Hmmm. You are either to young to know this great man or......hmmmmmm

if you can comprehend what I wrote, you will know am too old for nairaland, for democracy struggles we all know what he did, same thing oshiomole, and many other activist turned politicians, I just don't know why Power, honor and integrity can't mix in Nigeria, one in a hundred million chances.

The guy should just rest it abeg, if he wasn't schemed out of place playing double face politics, he won't be saying all this now, Sani should have stood his grounds right from get go in the senate, he would have earned the respect of his admirers and traducers alike.

Op/Mod. why do you want to give me Engriish headache this Sunday morning with your topic.

If kannywood is Hausa ( am guessing due to Kano)

Yorubas own should be laggywood ( due to Lagos market na) abi?

you must be indomie generation.

Who else could have signed him?

That toilet scene with Bambam couldn't have solicited any other brand aside Kolaq Alagbo....

you too get brain, that's what came to my head straight up, they are re enacting that scene.

I thought Tinubu owned Orientals hotel, meanwhile the management of the firm have themselves to blame for abusing their privileges, importing instead of manufacturing locally, the government also share in the blame, Nigerian borders are too porous, it's high time we give our neighboring countries the Trump treatment, they batter aid in stopping smuggled goods or we close our borders.

Chime is a thief who stole Enugu money and land...


A chronic womanizer that specializes in buying exotic cars for his numerous concubines..

This lady was an innocent corper serving in the government house until chime struck...

It's a pity

why are you pitying her? She enjoyed it while it last.

SirBunky85:
are u a Lagos indigene?why not come to abia the agbero general at osisioma who was appointed by ikpeazu to intimidate tricycle operators? we igbos go just dey chook our mumu mouth for another people mata while our homes burn.nonsense

am not Igbo... It just aches me when people come from their own states and start making unnecessary, unfounded claims in Lagos, and the indigenes are left out, have you ever heard of a logosian holding any political post in other part of the southwest? And Kwara? If you try it they will ask you where is your papa house, go there and be councilor, but here no one do that because we are accommodating.

teddyalba:
Which real indigenous Lagosians are you talking about?

You should know that in all yorubaland the markets has always belonged to the kings or the Baales as the case may be. And the iyaloja and iyalode are titled chieftancy titles conferred on imminent indigenous women who are in most cases of noble births or conferred on eminent settlers who have contributed to commerce in the communities.

These women's title are not honorary as they also attend the king's council meetings. Its only the male equivalent that is a modern day introduction.

And the titles could be hereditary at times. Folashade inherited the title from her grandma. We have iyaloja in the different locales on Lagos Island. She is not the iyaloja of Lagos Island and neither was Abibatu Mogaji her grandma in her lifetime but the head of all iyalojas in Lagos state. Its a chieftancy affairs beyond the comprehension of non yorubas and non indigenes.

There is a head of Olode, Araba, herbalist, artisans etc. Maybe you are not aware there is also a leading baale to the other baales?

Folashade is worthy of the title by virtue of being the granddaughter of Abibatu Mogaji than being Tinubu's daughter. If you know the mama you wont question her installation. Jagaban too made a name because of her if you care to know. We used to know him as Omo Alhaja before he became what he is.

Folashade is worthy of the title, if its just by imposition she would have died long ago to be receiving the homages of the older market women.

Oga please part of my family is kosoko, kings.... Don't tell me history of Lagos Island, my grandmother was a prominent textile trader in gutter.

No women title is hereditary in Yoruba land so please don't bring in what is alien to tradition.

All market squares under any dominion is controlled by the ruler, that's why you must see an ọjà ọba in any Yoruba land that you go into with the market in most cases right beside the ọba's palace, I have traveled far and wide in Yoruba land to know that.

Abibat mogaji was made head on the Nigerian men and women market association, by her peers all over the country, she didn't become the head automatically just because she is the iyaloja of Lagos Island.... History must be set correct...

Hmmmn,more of a lagosian than a biafrian?
So u are now claiming to be a Yoruba,oduduwa pikin.u better go and get a stable bearing for urself

can you understand what you wrote? Oga where is your father compound in Yoruba land, state it here on Nairaland, I don't need to claim been what I am go through my history and stop tagging me what am not,because am saying the truth and you guys knows it.

Honor10:
computer village will have Iyaloja and Babaloja, u can either kill urself or go back to your potopoto republic.

whatever computer village head is called is none of my business, but has a lagosian for someone to say he or she can do what is wrong, she must be joking, the chicken is coming home to roost, no dictator last in Nigerian history, what I can do about it I what am doing now, incase people are ignorant that she doesn't have such powers and take their challenges to court, let the Supreme Court decides on that, that's what am doing and I bet you hurting, sorry we can't have another round of unproductive people lording over others, potopoto republic kò banana island ni... No matter how much you use that phares it's glaring to all that am Yorùbá and an apolitical, so safe it for those that will need it, not me.

Honor10:
then shut up.

why should I shut up, so that you and your paymasters can keep on feeding where u not suppose to? If people didn't raise their voice they, your paymasters won't get to where they are, am not a wailer nor am I zombie, but if you lack decorum, please go back to the hole you came out from and let civilized people have a discuss on social issues.

Honor10:
ansa my question and stop talking nonsense, who are the indigenes of Lagos?

Google is your friend and it's free, go and use it, I don't answer anyone irrelevant questions, are you going to pay for it? Mr Jamb Question.

Ologogoro:
I think as the Iyaloja general, she has the power to appoint those Iyaloja you listed above. What do I even know

who gave her the "general authority"?

It was in the hey days of her grandmother the appellation "general" was given to her name mostly by the media, when she was fighting the regime of Babangida, it was even called iyaloja general of Nigeria, would that now make her to appoint market leaders in other states?

Do you have an idea what this means, for the rest of her life she will be collecting money from all the market women in the state, without accounting for it, her decision can increase prices of items anytime she wishes.

luluman:
You be mumu, yet Iyabo Ojo makes decision for you.

I don't do low life's like you, am Yoruba and am not a trader, we can't keep on seeing something being done wrong and not condemn it, what she is doing will soon cause greater chaos than we can imagine, imagine choosing a Yoruba babaloja and iyaloja for Fulani ram sellers when they don't sell any ram.

Shila16:
Ipob bastard speaking trash as usual, all places in Lagos is under jurisdiction of oba akiolu

when a cretin from igbó Ora is talking, we know them, we you are not a lagosian how would you know that everywhere in Lagos is not under Akinolu... He is Ọba of Lagos Island, go to Badagry go and tell Akran that Akinolu has dominion over his land,stop using Ipob is stale.... Am not Igbo, am a Lagosian what Ìyá Mogagi Tinubu did not do in her time should not welcome in Iyabo time, period.

capitalzero:
your head is correct. omo yoruba atata ni e. lagos is not a city but state. You cannot expect iyaloja of ile-ife to appoint babalojas or iyalojas for markets in osogbo,ede or ilesa. similarly, iyaloja of oyo town cannot appoint babalojas or iyalojas for markets in ogbomoso, saki etc. it is wrong. it is abuse of power and authority. iyaloja of eko is not iyaloja of lagos. she may be the chairperson or iyalojas and babalojas in lagos but not to controls other markets in lagos.

thank you ooo... If she is the head of an association, that's different, she can act on that ground, but to use the authority that should end at Lagos Island, it's high time other Obas in lagos no matter what class they are step up and tell Akinolu that his iyaloja is encroaching.
What would av being better is if the Obas in those domains choose their own iyaloja and babaloja, they all come together and be under one roof.

Honor10:
who are the real indigenous people of Lagos?

a real lagos indigenous person can trace his family lineage in Lagos and family compound, plus we know ourselves no matter what.

luluman:
You for step up for them now, or go do business for Onitsha.

I have no business to do in Onitsha am more of a lagosian than Iyabo Tinubu Ojo

Tareq1105:
Ipob wants to teach us how to run Lagos.

Ogbeni am Yorùbá, check my history, what is wrong is wrong, I don't care about any Ipob or whatever they are called.

This is absolutely wrong, since she was given the title of iyaloja by Ọba Akinolu, she can not enforce her authority over places that are not under the Dominion of Ọba of Lagos, he authority should not go beyond Lagos Island, there is nothing like Iyaloja general, what will the iyoloja of ikorodu, EPE and Badagry now be or do, this is wrong if the state house of assembly passed any law to back this abnormally, the court should be approached, it's high time real indigenous people of Lagos steps in, this their silence and I don't care attitude will keep on costing them their real place in Lagos politics, you can't impose people to be collecting money on your behalf in places that is not under your dominion.

I don't think I can take any institution that pays this lady or anyone money to attend an event, what the hell is their value in attending?

Please my people, help a starving brother. I have been pleading for help since 2 days now. I'm a student who returned to school last week because of the prospects of exams starting on Tuesday and also because I was opportuned to enter a free ride. my family isn't bouyant enough and my dad has severe high BP that's why I had to find my way so as not to make him to start thinking about where to get money to give me. I haven't eaten a decent food since I got back and am starving.


I am soliciting for help from well meaning people who will be touched enough to hear my plight and have mercy. I am not asking for much, no matter how little, it will go a long way. God bless you all

In a world where symmetry and centralization are usually taken quite seriously, some folks might be pretty inquisitive as to why this “rule” was not extended to the car steering wheel.

“Why isn’t it in the middle ! at least we would not have to worry about the left hand drive and right hand drive issue” like it is in the Mclaren F1 and some other rare cars.

Let’s get enlightened .

1.There would be issues with comfortably sitting two people in front, the driver included. The driver would have to sit slightly to the left or right to allow someone else sit beside him. If you have ever sat in the front sit of a Keke Marwa(Tricycle), you would understand what I am saying and how uncomfortable it is.To fix the issue of comfort with this setup, manufacturers would have to increase the width of the car, which in turn would lead to more wind resistance.
Wind resistance would make the car engine work harder to attain certain speeds, which means more fuel would be used.

2.It would be very uncomfortable getting into the drivers seat from either side of the car.

3.While sitting in the middle would mean both sides of the car are equally distant from the driver, it would also make having a centre mirror impractical, and it would move the driver further from the centre of the road, making it hard to see around some corners, such as those at intersections/crossroads, or when a Danfo is about to brush you �.

4.You would also have a hard time seeing what is going on in front of you, especially when there is traffic, or when you are about to overtake, because you would need to lean all the way to the right or left to see what is going on ahead.

Did you learn something today?

If you have points to add, we would love to read about them in the comments.

Don’t forget to share.

I have to read what you wrote twice av been opportune to driver a Porsche 911 with a middle sterering on my vacation 7years ago in Germany, I will tell u its way better, excluding the passengers comfort you trying to put across, they won't even allow you to drive that car unless you done three to four Laps on a normal left in Leipzig, which they just rebuilt couple of year ago and it will cos you nothing less than 600 euros... That wax what it cost me then sha... Am a fan of your write ups, but driving a car with good stability on the wheels is more or less than riding a bicycle, much more better for controls, which I had the experience on a normal highway tho... But that never happened.
