Katsumoto:
Somehow, I knew you were going to link your post to Awolowo. What do they say about old habits?   

Stating that the Alaafin was the paramount ruler in Yorubaland is analogous to stating that the Roman Emperor is the paramount European ruler because the Romans had an empire that lasted longer than other European empires.

BTW, NEVER EVER STATE THAT AKALA IS A DISCIPLE OF AWOLOWO. 

Akala is a disciple of Adedibu, OBJ and other Amala politicians.

You beat me to this response, I was going to say almost the same thing especially about Alafin being the paramount ruler of Yorubaland and Akala being Awolowo's deciple. Even Alafin will not call himself Alafin of Yorubaland but Alafin of Oyo. but then how much does dede know about Yorubaland, he can be pardoned.

BTW, I am still consulting with the Kingmakers on your chieftancy title. So far, fstranger is Balogun, and Bkbabe is Akogun.

Good one. One of Obafemi Awolowo's legacies.

Good thread, nice compilation, keep it up. It only makes people wiser.

They are just Ok but with the "humble mannerisms and the resounding success they have made of their lives" I might be interested.

ThiefOfHearts:
why dont I recognize anyone?

You mean you cant remember me back in 2006/7? we were the hottest couple in romance then

Cristianne Ray, from Seattle, is the world’s smallest mother. She is 2 ft 9 inches tall and she gave birth to a happy baby girl named Kyrsten. She weighed 4 lbs 8 oz and was 14 inches long after she was born; what is around half of her mother’s height. When she saw her daughter for the first time, she said: “She was tiny, but at the same time she was huge compared to me.” She tries to lead a happy and healthy life; she goes bowling trying to keep fit and takes care of her newborn baby. Her fiancée Jeremy [b]Bowden is 6 ft 4 inches tall [/b]and he takes care of the fragile baby and her mother.

Yeah, opposites attract.

[quote author=Sir-fly link=topic=660292.msg8267497#msg8267497 date=1304646253]plss tpiah i love u, say yes u wana be my gf. [/quote]Dont mind tpia, she is a lady, very fine young lady (forget abt all the rubbish people say about her on NL)

I would have given u a link to her real picture and yim, but you came late cos she is already 'taken'. So leave her alone.

lets also not forget that this is a Public Private Partnership project. So all the money is not coming from Lagos state.

And I also think its location at Lekki is line with the Eko Atlantic city/Lagos free trade zone objectives.

This is what that vindictive Akala created, the power tussle btw them have been solved with creation of Osun out of Oyo. Ooni has been been Chairman in Osun and Allafin Chairman in Oyo. Ti inu ile kan ban toro, awon omo ale ibe ni koi ti d'agba.



Historically, those who remember the origin of the proverb "Omode gbon agba gbon laa fi da ile Ife". It was about how Ile Ife stopped paying homage to Oyo by sending a male cow to Oyo and demanded its calf to be sent to Ife , and so on, and so on. Which means Oyo at time governed Ife.
History has it that when Oduduwa died, Oranmiyan was not  around, so his grandpa's properties were shared with nothing left for him. Infact no crown was reserved for him, that is why you hear "lade lade lade Alaafin ko lade (Alafin does not have crown) When he showed up later, the family, in a face saving tactics, gave him red soil and told him that his own share would be the whole of Yorubaland, that was how he started collecting homage (isakole) from all part of Yoruba land.

Remii:
May be you can tell me the story behind the proverb Omode gbo agba gbon la fi da ile Ife, (Hint, check Alawiye Apa Kefa by J F Odunjo}

You contradicted yourself, you can not claim they use wisdom to avoid paying isakole (tax) and at the same time claim they pay isakole. After Oyo became powerful and attempted to collect isakole from Ile-ife, they were wise and they knew it would be fruitless going into battle with Oyo hence they applied wisdom to avoid paying isakole without going into battle. So Ife was never under Oyo empire or paid isakole to Oyo or to any kingdom for that matter.
