How did Igbo get to the SW in the first place?

Your people have always been refugees in the SW since 1900. After the war, they came back to the SW on their own like they’ve always been.

If you think I’m lying, check your people in the North. As much as the Fulanis always deal with them, they all keep going back to the North.

Even when the Arewa guy gave a quit notice, your leaders went on their knees to beg to stay.

I endorse this message

irunoko:
that is why education is inevitable


This ignorance needs to stop. the fact that nigerians have been ignorantly carrying ridiculous names and titles for 50 years doesn't mean it's right.it makes you a laughing stock outside the country

Ogbeni, any country in the world that send pilgrims to Mecca use the prefix Alhaji. In US its called Elhadj. In UK its called Elhajj.

Start a campaign on Al Jazeera to educate the world to stop using Alhaji because it means stranger.

Thats more noble than saying nonsense and poking nose in post not addressed to you.

googi:
MP,

If you give that much to Omo Ibini what and how will you interpret

AROMIRE

which was interpreted as Admiral.

They are both attributes of mastery on the sea.

Thanks.

I cant believe Nigerians shunned owambe. Whhattt!!

Was this not the guy with bill for bokoharam to go school abroad?

mmb:
he should have atleast cover his nose with his palm while sneezing

He will later shake someone with that palm. Tufiakwa!

poshestmina:
Please fly them all to Gwagwalada or Wuse with the presidential jet since no more abroad treatment .

Dem go import doctors from abroad...

Im just joking o....

tatatar:
More than 95% of topics in this section is about coronavirus

Amotekun is coming to a cinema near you soon...

Innoson has a brand. He should stick with it.

He can invest in a mask and ventilator manufacturing plant as a separate venture and under different brand name.

He will ruin his Innoson brand when he turns it to jack of all trades.

3M is one of the biggest household item producers in the world. Their facility and machinery can be multi-purposed and turned into car manufacturing plant. They do not because "brand has value".

Innoson should not ruin his brand....set up a new and separate brand instead.

Bukfab:
Dis is iyana ipaja o

Im proud of NURTW, see as illiterate professionals show competency in forecasting, far above educated professionals faced with similar challenge.

Eko for Show!
Eko o gba Gbere!!

irunoko:
but you are insisting he should be called "stranger" does that make sense to you?

Alhaji MC oluomo=stranger MC oluomo


Is he a stranger in nigeria? Isn't he a Nigerian?
.. illiteracy! This is one of the reasons we say go to school.have a university degree at least

Illiteracy with money will make you look like a fool

In fact I taught Nairaland (culture section) that Alhaji = Alejo, and Umrah = Imura. So you are preaching to old choir.

The person I addressed knew where I was going, and you are less educated to naptu. I cant understand your stress over the term.

You are not going to stop use of Alhaji in Yorubaland....just as you will not stop people naming their children Peter, equivalent of Apata.

Ejire ara Isokun is a cognate to the "twins of Isaac".

Wetin you wan teach me about Alhaji, I taught the cognates between semitic and Yoruba. Go to Culture Section and check me out.

irunoko:
alhaji in Arabic means stranger..

Why are you NIGERIANS so obsessed with titles that you don't even know the meaning before happily asking to be called by funny titles.smh

Its Yoruba version is Alejo. I know.

MC Oluomo na Alhaji, no be me give am....na hin adopt the title.

grandstar:
Even oluomo dey give directive!

What's funny is that these drivers, majority semi literates, will take this directive seriously and to a very good extent comply.

Contrast this with the contempt these so called. Men of God have disobeyed a directive from the government not to open their places of worship in order to contain the virus.

A virus carrier in South Korea is responsible for 5,400 infections in that country.

How? She went to 2 church services and a social event. She's responsible for 60% of the cases in that country.

A church service at Winners Chapel is the equivalent of at least 50 church services elsewhere. Worse, learnt they hold 4 services in one day. That means those leaving one service will definitely come into contact with those coming for the new service.

We might be in deep poo

Its time to redefine illiteracy!

In times of trial like this we begin to see what people truly are.

blasted12:
He's right. Now is the time for the fake miracle pedelling pastors to do their thing

Yes...instead of telling women to pull off their panties and bra for miracle.

They should tell COVID-19 to pull off its panties for a miracle....

Citytrend:
You're equally mocking the Muslim Imans sir as well as whichever god your Mum & Dad believes. So be careful so

No, not true! This is strictly a pastor trade!

Give name of an Imam that promotes miracle healing.

In contrast, muslims will tell you anything that happens to them is will of God and they accept it.

WHO has declared the virus a PANDEMIC. In addition, it issued a Public Health Notice of International Concern.

By "defying" the notice from WHO and from FG it means....unlike in other states, Cross River will be litigated if anyone in the state falls sick or dies from the virus.

Lawyers would be happy to use Cross River for personal enrichment.

Yeeepa! Defile ke!!!

Its time for miraculous healing and power prayers. FAAYAAHH!!!


This thread is anointed, becareful what you say here.

Naptu,
Its time i begin sell water and soap at motor park.

Oga, abeg put Alhaji infront of Musiliu next time.

otipoju:
You'll be surprised that these guys are better organized than the Federal Government.

They know the value of money, defending their territory and enforcing discipline among their rank and file and dont talk anyhow.

Very true.

Where is the ring Gburugburu gave to her?

Banmeallday:
Looks like this one has gotten Coronavirus.


SOOOOOO,


You just allowed Biafra to be disturbing your mind of all things to think about...

Have you wondered how to improve Nigeria economy....the answer is no
Have you wondered how to settle the striking doctors....the answer is no
Have you wondered how to deal effectively with Boko Haram....the answer of course is no
Have you wondered how to improve Women soccer team that has not played a single game since last Women’s World Cup......no you have not
Have you wondered the legality of Amotekun or whether such approach is good for the Westeren region/Oduduwa states....no you have not
Have you wondered how to improve the already dilapidated healthcare system for you or your favorite Hausa men? Nope you haven’t

You are a Nigger and Niger Delta simply means NIGGERS in a delta, and coined by the British and sustained by the Fulani to deceive you

Biafra itself comes from Ijo.......Ijaw if you dont know.....yes, IJO.....

And so many of them say to hell with the Nigger Area

Afonja!!!!

Ayebagbalinyo:
In the name of whatever you people believe in, you people planning to separate this blessed country Nigeria will not WORK out.

Igbos you are fighting for separation?

Let me tell you the truth,the front line fighter are selfish and greed people, they are doing it for their own benefits not for the common Igbo man.

Please in the name of God please don't put Niger Delta States in your selfish fight oh.

For me instead of to follow an Igbo man I rather follow The Hausa man.

Afonja!!!

2prexios:
Very well bro.

Vertical from generation to generation, horizontal by how the custodians of oriki has spread and improved upon the information handed down in their new abode.

What I've found so far is that oriki has proven to be scientific: it's a tradition built on cogent and genuine information. Then it's a guide.

When the students are ready then the teacher will appear.

The place names you've listed are the group that formed what became known as Yoruba today. Ife, Ado, Cutonu (meaning perilous mariners), Ilesha, Oyo etc, in no particular order.

From what you have posted, we'll re-exermine some words that can be considered stickers because they've stacked on since inception.

A good instance is Iwase. Its the best way to start, hence I've keep track with it. I will be back.

Eletu Iwase is one of four Eletus in Lagos.

Eletu Odibo - Prime Minister
Eletu Kekere - Lesser Minister (title is dormant and has not been used long time)
Eletu Ijebu - Ijebu Minister
Eletu Iwase - Iwase (Migrants) Minister.


Lagos does not have a Balogun. The equivalent is an Olorogun (Olori Ogun).

Olorogun Ado (wrongly called Adodo) would be the war commander of Ado.

Outside Yoruba proper, there are two Ados, one East (Onitsha) and one West (Dahomey).

Olorogun Ado was the commander at the West fort in Dahomey, and one of the titles replicated when Olofin brought Asipa and settled him on Aromire's land.


The Lagos Royalty have had two dynasties so far. The first ended with Akinsemoyin. The current one started with Olorogun Kutere.


Why is he called Olorogun Kutere? It's a noble title.

He inherited this title from his Ijebu maternal grandmother, Olugbani, who was the daughter of an Ijebu nobleman.

Same happened to Eshinlokun. His father, Olorogun Kutere, married from an Ijebu noble family. The mother gave her son, Eshinlokun, her lineage title of Asajon.

All the bloodline descending from the first and second dynasties can bear Olorogun but only the descendants of Eshinlokun can bear Asajon. This is how Kosoko ended up as the Asajon of Lagos.


In all of these we see that the Oba of Lagos throne is triangulated - their bloodline is Benin/Ijesha on father and Ijebu/Whydah on mother.


The Ijebu and Whydah roots feature prominently in their Orikis...it highlights their alliances and relationships over time.

Many countries have shut down gyms and athletic facilities. This means athletes' schedules are impacted. In fact some competition meets have also been cancelled since travel ban prevents world class atheletes from participating.

Canada and Australia are not sending athletes to Tokyo.

It is highly doubtful Italy, Iran, US, China and France would.

Should IOC pull the plug and move the 2020 Olympics date forward?

Even if he set a date now nobody go show up. The whole town is practising social distancing.

Wait after corona...

1,000 more death in 24hrs!

Over 30,000 new cases.

What is deep in this message?

OP, where is the depth in his message? Nothing he says here stirs the soul into awakening.

You were bamboozled into taking his articulation of english language for inspiration of spirit.

Did he travel commercial or private?

Abi which kin wahala be dis now?
