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.

To Muslims, nothing happens unless it is the will of Allah and before Allah, humans are helpless to effect any change by themselves. Allah has no helpers and no associates, no intermediaries and none should be worshipped except Allah and Allah must be worshipped only according to laid down procedure or dictates of Mohammed his first and last prophet. As bad as all the other Abrahamic prophets were, none tried to force the whole world to adopt their personally conceptualised spiritual procedure, only Mohammed did that. He was the pioneer of that amongst Prophets. The Muslim Allah of Mohammed is the only person who determines destiny.

That is Islam which wants us to think we are helpless. To us as Aborishas we are masters of our destinies, not God, who is Olodumare to us and Allah to Mohammed's parents. His father was named Abdullahi. One thing is that if we maintain the path of righteousness, Olodumare will provide resources for us to achieve our dreams or plans. We agree we live in a matrix but we believe it is fluid and not static. Hence the saying. Bo ni tiri ola o ri bee lo difa fun Babalawo to n difa oroorun which means 'Today is not like tomorrow was Ifa's message for the Babalawo who consults Ifa every five days meaning every week.'. I may turn to a cobra and back to a human being either as part of an entertainment troupe or to observe a ritual. That will be my personal choice using the power of Olodumare not the plan of Olodumare. So unlike Muslims, we Aborishas are not helpless under Allah. I can effect change whether for good or bad. If good, Olodumare will support and if bad, Olodumare will be against it. Olodumare is to us and the irunmales what the US President is to the US.

Final position on July 30 2022

We have plans which we involve in self interested actions to bring to pass but the actual destination or destiny is known and determined only by the Invisible hand which is God as conceptualized by Adam Smith the Scottish philosopher of the eighteenth century but we must always take part in self interested actions without leaving anything to Olodumare(God) from the beginning to the end.

In the 15th century, there would have been as much American Indians as the Chinese. They had advanced civilizations there too, that rivalled and even surpassed in many respects the ones on this side of the Atlantic. Aztec, Maya and etc. There are aqueducts built in South America that supplied drought prone areas with fresh water for drinking bathing, irrigation and etc. A challenge yet to be overcome in many places on Earth nowadays. Access to water is still a problem for many nowadays. Brazil for instance had a minimum of 5 million Indians in the 15th century. Nigeria may have had thesame population back then too but nowadays, American Indians in Brazil are probably not up to a million. The predominant gene in the Americas is European followed by African then native American. The majority of American Indians were wiped off by the diseases like small pox brought by immigrants. Many non Europeans use this fact to advance their argument that Europeans are inhuman or are beasts who prey on non Europeans, wiping them off to take their lands. This position is a very appealing one to a basic mind like the minds of Nigerians who believe the woes of Nigeria are caused by Europeans using their Bretton woods institutions of the IMF and World bank. To those with such a mindset, the fate of the American Indians becomes a validation of their conclusion. Those Nigerians and other Africans see white people as villains and non whites especially Africans who trust them do so at their own peril. They live in dread of white people. I know many of them like that.


However, such a conclusion or reasoning can be easily faulted. It is a result of totally unwarranted fears because only one question demolishes the argument. That question is 'Why did the Europeans not do thesame in South Africa, China, India and Japan? Why? The only answer is that Europeans are afterall human beings like us. They are not a gang of villains. They have bad eggs just like all human groups but they are not villains. If they wiped off the American Indians intentionally, they would have done thesame in South Africa at least, if not India, East Africa, Japan and even China.


All Earthlings should appreciate that contact with aliens from outer space is dangerous! They carry pathogens which they are immune to but that can decimate a city of 25 million Earthlings like Lagos to remain only 200 people and that was what happened to the American Indians after they came into contact with people from across the Atlantic whom they have been disconnected from for thousands of years. Over 40 million died in Peru alone in the 16th century. There are pathogens somewhere in this universe that can wipe off 99 percent of the Earth's population within a few months.


Smallpox had eradicated whole Yoruba cities in the past and it is for no less than this that Sanponna is deified among the Yoruba. There is modern evidence that Lassa fever decimated the population of Yoruba in the past also. A scientific paper was published showing the present Yoruba population is resistant to Lassa fever which is an indication that the present population are descendants of Lassa fever survivors.


Those pathogens periodically descend on Earth as if they are biological attacks from outer space. Black death, plague, small pox and etc had decimated cities in the past all over this side of the Atlantic. Research them.


However, during wars, after American Indian massacres of Europeans and etc there might have been occasions when small pox was intentionally passed to American Indians either by the Spanish, Portuguese, Africans, even later entrants like the English and French but such is to be expected in wars. However, the causal factor was the exposure of American Indians to alien humans from across the ocean. Outer space aliens can do same to us nowadays or us to them.


Africans, Japanese, Chinese, Indians and etc could not be affected by such despite also encountering Europeans for the first time in the 15th century because Europeans were no aliens to us. We were linked by trade. So, whatever pathogen ravaged Europe also ravaged Africa, China, India, Japan and etc at around thesame time. Europeans knew Africa, India, China existed but they had no access to those places. The Ijesa knew the Oyo and Nupe who knew the Malians and Arabs who knew the Andalusians who knew the Germans and the Celts. Europeans knew the Russians and Arabs who knew the Indians and etc. The globe on this side of the Atlantic was thus linked. Columbus headed West to get to India in order to partake of the trade without passing through the 'hawks' on the Eastern route. That led to the discovery of what was named the West Indies. So any disease, innovation and etc got around to all in the past along the trade routes and all benefitted or suffered equally and recovered in due course of time. It happened to the Americas when it was not possibl to restock with Indians. The place was restocked with Africans and Europeans.

Movic1:
Wah Shebi dm say na igbo rich pass! Dm dey tax c'mon Osun people.

Why do you say common Osun people? You think they are poor in Osun? Which towns are in Imo and what economic activities are going on there that surpasses Osun? I grew up in Ilesa Osun state and I have been to Imo, so I know what I am saying.

People who consider themselves opponents of the Yoruba for one reason or the other, who think the balkanization of the Yoruba is to their benefit often say there was no Yoruba nation in West Africa. So let us use facts to make things clear.


Thousands of years ago, the headquarters of West Africa was Ile Ife, not necessarily on the present location but Ile Ife all thesame headed by an Olofin Aiye whose title means the perfect one who rules the Earth. This fact is the reason why ethnic nations of West Africa like the Ijaw and the Ewe in Ghana claim Ife origin. Segi beads manufactured in Ife has been found as far afield as Mali and till today, Ife people still bear Segi names. Segilola, Segilade and etc. There was also a time that Ile Ife was headquartered on Igala land and also on various lands across Nigeria that are still known. That started thousands of years ago, say 10060 years ago. A proof of this is that the present King of Borgu is number 315 on the throne and the Borgu say in their history that they met the Yoruba on the banks of the river Niger when they arrived. Igala having an Ife on Igala land also corroborates the Yoruba account. The most well known Olofin Aye is Oduduwa who came from Mecca, a descendant of Nimrod of Sumeria who was crowned the Olofin in Ife maybe in the 7th century. The present Oba in Ife is number 51 since then while the penultimate dynasty had 90 Obas. That is some nation building that can not be wished away. It can not be wished away. Till today, the Cuban Yorubas venerate the Olofin Aiye as an orisa. The Yoruba in reality are omo Olofin since Oduduwa was an Olofin.


Fast forward a few millenia, the most powerful West African state was Oyo, a Yoruba state bordering the Kanem Bornu to the North and covering Ghana and Togo to border the Ashanti empire. The Oyo once toppled the Ashanti government using forces in Atakpame, the Yoruba enclave in Togo. So only the Oyo as a state surpassed the present Yoruba in extent. Prior to Oyo, the Ijebu may have been greater. Empires rise and fall, A few centuries back, the next most prominent Yoruba state was Benin, a state containing Yoruba, Benin, Ishan, Igbo, Ijaw and etc as subjects but using Yoruba as lingua franca throughout all its extents in Edo, parts of Ondo, parts of Ekiti, Lagos coast, parts of Anambra, parts of Delta, and parts of Rivers. It was very small in extent than Oyo and probably less warlike, also more given to arts. The rest were Ijebu with extents in Lagos and Ogun states, later Egba, then Awori, Ijesa with extents in Ondo, Ekiti and Osun, Igbomina with extents in Osun and Kwara, Ajase in Kwara and Benin republic and many minor city states in Ekiti and Ondo, going to like twent in number. All are Ife successors and all the Yoruba country was ruled by the Ogboni but no Ogboni in Benin. So by language, culture and style of administration, they were one and most were vassal states at one time or the other to the Oyo, Oyo itself was once sacked by the Tapa who occupied their capital for over 80 years, the Oyo took refuge in the Bariba country reinforced and recovered their capital from the Nupe and the next Alaafin was born of a Bariba woman. So it was going on like that until Oyo collapsed, Ilorin, Ibadan, Dahomey, Ijaiye, Ogbomosho emerged and the country later descended into civil war which was ended by the British.

So, no ethnic nationality is more one nation than the Yoruba who are just like the Greek city states of the past to each other. We have lost many of our people who are now Igbos by acculturisation in Anambra, Delta and Rivers state, also in Benin city where they are now Edos. So the population of people left should not be further degraded as not being one by people who believe they have something to gain by doing such. The reason for all that is because the Yoruba were not united in the 19th century. As Yorubas of the 21st century, we should get our acts together and unify our people as a unit of Earthlings as a legacy for coming generations. The first step towards doing that is to exit Nigeria as a group, then propose a merger with our kith and kin in West Africa. The Yoruba are the foremost ethnic nationality in Africa and should be a good example to others.

Yesterday, I was listening to Gov Okorocha when a Channels reporter asked him what he is doing about augmenting IGR in Imo. He said Imo people are poor and it is not right to tax poor people. Now, people are poor all over the world and Nigerians have the advantage of not being in personal debt, so if you as a governor have to wait for oil money allocations to pay the government's bills in a huge state like Imo where close to ten million people live, where at least ten billion naira a day on average is spent, then you have no business being a CEO of anywhere and you should resign as governor. Gov Rochas should resign if he believes Imo state can not be able to generate revenue to pay Imo state's bills. Same goes for most governors in Nigeria


In the US, if 15 dollars is spent in the economy, more than 6 dollars of it is by the government. The US spends more than 60 times the net worth of the wealthiest American every year.


In Nigeria, 50 billion dollars can do what 300 billion dollars can not in New York and people are not too poor to be organised to contribute.

Based on WAEC registration figures in 2014, Abia at 56299 is the SE with highest population, followed by Anambra 51718, Imo 46369, Enugu 46111 and Ebonyi 25436. Akwa Ibom is 58140, Cross River 46586, Rivers 64358, Delta 50760, Edo 64409. Lagos 146564, Oyo 77672 Ogun 70474 Osun 47672 Ondo 38707 Ekiti 22278, Kwara 33645 Kogi 43015. Those figures will be indicative of the relative development of those states.

When you see a huge sprawling city filled with people, bow down and worship that city. So Ibadan is intimidating. Some of the major companies in Nigeria are in Ibadan. Some of the wealthiest Lebanese in the world live in the city, Harry Akande lives there. Agrited Nig ltd the Israeli Agro allied company is there, Zartech is there. Nigerian Brewries, BAT and etc. Most of the biscuit in Nigeria are made there. Only Lagos beats Ibadan. There are companies too numerous to mention. No SE city can be compared to Ibadan and no city has its spread. That view of limitless roofs when passing along Iwo road is without a match in Nigeria. Only Ibadan.


I grew up in Ilesa headquarter of the first successful indigenous company to be listed on the NSE IBPlc. There is a big five star hotel in Ilesa built by the late Captain Haastrup, Concord Hotel. It has hosted many national conferences of huge organisations like ANA and etc because it has all the facilities. Concord is well known. Ilesa is an ICAN center and it is a hub for chartered accountants. There is no machine part that Prof Makanjuola's Makstech can not fabricate for you. Yinka Oba foam is there. A few distilleries. Vegetable oil plants, nail manufacturing. I went to Cappa for a year for pry, then transferred to Osun college staff school, then the legendary Ilesa Grammar school. There will be close to 100 secondary schools in Ilesa. There is Saro Agrochemicals. IBPLc, Olashore International school, Saro Agrochemicals and etc are companies in Ilesa where people relocate from Europe to take up employment in and Ilesa is cheap to live in. There is electricity but yiou need a gen, then you have your pumpong machine or well for potable water. Road network in Ilesa is excellent. Biggest market is Oba Atakunmosa market then other smaller markets. Hausas are plenty in Sabo, Igbos sell new spareparts while the used spareparts market is dominated by Yoruba. We have Urhobos in the countryside doing palm oil production. Other people workj in cocoa, kolanut and coffee production. Most prominent resident was Dr Lawrence Omole of IB Plc who was awarded honorary Doctor of Science Oxford now late. So how does any city in the world beat Ilesa? Let me know.

When people say brown roof, I laugh. Some of the most intimidating real estate in the country are in Ilesa. I mentioned Concord hotel on Ibala road, visitors on the way there always attempt to enter Chief Tosho Obembe's personal estate. Why? Because it can pass for a 5 star hotel. Tosho Obembe owns a massive building that I believe is worth billions of Naira on Osogbo road. It is the most solid building in town. I think 3 or 4 storey built decades ago, Lawrence Omole donated N10 million read 12 million dollars to the College of Education in Ilesa to build a library. That library may be number one in Nigeria in any higher institution. He also built a health center. Again if you want to see personal estates built when money was money, come to Ilesa.


Outside being state capitals, it is doubtful if places like Owerri are better than Ilesa. Infact an Igbo friend, a shoe designer in Ilesa told me Ilesa is bigger than Owerri. The IB Plc FC of old was based in Ilesa and it was Div 1. Ilesa is also a market for Tokunbo vehicles. People come from the East to buy Tokunbo in Ilesa.

You have to consider running water, good roads and electricity stability. a city can be developed and not be an economic center. Yoruba cities do not all have piped water but they all have potable water in form of wells at least. Nowhere has electricity. Some have good road networks, others do not. Osogbo, Ilesa, Calabar, Enugu, Ibadan and etc are better places to live in than Lagos but they do not have the population. PH is one of the worst because of the traffic. In Nigeria, the ranking by economic impoprtance remains Lagos, Ibadan, Kano, PH, Benin and etc. Economic importance means raw value of cities, volume of economic activities and etc.

Since I am not Jesus or Mohammed, guys who were driven by huge egos to the point that they placed a fatwa on the head of anyone that controverts their thesis about God. The former claimed to be son of God and/or God while the latter claimed to be the last prophet of God. The fatwa says unbelievers and those who write new thesis will be burnt in hell by God forever. This caveat, despite the obvious self serving grandstanding has served to keep billions in bondage with a number of them mentally deranged or demented as religious terrorists, zombies and mercenaries.


On the other hand, I am always delighted, even elated when anybody is able to debunk my argument or thesis with a superior argument. I do not threaten debaters with hell fire and I have changed my position a number of time publicly even here on social media deferring with a deep bow to superior reasoning and/or logic. This is like Buddha, like Orunmila but totally an anathema to Jesus and Mohammed. The words of Buddha and Orunmla are not holy as I always tell people. Orunmila and Buddha were seekers of truth and they knew well enough that the search for truth is never closed. No closure to it. Hence the saying 'Join those who seek the truth, doubt who found it'.


So when I started off on social media, my singsong was resource control seeing that it will wean the FG of the easy oil money but when a number of people pointed out to me that it does not help the oil bearing states, I reflected deeply and then changed the song to tax organisation which will depend the success of government on the success of the economy meaning if the economy makes a lot of profit and is growing then there will be a corresponding increase in government revenue. So a government that wants to maintain its income has its job already cut out for it which is to maintain the economy. That became my new song that I have maintained since and I have been waiting since for someone to bring forward a superior argument. It is sad that I have not encountered an argument, a thesis superior to mine but I am still waiting and I am not threatening people with hell fire. No caveats on proponents of new thesis.


That is why I no longer sing the song of fiscal federalism, resource control and etc. No resource control in the UK and Norway. Natural resources are taken by the Federal Government. No fiscal federalism in the United States. They operate a fiscal system that is unitary. The Federal takes the income tax, the bulk of public funds. If 6 trillion dollars in total was raised by all government arms in the United States, close to 4 trillion dollars goes into the Federal account, the Federal distributes to states in much thesame way as is done in Nigeria. Then natural resources like petroleum are not nationalised in the US, they belong to the landowners who liaise with oil exploration companies on their own, pay corporate income tax while their workers pay personal income tax, all to the Federal and tenement rates to the states.


So all the arguments in Nigeria for fiscal federalism and resource control as panaceas fall flat in the face of glaring evidence. Again no fiscal fedralism in the US, No goverment resource control too. Government in the US are just tax collectors. Agbowo ita in Yoruba. They do nothing for profit. In the UK and Norway, oil resources are owned by government. Norway uses a national company to manage oil resources like Nigeria while the UK probably give management contracts to private companies. Both are successful.


So most positions in Nigeria are based on selfish national interests and not on reality based on research. So I added a new position to my thesis 'Delineate the country into ethnic nations with well alligned interests' which means break up the country for peace and development to spread.


Oil bearing communities should bear in mind that only oil wells on their shores belong to them. Oil wells 50 miles offshore belong to nobody. I believe the UN will not concede oil 50 miles offshore to Bayelsa or Ondo if those states stand alone as independent countries. MEND, NDA and etc should take note. Your homeland is nowhere near 50 miles offshore. You are not fishes or whales and the UN will not concede the oil wells that far offshore to you just because you are millitants. Billionaire militant heads with private jets in the midst of millions of their poverty stricken people can not claim to be freedom fighters. No. So they should take note. They are not going to win free offshore oil blocs. The United Nations will not underwrite that once Nigeria breaks up which may be why MEND does not support a break up.


So my position has been upgraded to 'Delineate the country into properly alligned ethnic nations and tax-organise the new states which must be considerably well policed and well militarized'. I am a progressive, I do not believe in marking time on one idea, on one spot endlessly. With me, old ideas are truncated by new ideas. I am not Jesus or Mohammed.

I have been to PH, Omoku in Ogba land and etc and the people there are quick to say they are not Igbos. The Ogba man was vehement about it saying his people are Yoruba who speak Igbo as lingua franca and that does not make them Igbos. The man stayed in Lagos. Our driver attached to us at the Agip gas plant at OB/OB offered his own opinion saying 'We are always saying we are not Igbos, what are we then? We are Igbos. He also stayed in Lagos before relocating home.


The truth in my opinion is that the ancestors of Ikwerres and Ogba people as at 500 years ago were Yoruba people with headquarters in Benin. Not Edo as they say but Yoruba, Benin had components of Igboid, Edoid and Yoruboid. Yoruba was the lingua franca like English is lingua franca in Nigeria today but the country contained native speakers of Edoid and Igboid languages who were subjects. In Ikwerre and Ogba land, the Yoruba were entrenched otherwise they would have been overwhelmed by the Nri Igbos. The Benin empire collapsed same way Rome collapsed and their Yoruba language disappeared. The language remains in Itsekiri. Itsekiri is the most accurate representative of the Benin empire but the headquarter was Benin. Benin has also lost the Yoruba language. So the ancestors of Ikwerre and Ogba were Yoruba from Benin but today they are Igbos who are still Yoruba in societal organisation but Igbo in language. I will say Ikwerre and Ogba should accept their new identity as Igbos while keeping their history of Yoruba Benin origin. Onitsha is no different from Ikwerre. They are also Igbos who were originally Yorubas. Arochukwu too are culturally not Nri Igbos. Maybe only Enugu and Imo are full Nri (I am not sure). Nri Igbos are the original Igbos who owned the language. They were not warlike in the past but now have assimilated people with language.


Onitsha is Yoruba Benin origin while Asaba is Igala origin, both are now Igbo in identity. A large part of Anambra is Igala origin. So it is a mix. Ikwerre and Ogba are no different.

If you believe the Almighty God will burn you in hell for wearing a 666 tatoo then you are on thesame level of intellectual maturity as a Boko Haram member who bombed himself along with other people in a suicide bombing believing 70 virgins are waiting for him in paradise. You are both zombies.

Lemme make something clear to you. Go to the British isles, you have various languages over short distances: They are Celtic languages mutually unintelligible. Come to Nigeria, Edoid languages, Nupoid languages are mutually unintelligible. Totally different languages over a short distance, though related. What it means is that they have lived separately without interaction for thousands of years after starting off together. On the other hand. Yoruboid languages are mutually intelligible, Igboid languages are mutually intelligible. Those two languages are relatively new languages because their dialects are still thesame YEAI Yoruba Edo Akoko Igbo were one in the past but are now different groups. Akoko is the smallest but just as important. Spoken in Ondo and Edo. Mutually unintelligible, then Edoid, mutually unintelligible in Edo, Delta, Bayelsa. Igboid and Yoruboid are mutually intelligible pointing to a recent introduction.


So Semitic languages are many and are very similar like Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic, pointing to a recent introduction. You may want to say they are all Semites but we know that the first important state to use a Semitic language was Phoenicia and they were seafarers travelling all over. So it is reasonable to say the language came from them just like the Romance languages came from Rome. Phoenicia is Canaan is Carthage. So the Phoenicians may have come from anywhere but their hqs were places like Carthage, Tyre and etc. North Africa and Palestine. The people that most represent them today may be the Lebanese. It is their language. Not the language of South Arabia. Sumerian is the language of South Arabian. Arabic just like Hebrew and Aramaic is a descendant of Phoenician that came from South Arabic. Just like French is a descendant of Latin that came from France. France's original language is not French. They speak French because they were conquered by Rome. Representative of Rome today are the Italians. Representative of Phoenicians are the Lebanese but before all those were the Egyptians. Who best represents the Egyptians? I would say the Yoruba people not the present people of Egypt. If a Pharaoh wakes up today, he will communicate more easily with a Yoruboid speaker than with anyone. Though gene wise, it will not be so just like the British are Celts who speak a Germanic language. If they were the only speakers of a Germanic language left with the ancient Germans disappeared, then they will be the closest representative or relative of ancient Germans today. The British are around 30 percent Germanic by DNA

There is a well known Ptahhotep saying rendered in modern letters from the hieroglyphics Bu nfr du bw bn meaning where we loved became an evil place. In Yoruba today, it is Ibi a fe di ibi bi. You dont need too much sense to know that Ptahhotep spoke Yoruba. I think you have heard Fela's song Suegbe Pako? In Ptahhotep's language Sueg means fool as rendered in modern letters. Ika means wicked, Ibudo means dwelling place, lareja means knowledge. So more than half of modeRn Yoruba vocab was used in exactly same way in Egypt 5 thousand years ago. So LOL as much as you want, it means you have abandoned the use of your common sense and that is wrong.


The languages referred to as Semitic languages today are descended from Phoenician whom the Egyptians called Punt. Abraham came from Ur of the Chaldees a Sumerian city. Not debateable and they spoke Sumerian. He can not infact be called a Semite in the modern sense. South Arabia took up that id relatively recently. Do you know the meaning of nomad? It means you are not attached to land, you continue roaming with cattle till you die. That is a nomad. Maiduguri to Jos to Ilorin to Ibadan to Lagos to Calabar to Potiskum to Maiduguri again to Niamey and all over again till you die but Abraham was not like that. Ur of the Chaldees was a bronze age sedentary culture. Abraham's God asked him to exile himself from the place and go to a new land that the God will show him. Abraham believed his God destroyed the Earth with flood while his King Nimrod believed the God who did such must be arrested and executed and Abraham's father Terah worked for Nimrod according to Jewish accounts. On account of this and to protect his life, he left Sumeria and settled in Palestine where he was buried. He was a nomad for a short term but he came from a sedentary culture. His descendants up to Jacob were semi nomadic but not like the Nigerian Fulani. Palestine is a plain good for grazing and they never left the place. They settled in Egypt, a small number of them. 12 brothers and their wives, father, mother and workers, then children. At most 200 people. A small tribe and Egypt was in millions back then. So to think they spoke Sumerian as lingua franca outside their home in that area, so far from Sumeria is not academic in my opinion. All that area used the Egyptian language as lingua franca alongside any other language of theirs and any family speaking Sumerian at all would do so mainly to themselves at home and to visitors from Sumeria. On passing into Egypt and spending ten generations with thousands of Egyptians and etc joining them, they would have become a people speaking an ancient Yoruba language, the language of Egypt. They were Egyptians and Judaism's monotheism is Egyptian in origin not Sumerian where all had Guardian deities like Abraham as did all original Earthlings.


The Exodus still remains a mystery but I believe Egypt aided them to set up the first state of Israel as Persia aided them to set up the second and Britain aided them to set up this current one. That is my reasoning. Canaan was part of the Egyptian empire as at the time in history outside the Bible because there is history outside the Bible. Outside the Bible Canaan is Phoenicia. Persia is the Achaeminid empire and etc. The names in the Bible are Hebrew names.


Due to reasons hard to understand, there were thousands of languages in that area in the past, totally unrelated languages and they were not Semitic languages and the people were not Semitic. They would today be described as pagans. They were awake people. Not followers. Research the language of Sumer from where Abraham came. It was first considered a total isolate but now some researchers say it is an ancestor of Indian Tamil. Tamil is spoken today by over 70 million people in India while Sumerian has been lost to Arabic a Semitic language.


This was the language of South Arabia during Abraham's time

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumerian_language

AjaanaOka:
1. There are an unlimited number of Ancient Egyptian inscriptions and even books. Point to one them that says "Hallelujah" or "Alleluyah". You can't. No one can. Because it is quite simply not an Egyptian word.

2. Yes, I agree that Moses is a shortened version of an Egyptian name. (Scholars have never been quite satisfied with the etymology of 'Moses' offered in the Bible.) It wasn't necessarily 'Tutmoses/Thutmose'. It could have been any of a long list of Egyptian names that end with -mose/moses: Ahmose, Ramose etc. There is a very persuasive argument that a good number of Levite names (Aaron, Miriam, Phinehas, Hophni, etc) have Egyptian etymologies. So yes; the upper echelon of Hebrew society did have some elements of Egyptian influence, but you haven't been able to show what that has to do with 'Alleluia' or 'Hallelujah', since Alleluia does not occur in any Egyptian literature that anybody knows of.

3. Your last sentence is ambiguous. I don't quite get what you are trying to say there. But going back to your point about language. You forget that the Hebrews, after leaving Egypt, spent 40 years in Semitic-speaking Asia, South of Judah. There, they also incorporated a large number of Semitic nomads who had never been in Egypt to begin with. After 40 years, a significant percentage of the Egypt-born Hebrews were probably dead, and that generation had already given way to a new generation of Hebrews born in Asia.

The men who took down the walls of Jericho were therefore most likely to be predominantly Asian-born, and re-Semiticized nomads. They had also already taken up the cult of Yahweh and its rituals from their Semitic brothers in the region south of Judah (i.e., the Midians, Canaanites, etc).

4. In addition to this, there is no reason to assume that the Hebrews lost their Semitic language in Egypt. The Hebrews in Egypt had their own 'tribal' territory and maintained their own insular community (in Goshen, in the Nile Delta) where the essence of their ethnic identity, including their language could have survived, albeit influenced by Egyptian norms. After all, the Olukumi have been an enclave in Aniocha, Delta for hundreds of years and have not lost their tongue.

If you read the link I provided, you would have seen where the authour explained the meaning of Yahweh as meaning mind your business. The example I always use is Germans call themselves Deutschlanders, the French call them Allemagne, the English call them Germans. So what are they? 'They are what they are' ie Yahweh or Jehovah. I hope you get it now? and it is Phoenician language not Egyptian. Yahweh is not a name. It is a Phoenician practice the Jews adopted after settling in Canaan.


I dont know how a people can manage to spend 40 years trekking from Egypt to Palestine. I dont understand that. You can not spend a year to trek from Johannesburg to Cairo. So it remains a mystery but even if they spent 40 years, the records in the Bible does not show them absorbing other people, so it is reasonable to say they retained their language. Then the language Abraham spoke was Sumerian, closest relative is Tamil in India today and it was still used in South Arabia as at 1000AD. Possibly Jacob understood the language but definitely as a language used at home and not for business, on moving to Egypt, it would have been lost within 50 years as the Hebrews worked for the Egyptians and were physically thesame as them since Moses was able to pass for an Egyptian. You can not compare them to Olukunmis who are sovereign on their own land and were not servants to others or colonised by others. The Hebrews were under the Egyptians, all of them worked for Egyptians everyday and it is safe to assume they used thesame lingua franca. Sumerian would have been lost. There were many languages in the area but Egypt which spoke an ancient Yoruba language was the US of the area back then and their language would have dominated. It was later replaced by the language of the Phoenicians whom the Egyptians called Punt but that was centuries after the Hebrews settled in Canaan which was historically part of Egypt as at the time. My own theory is that the Hebrews were expelled from Egypt in a way but given that place to settle under Egypt's protection as compensation.

AjaanaOka:
Also, I do not know how you arrived at the conclusion that Yahweh is Phoenician in origin. The best theory right now is that Moses learnt of Yahweh from the Midianites or Kenites (whom evidence suggests were the original worshippers of Yahweh), and then introduced the god to the Hebrews. So that, by the time the Hebrews stood before the walls of Jericho, they already knew and worshipped Yahweh, thanks to Moses.

There is zero evidence for Phoenicians worshipping Yahweh. If you happen to have any, produce it.

Hallelujah (what we now spell as Alleluia) is quite easily broken down into it's component-words:

Hallel: praise in song/praise through song

Jah : pronounced Yah (Jahveh/Yahweh/God).

Hallelujah: Praise God (through songs)

If people were coming from Egypt after spending centuries there, then they would have been speaking Egyptian. That is why Alleluyah definitely is Egyptian in origin. Moses is an Egyptian name same as Tutmoses. Yahweh is not a name but a Canaanite terminology to hide a deity's name. That is a Canaanite and not Egyptian in origin

As a contribution to the thread above, I made the following comment.



One thing is that the Yoruba came from Ile Ife or Ife. Maybe the original Ife is in Asia, Europe or South America may be debatable but it is Ife. We have spoken many languages in the past, the penultimate ones being Akokoid languages still in Ondo and Northern Edo stateS. The language we now speak is of Egyptian origin adopted the way we are now adopting English, maybe 2 to 3 thousand years ago. Ptahhotep the most ancient recorded philosopher with a published work used that language. I will say a large number of Egyptians relocated back to where they consider home 2 to 3 thousand years ago and we adopted their language same way the Spanish, the French, Italian, Portuguese adopted Romance languages and Britain adopted a Germanic language. The exact same way. The early Jews were Egyptians. Moses, David, Miriam were Egyptian origin names and the ancient Jews spoke an ancient form of Yoruba language before adopting Phoenician which is the ancestor of Hebrew, Arabic and etc.


Alleluya obviously means same as Eriwoya which as someone pointed out, means 'Get out of the way if you are not an intiate!' Aya gbo Aya to Aya je means Anyone that gets out of the way will grow old, will grow right and will get answers. Alleluya, I believe is a variation of it learnt by the Hebrews in Kemitic Egypt and it was said in order to bring down the wall of Jericho or enter the town in exactly thesame way as the Ogboni would say it today. Ya means fall, give way or divide even in modern Yoruba. Some try to say the Ya in Alleluya means Yahweh but I do not believe that as Yahweh is from the Phoenician culture, meaning 'I am what I am' (used to shut up strangers asking the Phoenicians the name of their God) and the Jews were still Kemitic Egyptians as at the time they took Jericho.


Eriwoya is the Ogboni cry. Ogboni belongs to Obatala. Oba patapata lode Iranje! Iba o! I will posit that when the irunmales landed on Earth, Obatala was the first Olu Awo while Ogun Laakaye was the first Olu of Ife or Olofin Aye. The Ogboni was the only political party in Yoruba domains. A monarchy can not succeed without the Ogboni. The US is successful because the CIA operates like the Ogboni. The rule of the Ogboni. 'Igba omo ile ki e gbo o. Eni ba se ka ko ma lao, irinwo omo ile ki e gbo o, eni ba se ka ko mo la. Gbogbo omo ile ki e gbo o. E ma ma se ka ki e le la o. In an Ogboni assembly, if any resolution is unfair to anybody anywhere on Earth it will be rejected. So the Ogboni and the Eriwoya cry is as old as government in Yoruba land and Ife Ooyelagbo was inaugurated 10060 years ago as the first on Earth after Ife Oodaye was destroyed. Israel was inaugurated maybe around 4000 years ago by Egyptian monotheists who spoke an ancient Yoruba language hence the similarities in Eriwoya and Alleluyah as victory cries or sounds made when entering a city , Peter and Apata meaning rock. Daodu as David, Moremi as Miriam. I will say all were derived from Egypt and the Ife people later adopted an Egyptian language. That is where it ends. Judaism is descended from Pharaoh Akhenaten's religion in Kemitic Egypt that was banned after his demise. The Yoruba adopted the Kemitic Egyptian language 2 to 3 thousand years ago, hence the overlap. Our old language was Akokoid. Ife Ooyelagbo was in existence over 5 thousand years before Egypt and over 6000 years before Israel.

To buttress the position of those who offered the meaning of Eriwoya, I will add a saying 'Ile je irin ma je oje. Oje di Eriwo'
.
All Ogboni are omo ile ie children of the Earth. Iba ile o! Ile otete Langbua! Aterere kari aye. tooto. Je a gbo, Je a to. Ase. The Earth is the mother of all. Our Iya and we are all going to end up in its belly. We are Omo iya. So the Ogboni call themselves Omo ile or Omo iya. Everything rots when buried but Oje does not. Oje is lead. Iron rots, humans rots but Oje does not hence the saying 'Ile je irin ma joje. Oje di eriwo'. Which is saying that ile does not eat Oje and that Oje is Eriwo which is distinct from Omo ile. Oje represents the uninitiated who are not Omo ile. Oje di Eriwo. I think that seals the meaning of Eriwoya the Ogboni cry.

Ancient Egyptian as a Yorubic language.


http://obamaandpeace..com/2010/03/oduduwa-and-yoruba-revolution-in-world.html

Odo does not always mean river. It is also used to describe a settlement of lower elevation above sea level. Esa odo is lower above sea level than Esa oke which is higher and wherever you see Ado odo, it means the settlement is lower in elevation above sea level than an adjacent settlement. Ijebu ode is prominent as in ode while Ijebu Igbo is in the countryside ie Igbo. Odi mean wall. So Mo nlo sehin odi means I am going behind the city walls. Mo nlo sode means I am going into the city or town and etc All ancient Yoruba cities were walled cities.


Ado (reh mih) means we settled here and was used to refer to human settlements. Ado (doh mih) is used to refer to Benin, it also means talisman as represented in the saying Atakoro wonu ado ko le mu omo e dani'. A magician who can vanish inside a talisman can not take his whole family along. Edo (doh mih) I think is the Benin rendition of Ado and is used there not in Yoruba land. The Alawiye family in Ipetu Ijesa my maternal grandma's family are saluted as Omo onile lAdo. They came from the old Benin, the one that spoke Yoruba.

To buttress the position of those who offered the meaning of Eriwoya, I will add a saying 'Ile je irin ma je oje. Oje di Eriwo'.

says d chief of all those under demonic oppression birds of the same feathers flock 2geda anyway u fynd in others wt u see in urself u jst believe wt u want to believe irrespective of it being true or false its really terrible coming frm u

Would you say Buddhists, Hindus, Aborisha and etc are demon possessed like Christians and Muslims. Hmmmmm. That would be wrong simply because they are not spreading dumb and moronic tales and threatening people who take it with a pinch of salt with hell fire. I dont do that neither do I hate and kill people over God. I am an Aborisha not a demon possessed Christian or Muslim.

There are child soldiers and we have female soldiers as well. So that statement of your role model to the zombies committing genocide for him betrays him clearly as an idiot.

It is not easy to make a man see that he is under demonic oppression by following Islam. Make research. Read various accounts. Dont leave yourself open to brainwash. A well informed person will no doubt abandon Islam.

Muslims are always condemning the activities of ISIS and Boko Haram, saying such is not permitted in Islam when it is an open secret that Mohammed fought wars with polytheists, raped their women and pillaged their towns. They quickly say it was in self defense when we all know original Earth people following the true God have no reason to attack anyone over God. It is time the people with any semblance of common sense among Muslims accept that Mohammed was a war monger. Period. He was totally no different from, maybe worse than Shekau and Al Baghdadi of Boko Haram and ISIS respectively. Before Abrahamic religions, there were no fights over God. So Muslims should for God's sake stop saying Mohammed fought wars of self defense. No he did not, just like Boko Haram and ISIS are not fighting wars of self defense today. Even moreso.

According to the account of Shiites, Mohammed was poisoned by his child bride cum slave Aisha, I would do thesame if I were a slave of an evil person posturing to people as holy. Mohammed was also a nymphomaniac cum rapist. He killed a man and raped the wife immediately.

So Mohammed in reality was nothing more than a mad man on the loose. He was not from God.

When the British created Nigeria, it was three regions or states and the Lagos colony which sends an elected Rep to the Western assembly at Ibadan upon the inauguration of that assembly. The Western state, the East and the North. The North had the biggest territory and the most people comprising of the Hausa, the Kanuri, the Yoruba, the Igala, Idoma and many ethnic nations that were independent in the 19th century. The Fulani empire covered most of Hausa land save a few areas where some Habe rulers relocated to start new dynasties but those were far in between. Many Hausa fell into the French held Niger republic, part of the Kanem Bornu also fell to French held Chad. So their people are in those places while they are struggling with strange bed fellows like Igbos, Tiv, Yoruba and etc in Nigeria. This is part of the grudge of Boko Haram. So the North contained Hausas and Nupe in and outside the Fulani empire, then Kanuri in the Kanem Bornu, Yoruba in Ilorin, Jebba, Offa, Okun and etc, then Igala, Ebira, Bariba, Tiv, Idoma, Jukun and etc in their nation states. All of whom were independent and militarized as at the late 19th century. The Fulani empire was the largest and most populous and it was restricted to the majority of Hausa and Nupe lands. Nupe to the South of the Niger maintained independence, all Bariba, North, South of the Niger as well as in Benin republic also maintained independence but the whole place was unified as Northern Nigeria by Britain with the Hausa Fulani as the main group. Since human resources is everything, the North as one, came out tops. The West contained several independent Yoruba nations, Fon, Benin, Ishan, Urhobo, Ijaw, Igala, Itsekiri, Isoko and Igbos on the West side of the River Niger. It was an improvement on the efforts of Ibadan to unify the Yoruba, however, a chunk of the Yoruba and Bariba went to the North while the realms of Delta and Edo were added to the majority Yoruba region. The Fon area of Badagry was in the West as it remained an Oyo outpost after the rest of the Fon declared independence from Oyo. Some Yoruba land like Ajase which is Porto Novo also fell to the Fon then the French in Benin republic. The Fon failed in capturing Abeokuta. The East was majority Igbo, they got Efik, Ijaw, Annang and etc as bonus human resources. The main thing was human resources and land and in those, the North led by the Hausa Fulani got the lion share but they did not get all their people in West Africa together. Only the Igbo nearly managed that. The Yoruba controlled West was the smallest of the regions but the Yoruba are the number one ethnic group in Africa by numbers. Nigeria gained independence in 1960 and the Yoruba went into opposition. The new system of government required having an opposition party. In the past, the only party in Yoruba was the Ogboni. The Yoruba controlled West was the smallest region, yet the Igbo controlled East and Hausa Fulani controlled North engineered the breakup of the West via a referendum in 1963 with their NPC/NCNC coalition government. Thus the Midwest was created with the Western state under Chief Akintola embittered. Afterall, no one wants the concern they are managing to reduce, only to increase. Later the North and the East fell out with each other, leading to a coup and a countercoup which saw the Gen Gowon Northern led government splitting all the regions again by decree, save the Midwest. The Eastern minorities jubilated but the Eastern government responded by declaring an independent Republic of Biafra which led to a civil war which they lost. It is my believe that the split of the regions was inevitable, if the West was split, others had to be split too whether by decree or democratically. We must uphold the independence of ethnic nations formed thousands of years ago but nowadays Igbos are still asking for Biafra. In the 16th century. Benin was a Yoruba empire that covered parts of Anambra, Delta, Rivers and if you are a titled person or an indigene in all those places today, then your ancestors were not Igbos as at five hundred years ago. They were Yoruba people whose capital was Benin but due to intermarriages, trade and interraction, you are now Igbos. This is why Igbos have no unified account of origin. Many recently became Igbos a few generations back. So let Igbos take the people they are lucky to have in the South East and South South and forget about Biafra, as Calabar, Efik, Annang, Ijaws and etc are clearly not Igbos. The Yoruba can not claim Igala today despite that they are a Yoruba people complete with an ancient Ife on Igala land but they are now a separate nation. We can only claim our people in Kwara, Kogi, Niger states, then Benin republic and Togo. Not Igalas. No matter how hard Igbos try, non Igbos who dont even speak Igbo can not be turned to Igbos by them easily. You can only ally with them just like you ally with others like Hausas and Yorubas unless they agree to come under the Igbo language sphere.
