In English Language, when you ask a "do" question the verb that follows is not in past tense. I go burn your cable.

Lmao!

@Post

OP, where do you want him to read his speech from, the Quran

Here is my opinion.

At such an important gathering where the 70th UN General Meeting coincided with a renewed effort by Biafrans for UN recognition, the prudent thing to do would be to stage a public rally in Manhattan, right there in Times Square, just walking distance of less than ten blocks from UN Hq, and also flood internet and social media with tag #biafra and draw public attention and make Biafra the new Palestine in the global conscience. If this had happened, global leaders attending UN meeting and the accredited Journalists covering the event would notice and the Nigerian delegate would be cornered to address questions unofficially and off camera. This will create a task agenda for investigative journalists who might end up championing the Biafran cause for global awareness.

Instead of thinking proactively along this line, Ibos, as typical for them to do, choosed to position their cart before the horse by beating down on Nigeria and using internet and radio to harass Yorubas and Hausas and thereby position Nigeria as the victim of Biafran aggression instead of the other way around.

When will these cowards get some sense and understand how to turn political opportunities into gains that favor their interest , when?

The first batch is a mix including women and representation from each region.

OPC should be activated! Period!

I love this response from Emir Sanusi.
He laid things out in the order they need to be addressed.

May he live long, and may Saadatu bear for him many princes and princesses.

Those who will jump in and open thread begging Seun and mods to deal with tribalism are no where to be found to denounce this thread now. Even the mods andSeun himself are in limbo and dont see fit to remove and punish this op. Soon as Yoruba boys respond in kind and open demeaning threads about Ibo, advocates against tribalism, bigotry will flood in begging mods to act.

What we ought to do is demand to see list of those voting support for criminality.

May his soul RIP.

When Stella Oduah was embroiled in controversy over mismanagement of Aviation Ministry and faced termination, Ohanaeze issued a ultimatum and labelled those calling for her termination enemies of Igbo.

When the controversy on missing billions of Naira in NNPC surfaced and calls were made to fire Madueke and Iweala, Ohanaeze issued an ultimatum threatening to take Nigeria to UN for discrimination against Igbo.

When Senator Ike Ekweremadu was accused of Senate Rules forgery and asked to step down, Ohanaeze issued ultimatum calling his opponents enemies of Igbo.

Now, there is a brewing allegation of Joy Ugwu sabotaging President Buhari's expected appearances at UN's functions and calls are mounting for her sack.

We await Ohanaeze's ultimatum on this episode.

FreshGuy2:
Do You know that the Town Kwankwaso in Kano State, the Home of
the former State Governor, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso was founded by an Igbo
Trader, Mr Okonkwo about 90years ago?
The Story.
An Igbo trader called Mr. Okonkwo found a convenient farm gate site
along the railway track leading to Kano where he could buy, thresh and
mill groundnut. He set up his thresher and mill and erected a signboard
reading "OKONKWO & SONS ENTERPRISES". Soon he started getting
patronage from neighboring villagers and farmers who found it convenient
for trade because of proximity to the railway. With time, the spot became
lively with business activities and people started erecting huts and market
stalls.

Oh God....Oh God...Oh God, please when next you create Ibo on the planet give them abundance sense to be able to see and hear past their ego.

Kwankwaso in Hausa means bottom part of the body, i think the waist or pelvic area. It has nothing to do with Okonkwo. Some of your people made a similar claim about being the first settler of a town in Katsina State, it turned out the town was non existent in the year they claimed settlement on it.

I don.tire for these people.

Who listens to Ohanaeze these days?

dustmalik:
In as much as i would like to see Joy Ogwu sacked or be recalled by the federal government for her incompetency and for deliberately sabotaging Buhari's itineraries which, in turn, led to a gargantuan embarrassment on the person of my beloved President, it's not possible. Though her tenure expires in December 2015, which is barely two months from now. The emboldened, in my opinion, means she can't be sacked or recalled by the federal government. Read below



NB - This is my opinion, and also to educate those calling for her sack. For the bigots on here, you can insult me all you want, but i'll not be replying

Who pays her salary?

aresa:
General visit to other countries and UN functions are 2 different things.

We have permanent folks at the UN for a reason. It's not the job of the Nigerian embassy to draw up and formulate UN schedules or chaperon the president around the UN for official UN engagements inside the UN. This is the job of the Nigerian mission at the UN. Nigerian mission to the UN.


You people come up with the most thoughtless ignorant and unintelligent rubbish...

Thats wht i said, the Nigerian UN mission is distinct from the Nigerian Embassy in US. Totally separate staff and headcount.

The fool i responded to had it mixed up.

Is it surprising at all that those women who have failed the country are all from one region, SE?

The Immigration boss - Rose Uzoma
Aviation Minister - Stella Oduah
Finance Minister - Ngozi Iweala
Petroleum Minister - Allison Maduekwe (my darling )
UN Perm Rep - Joy Ogwu.

Don't let me start listing the men, a whole page will be filled, starting with Pius Anyim, the dozing Secretary.

Incompetent race of people!

OfoIgbo:
No, not at all. UN observer are already blaming Mumu-hammadu for not having an external affairs minister. Such a person would have coordinated this trip.

Joy Ogwu is only Nigeria's represenrative in the UN. She is not the Nigerian ambassador in the US and definitely not the foreign affairs minister.

Previois presidents she served under, had ministers that will oversee the planning of such high profile trips.

For me, the alarm bells started ringing when I noticed fmr gov Fayemi seated between Buhari and Joy Ogwu in Buhari's first UN engagement in this trip.
I asked myself this question. Why will someone without a portfolio be sitting between the president and the official representative of Nigeria? If Fayemi had been the minister of foreign affairs, or VP, or the wife of the president, I would have understood, but that picture immediately said it all. Buhari and his entourage were there for the photo ops, rather than for any serious work, hence I am not surprised by the shambles the whole trip has turn out to be.

UN observers (not partisan pressmen or anti-Igbo Nigerians) have already correctly laid the blame on the president, and that's that.

What did you say??

Alright, I think it is time we sanction Ibos from the political section. You guys just dont get it!!


The UN is located in America but its grounds and campuses are considered international territory. The UN has its own police force. AMERICA has no jurisdiction on UN grounds.

Now, America itself has a rep in the UN. The UN rep is different from an Ambassadorial post but both are diplomatic missions.

The Nigerian Ambassador to the US is there to facilitate the needs of bilateral agreements between US and Nigeria people in areas of cultural exchange, business exchange, tourism, education, arts and so on.....

The Nigerian Perm Rep to UN is there to facilitate treaties between Nigerian Government and UN members and to be the face and facilitator when Nigeria interacts, inter-exchange, inter-play with peer Nations for military, state, humanitarian aid, development and peace accords.

One represent the people - Ambasador
The other represent the Sovereign - Perm Rep.

Dont ever make the mistake of confusing the two again.

Who wants to bet that Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UN Perm Rep is not going to SE?

Incompetency follows SE people.

Any flag on their caskets, no?

this is the one FFK has been using to Bleep Ibo women.

20 Popular Yoruba Charms And Their Uses

Adams Odunayo 2 weeks ago20144

The African culture is so fascinating and interesting although many view it as being backward and uncivilized.

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

A typical Yoruba charm

Although there are beliefs that the so called western science is well advanced and protected by patents that make it look more sophisticated. However, only a few of these African culture critics know that the western science also has its roots in the same principles as that of Africa.

While most Africans use these powers for negative ventures, the whites glory in using the powers to invent stuff that bring about societal advancement. See below some of the popular Yoruba charms and their meanings below:

1. Ijaya
Literally, the word ‘Ijaya’ in Yoruba language means ‘to frighten’. It is a charm used in frightening an enemy or an antagonist. It is also used in taking advantage of someone; the person keeps mute while you express your opinion and explore every good things to your advantage. It causes overwhelming fear unreasonably to human and animals.

2. Eru

This is closely related to ‘Ijaya’. It means ‘Fear’. If ‘Eru’ is placed on someone, he or she will be afraid of you forever when around your vicinity. Most armed robbers make use of this to make their victims afraid of them.

3. Mayehun

Mayehun simply means ‘turn me down not’.  It is used when you want a person to grant your request after a command is made. Most men use it to woo a lady they really like but know she won’t agree to have  arelationship with them. Some people also use it when requesting money from a miser, tight-fisted friend or wealthy man. The Mayehun formula goes with a simple incantation.

4. Afose
This means ‘to speak and it happens’. It is an advanced form of ‘Ase’. It is usually prepared with black soap
and put inside an Animal’s horn e.g Cow’s, Antelope’s, Cow’ e.t.c Whenever Afose is used, the words spoken happens immediately or later in the future depending on the potency of the charm or the nature of the issue the Afose is addressing. Yoruba forefathers possessed some Afose to address nature elements such as rain, fire, outbreak e.t.c and on the negative size to curse.

5. Gbetugbetu

This is used to hypnotize people. When used, the person under the spell doesn’t really know what he is doing. It is used in compelling people to do the most impossible things. Things they would naturally not do or refuse to do. It is somewhat difficult to prepare but there are some simple formulas too, however they also vary in degree of potency.

6. Olugbohun

It is called the ‘sound picker’. This is believed to be a powerful spirit that picks whatever is said and makes it happen, if not immediately very soon. Most sacred spiritual places are always deserted because of this feature. No one gets angry because everything said in anger at that moment will come to pass no matter the magnitude, even if u mistakenly curse your children out of frustration. Now this is not a genie that will drop things physically in front of you, like food, wine and a flying carpet. However it will create a situation that will cause your request to be met. It is not kept in the house but far away in the bush and its consulted only once in a while.

7. Amudo

This is a charm used by men deliberately to have sex with a woman they think will naturally never want them to have it together.

Other Yoruba charms are: Aluwo, Egbe, Gbekude, Afeeri……Read more here.

Ifè: Three Yorùbá Songs U.S. Premiere in San Francisco

NORMAN CAHN

on August 6, 2015 at 6:00 am

It has been 81 years since the premiere of Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. The opera’s then-controversial cast of classically trained African American singers questioned the delicate sensibilities of many seasoned concert-goers. However, Gershwin’s work is one of many precedential pieces that define the music enjoyed today. The composer pioneered the fusion of genres—Porgy and Bess itself being a synthesis of jazz, folk song, and operatic arias and recitatives. As such, audiences can no longer follow the evolution of “classical” music through a strict European-tradition lens. It is thus fitting that the July 10, 2015 U.S. premiere of Angélique Kidjo’s Ifè: Three Yorùbá Songs began with selections from Gershwin’s seminal opera. Written in collaboration with American composerPhilip Glass, and performed by the San Francisco Symphony, Kidjo and Glass’s Ifedefies the stalwart conservatism of the “classical” genre, reflecting the triumphant cultural unity of modern times.

The Kidjo/Glass musical trilogy weaves three different Yoruba legends, sacred to the African kingdom of Ife. The three poems, sung by Kidjo in the Yoruba language, are accompanied by Glass’s iconic cyclical, repetitive orchestration. Kidjo’s soulful voice maintained its spotlight in San Francisco’s Davies Symphony Hall—at no point being overshadowed by the orchestra. Indeed, the symphony added a certain precision to the vocalist. Kidjo’s linguistic rhythms, arranged by Glass, intersect with the instrumentalists seamlessly, much like the soloist in a concerto.

Philip Glass – Photo Credit: Stephanie Berger

“Olodumare,” the first of the Three Yoruba Songs, represents creation—a deity responsible for creating the land. The number is a veritable fanfare, commencing explosively with rapid two-note oscillations in the strings. Kidjo is accompanied by a flute countermelody as she declares, translated into English, “There they are, together, lugging a bag on their shoulders. And from this bag a wondrous child is to be born, this bag must birth the World.” This bird-like woodwind timbre soars to carefree heights at the piece’s conclusion with rising arpeggiated figures that join Kidjo’s moving syllabic cries. The sense of togethernessemphasized in the lyrics palpitated in the audience. English-speakers (and those I assume were true Yoruba-speakers) raised their arms in approval, communally sharing Kidjo’s music.

“Yemandja,” signifying a feminine force and the mother of waters, follows “Olodumare.” The song is a slower, lyrical refrain from the first piece—a characteristic common with romantic violin concerto second movements. In particular, I was reminded of the second movement to Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. Similar to the Russian composer, Glass introduces Kidjo’s phrases with slowly ascending and descending passages in the woodwinds. However, the meter seems to alternate between 3/4 and 6/8, as the strings frustrate the rhythm with syncopated accents. The calm yet alternating pulse seems appropriate for Kidjo’s water-deity: all of the voices phase in-and-out of each other in flowing harmony. 

Angelique Kidjo

Kidjo concludes Ife with “Oshumare,” a piece embodying the rainbow snake that surrounds the earth, preventing it from falling. Those familiar with Philip Glass’s work will recognize the persistent repetitive figures featured in this number. Persistent staccato in the upper strings are punctuated by syncopated, irregular beats in the lower registers of the orchestra. This steady skeleton structure allows Kidjo’s repetitive proclamation of “Axe, Oshumare” (“I praise you, Rainbow Serpent”) to evoke the concept of perseverance.

Following intermission, Kidjo concluded her performance with selections from her repertoire, several of which appear on her most recent album, Sings. The vocalist, decorated in an array of colors, was a true image of liveliness. Kidjo engaged the audience, emphasizing themes such asfreedom, family, and, most of all, brotherly union through music.  At the conclusion, the performer left the stage to join the audience, microphone-in-hand, wading amongst her admirers. The crowd was ecstatic, as Kidjo embraced her fans. In all ways, Kidjo’s music transcends boundaries—we are all connected universally through song.

I was humiliated because of you, I dragged them to Aburi in other to secure your legal rights, I made an open declaration (Ahiara declaration) to make you a freeman not regarding the consequences, I was in the war front just to fight for what belongs to you, I froze my father’s wealth, all that my father and I labored for just to make you proud, my fellow brothers betrayed and sabotage me because of you, my name was turned to a fool and a greedy citizen because I want to show you the right part, I was tagged a rebel because of you, I cried when I see Biafrans dying because of kwashiokor during the war, I was in the maximum security for 10 months because of you, I went to exile dressed as a pro.st.itute and fled for 13 good years, without seeing my fathers land, I was rejected and dehumanized because of you and in all I didn’t regret it because all the sacrifice was being made for your freedom and I strongly believes that one day the sacrifice will speak for your freedom, I endured all these tribulations because of you, and I will never rest until you are free.

In a pomp filled occasion, Nigerians, Ghanians and other guests celebrated the 100 year peaceful legacy of migrant African Chief Brimah the 1st in Accra this weekend. Chief Brimah I who migrated to the Gold coast from Nigeria, passed in 1902.

The occasion was attended by Ghana's high chiefs, the Ga Mantse, a representative of the Nigerian High Commission among others. Addresses were given by the Mayor of Accra, Alfred Oko Vanderpuije the national Chief Imam Sheikh Dr. Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, Chief Brimah VII, other distinguished members of the Brimah family and invited guests.

As with all occasions of the Ghana Yoruba chiefdom, it was a day to celebrate beautiful African culture, integration and harmonious coexistence of interrelated cultures and the peaceful and progressive growth and development.

History

In the early 19th century, pockets of Yoruba’s from the old Oyo Empire and environs, migrated to the Gold coast out of adventure and in search for new habitation. Others went with trade in mind. The first group of Yorubas arrived in the Gold Coast around 1813 and initially settled in such places as Accra, Kumasi and Sekondi before moving to the northern part of the Gold Coast, especially Tamale, Wa, Lawra and Nandom.

There are several prominent families that left different parts of South-west Nigeria and settled in the Gold Coast. The Alawiye’s is one such large family. One of the noted migrations was that of Chief Ibrahim, whose name was later Anglicized to “Brimah.” He set out from Ilorin with a retinue which included Alhaji Girigisu, Alhaji Shaibu, Alawiye’s, and his two first children. They also traveled with a lot of livestock. Along the way they joined up with Nigerians from Kano. These Northerners preferred the north of Ghana and settled there while Chief Brimah I and company continued as a spiritualist had advised them till they got to the sea at Accra.

In the early 19th century, hundreds of Yoruba’s migrated to Ghana and many more are first, second and third generation citizens. The Yoruba’s are an integral positive part of Ghanaian society. Some have lived here so long and have gone through so many generations that the younger ones barely speak Yoruba.  Most however are able to speak 3-5 languages, Yoruba, Hausa, Twi, English and Ga. During conversations you find them switching from one language to another.

Chief Brimah I

Chief Brimah I formed the first settlement in British Accra, known as “Zongo,” where strangers who visit Accra settle. Hausa’s Fulani’s and Wangrans all settled in Zongo under this Yoruba king. Chief Brimah I came with his Cattle from Ilorin and where he settled was renamed Cow lane; this was the first settlement in Accra. He built houses and allocated some to friends and foreigners. Engaged in Kola nut trade between Nigeria and Ghana, supported by a wonderful businesswomen wife, he rose to a very wealthy status and was known for his philanthropy and generosity. Appreciating his qualities and for “clearing the forest,” his Royal Highness, the Ga Mantse, Nii (King) Tackie Tawiah I made him a Chief and gave him the “Sword of Office,” in 1888.

The first post office in Ghana was in Accra where Chief Brimah I built his palace on land allocated to him by King Tackie Tawiah I. The street was called Horse road, because Chief Brimah I kept horses and built a stable there. Chief Brimah I built the first Mosque in Accra at Rawlings Park with contributions from other Nigerians. The Mosque was built with Oak wood from a ship wreck. He also set up Arabic literary schools in Accra with the cooperation of the government. He built the first slaughter house in Accra. Now called Salaga market.

When the British came to the Gold Coast and they set-up the first running-water, pipe-borne water with tap. The locals thought this was juju (voodoo) and were afraid to open the tap. Chief Brimah I who was known for his faith and worldly experience was called, and after making prayers he “courageously” opened the tap. In the Ga council which governs Accra, he is one of the few with a seat on the council, which is occupied today by the current Chief in the lineage.

Quoted is a record of him from the Ghana Archives that describes the view of this Yoruba migrant in 1878-1899:

Alhaji Braimah’s position was unique. Not only was he a man of considerable wealth, but he had the advantage of having visited Mecca, an unusual experience for a native of these parts, and it was these conditions coupled no doubt with a certain degree of worldly wisdom that enabled a despised Yoruba to exercise control and influence over the Hausas.

I have the honor to be Sir, Your obedient servant.

Tabom Relationship

Tabom are repatriated Yoruba – Brazilian – Ga slaves. The Tabom are also part of the rich Yoruba history of Ghana. The word Tabom is traced to the repatriation of West African slaves from Brazil. The name is believed to be derived from the Portuguese greeting, ‘Es Ta Bon?’, ‘is all well?’ Some say Taa means “tomorrow,” and bom means “good,” the word coming from “good-morning.” Taboms, use Yoruba words in cultural rituals in the Tabon Mantse Palace. These words, which include “Sango,” have been passed on from generation to generation over the past 170 years since the arrival of the slaves.

Revolutionaries

The history of the Tabom who were returned to Lagos and the Gold Coast, entails the historic great “Malê Revolt” in Brazil. “Malê” originates from the Yoruba description of “Islam” as a “tough,” faith, “Imale”. Following the Haitian revolution which led to independence of the Island, the Malê Muslims in Portugal likewise plotted a revolution. Possible sabotage compromised their attempt at freedom; however they fought a brave fight. At the end of it, the colonialists killed some Malê, flogged and imprisoned others and deported many more out of fear of their capacity to revolt. They also instituted forced conversion to Catholicism. The Malê Revolt is considered a major turning point in Slavery in Brazil, contributing to its end. This is the history of the repatriation of Tabom to Ghana and the Aguda to Lagos.

The Taboms brought Gas the well-digging, irrigation, tailoring, shoe-making, masonry and using blocks for structures to Ghana. The Morton Tabom family headed the First Scissors House in Accra, which was the first tailoring shop in the nation’s capital.

The Taa-bon occupied “Engleshi,” now called Brazil Road. One repatriate, Mamman Nasir is said to have arrived in the Gold Coast in 1836 with his cousin Adjuma.  His first generation descendant was Fatima Peregrino. The Ga State King had Fatima Peregrino marry Chief Brimah I, the first Head of the Islamic community in the Gold Coast colony as a show of appreciation.

Fatima’s brother, Francis Zaka (F.Z.S) Peregrino traveled to London and then to South Africa. During Nelson Mandela’s visit to Ghana, in his reply to President Jerry Rawlings’ welcome address, he referred to F.Z.S Peregrino, an editor and publisher in America and South Africa, as one of the singularly courageous Ghanaians who joined forces with South African congress to fight Apartheid.

Descendant Chief Brimahs

A series of Yoruba chiefs have since occupied the throne. Late Chief Brimah VII, Aziz Brimah is well known for his being among the 375,000 Africans who volunteered to fight with the Allied forces in WWII; as part of the “forgotten 14th army.” He was commemorated by the Queen of England memorial gates trust as one of the brave Africans to go fight the Japanese in Burma. Late Chief Aziz Brimah and a hand full of other veterans led a protest for the liberalization of Ghana from Colonial rule. This led to Ghana’s independence in 1956, and subsequently the independence of all West Africa.

Chief Brimah VII

Current Chief, Brimah VII is Nigerian Ambassador (rtd) MBP Brimah, who was coronated in 2009. He served with the Nigerian Ministry of External Affairs till 1985 when he retired at the termination of the then Muhammadu Buhari government. He was a member of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) Commission of seven (7) on Sanctions against Apartheid South Africa which toured the Republic of Zambia, the Republic of Botswana, and the Republic of Lesotho in South Africa. He also served on the OAU Commission of fifteen (15) on Refugees in July 1980, which visited the Ogaden, the Ethiopian War Zone.  Later, posted to Geneva, Switzerland, in December 1980, in higher capacity as the Deputy Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the United Nations, he served on the United Nations Committee on Disarmament and on the on the United Nations Commission on the Laws of the Sea. He retired voluntarily in 1985 with rank of a full minister (Ambassador). In 2008 he was appointed by the UN as Honorary adviser on African Human rights and War Refugees.
