These are my brothers whom obj added to sw so as to at least make them an oil producing region.
But what do the richest,strongest and bravest black tribe the ijaws get from the same sw.
Instead they lodge some yours in hotels to be talking trash about the ijaws, calling us ogogoro drinkers, betrayingg the hero of democracy and the most respected ijaw man gej.
We have given all to these cowordly afonjas but they have paid us with liars,deceit, backstabbing, betrayingg, propagandaa,and wickedness.
Thank you other ss/se tribes for always standing beside the great ijaws as brothers.no wonder God blessed you too.

the way you guys lie shamelessly online is unbecoming, so its Obj that created Ondo state abi? or former South West Region of Nigeria? you not even an Izon so stop lying online liar, Yorubas and iJaws have been living peacefully for hundred of years in that area so look for another way to cause issues between them.

So the minister should be applauded despite the fact that he wants to impose someone who came third in the screening test
What has happen to the issue of merit?

if you read my post well and you know English comprehension, you should know what I meant.

how can a chief pf staff be over ruling a minister's recommendation? a chief of staff is a messenger nothing more, a minister is a constructional appointee with statue and privileges, plus consequences if anything goes wrong... what the hell is wrong with us in this country sef?

please sack all the workers,, they are not producing anything. unions should stop holding other Nigerians for ransom.

bro divorce her move on.. av a peace of mind, marriage is not by force... if u not happy, definitely you the responsible one.

wike should calm down please, he is over doing all the things... tambuwa that he supported over atiku in 2019 has shown that tambuwa is not reliable, so he should bot be fighting atiku for not picking him as a VP

dead on arrival... alot of cultures in Nigeria.. men where wrappers which is typically wore by women, will they also arrest women wearing trousers? bunch of clowns... anyone has every right to wear whatever he or she want to wear, so far its not security uniform or revealing nudity outfit.

am not a fan of FG at all.. but its high time thus unions know that, you can't buy tomatoes in kano at the same price with Lagos, same should happen to fuel subsidies, price of petrol in PH should be different from Gusau, state that has universities should engage their lecturers and negotiate to their capacity of payment, according to their revenues and allocation and let FG negotiate with federal university lecturers on their own... having a uniform pay across board is a no no.. it wont work.. we only deceiving ourselves.

Peter Obi's boys.
You will never see Peter Obi condemn ipob or UGM.
Buhari should release Kanu so he and Obi can campaign together.

Peter Obi will kill a million igbos just to prove a point. Go and ask about James Nwafor of Awkuzu.

Atiku and Tinubu have better plan for Igbos than this useless Obi.
Obiano, Ngige, Umahi, Chimaroke, Sullivan are better than this female-voiced lying thief from Agulu called Obituary.

you guys should please stop tagging politicians to all this mayhems we are all experiencing all over the country.. it won't stop the problem.. lets ask for foreign help please... its beyond our security agencies now.. Peter Obi, Tinubu, Atiku has nothing to do with all this barbaric animals in our midst everywhere, North, South, east and west.

so he is the commander of the army right? and he was the highest private citizen that end sars affected, with the destruction of his properties.

You Don’t have a Clue do you?

You are Just Making up lies as you go along

It was the Awori Yoruba that gave their Egun Cousins the Land they settled on in Badagry after they fled the King Of Dahomey’s Slave raiding Wars against their Original homeland of Ouidah in Benin Republic and the Fon Of Dahomey rained down Havoc among all their neighbours because of their desperation to Capture Slaves

Even in Porto Novo in Benin Repubic it was the Yorubas that gave refuge to the Egun that fled from the Dahomey Wars against Ouidah their homeland in the late 17th Century

The Dahomey were not great Warriors it was the Portuguese Slave Traders that armed them to the teeth and Trained them in the use of Firearms solely because the Fon Of Dahomey were the most willing to supply their Neigbhours to the Portuguese as Slaves without any Moral Justification whatsoever for War

That was why Dahomey became known as the Slave Coast

Some Portuguese even fought alongside the Dahomeans in their Slave raiding Wars

It reached the Point that Rival Dahomey Princes were waging Wars against themselves in their desperation to supply the Portuguese with Slaves in order to become Wealthy and Powerful

The Portuguese went to the extent of deposing the One Dahomey King that abolished the Slave Trade after he saw how it had decimated his kingdom

It was because of a Serious shortage of Men that the Dahomeans started using Women as Soldiers

If not for European interference the Dahomeans were not a serious Military Power

They always received a heavy Pounding at the hands of the Alaafins Oyo’s Army whenever they

Tried any nonsense , they always ended up sending begging Parties of their Nobles to beg the Alaafin at Oyo and they paid Tribute to Oyo for almost a Century

It was the Portuguese Slave Traders that gave Dahomey Liver

otherwise even the Eguns by themselves could deal with them

trash as usual... you ignored.

Ikeja was the Commercial Capital of the Western Region was what I meant

Ikeja industrial Estates were even built by Awolowo
All of Lagos State except Lagos Island was under and administered by Awolowo’s Western Region and even Lagos Island was recognised as being inside the Western Region

Ask your elders around you instead of displaying all this Ignorance

please stay bliss in ur ignorance.

Christistruth00:
Take a look at your fake Map again how could Adamawa State be in the Eastern Region and Niger State be in the Western Region?

All your Maps are post 1956 and Even then all Lagos Was part of the Western Region


Not only was Lagos in the Western Region but Ikeja in Lagos was the Capital of the Western Region after Premier Awolowo moved it from Ibadan

Ikeja was built by Awolowo

Now how Could Ikeja in Central Lagos be the Capital of the Western Region if Lagos was not part of the Western Region already?

The Western Region Came into existence in 1956

In 1887 Ibadan and Abeokuta were part of the Lagos Colony,Ilorin was added around 1897

Let me even give you more information

The British even included Lagos Island in the Western Region in 1956 because they recognized it was part of Yorubaland as everyone with 2 God given eyes can see clearly

Even today all Lagos belongs to the SW
Unless you want to deceive yourself

lobatan.. Ikeja capital of western region... continue... werey.

diadem10:
See this eediot. I asked you question but you can't answer any of them. You dey ment. Name the settlement in Badagry for a start. You dey mad?

Christistruth00:
Abeokuta and Ibadan were part of Lagos Colony the Lagos Colony included all of the Western Region , Ilorin was added later around 1897

Lagos Island was the Capital of Nigeria and it ended at the Carter Bridge the other Places you mentioned were officially in the Western Region but were only Leased from the Western Region because FG at Lagos Island had completely run out of Space

Or do you think Apapa Port , Tincan Island and Lagos Airport at Ikeja is not in the Western Region?

Look at the Map Of Awolowo’s Western Region Lagos at Independence, Again only Lagos Island the Capital Was not under his Administration but it was still Geographically part of the Western Region everywhere else in Lagos State was also in the Western Region

crap.. see the map of western region of Nigeria..Lagos was never part of it..

diadem10:
Will you keep quiet?

I asked you a question but you can't answer. What's the names of the settlements in Badagry? They're all Yoruba names. To tell you Yoruba own the place. I repeat, Egun were the ones who fled from Dahomey captives.

Meanwhile, Egun language is a conglomerate of Ilaje tongues (Mahin), Awori tongues, Oyo tongues (Popo and Ajase) and Fon tongues. You dey ment or what?

oponu... no be only mahin.. na Cantonese and awori tounges.. am done with an illiterate like you abeg... good bye. go Badagry go talk the nonsense you are saying if you no go collect.

diadem10:
You copied and pasted your rehearsed gibberish again.

I repeat, How could Awori who are the major owner of Lagos apart from the Ijebus be a migrant in Badagry? Na ment? Rather it was Egun who fled from Dahomey captive.

Ignorant clown who doesn't know nada.

The name 'Egun is a Yoruba name yet you're still spewing gibberish.

Egun's king wear Yoruba costumes from crown to feet yet you're still spewing gibberish?

Egun stemmed from Popo who's one of the offsprings of Oduduwa yet you're still spewing gibberish?

Meanwhile, You didn't even know that Yoruba spanned all the way from Nigeria to Benin and Togo. Yoruba isn't just an ethnic group but a race.

see this one wey no sabi anything... there is Lagos Island, there is Lagos State, Lagos Island belongs to Benin and Aworis, Lagos state as it is now is Egun, ijebu and Aworis #fact. am done with you jare you know nothing.. you just a troll.

diadem10:
Meanwhile, did Tiwa Savage tell you masseratti that she's not Yoruba like you miscreant is trying to label Egun? Na ment?

alaye... Savage family and mine are family friends and yes they are Egun from Lagos... if e pain you the lagoon is wide open for you.

Christistruth00:
Ibadan Ijebu,Ilorin and Abeokuta were part of the Lagos Colony please Correct your information


At independence only Lagos Island was the Capital of Nigeria all other Areas like Yaba , Lagos Mainland, Surulere and Apapa were only leased from the Western Region as Lagos Island had run out of Space


ikeja included all Mainland and Metropolitan Lagos

At independence the Western Region included all of Lagos State except Lagos Island Which was Nigeria’s Capital
Even after Lagos State was created in 1967 Lagos Island was still the Capital

Below is the 1962 map of the Western Region including ikeja

i don't know where you got your history from, but what you wrote is a big lie, only Lagos Island, yaba, mushin, surulere, Badagry were part of Lagos colony, ojuelegba was the bus station /stop into western protectorate.... oga go and read the history well please.

let me now stoop low to your level... oponu oshi... epe, Ikorodu, Ikeja were never part of colonial Lagos... it was lagos Island, surulere, lagos mainland yaba that were part of lagos colony.. ijebus from ikorodu and epe was never part of Lagos British colony.. not protectorate like other part of Nigeria. what do you know about Dahomey? nothing, nada... fools like you will come online to be saying rubbish.. where is your papa compound sef for Yoruba land? atleast av mentioned my own and you still haven't the audacity to be challenging me on my ethnicity, my town, my heritage. have mentioned places and people.. name one place and anyone you know in Badagry.. people like you don't make it in life because of their beliefs in ignorance and i don't blame you.. Sorry i take that back.. i blame no one but you.. nothing else... how can you know my place more than me? alaye.. am ready for you with facts and figures with names.. we Gunnus.. which u call Egun.. are not Yorubas.. if i mention some other "Eguns" for you.. you will be shocked because many of them are bearing English names or Yoruba names.. are you aware Tiwa Savage is also Egun? are u aware Zinsu is also Egun? dont just let me start.. former goalkeeper Dosu is Egun.
whats the meaning of fled Dahomey? Abomey was under Oyo empire #fact.. didn't make them Yoruba.. they defeated oyo army with the Dahomey amazons.. they are two different city states in Benin Republic.. they ransacked egbaland.. took slaves.. sold them to the Portuguese later the British.. thats what made Badagry settlement prosperous.. if you know history well.. it was called slave coast, letter bight of Benin. go and sit down abeg.. you know nothing, Google is your friend stop been stupid online saying rubbish.. again where be your papa compound for Yoruba land?

diadem10:
There's nothing like Gunnu or Badagrian. You dey ment. Meanwhile, you do realise that Awori are co-owner of Badagry and as a matter of fact, Awori are the real natives of Badagry before Egun fled from Dahomey captive to coexist with Awori in Badagry? I repeat, Ogun, Sango, Ifa, Okun etc are the gods in Badagry. Sink that into your skull. It's even stupid to argue with a liar like you in the first place considering you can see Egun king in yoruba costumes and attires from crown to feet yet you're still spewing gibberish. Na ment?

oga go and sit the hell down... my step siblings are aworis from Mowo after Age Mowo
. aworis are not indigenous after Mowo..
they are not in Ajido. Ajara,or Badagry... Infact Badagarians were pushed from current OJo into Badagry now over the last centuries they are the real owners of the land the aworis were the migrants.. if you been there the historical evidence are there..
aworis settlements are new.
Gunnu which is what we actually call ourselves is ancient.
it should be embarrassing to you to be talking about someone's else lineage.. and apparently you ve not left the confine of you village thats why you will say that crown on Akran head is yoruba crown.. am half Gunnu and half Yorùbá.. when your elders are talking go and sit your ass down and shut up ad learn about what you don't know.

diadem10:
You're the one dealing in ignorance because Yoruba spanned all the way from Nigeria to Benin Republic and Togo. Some of them still send their chiefs to Ile-ife to represent them whenever Ile-ife is having any festive period. All Yoruba's historical root is from Ile-ife. You identify them by their culture.

Meanwhile, I can confirm you're a liar the moment you said ogun, IFA etc isn't part of egun's gods. Na ment?

As a matter of fact, egun stemmed from popo which is one of the offsprings of oduduwa.

you just a very ignorant person.. are you a Badagarian? have u ever been to Badagry to be talking about the people? am from Badagry my family compound is not far from the Akran palace... my uncle was former commissioner of Education in lagos state in the 80s under Babangida regime... so don't come online disputing my history for me and try to learn is not a bad thing to admit when you wrong online... Who tell you Sango, Ogun are Egun Gods... besides we don't call ourselves Egun... its either Ogu or Gunnu... period.

diadem10:
Another Ipob miscreant.

Let me dish these out below.

Ooni of ife;

Olowo of Owo;

Olubadan of Ibadan;

Alafin of Oyo;

Does that ring a bell to your head?

All Yoruba Obas have their titles which they bear. However they're all Obas

Meanwhile, you've seen the king of badagry in his attires. His costume, crown and wears are all Yorubas. His staff is from ile -ife. Egun's gods are sango, Ogun, IFA etc which are Yorubas.

You dey ment or what?

oga am Egun... other kings in Benin Republic also dress that way and wear crowns in that fashion its not just a Yoruba thing... we are not Yorubas and sango or ogun is not part of the traditional gods of Gunuus... have u heard of Zangbeto before? stop saying what you don't know online someone has been trying to correct you since the first page you decide to continue your ignorance online.

diadem10:
Another bullshit.

Egun language is as close to Yoruba as it can get. It's not even difficult to understand. I understand some of their tongue. People around the axis of ijebu, Ilaje etc can understand egun's language to an extent. It's been modified of course due to their interaction with other tribes in Ghana and Benin republic, especially after Dahomey enslaved them for a while.

That being said, your language isn't the source of your root but your culture and historical root. Egun root is from ile ife. So also is their culture.

oga please stop misinforming people online.. we Gunuu which you guys call Eguns are not Yorubas and we were never enslaved by Dahomey, our language is not related at all.. yes most can also speak Yoruba but that doesn't make us Yorubas, just loke you have Yorubas in Benin Republic and Nigeria, we also have Gunnus in Nigeria and Benin Republic, the Akran of Badagry.. we don't call him Oba he is Aholu AKRAN.. Thats what we call our kings not Oba, and he didn't migrate from ile ife but Abomey.

It’s not the same thing sir. Not even close. Again I can agree with your on spending ridiculous amounts on a wristwatch (as with any other clothing item for that matter) but not on the necessity of a wristwatch. Those are two separate arguments.

You didn’t answer the questions I raised about scenarios where carrying a phone is not allowed or appropriate. In sports, will a football referee carry his phone to keep time? Will a scuba diver carry his phone underwater too? If you’re writing an exam or written interview where phones are not allowed how do you check time? If you’re in a business meeting or giving a talk at a seminar do you know how unprofessional it looks to take your phone out to look at time?

What about when you’re driving or doing any other activity that requires both hands and full concentration? Is it safer to glance at your wrist or pick your phone out of your pocket to check time then? For ladies that tend to keep their phones in their handbags because they wear dress with no pockets - does it take more or less time to glance at their wrist than to prowl through their bags for their phones every time they need to check time?

Also don’t forget that wristwatches these days do much more than tell time. Some advanced watches can monitor your blood pressure, pulse and your heart rate while exercising. You can receive notifications from your phone on your watch incase you are not with it.

Bro a wristwatch is more than just a fashion item or accessory. Of which people still spend ridiculous amounts on pure accessory items like necklaces and jewelry. So what will you say about those ones?

i hear you.. you ve made your point.

SlyfoxxjReturns:
It’s not obsolete. Glancing at your wrist to check the time is much faster, convenient and even more professional in some settings than pulling out your phone from your pocket to do so. Also in sports, exams and other events where checking/keeping time is essential but phones are not allowed.

I do agree that spending THIS amount on a wristwatch is mental.

same thing was said about a pocket watch, when l the first wristwatch was made for Queen Elizabeth the first.... wrist watch is obsolete.. thats why I ge truth... same secs it will take you to look at your wrist... you already on your phone most of the time spending a billion naira on that is insane.

i wll advice tinubu campaign to disassociate it self for this one man organization called Muric..
