Hmm nawao but I heard he's a lawyer

Obasa has a Masters in Law.

Why must he sit on that seat? Abi them don put juju for the seat and the guy catch the scope?

Obasa thinks he's talking to his constituents who he feeds stale bread. Insisting on a lawmaker sitting on a particular seat. What nonsense!

For clarity, the former is my initial User Id i use for Nairaland for years. The latter is a business Id i recently created mainly for this purpose.
Pls do u expect me to be posting my official work mail here?

So, you can't post your Taj Bank work email here but you want to collect funds from the public in the name of Taj Bank?

You can't paste your work email here but you want us to believe you work in Taj Bank?

I was telling some of my colleagues yesterday that Makinde could have handled this matter better. Even if you are doing the right thing, there's a way you'll do it and you'll end up being at fault.

This is the same Makinde that was busy fighting UCH management while the cases of Covid were rising in Oyo state. The same Makinde that allowed a mass rally at the outbreak of the virus.

I think Makinde needs to be more cerebral in handling matters and stop behaving like a kid. Social media is not everything.

Well, to each his own, let the dead rest in peace.

Ajanah has been Kogi CJ for close to 15 Years.
RIP to him.

This disaster Minister again?
Which kind woman be this for God's sake? Always in the news for the wrong reasons

No sensible PDP candidate should even bother to buy form. Don't dash Jimi Agbaje and Co your money.

They would eat your money clean, you'll lose election on Saturday and Jimi Agbaje would do thanksgiving on Sunday.

OP, let me help you blow this topic to front page for more diverse opinions.

Lalasticlala, kindly move this interesting thread to the front page for more views.

Go and read up on delayed gratification. Very important and I'm serious about it. I know of someone who owned a brand new 5 series and brand new 3 Series in 2007. As at 2011, he didn't even have a Keke na pepe.

Deep down, you know what you want to do, you're just looking for arguments in support. Whatever you decide, you would reap the benefits, not us.

I were you, I would invest in my business over a Benz. I can't engage in alcohol business cos of personal reasons, but if you open a bar in a good location with opportunity for car wash with asun, pepper noodles, shawarma, barbecue with chips and peppersoup on the side, the proceeds would buy you more than a Benz.

Gratitude is the key to greater blessings. Many people remain poor because opportunities have been closed to them due to ingratitude.

It is a good thing though. Let doors keep being shut in the faces of ingrate and let grateful people get all the opportunities.

Shebi it is thank you they didn't say. Your own is even better.

Open WhatsApp group and invite Oshiomole to tell you his story.

Damn. My son, don't let pride overwhelm you. you don't know me. Stay out of trouble son

Lol

egalitarianism:
Damn. My son, are you Jews? are you Jesus?

You have no answer to that and no answer to this. You should travel more and read more.

[s][/s]
Damn. My son, very Nonsense tradition. It has no basis and effect what so ever. It's mere superstition

Okay. Why were Jews buried in tombs back in the day? Even Jesus was buried in a tomb. Why was that so?

Olatara:
Fella wasn't an atheist, he just didn't do the Western and Eastern religion.

Thanks for the correction.

No vex, abeg gist me the story of the oke afa

Jan 27, 2001.
Extremely hot temperatures caused stored bombs to explode at Ikeja Cantonment. The sounds were heard all around Lagos. People at Oke Afa area tried running from one end to the other and because they saw seaweed cover the canal, they didn't know it was deep.

Eventually people sank in the mud and close to 2000 died in that canal but they couldn't recover all the bodies.

All bodies recovered were buried by the Lagos State Government just beside the canal. If you go there, there is a cenotaph there.

WakeNbaked:
It is not, you were talking about burial close to the river.

In traditional Yoruba culture, when someone is killed by water(drowns), it is believed that such person is killed by the water spirits and some rites must be performed to appease such spirits. Those rituals are water-based and interment beside the water is part of those rites.

This same thing is done in other parts of the world where they have largely aquatic settlements. Most even throw the person in water.

WakeNbaked:
Wetin dey go use take bath the boy?

The meaning is what you see on the front page.

WakeNbaked:
If water kill your child, na water you go use
T'omi ba p'omo e o omi na lo ma'lo

Do you know the meaning of this?

WakeNbaked:
How did you get that meaning from the song? That's far from the meaning.

Post the lyrics here let me show you something.

sonofElElyon:
speak for yourself and your heathen beliefs. most people in the world have abandoned such cave-like thinking. go and check the percentage of the world population that still believes such trash. what good have your gods ever done for you that you keep honouring them?
most importantly, what people believe is not the law. there is something known as the rule of law. it is illegal except with government permission which they did not seek talk less of obtain. condolences to the family of the bereaved

Burial is part of culture, Culture is part of religion. Interment is not globally practiced, some use cremation, some bury upside down, some hang from trees, some cover with rocks, some are thrown in the water.

I am a Christian but I'm educated enough to let you know that burial is part of culture and culture varies. After all, Jesus Christ wasn't interred in the ground, he was laid in a tomb. Lazarus also was laid in a tomb cos that was their culture.

So, the beliefs aren't heathen and the fact that you don't believe in something doesn't mean that you are more intelligent or of better standing than those who do.

As to Rule of law, who do you think buried them beside the water? Better go and get more info.
