Nairaland General › Re: Summary Of Topics That Made Nairaland Front Page For June by Olaskybab: 6:37am On Jun 30, 2017 |
bravarian: Henceforth I have taken it upon my self to start writing monthly updates about stories that make Nairaland front page monthly. Am not going to bore you with any introduction will just go in to details.
(1)Brave Policeman officer who faced armed robbers that attacked Zenith Bank:
First week of June a video surfaced and later went viral online where a police man was seen exchanging fire with armed robbers that attacked a customer of Zenith bank,It started with questions of Where it happened,What became of the man(If he survived or not) and what measures were taken to commend his bravery But as time went on little by little updates came to spot light where it was learnt the man died and Zenith Bank did little or nothing likewise the Nigerian Police Force but towards the end of the second week the man's family triumphed according to what we heard and read it was said Zenith Bank offered his children scholarship till university level plus Nigerians donated close to eighteen thousand dollars for his family members.
(2) EVANS:
Towards the second week of June ending,After several backlash on the Nigeria Police force for abandoning the brave policeman earlier spoken above on this post The Nigerian Police Force earned several praises from all Nigerians on the arrest of a notorious kidnapper who they have being on his trail since 2005.Different stories emerged about him spreading from week two till now (Week 4).In some of the stories that made front page it was gathered that his ransom demanded for his kidnap victims are not any less than a million dollars and he doesn't release his victims till the last kobo is paid.In week three we got the Evans saga continued where we read about how his last kidnapped victim escaped and it was his escape that led to the waterloo of Mr Evans and his fellow gang members.Later on we read a story of another victim that spoke about how he was kidnapped and he was shot,he nearly died due to his gunshot injury there was even a time his family members were called to swap him for his brother so he might go and receive good medical care but they objected later on for the fear of the exchange Deal being a trap. Still on week three we read about how his wife was interviewed,summary of her life with him many more news and jnformation came to spot light know Evans.
(4)
Week 4 of June has not being that eventful Evans story was boring people up already and there has bit being any story worthy of making this week no 1 story because many stories emerged but didn't last long enough to make readers drool but recently a story is being in contention,It started with Falz saying Nigerian Musicians should stop praising yahoo boys in there music then many said he was pointing at Nice -Living Things where he used the word Chache and he praised some yahoo boys like Hushpuppy then Nice replied Inturn Hushuppy started trolling musicians like Phyno and Ice prince where he said they wear fake Gucci,Phyno replied him,Iceprince followed suit and we still waiting for what hushpuppy will say next.
At this juncture I drop my pen see you next month.No ghost readers please Anyone that visits this thread should drop a comment please. Datz y I will b dropping my comment soon@bolded |

AreaFada2: Writing capitalletter is like opening mouth "ah" "ah" and shouting in real life. Just in case you do not know literary etiquette. It does not emphasize what you want to say. It only appears rude.
Your opinion about Benin is irrelevant. Quoting some half-baked sources from Benin Empire Denial Centre (BEDC) is of no use. I have seen many like you here on NL over the years. They all come with Yemen, Jerusalem, Sudan, Egypt origin of Oduduwa story. When that began looking rather foolish myth, then invented one mountain that he used chain to climb from as a messenger. Long after another ridiculous coming climbing from heaven story. Different stories, versions, all very watery & inconsistent. Why they want to make Oduduwa a "Tokunbo" by all means is beyond me. Mankind came from black Africa. But they want Oduwawa to be from Arabia. 
While Alimi, his co-travellers and Yoruba traitor Afonja over-ran Oyo, Benin fought off Jihadists from Idah axis from invading Edo North.
While fight Ebira? River Niger was a decent natural boundary and with vassals in Eastern Yoruba land, and Lagos, going by Edo population then, Benin had excessive "Lebensraum already. For both trade & agriculture.
The problem Yoruba people have is that they think Yorubaland was always one large tribe as today. Many Yorubas in different parts could not even understand each other. My dad's Yoruba language derived from Owo dialects is very different from Ijebu or Egba one till today. Much less before the Intra-Yoruba civil wars. Not all Yoruba can understand as many Yuruba variants as he does.
Until the recent standardisation of language and cultural nationality, you were Awori, Egba, Oyo, Ibadan, Ijesha, Owo, Ekiti, etc. A point Emir Sanussi also made clear a few years ago. Since you claim that the Northern Muslims/Arabs are the credible authority on Yoruba history.
Rome began as a small farming settlement on the Tiber. But it later ruled the known world, starting by conquering the Italians/ Etruscans.
The Europeans detailed the military skills of Benin warriors in Yorubaland. They witnessed the wars there. They describe Benin tactics called "Ifianyanko" or encirclement. And they lambasted Ashanti warriors as slackers compared to Benin warriors. They had seen Ashanti warriors at war too. It was never size that mattered in war but planning, tactics/techniques, mobilizing resources, motivating men, recruiting mercenaries and impeccable leadership. The Oba led soldiers to war personally. Bronze Plaques of him & his generals returning triumphantly from wars abound of Oba Ewuare I the Great, Oba Ozolua n'Ibaromi (The conqueror), Oba Esigie, Oba Orhogbua, etc.
When the Gauls led by Vercingetorix nearly defeated Julius Caesar at Alesia (now Alise-Sainte-Reine, France) in September of 52 BC, Julius rode out to banish rumours of his death by letting his scarlet cape flow in the wind to save the day. That is leadership. Not quantity.
Still even if there were no written Western testimony, I heard enough consistent oral history from Benin people who were born around 1875. They all clearly remembered fir razing Benin in 1897 during war with Britain as young men/women. They were over 100 years old back in the 1980s. All very consistent with impeccable memories, from seen history and learnt oral history.
Pity we did not develop a popular writing early enough, hence the revisionist writers now won't have any chance. Lol...... What is ur point exactly? |
Culture › Re: Ancient Benin: Where Did The First Monarchs Come From by Olaskybab: 2:56pm On Apr 30, 2017 |
aljharem: Benins are funny people. They would rather manipulate their history to justify "their kingdom" some of them even say Benin republic is from bini but those ones acknowledge yorubas. I say to you all Lagos island indigene have deny their Benin heritage because of the liesin Benin history.
As of today you rarely even hear itsekeris call themselves offshot of benin. The olu went to ile ife. Benin will lose everything because Oduduwa has laid a curse on anyone that denies his ancestral home. Just take a look at bini town and compare with even ugheli or Agbarwo . Benin is not moving forward. Lol......@d bolded |

The fact is that, most of them,esp the elders know the truth. But they would rather manipulate history in their favour. There is a GST course in UNIBEN, NPC, the whole book is full of lies and manipulations. Imagine dem claiming Yoruba is from Benin, Ogun nd Sango are from Benin etc... Anyway, I just jack deir book to get d 'A' I need sha, notin more. |
