Are you saying that Oduduwa and Oranmiyan are not of Yoruba descent?
When did Yoruba start? Did anyone call himself/herself Yoruba during the times of Oduduwa or Oranmiyan? The concept of Yoruba ethnic group started much more after these historical figures
Great2017: But wait a minute, where did Oduduwa come from?
There's no consensus on where he came from , only Oduduwa himself can truly answer this question.
However, we need to know that human beings have lived in all parts of what we now know as southern Nigeria including Ife, Benin, Ijero, Ire, Ora for thousands of years before Oduduwa was born.
My brother in-law was a member of an Archeological team that excavated the site of an ancient community near Iresi, Osun and they found remains of people who died there 5000 years ago.
Radiocarbon dating showed that the Obelisk at Ife (commonly attributed to Oranmiyan) was constructed around 100AD.
Coins minted by the Roman Empire 2000 years ago have been discovered in Archeological sites in Nigeria
nairalandankrah: You think if Kanu is killed, Joe will be free?? I laugh in Swahili.. Someone that even his village people hate with passion cos of his numerous atrocities. Joe should pray that Nothing bad happens to Kanu or else his own is finished.. Not just him but his entire lineage!
The DSS should take note of the person behind this moniker.
Busted234: This got me lol. You funny die, yorubas and their twisted confused history. Yorubas claims Oduduwa fell from d sky o and choose ile ife of all places to land.
You don't even know the differences between myths and Histories.
The myths of Legends falling from the sky and landing on Earth can be found in all ancient cultures including Greek, Egyptian, Indian and ironically the Benin (the Ogiso were said to have descended from the sky) and Igbos (Eri)
icebird25: And I don't know how Benin kingdom who's the second oldest kingdom in Africa after king pharoah ...will originate from youruba it sounds strange..
Before he was called the ancient city of Benin una think say na by play abi
The kingdom didn't originate from Yoruba but the incumbent Oba ruling dynasty originated from Oranmiyan, a Yoruba prince and grandson of Oduduwa.
Before Oranmiyan, there was no Oba in the town, instead they had Ogisos. Oranmiyan renamed the town (formerly called Igodomingodo) , Ile Ibinu which was corrupted to Ubinu and later on Bini.
sonofspada: Our problem is that cattle rearers are ruling us, we need doctors,scientists and educationists .
The current state of Aba is deliberate and intentional by the powers MNK is also fighting.
Receive sense!
Who are the people MNK is fighting and how has his first contribute to the development of Abia State in terms of education, healthcare or waste disposal?
WHees: Were you referring to the machina folks? If yes you are wrong, machina emirate was ruled by the kanuri/manga/bare-bari since time immemorial, the ngizim has never settle in machina, their root is the place where they are still ruling upto this day which is potiskum.
1) The Ngizism formed and control the traditional system in Potiskum (even though, the Bolewa ruler of the more developed Fika Emirate has relocated to Potiskum since 1922).
2) However, Ngizism people are also found as co-owners of villages under Nangere and Funa LGAs of Yobe State and their language appear closer to the Bade Language of Gashua Emirate.
3) Machina is Kanuri or more correctly, Mangawa which is like an adulterated form of Kanuri.
4) Machina and Nguru are neighbours and speak similar Manga dialects of the Kanuri Language.
Standing5: it is one thing to have raw material and another thing to have it at competitive market price. Saudi Arabia get crude out of the ground at around $10 while we get ours out at almost twice that price. If you aim was to refine crude for Nigerian market, where will you favour for raw material? Saudi Arabia of course!
Do you know the prices that Saudi Arabia will sell their crude oil to you as a Nigerian Refinery company and the cost of transporting the crude from Saudi Arabia to Edo Refinery in Southern Nigeria?
gasparpisciotta: Have the Police and crime scene examiners concluded their investigation?
Why is a crime scene open to journalists?
The investigation is being bungled by the Police.
A very good lawyer will win this case and Chidinma will get away with minimal punishment/sentence.
So you think there should be no punishment for a 21 year old lady who generated fake International Number to book an apartment in order to sleep with a 50year old man only for her to drugged the man, strangled him by breaking his neck, stabbed him multiple times to make sure that he was truly dead and went ahead to withdraw his money?
Chindma is a hardened criminal and possibly a professional assassin in the making.
The first stabbed was straight to the JUGULAR artery supplying blood to the brain with high precision and this was done in addition to turning the neck 180 Degrees.
Only someone with good knowledge of human anatomy or professional assassins understand these weak points.
MartinsD12: Even at that let's assume she stabbed the man on the neck that shouldn't cause a broken neck, broken neck means the an extra force of straggling was applied to the man's neck to dislocate the neck and for the money she says she took 380k while the reporting says 5 million was withdrawn from the man's account the remaining is with who? That's pointing to the fact it might be a deal she got her own share of the money
But why is Chidinma not naming her accomplices to the murder? Why will she suffer alone while the other co-perterators are free? Who is she making this huge sacrifice for?
*Her Boyfriend? Not likely
* Her Friends? Not likely
*Her blood family members? Seems very likely... Chidinma's father should be investigated.
elganzar: she may not have been THE ONLY ONE that killed him...Respect yourself sir
I am suspecting Mr Ojukwu (Chidinma's father) as a possible accomplice to the murder. He might have lodged in the next room pretending to be a different guest.
For Chidinma not to reveal the identity of her co-conspirators mean her co-killer is dear to her. She can only agree to take the fall for her family members.
brightalo1010: So Chidinma took the atm card went and picked the 350k came back and drop the card for another person to take the same atm card to collect the 5 million abi? Or is there report of withdrawal of money from 2 different ATM cards or direct withdrawal from the bank either through app or otherwise?
You can't withdraw #5 millions through ATM. Someone who got his BVN must have transferred the #5 millions from his account.
This Chindma might be a female member of a criminal syndicate.
jlo247: If you think that Chidinma ojukwu has a helper when killing this man you are on a long thing. Some said the small girl can't kill the man because his older than her. Do you think age makes you stronger than other people? I can bet my two balls na the girl killed the man alone. All what the family are saying are just mere talk.
The girl is capable of killing Ataga alone after poisoning him with the drug.
However, who had Ataga's BVN and was able to transfer #5 Million from one of his accounts?
SouthSouth1914: The girl was used to lure the victim, she administered concoctions that made him slept off! He was tied, and when he woke up, he was tortured in other to give out his PIN number, and then killed in cold blood.
Suspects- Business partners, the victims wife, the girl’s ex boyfriend.
Pointers- Police should look into any recent business dealings the victim has done, any recent disagreements? Next of kin should be questioned also!
Conclusions- The girl is just an accessory to murder, I am assuming she was promised 5-10M Naira for her role. Offcourse, a drop/part payment was done to her before this incident. Her call log should be made available 1-2 weeks before the killings. Offcourse they won’t discuss the murder over the phone, they should watch out for locations i.e, “Let’s meet at”..
Nigerian police are too weak in investigations, I just made their job easier!! Thank me later
If NIgerian Police want to do their job thoroughly, they know how to do it. The problem with the Police, like the rest of NIgerian society is Corruption!
autofixng: Am sure you have one if this light on your instrument cluster.
Why allow guess work on your car?
I hope you keep the replaced fuel pump and stop the further guess work on your car and go for a diagnosis of the system so as to know the actual cause of the malfunction.
Check our signature for full car diagnosis.
Yes, you are correct sir.
My Nissan Sentra 2010 Model displayed 'Service Engine' soon light recurrently for over 6months and it doesn't start anymore even though the ignition is on and rolling.
What can be wrong sir. The Rewires in Osun State where the car was parked has been doing Trial & error
HEAVEN4444: she wont go free. she will be put in jail. but when the case gets cold and everyone has moved on she will be released through back door route and smuggled abroad. and dpo will be 10 million naira richer. you think they will let a beautiful girl like this sit in jail forever ? no way. there are millions of big men right now who are willing to give her parents the money. rich men think with their genitals and no way they will let such a beautiful girl sit in jail with hardened criminals. orji kalu will give her parents the 10 million to free her through the back door
Which beauty are you talking about? Is she the only beautiful girl ever arrested by the Police? Do you know how many beautiful girls are in prisons?
Do you think these so-called rich men don't see other pretty girls that they are so captivated by this suspected murderer's beauty?
If this is the ways Orji Kalu gives out #10 Millions recklessly, he will be broke by now. People don't part away with their money anyhow unless, there's a handsome reward for doing so.
Orji Kalu will rather do everything not to be associated with this kind of a girl.
okoroemeka: hmm, were the lady is going she will plead to die and go to hell but hell will not come,she will at least stay up to 3-5 years in awaiting trial detention (the DPP will make sure of that) before she will be sentenced to death or life in prison,she will be confined with little or no movement in the prison yard as a condemned criminal,she will be raped,abused by all and sundry,from IPO,inspector to prison warder,she will beg for death to come but death will not hear,I have had a close personal harrowing experience from the justice system in Nigeria, after 6 months of solitary confinement and nearly lossing my sanity,nowadays I think before I act.
My brother, if you are not a big man, Nigeria is a very wrong place to be in Police custody or Prison. The system is demoralizing enough.
One political thug in our home town was arrested and taken to the Police Command Headquarters where he was put inside a 'sinle cell' which is just about 4 feets high and look more like a human cage. Inside this cell, you can't either stand-up erect or sit down properly. You will have to bend in a very inconvenient position for long.
Voy: bro! I only brought the news to u, I no be lawyer and I’m not under attack o
Besides, if you closely examine the dead body of Ataga coupled with Chindma's confession, the ways he was stabbed can not be called in 'Self-defence'. 1) She first stabbed him in the neck, cutting the JUGULAR artery which cut-off blood supply to the brain. . .This suggest a professional or well planned attack. The precision of this cut means Ataga 'cooperated' to be stabbed. This can only be done if he is sedated and not in State of full consciousness.
2) Multiple stabs to the chest, Tommy and even legs. These were done to make sure that he didn't survive.
In cases of self-defense, one or two cuts to weaken him would have been enough for Chidinma to escape but she continued stabbing him.
3) In all of these stabbing, Ataga didn't attack or injure her in return- this mean he was in a disadvantaged/helpless position.
hammer3x: DONT YOU THINK THAT IS ALL YOU PROUD YORUBA DO ON NAIRALAND.
SHOULD A PROUD YORUBA NOT BE TALKING ABOUT YORUBA MATTERS?
Shut up you pathetic fool!
This is not about tribe but human lives and crime.
Every unpunished crime is an invitation to further crimes.
The main reason why the killer Herdsmen are killing people freely is because no herdsmen have been arrested, tried and killed by firing squad with a nation wide Television coverage of the Shooting.
A murderer if let go freely will most likely repeat the act, inspire other runs babes to boldly kill their clients over any trivial matters and she can even kill you that come from her tribe.
Carparts888: Why arrest owner of apartment? He should have just been interviewed and written a statement then let go so far he is not connected to the murder
You don't know Nigeria Police at all. The owner of the Apartment will spend nothing less than #500,000 to free himself from this matter.
Is it Lagos state or Mrs Ataga that will get justice?? If Mrs Ataga refuses to press charges, Lagos state will have nothing to do about it. unless “MR ATAGA” doesn’t have anyone to help press on his behalf, then the Lagos state government takes up the case.
Try to READ and understand the differences between Criminal Cases and Civil Cases. After this you can come back for this discussion.
