If he came from the sky at least the story is consistent. It doesn't change with the direction of the wind.

Wind blows North. Oh, Oduduwa came from the sky.

Wind blows West. Oh, Oduduwa is from the sea.

Wind blows South. Oh, just found out Oduduwa is from earth.

Wind blows East. Oh, you know, just discovered that Oduduwa is from fire.

I'm telling you guys, you are more North Korean in every way and similarities than you are Jew, Egyptian, American or anything else you are yet to claim.

Lmao!! What's wrong, your snuff don finish?

Lamurudu came from Havillah, land of Queen Sheba. That has been written extensively and concluded.

Let us know if there are any more random claims for your ancestral roots.

I tell you what, have you tried North Korea?

Tell them you came from them. If they say no, tell them to compare the similarity in skin color, height, innovation, inclination to separate from parent country, inclination to blame others for your problems and inclination not to get along with your neighbiors.

I'm sure Jim Jong I'll will support your next declaration for Biafra.

African Americans don't have a clue who is their ancestral tribe. Igbos go lobby Americans for propaganda goals all in preparation for your next declaration of Biafra.

You have called yourself Jews and Israel has investigated it and ruled it out as impossible.

You now say you originated from Egypt and your pyramid mirrors the Egyptians pyramid. Jew labor was used to put up the pyramids. Who builkt yur pyramids, igbos or Jews?

You couldn't have been Egyptians and have the skills to put up the pyramid because the skillsmanship did not belong to the Egyptians.

If Jews put it up, then why did they not follow Moses across the sea? Was there something you did, as is typical of you, to make Moses banish you from going to the Holy land with him?

<Quote> And what traditional methods are you suggesting? Going to babalawo to look inside the televison calabash?  

We know that bullets killed him, but how do we trace the bullet to the suspect? Forensic can help match the striation of bullets found in the crime scene, to one of the suspect's gun's barrels.

Which identities are known? Can you tell us who killed Abiola? Can you tell us who attempted to kidnap Ondo's monarch?

Forensic is not only about fluids. OMG!!! No wonder you're against this. Until we get more education on forensic, then we'll continue to be in the dark. Foot prints left behind, tire tracks, soil on victim can be traced to a specific location then to a specific suspect, etc. Forensic is everything from chemistry to biology.

The forensic anthropology field is very broad and interesting. And no, that's not what I'm studying. But I'm very interested in the subject </quote>

I am not against your vision for everythign you say this advancement can accomplish.

My only concern is that its not a standalone success. A lot more comes with it that, with time, will invert the gains of its effectiveness and the dump its cost/benefit returns in the sewer.

On indigeneous, we seem, often, to conclude erroneously that indigenous is babalawo and nothing more.

The indigenous society had its own law enforcement system. It will be unthnkble to use those same standards to address todays situations but they had a framework we can use as template for a new blueprint of ideas, unique to our philosophy and lopcal to our control. At some point in our evoution we need to originate concepts and ideas, instead of copying, mimicking nd recycling.

Even FBI will admit if you press them enough to disclose, that in certain unsolvable crimes they recruited the resource of seance practitioners.

To do autopsy for cause oif death cannot be equated to cutting the cadaver open to retrieve bullets. The act itself is a commercial interest - a money maker for the municipal. That's one of the drawbacks!

Ileke, u r speaking to the ideal of an orderly society. Nigeria is far from being that.

The order must be created first, then the processes for sustaining and upholding them can follow.

Forensic is a process of sustaining an element of law and order.

Just because America applies forensi scence to fight crime does not mean we need that method to fight crime in Nigeria.

In the light of knowledge, we ought to be steering back to our own indigenous philosophies, not dig deeper and deeper into foreign ideologies for treating social problems.

It is a stupid thing and a waste of time and resource to perform autopsy on a victim gunned down by bullets. We know what killed him, bullets! Don't need a stupid coroner or medical examiner to determine cause of death. But America does stupid things like that.

Most often in Nigeria if someone was murdered their killer's identity is known. If its not immediately knon then more than likely it will never be known because we don't have a national identity framework.

Forensics is done more for fluid evidence than it is for traction evidence left behind. So blood, saliva, urine, semen, etc, I mean it is good to introduce the technology but it will have collateral but undesirable social impacts that are far worse than on the American scale.

True. Idi has good vision, I don't doubt it. Under Buhari/Idiagbon regime or another one with similar demand for discipline and orderliness, yes, a forensic evidence will stand the litmus test in court.

But under all these agbero regimes we have, forensic technoogy in Nigeria will be another layer of commercialized enforcement.

How you want control crime scene wey goat dey run up and down crying for in mama milk? Goat be done step throuhg blood and everything and contaminate evidence

You are trying to fight crime but you will end up creating more crime.

I was coming out of the Magistrate court with some people and as we stepped outside the building a middle aged man approached and asked if we needed witness for our case.

Forensic technology will be good for processing and collecting materials from crime scene but it then acquires value. Any object of value can be exhanged in Nigeria, including incriminating evidence.

<Quote> Why do some men talk or stare at female strangers they have never met before? </quote>

she is carrying wares he is not used to seeing.

Forensic ke?

Ibebe-Idi, where have u been? Na Naija criminal we dey talk about, not black American petty thief wey carry gun go steal doritos.

Look Naija do 419 under the nose of FBI agents and got way free. Much less Nigerian constable.

The camera need to be covered up, in Lagos?? Lol!

A cop could be standing next to the camera mount and the crime will still be committed.

Or yet the criminal dress in masquerade outfit to hide his identity for the crime.

Real talk chick!! You know our people!

I hope they don't start missing as facebook and youtube posters needing digital cameras go after them.

Land grab campaign!!!

<Quote> So I'm guessing it's safe to say their language is a dialect of Igbo and they are a subgroup? </quote>

Yeeeeh, hooray!!! Its "safe" to "say" We acquired another territory!
