CultureRe: Obas Can’t Pick Burial Rites, They Must Submit To Tradition – Olanipekun by LeoThaGreat(m): 4:42pm On Aug 05, 2025
Tunaji:
Perhaps, the learned lawyer did not know what was involved.

Essentially, the incoming oba is made to eat the heart of the deceased oba, and he is asked, " ki lo je", he replies, ' mo j'oba'. Transliteration : "what have you eaten, I ate a king". Real meaning, "what have you become?, 'I became a king'. "

He said it cannibalism ought to be stopped forever.
You people have been warned from intentionally distorting Yoruba history to suit your religious bias but most of you still exhibit ignorance intentionally with much gusto and temerity, or where cannibalism ever been tolerated in Yorubaland at any time in history? Even maltreating one's slave is a great crime in Yorubaland.

If we are playing football for example and people say "Boolu yen je irin" would it, according to your idiotic translation mean "The ball ate the iron", or "The ball hit the post" which is the true and correct translation ?

Yoruba ni Eni ba fe je ogun kogun, a pa itan kitan (A person who wants to inherit what they are not entitled to will tell distatasteful lies)

Bi iro ba lo ni ogun odun, ojo kan ni otito maa ba.

Asiko otito lo dele yii o, eyin opuro

If we say "Tinubu je aare Naijeria", does that mean Tinubu has eaten Nigeria's president?

Eyin omo irankiran yii
PoliticsRe: Yoruba Crown Oba In Awka Anambra by LeoThaGreat(m):
Any Oba position that wasn't crowned or elevated to become an Oba by another Oba in Yorubaland and beyond is either a political Oba or null and void, and the later should be prosecuted for misrepresentation by false pretenses.

Examples of Oba elevation:
Oluwo, Ataoja & Soun from under Oloyo/Alaafin
Ayangburen & Adeboruwa from under Akarigbo

Ibori and tinubu seem very close. Probably the closest from the class of '99.

Odili of Rivers
Ibori of Delta,
Tinubu of Lagos
and I think Alameseigha of Bayelsa

Were so close that the their states were one of the biggest investors in Econet back then. It turned out to be a very profitable investment for them all. Those guys were brilliant financially

I think it was Ibori that made Strive Masiyiwa sell Econet's license to V-Mobile and leave Nigeria from constant extortion

FamilyRe: My Wife Left Home Since August 2024 by LeoThaGreat(m): 9:43am On Mar 26, 2025
You don't need a soothsayer to tell you your marriage is over, judging by your wife and her family' actions.

You can only act now to avoid future regrets. By "act now", I mean
1. Get your kids back under you care and watch over them or
2. Kiss them goodbye forever and get tagged a deadbeat dad by your kids and strangers on the internet who have no idea on what happened, especially when any of your kids make it in life.

The sooner you detach emotions and use logic, the better it is for you because that woman isn't coming back.


If you are too busy to look after your kids, take them to your parents if they are still alive or register them in after school care program or lesson till you com back from work. Make sure to make arrangements on what they will eat either by giving someone money to feed them or get some lady/woman in your neighbourhood that can act as a non-live-in cook (cook and go) or maybe a nanny.

Your kids are your future, and not fighting for them now may end in future regrets. Consider yourself a single father and ask your relatives for guidance. If you ever leave your kids with their mother's relatives, they will soon join their mom in Abuja, and that's it forever. That's a reality no father should have, especially in their old age.

What more can I say?
RomanceRe: I Want To Breakup With My Girl Tonight Because Of This Reason by LeoThaGreat(m): 1:03pm On Feb 24, 2025
You're dating her, but she's passing time with you.

The best thing you can do to yourself now is to have other persons to constantly get involved with. If you don't do this, onetitis will make you continue doing all that's possible to please who you are meant to use, just as she's using you. Get multiple partners bro. Having just one person asides her isn't enough. But if you don't want to do this, cut her off.

If you fall for her charms, blame yourself for the outcome and absolve her of guilt of selfishness
PhonesRe: Should I Give Out My Phone To A Married Woman? by LeoThaGreat(m): 3:14pm On Feb 22, 2025
OP, it seems you don't love yourself. But please don't break the hearts of your family members that have invested in you and love you.

I see no reason why you would insist on friendship with a married woman who her husband has made it obvious that he doesn't want you around her. It seems you have no grasp of what a man can do out of insecurity.

Tell the woman point blank that her husband obviously doesn't want you associating with her and you can't give her your phone so as to avoid trouble.

But if you are a lover of trouble, go ahead then. I love learning from people that learnt the hard way.

PropertiesRe: Fire Guts Seven-Storey Commercial Building In Lagos by LeoThaGreat(m): 8:18am On Feb 14, 2025
Nigerian media are the major mind engineers of the negative mindset of people about their country.

Headline could've easily read "Lagos Fire Service puts out fire at A.G Leventis building in Iddo" to highlight the true story that happened, instead The Nation newspaper used a headline that made it seem the seven story building was razed down.

Other countries will hail their firemen because of mind engineering, Nigerians will despise theirs
RomanceRe: Was I Wrong To Abandon My Pregnant Girlfriend? by LeoThaGreat(m): 11:41am On Feb 10, 2025
The dude you heard his voice in the background before she hung up the call and refused to pick up your calls afterwards is (one of) her other boyfriend(s). She didn't pick because she doesn't want you to ruin her other beautiful relationship (with the potential father to her unborn child).

He may also be responsible for the pregnancy, but she has chosen you as (one of) the fall guy(s), the chosen mumu who will take responsibility of the result of her philandering.

If you accept this one, then there's more to come.

DNA test isn't cheap, so pay no attention to anyone who isn't mentioning an affordable way for you to know the child's paternity
EventsMy Review Of Artists Performance At Greater Lagos Countdown 2025 At TBS by LeoThaGreat(op):
Lagos State Government has been ushering its residents into the new year with free music concerts featuring various successful and upcoming artists at various locations in the state.

This year, I was at Tafawa Balewa Square, Onikan which was where the biggest music stars were expected.

Here's my review of artists performance at the #GreaterLagosCountdown2025 at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) from the best to the least

1. BURNA BOY:
He had the best performance of the night by "single-handedly" entertaining the audience the most. Asides the fact that most people in the audience knew his lyrics word for word, his songs had no dull moment. His DJ was in sync with him too. The songs were carefully selected and gave no chance for ones mind to wander off for a second. Bringing Phyno as a surprise was well thought out! Most people present were there to see him

2. DR. ADEWALE AYUBA:
His performance looked so easy but it exhudes perfection from meticulous practice. His àlùjò was so infectious. My favourite of the songs he performed was Raise Tha Roof/Bubbling.
I didn't rate him as number because he didn't perform "alone", his sonorous live band added light to his performance.

3. NINIOLA:
The Queen of AfroHouse 😍 This lady can sing and dance o! Her performance looked humanly impossible because of how well she handled her voice control even as she sang and danced energetically at the same time. Her dancers were professionals who added more highlight to her performance. They twist, turns and stunts shows how hard they must have been practicing. Nini brought different fans on stage, and it made her performance even more interesting.

4. ADEKUNLE GOLD:
It's my first time seeing him perform and bruh didn't disappoint one bit. He's not much of dancer so he focused on what he can do which was sing. He used the spaces on the stage well! His choice of songs were well chosen as the crowd related well and were entertained. His performance songs were well edited to mimic a live band (which I believe he'd have loved to perform with).

5. SEYI VIBES:
He didn't even need to sing. Many people present were there just to see him LIVE. This bruh must be shocked at how much love he gets from his fans. They weren't his fans for no reason as his songs gave them joy, so much that they sang every song word for word. His dance steps had the crowd raving. He was smoking what looked like a vape, it can't be weed na, and that excited some boys who kept cheering him. Though the Commisioner for Toursim, Arts and Culture, Mrs Toke Benson-Awoyinka had to caution him. He disappointed most of his fans by not performing 'Oblee' the official theme song for Detty December in Lagos in 2024

6. WIZKID:
I overheard a fan who was in a choked part of the front close to the stage say he'll rather die of thirst than go get water when Baba Bolu is performing. His performance was like that of god. His aura was that of a super duper star, and his performance was the major highlight of the night for numbers of people in the audience. It was a genius for him to perform both new and old songs of his. Some people left as soon as he got off the stage.

7. KENNYBLAQ:
He was invited as a comedian, but his comedy was musical, hence why I'm adding him to this list. He exhudes perfection from practice, especially his voice which sounded as if it was autotuned. He had no flaws or mistakes as he sang his cover version of different songs to the beat from the DJ. He also interacted with members of the audience to highlight his comedy.

8. OLAMIDE:
Numerous people lost their voice from screaming when he came up on stage few minutes past 12 midnight. I'm sure he felt at home with the way the crowd raved for him and sang his songs word for word, both the new and old songs he performed.

9. LOUD CHOIR:
Just like Kenny Blaq the sang their cover versions of different popular songs. Their voices and use of stage by switching positions showed how much efforts they put into their craft. It could've been nicer if their costumes were uniform, not just in colours.

10. LOJAY:
He had a good time performing, though he could've enjoyed it better if the fans were closer to the stage at the time of his performance as the barricade was far from the stage then that he had to voice out. The vibes was there from the crowd as he sang few songs that had them dancing.

11. 9ICE:
Adigigun alapomeji still have people rocking to songs he released in 2009 like it was last year because Party Rider is a jam! His recent songs like Living Things, Loke Loke ft. Sean Tizzle had the crowd on choke hold like he was having a divine moment. He seemed like someone who is lacking zest for stage performance though.


12. TIWA SAVAGE:
Mama JamJam, the Queen of AfroBeats 😇 I understood what super star aura meant when she came up on stage. She didn't even had to do anything. The fans love her too much already. Her voice was sonorous and it felt like it wasn't allowed to shine better because of the kind of jams she performed. Her dance steps too had the crowd looking like they're seeing dazzling diamonds for the first time. If she had touched anyone in the crowd during her performance, the person might have fainted from adrenaline rush. Tiwa is a super star abeg!

14. RUN TOWN:
Mr. Agu hasn't performed in Lagos in a long while and it was as if he hasn't performed anywhere in years. Fans were happy to see him, he was brought as a surprise act, but he didn't steal the show. He sang some songs which made the crowd dull, the ones that had the fans jamming were ones they danced mindlessly to as if he wasn't there. He has to hire a tutor or study stage performance again because he's underutilizing himself and I now understand greviances of some of his fans.

15. BUJU BNXN:
He under delivered in his performance unfortunately, and that's bad. He had everything but barely used any. The voice, the aura, songs, it wasn't nice. It was like someone in retirement being called to come perform and I've seen late Raskimono and Daddy Showkey perform better on stage. He need to put more effort into his stage performance. He threw money into the crowd but that wasn't why most people were there.

Unfortunately, Qing Madi performed before I came, so I can't rate her performance based on recorded videos I saw or hearsay.

Phyno was brought on by Burna Boy, I normally shouldn't talk about his performance, but he delivered 100%

Were you at the event or watched it on TV?

What do you think about their performance?

Nairaland GeneralWhat Has Been Your Experience Since You Ported From A Network To Another? by LeoThaGreat(op): 6:21pm On Dec 19, 2024
I'm thinking about porting my line and I need inputs from people that have done this before.

What has been your experience so far?

Do you experience issues normal users of your new service provider don't experience?


My main line is an indigenous Nigerian telecom and since the time it became indigenous, their network has been bad all over Nigeria. Some days, I won't have network reception, yet I live in metropolitan Lagos where all service providers should have top notch service.

I'm tired of being loyal to the brand and losing customers as a consequence
