Odua, ma wo ni te e.

Fashola can not speak for Aworis of Lagos even Fashola is not originally Awori but was integrated. His grand father is Ekiti.

can akiolu speak for awori?

Abagworo: Nairaland is a microcosm of the bad part of Nigeria. I am so sure that if this same State creation topic is brought up in the house, this same politics will deviate the aim and land us in oil revenue allocation review and finally shelving it entirely.

thank you o. many ppl seem to think they can walk away from the awareness generated in nl. i guarantee you, same thing we see here goes on in there, perhaps to a milder degree because of facetime interaction but the emotions and passions of rivalry exist nonetheless.

Ngodigha:
because you Lagosians abandoned them as neighbours and instead replaced them with hinterland people as your kins. May be time to go back as it were in the past.

fashola has warned them already and i doubt they will ever trespass again to go fish in ijebu waters....or there will be plenty misunderstandings.

re@lchange:


they are my brothers
but sometimes, even brothers should be thrown under the bus if he is stuupid.

mtcheww, you need Jesus!

alj harem:

LMAO so who would win because certainly not the westerners

who else but the overall godfather, the alaiye of nigeria....the yorubas!

tell me why northerners and easterners are doing paddy-paddy with westerners. other day buhari sent tears of condolence to fash over firecracker fire......he is yet to condole bayero over the inferno in kano.

they know what time it is....

Sonofpeace:
You might be right, But thats not what i am seeing here. To me he is nothing but a coward always rigmaroling like devils advocate IBB.

trust me, when the two sides hunker down alj is always the one in middle absorbing the spits and jabs till it all calm down.

Ngodigha:
Ogbuefi, why not allow Ijaws do their own thing. Are you their mouthpiece?.

my brother, they are my cousins.

re@lchange:


aaahh in your dreams mr man!
the north needs more money
ndigbo need more money too
you are a pepetual parasite,so you need more money as well.
all it takes for that to happen is for a northerner to win in 2015.

you cannot feed the hand that bites you. you need to stop biting ijaw if you want to get fed in nigeria.

northerner will not win 2015, easterner will not win 2015.

re@lchange:
next port of call is derivation formula
it must return to 5% for littoral states, not 13%
that offshore oil is owned by all nigerians
bayelsa should not get more money than anambra or kano or borno, or oyo state

ah, thief! when will you guys start to feel the pain of ijaws and begin to address their issues with tender care and sensitivity. how can you be so mean? we are trying to make it 50% derivation and here you are provoking their emotions again.

alj is stainless. he has solid reputation as dispute resolution advocate here in nl.

re@lchange, Happy New year to you as well. You asked if i travelled, no I did not. I can see you didnt either. God bless my brother.


ngodigha, they were looking for federal assets they claimed. it sounds familiar to a similar story on why foreign boots were on the ground in ore. everyone comes to lagos for federal asset. this is why i say Yoruba is number 1.

ijaw is at home on water but when they are on land they loose their bearing. if gej had been president when capital was in calabar or lagos he will not be this slow and things will move along sharp-sharp. ijaw fishermen were looking for someone in ondo and because they were on land, due to disorientation.....yep, u guessed it, they kidnapped a wrong person.

hey onlytruth, your ezeship has expired. stick your igwe feather up on jonathan for me. doesnt he look good in native hats?

alj harem: ^^^^^^^^^ Craze man

Nah, we have different groups in Nigeria

lmao. look oga jona hand nah, picture speak for hinself. dude always look presidential in native attire. his handlers need to throw out all those top hats and cowboy sombreros and put some igbo red hat on him, with an igwe feather.

manchy7531:


Lol, this dude is truly a drunken fisheman.For him the fear of the great igbos is the alpha and omega of wisdom.

Unfortunately it's not the fault of the igbos. They(igbo) were created to be your lord and to be aheaded of you in everything.

Note that there are only five ethnic groups in Nigeria, The great igbos of the east,the happy yorubas of the west,the brave hausa/fulani of the north, the hospitable efix/ibibio of the far east and finally the rest.

aji se bi oyo laari, oyo ee sebi baba eni kaan kaan!
everyone realizes and follows oyo premiership, oyo does not. tread in the dayam footsteps of anyone!

there are two people in nigeria....look at my finger, number 1, Yoruba, and then others!

Tony Spike:

Dudu, which one is worse?

(1) Flying an American flag
(2) Flying a Biafran flag (I've seen this in many places in Eastern Nigeria)

i will hack off the head of any person i catch flying american flag anywhere on the soil.

now, if i catch anyone, biafran or not, fly a biafran flag anywhere on yoruba soil i will tie him down like i will tie a ram and cut him up like i will cut a ram open. biafran flag is for Biafra, not for yorubaland, period! lets not get it mixed up.

'say what , what are you drinking you say there how many. ethnic groups..... hold on, im confused, can you repeat ?

who is messing with my desola......who is distressing Moremi of Nairaland this early in the year?

Mods,

Dudu_Negro has just learnt that his access to the forum is impeded and his capacity to post will be restrained for few hours. The gentleman and servant of God will like to know why. If you have information please share or review and resolve the impedance please so Dudu can continue to enjoy his activities in peace.

Your brother in God,
Chief Negro.

*** It has been over two hours since this request for information was posted. The honorable Chief is still waiting. Good things come to those who wait patiently. Chief would still love to know what caused the block on Dudu's activity. ***

...

Here we go again...

jimtext,

calm down and let me share with you that

1. before it was called Eko, the original Awori name for the place was "Erekusi".

2. Dahomey wanted to posess Lagos and control the salt mines in Mahin. Lagos had been invaded a number of times but Dahomey had yet to dominate it. Fearing the worst, Olofin sought protection from Oyo. Oyo calvary turned down offer to station camp in Lagos because of climate and its impact on their estuaries. Bini responded. When Dahomey showed up the Bini forces beat them back. The alliance between Oba of Bini and Olofin produced gains for both....Bini became a major trader in salt and its presence shielded Lagos from Dahomey occupation. Why didn't Bini occupy and control Mahin and its salt mines? see 3 below.
Bini was persuaded by Idejo Chiefs to prolong stay in Lagos. Except a designated courtyard granted to their prince, Asipa, and as well two shrines (Ado and Idito), any other land occupied by the Binis was on lease. Even till today, the lands on which the courtyards of the Akarigbere and the Abagbon chiefs are built are leased. Erekusi and Eko are similar pronounciations and. i dont know how it ultimately changed to become Eko.

3. Binis did not control the coastlines as you said. Binis were not boat people. The Itsekiris and the Ijebus were boat people and they controlled the coastline from Warri to Mahin. Awori controlled the waters from Lekki all the way to Apa and on to Ilado to Aja. Ijebu was the one in occupation and control of Mahin and salt trade. When Bini joined in, they patrolled the harbours. Ijebu on the other hand tolled the riverines and controlled exchange to Yoruba hinterland, while. Bini mainly traded the salt with the Urhobos and other neighbors further jnland.

4. Bini does not own Lagos. Bini owns the crown and the throne of the Obaship of Lagos. see the following pictures to understand the stream.
The insignia of office is the Abere (sword), which is a tributary of Bini. Notice the akete or ceremonial hat on Oba Oyekan and Oba Ovonramwen.

that loaf is designed for oven. when you grill you chop it into slabs. for heat penetration. which african you know dey eat beef and suck the blood from hin plate same time? we no get time to fvk around with parkinson like that.

i remember kangiwa falling off his horse during a polo tournament and dying from head injuries.

there had been politicians that died out of office and usually in connection with women palava. we have lost 5 sitting head of states - Balewa, Ironsi, Murtala, Abacha, YarAdua.

babymama,

next time roast that berf over open grill. score the skin and rub seasoning in it and give it some chargrilled flavor.....african style! looks good sha.

are you from enugu?

its time to castrate his balls and then give him 20yrs or 40 behind bars, whichever is longer.

afam4eva: Let's tone down on the minor insults, so that it not not degenerate into a full time circus show.

what.. you say tone....hold on, what did you say, degene what?

Desola:

Yoruba backing ke?

As it is in the federal government, so it is on Nairaland o.

seun has pulled an Obj on all Yorubas and i'm loving it!

lmao! . is Seun from Owu?

without the consent and support of Yoruba Forum how does afam or any moderator for that matter expect to have a successful tenure here?

afam, until you get the Yoruba backing your authority in this section is not yet sanctioned.

Desola:

His contemporary now.

Only a person with the same reasoning can pull that stunt.

happy new year dear.

did they consult the Yoruba Forum to see how we feel about this candidate?

pato station:
You mean they will not mind to continue with Chime even if he is dead?

chime is not dead. he has been kidnapped. chime is kidnapped. hold on, how many times i need to say this? can someone please teach me what kidnap is in igbo language.

afam, who made you a moderator?

yeah, i hear you. anyway, is this not afam governor?

onyebuchi is currently acting but he is useless.....the people dont want him, they want chime.
