Structure, if you change and change Nigeria will be d same.

Imagine state collecting 13% Allocation for years without anything to show.

Use your head na, put the food you have been eating to good use. Are you saying Nigerians are subhuman? If not, what is the solution? Mind you, Boko Haram have a well articulated solution which is 'Stop the western system of doing things in Nigeria and revert to Isam because the Kanem Bornu, a pre Nigerian Muslim state was not a corrupt state'.

cybernaut:
Yoruba elders lack wisdom upon dia intelligent and education still dey lack wisdom. Wat is d difference btw aburi accord 1967 by our hero ojukwu and these present national confab. Nigeria is a fail nation everybody shuld go dia separate way. Yoruba is wicked and heartless people because aburi accord was implemented Nigeria would have been a great nation. Remember reserve war is coming btw yoruba kingdom and hausa/fulanis kingdom. We are fighting our curse since biafra war ended till today. Our brother is dining in cold blood. Our next outing of ipob is full arm and no idiot can stop us. Hausa are killing our warriors bt don't 4get soon everybody will feel d heat.

You are misinformed or ill informed. Can you cite a pre civil war statement to prove that the Yoruba were against the Aburi accord?

WOW!!! We can do this!



The above though.

The major benefit of correct census figures, everybody having an id and a current account is that economic actors will have access to loans. For now, the masses make do with cooperative societies which is much more cumbersome

You can not be talking of export when you have not covered 30 percent of local demand. Not that you will not export but that should not be your policy statement. It is just like Innoson motor that is constantly saying they are exporting automobiles when they have not covered 10 percent of local market. If your production is efficient and cheap, your products will travel far but there is no need to have a 100 mound farm while going about saying you have 10 thousand.

But there was no US military base in Nigeria during world war 2. The US theater of war was Asia and later Europe.

400 million dollars is a lot of money, maybe he is classifying a palm oil refinery or rice mill as a farm but those are not farms but factories or plants. It is not wise to go into farming with such a huge amount of money, infact it is not good to go into any business in that way. In our town of Ere Ijesa, there are farmers who produce 10 tonnes of cocoa, five of coffee, then kolanuts, palm oil, yams, cassava, maize and etc. Such tonnage of cocoa coffee, kolanuts and etc pa may bring close to 100 thousand dollars a year, so such a farm may have its value pegged between one and two million dollars. I have heard of farmers like that in our town in Ere Ijesa with over 20 properties scattered in Ilesa and Osogbo. They use labourerers and supply produce buyers. We can put the value of their farms at between 500k to 2 million dollars. They are big men and there are a number of such people in Osun, Ondo, Niger and all over the country. Then there are thousands who produce 2 to 5 tonnes of cocoa per annum, kolanuts, coffee and etc. They are small holders but doing well. Such people exist all over the country. In the East, the main thing is palm oil, then things like Ogbono but palm oil alone, if managed well can bring 30 billion dollars a year.



However, to throw 400 million dollars at once, managed by one company, into farming is not necessary, it is even risky. I believe no bank will touch it unless the loan is well secured. The Abakiliki people who already produce rice should be assisted to multiply their production to increase GDP. There are people who already produce rice. They just need assistance. Possibly they can use all that money and increase production to 3 billion dollars rice a year.

It can not be gainsaid that one person can not be left to run a nation. Infact one person should not be left to run anything not even a school, a manufacturing plant or anything. People should not be subjected to the initiative and good judgement of only one person because even if that person is morally upright, he or she can still make mistakes. Nobody is a strong man enough to run everyone and everything. Infact, this is a major setback of socialism as the system requires a strong man. The bottom line is that a society should not put any person in charge without making the person subservient to someone else or a group of people who will as a master act as a check on the person in charge. And the system for checkers at all levels must be the golden rule 'Do unto others what you want others to do unto you'. With such a rule, anyone, any group, any nation, any organisation will achieve good success.


When monarchy was introduced among the Yoruba, the Ogboni fraternity was introduced along with it and every Yoruba town or city had an Ogboni council with officers and members. All free men were members of the Ogboni. The government was subject to the Ogboni and the Oba was just a protagonist, representative or messenger of the Ogboni who could be removed by the Ogboni without any ceremony. Non members of the Ogboni are called Eriwo while members are called Omo ile meaning children of the Earth. Despite the paraphernalia of the Oba's office, the high veneration and accolades, the Ogboni fraternity can remove the Oba without any hassles.




The Ogboni operate with a simple rule 'Be fair to others' and their mantra is a prayer, saying 'Any Ogboni who is unfair to any human being will not prosper'. An Ogboni person is a free person with no master. The Ogboni member has only one master and that is the conscience under God.


So if there will be progress, peace, prosperity and stability in any nation on Earth today, the committe in charge of that nation must be firmly sworn to fairness to all humans irrespective of where they live on Earth. All humans, without exception. The watchword of that committe must be 'fairness to all at all cost' and such a committe will reserve the right to remove any President or Prime Minister without ceremony or hassles, once that leader has fallen out of favour with the committee on principle. Nobody should hold absolute power apart from the commitee and that absolute power of the commitee must rest on the golden rule. All decisions by the commitee will be unanimous and without opposition because anything morally wrong even if merely against a child on the other side of the world, will be rejected immediately by the commitee. That commitee was the Ogboni in ancient Yoruba states and that committee is the top echelon of the CIA in the United States today.



The CIA is an Ogboni institution and the assembly of their top echelon is an Ogboni assembly in all ramifications. An Ogboni assembly is a solemn assembly. Resolutions are passed on their utter merit and every member will leave the meeting very light, knowing they have further advanced the cause of humanity, they have done the work of creation, they have worked for God.


Because the CIA is an Ogboni assembly is why you will not find the name of a US Politician in the Panama papers. US Politicians know they are being watched by the CIA, so they behave themselves. The President has the final say on executive matters but that is after all issues have been raised by the CIA top echelon. The shame or glory will then be the President's. The President will remain on good terms with the CIA, so far he is on the narrow path of the golden rule.




So it must be reiterated, it must be restated that there can be no prospect of success for any nation unless they are operating a similar system with the US with respect to the CIA. The CIA is an Ogboni organisation. The earliest Ogboni states were the Yoruba states. The main feature is that the head of the nation state and even other officers have no absolute power and can be removed at will by a seemingly faceless commitee whose only rule is fairness to others. The nation carrying that on today is mainly the United states, though it is also a democracy.

Active line is a line that was used not longer ago than three months. So a state with 5 million such lines has more population and larger economy than one with 4 million such lines. It is an indication of population and economy size surely but the figures dont imply real population of phone using adults, in my opinion, it will be less than double the population of adults. I used two phones for instance but one is no longer active. The average is between one and two phones for adults.


Then SW is Yoruba even if there are some Igbos and Hausas and etc there. How many millions sef? If we are 60 million in SW, non Yorubas can not be more than 10 million and more than ten million Yoruba are scattered in places like PH, Calabar, Kaduna, Zaria, Kano, Jos, Warri, Onitsha, Asaba, Abuja, Minna and all major cities and towns in the country. They spend money there and have investments there which surpasses what non Yorubas have in Yoruba land.

The Yoruba cities there are Lagos, Ibadan and Ogbomosho, Hausa are Kano, Kaduna, Zaria. Kanuri is Maiduguri. Igboid is PH. Edo is Benin. Abuja is Gwari even Kaduna is Gwari but in the NW. If the population benchmark were reduced to 500 thousand, probably cities like Enugu, Abeokuta, Ife, Ilesa, Onitsha, Owerri, Osogbo and etc would be included.

Another ranking
http://theafricaneconomist.com/50-largest-cities-in-africa/#.V0rA3RzTUwM

This is a United Nations report. Oyo has two of Africa's mega cities, Kaduna also has two, Edo has one, Kano has one. Lagos one, Borno has one, Rivers one and etc.
So a mega city has more economic worth than non megacities in thesame country. Ogun has none but have more population than Edo and Rivers with one each and so on and so forth.

Abidjan, Mogadishu, Accra, Nairobi and etc are ranked higher than any Nigerian city save Lagos.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_areas_in_Africa

bryan1991:
Abuja

Lagos

Port Harcourt

Calabar

Enugu

Kano

Uyo

Oweri

Kaduna

Ibadan

If a city has piped gas, piped water, good roads, good road network, good security, constant electricity, produces some major things cheaply, then it has good infrastructure, especially if that city is not expensive.

Ibadan has everything you want to imagine, they have better piped water than Lagos, better road network, residents take charge of security by employing OPC or Bariba to secure their areas. Ibadan has cattle ranches and beef is cheaper there than in most Nigerian cities. There is an excellent football stadium, one of the best, huge markets and a lot of notable residents. Lebanese, American and etc. If you have to choose between Lagos and Ibadan with thesame income, you will choose Ibadan unless you are a fool of course because Ibadan is cheaper. So, I will say no Nigerian city is ahead of Ibadan unless you can show how and Ibadan is like a bigger Ilesa, Osogbo, Enugu and etc because Ibadan is as cheap as those cities but still has everything you may be looking for in Abuja or Lagos sometimes moreso. I grew up in Ilesa though.


On the ranking of cities by economic size that will be

Lagos

Ibadan

Kano

Benin

Port Harcourt

Ogbomosho

Maiduguri

Kaduna


and etc maybe not accurately but not far from that.

So people should stop deceiving themselves.

orisa37:
The NASS can do it well, nice and square. All the States, 36 of them, have equal representation in the NASS. That's the same number of Senators and Representatives per state. SW, SE and SS are bankers already. Now work on the NC. Get Plateau, Kwara, Nassarawa, Benue, Kogi, Taraba South, Kaduna South and Niger South interested in Full Autonomy of their States Governments. Raise a Bill for FULL AUTONOMY of the 36 States at the NASS and at the individual State Assemblies AND POW IS FREE AT LAST!!!! Don't be afraid of the NW for there the shots are fired. Just have ANIMOS INTENDI in the sw, se, ss and those states I mentioned from the NC and you can call the Bluff of these Sharia infested Fulani Herdsmen. Let each state Assembly resolve now for FULL AUTONOMY of her Government, pass to NASS such Resolutions and before long, we will all know that education is better than chewing goro.

Division is better for everybody including the NW. What they need is a guarantee that their imports will not be tariffed. Tomato alone can earn tonnes of forex for the NW. Prior to colonisation, leather, indigo and etc from the NW reached North Africa and Europe. I dont know any Yoruba product that reached Europe. Kano leather was known as Moroccan leather. Even if Hausas believe they will be shortchanged, you should enlighten them that seizing control of their affairs in the Hausa country is best for them. You should not be fanning the embers of quarrel.


Then you have a template for secession on your homepage which makes sense except that you did not mention a petition to the UN. Nigeria exists by the grace of the UN not on merit. So the UN is the decider. The Yoruba can only be great after exiting Nigeria.

I agree with this, with the collaboration of concerned traditional rulers, LG chairmen, state governors, houses of assembly, it will become a reality but you dont mind the FG that much, just notify them, the people to appeal to and court are the people at the UN who all agree that Nigeria is an open sore on Earth surface.


So, the write up is excellent and the only thing missing there is a petition to the United Nations and that happens to be the most important step. This is what the Yoruba should do after which we then militarize our place to a reasonable extent.

tooco:
today u are really talking sense.

What do you mean? I dont talk sense before? I came here to learn, so when I say something not sensible, please correct me but you have never commented on any of my posts. I hope you are sure of what you are saying and that you are addressing the right person. Please reconfirm. Thanks!

orisa37:
Divide the Country YES, but it's easier and better done constitutionally by NASS..

I doubt if the NASS can do it. To me, the best way is for each ethnic nationality to take their destiny into their hands. The Kanuri for instance should join their people in Chad and etc. Any group can get their people to submit a petition to the UN and notify Abuja.

oduastates:
OK. If you are talking about yoruba blood, scattered all over the world, you are right. But if you are talking about a new yoruba nation founded by those within the geographical space called Nigeria, then you are exaggerating the population.
But to address the core of your matter, the future of Nigeria is bleak. I just do not see this country ever forging any form of togetherness. Most parts of the country seem to chosen their little path to backwardness.
Lawani,This is why I commend the SW leaders for trying to make the best out of a bad situation.
Probably only Obasanjo has governed with any form of fairness. Look at Jonathan, look at yaradua, look at Buhari and the way they stack government full of their tribesmen. They are seem to be afraid of their own skins.
About incomes and revenues. I can assure you, we are better off,out of Nigeria, than within it. Between 1963 and 1999, yoruba intelligentsia spent the better parts of the lives in and out of prison for the country to move the country from dictatorship to a democracy.
The problem was not the dictatorship or the democracy , it was the type of leadership .
The oil on which they have doubled down upon is destroying the country while countries like India are making $99 BILLION in export by typing "ABCDEF1234,IF,THEN,ELSE" into computers aka programming.

Of course the aim should be to merge with our people in Benin republic and Togo with whom we have been one before Nigeria. What do you think is the population of Yoruba land in the SW and NC? If Lagos is 25 million, I put it at 80 million, if 20 million, then it will be 64 million. We also have people in Benin and Togo. Then Bariba and Egun are Yoruba speakers already. A country encompassing all Yoruba speakers will emerge as the most populous in Africa over Ethiopia.

The economy is diversified. It is the government income that is not diversified. When you say Nigeria's economy is not diversified, you are using a wrong expression like the people in government who use certain memes to advance causes that are detrimental to nation building, thesame way religion does it. The GDP by PPP is over 1 trillion dollars per annum, of which oil receipts represents not up to 30 billion dollars per annum. The economy can be more diversified or developed but it is already diversified as it is.


Then the Yoruba have no reason to be in any country as a subnation where they are involved with some other groups in a totally unhealthy rivalry for decades. A country where Yoruba culture and language is not the national brand. There are not up to 7 ethnic nations on Earth more relevant than the Yoruba by way of population, so if we are not one country with the Germans or Chinese, we dont need to be one country with Igbos or Hausas. Let people go and form their own countries on their own lands where they are the majority and where they can easily allign interests to better the lot of their people.



Enough of marking time on one spot with insincere politicians pushing people around, using ill thought out policies and spreading as truth utter untruths. Given another century, it will not get better.

People say churches should be taxed but only church workers can be made to pay income tax. A church is a not for profit organisation, so it can not be taxed as it does not declare profit. A church is set up to manipulate people's mind to accept that they are nothing without Jesus, to convince them they need to give their lives to Jesus. The protagonists go to any length to achieve this including killing people, reaping billions of dollars in the process. So, in thesame way Bill and Melinda Gates' foundation is committed to ending diseases worldwide, a church is also committed to derailing people's minds, turning them into hate filled zombies under Jesus, zombies who are scared of God.


So a church is not a business and it can not be taxed. It is a violent organisation teaching people to hate others that are different from them while trying to subvert the whole world under their own brand of Jesus theology (there are thousands that do not agree with each other) just like the Boko Haram are doing. So, the activities of churches and mosques are not compatible with human coexistence and mutual respect and therefore advancement. They should be banned. What they do is they assassinate the character of God.


If human ritualists, rapists, cannibals, genociders and war mongers are not allowed to set up schools to be teaching people their ways and winning souls for their causes, what this means is that Islam and Christianity, Mosques and churches too should be banned and not accepted as normal in the name of secularism and freedom of religion. Religion should be banned.

I dont think Ijaws are claiming PH. Everybody know PH is Ikwerre. If Ikwerre are now saying they are Ijaws, it will be a done deal for the Ijaws but it is only Bonny and Opobo people who claim to be Ijaws not Ikwerre. Ikwerre claim to be Ikwerre and the language is Igboid, so they can choose to stand alone or be with other Igbos. I believe they have nothing against Igbos, so why not stand together with SE Igbos in an Ikwerre state? All Ikwerres understand Igbo but not all Ijaws understand Igbo. Let Igbo be the official language in the Igbo country and Ijaw in an Ijaw country. Let Ijaws talk to the Ogoni to join them the way Bariba will likely join Yoruba, so all of Ogoni, Eleme, Okrika, Bonny, Opobo and even Andoni can be one with Bayelsa as a new state but if those people want to stand alone, they can, they have the population.

You need to pay attention, then everything you need to know will be revealed to you. It works both in the physical and the spiritual dimensions. In the spiritual dimension, it is about divination. You have a divination system like the Iching system or the Ifa system with their 256 basic messages in the combinations, you know how to recognise each combination, then you pray to Olodumare for clarity then cast the Ifa to receive your message for the matter at hand, you pay attention and you are alert. Everything is done under the assumption that Olodumare will influence how the cowries or whatever will fall so as to guide you. Everything is a sign. The first person you see in the morning is a sign, the colour of his cloth is a sign, his name is a sign, what he came to tell you is a sign. Everything is meshed together in a singularity and Olodumare is using every means to reveal secrets to you. You just need to PAY ATTENTION. That is on the spiritual plane.



It is just like that on the physical plane as well. Pay attention! Little details tell the whole story. All you need to do is pay attention. For example, nobody told me Adeboye is a crook, I knew by myself but I continued to attend the church because my parents are full time Pastors there. How did I know? I could not accept as authentic his claim of capturing God's voice on tape which was the means by which he deceived the RCCG management to be named the church head after Rev Josiah Akindayomi's demise. He played a purported tape of God's voice to the RCCG leadership and over 50 Pastors were bypassed to name him the church head. Many of the ranking Pastors left the church immediately. Not being able to stomach the fraud. From that time in 1981 it grew worse. So, when I heard that story as a teenager, I knew something was amiss. The final seal came when he prophesied the death of General Abacha and it came to pass. That was the time it became clear to me that the man is a criminal but I still felt he merely was informed by those who did the killing but now I know he was the originator of the plan. He made the suggestion and contacted the Ibadan man who made the charm called 'Magun' in Yoruba. They placed it on General Abacha's girlfriend and sent her to him. The man had sexual intercourse with her and somersaulted, he died in front of his body guards. Adeboye knew because he set things in motion, so he seized the floor to make a prophesy on it to impress his cattle at one of his Holy Ghost Conferences. When I see Adeboye zombies comment on the matter saying 'if it were another person that got that message from God, he will not let the country rest', I pity them for their gullibility. They are not paying attention, you need to pay attention to qualify as a full human being. Both on the spiritual and the physical plane.


Now, it can be possible to know by spiritual means if something is going to happen. For example, a former employee of mine, his father's first son said his father told him 'If anything untoward is going to happen to you, I will know beforehand'. And that is the truth. If you open a portal for it, you will receive it. Simple as that. You have a modem for it, you receive the signal. If a pious Babalawo had used Ifa a day before General Abacha's assassination to ask Olodumare if General Abacha will die or not, It would have been a clear Yes, if the instruments were well consecrated and the divination was approached correctly but no Babalawo could have been paying such attention. They would have had more important things to do that will fetch them money. So,anyone giving such an information in an offhand manner did not get it through divination but because he had prior knowledge. A Babalawo can make predictions using Ifa but not in an offhand manner as do people like Adeboye, Oyedepo and etc.



So if I watch anyone carefully for a reasonable length of time, I would be able to say with a very high degree of accuracy what their reaction will be given any situation and I will do that more easily if I am opportuned to watch them when they do not know they are being watched. So that is why since this business started, the CIA knew how it would end because they know all the characters involved and can predict us all accurately, the way you can predict the behaviour of chemical radicals, the way you know how certain metals will react on exposure to certain acids. They knew because they were paying attention. Add, remove, multiply, divide, impoverish, make wealthy and Adeboye will remain Adeboye while Akin Lawanson will remain Akin Lawanson as Opposite characters. It does not matter who is helping or who is against who. The character will remain constant. So the CIA could easily predict in a scientific way, the end from the beginning because they are paying attention.


I did not have access to the level of intelligence available to the CIA but I saw Saturday underneath Sunday because I was paying attention as a child of God. We all should.

If a government will be owing the civil service of a state containing at least 4 million people or citizens up to 5 months salary when the whole salary bill is not more than 10 million dollars a month, then it is better for that governor to resign honorably, let him throw in the towel, the deputy will take up the job, if the deputy also has no idea how to move forward, he should also throw in the towel. In the fullness of time, someone with a grasp of the issues will emerge. Another way is for the governor to write a MAYDAY letter to the CIA. 'I head a state of 4 or 5 million people and I have no idea where to source money to pay salaries', the CIA will help, they can even second an official to Ekiti.


However, in reality, every single soul in Ekiti including day old babies, destitutes and beggars can afford to give on average and on a daily basis N100 to the government. Isnt it their government? Some can part with more, some with less but average can not be less than N100 a day, it may even be up to N500 but there is a need to organise Ekiti state, regulate wages and take income tax before such can be realized. Every worker taking salaries in Ekiti must have a current account titled salary account and all banks in Ekiti must be mandated to pay a legislated percentage of money paid into that account into EKSG account as income tax. Then, land use, fines and etc and the N100 per head per day will be assurred within a few months. With 4 or 5 million people in Ekiti, the revenue will gross up to 500 million Naira a day and N15 billion Naira a month. I have not met a Nigerian that can not part with N100 a day. People in Europe and North America pay almost half of their income as taxes.


So in reality, Gov Fayose can increase Ekiti IGR to 15 billion Naira a month, increase workers' salaries, double rice production in Ekiti, go into power generation, attract industries and etc. At the end, he will never be forgotten by Ekiti people.


However, if he is too timid to do any of the above, he should resign, it is not right to not pay workers for 5 months when cities in your state are burstling with economic activities. If you are at your wits' end. Dont sell yourself. Just resign.

If the President Obasanjo led Federal Government had not seized Lagos state LG allocations when the LASG under Gov Tinubu created new LGs, then today, Lagos revenue would not be so much more than that of Kaduna, Oyo, Kano. When the funds were seized, Lagos being in opposition did not beg or slow down, they looked inwards. Katsina and others that also created LGs then had to eat the humble pie, they cancelled those LGs. Only Lagos held out and that was because Lagos was in opposition. The holding out and sourcing of revenue from other avenues has made Lagos financially independent today while other states like Kaduna, Oyo, Kano, Rivers and all others that can make money from landuse as does Lagos remain desolate by way of IGR. Also, Lagos has not done more than scratch the surface of the possible Lagos Internally Generated Revenue IGR while most other states are more far behind. A state with no wage regulation has not started taking income tax as wage regulation must be done before everybody, every worker can be captured in the personal income tax net. What Lagos is taking is not more than land use charges which belongs actually to LGs, some income taxes from the workers of big companies, LASTMA fines and etc. I will say over 90 percent of possible volume of income tax in Lagos is still outside the net. A state that has not captured all workers can not solve unemployment.


Lagos generates over 80 percent of its revenue and Lagos is followed by Sokoto which generates close to 40 percent. Lagos was pushed by the President Obasanjo government while Sokoto was not. In that wise, Sokoto performed better than Lagos and would have bested Lagos if they were generating 80 percent of their revenue but they are not, leaving only Lagos as the fore runner.


Most other states are at various stages of insolvency despite containing huge cities burstling with people and economic activities as well as valuable real and farming estates.

We live today in a capitalistic world, a debased world where people do not only say money is everything, they also go further to say money is the only thing. When our ancestors invented money, it was to facilitate the division of labor. In other words, it was to facilitate people helping each other. Nothing more than that. If money has now become something more than that in the 21st century world, that can be attributed to decivilization.


In a highly developed economy of the modern day as opposed to the economy of an Indian tribe of 1000 people in the Amazon forest in Brazil, the economy of bushmen in the Kalahari desert or even some uncontacted tribesmen in Northern Nigeria, money is needed because a single person, a family or a community can not produce everything they need. One person who is an accountant and family head needs money to buy food, clothing, accomodation, pay bills for his family and etc. We consume apples in Nigeria which grows in Europe and Europe can not do without chocolate made from cocoa which grows only in six non European nations and etc. So in very developed national economies trading with nations over huge distances, money is and remains a very important tool.



However, widespread ultra capitalism has taken this to the extreme. Ultra capitalism does not believe in sharing. Only in grabbing. Ultra capitalism reduces expenses by reducing number of employees when possible and by the introduction of cheaper production processes and etc. No thought or consideration about the goose that lay the golden egg by way of providing huge markets for business entrepreneurs. That goose is the masses. The pre industrial world put them into consideration and shared everything such that uneployment was never a topic for discussion anywhere in the world prior to the industrial revolution. In my opinion, ultra capitalism led to the Great Depression which happened when companies were producing and governments did not think of financially empowering those who will buy the products.


I also must say my opinion is that ultracapitalism is the cause of societal ills like widespread drug abuse and etc because If things were shared such that every human being has a respectable job like teacher, researcher, policeman, sales attendant, manager and thousands of other responsible positions, then drug abuse and even crime by anyone will be minimal. Has anyone ever seen a primary school teacher in charge of kids whose life was messed up by drugs? Such may exist but they are very far in between. Some people in responsible positions abuse drugs but are able to stay afloat. A large part of the world's problems is caused by ultra capitalism and lack of empathy.






WHAT IS BETTER THAN MONEY?



As earlier posited, money is needed by individuals who live in societies with highly developed economies. You need just a little money to cater for your needs. Housing, clothing, feeding, transportation, telephone and internet, then health. You do not need more money than what you need to offset those expenses. In an advanced nation like Germany, it is now reported that most people in their 30s do not buy automobiles anymore, they make use of rented cars managed by companies, parked all over the city when they need to drive. They will enter the car with a pre issued card and they will be metered. Car service and maintenance expenses are borne by the car rental companies. So, the money needed by a human being is determined by the size of his or her household. In the past, a household contains the household head, family and workers and all will share in responsibilities and benefits with no one left behind. So a large household will need a lot of money while an individual needs only a little. If an individual has a lot, it will be a waste until the person gives it away. So, money, seen correctly, is not everything. It is just a tool. A man with a family needs more of it than a single person.


A saying goes thus 'Eni nwa owo lo to pade iyi lona, ti o ba ri owo tan, iyi naa lo ma fi ra. Meaning 'A person looking for money encounters honor, even if he had encountered money, he would use the money to buy honor.



So when they ask you 'What is better than money?'. Tell them 'Honor'. Honor is better than money. That was the way it was established by those who inaugurated human culture on Earth. Honor is better than money.



Honor is dependability, saying it as it is, respect for self and others, reliability and etc. Name it. It is better to be a honourable person than to be a wealthy person.

NRIPRIEST:
This thing you wrote belong to the trash can!

That is the opinion of the people. Anything established by Nri will look like Nri, if not, then it is not Nri but they adopted the language of the Nri people. Mind you, if they were not many in number and powerful enough in the past, they would not have been able to maintain their status as non Nri. Nowadays, Nri has been able to overwhelm them with language to make them Igbos but in the past they used Yoruba to communicate with hq in Benin.

Since Oranmiyan left Benin in anger for Ife leaving Owomika his son, it has been father to son, no contest in Benin. The practice was taken to other places in Delta state. The Yoruba are not like that. Any Yoruba kingdom contains thousands of eligible princes who can contest for the throne. The Oyo used to be like that by having an Aremo but it was stopped when some Aremo engineered the killing of the Oba. Then the Yoruba Obas are like errand boys to the Ogboni. Sango's elder brother was removed for being weak, Sango was appointed, he later was banished by Gbonkaa, then he committed suicide. The Ogboni reappointed his elder brother. In Yoruba, the Ogboni rules while the Oba is just the one they are using in thesame way the CIA rules the US today. However, if I am Edo governor and an Oba misbehaves, I will not only sack him, I will also expel him from Benin city.

Ase is the energy imbued in everything created by Olodumare. Living and non living, seen and unseen. Everything is imbued with Ase Olodumare. That is the reason why the Yoruba bow down and worship all the creationS of Olodumare. If it has ase, it must be respected and the highest form of respect is worship.


If a thing's attribute is stable, then it may mean the Ase will be stronger in that area where it is stable. This may mean natural resources like mountains, rivers, trees, ocean and etc have strong ase that can be harnessed by those who know how.


When it comes to human beings. We are special because of our complicated nature and social skills which calls for a lot of balancing act and rationality which is the realm of Esu, the old man at the junction. Esu does not suffer fools gladly. You have to be straight as a rule to be on good terms with Esu. Iba o!. What can increase the ase of a human being is the practice of truth, brutal honesty always. The Awo have rituals and practices for ase enhancement. There are even preparations of different types of ase like Mayehun, Olugbohun, Gbetugbetu and etc. For some of them there are claims of high potency. Our ancestors used highly enhanced ase to protect themselves. For example, someone accosted by armed robbers can ask them to drop their weapons and go just like that and they will do just that. I read online where someone said he used one to stop an automobile from starting. He gave an example of a wrong use of it by a friend who used it to command a lady to UnCloth and the lady did that, a cheeky lady that could never have done such ordinarily, he did not touch her and it later led to a quarrel with the lady avoiding him henceforth and etc.


There are different ways of ASE enhancement but the natural way is the practice of truth. Someone who practice truth is bound to have ase on his or her tongue!. The very speech of such a person is ordained by Olodumare. So, the less you make lying and shady dealing a habit, the more powerful your ase is. You talk only when necessary and mean what you say exactly every time. That is a person imbued with Olodumare's ase of high potency.


Another way to look at is that if you are going to convince someone of something and make it last as an idea or ideology, it will help if you believe that thing yourself. For lasting success you have to believe fervently what you are trying to convince other people of. This inner conviction also helps the ase immensely. A milligram of fervent ase on an idea can make the idea infectious even if it is a ridiculous idea. One milligram will become a gramme, a kilograme, a tonne, millions of tonnes till everywhere is saturated. Examples of this abounds. Socialism, Christianity, Islam and etc are all good examples. This particular attribute of ase is the reason why many people including retired clergy and etc who have studied the Quran and the Bible thoroughly and extensively ave severally risen with the conclusion that Jesus the self acclaimed God cum son of God and Mohammed the self acclaimed last prophet were both mentally deranged folks. They were mentally unstable. They do not want to call them liars because it appears because they appear to have believed what they were spreading and what man with his faculties intact will claim to be God or last prophet which others can not become? Then go further to threaten unbelievers with hellfire? Only belligerent and bellicose people do such or mentally deranged people. This is why many scholars insist the two men were insane. Schizophrenic.


If they were not lying but spreading what they believed was absolute truth, then their ase would have been strong and growing stronger as a consequence. Mad people are imbued with Olodumare's ase as well and there are categories of insanity. So, ase can be dangerous. Jesus' own is holding billions to ransome today started as totally insignicant at around 25 AD, same with Mohammed's which started in the 7th century AD and both men, who were clearly mentally deranged have their ase holding billions of Earthlings in bondage nowadays. Such is the potency of ase. Such is the power in practicing truth always. Such is the result of believing yourself what you are trying to make others believe. It worked for two essentially insane men. Jesus and Mohammed.

In normal countries like Norway, Japan, Australia, Canada, government has nothing to do with forex. In a place like Norway where a forex yielding sector is nationalised, the impact impact or imprint on revenue profile is relegated forcefully by taxing people heavily to reduce the forex component of government revenue to like 20%. People who need forex are locals who import things. Never government. government does all its financial transaction in the local legal tender. People who bring in forex are those who sell locally produced things abroad. The banks and bureau de change are the intermediaries. If I am coming into Nigeria from Europe to buy cashew or ginger, I will deposit dollars into a domiciliary account with a Nigerian bank and then withdraw it when I land in Nigeria, I will change it to Naira at the bank, buy my ginger in Kano or my coffee in Kogi or Ijesa land, load it on ships headed to Europe to my customers. There is not supposed to be involvement of Government at all but if government floods the economy with Naira, the value of that currency will drop. The dollar from Europe will remain at the banks or bureau de change where importers who need it can access it. If Ijesa were a country, several billions of dollars will be brought to that country per annum to buy farm produce like cashew, cocoa, kolanuts, cotton and finished products like Trophy, Beta malt, Castel beer and etc, nails, paint, palm oil, plastics, vegetable oil and etc to sell in West Africa and across the world. There are also services which people come to Ilesa for from across Nigeria. Those products will be our forex earners. There are other economic activities going on in the state. Forex also come in by way of remittances from Ijesa abroad. Concord hotel was built by the late Captain Haastrup who made his money in Port Harcourt. He also built a technical village along Ibala road which I dont think he ever opened.


Forex comes into Nigeria from a variety of sources. Nollywood films sold abroad will be over 50 billion dollars per annum in volume. A good part of that dollars end up in Nigeria. People export charcoal, bitter kola, ginger, cashew, cocoa and etc to Europe, raking in billions of dollars. As a matter of fact, the chief earner of forex in Nigeria and by a wide margin must be the Southwest of Nigeria in form of remittances from abroad, farm produce, Nollywood, charcoal, gold, timber, crude oil and etc. More than 50 percent of Nigerian forex must come from this region. Only that the FG dare not touch it. They concentrate on the Niger Delta who are cooperative rape victims of the Nigerian state. The whole forex coming from the region may not be up to 20 billion dollars a year while the Southwest must be well over 50 billion dollars.


Take a place like Kano or the Northwest as a whole, if they were independent, forex earners for them will be groundnuts, tomatoes, Kannywood, pepper, maize, ginger, rice which will earn billions of dollars for them in West Africa alone. Their forex earnings will at least double that of the oil bearing South South. The SE has palm oil, cocoa, cassava, their share of Nollywood, remittances from abroad and etc, The main thing in this area is palm oil, a produce which Malaysia of less than 30 million population maybe making over 40 billion dollars a year from and etc. There should be no need for government to take forex from anyone or to be in charge of forex. They should infact as a rule not touch it.

I am just a young man that felt that making Nigeria work is a duty of every Nigerian, a duty which must supercede trying to become a billionaire. It however can not supercede having a source of income. A source of livelihood is most important and I already got that as an undergraduate of the Obafemi Awolowo university. By the end of 2005, I had around N700,000 invested and a number of employees. When I was going for NYSC, Mr Adebayo Ismaila, operations manager of Intercontinental bank OAU branch gave me advise 'Authourise your staff to sign your accounts and let them also presign a letter removing their mandate'. He also offered that they be bringing my stock to the bank for safe keeping. All this while, I never knew that my mother had dug in to ruin my life because I said I do not believe her assertion and that of all her sisters that all their mothers in law are witches. How can that be possible? I opined. And if true, my mother in law can not leave her witchcraft because she must have accepted it for a purpose just like you people are pursuing your born againism. She laughed but it did not reach inside. That was the point she (my mother) determined to ruin my life. I never knew she could do such evil but there was an indication in 2003 or so when she visited me at OAU and said how can I be doing business without giving her money. She gesticulated that I will suffer for it. I was scared but I did not understand really. I pointed out to her that my capital was not more than her two months salary and that even me, I am yet to benefit from the business but evil people are evil people. That much I have learnt. They are not rational. She threatened me because she knew the pact she had entered into with Adeboye in 2000 and the level it had escalated to. Subsequently, the daughter of a RCCG Pastor, whom I employed to oversee my business when I was in NYSC, ruined the business and I had to arrest her with police in 2007 after NYSC, I recovered some money after some court sessions but it was a major set back. By 2008, I did not have more than N500,000 in business. Yet, my Intercontinental bank manager, older friend. Mr Adebayo Ismaila from Ilorin begged me to let him invest in my business, I said I will come back with a list of assets and my vision for the business. That should be around 2009 or so. I went back to him after giving him the document, he then said he is building a house and etc so he does not have money anymore. I did not understand until later. Prince Aderemi (Lambua) and his wife also met me in Ile Ife, we were tenants in thesame shopping complex while he grew up with my Dad in Ile Ife in the 1940s. So he and his wife were desperate to invest in my business. He invited me to his house and introduced me to the Managers of UBA and GTB Ile Ife branches in his house on thesame day, but Adeboye blocked him too. That GTB Manager too seeing my turnover at their Ife branch told me he needs to discuss with me about business but Adeboye blocked him..


Adeboye blocked the over 5 million naira I should have won on Glo's who wants to be a millionaire, then harvested my fishpond, invited my employees for questioning behind my back, frustrated me and tried to assassinate me. The people he tried to use failed and he killed them. One John Audu from Avrugo in Kogi and one Richard Donald, an ACN member, House of assembly candidate in Abia state or so. They were both killed by Adeboye. The former was killed by Adeboye and his US girlfriend. Adeboye used my mother to poison me several times but the poisons were deadened by the CIA.

Up until 2012, if the CIA had emerged to intervene, I would have gone back to RCCG, married and settled there and then killed at a convenient time by Adeboye, my mother with my father and the rest as cheerleaders. That is why you do not barge in to help people as did the Biafrans to the Midwesterners and Westerners in 1967. You need approval from the one who needs the help. 50 Biafran soldiers were killed in a single assault on them by Midwest rebels and their home run was ended at Ore by the Westerners. So you do not barge in to help people. Help carefully.


The CIA waited until I fully understood and I am calling for the heads of the evil people by myself. It will then be right to help. President George Bush and the CIA are too mature to barge in despite that their daughter, Barbara Bush, the number one in the world is waiting and has been waiting since the year 2000.

This is to further clear everything to those who yet do not understand. The CIA has been watching Adeboye and Oyedepo for decades when he played a fraudulently tape of God’s voice to unsuspecting RCCG leaders to become the General Overseer, he then started his immorality which he never left at any time. Character of adults do not change. you are what you are, you only become a clearer version of what you are. Adeboye has always been an immoral buffoon and will die as an immoral buffoon. No matter how tough the stuff you are made up of, you will not be able to hold yourself from intervening as a normal human being with empathy. This is what the CIA did. They could have assassinated them but the malaise would continue as all the church board are in the racket. They are in on it. So nothing short of exposing them will be adequate and then banning religion all together.

Fulani herdsmen kinapped BALOGUN-FULANI. I guess they only wanted to chart with their warrior leader

That is infact just a traditional title of a Yoruba man from Ilorin but he is from the Balogun Fulani compound. It is more of titular because the man is a Yoruba man and will describe himself as a Yoruba man.

Muaadh:
Hmm,guess you just graduated from primary school ryhme to secondary school prose.

The concept of preordainment and predestination lie solely with the scholars of Islam and not just for "ignorants" like you ( pardon my confrontation). It is so wide and needs brighter explanation unlike the fabricated fable of the yoruba dumb-ideology that leaves nothing to be desired of. ¤¤ go learn ¤¤

We Aborisha do not rest on our oars waiting for God like mugus. We are authours of our own destiny. The theology is different from Islam. The zombie theologies of Islam and Christianity have to be banned to save the Earth.
