BabaRamota1980:
The only language Trump will understand is the one spoken in dollar. This policy has to be quantified and then expressed as a dollar value for him to get it.

For instance, what is the total number of visa applications of all categories to the US Embassy and how much revenue is Nigeria contributing to State Dept through visa applications? What ever that numbrr is, rank it with all countries that apply to US and see where we are.

Next, of all thr applicants, what is approval rate for Nigerians?

This is money going to US govt from Nigeria.

Now, think of money coming into Nigeria from US. All the remittance companies used to send money to Nigeria are foreign owned, like western unioon and moneygram. The companies should disclose their total remittance a year and tell us what ratio of that is attributed to Nigerians.

Imagine if we boycott visa application from Nigeria and also boycott US remittance companies. That net blockage will have significant impact. In fact western union and moneygram will immediately send lobbyists and lawyers to US Congress to seek exclusion of Nigeria from this yeye ban.
In addition, everything about our foreign, economic, military policies, etc. should shift towards Russia, China and Europe. We should build common grounds with India, Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey and other emerging powers.

Even if I hate Nigeria, I can't just imagine some of us celebrating this ban. Trump is acting as racist banning 4 African countries, and the Black Americans seem like cowards.
PoliticsRe: . by lx3as(m):
This is a great insult to Nigeria and Black world. As African most populous nation, we're in the same context with India, China, Russia, etc. In about 70 years time, we're projected to be the third most populous nation in the world after China and India. Trump only belittled and disgraced us before committee of nations; I hope our government will also take some measure of ban against Americans.
Wish our nonchalant and inept leaders got balls to retaliate in any form.

They are too many. The truth is most of them are from the poor north. The northern leaders have handled human development very poorly. The result has been high unemployment and the south always receives the impact in cases like this. Same here in Ibadan. There are just too many of them. All these recent actions always seem like the north is the target. The reason is simply because they are usually the ones causing it. No fault of the unemployed. They want to work. Same argument on Amotekun.

This is all the restructuring we are talking about. Let regions know they have problems across board including education so they wake up. The south has turned to a dumping ground for northern failures.

Sanusi Lamido has said it in many words. We cannot continue like this. The system will surely collapse.
.
This is the problem with the South West; we allow others to dictate the tune. You can't find okada in all the states capital cities and major towns of South East and South South including major commercial areas like Onitsha, Nnewi; so also Kano, Abuja, Jos, etc. not even keke in Owerri.
Why the noise about Lagos?
.
We should learn to create other jobs for our people in agriculture not riding okada. The population of okada and northern or foreign riders in major cities of SW and Ilorin is baffling. It's a time-bomb because the rates these guys give birth and send them down to do all sorts of things are not controllable.

cbrass:
I don't think anyone has ever argued that Oduduwa is Okanbi. The history of the Yoruba is something that has been bastardized with lies for selfish reasons and Conspiracies on the part of warring towns of that time. There we're some things I believed about the Yorubas until I started to hear some real truth. See there are some histories that have been kept so as to avoid chaos between present day towns in Yoruba land. Ile-Ife have the truth about history of Yorubas but they deliberately dish out lies. Except you can come up with facts that Ogun lakaye was not a human and a god and Sango too....
Maybe you should reread again. I didn't say Oduduwa was Okanbi but trying to let you know that others also took the name Oduduwa after the first one just as Okanbi might be called Ogun after the first One....

Ọwọ is very ancient than Bini; most cultures/religions you get in Bini today were from Ọwọ and Ugbo(Ilaje). Ugodomigodo was quite different from present Bini. Maybe you need to see Ọbalùfọ̀n with lots of beats...

Those arguing on Oduduwa or Okanbi being Ogun; There were Original Ogun, Oduduwa, Sango, Oranmiyan. However, many great people beared these names after them; people are still bearing Ogun, etc. till today. Okanbi as Ogun or Sango as Oyo king were different from the first Ogun or Sango, Obatala's contemporaries
CultureRe: What Is The Origin Of The "Yellow Skin" In Most Igbos? by lx3as(m): 5:45pm On Dec 18, 2019
Original Africans are not dark in complexion, for example, pygmies, Khoisans, the Bushmen. The people that came to Africa from Mesopotamia and other Middle East got darker than them. Many people referred to as Igbos now(most Abians) had their origin from these ancient Africans. We need to study the physique and language sounds of Bushmen and the south-east Asians/Pacific people like Indonesians to understand that there is something common between Efik's groups, pygmies, Khoisans, even to some extent, some Cameroon people and igbos and Indonesians (although Igbo language is now in kwa group just like Yoruba).
NYSCRe: My Service Year In Anambra - Corper Peter Omoniyi Gidado by lx3as(m):
jojothaiv:
GIDADO na confirm HAUSA name but I've come across Yorubas bearing such names particularly SANUSI etal...
Actually, Ekitis had contact with Fulanis and Muslims from Ilorin before the coming of Christianity into their environ; many of them got converted and bear northern and Muslim names up till this day. There are lots of Sanusi, Sanni, etc. to some extent Gidado and such in Ekiti; although they are mainly christians now.

It can also mean 'Igi da Odo' - wood across stream'; a proverbial meaning of someone who elevates, safes or makes breakthrough for others/family.

Pa Chucks, has any of your permutations comes to light? Where are your Sarakis, Fayose, Onnoghen, Dino will soon join the group of Exs grin grin
I still don't know how these people reason... How will a party, APC, zone it's president to a region that will not vote for the candidate but for opposition, PDP? No party will take that path and choose to lose out willingly. If SE wants to continue to play 'houseboy' (what they accused Osinbajo for) to Hausa/Fulani, that's their cup of tea. This will never stop other groups in the South from vying for the highest position in the country, because they've got leaders, real heart and ambition; they're not subservient individuals. I, myself can contest for this position without fear or wailing for sympathy.

It's only real cowards that will be so afraid of contesting with his enemy out of fear of losing out but backing an enemy of their existence to spite a lesser enemy.

Real leaders will go for power regardless of circumstances; power is taken not given. Hence my respect for Awolowo, Ojukwu, Muritala, Abiola, Buhari, Tinubu, etc

Beosten:
Yes. To beautify women in those days, osun is usually used. But a bird known as Aluko has the color of osùn
If it's the meaning of the name you so cherish, then these are cool for female: Ọnà (if you're from Ekiti or Ìjèsà; that's where Aluko, a male surname, is popular; Ọnà [Ẹwà] means beauty or what one uses to beautify) and Ọ̀sẹwà or Ṣewa. Better still, Àlàkẹ́ is a beautiful female name also.

There was a time a friend wanted to name his daughter 'Àrẹ'; when people around started saying it's for male, he changed it to 'Areola' and the name is so perfect for the girl.

This stuff you wrote above made me quote you.

You don't assume authority over issue you are not versed. I wonder if you speak or even understand any central Yoruba dialects (Ifẹ, Ìjèsà, Ekiti & Igbomina) or South Eastern Yoruba dialects ( Ọwọ, Akoko, Ijebu, Ondo, Ikale, Ìlájé, etc.)
CultureRe: Is Adesuwa A Benin Name? by lx3as(m):

The op's context is Benin versus Esan, not Yoruba.
Is Itsekiri not Yoruboid language? What's the difference between 'Omotsola and Omosola or Omawumi and Omowumi'? I have two friends from the same community in Ekiti that have surnames: Ogunkuade and Ogunkọrọde (same meaning); there are another people with same meanings: Osakuade and Osakọrọde (Orisa has brought wealth); Adeluyi and Adeniyi, etc.
What you can argue is that, the 'w' in Adesuwa is most time silent in Yoruba's (Adesua). You can ask people in Eastern Yoruba states the meaning of names like "Olumilua" and several samples I already mentioned above. In Eastern Yoruba, 'owo - money' is 'egho, pronounced 'eo or eho'; when Itsekiri would say: mini/meni, meji; Ekiti would say: ini, eji; proper Yoruba: ookan, eeji. Uyọ̀̀(Ilaje), Ọyọ̀(Ekiti)̀=Ayọ̀ (the joy I have = uyọ meyọ/mẹyọ, ọyọ̀ meyọ/mọyọ = ayọ moyọ)̀. Adesuwa is a Bini name but it is also an Eastern Yoruba name. It's hard to find someone from Oyo state for example, having names like, Adesuwa, Osasọna, Adesọna (Ekiti/ Ondo states); what you'll have them bearing are Adesọrọ/Adesẹyẹ Oluwasewa/Olusewa, Adesewa. The Eastern and central Yoruba dialects respectively are older and deeper than the North Western Yoruba dialects; 'Ọnà and Okun' are deeper than 'ẹwà and pẹlẹ' (beauty and sorry).
CultureRe: Is Adesuwa A Benin Name? by lx3as(m):
tohyorsih2:
It's a benin name
It means "i am surrounded by wealth"
In Ekiti it means, 'She has come to wealth, come to make wealth or crown makes wealth, also a celebrity...

'Uwa, Ua (Ekiti and some others leaves out 'w') mean 'wealth' or to celebrate, being celebrated, just as 'Uyi' means 'fame or prestige' but in central Yoruba 'Iwa & Uwa in C/E Yoruba' can also mean 'Character' while 'Ọrọ'̀ is 'wealth'; 'Uyi' is 'Iyi'; Adesua/Adesuwa in C/E Yoruba=Adeṣẹyẹ in proper Yoruba.

Adesuwa is a Bini name, you can give your child but it's a name people bear across Edo, Ekiti, Ondo states and to some extent among Ìjèsà and Ife in Osun State. Just like names with predix like Osa, Ogun, Aideyan, etc and those with sufix like Uwa, Ua (Adesuwa, Adesua, Akinlua, Adelua, Ademilua), Uyi (Ademiluyi, Suyi, etc).

omenka:
This is nonsense.

In 1999, parties were just being formed and had yet to take roots in regions. It was their first time to test the waters back then. After the election, it became clear which regions were leaning towards what parties.

The South West became predominantly opposition base while pdp prevailed in other zones.

Now, to the south East. They've never hidden their affection and loyalty to pdp. Even when the MOST RESPECTED AND POPULAR SOUTH EATERNER IN RECORDED HISTORY, ran against a pdp ticket, he was ditched by his people and didnt even win his own state (I stand to be corrected)!!

Nowhere else has pdp seen as much support as they have in the East. Since 99, the party has held the zone on lockdown. The OPPOSITION HAS INTERRUPTED GOVERNORSHIP COLOURATION IN THAT ZONE FOR ONLY EIGHT YEARS OUT OF TWENTY!! Nowhereelse in the country do you find this trend!

The South East has paid their dues in sweat, blood and financial resources in PDP more than ANY OTHER ZONE in the country.

It is time the party rewarded them. That shouldnt be too hard to do.
To add to this, there was no time PDP or other parties zoned their presidency to South West rather it was zoned to the South or North. Didn't Ekwueme, Etiebet, and others content for PDP primary in 1999?

News the Igbo don't want to hear.

Envy, Jealousy and Witchcraft are all the same
First of all, Tinubu is eminently qualified for the president just like you and me. Secondly, the North cannot hold on to power for long, though they've got the number but can't face the SW and SS troubles... that'll be the end of the country if they tried such, as they can't imagine Lagos and it's ports, their investments like Dangote's, Rabiu's, etc and SS's oil money slipping away; they are actually wiser than most of us in the south think. And thirdly, they will want someone from SW and probably later from SS to be the president. Though I want SE's president but the reality of thing is far from such; emotions and name callings do not produce a president. Although SE had been partnering the North since 1954 except in 2015 but they had failed to set the terms and when the North was forgetting Biafra, there comes GEJ's issue and Kanu's revival of hatred.

To some scholars, democracy is a worst form of government in a multi-ethnic nation like Nigeria. A group can simply be sidelined without a perfect constitution and numbers. Hence there is need for new constitution (which will have the regional Independence Clause the Eastern leaders rejected in the 50s) and true federalism (which Ironsi canceled in 1966).

After all,we are all nigerians,and there should be no cause for discrimination of any kind.In effect, Tinubu had rally round to fight for the survival of this country.And also by his success ,the APC has become a formidable party in the country .so he has cause to be confident of winning the next presidential election.
If one thinks deeper, we can only become the president through 3 things: number, force and tact. Tinubu is trying to combine the 3 by reaching out to the North to have number 1. Sometimes, it's good to pick wisdom over intelligence.

Hello, I also stay in Enugu and I plan to get some items from Aliexpress soon. It will be my first time shopping with them.

Pls what is the post code you used?

I contacted NIPOST on Facebook and they sent me this postcode (400102) based on my Garden/Ọkpara Avenue address I sent them when they asked for my address.

Pls is it the same postcode you used?
Did they call you to come pick your item/s when it arrived?
Did you pay at the NIPOST office? I asked them about payment and they said this "It depends on the weight of the item. It ranges from 100-500 naira."
Yes, it is the same code and text message is sent when your package arrived.
Most time I paid 200 when I got my package from Ogui Post Office (that's where you'll collect your package not Okpara Ave. PO) but the last time I didn't pay for the Satfinder I bought on AliExpress, although they took my item to 9th mile Post Office.
