tricked from Ile Ife to Ilesa by my Dad and others and detained in a psychiatric hospital. Because I was not expecting such, I shed tears for a few moments when I woke up from a long injection induced sleep in a psychiatric ward. Apart from all that, I have since been laughing at people who think I am pained or that I shed tears. No, I dont. Why should I? I laugh at you because you are the way you are. If an adult can not reason at all, that will be a comic relief but it is also dangerous. Who has shed the most tears and prayed the most in the course of everything?. That is Barbara Bush Jr, CEO of Global Health Corps. Not Akin Lawanson who is being constantly nudged ahead by Evangelist Bonnke, President Obama, Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckenberg and many others. Certainly not me. It might be a form of jigsaw puzzle to fix but it never called for tears. I was heartbroken because the people I had including parents, siblings, Daddy GO Adeboye and friends rose against me. Who would not be? But since I know I have better people on my side and for me, I have since gotten healed. Use your common sense! Empathise with Barbara Bush Jr. You already got told by your parents and grandparents 'Your life is entangled with this young man's to save his life' and you went ahead to get his name tattooed on your body as a mark of devotion but since he does not know, he is still running after a certain lady thinking your ids on his yahoo messenger are owned by that lady, any young woman in that situation will cry and pray and that is what Barbara has been doing. Well, other people cried too like the girl I felt was initially controlling the ids, who gave poison that almost killed me to my employee, who was used by Adeboye in conjunction with my brother Boyede to submit videos to assassinate my character, the actress I contacted after her who suggested that my landlord be used to poison me with injection under the guise of immunization after she was blocked by Adeboye and I crossed over her to the US singer, even the US singer who is a murderess may have cried too. There is also a possibility that some women I never contacted also cried. All the people that cried also laughed hysterically at many junctions. Only Barbara Bush Jr CEO, Global Health Corps is in it with me, with thesame emotions (upon finding her) and thesame purpose. She has never been happy at any misfortune of mine. She is a constant. Empathy is the greatest ability of a human being. Empathise with Barbara Bush Jr and everything will fall in place. You will have sense. If you find that difficult, then you have character issues or reason defects. It means you are not a real human being. |

| Foreign Affairs › The Anc And South Africa. by lawani(op): 5:27pm On Aug 01, 2016 |
My response to a post on post Apartheid South Africa where black Africans are yet to get a good deal. Some still found a way to blame Western nations. We must know that the most persecuted political leader by the West was Fidel Castro until recently. You can only point to Robert Mugabe, Hugo Chavez, the North Korean leader and etc after Fidel Castro and Fidel Castro is a white man of Spanish origin. Russians and Chinese pack some weight and can not be easily intimidated while Iran is not under a single individual. MY RESPONSE People of European descent are 10 percent of SA population, then there are also Indians and Japanese in the place who are indigenous too. The ANC are in power and they are to blame. I have not been to South Africa but I hear a South African can travel to almost all countries without visa hassles and etc but possibly they may be economically worse off than the average Yoruba but I believe not more than the average Hausa person, both groups are in Nigeria. No running water in Nigeria too and the main thing the Yoruba may be said to have above South Africans are education and ownership of farmlands. So, cash crop production and farming in Yoruba land are under Yoruba control with all the income. Not under the control of white people. That is the difference.Then there are millions of Yoruba people scattered abroad and South Africans are not like that. The problem of South Africa is sharing, not land redistribution. If you are running your nation well, it does not matter who controls what, so far things are shared somewhat equitably and only government can facilitate that. What has the ANC done about that? Nothing at all. So they are to be blamed. If you share the goodies, the GDP will rise. Already the per capita income of SA is similar to China's. The challenge is redistribution. What should the ANC have done?. On assuming power, they should have instituted tax funded education for all, to all levels at whatever costs to equalise everybody intellectually just like in Germany, then they should have guaranteed employment for all. Everybody must get something and everybody must contribute. SA is rich on a per capita basis and if they had done that as soon as the ANC gained power, I am sure by now their per capita income would have been at least 30 thousand dollars pa, three times the present value. Botswana is over 15 thousand dollars pa per capita. Now, tell me why they left that undone?. I will advise the SA people to vote out the ANC and vote in the party formerly headed by that white woman, Mrs Helen Zille. Only that I no longer believe in party politics. In Europe, they are not doing anything more than redistribution in their welfare states. They are just managing. Many Africans, Indians, Chinese, Pakistani and etc are high networth individuals in a place like Britain, they pay tax to fund the welfare state of majority white British. How are they different from white South Africans with land who farm commercially in South Africa or Zimbabwe?. |
| Christianity Etc › The Ife Account Of The Origin Of Human Existence. by lawani(op): 2:26pm On Aug 01, 2016 |
When your ancestors pass something down to you that was given them by their ancestors, then you are duty bound to pass thesame down to your descendants as well. You do not need to ever believe you are wiser than your ancestors. There are evidence all over that very advanced people were on Earth in the past. The Kemitic Egyptian pyramids are said to be alligned with the constellation of Orion and are visible from space even if not all, so they could have been used by star trekkers in the past as a kind of means of tracking the Earth while in deep outer space. We still do not know how the pyramids were built nor can we replicate it. Our level of technological advancement still falls short of that. Among the Yoruba, a popular saying like 'Osupa laye' meaning 'the Earth is moonlike' clearly denotes someone looking upon the Earth the way we look upon the full moon, someone on an extra terrestrial platform like the Apollo team on the moon. The people who started that saying were star trekkers. Look at another saying 'Se ni aye nyi, eda kan nto lehin ni' meaning 'the Earth is spinning on its axis while humans are trudging along its surface.'. So, those are the facts in your face and I am not even an Awo. Those sayings are in the open and are not classified. So, if Yoruba theology says in the past, advanced extraterrestrial humans led by Ogun Lakaaye landed on Earth as soon as land protruded out of the oceans and established the first human civilization called Ife from which all others sprang forth, I am strongly inclined to go by that simple explanation of human existence. What there is out there superior to that? If Yoruba says Earth is of Akamara, that is Aye Akamara, that a grain of sand became a basketful became a ton and etc, why should I not accept that simple explanation?. However, nowadays, people have airs and so, ignorantly and arrogantly look down upon their own ancestors who from all indications were far more advanced than them. For instance the Yoruba speak an Egyptian language, so those who brought us the language could write in Aroko or hieroglyphics, later Arabic writing was known here as well but it was not encouraged and reading and writing did not become mainstream. How do you explain that? So, apparently, we have lost a lot. So, get off your high horse and stop thinking you are in a way more advanced than the earliest Ife Ooyelagbo people who founded the place when Ife oodaye was destroyed over ten thousand years ago. More stories must be collated from Eastern Ghana to Igala and even the Yoruboid groups in Enugu. Such accounts will fill an encyclopaedia and all should be treated with respect as accounts of highly advanced ancient Ife peoples. For instance, the Ugbo salute themselves 'Ugbo omo atorunwo!' meaning 'Ugbo descendants of astronauts who landed on Earth from space'. And so on and so forth. Our children must be taught that the current Ife which is Ife Ooni is the Ife Ooyelagbo descendant met by the British. Other places named after IFE includes Ife Ibinu (Benin city), Ife Emai, contracted to Afemai of Ora people, Ife Odan in Osun state, Ife Ijumu on Okun land, Ifeke on Idanre, Ifewara on Ijesa land, Mawufe in Benin republic, Amadzofe in Ghana, Ife Igala on Igala land, Ifetedo and etc. All those places are named after the original human civilization on Earth called Ife. All cultural spheres should have their accounts and theology even if contradictory. So, the Yoruba or Ife peoples should guard what was passed down to them very jealously as it is invaluable and expository knowledge. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nowadays in West Africa, men gawk when they see skimpily dressed or bare breasted ladies. It was not so in the past. When I was in NAPIMS, NNPC in 2000, Mrs Kolade, my boss secretary told me her father in law always insisted that women pounding yam for him to eat must do so bare breasted without any encumberance. Bare breasted dances, even teenage girls going to the market bare breasted were common sights back then and it was no big deal, the ladies were not seen as promiscuous. Women going bare breasted in protest groups was seen as a high form of protest and you had better watch it if that is being used to protest against you. No purdah for Yoruba women or any enclosure for them in the past. They engaged in trade, production and etc. They were partners with men in everything. They contributed their quota fully and had their own fraternities. Many became very wealthy, some became monarchs and where a woman is not the monarch, women were still well represented in the government. Nudity was part of our culture. Maidens generally and indeed men were skimpily dressed because we live in the tropics. For matured women, total breast baring is the highest form of protest! It happens when you push a woman to the wall. For example, if you push a woman of the status and social standing of Barbara Bush Jr, CEO of Global Health Corps to the wall by holding her innocent husband (Akin Lawanson) hostage while she has to tend to the nuclear family without him and she comes out publicly in protest bare breasted, then you know you are ROASTED SUYA.

| Investment › Inflation And Interest Rates. by lawani(op): 4:53pm On Jul 30, 2016 |
What governments via central banks, have power over, is inflation, it is inflation which in turn drives bank interest rates. Government has no direct power over interest rates, only inflation. It is the commercial banks that receive deposits at different rates and give out loans at higher rates to make profit. If you control your central bank then you control your inflation fully. In the Eurozone for instance, no single country controls inflation, it is done in Brussels the seat of the European council. In ancient Yoruba land, government did not control inflation since there was no central bank. Cowry shells were used which are picked for free on the coast. If ECOWAS used a common currency, that currency will not be inflated anyhow according to the finances or whims and caprices of the government of any member nation like Nigeria. It is reckless pumping of liquidity into the economy that has made the Naira worthless. 30 years ago, a hundred naira per month salary was a huge salary, equivalent to up to 200,000 naira today, if not more, because back then, a brand new state of the art Peugeout car equivalent to a Peugeuot 607 today maybe around N3,000. I believe no other country's currency has been inflated so much within so short a period. How did N3000 in 1985 become equivalent to N6 million today if not by money printing?. Money all over the place but little value. That is inflation. So far nobody is printing your money for you apart from your Central bank, then nobody is causing your inflation apart from your CBN who do it on instruction from your government. If I bring 1 million dollars into the country Nigeria from the US where inflation is 5 percent to here where it is 17 percent, then net inflation is 12 percent which means my capital must earn well over 12 percent interest before I will invest it in your economy, else I will eventually lose the capital to erosive inflation. Inside the country, when more money is printed, the price of goods will rise, other things being equal, because there will be higher demand due to more money in circulation. Look at a scenario where people buy all garri in the market because they have more money and only yours is left, it means you will increase your price. That is the principle of high liquidity causing prices to soar, however people like me on a fixed salary are stuck. The price of everything will rise with inflation, including the cost of capital. A government depending majorly on forex income will always have reasons to inflate or deflate the currency depending on whether or not the forex comes in as at when due and in expected volumes. That is basic common sense. If you were expecting 100 billion dollars and you see 150 billion dollars, then you change them to Naira to offset your Naira bills, you will not use your central bank power to print money just then, so your local currency will rise in value or stabilize with reduced inflation but if you budget 100 billion dollars and receive 50 billion dollars, you will print money to offset your bills and inflation will rise and the value of the currency will drop. This applies to Russia, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and other forex dependent governments. The most important of which is Russia. It can not apply to a Yoruba country of 100 million people with 35 million workers having income in the local currency and paying income tax in that currency. No it can not. |

| Christianity Etc › Too Many Laws In A Zombie Society. by lawani(op): 12:49pm On Jul 30, 2016 |
Christians have the ten commandments given to Moses, then a pile of dos and donts and compulsory, irrational, sometimes toxic beliefs which they believe makes them a better person. Muslims are not at all different. Then nation states sometimes have whole libraries of laws, giving rise to a law industry. By contrast, ancient people had only one law. The Ogboni for instance has one law alone which is 'Do not do ika'. Dont do evil. Dont do something to others which you dont want done to yourself, followed with 'you must always help people in a good cause, that ask you for help', you are obliged to help. The Ogboni chant their prayer or mantra in their meetings. Igba omo ile ki e gbo o Irinwo omo ile ki e gbo o Eni ba seka ko mala Gbogbo omo ile ki e gbo o E ma se ika ke le la o. Translation Two hundred children of the Earth, take heed Four hundred children of the Earth, take heed Whoever does evil must not prosper. All children of the Earth take heed Let us not do evil, so that we may prosper. So, abstaining from ika to escape the 'esan' or karma was the only law. That is the only law followed by reasonable people, then they cooperate with nature and others. Wrong is not evil, but wrong is wrong. Take for instance a man making ten million naira a month in his business employing 50 people, that is 120 million naira a year, out of that he spends 20 million naira on himself, on holidays and other frivolities, then 50 million naira on maybe three of his children he is sponsoring in elite schools, 20 million on bank loans, 25 million on flamboyant charities, then 5 million a year on 50 employees including married people with children who have no other option. If an employee of that man steals his money, that is wrong but it is not evil, that is not the ika prohibited by the morally advanced humans that lived on Earth before Christianity and Islam became the norm. There are many other examples. |
| Politics › The 1966 Coup In Nigeria. by lawani(op): 12:42pm On Jul 30, 2016 |
'Revolutionary justice is not based on legal precedence but on moral conviction, we are not executing thieves or political opponents, we are executing murderers'- Fidel Casto to critics of executions by the Cuban socialist government in the 1950s. If General Babangida had led the 1966 coup, it would have been devoid of sentiments and it would have been a success. He planned a coup, the one that removed the inept and corrupt General Buhari government in 1985 and no life was lost. He consolidated the army, convinced his juniors as well as his colleagues then deployed armoured tanks to the police headquarters to hem them in for the moment. No life was lost, the regime heads that defiantly returned to Nigeria were arrested and merely placed under house arrest despite that they approved the death by firing squad of drug smugglers with a retroactive decree, a judicial murder of people better than them. One of the young men thus killed said he does not steal and if he had known he would be killed, he would not have smuggled drugs. Despite this, General Buhari was spared. So a person of General Babangida's temperament, who sees life as sacred would have carried through the 1966 coup properly. You kill ruthlessly those that deserve it and take caution not to kill any innocent. If you engineered rigged elections in the West and deployed police to kill thousands of protesters during the wetie riots, you deserve to be killed, you do not deserve to die peacefully in your sleep, since you are not a higher specie of human than those people you ordered killed even after you cheated them. So someone like President Babangida would have singled out those that will be killed execution style and those to be arrested. If I were PM Balewa, I would have resigned rather than dance to Sir Ahmadu Bello's tunes, that way, he would have survived. Sir Bello had already made his stand known in several interviews, so as the PM, you had to hold your ground or you fall with him. PM Balewa fell with him. You dont kill thousands of innocents protesting against you for brazenly cheating them and expect to go free. Something would have happened one way or the other. If not this coup then the other. Egypt, Ghana had already fallen. In thesame way, if the AG leaders hounded to jail for treasonable felony had really planned a coup and got it up to the stage of firing a single gunshot, then it surely would have been successful and neatly done with people slain ruthlessly that deserve to be so slain, any dead innocent would be the victim of an accident not of an assassination. Those people were Ogboni who do things with common sense and people older than them back then would caution them. However, after all said and done, the advise still holds 'If you are working for a government or an entity, killing people without remorse, you are working as a politician for such a government, you better resign, that is in your best interest because you are culpable as well, if you are urging people on as they kill thousands of innocents, then you are culpable, because your life is not more important than that of those people you see as cannon fodder. To a real empathetic human being, human life is sacred, otherwise you are a beast. So if you are a member of such an entity, the best course of action is to resign in solidarity with the people unjusly slain, because your life is in no way more important than that of those people being killed. When you complain of Igbo soldiers killing your leaders in an Igbo coup, remember the thousands of Yoruba farmers, traders and etc, innocent people, mowed down by the then FG under the orders of PM Balewa's government. It would be wrong to discount those people while blaming some people for killing your leaders. So, resignation remains your best bet or line of action when you find yourself suddenly camped on the wrong side of history. The best bet to save your own heads. 1 Like |
| Science/Technology › The Bill Gates' Notes-the Us Leadership From 1870to 1970and The Future Of The Us by lawani(op): 12:31pm On Jul 30, 2016 |
As at 1870, the USA was not very much different from Yoruba land in technological advancement and economic development but things have changed a lot since then. The USA took the baton from Britain and has been leading up till today. If China were like Japan, China would have around 40,000 USD in GDP per capita and over 3 times the US GDP and possibly three times the budget. Many nobel laureattes would be from Chinese universities, probably at least two times the US number and many of the Fortune 500 companies will be heaquartered there in China. India too could have been like that. The world would have been a very different place today. Possibly, the world may have been forced to enter a new industrial age in the 1960s driven by innovation and urgency from China and India but unfortunately the US government is still the biggest spender on Earth when they should be third. If all debts are cancelled today and everywhere organised to be taking income tax, then China and India will have budgets surpassing the US by next year or 2017, I believe, because everything will even out at once like magic. With debts cancelled, US, Japanese, German, Danish and etc corporations that have amassed technological knowhow over the decades can move into everywhere including China, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Nigeria with their expertise with a mandate to even out things and engage local people as suppliers with work starting in earnest. The Americans have the technology to power the Earth with solar electricity which can reduce power costs to even 5 percent of present costs, Denmark has the knowhow for windpower which can be used too. Japan and Germany are in automobile. The USA, Japan, South Korea, Norway and etc in microelectronics. If 100 million dollars is invested in any plant, yearly growth may not be more than 5 to 10 million dollars and those companies can be nationalised in all countries with majority of capital investment provided by national governments, meaning even the increase due to growth can hardly escape from the local economy while everybody is taking income tax. So under such an arrangement, China and India will have a bigger budget than the USA in the first year meaning they must have more responsibilities. The only advantage some corporations, not nations, will have is that they will have stakes in some heavy industries developed by them but at the end, Toyota India will be an Indian company with some Japanese on the board and within a few years, most of the innovation in the company will be Indian in origin. Development will be the focus rather than arbitrary growth. Growth always happen in a growing population but when you use less resources to achieve much more, that is development. A major economic development will be the closure of all fossil fuel fired power plants worldwide. Imagine paying twenty thousand for power instead of 500 thousand. That is a development which the USA already has patented. Once all nations are sitting ip with the major leap forward sponsored by the USA, then the USA will drop to number 3 in economic size, research output and etc immediately. If no sovereign debts, China can raise double the US budget if they use same tax regime. GDP per capita or rather wages, will equalise for workers across the globe, whatever you have will be enough for you to live on. If India is broken up into ethnic nations, then the USA will be number 2 after China which will be fine by the USA. If people are contributing money, let China contribute 400 dollars and the USA 100 dollars. That is the way it should be and it will be that way within a few years after everywhere is restructured. The US has been tasking her citizens in the cooperative venture of nation building while China watches. Time for China to enter the fray, then China will have a budget at least two times the US budget this year. China, India and other nations can then immediately start innovating at thesame rate as the USA. The result would be Earthshaking. The Bill Gate note is a must read, showing how far Earthlings have come between 1870 and 1970 led by the USA. The future will even be more dramatic by far. In a properly constituted UN, the biggest bloc will be China not the USA and the biggest money will come from there as well unless they lose their people to others. We just want it to be a Singapore like China. A free and open country With a Singapore like China, we are all good and the US can be sure of a rise and rise in growth and development under the new system. If China and India had braced up earlier, the US would have insisted they contribute majority of the money to be spent on global security. The rise from 1870 to 1970 was steep and what is coming next will be even bigger. I agree with Mr Bill Gates on that. Everybody should read his opinion.

Deadlytruth:You are right in a way but only murderers deserve death. Ahmadu Bello had made his stand known publicly about Nigeria being the estate of his forefathers which is very bad since Dan Fodio's territory is clearly demarcated. Not even all NW fall into it. That public statement made him culpable and it is quite apparent that he was pushing or controlling PM Balewa. The rigging of election in the West was the fault of PM Balewa because he was placeholder for God, though all accounts describe him as a good person. The fault however is his. If he was cornered, he should have resigned and he would have survived it. The primary fault was with PM Balewa and thousands were killed in riots in the West because of that fault of his. Sir Bello was his godfather. All of Okotie Eboh even Akintola were unjustly killed. |
| Career › Agberos And Omo Oniles by lawani(op): 9:54am On Jul 29, 2016 |
In Western Nigeria, any transport corporation must be a government business. The largest one is the one owned by the Lagos state government and it must be the largest transport corporation in the country but state owned. There are no privately owned garages in Western Nigeria. You have to join the National Union of Road Transport Workers as a player in the industry and that organisation is a semi mafia organisation. They coordinate everything in the West pertaining to commercial transportation. There was a time some people in Ilesa set up a parallel union 'Self Employed Drivers or so', they were attacked and the house of their leader burnt. The case went to court. The NURTW are everywhere in the West, controlling garages and at each bus stop, collecting money from buses picking passengers. There are equivalent organisation for commercial motorcyclists too. The people collecting money are called Agberos or touts because they help transporters solicit for commuters. They make money and deliver a percentage to their superior who delivers to headquarters who deliver to government. Money collected in such a manner in Lagos everyday may be close to 500 million naira because they are all over the place in their thousands. It is a form of sharing because the sector provides income for thousands of people. If you remove them, uniformed people who can even be graduates should take their place but now working for the state as civil servants but can they be more efficient or can they do anything better, or better the society? I doubt it. So I dont think anything wrong with the agbero system. They are touts just like real estate agents or stockbrokers. By contrast, based in Eastern Nigeria are some of the largest private transport corporations in the world with one individual worth hundreds of millions of dollars from that venture. They own garages, have staff, drivers and brand buses but is that sector better in the East than in the West? Is transportation cheaper? Are they more efficient? I do not really know. Let people find out. The Omo onile are indigenes or area boys who will go to real estate developers and ask for their share before you are allowed to continue development. It happens in most big cities in Nigeria, even in PH and etc. It is a result of lack of organisation. Omo onile money should go to LGs. However, if they come to you, ask for the house of the Baale if you want to pay, dont just pay to anybody, so that you dont pay many times over. All are forms of sharing. If you have money to build, no big deal in dashing the community some money as well. That is my view on the two phenomenon. |
| Nairaland General › Afin, Ofin, Alaafin, Olofin And The Word 'finished'. by lawani(op): 9:38am On Jul 29, 2016 |
Anything 'fin' in Yoruba generally means perfect, concluded, closed and etc to the satisfaction of or in fairness to all concerned with no aggrieved or wronged party. It is obviously thesame word as the French 'finir' and the English 'finished'. It is funny how words rhyme, if you say finni finni in Yoruba, it means perfect and closed and it is thesame in ofin (do mi) which means perfect, it occurs in Afinju which may mean proficient or expert. The English word 'finish' is not too far from that root just like they say the old English for iron is a word sounding like the Yoruba word 'irin' which means thesame. The word Aafin which is a King's court is also from thesame root of ofin (do mi) which means perfect or ofin(do re) which means law. So Aafin means a place where no rubbish or frivolity is allowed. A place of law. In an Aafin, everything must be 'fin' or 'finished' Ofintoto also means perfect and so on and so forth. Ajisefinni, Afinbiokin and etc are Yoruba names that sums these my positions up. Ask Yoruba people around you for the meaning of those names. So I am forced to agree after I had earlier disagreed, that the words Alaafin, the title of the Oyo emperor is etymologically thesame as Olofin the old title of Ife emperors. Alaafin means the owner of the palace or perfect court while Olofin means perfect ruler. The Awori in Lagos and Ogun still use the title Olofin for the monarch of Isheri Olofin while the Ooni nominally uses the title Olofin Aye as well. I would like to believe that the English word 'finished' and the French 'finir' are etymologically from thesame root as the Yoruba 'fin'. Dont you?. |
| Science/Technology › The Empire Of The Sun. by lawani(op): 11:56am On Jul 28, 2016 |
Enough sunlight falls on Earth in ten minutes to generate all electricity consumed on Earth for one year. That is remarkable and what it means is that the sun and no other energy source should generate 90 percent of our energy consumption on Earth. If ten minutes of sunlight falling on Earth can produce all electricity consumed on Earth for a year, then 20 minutes will surely power all vehicles, sea going vessels and air planes along with providing electricity. So, twenty minutes of sun light a day will solve all power needs for the Earth without exception, for a year. This means 20 minutes of sunlight on January 1 will power everything on Earth up till December 31 that same year but that is for sunlight falling everywhere on Earth and everything can not be trapped in such a manner all at once but the sunlight falling in twenty minutes can power everywhere. I have already described how it can be done in earlier articles. We can not trap all sunlight and we do not need to. All we need to do is to have photo voltaic arrays ie solar PV arrays, spread over some portions of Earth, maybe a third of Nigeria in size, I did the calculations but have forgotten the spread size. It has to be all over the world to track the sun not only in some zones. When America is dark, African installations will generate power for that continent and vice versa. There will be arrays on the high seas, no batteries needed, just microwave plants and phased array equipments, transmitters, power broadcasting equipment, low Earth orbit satellites and rectannae stations. Power will be produced with reckless abandon because a large portion will be lost to leakages during transmission and generation. The phased array antannae systems for instance may not, because of leakages be able to have more than a 60 percent output transmitted to the low Earth orbit satellites which will reflect it to anywhere on Earth for use but if you are sitting by the ocean, selling seawater, you will not be concerned about efficiency of output. As the Yoruba say 'Aponmita kii sofo'. 'A water seller can never run at a loss'. The sun or sunlight is the ocean water in this case. That is the issue. So if what is described above is not Nikola Tesla's free energy, what then is? He talked about tapping energy put there by the sun which is exactly what solar wafers do. If there is bright sunlight, the photons will be more agitated leading to more energy produced by the wafers. So, the above was what Nikola Tesla was trying to articulate. Nothing more, nothing less. The only mistake he made was to describe the phenomenon as free energy when nothing at all can be or ever is free. You have to build equipments even if cheap and those equipments have to be maintained as well as operated, incurring costs. So it can never be free but it can be ridiculously cheap since it can be at mediocre costs. Denmark has already achieved this with wind power as their electricity is at mediocre costs relative to Europe’s average cost while solar generated power by PV arrays will be at mediocre costs relative to windpower . Denmark’s electrical power is at mediocre cost because of the windpower component in it which makes Denmark unique in Europe. Germany too does load shedding during the day since most homes have PV arrays. Europe uses solar more than any other region on a per capita basis. More than 40GW ie 40,000 MW of solar power is installed in Germany presently. So, no self acting engine or heat pump is needed to power the world at mediocre costs. The nuclear reactor that has been blasting away since the beginning, ie the sun, is more than enough. The Earth needs to enter that period, it will lead to even greater things. We step up space observatory and exploration and very soon we will have the technology to colonise a recently cooled planet in the habitable zone of its sun, a planet with land for terrestrial life. There will be life there and even human beings even if not advanced. When we land there with a proper civilization, that would be Ile Ife and then the cycle continues. This sun we depend on will burn out in the future and it is our duty to reach out as did the people who gave birth to us. With the help of God. 1 Like |
| Politics › Think Before You Talk Or Act. by lawani(op): 12:26pm On Jul 27, 2016 |
Before you blame anybody for anything, you must be able to point out the alternative course of action that should have been taken, so when you blame the US for invading Iraq, should the US have allowed a Saddam Hussein government to refuse nuclear inspections? When you blame the US for enforcing a no fly zone on Libyan cities leading to the ouster of Moammar Ghadaffi, should the US have allowed the Libyan government carry out its public threat of brutally suppressing an uprising of whole Libyan cities within 48 hours? If Buhari want to suppress an uprising in Yenagoa or Warri by using the airforce to bomb out the protesters, will you be against the US imposing a no fly zone on those cities? You blame Colonel Ojukwu for declaring Biafra but the country was already divided and a meeting had to be held in Aburi Ghana because Colonel Ojukwu said he can not attend any meeting wherever there are Northern Nigerian soldiers, be it Lagos or Kaduna since he would be murdered for being Igbo and Igbos did not start the carnage, the carnage was started by brainwashed Hausa Muslims in the 1940s. You blame the Yoruba for fighting Biafra but as a Yoruba leader would you have voted for accepting Igbo overlordship with an Igbo Governor in Lagos and an Igbo puppet in Ibadan? Put yourselves in their shoes and consider that the Midwesterners of lower population attacked the Biafrans and killed 50 soldiers but were overwhelmed. So think before you talk and let your words make sense. If you can not put yourself in other people's shoes, then you are not a full human being. You can adopt the Rotaract four way test for your speech and actions and to evaluate the actions of institutions and people. It will make you a better person. Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? |

It means the SE can be making 2 people naira billionaires everyday to infinity, non stop! That is more than 700 naira billionaires a year and this does not in any way affect any other thing. One billion naira investment can yield 300 million naira a year. 500 people can be working in each one and that will go on to infinity. That is how nations are built.

Which deity is causing more havoc on Earth than Mohammed nowadays? Please give me a definition of monotheism from you. In my opinion, all Qurans have been deified, making over a billion deities in possession of Muslims, the Kabba is a deity which Muslims go to Mecca to worship exactly as done by pre Mohammedan peoples and etc. So, in Yoruba theology, various energies are incarnated as human beings frequently (we all carry a peculiar energy), these energies are Orisas. For example if a particular King likes to test people's integrity, he may be recognised as Esu. If he is leader of a benevolent government, that is Obatala, Aganju likes the forest or nature, Orunmila is concerned about others. Oduduwa has excellent character and etc but Olodumare can not be incarnated and he is the Oba ateni ola legelege the owner of all ASE.
