Ekt, don't mind Ileke's mischief. It was my error.

Ilekeidi owe me one!
Bak to point, ekt, if you want proof google has it for you. Here is the keyword:

Origin of western civi jurisprudence.

Ibebe-Idi, do not start any war this morning. Lol!

A typo! I also used a double negative in saying "forbade mohammed not to". But I didn't need to correct because people are smart and figure out the error and move on.

I'm glad the beautiful ladies, ekt and tpia asked.

Particularly, an interest derivative savings and loans system was the creation of the Jews.

It was frowned upon and condemned by God with injunctions in the Quran that specifically forbade Mohammed not to charge people interest on debt.

The law system we practice is also a direct derivative of the Judeo-Christian laws.

We did not change our law or banking ethos after independence to reflect indigenous customs.

Our native customary laws are not judeo-christian and are not islamic.

Our native savings and loan system does not charge interest on debts.

Since when did we, or any human society anywhere else on the planet, stamp an age limit on active participation in society and government?

We have too many backward educated donkeys in this our country!

The problem isn't what Ngozi approves or disapproves. The issue should be regarding religious sponsorship what does the constitution say?

Does constitution give Nigeria a religious status, in other words, is Nigeria a christian nation, a muslim nation or an Ifa nation?

If its none of these, then Nigeria has since independence been supporting and sponsoring a Christianity Banking.

Nigeria has been sponsoring and subjecting its citizens to a Christianity civil jurisprudence.

Has anyone thought about that when weighing the Northerner's demand for Sharia and Islamic banking?

“Let me say that the spate of insecurity that we have witnessed recently, including bomb explosions and violence in parts of the country is uncalled for.”


President doesn't think we can figure that out already?

What we can't figure out and need to know from him is what to expect. What's the plan of action to reinstate safety?

First, Gej should not have called out the Army to command a JTF to combat BH.

The Federal Police, regular and mobile units together, have more capabilities and arsenal for fighting and controlling urban guerilla attacks.

You don't engage a National Army in a domestic situation such as BH. National Army is for protection of sovereingty from external attack or an internal secession.

Moreover, a state of emergency has not been declared, so the involvement of Army is premature and uncalled for.

Whoever is our Commander-In-Chief of The Armed Forces is not employing security resources effectively and efficiently.

More important, the only time a military unit should be deployed is when the policy is aimed at a firearm confrontation with the target.

Once boots are on the ground all negotiation for political ending should be suspended until the Army has had time to flex its muscle and force the target to beg for a negotiation deal.

The enemy, and not Gej, should be the one demanding a deal. It is not in the Country's best interest to donate amnesty relief. The criminal has a lesson to learn and the vices of death must be tightened sufficiently enough that the reality of his error is registered in him and is forced to repent and beg for the relief.

I hope Senior military officers do not loose their cool with Gej's handling of this matter.

The more their guys in the field take casualty and fatality hit the eager they will be to quickly wrap the mission up. If it drags too long Gej's administration will loose focus and become unpopular, even among die-hard supporters. The weakness will be a vulnerability that can easily be exploited, not just domestically but even internationally.

We are lucky we don't have over ambitious Countries for neighbours.

The flow of resource for BH is coming from supporters of APC in both Sudan and Chad.
If the situation is prolonged and BH continues to thrive, it will be seen as a money making enterprise and may draw further recruitment from freshly displaced fighters from Libya to join with BH. With increased number and successes in fulfilling threaths, their opponents in the North will be cowered to fall in line and oppose the Federal Goverment, in which case they will want a claim to Abuja territory.

If this situation is not handled with speed, the fallouts in different quarters will crack and split the country faster than we are psychologically prepared for the end.

Is Ngozi God?


To the rest of Nigeria she is just human but to Ndigbo, she is super-human. I'm not sure they see her as God but I could be wrong!

In reference to the title, so you want to tell me the priests were going in those boys without rubber??

Ba shaka!

Kabila irin ka, me kasani game da al'adan mu?


Rhino, ba zage a cikin rubuccin da Maple ya yi maka.

Ka yi hakuri ka daina zage zage, ban ga amfanin zage iyaye anan ba. Ka ji ko?

Maple, ka da ka lura da zagin, manta da Rhino kawai! Ka ji?

Ibebe-Idi,

Se gbogbo e n'mi? Lol!

Now this is one area that forensic technology would do us gOod. To trace explosives and detonation residues.
But then again, na nigeria. Oguso is a carbon fuel cake and its residues on an innocent housewife may be misinterpreted as nitrates.

My friend if you have to read a book on lagos to know your roots in Eko, then you are not a son of the soil Jara.

We appreciate your sharing but don't confuse our history with inaccurate written records.

If the South-East’s demand for the chairmanship is met, it would see the zone sitting comfortably with four key positions in the polity, namely those of the Deputy Senate President, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Deputy Speaker of the House of Repr


Make it seven - the President is serving the SE slot.

Its either that or he has some experienced military aides.

Hold on, was this Zaid in the military?

He is using military manuals of some sort to formulate and plan his operations.

I have one observation where she said we shiould build more refineries.

What is the scorecard on the ones we currently have? Its possible that we need better efficiency on the existing ones to generate more revenue and jobs and save on cost of adding more, which could add to the inefficiency, plus carbon emissions penalty.

Thank u Maple for correction. I'm glad no one called me to name their child. Lol!

Cold,

Good Job posting that article. The author ia a great mind. There is a pattern and a "carrot and stick" association in the IMF interest in 3rd world countries. I think it would be correct to say IMF sponsors coups and assassinations.

Hey hold on,

<Quote> I will treat MEND, Boko, MASSOP, OPC - all of them with one standard.</quote>

Na who said this? Next time I see you include OPC in same categories with terrorists me and you no go see eye to eye o. Which kind nonsense be dis?

Look, this is not about igbo,yoruba or hausa, f, c.k these God forsaken people men! Gej should deploy forces to locate and dispatch a jet over their compound.

If they don't have a compound then sorround and arrest them and lock them up in an isolated special facillity somewhere out of population. Then you dispath MEND to go give them their own medicine.

No sacred cow no more! You shed blood your blood will be spilled!

Jara,

You have not told us where you got this account.

Some of what you say are accurate, others are not.

Please, do not take that as personal assessment of your narrative. Rather, I'm going with the knowledge that if you or myself read a book that contains inaccurate information, then we will become mediums of transmission and share that inaccuracy in our own narration to others.

Let me set it right that there are two classes of white cap chiefs in Eko.  I'm tempted to say Lagos but doing that will be wrong. We are not talking about Lagos but rather Eko.

The two are the land owners themselves - Idejo Chiefs. They descended from Olofin of Iddo.

Then you have the Bini Chiefs or Akarigbere.

I will need to update my bio-navigator but from what I can correctly recollect from the archive of my memory bank, there are three palaces on the mainland under the Oba Eko jusrisdiction. They are Oloto, Ojora, Odofin.

Oloto was located west of the Iddo rail yard on the embankment across from Leventis if you go North towards Ebute Meta. If you are on ijora causeway, it will be about a mile inroad and behind the old police training ground and barracks by the old NEPA coal power substation.

Ojora and Odofin palaces are one or two streets apart on almost the same axis on the main road behind the 7up bottling plant in Ijora. In fact, you go through an alley and you are in one from the other.

If anybody remember additional ones on the mainland please add.


Oshodi may exist in other Yoruba towns, but in its application to the Tapas, it borrowed from the Bini background.  The title was conferred by Kosoko on his war general, who had also served his father Oba Eshilokun and in fact Oshodi-Tapa was the first indigenous Nigerian to study in America.  
He was an emissary for Oba Eshiloku with the King of Portugal.

When Britain waged war on Kosoko, Oshodi-Tapa was stuck by his side loyally and went with him everywhere.  Whydah, Epe.

When treaty was drawn to end the war the British were not satisfied in the treaty and feared Kosoko would start another fight, so they built a palace and with a new title to console his spirit and stop him from waging war. That's how he came about the title Asajon of Lagos and relocated to Ereko. They could not leave Oshodi in close quarters with Kosoko because the two of them together were too volatile a force to let alone without something soon going down. So they sepaated them. Their last exile together was in Epe right before returning to Eko.

So Oshodi was relocated to what is now Epetedo. Kosoko demanded and negotiated into the treaty that Oshodi be given a Chieftaincy authority and a palace. Eager to satisfy both, the restored Oba Dosumu and the British authority, new on the land, agreed.


There are many new things I can share here for you. Some here, like tpia, are already familiar with my work on the subject.

There are many Yorubas who are misled about the true history and roots of the nation. I'm going to be very brief on this, we are talking about Lagos, not Yoruba roots.

If Awujale says he is not Yoruba, I will agree. If Ijesha say they are not Yoruba I will agree. Same goes for Edo.

But. . . .that's only if by Yoruba we mean an indigenous native that occupy the West and SW of Nigeria and a large poortion of territories going as far as Ghana.


However, if we reconcile Yoruba to its Canaan roots in Afro-Asia, then I should be comfortable in our identities as Yorubas.

I mentioned that Akin, Aken and Akhen are the same.

Akhenaton was a Pharaoh in Egypt, Akenzua was a King in Bini, Akinsemoyin was a King in Lagos.
Akenzua and Akinsuwa are the same name.

Yoruba Kings use Ade but rarely do they use Akin. Bini on the other hand uSe Akin and rarely Ade - I'm not even sure they do at all.

In studying Lagos or Eko history and tying it to Bini, we find that it is inextricably interwoven with Yoruba, which in its own right derived its root culture and words from old Hebrew, the language of the Canaanites, the ancestral hoomeland of the Jebusites, Edomites, Girgashites, Amorites.

I've seen this dama before!

The victory of Obama. He was the messiah America has been waiting on to get in Washington and "change America".

Obama even said he was going t change Washington.

Looking back, we see that Washington cvhanged Obama.
