ArodewilliamsT:Hear your miserable self. Do you think you sound intelligent with this rubbish you post right there? So it's my father that sired those Binis bearing Bose, Temi, Ayo, Toyin...etc? Bini colonized the Yorubas so much that the title of their King is a proper yoruba noun? It is obvious that the Biniss copied from the Yorubas because the morphemes of the word, O (the one) and ba (rules) that make up the their title "Oba", are non-existent among them. No beautifully concocted stories will change the facts. |
italo:Since you know so much about Bini kingdom, your ignorance of their use of yoruba words in their incantations and bearing of yoruba names can not be excused. |
ArodewilliamsT:Why is it that the Binis are being influenced by Yoruba culture that many of them bear our names, speak our language and even use pure Yoruba words in their incantations, if Oduduwa was a Bini Prince? Don't you think, it should be the other way round? |
italo:That the Yorubas have tremendous influence on the Binis is evident even in Bini palace. Oduduwa is a Bini prince and yet the Binis bear Yoruba name and even use Yoruba words in incantations? Shouldn't it be the other way round? Do you know the word "Oba" used as the title of Bini kings is a Yoruba word? If you must know, Oba has no meaning in Bini. Before you tell the Yorubas adopt the name from the Binis, Oba is an Egyptian name which also means king- same meaning as in Yoruba. May be the Egyptians are Binis too. ![]() For God's sake, Oba is just a common word/name in Yoruba, and that's why you don't see us use it as proper title for our kings. Is it still news to you that Oduduwa came from that part of the world and not Bini? You can believe whatever makes you happy, but don't be caught up in your own delusion. My one kobo. |
How will the office of the SGF bring development to the SE? The last occupant is from Ebony State, but the state still remain the most backward in the whole Southern Nigeria. |
...the more you refine, the more value you add and the more revenue you earn from your crude.Basic Petroleum Economics ![]() |
...yes...over and over again. |
TijaniAbu:The new EFCC Chairman will see to that. Toyin was sitting while EFCC Officers were standin? So it should be the reverse? Have you ever seen where investigators quiz suspects before? |
He disclosed further that ” In EFCC’s “SUMMARY OF EFCC MONETARY RECOVERIES 2003-MARCH, 2013” (11 financial years), EFCC stated that the aggregate recoveries for eleven financial years is N497,385,427,485:63; EFCC did not mention where the N497.3 Billion recovered was remitted to, going by the following breakdown- 2003—N974,783,213:06 2004—N21,018,557,263:28 2005—N71,053,996,008:60 2006—N8,199,908,189:03 2007—N41,479,032,319:70 2008—N44,542,822,622:30 2009—N255,306,693,033:55 2010—N10,559,513,355:91 2011—N11,117,460,717:88 2012—N27,844,769,688:19 2013—N5,287,891,074:13 This one don pass Lamorde o. Ribadu and Waziri are still alive. They should join Lamorde in the next hearing. Lamorde should be suspended with immediate effect and another Person who is worthy of heading an anti-graft agency like the EFCC should take over and continue with the probe of Toyin Saraki, past chairmen of EFCC, and others. All things work for good. Saraki will not go down alone. Dragging as many corrupt people as possible with him is permitted. However, he will be making a great mistake if he thinks this revelation will halt his own case. |
xtrorse:Hate speeches being spread on your Radio is setting the stage for violence. It's a matter of a short time. |
Some people will not like this |
So in essence, he went AWOL. |
Eziachi:Ask for what you need in a direct, respectful manner. Calling Nigerians, animals in the Zoo and calling for violence against them will only strengthen their resolve to make your Biafran dream remain what it is- a dream. No amount of noise from the Radio or Tv will move Nigeria or make the government call for referendum. Not even meetings with the UN and other international organizations will achieve that, until you people form a united front and approach the government politely and see what happens after that. The IPOB or what's it called is not ready to take the path of peace. All it sought to achieve is blackmail and threaten a Sovereign Nigeria into submission- which we all know is impossible, but still continue anyway. Nnamdi should for now, concentrate on getting political and opinion leaders from the East to believe in his Biafran dream. It's only then, he can think of facing the Larger Nigeria. Ojukwu was able to get the Ibos to speak with one voice then, because of his position in the Eastern region. This Kanu guy is just a nobody, or at best, someone in the class of Shekau. Or how is he planning to get all the SE Governors, Senators, Members, HoR and others to follow him sheepishly without seeking their support first? Or is he planning to throw the SE into a state of anarchy? I can only see an IPOB transforming into insurgency. And when shiit hits the fan, whatever the Government decides to do with anyone identified with the group will be justified- just as no one sees anything wrong in wiping out BH insurgents. You don't say you're planning to turn everywhere in Nigeria to something worse than Somalia- just what BH is planning to achieve- and and we'll just sit by and watch. No one has to die because of this, but if Kanu and his host of supporters- who believe they are in slavery in Nigeria- think the only way to get freedom is by insulting and threatening other Nigerians with violence, we can only wait for them to live up to their words. |
Mckennedy:Did you see anywhere I complained in my post ![]() |
liberty300:I'm not against your biafran dream. Nigeria will, with time, eventually break-up, though never by your agitations. But the way you people do things, just doesn't cut it. So backward. However, the journey to getting biafra is still some centuries away, because as it is with the Jews, so shall it be with the Ibos. In other words, till Jesus comes ![]() |
“a good number of who is who in the South East attended in their traditional regalia and as the activities progressed, it was nothing but Biafra with inciting and provocative speech by one speaker after another, this made other Nigerian (Non-Igbos) to make a dramatic walk outImagine this shìt! Turned someone's birthday party, cum book launch to an avenue to propagate Biafra. Shameless dolts. *spits* |
Resign or be sacked by who? Yeye dey smell. I didn't know Ozekhome- a Senior Advocate of Wailers- is now the President. |
...no doubt about that. I pray God give him sound health. |
Aderemi lost it. It's out of place for an Oduduwa Prince to sit below another "prince" whatsoever the reason. This foool must not ascend that throne. Never! |
OldJohn:Did you read this? “No, this is not a government of probes. It is a government of due process and law and order. President Buhari is dealing with the matters he has found on the table and he has no power under the constitution to wave them. If someobody had stolen Nigeria’s one billion dollars of oil, President Buhari is not authorized to wave it off under the law. He should ask questions. There is no probe going on now. People who are creating the spectre of probes in the country just want to create unnecessary fear”, he said.This is not a government of probes, but cases of theft evident in Jonathan reign will not go unsettled. As you know, democracy- which breeds unnecessary delay and bottlenecks- is the reason why Jonathan is still a free man. Jonathan peace committee members are not finding this as a laughing matter, even now that business has not started yet. They are worried Jonathan will soon be locked up without trial and here you are laughing out loud. ![]() But then, Garba is assuring them that due process will be the watchword. So why are you in a hurry to see Goodluck being disgraced when we still have 45 months ahead? |
klax:Keep quiet! Garba was just exposing wailers' hypocrisy. Buhari is already setting the stage to probe all alleged case of corruption, so no one is left out. However, probing the immediate past administration of Jonathan will take the top seat in the fight against corruption. |
OldJohn:They had "nothing" on Jonathan? Is that supposed to be a joke? If you don't know, there are sufficient evidence on ground to send him to life imprisonment. Forget what you're reading on papers and appreciate the fact that Buhari hasn't decided what to do with him yet. |
adjoviomole:The probes won't be limited to the last 6 years alone. To start with, the probes have not commenced yet , but first thing, first, the recent thieves will get urgent attentions. |
We'll talk about this in the fall of 2022. For now, Baba is still on top until further notice. |
I wonder o. Now wailers want Buhari to do what's primarily the duty of Jonathan. |
I pray Biafra is actualized as soon as possible. |
Lamorde should appear before the Senate for questioning. If found culpable, he should be removed and another EFCC Chairman who would take over his investigation, that of Toyin and other thieves, be appointed as soon as possible. |
I don't expect the Wailer-in-Chief to say otherwise |
4Play:And I still insist that the President doesn't know about the said agreement. You probably too young to know that prior to May 29, Jonathan's transition committee members refused to cooperate with that of Buhari. If your lord Jonathan and his gangs mean well for this country and were not trying to hide anything, "matters of vital national interest such as how the sale of oil to the country's biggest customer is conducted" and issue of any pending agreements would have been addressed. What do we have? A Jonathan government who would rather Buhari finds out everything by himself. As you can see, the sanitation of the system is still ongoing. We have a new NNPC boss, and expecting a new Petroleum resources Minister. You don't expect us to still be using Jonathan intermediates by now, do you? As for the agreement, a proper one will be made, because, certainly, none is in the record. You made a wholly false assertion about GEJ inheriting virtually no debt and are now cravenly trying to slither away from your dishonesty. GEJ inherited a large debt, he added substantially to it and Buhari has continued in the same vein in his brief tenure by adding substantial amounts to the FG's debt load.And can you tell us the value of the"large debt" Jonathan inherited and how much he added to it? We'll judge Buhari in 2019. Having it in mind that the FG is highly geared when he assumed office. I always laugh at those who say the present Govt is struggling today because of the past Govt. GEJ has not taken the oil wells with him back to Otueke. If you believed the outlandish claims about ginormous amounts of money being stolen by GEJ and his cronies, it would follow that once GEJ left power, those oil revenues which previously were stolen would no longer be stolen. If you have any brain cells, you would recognise that this is entirely separate from the matter of already looted amounts. In a counterfactual world in which the looted amounts were not looted in the first place, it wouldn't make any difference to the FG's day to day revenues and expenditures. If you believe that $20bn was stolen in an 18 month period, you have to believe that such amount, once we discount the fall in oil price, would now accrue to the FG. Instead, we see the FG continue to borrow like nothing has changed. The coming years will provide a harsh dose of reality for you gullible Nigerians.You've not told me why Jonathan was borrowing to pay salaries in his latter days in office, despite that oils well have not dried up. Unlike Jonathan, Buhari inherited an empty treasury, low oil price and low demand for oil. To make things worse, Jonathan left some salaries unpaid. Crude oil sold for around $100/barrel for most part of Jonathan's sorry reign; yet no savings, but instead, went on borrowing when we had surplus. Defies logic? What's the benchmark again and what's the price of oil now? We have an excess of the equivalent of one year budget accounted for in Jonathan's regime, so he didn't use it all to balance the budget due to oil glut and he didn't even start borrowing when the price of oil started to fall. If you had any economic sense, you should know that borrowing is necessary in this case to finance the budget, but then, you're a TANoid...clueless as ever. |
This generation ... - This age; this race of people. A generation is about 30 or 40 years. The destruction of Jerusalem took place about forty years after this was spoken. Till all these things ... - Until these things shall be accomplished. Until events shall take place which shall be a fulfillment of these words, if there were nothing further intended. He does not mean to exclude the reference to the judgment, but to say that the destruction of Jerusalem would be such as to make appropriate the words of the prediction, were there nothing beyond. So when "death" was threatened to Adam, the propriety of the threatening would have been seen, and the threatening would have been fulfilled, had people suffered only temporal death. At the same time the threatening had "a fullness of meaning" that would cover also, and justify, eternal death. Thus the words of Christ describing the destruction of Jerusalem had a fulness of signification that would meet also the events of the judgment, and whose meaning would not be "entirely filled up" until the world was closed. |
