coogar: what part of lagos is this & what year?

Isale Eko. (Lagos Island)!

Up till late 80s and early 90s Lagos was still very safe for night life. As a young boy then I remember going with my Uncle to such parties almost every weekend during school holidays.

[quote author=baby_123]Me too. But my best memories were in Epetedo. The nightlife is unmatched. Those people can groove!!!. From 7pm till early morning. Those days when streets were blocked for the weekend. . With the fake Eyo masquerades extorting and beating anyone. LOL. Egungun ton mu gulder [/quote]lol @ at Egungun to nmu Guilder

Good memories! Lagos was very safe then.. Honestly we need to have those nightlife back.

[quote author=baby_123]Am afraid of you now. I enjoy my anonymity. [/quote]lol... dont worry, your secrets are safe with me. BTW. I didn't live at Epetedo only went to the family house few times during some family programs with my dad.

[quote author=baby_123] . Na wah! My fellow villager.[/quote]Really? We need to meet at the village then

coogar: OAM4J.....don't underestimate chamotex. if he's abaleja yan, trust me he's 100% eating the eja by the side. he doesn't kid around. he's wanted by 36 london boroughs for defaulting on child support.

underestimate chamo at your own risk.

Hehehe. He is a small meat. he cannot eat eran agba, to ba dan wo ehin e a ka.

I am also Bobagunwa of Ijebuland, Awujale will listen to me before hearing what a palace boy like chamotex has to say.

[quote author=baby_123]

OAMJ, See how you are chasing Ijebu around this thread. Respect yaself. Is your father Ijebu or Awori. I know you are from Lagos. If it is Awori, then you are killing us here. Control yourself. [/quote]Sorry dear. I love my mum and my Ijebu side from her.

My dad is an Awori repping Epetedo.

funkybaby: You've been checking the wrong places. Ijebu gals boku.

OMA4J, where art thou? Have you paid awujale the deposit of my owo ori?

As you can see, boys are not smiling

They are all abaleja yan

Sometimes it's good to let others pose with your cars and woman as long as you know they are not moving an inch with them

Its a good thing for people to wanna be like me. If they can't have you let me at least allow them to dream.

Ojude Oba 2013 in pictures

Ojude Oba literately means the kings's front-yard. It is an annual event when the citizens and well wishers of Ijebuland pay homage to their king (The Awujale of Ijebuland). Fixed on the 3rd day of Ileya festival because many Ijebu citizens (Muslims and Non Muslims) often travel home for the Ileya festivals...even though the event has become very popular and big that many now go home for Ileya because they don't want to miss Ojude Oba.

Before now the event usually takes place in front of the King's palace and with many titled chiefs on horses giving lots of entertainment to spectators. Years after, the Awujale asked many of the Ijebus to form various social associations with approval from the Awujale's palace. That took Ojude Oba to a new level. We have thousands of like-minds associations in Ijebu today. So yearly each recognized association come to Ojude Oba to pay homage to the king with their Musics and dances.

That is not all. The main thing is the parties after the Ojude Oba entertainments. Each Association has their party place where they eat and drink to their fill with their friends and families. Some of them engage live bands to play for them while they dance and party, others make use of DJs and party till dawn.

The fun on this day is unlimited with unlimited food, drinks, music, money, and other things you find at big parties

MetaPhysical: Please elaborate more on that.
Aladdin's carpet may not just be a middle eastern mystery, we have our own mystical carpets.

Id love to know more on this history and the festival.

You will have to visit Ijebu ode to know more. Its been years I visited the place.

And about the special mat...well its what they said and many believed it's true. whether na magic or something else, if you ask me na who I go ask? But Billions of people all over the world among whom are well educated people believe Jesus and Peter walked on the water, I think sailing on a mat is still 2nd class to that

MetaPhysical: Kasumoto,
I have few observations on this.

If Oduduwa was racially different to the aborigines of Ife like Obatala and company, then

1. Who spoke Yoruba tongue, the aborigines or the migrants?

2. If Obatala's wife was Yemooja, then her realm must have extended from Ife to the coast given that she is a sea godess. If this were true, then the Ijebu must have arrived over the sea and not by land to their spot. If they arrived over land, they traversed through an already populated land and as foreigners they would have been contained much earlier and limited far hinterland. The only way they could have arrived overland and been allowed by the aboriginal Ifes to settle deep in their realm would be if this contact was initiated by invitation (as is case in the episode of King Solomon inviting Queen Sheba and giving them settlement on the Suez coast), or the Ijebu arrivals fought and defeated the aborigines and took land where they wanted.

3. If Oduduwa was married to Olookun, then they migrated from a sea coast.

4. How do you explain that the two Queens are sea cults and where one is indigenous, the other is foreign but yet neither is domiciled on a sea coast?

Note - I made these theories on the understanding that Yemooja and Olookun, as cults is not unique and exclusive to Yoruba. It has universal application and particularly in Egyptian cults.

MetaPhysical: It is known that Ijebu and Itsekiri share same dialect. Between these two locations are Mahin and Ilaje. Given the linearity in their geo-positions, it is hard not to appreciate that all four - Ijebu, Mahin, Ilaje and Itsekiri - speak same dialect.

Referring back to Kasumoto's hint on Ijebu's foreign footprint, is it possible that what is described simply as a raid and incursion was actually a war from a settlement of foreign people on the coast?

If Ijebu came from Wadai, as their history shows, then they are part of the ancient Himyarites, the Yemeni dynastic rulers of ancient times. They were boat peoples and seafarers.

If Ugbo was a separate from Ijebu and was indigeneous, how did they end up from the savannah and became riverine people?

I lived part of my early life at Ijebu Ode, and there was this annual festival they used to have then (I dont know if they still do it) it was done in remembrance of one of the Ijebus' greatest herbalist, cant remember his name now (his family compound was just 3 buildings away from where I lived). According to what I heard then, there used to be a river that connected River Ogun to another river at Epe and the river passed through Ijebu Ode.

Annually, the river overflew its bank and destroyed thousands of lives and properties and after consultations from many places; in other to appease the goddess of this river the herbalist had to sacrifice his life. I heard he sailed with a special mat on the river till he was out of sight and days following the big river dried up. I was shown a trace of the river-pathway which was a big gully at the time filled with refuse dumps.

If this account is true, it might answer some of your questions. I know they celebrate Yemoja festival in Ijebu Ode back in the days too.
