Abagworo: No Warri is an Igbo name.The people we call Owerri today once lived in Warri but relocated via River Niger to present day Owerri. "Warri" is a corruption of the name "Owerri".

geeez: Another Obudu in the making

Slowly and surely, Yorubaland is advancing

This is the same governor that increased the state's IGR from N106m to over N600m within a year and has also turned the state into a huge construction yard

Well done Fayemi

...The various international agencies are taking good look of Ekiti and the Electronics Giants, Samsung has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish an Engineering Academy in Ado Ekiti, the state capital as part of its partnership arrangement with the state government. Samsung is deeply involved in the free laptop for students scheme and the general opening of Ekiti to the ICT hub as being pursued by the Fayemi regime.

alj harem: city of 201 gods

alj harem: This is what I don't like about you Lagos Ijebus. Una don start again

Onirus are not Ijebus, Lekki, Ajah and Badagry are exclusively not Ijebu You did not conquer. It was magomago of which Ijaws are doing now that you use to have those places

Badagry is only Ogu and Awori

The only Ijebu areas I know are Ikorodu, Epe/Ajah axis. NOT LEKKI. But it does not matter anyway, who cares if it is Awori, Ogu or ijebu or even ekiti. We are all Yorubas and that is what matters.

alj harem: LOL well it just prove that you know nothing about the coastal people of the western Nigeria

1. The Eguns are Yorubas
2. The coastal part of Western Nigeria stating from Badagry to Warri are occupied by the following Egun (Badagry- Makoko, -Islands outsaid lagos), Awori (Badagry - Epe - Islands outside lagos), Ijebu ( Ikorodu - Epe), Ilaje ( Makoko - edge of delta state), Itsekiri ( Avocados to Warri)

Now with this setting, you can see it is very very very extremely difficult to PIN POINT WHICH IS IJAWLAND because each clan is end to end setting and inter-crossing each other in a beautiful display called Yoruba.

That is how I asked earlier how Toru-Ebe state would be formed. It is for this reason Ilajes fought Ijaws, Also Itsekiri

Why are they going to take what is not theirs and call it Ijawland. Even gelegele is Yorubiod word and NOT IJAW.

If you ask likes of Killayut to talk, he would say Apapa means groundnut, Kirikiri etc all of which have yoruba meaning

Ok What is Sabo in Yoruba, Nothing but should be annex that to Hausas because Sabo means new in Hausa.

Another one is Oyingbo which means an Igbo person in Igbo language does it mean it has no meaning in Yoruba so it is Igboland ?

NO

Lagos is peculiar and no group that is not of Yoruba origin can lay claim to it. Most Aworis are not even pure, they are either mixed with hausa, bini, etc and I am one of them and I am telling you the reality on ground.

I don't want you to waste your time with the western Nigeria land tussle, politics or power grab issue becasue you would be very surprise at the outcome.

It is a very complex situation in a very delicate balance that should not be tampered with. How many times have you even seen Itskiris who are in distant Delta shout about them not being yoruba or them being part of the Niger-delta republic. I tell you Nigeria can comprehend what is going on unless of course you are a COASTAL Yoruba person and can know Awolowo's plans. Yes Awolowo because he united us.

PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- Nigeria has emerged as a new center for piracy, with the number of attacks steadily increasing despite the government's naval assets, authorities say.

In December 2012 alone, gunmen attacked three commercial vessels within six days, ransacking the ships and taking a total of nine crew members hostage, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

In 2012, there were 27 attacks off Nigeria's coast, said the International maritime Bureau. In 2011, there were 10 incidents of piracy and in 2010, 19.

Comparison can be made to Somalia, on the other side of the continent. But piracy dropped by two-thirds in Somalia last year, and Nigeria has, for Africa, impressive naval resources: warships, a frigate, a number of surveillance drones and 200 naval troops trained by the U.S. navy, as well as a 378-foot Coast Guard cutter.

However, the country has been stymied in the use of those resources. The naval troops are pulling duty land-side, helping to fight terrorists in the desert north. Much of the rest of the equipment has been idled in various states of disrepair or a lack of funding sucked away by corruption.

Shipping lines that hire Nigerian sailors complain they are not adequately trained. And there is the immensity of the task -- Nigeria sits along the 2,100-mile-long coast of the Gulf of Guinea, and pirates have attacked as far as four countries and 400 miles away.

MrCrackles: I will be surprised if Nigeria doesnt collapse before 2013. . . .

bluebarz: I am a Town planner by profession, but have a fair knowledge on architecture since our disciplines are interrelated and inter-studied within the environmental science field. It will also please you to know that you don't have to study architecture in school or be an architect in order to be an architectural model maker, all you need know is the basics and some other few architectural guidelines.

talktimi: Its quite obvious the acn are a politically intolerant party, everyone outside their establishment is considered a thief and a fool even though the speaker of the lagos state house of assembly still has questions to answer bothering on corruption. Immediately the so called pdp thieves cross over to the acn, all sins are forgiven and they are automatically saints. Funny party

kingoflag: My man, what are you sniffing?

Alxmyr: All these lazy dish-washing, taxi driving, nannies will not continue living in their cold huts they call home in wherever they are hiding and stop talking trash about Nigeria.

GEJ lied? Surprise , surprise. Asking GEJ not to lie is like expecting the pope not to pray.

Iran is said to be currently in contact with the world powers on possible meeting.
A senior Iranian lawmaker said the country was willing to resume nuclear talks with the world powers, the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Thursday.

Rapporteur of Iranian Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, Hossien Naqavi-Hosseini, said that since Iran considers having a peaceful nuclear program as its right and can back its claim with legal documents, it is willing to negotiate with the UN Security Council to settle the standoff over its nuclear program, according to the report.

However, it seems that the world powers lack the determination to resolve Iran’s nuclear issue, he was quoted as saying.
“In the course of the (past) nuclear talks, Iran has had maximum cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the P5+1(referring to the global powers),” Mr. Naqavi-Hosseini said.

He added that Iran “does not see real determination in the P5+1 to resolve the nuclear case.”
Iranian officials have said that lifting sanctions is a primary step for the success of Iran’s future nuclear talks with the world powers.

Iran has also reiterated that its right of nuclear enrichment for civilian ends should be recognized by the world powers.
Iran and the world powers including the US and the UK have held several rounds of talks over its controversial nuclear program, but no agreement has been reached so far.

Both sides are currently in contacts to prepare the grounds for another round of meeting.
Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator said on Wednesday that Tehran welcomes the readiness of the six major world powers to hold constructive talks with the country, according to Press TV.

Saeed Jalili, who is in New Delhi on an official visit, added that “just as Iran feels obligated to act within the framework of the IAEA regulations and in line with the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), it is adamant on asserting its rights within the same framework.”

The U.S. cannot impose its arbitrary “less-rights-and- more-obligations’’ model on the Iranian nation on the nuclear issue, Mr. Jalili was quoted as saying.
The West has accused Iran of secretly developing nuclear weapons under the guise of its civilian nuclear program, a charge Tehran has consistently denied.

The five permanent members of the Security Council are the U.S., Britain, France, Russia and China — plus Germany, known as P5+1.

4tunebest: No need to resign if there isn't any alternative. Bear in mind that this too shall pass; its only a matter of time. Cheers

Gbawe: Don't mind the shameless mischief-maker. Beaf trained him and others well in the art of weasel-like and ignoble conduct. How can he reconcile the title of his thread with the content? Is Osun the only State mentioned for his thread to be titled as it is? Is there not even a section of the article where the spokesman of Aregbesola states that Osun has complied with paying the minimum wage? The chap is simply as slimy, unprincipled and as slithering as Beaf was. That fool too (Beaf) never stopped obsessing about Aregbesola 24/7 while his own State Governor (Uduaghan) was running his Delta State into the ground without so much as a peep from his cowardly and lying tongue.

anonimi: Of course Osun is not the only state in the list.
Did you see that I highlighted Anambra where APGA has Obi but I don't have much stake there?
However, when a person dey [size=13pt]form sey na im holy pass,[/size] it becomes imperative to point out his weakness HOPEFULLY so he can correct himself. QED

anonimi: Aregbesola cannot pay 18,000 minimum wage
