Romance / Re: U.K. Based Lady In Shock After White Man Asked To Split Bills On A Date (Video) by Mccullum: 8:45pm On Dec 09, 2023
mrrandomguy:
She thought that her waist beads a.k.a. ileke idi will work on the oyinbo man like it does on the Nigerian men whose destinies have been locked in prisons in the marine kingdom.

In the past, waist beads was common among Northerners, villagers or local girls, and aṣewo. Almost all women of all culture, tribe and status now wear waist beads. It was not so before. Even sophisticated Christian women, Yoruba and Ibo women now wear it.

It has become so rampant nowadays that about 18 out of 20 women have it on their waist.

Men/boys will say "I cannot marry or date or have sex with a lady that is not wearing waist beads"...

But those who understand the times and seasons will know that this trend they call fashion is not ordinary. It is from the marine kingdom!


To all Nigerian men who have slept with waistbead wearing women, surrender your lives to Jesus Christ and be saved.

Not all diabolical, it simply African fashion, attaching Africa traditional fashion is not right.

You may dislike it likewise me but that doesn't mean I'll condemned it in totality.

Emotional tactics doesn't work with government, most of us Nigerians prefer to takes government rules and regulations for granted.

But when it happened, we'll be playing emotional strategy of being victim of the circumstances.

You talk about the money but not talking about the business and investment benefits it'll bring to Nigeria in return.

Is like when insensible person lamenting on how much invested in business while ignoring the gains that money invested will brought back to its investment which may not be immediate but gradually the gains is guaranteed.

Why won't they surrendered when they knew that all boys and men of Palestine are fighters to Israeli forces, for them not

to be killed, it's best option for them to surrender pending when madness of Israeli government will cease.

This is not war, this is invasion, war against those that has no standing armed forces like army, navy and air force.

Is that war? example of war is that of Russo-Ukrainian war where both had everything to match each other on int'l rules of war.

Don't mind Oba of Benin, with all logical analysis, it's very obvious that Benin can't be the founder of anywhere in Lagos.

If he said that Benin invaded Lagos and established monarch, it'll have been more common sensical and it won't make any sense to debunk such.

YES, you are right. If he is interested in Security, he would have been in Sambisa Forest fighting Boko Haram with Juju and hunters' gun.

Ogun go kill una Mama. If you like, you can wipe out your whole generation, we Yorubas are only interested in Owambe Parties, and the City Boy is just doing as we want. If your useless son Muhammadu Buhari who calls himself a Major General could not fight Boko Haram, Bandits, Kidnapers, e.t.c., is it the City Boy Emilokan Tinubu that will fight them?

Expect more bombs to be dropped anywhere at anytime. Your population is too much. We will reduce it. E no go better for all of una

Why you can't express your self with your ethnic identity, why you responded to an issue under disguise of being Yoruba, you even using 'we' as if you represented one Yoruba group.

It's act of hypocrisy and creation of confusion. Very ridiculous and idiotic expression.

It's inhumanity against humanity, you don't even sober for the departed souls, Yorubas are civilized people. They can't reacted on such issues as you did.

Go and lick your wound of sorrows that led you to this act of barbarism.

Their major aims and objectives are for the sustainability of their regimes. They've tasted power, they don't want to leave it again.

When ever they decided to relinquish the power, they'll be involved in formulation of political parties, contested and won.

These are main ambitions under the camouflage of the proposed confederacy. It might some how be beneficial to their populace if there's sincerity of purpose.

He didn't mention that of zamfara where APC lost all political offices to PDP,

He didn't mention that of Bayesa State when Lyon lost in court to Diri.

But only mentioning where other parties lost cases.

Kperogi is emotional with his opinion and being economical with truth, court may not accurate in all their judgements as there are bad judges as he observed.

Court is a place of common sense, it's not the fault of the judiciary on the failure of politicians and political parties to follow right rules and regulations of electoral processes.

Politicians should do the right thing, it's duty of the Court to correct wrong once complaints brought before her. It's not about being emotional, it's about evidences presented.

And where did the bight of Benin get its name from ?
Notice that the maps which I presented predate the French colonisation of Dahomey !
You can clearly see that the map is that of Benin kingdom ! Apart from "Kingdom of Benin" being written on it, the geographical position of it is clearly not that of Dahomey ! Are you blind ?
This map is from 1747 !! Dahomey was not a colony as of yet !!!!!!!

This is what I hate with Nigerians, you guys know nothing but you just believe you know better. You believe you are actually a professor.
You see "Benin kingdom" written in front of your eyes and you think it is Benin Republic 🤡
In the date of publication of the document there was no such thing as Benin Republic, but you still believe it is magical time traveling Benin Republic🤡

It is amazing that you don't understand that in a PRE-COLONIAL map of Africa, there is no such thing as "colonial Dahomey which the French first called Benin".

Do you by any chance understand a little bit better what I have to deal with when talking to complete ignoramuses like you ?

🤡!!!!!The French colonized Dahomey in 1883 !!!!!!!!🤡

Empire in the sense of large Kingdom. You Nigerians focus on words in a not very smart manner.

How can I make this clearer to you: the oldest eyewitness written records show Lagos as being part of a country called Benin kingdom or Benin empire ruled over by the Oba of Benin !
You are here taking about "indigenous" as if you have a magical document to define what that is, whereas I am giving you evidence but somehow you still believe your magical "indigenous" talk is a better argument.

You people lie too much, you're not making anything clear, you're deceiving your self.

The colony was at first called Benin (from the Bight of Benin, not the precolonial kingdom of Benin, which is in Nigeria), but in 1894 it was renamed Dahomey, after the recently incorporated kingdom. From 1904 Dahomey formed part of the federation of French West Africa, under the governor-general in Senegal.

It is annoying how you guys know basically nothing at all.

You guys just go around talking fairytales and thinking you are talking history.

Benin Republic which was formerly called Dahomey names itself after us, and you in your ignorance proceed to change our name to "Bini" ?
When your son names your grandchild after you, does that mean you need to proceed and change your name?

Eyewitness writen precolonial text stating clearly that Lagos belongs to Benin:

"Captain Horseley called it Eco, and that is how the yebous refer to it; but it is not their land: it belongs to Benin, whom have named it Korame, you can recognise the Curamo from older Portuguese reports, just like Eko represents the Ichoo from Holland Hydrographs. Long ago Korame was linked to its metropolis by a very narrow piece of land contained between the great Laguna and the sea; but it has been a while since the Yebous have seazed that very narrow piece of land of which the eastern extremity was invaded by ouyo pirates; and Karamé remained isolated at the extremity of the great Laguna, while it continues to receive from Benin it's governor or political chief."

neither the aworis nor the binis can lay claim to the entire Lagos, the aworis had their territory in Lagos the binis also had their territory, Lagos is a state just like osun, just like you have the Ooni of ife who governs the ife territory of osun state, there are also other traditional rulers in the same osun, you can't come today and claim the ancestors of the Ooni founded osun state they only founded ife, same can be said about Lagos and how you guys always try to make it look like the aworis controlled the entire Lagos, the binis also had their territory, which means the oba isn't wrong.

Bini didn't own any part of Lagos. If truly Bini had any part in Lagos, why no single part of Lagos state speaking native language of Bini?

Egun people has little part of Lagos in Badagry as small as that part is in that local government, egun still speaking their indigenous language.

Where is that of Bini in Lagos state.
