bonnyhope:I know you know more than the governor and everyone in Akure from your Achi or Usochi. So if terrorists wanted to bomb Akure, it's empty road. We actually know the difference between our right and our left, we don't need haters to tell us. We're not that emotional like you guys that we'll be putting ourselves under some pains of revenge against innocents. |
Correcto:Try some other threads.. you can check this one to see how some guys are mocking and 'chest-beating': https://www.nairaland.com/5760288/explosion-rocks-akure-houses-school |
destinie2019:However, you're quick to believe your own governor's lies and ipob's propaganda. I have people that have seen the extent of this event on ground; so I should believe you that's in Iswukwato or Orafitte? |
GeneralPula:You guessed right, one was even boasting that until his side produces president... For me, I strongly support president coming from their side but it's not awarded on a platter of gold. We need unity in the South to survive what is coming. However, we're not unity 'beggers,' each region should be able to stand on its own. rejoicing over or praying for calamity in one region is nauseating and pathetic. |
Odingo1:Yes, one of us must definitely wake up from slumbering in tribal perspective, propaganda and inept conspiracy theories. |
MZrapper:However, some Southerners already jubilating about terrorists' bombing S/west..as if they don't have people over there. Now, they'll be disappointed. |
GamalNasser:...but we're all 'beating drum of war,' we should prepare for more of this. The bomb is for boko haram; this is not the first time explosives are being transferred from Lagos to North East through that route, very bad Idea. However, we still don't know whether these explosive materials were non-military stuff. |
For the celebrating Igbo guys, you should read this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/5760527/explosives-been-transferred-storage-facility |
I don't even get time for these ineffectual Bini revisionists. It's an insult to be comparing one of the most populous, most popular, most successful and greatest culture and religion people of Africa with an offshoot like Bini, a minority of minorities. Ibadan was a greater power than Bini in all ramifications, not to even mention Ìfẹ or Oyo. Right now I'm watching documentary on Yoruba religions and cultures in the Americas and Carribbean. The white commentator just said, "Yoruba religion is the greatest import from Africa." |
I wish the whole world would hold China responsible for this pandemic. When the world economy collapse, China plans to take over. Most of the infections the world is struggling with were created by humans in the labs and contracted to animals to spread, particularly for economic gains. I believe China has the vaccine/drugs already, which they will later sell to the world; they are selling excess nose masks, gloves, sanitizer, ventilators, respirators, etc. Many American groups have plans to sue China for starting this viral infection. Many viral infections originated from China, for examples: Black death disease ( that wiped out about half of the world population then, particularly Europeans), SARS, Corona, etc. |
Haywhysat:Ekiti was never under Oyo Empire. It was Ibadan that wanted to lord it over Ekiti/Ìjèṣà through Ajeles. This led to Kiriji/Ekiti parapọ̀ war for 16 years until British intervention. The Pelupelu disagreement has been in existence for decades (a political formation of the British rather than traditional). The Alawe, Oluyin and few other first class Obas were cheated at the beginning and have been protesting this ever since, that any first class Oba should be able to become chairman of their council that has more than 100 Obas. The Pelupelu now has about 22 Obas and it was already gazetted before Fayemi's tenure. Some members like Deji of Akure had also left. |
ghostwon:Just look at this one! You don't see how you gave dates' proof! I can't begin to spamming Nairaland with irrelevant map or telling you about how Ijebus and other Yoruba kingdoms fought British. I told you to go and look for your mates (small territories) to begin measuring kingdoms not great Yorubas'. Boy, we don't care whether your less than 7 LGA and one senatorial district/territory exist or not. |

ghostwon:When you read Bini revisionists distorted palm wine shop's stories, there is nothing for one to do than to laugh. One thing these liers fail to know is that intelligence is not hidden. There is difference between Old Igodomigodo and present Bini. The Igodomigodo started as groups of people from Eastern Ondo state, offshoot of Nupe, Noks, and immigrants from the North Eastern Africa. They moved southward to occupy land being left by the Oru people, who had moved toward the Sea. There were more influx of people from West and North West of their newly settled land. They were being ruled by people referred to as 'Sky gods,' the ogisos. The kingdom was never organized until the last Ogisos. Due to movement of people from Older and larger kingdom of Ìfẹ, Ọwọ, etc, a relationship developed between Ìfẹ and Igodomigodo. I don't need to go into how Oranmiyan gave birth to the present Bini royalty. A lot of people followed him to Bini and decided to settled and helped shape the Kingdom. During Oba periods, Bini became great, more organized and Yorubas' gods, deities, culture were brought in: Umọlẹ from Ekiti, Ayelala from Ìlájé, Olokun from Yorubas (Ijebus, Ikales, Ìlájes) that already settled Ode Itsekiri and Iwerre before Ginuwa arrived and was welcome as their Oba being great grandchild to Oranmiyan. It is foolhardy for someone to be saying Olokun originated from Bini. There is no doubt there are lots of relationship and intermixing between Yorubas and Binis, notwithstanding there are also lots of egos; one of these was unhappiness of Oba of Bini not being among first two Obas in the Western region. His claim was that he was the first child of Oranmiyan who later gave birth to Alaafin and recent rulers in Ìfẹ. It is also very funny and stupid when some revisionists claim Bini owns Ekiti, Ondo and Lagos. First, the Eastern and South Eastern Yorubas (who were not being called Yorubas initially and some even refused until British imposition, although they always see themselves as one people from the Source), viewed Bini as one of them (bounded by the royal family and earlier migrated families to Bini Kingdom). Secondly, Bini is not on the shore of the Atlantic but Itsekiris and Ìlájes took Prince Ado to Lagos. During the great period of the empire, Bini also did what Ibadan later did by trying to bring the Eastern Yorubas under their trading influence in alliance with some Yoruba kingdoms that saw Oba of Bini as one of their own. Can we now say because Ibadan, that imposed "Ajeles" on many other Yoruba territories and kingdoms now make everyone in these places Ibadan people and their lands, Ibadanland? At present, Yorubas are, at least, in 8 states with hundreds of LGAs and some would still be showing their ignorance by saying Yorubas are from 7 Bini LGA, in which Yorubas even made up large part of their inhabitants. 'Bini no dey give birth ni? To me Edo or Bini is dispensable/inessential to Yorubas except those that want to associate with the Yorubas, for instance the 'Olumolẹs, etc. I have never witnessed visible discriminations between Yorubas and Edos as these revisionists always posit. Edos feel at home in the west just as Yorubas feel at home in Edo and old mid-west. Nobody is trying to force Edo into Yoruba. Itsekiris that are closer are not even forced not to talk about several kingdoms and lands that claim Ìfẹ Source in Delta, Edo, West Africa, etc. are not being forced into Yoruba. Igodomigodo people are not Yorubas, although some would still say, few elements among them were from ancient Akoko area. Yorubas are one of the largest groups in Africa with one of the richest culture, Bini is not a rival at all; this irrelevant ego made it so easy for Biafra soldiers being led by Banjo to conquer mid-west in few days. You Igodomigodo revisionists should look toward Afemai, Ebiras, Nupes, Idomas, etc for rivals not Yorubas who are not emotional or care about you, what you think or do. |
countryfive:The above mentioned lawyers are from Ekiti, can you name 3 lawyers from your state that are better than Falana, Afe Babalola and Olanipekun? |
uunwanaobong3:Some of you are still pained that Obi failed to become "houseboy" to Atiku. THE TRUTH ABOUT NIGERIA AND THE CONFUSION WE ARE IN TODAY Who are the real traitors who brought us where we are today ? Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance. Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria; Chief of Army Staff was from SE Chief of Naval Staff was from SE IG of Police was from SE Chief of Defence Staff was from SE Internal Affairs Minister SE External Affairs Minister SE Education Minister South SE Many other key ministries to SE Parliament President SE Unilag VC from SE The University of Ibadan VC from SE North resisted same at ABU! Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!! Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed. Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it! We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts. *What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"* Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. *“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then. Today, he is shouting restructuring that he helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*. WHAT BIAFRANS WILL NEVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE REAL CAUSE OF THEIR WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY: The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation. The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the average Igbo man is fond of narrating. However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position. Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de- amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended. To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country". Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe. But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable. After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned. For those in doubt, here is a link of one of the numerous instances in which Nnamdi Azikiwe fought against the secession clause proposal for the future Nigeria constitution. It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him. Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university graduate is the Binis). As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are some quotes: "From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Nnamdi Azikiwe (1945). "It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma. (1949). Anascopeterson: As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the Southern Protectorate. Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in Nigeria. With that situation the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand in any democratic bargain. But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these areas should fall in the future Eastern Region. But against common sense, the colonial masters decided to gerrymander them into the Northern Region. While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by landmass. Anascopeterson: While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo for his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist. A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy chasing rats in a far away land. Anascopeterson: When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that frustrated the attempts. Here is how: In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti- colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address. But when the D- day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard. Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government. However, the British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for treasonable felony. Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance. On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot. Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint". After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC, and moved over to Awolowo's Action Group. Anascopeterson: The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo army officers. That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years. Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day. In addition to the killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every region except their Eastern Region. In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heroes. This was actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. On the 23rd of February 1966 (i.e. a month and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup, an Ijaw born Army officer called Isaac Adaka Boro who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, declared the secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people from the monumental marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region. But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to the military high command under him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal. Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his previous rank. Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria and without consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic for which he fought against him and killed his soldiers. Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession declaration 15 months earlier. Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of Biafra. But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But from the facts as above, who really betrayed the other in all honesty? Be the judge. Why Gowon fought against Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra was as follows: After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging. Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession, he was reminded of the Anti- secession Decree made by him and his brother Ironsi. Deadly Truth: Igbos frequently reference Aburi Accord to create the impression that the rest of Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos. First and foremost Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle. Secondly, those civil servants and military men in attendance were not elected by their federal constituencies to the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy the only universally acceptable way of making laws is through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi the peoples' representatives duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process. Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the people? Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. Aburi Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have been allowed to stand. Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the Independence constitutional conference. Those representatives all resolved and agreed on federalism marked by regional autonomy and resource control in the Independence Constitution which they brought back home and everyone accepted it. In that constitution, Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power. It was also clearly stated in it that ammendments to it could be done by only democratically elected representatives. That constitution was the first ever agreement between all Nigerians. On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence constitution regardless of the circumstances that may later arise. But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees, and ended up dismantling the federalism and resource control therein, and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. That was the height of Irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement. That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements. So Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence constitution agreement. Anascopeterson: Obasanjo removed history from the school curriculum hence the reason why many of what we know of the eventualities in Biafra war were altered to suite their narratives. |
Ilorin is about 6th in land mass. |
IMASTEX:Auto body painting is another option. |
LosC:The same tribal girl is eating okpa cooked in nylon right now. |
ityP:Nigerian constitution; which mainly tailored after British and American constitution. A DNA test at the worst scenario and the father takes his child if he is capable. Nigerian Constitution supercedes customary laws. One customary law does not supercede another in Nigeria as Chioma people are claiming. |
Juliusmalema:You talk as if Yorubas have no tradition where the man owns the child whether he marries the woman or not. What you opined can only happen if they are both Igbo couple. This is a clash of traditions and anyone inheriting Yoruba child is signing up his death penalty; David already said that! |
[quote author=Trustmeall post=86859921][/quote]Yeah, I did adjustments to the dish and all the channels on 42° are now working, although I attached it on Multi TV that also has Volta tv channels. Thanks. |
The court is very very wrong; if Audu's deputy in Kogi state then, Mr Faleke has no influence or benefits on the votes given to him and his principal. He was replaced with Bello and new deputy, He went to court and lost; why did the same court sack elected governor because of deputy's name change which there is no evidence he even forged his certificates. This is simply an emotional judgement by the court with no legal backup. |
mbos:Edo and Delta in old Eastern Region...? There is nothing one will not read on Nairaland. That we have Oba of Ogbaland in Rivers and Ìfẹ in Igalaland and Igala language almost 70% intelligible with Yoruba do not make these people Yorubas. Just as Igala language is Yoruboid and the people are not Yorubas, Ikwere language is igboid and they are not Igbos; same thing applies to Ika and others in Delta and Rivers who claim Bini origin but using igboid language. |
[quote author=lamtam post=86843939][/quote]Thanks, I will try.... |
Trustmeall:For more than one week now, I'm only getting Taraba TV, SBN & Turkey News Channel in Enugu. I have made adjustments several times and connected directly from Lnb to decoder, without any joined cable, yet I only got above mentioned stations. I use Srt 4922A |
dhestiney:The funny thing is that the same court refused Faleke, a deputy who won election with Audu, recognition in Kogi Elections then, but supported party supremacy. |
Faleke as deputy to Audu in Kogi state election was not even recognised by the same court but party. |
press9jatv:Can you please explain the law better because in Kogi state then, the same court failed to recognise Audu's deputy, Faleke. Faleke was allowed to be removed by APC and replaced with Bello and new deputy. In that the deputy governor was not recognised at all but party. Supreme court has simply destroyed our democracy. minorities now carried the day with what we've seen in some states. majority votes no longer count. |
gregyboy:A man without eye, understanding or wisdom knows that it's not possible for people in more than 150 LGAs and in about 9 states, also in about 6 other countries to come out from people with less than 7 LGAs, no matter how strong you people have refused to give birth or engaged in family planning. Igodomigodo rather came out from Eastern Ondo state, one of the Yoruba's state with 18 LGAs. Continue wailing on every thread bro, Bini is nothing to Yoruba except her ruling house. Everything from your Oba, Aiyelala, Ogun, Umole and other culture, religion, traditions and many names of persons and things are Yorubas! |
The earlier the 'single man association' is arrested in any way, the better. |
GamalNasser:Some of you are very very unpatriotic and just funny. That you hate Buhari coupled with his poor performance in some aspects doesn't give support for this ban. India has had some bad leaders recently but they were not banned; most terrorism on US soil were carried out by citizens of Saudi Arabia but they were not banned. Some of you celebrating Trump need to visit other countries and see how they value their own. Iran and Iraq people have issues with their leadership but rallied together to protest against what they see as foreign aggression. Do you think most people that travel to US are Buhari's people? He will leave that position less than 4 year but the nation will continue until we're ready to put an end to it. For now this is our country and we should not accept this racism and insult just like that; we're not just other country, God has made us African most populous nation. |
if they had succeeded in bringing the APC back to power in balyesa , we will see post like
