This interpretation as been debated in Harvard by the best. This was the religion the priest in Egypt (kemet) practiced in the early centuries e.g 600B.C .. Even at the time of Queen of shiba. Greece had theirs, Arabs had theirs, this religion was before Christianity or Islam. If you doubt, can you please tell us what was the religion of Moses and Jesus when they were on earth.

souldust: for the answer you gave volvos60, rosikke i would give you my daughter to be your wife for free if i had one. I just like the response die. I enjoy am to the last. E sweet me for belle pass anything.

Volvo, you talked about a right to air a contrary view. Well like some one said; you can start a thread to talk about that contrary view no problem! The guy is not talking about average life of anyone. He was only trying to tell a truth...a truth he backed up with pics. The truth he was trying to tell is that; lagos is gradually begining to attract tourists as you saw in those pics. Honestly, i have never seen tourists in lagos before. But we are begining to see them now. Thats change!

We thank God for Fashola. When a leader inspires and gives hope to his people, they will be motivated to think in a creative and innovative manner.

buchai: Gov. Fashola is very very expensive in governance, he builds only for the rich drives away the middle class, suppress the poor even his kinsmen n women are not leftout. For him to champion the leadership of this great country as n0 1 man he must learn how to be humble in TALK, be passionate and friendly atimes, and must have a strong sence of humor. Governance and leadership is not all about high handedness.

lol, you are so funny, do you know that 65% of the middle class in nigeria and businesses are in lagos. it seems you have never been to nigeria in a long time, just reading about nigeria on the internet

pheesayor: If fashola was President:
Tinubu will be powerless because his power has always been using the house of Assembly to blackmail fashola and it won't work because the house will still contain majority of pdp, in turn they will check his excesses.
We will hear less promises and more implementations Unlike gej who only knows how to promise and not fulfill.
Fashola can rule this country but unfortunately I feel he's not interested and if he is I will vote for him, he seems to be ACN's only sellable candidate despite his few flaws.

What of jonathan with his pdp leaders like obasanjo and babangida

2sexy: [size=15pt]As Usual, Nigerian are always blind to see even the most Obvious truth... KAI! The country is finished.

Mr Man, My question to you is What qualification or experience has he(GEJ) got to rule a complex country like Nigeria?

This country is gone...[/size]

From secondary school teacher to president lmao, what a country

Slyp: Considering the revenue fashola is making in Lagos state I can say categorically that fashola is under performing. I will give to oshomole becaüse he is making judicious use of the little revenue and fg allocation.

Do you even know how much it is costing lagos to build our train, over $1 billion (150 billion naaira) how much is d revenue. stop acting like a naive person

Fashola all the waaaaaaaaaaayy

Do you all realize that all the other states collect almost twice 2x the money given to lagos state from the federal government. The population of all this other states are less than 8 million and Lagos state as a population of 20 million plus.

Lagos is a little nigeria on its own, lagos as every citizen of nigeria, west africa and maybe africa as a whole present there.

[b]Yoruba calendar
From Wikipedia

The Yoruba calendar (Kojoda) year starts from 3 June to 2 June of the following year. According to this calendar, the Gregorian year 2008 A. D. is the 10050th year of Yoruba culture. The traditional Yoruba week has four days. The 4 days that are dedicated to the Orisa goes as follow:

Day 1 is dedicated to Obatala (Sopanna, Iyaami, and the Egungun)

Day 2 is dedicated to Orunmila (Esu and Osun) *

Day 3 is dedicated to Ogun (Osoosi)

Day 4 is dedicated to Sango (Oya)

To reconcile with the Gregorian calendar, Yoruba people also measure time in seven days a week and four weeks a month. The four day calendar was dedicated to the Orisas and the seven day calendar is for doing business.

The seven days are: Ojo-Aiku (Sunday), Oko-Aje (Monday), Ojo-Ishegun (Tuesday), Ojo-Riru (Wednesday), Ojo-Bo/Alamisi (Thursday), Ojo-Eti (Friday) and Ojo-Abameta (Saturday).

Time is measured in isheju (minutes), wakati (hours), ojo (days), ose (weeks), oshu (months) and odun (years). There are 60 (ogota) isheju in 1 (okan) wakati; 24 (merinlelogun) wakati in 1 ojo; 7 (meje) ojo in 1 ose; 4 (merin) ose in 1 oshu and 52 (ejileladota)ose in 1 (okan) odun. There are 12 (mejila) oshu in 1 (okan) odun.

The traditional Yoruba calendar (Kojoda) has a 4-day week and 91 weeks in a year. The Yoruba year spans from 3 June of a Gregorian calendar year to 2 June of the following year. According to the calendar developed by the thinker, Remi-Niyi Alaran, the Gregorian year 2011 A. D. is the 10053th year of Yoruba records of time.[2] With the British colonial and European cultural invasions, came the need to reconcile with the Gregorian calendar: Yoruba people also measure time in seven days a week and 52 weeks a year.

afam4eva: It's not a matter of PDP being bad. If ACN cannot give the people what they want, they're definitely going to look for alternatives. HUman beings are emotional by nature and they can even give PDP another try.
