OK. Thanks for you perspective. Away from history, how do you view your man Agbo politically and socially?

I am sorry, I am not abreast of developments. I don't know who Agbo is.Kindly educate me.

bahdpersona:
the oil producing areas in ondo state are ilaje communities not ijaw

This is not true. Why was there an Ilaje and Arogbo fight in ondo be state during obasanjo's regime I think?

tplayer:
Please, why did they move from Bayelsa to Ife? They are of Ijaw descent but move to ife, a Yoruba territory? Please explain.

To be honest with you, the account about they moving from Bayelsa to Ife and then to their current settlement in ondo state was what I read. According to that account , which I don't clearly remember again, it was a trip to visit oduduwa or so but they never returned back to Bayelsa from that trip.

But the account that I trust more is the one orally passed to me by my father which he got orally from his own parent. In that account Apoi migrated from Bayelsa to thier current settlement in ondo state in search of better fishable water.They found the current settlement suitable for their fishing profession and settled there long long time ago. As you probably know, Ijaws are fishers.

tplayer:
But an Apoi, according to your history, is basically yoruba, since you migrated from Ife to present day Bayelsa, then to present day Ondo state? Am I correct?

Apois are yorubas because they speak a dialect of yoruba language but are of Ijaw descent. No, they migrated from Bayelsa to Ife and from Ife to the now ondo state. They never returned to Bayelsa .

Ilajes are definitely yorubas. I was not saying otherwise.

Givaxy:
Eguns have Oyo and Dahomey blood

Eguns are never yorubas. They are originally from the now Benin republic.

Givaxy:
Yes thats it. Ilaje owns the land. So why will ijaws be demanding compensation.

Ilajes don't own it any longer.

Givaxy:
At least they are Yoruba

They are definitely yorubas.

..a question. Is Sowore of Sahara Reporters Yoruba? Think carefully because He is Ilaje

Sowore is from Kribo. Kribo is one of the nine towns of Apoi land. Sowore is an Apoi man. Apois natively speak Yoruba language and bear Yoruba names. I am also an Apoi man, unlike Sowore, b
I don't ever introduce myself as Ijaw. I always introduce myself as Yoruba.

Uchasa:
Immediately your stupid source mentioned Delta, I was convinced that it's thrash!
Ilajes are indigenous to Ondo,Ogun and Lagos and they are not Yorubas.

Brother, Ilajes are not indigenous to Lagos nor to Ogun be state. They are like fulanis. Anywhere you find fishable water you find them even up to as far as Cameroon. That there are Ilaje settlements in different places outside ondo doesn't mean they hail from there. I know this for sure because my mother is Ilaje. I

theFilmtric:

Wikipedia is trash??
Then what's your source?

Givaxy:
They are now Yoruba and they have Oyo and Dahomey blood line

Eguns are never yorubas.

Givaxy:
Because ijaw are sonetimes troublesome. But they always forget that you can't fight a major tribe in Nigeria without federal government backing

The war was fought because Arogbos demanded "compensation" for the oil found on their land. Ilaje felt ijaws have no such right because they migrated to to the land they live in and that all of those land originally belong to the Ilajes.

Givaxy:
Shut up they don't own the oil in ondo state. Do your research
Their local government in ondo state doesn't have oil for now. Can't say about future

What then was the cause of the Ilaje-Arogbo war that happened during obasanjo regime I think ?

Uchasa:
Shut up!
Typical Afonja conehead trying to associate himself with Niger Delta.

Apois are Ijaws.They migrated over two hundred years ago from the now Bayelsa state to the now ondo state . The nine Apoi towns are named after towns in the now Bayelsa. Sowore, for instance is an Apoi man too. That is why he calls himself ijaw.

This is not a matter of association with Niger Delta. We know our roots. If you know me you will understand that I never ever introduce myself as Ijaw.I always introduce myself as Yoruba. Like I told my dad, what is the point claiming to be Ijaw when you natively speak Yoruba language and bear Yoruba names.

My mum told me that after she got married to my dad, she met some aged Apoi women in my father's village who could still speak Ijaw language.

emperor863:
It is the Igbo that do attachment by force. The Yoruba nation does not.

If the Egun nationality that inhabit Ogun and Lagos sates do not have issues with Yoruba language or Yoruba anthem, the infinitesimal minority in Ondo should not give us senseless issues.

Very soon, the entire southwest will adopt that anthem as it was in 1959.
I

There are no Eguns in Ogun state.

Givaxy:
Worst of it all. They only understand and speak Yoruba langauge. They even bear Yoruba names

Arogbos don't speak Yoruba language .Neither bear Yoruba names. What you said is only true about Apois.

Kapilta:
Lienus. Ilaje is the only part of Ondo state with both oil and bitumen and also with Atlantic(ocean) coast. There is nothing in Ese odo.

That's not true. What lead to the Ilaje-arogbo fight during obasanjo regime I think.

shevy878:
Don't mind them, they are not even the majority in the LGA they occupy. Lol. I have a friend from there

Ese-odo LGA is strictly for Ijaws. Ijaw-Apoi and Ijaw-Arogbo. the Apois now speak. Yoruba language and bear Yoruba names.

I know because I am from there. I am an Apoi man.

Nobody will waste their time working on your fantasy for free

I believe that there is a developer out there be who wants to own an application in the class of Facebook because that would mean becoming one of the richest men in the world.

U are living in fantasy land kid

Why do you say this is fantansy? Why do you call me a kid?

This just brings a new dynamics. There have been reports that some of the protesters were armed and that might explain the pellets because the police or army does not carry pellets

Pellets in this context mean bullets.

SavageMaster:
This story doesn't add up.

If the "daughter" was born in 1996, she should be 24 years old. How old was she when the man met and married her for papers in the US?

How come she was already a citizen when she got married to her "father"? Was she adopted by a US family after her birth?

How come she didn't show her mother the picture of the man that wanted to marry her and now she's taking him to see her mother?

Can someone pls clear my confusion on the above questions?

He concluded the complicated story by saying only himself and his wife’s mother know about the true situation of things.

Yet, he called in to a Nigerian radio station program to narrate the story.

The Lies here are too much joor!

She could have been born in the US.

TempleHouse:
I think the story doesn't add up if you checked the time line and the contents of the story.

What's the age of the man 25 years ago and when does the child-wife arrived in the US to get married to her six years ago. .?

No question asked about the mother in law since six years ago after two kids ?

No phone call or the names of the family, or about the fathers new wife's name until they arrived Nigeria. ?

A 19 years old Yoruba girl married a man above 50 yrs old to give her US green card or Papers. ?

She was just 19 when she married him and when did she arrived US .?

So many unanswered questions....

This FM station do organised a sensational story to trend in order to enhance big audience for the next series.

She could have been born in the US.
Hi

I am searching for a developer who will join forces with me to develop a unique web application. The application when developed will be in the class of Facebook. That is why the ideal developer must be able to develop a world-class application.

I will bring the idea. He will do the development and we will jointly own the app by 50:50.

Anyone who is interested should send me an email using the email displayed on my profile.

Orlando Hall, who was African American, was found guilty by an all white jury, which lawyers claim was the result of racial discrimination.


A blackman abducts, rapes and buries a black woman alive leaving her to die and all these Jewish lawyers can use as argument to aquitt is the composition of the Juries race despite all mounting evidence and the victims testinonies .

And the useless Jew owned paper decided to play the racism card in their useless publication.


Well, Americans deserve what they are going through under the leprous control of Judas .

Five people were involved in the church crime. What happened to the remaining four?

Do you understand the policy or you just type without clear understanding? The government is protecting your interest and you call that wickedness, what type of human being are you?
The new policy is targeted at people that issue cheques knowing fully well that they don't have money in their account or that they will not be able to find the account before the maturity of the cheque.
In developed countries, cheque is as good as cash because you dare not issue cheques against unfunded account but here in Nigeria, people see cheque as a professional way of rubbing business partners. They collect goods and give you cheque knowing fully well there is no money in the account.

No you are wrong. It is not about cheque, it is about standing by order.

I will add this for the sake of other people who may read the thread.

To be justified means to be declared righteous(or guitless). The Greek word translated justified is the same word translated righteous.

Nobody got justified until Jesus rose from the dead means nobody became righteous until Jesus rose from the dead.


None of the disciples got born again until Jesus rose from the dead.


The promised Jesus made his disciples were prophetic meaning they are futuristic. The apply not only to them in the future but to all who will in the future believe on him.


During his earthly days Jesus had the power to forgive sins.He utilized that power. Only he at those time could forgive sins apart from God , of course.


When Jesus promised by his disciples mansions, it was futuristic.He knew they will be born again in the future. That promise is for all born again please people.
