Wow, I really am short of words

Na so our brother becomes an ex convict.

Atiku talking about "fraud"

I remember the book written about Atiku by Obasanjo

Zooposki:
Disturbing the peace of decent folks. Meanwhile na them dey commit atrocities pass. Foolish religious folks. Na scammers, drug pushers, ashawos etc full there.

Slavery and Christianity are two separate things

Raf4:
You're still wrong.
Until the most senior in Balogun line is crowned now it can't move to Otun line.
If anything happens to Olakulehin b4 his coronation (God forbid), it won't go to Ladoja/Otun line, but the Otun Balogun will become Balogun and then be crowned as the Olubadan. But if Olakulehin is crowned today and something happens to him the following day or even some hours after his coronation, then Otun ie Ladoja will become Olubadan.

Thank you for this .

I now understand clearly what is going on.

Each person is fighting for his selfish ambition.

adioolayi:
No correct.

For example,

Oba Yinusa Ogundipe Arapasowu as Olubadan of Ibadan land.
He ascended the throne from the Civil line.

He has:
High Chief Omiyale as Balogun Ibadan
High Chief Oiawale Kuye as Otun Olubadan
High Chief Odulana Odugade as Otun Balogun.

Because Oba Yinusa came from civil line, High chief Kuye was promoted to Otun Olubadan..the Balogun line remains unchanged.

After the demise of ObaYinusa Arapasowu, Chief Omiyale, the Balogun of Ibadan was supposed to be the next in line... unfortunately, he passed on before coronation..

The crown moved back to the civil line...Chief Olawale Kuye was next... unfortunately he also passed on..

The crown moved back to military line..that's why the Otun Balogun, chief Odulana Odugade became Olubadan..from Military Iine.

Chief gain promotions from their line and the late Oba Lekan Balogun became the Otun Olubadan...so, he became the next Olubadan from civil line.

Now that he passed on..the crown moves to military..if the next chief is unable to..it goes back to the civil line

I love your analysis but this current situation seems different.

The other high chiefs, from your narration, did not become Olubadan because they passed on, and the crown moved as a result.

In this case, the high chief who is meant to become olubadan is still alive but supposedly not fit medically. It is different.

The question, does the olubadan charter envisages this situation. If no, court might make a determination in this regard.

My guess so.

Agunesinjaweola:
I've spent my entire life in Ibadan and if only I have managed to become a *MOGAJI* I would have been hopeful to become Olubadan in the first 🥇

You can't if your father is not from ibadan.

How can you be a "Mogaji" when your father is not from Ibadan.

PresidObi:
Is this befitting enough?

No.

I believe they could do better.

From the article, this is the quote that will save Air Peace:

"According to him, what would save Nigerian carriers was patriotism as well as government support"

The questions are:

1. Are Nigerians patriotic enough?

2. Is Nigeria Government ready to give Air Peace all the support it needs?

Difrent:
The bolded part is the feeling that's making Baba behave like this but Certainly he was wrong.
Shebi Baba first side he was opposed to the reforms because Ajimobi initiated it , why then did he still refuse the reforms when the Olubadan in council later initiated it and made recommendation to Makinde ....did Makinde also want to play Baba too? If so Why only Baba everyone dey play?
You are the uninformed on here and most likely one of those non Ibadan people making noise on matters they know little about.

This same Makinde criticized Ajimobi for intervening in Olubadan's arrangement. It was all in the news. The question you should be asking was why did Makinde support what he has criticized.

Ladoja knew the recommendation done by olubadan in council was not in good faith. He knew they did it to legitimise something in illegal, and he chose not to wear the crown. The same crown other high chiefs accepted.

Ladoja is not fighting to become the next Olubadan. He just wanted things to be done rightly.

History will remember Ladoja kindly.

Ladoja is the last of the old guard - very honest and principled.

The other high chiefs obviously do not like that. They lost their own respect when they went ahead to wear crowns, including the late king.

Ladoja stood with tradition and culture, defended the then Olubadan when other chiefs and the Governor (Ajimobi) ganged up against Olubadan. He spent his money in court to fight injustice.

Ladoja is a man of policy and he hates people that are manipulative to achieve their selfish interests. He is very intelligent as well. He is a straight shooter and that's why other chiefs do no like him. He understands the power of law and he uses it as a tool to defend himself .

Most people in ibadan are awaiting Ladoja's turn, when it eventually comes, as Olubadan. The whole of Ibadan will be engulfed in total happiness and celebration as they will reward him for his honesty.

All these attempts to scheme out Olubadan when his turn comes will be met with stiff resistance by the people. The other high chiefs will have the ibadan people to deal with.

For the other chiefs, history will not forget the way they acted .

He was a distant third.

Don't never forget that.

Come to osun and see what the governor is doing don't rely on what you read on nairaland.

Hope you track how much Osun has sunk in debt as well.

You need to track this thing that will negatively impact on the lives of the children unborn.

My own is that no Osun state indigenes should open any thread to complain about Adeleke.

You saw how low quality he was before you voted him - you are stuck with him for the next few years.

I am not a member of any political party but if this is the best Osun can produce as a Governor, then deal with it.

pafun:
So I should insist on buying at 1000$ even though someone else offers me for 700$ Because I want to buy Nigeria? Let me first consult ifa.

This is how you will kill your country.

That gain of 300 USD, the whites will still take it back from you in multiple folds.

When they kill Air Peace on that route, they will jack up the ticket price to the extent that they will recoup all their losses.

What does it take to be patriotic? Why do we find it hard in this country?

We should be thinking of making the route less lucrative for these foreign airliners to the extent they will leave the route. You will see more Nigerian billionaires springing up with airlines to ply the route.

Why do we have to support foreign airlines that will be depleting our foreign reserves at every point in time, and Nigerians are quick to demand 1USD to be equal to 200 Naira.

How can this be with our unpatriotic attitude?

[quote author=ryloy post=129354270][/quote]This is the time Nigerians need to show patriotism irrespective of tribes.

Air Peace needs us to stand by it irrespective of how cheap foreign airlines is.

These foreign airlines have been ripping us off by locking cheap tickets. They suddenly turn father xmas pushing cheap tickets into our faces.

Air Peace won't request dollars in exchange of naira from CBN for ticket sales.

I am a Yoruba man and if you love Nigeria, Air Peace needs all of us.

Super Falcon rode their luck today.

Thanks to our keeper, SA would have beaten our girls.

It was a nervy match , and they put the falcons under immense pressure but grateful we triumphed.

God bless you

A certain church account might be involved.

Nigeria has recovered 30bn naira ($24m; £19m) as part of an ongoing corruption probe into a suspended minister, the financial watchdog says.

The funds were traced to more than 50 bank accounts, it said.

Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Minister Betta Edu was initially suspended in January over the alleged diversion of $640,000 of public money into a personal bank account.

President Bola Tinubu then ordered an investigation into her ministry.

At the time Dr Edu, 37, denied any wrongdoing. Her office said she had approved the transfer into a personal account, which was not in her name, but said it was for the "implementation of grants to vulnerable groups".

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said during its nearly six weeks of investigating so far, it had found "many angles" to examine.

"As it is now, we are investigating over 50 bank accounts that we have traced money into. That is no child's play. That's a big deal," its chairman Ola Olukoyede said in the latest edition of the agency's monthly e-magazine, EFCC Alert.


He urged Nigerians seeking redress to give the agency time to finish its probe thoroughly.

"We are exploring so many discoveries that we have stumbled upon in our investigation. If it is about seeing people in jail, well let them wait, everything has a process to follow," he said.

The EFCC chairman gave an assurance that the recovered funds were "already in the coffers of the federal government".

The suspension of a minister is a rare occurrence in Nigeria.

Stop talking ignorantly…
America owes no country a dime…..
What a lot of ppl call debt is actually called US TREASURY…. It’s kinda like a bond or shares. America being stupendously rich and having a unique economy allows qualified countries to invest in their economy. This is how china, Japan Canada etc were able to invest in the American economy and then America is said to be indebted to those countries, Not that America borrowed any money from those countries. America did those countries a Favour by allowing them invest in their economy.

People won't simply take you serious in this forum.

You are ignorant (trust me, I was not being condescending).

This subject matter is beyond you, sit it out.

ovie8200:
Let those keep up generalizing that USA owe China trillions. Américan trillions debt is owe within América which are domestic debt. I meant USA government owe it citizens that money by borrowing from their social security and others. Those who always pray for China to take over the world, let see how that happen soon. Many people will die of heart attack or be disappointed with this news.


Let me be laughing, hahahahahahaha >: .

Don't be ignorant please

What you put down up there shows you don't understand how it plays out.

sslcrypt:
ironic they are all wealthy countries. why the ones that owe china are poor countries.

Do you know why,? Let me break it down for you using layman explanation.

US always borrows to finance her economy and fight wars. So they might say we need to raise 2 trillion dollars. Some rich countries will come together to give them money. China does that a lot. Then US will give them "IOU" in form of bond or Treasury security.

US will keep paying heavy interest on this loan. When that countries want to claim it's principal, it will resell that debt to other countries. US debts are lucrative because US pays high interest and they have never defaulted.

Anytime you hear that US wants to raise the debt ceiling, this is what they do.

You will be wondering why China is buying US debts. It serves as additional income for them as US keeps paying large interest on it.

US owes Japan the largest money, follows by China.

On the other hands, China has what is called "Road and belt initiative". This is a strategy where they will invest in form of infrastructure in poor countries, and the countries will be paying back.

In summary, it is only rich countries, who has excess, that can afford the US bonds and Treasury while it is only poor countries that are targeted by China for its initiative.

God1000:
Hmm, so china is owing US this much and not the other way round.

Well, this will finally address the debate and misconception

US owes china staggering amount of money 859.4 billion dollars.

US owes other countries as well.

Total US debt is 34 Trillion Dollars.

US is the largest debtor in the world

Countries don't owe like individuals. If I owe you 100 naira for instance and you you are to.pay me 500 naira, you will end up paying me 400 naira because you would have deducted the 100 naira owes to you.

Countries don't operate that way.

Local league is not worth investing in.

Where were you during the times of Abiola babes, Leventis, Rangers, IICC - The rivalry was a thing of beauty.

Man U, Chelsea etc play in their own LOCAL league too, and many of you who gains nothing from it, always follow it passionately.

Grow your local league too - that is where you can have some direct benefits.

shortgun:
What do you mean by the bolded? Is government now operating in secrecy like a cult?My criticism is largely influenced by my personal experiences.
I am a contractor and I can tell you for free that if you don't know someone who knows someone who knows someone, no matter how viable your proposals are you will never get any contract awarded to your company. Same thing happens in government recruitments.
We cant continue this way

You don't have inner working in this particular instance. You based your write-up on your past experiences.

Cut this govt some slacks and be cheerfully optimistic.

I was not disputing your experience but not relevant in this particular scenario.

shortgun:
A country where our natural resources doesn't end up the pockets of select few at the detriment of the people.
A country where every citizen is given an equal opportunity and an impartial platform to thrive irrespective of their ethnicity, religion or political affiliations.
A country where political office holders obey the rulings of our courts and the constitution reigns Supreme.

Nice.

Don't you think that undermining every decision made by FG, without having inner working knowledge, is quite unfair ?

shortgun:
Nonsense!
Instead of making the existing clinics and hospitals functional Tinubu wants to spend scarce resources on training some imaginary people just to create an avenue to loot our national purse.

As a Nigerian, what do you actually want ?

Nairaland - a forum where the first to report ALWAYS win

Man Utd, Spurs and Chelsea will derail Arsenal dream.

Advantage Man City.

It depends on the class you book and the date.

You have to compare likes to likes

Did you hear from the wife before passing judgement?

Stop demonising women - we have them as mothers, sisters and daughters

You wont see Falana taking such states to court demanding such should payment should be stopped.

Why do govt - both states and fg - keep using our hard earned savings to send people to pilgrimage.

Is Nigeria no more a secular state?
