I think Opay is better, considering the fact that Aiico is a marketing job and the second one sound like a scam. Just my opinion tho |
THE OYOs, EYIN Da ?? Since the reign of Ooni Sijuwade , the Ile-Ife throne supremacy agenda had embarked on systemic distortion of Yoruba history with a primary aim of miseducating the incoming generation of Yorubas. In the past forty years, they have influenced the change of school curriculum to eradicate the use of existing standard Yoruba and History text books which put Yoruba history and culture in the right perspective and replaced them with modern text books. They also induced the press to feature falsehood that were targeted at demeaning the throne created by Oranmiyan the biological son of Oduduwa. They went further to distort facts and proofs in the colonial archives which were the earliest written facts of history on the hierarchy of Obas in Yorubaland. They influenced the military and civilian regimes to usurp leadership position among Yoruba Obas. In modern day they went on Internet via Wikipedia and other social media platform to propagate falsehood and discredit authentic Yoruba royal throne. There is also a video in circulation and on YouTube which contains a lot of historical fallacies, distortions and manipulations to Yoruba history. Severally the last two monarchs of Ile-Ife have been giving versions of Oranmiyan's story which were at variance to any known author or researcher just to demean Oranmiyan throne and status. Lately when Ooni Ogunwusi listed Oranmiyan as the first Odole of Ife I realized how desperate they are to even deny Oranmiyan as a great Warrior and ruler. The sad part of this is they are just feeding the younger generation with lies and the youths are fast imbibing the lies. When we argued we are the true Yorubas with facts and proof, they carefully denied being Yorubas by citing some lame excuses forgetting that as Yorubas we have recorded great feats in socio-cultural development, in education, politics, sport, commerce, international Relations, industrial development etc etc. They never saw anything bad in the name "Yoruba" for the past 500years until few days ago. But because they have nothing to counter the claim of the Oyos being the real Yorubas they quickly issued a "Disclaimer" through FFK. I hope one day opinion leaders will muster strength to organize an International standard "Yoruba Summit" which shall address the discrepancies, distortions and facts in the History of our origin. To the Oyos, you don't just sit back and be flaunting your historical prominence locally while other sub ethnic Yorubas are so versed in your own history and they are going to the google and Wikipedia daily to update their history and spread lies to discredit your version of history. The reading culture is dead among the younger generation, the books we referenced to buttress our claims are no more in circulation coupled with the fact that we don't embrace reading culture and we don't have standard public library. We need to update ourselves on history and culture to be able to engage outsiders brilliantly in the debate on Yoruba history. |

Few weeks ago, the Internet was set agog with different stories and explanation about the origin of the word Yoruba and as a Yoruba man, i did some little search and deep thinking about the origin of the name of my tribe. So according to my little research, the Yorubas is an ethnic group that traded with the Arabians, the Berbers of North Africa even down to Timbuktu and the area now known as Mali traded alot with the Yorubas especially with the Oyo's who stay at the Northern part of the Yoruba land and through this there was a mosque in Oyo empire as at 15 century. The Yoruba name has been in existence for as long as the 15th century if not more. Ahmed Baba is one of the earliest documented black scholar and publisher. He published a book in 1615 in Timbuktu in the old Songai empire where he referred to the people currently occupying south west Nigeria as “Yoruba”. Also Bishop Crowther is a learned yoruba man that love his tribe so much and wouldn't give his tribe a name that means deceit or betrayal and the same goes for Reverend Samuel Johnson that wrote lot of history and chronicles about the tribe called Yoruba. These two great sons of Oduduwa will never allow their tribe be called a name of disrespect and according to some other sources the Yoruba name seems to be a word of North Africa/songhai descent that means the remnants of the Canaanites. Thank you for reading, ideas and comments are welcome. |
Good day my fellow nairaland members So i interacted with a friend about the cost of making a bank to bank transfer and he gave me some little tips about the way he does transaction and it goes thus. He has an Opay app so he transfer all the money in his bank account to the Opay app and from the app, he click on the icon of transfer money to bank account and through this, he is only charge a sum of #10 for the transaction instead of #52 that banks charge for transaction. I hope we all can enjoy this great opportunity. |

The OP is a senseless tribal bigot that derives joy in enmity between the Igbos and yoruba, the guy that designed the new logo is just an undergraduate student of UI or so and there is no any sinister motive behind it, so stop acting silly bro. |
