Can you please mention what Buhari has achieved aside bringing hunger, sorrow, tears , blood and almost destroying the economy with his policy somersaults

Pprovost:
Forget about any truth bro, we believe what we want to believe, this argument will not end

But wait, is it only Yorubas and Binis that have HISTORY in the south?

2dugged:
Ogiso in Benin means king of the sky,that was why the yorubas thought he came from the sky, such clowns, how can people actually believe that a man came from the sky with a chicken and formed the earth

2dugged:
all this plenty turban wearing people in town today, I just hope an underage girl will not go missing

duni04:
I always have my way of silencing those Bini people when that "who came first" argument comes up: why is it that the heads of all Bini obas are buried in a shrine in ile-ife if its really true that oduduwa was a Bini slave? Why bury a kings head in a town founded by his supossed "slave"?

They all shut up after this..

mobaking:
Keep quiet,his father was in ile-ife to pay a courtesy visit to Ooni Adesoji Aderemi after ascending the throne in 1979.

davibid:

FACTS ABOUT THE YORUBAS AKA AFONJAS
( 1 ) . Their story of
kingship began with Edo
prince and the Benin
recorded History .
( 2 ) . Ayayi crawder said,
little were know about
yoruba existence,
meaning they were not
part of Nigeria of today
boarder or were in small
settlement close to
dahomy. yoruba are half
muslims and those with
African traditions copied or got them from Benin
civilization . I doubt if they not immigrants from dahomy
mix with Benins or other fulani- hausa from Niger
. Bishop Samuel Adjayi Crowther (c . 1809 – 31
December 1891 ) Was the first African Anglican bishop
in Nigeria . Born in Osogun (in today's Iseyin Local
Government, Oyo State , Nigeria ) . His grandson was
Herbert Macaulay
( 3 ) . Yoruba have dublicity of kingship with the process
highly politized to being traditional . A system they try
copy from Benin but can 't get it real like the Benin
Kingdom. Edo Obaship is one of the most revered
institutions in the world because of the way it has
sustained its awesome prestige with strict and
meticulous attention to ancient traditions of valour ,
discipline and integrity . Edo chieftaincy titles cannot be
bought or conferred on non- indigenes or frivolously .
Every Edo chief performs a peculiarly sacred duty
and responsibility to the people of Edo. It does not make
sense , therefore , to think that a people who would not
and have never conferred their chieftaincy titles on non-
indigenes, would voluntarily invite , accept, or surrender
to non- indigenes as their kings . Due to celestial
origins , the Edo monarch cannot eat out and cannot be
diverted from full time palace duties to hustle
for contracts .
( 4 ) . Most of today
yoruba religion are
Benin Origin , Olokun ,
Ogun , Iha oguega (ifa ) ,
oronmila, Esago
(shango ) , Ayelala etc .
Many Benin traditions
and spirituality are
stillfully documented by
yorubas in high places
as YORUBA ? (Never mind the Edo man ' s christian
mindset quickly dening Edo have niothing to do with
African traditional religion , agreeing they are foriegn to
Edoland . . . LIE ) .
Although the Great Edo ( Benin ) Kingdom were not major
participants in the trans- Atlantic slave trade , because
the Obas (Kings ) believed that their subjects were too
valuable to sell away , and their noblemen had need of
war captives on their own farms , the influence of Edo
religion and medicine has still been substantial upon
the people of the Americas .
According to Mason (1996 ) , it has been widely
accepted that Olokun ( god of the sea ) worship
originated with the Edo and spread to the Yoruba ( p. 2) .
In fact, the most prominent part of Edo cultural
traditions that has made its mark in the New World is
Olokun worship. Olokun (god of the Waters ) worship
originated from Urhonigbe and then became prominent
at Ughoton around the Ethiope ( Olokun) River . The
priesthood and rituals were firmly established at the
time . Some of the possible points of contact happened
early. During the Ogiso Period , trade with the Yoruba
and Igbos was quite extensive. Olokun worship may
have spread to those areas through traders . Prior to the
Oba Period , Ekaladerhan Izoduwa was initiated into
Olokun as a chief Priest while he stayed at Ughoton ,
before his moving westward with his followers to
establish Ilefe ( Ero , 1999 , p . 108- 109) .
Once he arrived , Ekaladerhan Izoduwa brought Edo
traditions to those areas and was a King of his new
community called Ilefe , which could be what yoruba call
IFE. . From Ekaladerhan Izoduwa ’ s loins , the Yoruba
dynasties may have began. However, it is certain that
Olokun is an Edo divinity whose worship spread to the
outlying Yoruba areas.

You see we are not in a village here. Talk with FACTS. Oild was discovered in 1956? in Oloibiri what was the quantity and what was the price of oil. I already provided the answer to the latter. oil was not an economically significant comodity before 1973. If you are ignorant educate yourself and stop guessing. Nigeria fought 30 month civil war and the Delta oil was not in her control.At the end of the war Nigeria was not in debt.HOW

When was oil exploration infrastructure installed in Nigeria? over what time frame and what was the impact of the civil war

IN 1966 OIL was $3.10. Tell us how many barrels of oil we were exporting in 1966

omonnakoda:
No actually it was not when you do plus and minus ie. Net. Nigeria owes Lagos. Niger Delta oil came on stream after 1973. How was the Nigerian Civil war funded? The Port in Lagos has brought in trillions of Naira into the coffers of Nigeria for minimal investment.

Lagos was the port that sustained Nigeria for 70 years before it started oil exports

sarrki:
Did you say oil ?

Oil is in all part of Nigeria now

Pls bro wake up

In Lagos , bauchi and lake Chad

So the era of our oyel money is gone

omonnakoda:
You are the one who lacks awarness. The ports in Lagos were built before the 50s. Oil was not lifted for export in the 50s. Have you got any figures for the price of oil and the volume lifted for export fom Nigeria before the civil war?? Stop deluding yourself. I have already addressed this issue on this thread and will do it again 100 X if necessary.

Tell us where cocoa and groundnuts exited Nigeria from in the 30s,the 40s the 50s

Was it also this Crude oil that paid for the Niger Bridge and Kainji dam.??
Was it this crude oil that funded the civil war.
We know that the share of the allocation to the Eastern region THROUGHOUT the civil war was retained and reimbursed. Was this from oil receipts?

OIL WAS NEVER above $25 before 1973 (Price adjusted to today's value) i.e in those days it was under $3 and the production in Nigeria had not taken off so do not lie about oil paying for anything before the 70s by which time Lagos was flying.

If you want to know where oil money was spent look at Abuja

Adonike:
serious?
Sometimes I wonder how up to 276 grown ups can be kidnapped without the knowledge of the authorities..
Odiegwu!!!!
