when Governor Fashola deported destitute ibos back to iboland, werent you fools crying like sore loosers that you really are?

Deport the Yorubas in iboland and let the Yorubas deport the ibos in Yorubaland. Lets see who will first bat an eyelid

omojoshy:
Why is your conscience disturbing you? When I say "Some people" did I mention your name or do you think I'm NOT from South South too? And how did you know it was Armed Rubbers that carried out the killings? Were you an Eye-witness or spoke-person?

Did you know the implications of what took place? Have you forgotten the ODI massacre? When I say "Some people" it could be your so called Armed rubbers, militants or Crude Oil thieves. Be objective before you attack people innocently. I just pray the Solders don't come back for a revenge.....the outcome could lead to nothing but a War.

As at 1893 Ekiti had become a powerful independent united nation who fought the ruthless and daring Ibadan to a stand still to secure that. Bini never held the "whole" of Ekiti... wat like 3 kingdoms out of 16 has turned into "whole"

anyway no reason to take an Esan (who's history is unknown) anti-yoruba Bini slave seriously

twosquare:
Nigerman1 don dey spew ignorance since....even till 1897? Oookay....perhaps I should know whom the Ekitis were fighting their domination in Kiriji war then....Like Shymm3x said, Ife birth those two great Empires and that's the bedrock of the two civilizations and that's also why the heads of benin kings where buried there in ancient times. It is
symbolic.

Shebi the Binis said they have nothing to do with Yoruba people ancestrally, yet they worship well known Yoruba Gods like Olokun, Osun, Sango, Oduduwa and Ogun, while Yoruba do not worship any Edo/Bini gods/goddesses
But not doubt, the Yorubas and the Edos were by far the best art makers in all of Sub Saharan Africa. (Especially when it had to do with sculptures and carvings)

Jobneeded12:
The superior race has always been yoruba/Edo see arts

Rotimi47:
Owo & Bini are like siblings.

Shymm3x:
Yes, it's epic. I'm a big fan of the finesse of Bini arts and crafts. The Binis definitely had the best arts and crafts from present day Nigeria, due to the supreme finesse involved in the works of those practitioners. Then I'd go for Owo after Bini. Though Ife birthed the two places - Ife arts were more realism than finesse, apart from the supremely marvellous Ife head (ori olokun), which is over 700 years old, and definitely the greatest masterpiece out of present day Nigeria. But the Binis killed the game - props to them.

Err, I'm sure you're conversant with Yoruba religion - what do you think about the elaborate representation of Yoruba gods (Osun, Olokun, Ogun, and Oduduwa) in Bini arts?

Lmao @ returning them to Nigeria. That would be disastrous. Most Nigerians are too sucked into Abrahamic religions and they won't appreciate the greatness of these artworks. Then you have got educated illiterates who still think the white man brought civilisation to Africa, due to the fact that they don't understand what civilisation entails. Also, even if they were to return them, where would they keep them and maximise the utilisation of these great works, in a country where nothing works and all the infrastructures are dilapidated with zero maintenance culture? Nigeria isn't Egypt and the people don't understand anything - apart from white Jesus and Allah. Anything else is of the notorious devil/satan/lucifer.

literarymathy:
Do not be deceived! There's nowhere in the world where HND and B.Sc compete. HND is a middle man technical degree whereas B.Sc is a managerial theoretical based degree. They both have their uses but a they can never be called equals. Even a 3rd class B.Sc holder stands a better chance of employability into certain firms than HND. Besides HND holders will find it extremely hard to enter into the lecturing profession unlike B.Sc holders. There's no way anyone can say these two certificates are equal. Saying so would yield to delusive thinking.
However, I do agree that HND holders have a better technical know how and stand a much higher chance of employability in practical, on-the-field jobs. However, B.Sc holders will end up being their supervisors. That's the sad truth of this bifurcation.
As for the 2.2 stuff; second class lower division is an average result. Granted, many of them may not stand as much chance as do 2.1 or 1.1 graduates or even given the opportunity to prove themselves, they are still much better than HND lower credit holders.

Please tell him to post previous years pictures he took in the different planes like a typical first timer, then I will believe him. Also, let him continue talking before thinking until the people's general put him (Murray Bruce) in Kirikiri prison where he (Murray Bruce) actually belongs for misappropriating NTA's money when he (Murray Bruce) was NTA's DG and Chairman of FRCN.

MrPresident1:
Isaiah 14:1
14 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.

Bro, History (and truth) is couched in arcane language to deter the unworthy.

The House of Jacob aka the kingdom of God that will be established very soon will be made up of all people, irrespective of background. The Yoruba tribal agglomeration is the best example of this, Yoruba is the Church of God, made up of all people.

To tell you the truth, Yoruba, Edo, Igbo etc etc, non of them is wholly homogenous, they are all heterogeneous groups of people who have found a common banner to associate themselves. They are all superior, non is inferior to the other.

Isaiah 56:6
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Bro., Oduduwa is all about being Omoluabi, an omoluabi is a just person, a peaceful person, a righteous person, a person of virtue. And all Yoruba have accepted that banner.

Jesus Christ is the chief Omoluabi, the head cornerstone of the Yoruba church.

I am from Isolo compound at Ado, and I'm happy to discover the place of my patriarch in Yoruba history. It is you that need to learn my history from me www.en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ota,_Nigeria.

tonychristopher:
This isnt a dickk measuring contest, I have been reading NigerMan1: and his approach to issue is matured and accademic so why use Yoruba is superior, in what aspect


Thank you..i know you will call me names

9jacrip:
I also had to withdraw from engaging those guys further.

They are not in anyway Yoruba yet attempt to dictate what Yoruba history should be and what it shoud entail.

I've put them on ignore list.

macof:
I've decided to ignore the buffoon as I realized he was Esan
Imagine an Esan man who's history is largely unknown trying to teach Yorubas our language and history, teach Binis their history and yet declare that only Awori should talk about Awori
Imagine Awori are 100% unique
When next we need to learn about Aworis we either seek an Awori or an Esan man

The man is so pathetic and hypocritical

Best you ignore him brother, an Esan can never know the bonds of we Yorubas

Jst watch how he would quote me saying Yorubas are divided

hadizasaf:
See memories
I think I was a kid when he visited out state and landed in our police barrack in one of the norther states
I can't describe how I felt that day

I WISH OUR LEADERS REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE YOUNG ONES ARE VERY IMPRESSIONABLE

I BELIVE THAT SOMEDAY SOMEHOW NIGERIA WILL GET IT RIGHT AGAIN

Mccullum:
Great Awo, eithers the haters like him or not he still remain the best among his contemporaries from other regions during their period,? the only man in the world that managed the economy of his nation as minister of finance for 3 years war without borrowing kobo from any nation or int'l organisation, he's best president Nigeria never had. RIP

Makapounse:
i don't know why igbo people hate this great man, if ojukwu and effiong didn't call for war , there wil no war in our great country. All blame is on those who thought they greater than Nigeria which resulted in to 30 months civil war, Nigeria must be 1 and Nigeria must great

FrancisTony:
Well, Edo is more closer and related to Yoruba than Igbo.
Most people I know call Edo, Yoruba.
My Uncle's wife is Edo and she said that most of the older men in her village answers Yoruba name.
Only newer generation bears Edo name.
By the way, she's from Ake, Owan Local government.

The only states people refer as Igbo in South-South is Rivers and Delta state(not all of them, anyway) owing to the fact that they have Indigineous Igbo population.

slapandfall:
W̶̲̥̅̊ђA̶̲̥̅t I mean exactly is that I cud only spot out Okpebho L.G.A cos I'm from edo central.

So I may not know of odas since ♍Ɣ scope doesn't Я̲̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ɑ̤̥̈̊lƔ cover apart from central.
Some of our dialect is even spoken in some areas of far portugal and brazil.. I'm very aware of dat. #welldone bro.

slapandfall:
@OP.. I don't think this is a valid argument..

In No 16, and 20, I can see Okpebho local govt Area and u said it is part of Edo.. That is untrue..

There is no such local government in edo state.

That has long bein changed since God knows when.

I am a pure Ishan boy.. Ewossa from Igueben LGA of Edo State.. AAU Ekpoma Bred..
