Isn't that a bit extreme?? Besides, it's highly unlikely that an entire family would chose not to reproduce. So what, if one or two of them don't [want to]?

True...it's unlikely because u are sure not everyone in an entire family would make such abnormal decision

Wat if ur parents decided never to have u, u would have never existed...think of it

RAKITIC:
so anyone that decides nt to have kids is mad?

...is close to madness

such person might as well eat grass cus it's abnormal for a human being

striktlymi:
I need not be there to know.

Technology brah!

Which technology told u it's only Jonathan that has such problem in his polling centre?

striktlymi:
Its very suspicious that it only happened to the President and his wife.

Other people are being accredited in the same polling unit without incidence.

And u know this because u are there?

EnlightenedSoul:
Perhaps not to someone who wants them terribly, but otherwise, it's perfectly rational.

Madness? I completely disagree...but why madness (of all things)??

How is it rational? Say every one in ur family decides to not have children...there ur heritage is lost as ur blood line exists reality

It's human nature to what to keep the blood flowing, to keep the family heritage alive
Any exception is abnormal like madness

sammyj:
Story for the gods, PDP propaganda !!!!

SAI GMB !!!

but surely they hold truths

What ever happened to true love

But seriously why do young ladies keep giving a list of what they want in a man? What if such men don't like your type?

This is the best GEJ can ever get in any elections in Nigeria. We know GEJ support base has dwindled and shrunk to the SE, SS and some Middle Belt sates.
GMB is billed to take the SW, all of the NE/NW states and some MB states.

GMB is taking 2015. This is the new most realistic projections below.

Mark this post.
Nigeria Sai Baba

I still don't understand why morons like urself keep thinking SW is for APC

vjsmiles:
with those manifesto's buhari has a better governing scheme...
with corruption and insurgency and security included in his manifesto we can enjoy power education and all those included in gej manifesto...

GMB come saturday...
click like for buhari and share for gej

Buhari cannot fight corruption when he has corrupt people pushing him forward like tinubu and obasanjo
Unless Buhari plans to bite the hand that feeds him which is highly improbable

I keep saying it that USA government is an enemy of Africa
Forget Obama being half black..the man is bigot against Africans especially Nigeria

1. Refused to sell weapons to Nigeria
2. Refused to help in intelligence gathering
3. Refused to aid Nigeria during the ebola crisis
4. Openly bad mouthing the Nigerian government and military
5. Cutting off oil imports from Nigeria

I blame Nigeria for expecting anything good from USA...maybe now GEJ will learn to look to our African nations rather than oversees opportunists

UTILITYMAY:
Before being MILITARY Head of State, he had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha.

He is a no-nonsense man, hence you can never see anyone accuse him of corruption..

In his time as Head of State, he did not implement Sharia law; he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military).

He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja .

Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station, much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our leaders. He could have retired into nauseating opulence like most of his counterparts (IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ) but didn't.

He refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of the same government.

His personal driver of many years is a Christian from Plateau State!

JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2yrs before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison.

I hope this makes sense to you or is it story for the gods?

#VoteWisely

How many of them got fair trial? He took out his enemies you are saying he fought corruption
Buhari should go and sit down. A man like that has no business with the presidency

nsiazu:
Matthew 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Humility isn't gullibility pls

paulGrundy:
1 Corinthians 1:18

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Foolishness is when u believe the face of a man who lived about 1,985yrs ago appeared on dirt when no one knows how he looked

So don't come here talking of foolishness unless you talking about urself along with it

Rossikk:
You do realize that ''Pharaoh'' is a title like 'Oba', and not a name?

Sadly they don't learn that from their pastors

EnlightenedSoul:
Typical scare tactic.

So the 'promise' of servitude in seniority, and thoughts of obscure future graduation parties are reason enough to have children you don't otherwise want?

What if you've just never wanted them?

There's no way to rationalise a person motive for not wanting to have children...it's nt too far from madness as the desire for reproduction is our nature

ayusco85:
Abdulsalam should be the best elder statesman Nigeria can boast of now. he is an epitome of peace

xreal:
I respect Abdulsalam so much.

If any former miliary head of state should return at all it should be a peaceful and educated one not an inciter of violence and a man who came show his certificate

MRLINGTON:
We don't need dem for our elections...They should go back to sambisa




They rigged Ekiti elections

Ode they are there to protect you, so u can come out and vote

Apc don't want soldiers because u want to rig.
Isn't the Ekiti state case in court? Let the court decide but before then shut ur dumb self up

JackBaueress:
Mr. Obama,General Muhammadu Buhari is the only presidential candidate that can tackle security and save Nigeria from the shackles of the failed PDP government of Jonathan. I am happy you acknowledged that Nigeria needs a leader who will secure Nigeria. Jonathan has failed woefully!

Sai Buhari!

Why do u Apc people keep peddling lies like this?. obasanjo and atiku should be held responsible for the failures of the PDP
They came they destroyed and left to APC....u people would let those that destroy Nigeria from pdp do same in Apc jst for some cheap indomie and sweets u were given

makazona:
No i get it.everybody is wrong and u are right.isnt it?
Other person's points are craps while urs are wisdom from heaven?

i know ur type bro.my advice: Learn to take aside bias while discussing with people.talk with open mind and decent language.admit when u are wrong.

go ahead with tribalism.lets see where it takes u

So this thread is still alive with all the derailing and nuisance

you can confirm anything I've stated from other sources..preferably from Bini elders if Oranmiyan fathered The first Oba of Bini or not. and come back to tell me about your findings so we both can learn and develop in Knowledge...
Other than that you can think whatever u like
But surely I am nt bias if anything u are for calling me disrespectful for giving a deserving reply to Nigerman

9jacrip:
Yup been busy with exams.
Movie?
I'll ask still sha, I'll get back to you on it.

Yes Yoruba movie..am sure that particular actor is a full Babalawo, he's always reciting good verses
I'll try getting his name

Adeyinka12:
in your own opinion ? i know you will disagree,garii and egusi is yoruba words,you said hausa own the word garii,not at all.hausa don't produce garii they buy from us .if you talk of suya that is confirm hausa word and that of egusi you make me laugh.egusi is yoruba words,as i said earlier yoruba have the seed called egusi and is soup also call egusi or egusi soup/obe egusi ,you borrow it from the yorubas

Probably one of those ancient words that have survived in both Igbo and Yoruba vocabulary

Yoruba language is strong and easy for a well knowledge Yoruba speaker to figure out it's etymology - ladi has already pointed out the etymology of the word
we say Egushi, Egunsi, Egusi
Note: Akan call it Agushi

9jacrip:
I missed this mention sir, apologies.
I will do some questionings on that; plus under what Ifa Odu is that verse?

Mr good sir, you must have been busy

I don't know the Odu...I heard it from TV
A Babalawo was divining and recited that verse in the movie

Aigbofa:
Oya was the wife of Sango, she is idolised by the river Niger according to Yoruba mythology. Does it mean she didn't exist or she actually turned to a river?
I think the Benin folks are just trying to exploit the myth for reasons other than history.

jst like oduduwa, oya, sango and many other names are in two folds - cosmology and history

The Oya u speak of, wife of King Sango was actually a devotee to the Goddess Oya..her name was Oyamakinde(Oya has brought the brave one) as they say in Ira - her hometown

So when someone tells you about oduduwa coming from the sky, note: that's not a reference to the Olufe but to the creator God, this oduduwa is even female in many parts of Yorubaland

most Great ancestors are immortalised by giving them names of pre-existing deities or renaming the deities after them

bigfrancis21:
Those were examples!

Prove that 'omo' in 'OMO N'OBA N'EDO' is from Yoruba. That doesn't make his title Yoruba. Definitely, 'oba' isn't Yoruba.

I see, you forgot the 'uku' part which is similar to 'ukwu' in Igbo that means 'great' ie Igbo Ukwu.

Where did I say the title is Yoruba?

Anyway suit urself...my last comment to u.

Since u are so block headed and blind to see the obvious. it's common with people who have unwarranted hatred for other people

bigfrancis21:
And you have utterly failed to provide evidence of 'oyinbo' in Ajami script equally.

Because I don't have the interest. I don't need to I already know my language well enough

But u certainly will like to get to find out so I brought ajami to ur notice...a pity u do internet work..I doubt there's anything on ajami on any website

bigfrancis21:
It is a known fact that the Obas of Lagos were buried in Bini land until Oba Akitoye when Lagos was ceded to the British.

And so? Is this wat I asked u to check on the internet? Try checking "oba of Benin buried in Ife" via google

bigfrancis21:
Listen, NigerMan1 made an interesting observation that 'obas' were widely unknown in Yorubaland until after the first installation of oba of lagos by the Oba of Bini. Hitherto, yoruba monarchs were known by their titles such as 'ooni of ijebu', or 'alake of ibadan', or 'alafin of egbaland'. Clear evidence 'oba' in the sense of 'king' isn't even Yoruba to start with.

And in ur ignorance you fail to realize that jst like Yoruba obas, Benin monarch has a styled title - omo n'oba n'edo ask ur Lord and master Nigerman if I am correct, also ask him the meaning


alake of Ibadan, Alaafin of egbaland, ooni of ijebu this guy is going crazy

bigfrancis21:
Stop trying to derail the thread. You are beginning to take the issue too personal.

Now, please what is the use of bringing up ajami script when you have nothing to prove with it?

You lie against me and don't want me to talk..chio...see wahala

I should take a bullet for nothing?

You still have not proved all ur accusations against me

bigfrancis21:
I knew it! This local historian didn't go to school. Explains why simple academic citation has proven so hard for him.

Mr. English is foreign...I rather I am corrected in African languages

bigfrancis21:
Please answer my question, are all Bini Obas buried in Ife? Yes or No?

How many Bini Obas have been buried in Ife? Honestly I don't know. Let me know.

Why not ask The internet? Surely you would get the answer..don't u think?

bigfrancis21:
Oh please. I am not the least interested in your ancient ajami whatsoever. I lost interest long ago when I discovered it is not a Yoruba invention to start with.

So you aren't looking for academic proof? U jst want to keep making noise

Ok I forgot, u only accept what others have digged up and put on the internet
