Map of Africa published in 1747:

Most Nigerians think (Benin kingdom = Benin city).
They don't know that Benin city which was first referred to as Edda in earlier Precolonial maps is only the capital city of Benin kingdom which was a large precolonial country.

A very useless map. A map without the great Oyo empire. I'm certain the Oyo empire in the said 1747 controlled more land than the Benin empire.

I personally have no issues with the Oba of Benin. He is partly Yoruba himself by virtue of the first king we gave to the old Benin empire.

The Oba should focus more on developing Benin city to become a capital city they can be proud of considering their past greatness and not try to claim a more prosperous city belonging to his distant cousins. And if he is a hurry to start claiming cities, he should start with parts of Ekiti and Ondo states which were actually taken from the Benin empire by the Yorubas instead of a coastal city over 300km away from Benin city.

I didn't not know immigrants who settled in a very small neighbourhood (Isale-Eko) of the state can later claim to have founded the city-state. A very annoying claim that is disrespectful to someone like me whose both maternal grandparents and hence ancestors were both Aworis of Lagos origin. The Italians can as well claim to have founded New York City by just settling in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan.

Everybody is just trying to claim this Lagos sha. I wonder what stops them from creating "a Lagos" in one of their native states.

I have been meaning to ask something. Please is Sportybet aviator top bets real or a ploy to get users to play more?

Yesterday someone was playing it beside me and I could see the top bettor was staking over 300k per round. For the 7 times it was played, the top bettor didn't cash out for once. I don't believe someone will be foolish enough to lose over 2m in less than 3 minutes.

⚡Hamas releases footage of the second hostage exchange with Israel.

This time, Hamas released 13 Israelis and 7 foreigners, and 39 people were transferred from the Israeli side.

The way Hamas structures still seem intact is a bit suspect.

Are you sure these guys, including Israeli prisoners are not already in Egypt?

IDF have freed one hostage already.

IDF misinformation and propaganda. She was "rescued" after Hamas released a video showing three female hostages criticising Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

First IDF said Pvt Ori Megidish was "released". Later claimed it was a mistranslation issue and she was actually rescued. No further information has since been given on how she was rescued.

Second, On Israel's official list of Israeli prisoners held by Hamas, her name was not there.

Third, the supposedly kidnapped private made a Facebook post 5 days after her supposed kidnapping. The Facebook page has since gone private.

BTW,Hamas members must be really skilled in manicure

⚡"Hamas has released 25 hostages: 13 Israelis and 12 Thai nationals"

Still the most outstanding feat of this conflict is how despite invading Gaza, a tiny strip of land, Israel and their allies have not been able to gain intelligence on the whereabouts of even a single prisoner.

⚡Supporters of Kiev regime in Odessa found a way to defeat Russia.

They plan to disconnect it from Europe by digging, with EU money, a water canal between the Baltic and the Black Sea. After that, Russia will be separated from Europe forever.

The map is funny to me grin. So they expect Belarus, a Russian Ally to donate its land for a water canal to alienate Russia and in doing so, make itself a Pariah in Europe. I'm not even considering the newly independent states of Russia.


Might work for Latvia and Estonia though.

The BBC is keeping up with its pro-israel mandate. They could not air the fact that Israel has been arbitrarily detaining and holding Palestinian children as hostages.

In announcing the ceasefire agreement that involves the release of 150 Palestinians, of whom the majority are women and children, the BBC called them "teenage boys" and "teenage males" in different reports.

Another false accuser hoping to cashout.

If you're sexually abused as you claimed, why not file a criminal case so the accused can be punished by the state if found guilty. But no, madam decided to file a civil suit, counting on the hope that the actor would not want negative press even when innocent and decide to settle out of court.

First, Kogi is not the SouthWest.

Second, Iswap is basically an offshoot of Boko Haram.

Third, I think you misconstrue Southwest to mean Yorubas. Southwest is SouthWest. There are fanatics in Illorin and other parts of Kwara State which as far as I'm concerned is North Central Nigeria.

You are living in delusion. The two Nigerian guys who commited a terrorist attack in Britain were Yoruba.
Alqaida has a Yoruba branch, I've forgotten it's name, but it used to conduct many terrorist attacks during gej's mandate.
I see that your own angle is ethnocentrism. This is just an other form of extremism.

Correction; British of Nigerian descent. Both were born there, studied there, became extremists there. Never stepped foot in Western Nigeria to be imbibed in the culture, probably never even spoke the language. All of a sudden, you want us to claim them as ours grin

I have never never of any Al Qaeda branch in the SouthWest. Care to show any proof?

I don't know where you got the belief that I consider my culture superior. The only thing I said was I'm happy we don't have much religious extremists. We have extremists in other areas just not religious. And guess what, hundreds of other cultures across the world do not have religious extremists too including many in Nigeria.

All these kinds of miscalculations are what lead to brutal wars. Not being extreme enough to conduct murders shouldn't be seen as being cowardly. Otherwise, you are just inviting people to conduct murder in order to show that "they have balls".

That's their problem. They can decide to start killing each other for religious reasons. I care less as long as they don't bring that shit into Southwest. Religious liberalism is enshrined in our culture in the Southwestern states as evidenced during the last election so I have nothing to fear for my people.

We'll be there to analyze and contribute to threads if and when the Muslim and Christian extremists decide to finally engage in a battle.

@bolded that's a fact.

I also believe the overall christian population don't have that wish, but most of the Nigerian Israeli fanatics online wouldn't think twice if they somehow got the power to do it. As you said, their brains are totally intoxicated.

Far more Nigerian christians are religious extremists. The only thing they teach in their churches nowadays is money and hatred for people of other religious denominations, including other Christian denominations. The only problem is that most of them are cowards. They just do not have the heart and ability to do what Muslim extremists can do.

Muslim extremists are brutal and extremely violent. I was almost lynched myself in Nasarawa State (which will obviously be my last visit to anything North of Nigeria). Christians on the other hands while being extremists either do not have the heart to leave their families, riches behind and die for an unknown god or fearful of the repercussions from Muslim extremists who will react in a more brutal way. That's why most of Christian extremism is either done online anonymously or in closed spaces.

I'm willing to bet my car on the fact that not even one of the extremists and "death to all muslims" on this thread and nairaland as a whole is bold enough to say them on a non-anonymous platform such as Facebook.

actions have consequences.
nobody what civilian death but what is happening in gaza part of the bad decisions from gaza people.
when Hamas attack Israel the people should know there will consequences and condemned the attack immediately but no, some of them even takes part in looting while majority of them were happy, sharing sweet or whatever on the street.
what is AK doing in hospital? the doctors/UN knew the consequence yet they allow hamas to use hospitals, schools etc as base.

I hope you all will keep the same energy when the Nigerian Army reacts to IPOB attacks by bombing civilians, hospitals, homes, universities and residential estates in retaliation. I remember Operation Python Dance conducted by the Nigerian Army in 2017 in Abia state. The Igbos were quick to start calling UN, AU, EU, ECOWAS, CNN, BBC, US, NNPC, USD, NYC and every other abbreviation known to mankind.

Now it's funny how people who know the dangers of collective punishment will support the killing of civilians because they belong to the wrong religion. We'll be here if and when the "Fulani Army" like y'all call it decide to commit a genocide and massacre in reaction to attacks by IPOB and Niger Delta Militants.

You're even more foolish than imagined.

You want Hamas with less than 20k members to face an IDF army with over 500k members and an active Airforce. Lol.

Go and ask the British what happened during the Irish war of Independence when they invaded Ireland with over 50k soldiers with the IRA having less than 15k members. Of course, they destroyed and occupied Ireland but then the soldiers left to occupy Ireland were being picked off one after the other to the point that the British government started facing criticism at home and abroad due to the casualties.

Everyday the IDF is announcing the death of occupier terrorists and Gaza is fast becoming a graveyard for tanks whereas we have not seen the IDF capture any significant person or tunnel. Today they announced the deaths of at least two captains grin. That's two senior officers gone while engaging doctors and sick patients in an hospital and all they have to show for it is about 8 AK-47s cheesy

Who is currently watching CNN?

IDF commander brought CNN to show evidence of Hamas in a destroyed hospital. All he could show was an elevator shaft which the propagandist said was an Hamas tunnel, a supposed armory room with only about 5 AK-47 and that an Hamas commander lived there because of the presence of solar panels. Lol. Man was shutting down journalists from asking questions.

IDF is nothing. What else do you expect from an army that is accustomed to fighting children throwing stones. That's why they are bombing civilian homes, schools, hospitals and religious homes to keep the casualty numbers up. I'm sure Hamas members dead or injured are not up to 100.

The only thing great about the IDF is their Airforce, especially since most of its enemies are in the Middle East and have shitty Airforce and almost no air defense. Israel will be a walk in the park for Ukraine.

Arabs are very funny. They are angry at Hezbollah who represents only 25% of Lebanon and Iran (who are Persians) for not declaring war on Israel meanwhile their own government and countries do nothing, and the citizens of these countries do nothing to force their government to act.

Iran does not share any border with Israel but Saudi, Jordan and Egypt now act as Israeli air defense, shooting down missiles shot by Iranian-backed militias and bound for Israel. Then there is the actions of UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait in providing tacit approval to Israel.

Sensible people are protesting in UK, Germany, US, Canada etc. for Palestine. When will Arabs protest and demand action by their own government for their own kinsmen in the Middle East?
