An on the topic of the roots of Benin.it has been addressed conclusively.Benin draws its roots from Ife.

Benin should actually be proud of that association.

Ha, ok you are making your fake history and your obvious lies about archeology in order to sell land 🤣

Been uneducated itself is not bad.But when you receive information refusing to ask more and learning more on the topic.Thats something Else entirely that's inexcusable.

I'll send you on a a learning trip.Find the most prestigious archeology institutes in the world.Go search their archeology department for their list of present projects.Thats a good place to start.

Yoruba is an other spelling for yarri.ba which is the former name of Oyo. And it's king is titled Alafin, also it has nothing to do with what Nigerians identify as Yoruba today.

The Yoruba people are older,way older than Oyo

That's how far you know...

Ife and aboriginal Yoruba Kings predate Oyo,Benin and many empires put together

People need to read the scriptures more.

There's a place in the old testament where God described how he dressed Israel as of she was a woman. He described placing jewellery either on her nose or so can't remember.

The matter of dressing has been ,is and will always be about the culture of the time.

Pastors should stop putting obstacles to men reaching God.God himself said it's the innermost parts(thoughts) of a man that defines him. Let everyone watch their hearts.

Vado2:
The Yorubas are primarily descendants of ex-slaves who moved from South America. Because they received a western education, they exploited it as a weapon to fabricate history and utilized cunning and treachery to gain relevance. The Oyo-Empire legend is all folklore. You refer to an empire that ruled over Dahomey, Contonu, and portions of the Upper Volta as a sub-kingdom? To overthrow the empire, they had to wage war. You must be joking I guess.

The fact that an African child write this is deeply disturbing. In view of the fact that history and archaeology clearly documents the existence of 3 oyo kingdoms so far (by location). Each one lesser in might and grandiosity than the previous one.And yes there is still an Oyo kingdom today

How do you all not know this?

Hope you all know that ife has been one of the largest archeological research sites globally in the last 5 years.

With its archeological team from the best archeological institutes in the world. The findings so far are deep, very deep.

Yoruba civilization at ife is one of the oldest in the world. And they have their history well documented in writing and orally with its findings been corroborated by modern day archeological findings. You can all argue all you want the yorubas as a people do not play ,fight or argue on matters that does not in anyway improve them. Like that saying that "the lion does not concern itself with the opinion of sheep".

Here's a tip for you all ...buy land in ife, foreigners are doing so already.by the time those publications are made public after peer review. Ife will be viewed as a holy and revered city that it is globally.

Here's a fun fact.The title of Oni historically was that of a priest not a king.The story of the kings of ancient Yoruba is another story entirely ...

It doesn't matter the kind, all yahoo is bad, some people kill themselves in silence because of depression.

I totally agree with you.

Peter Obi showed a weak character by allowing such negativity to be associated with his campaign without addressing it.

He is complicit as even his post election tribunal case which is his justification for rejecting the outcomes of the election was completely designed around character defamation.This shows his first interest was not the preservation of the National image or interests

Obidients need to call out the renegades in their rank on such acts and hold them accountable to acting better

Such hate speech needs to be addressed.

Let us remember that it was hate speech targetted at the police force during the end sars saga that led to the invasion of their barracks by hoodlums who went door to door maiming and killing people.

That led to the Governor's mother's house been burnt and many other crimes

Hate speech fuelled the Holocaust.Civilized society do not allow it in their midst.

This is wrong on all accounts..blackmailing kids and sending such horrible messages while at it.

Making this kind of money should be frowned at.If found guilty Their friends, families and communities should be called out on such characters within them enough for them to issue statements disowning such acts.

This is a shame to an entire nation not just the perpetrators and we must speak up against it

May the soul of the young man rest in peace

You all know there are locally produced beer and wine in Nigeria?(Guinness and co)

They employ, pay taxes and generate huge sums of forex for naija through export of their products...

Why should we then encourage the foreign brands proliferation of our markets at no extra cost to them?

The extra tax on imported beverages and beer is in order.

In addition Lagos increased lastma officers salary by 100 percent That is x2 at the onset of the program.

Part of the income generated from the automated process was the planned source of payment for the salary increase.

It's really not compulsory to pass a comment.sometimes persons with no in-depth clue on a matter should just read,observe and learn.

It is a good practice which will help nairaland

It's okay to be here for the comments

Surprised that a lot of Nigerians don't know or have not heard of this sort of identity theft before.

It's actually quite common and people should learn how to protect themselves from it. Heard of stories like this in the past especially with the UK.People lived whole lives with other people's identity, some committed crimes and fled and left the real person to face the heat

Either way this needs to be investigated to a conclusive end and the culprit fished out

For me the question is why France TV

So they gave her free airtime for this? Why and how is it France?

Someone needs to trace and explain that link asap

And also a career activist at 22 in Nigeria is a joke.She knows nothing,has contributed nothing to Governance other than been a spectator and critic. She has not earned her stripes she should go and sit down till she can tell us what sector she has contributed something to for Nigeria and it's populace

While it's okay for Nigeria to indulge her.Shame on France for encouraging this ...but again we should be saying " we see you france'" and your new stooge on the block.

PS there are probably cultists in every association in today's university (religious ones not exempted)

Rewrite this with the title how to end cultism amongst today's youth

Kegites use to be a sociocultural club for the promotion of the african culture

Synonyms... Egb elemu, palmwine drinkers association etc

They dress in their regalia(usually an African attire) gather at leas tonce a week and drink palm wine from calabashes while they sing African songs to the local drums to their hearts content.Other serious matters may be discussions that relate to African culture I guess.never attended

Think of the average English pub filled with young men discussing politics or "ingland" , the old African village market square etc.

They were young men gathering the African way to do what young men do for leisure ... Drink ,sing ,gather in public and have fun

What they have now become I do not know,but I don't think anyone should be banning any club that promotes African culture or values especially such an old one at that.

If they have any challenges they should be assisted to be reformed especially by their old members and the school system

In today's world of high anxiety amongst youths,depression and suicide...they are a reminder tha young men should take things easy,sing and have fun too and not everyone will do your fellowship setting(fact)

Summary-Let the kegites be just advice them on reforms that may help

I will conclude by letting you know in one of the lamentations in the bible.the person praying for help noted how the young men "do not sing songs again" as evidence their land was not in a happy state. Let the young men sing and be happy.They should also drink if they so desire,but all should be done in moderation.

This is why we support tinubu, if not for the influx of people from failed states on a daily basis that come and overwhelm the infrastructures of Lagos. Eko for don go far pass this.
No right thinking person will choose a man who led a state and couldn't even increase the IGR in 8 years over a person who drew a master plan, increased IGR to achieve the plan and ensured that successive government after him achieve the plan for the benefit of all.
I can't wait for may 29th to start the renewed Hope. God bless Nigeria and it's people.

You forgot to add despite no allocation from FG which all States and Lagos needed to survive at that time

GRV addressing Lagos civil service is like.
Eri Erin ni abata.....

Eredo of all places. Do you even know the depth of indigenous history associated with that place?

Why take your campaign train and divisive slogans there of all places?

Joe igbokwe and the LBS man would have been more worthy candidates should the eastern heritage truly want a competitive shot at Lagos Governance.But those ones have sense to refuse a post like that

On experience sanwoolu had Lagos state administrative experience ,it's governance process and was familiar with its 20 year master plan

We have one song on Saturday.

It's "eko oni baje o..........

As an addendum because I may not be chanced to follow this thread.This MC oluomo that you are all mentioning anyhow has a constituency that revers him

A lot of us never even put a face to the name till recently.He is the subject of legends and myths,in the 90's he was like the subject of whispers and speculation.

An MC that was the king of boys who had nothing to loose or look forward to...the hardened kind of boys that even your Scotland yard cannot imagine.

Somehow Those boys and their vices were brought to order ,and lagosians could ply and live in oshodi with no fear.

Today we now see pictures of MC everywhere some are also passing comments up and down because you came yesterday and thrived with no knowledge of the history of Lagos and the men tha contributed to the process.

I repeat this man is more than you all think he is.Someone needs to help with us with that history.

Like I mentioned some of us only heard whispers of what seemed like a legend.

When you get into an environment and you are able to put forth new ideas and they thrive. Someone kept the place conducive enough for that to happen

Over the years thuggery and street violence in Lagos has reduced drastically. if in doubt ask South Africa.In Lagos you mostly walk the streets of your home with no fear of gun violence or an unknown bursting your car. Save for isolated incidences.The fear for you life is very low. And you all party all night average 3ce a week. In some cities in Nigeria you can't hold your phone and be talking on the streets after 6pm the hood boys will do the needful

The ability to keep the streets in order has the police force and the men who call the boys to order playing a key role in the process

The sanity of the streets of oshodi (which you could not pass anyhow in the 80's and 90's without your bags or bodies sliced amongst other vices) and other places in Lagos is because some people kept those thugs at bay.Kept them in order through a System.They were supported by Government who produced the needed infrastructure and support through constructive community engagement

You all now mock those men who have a role that's more significant than yours in that order that you enjoy because you believe you are better than them.

Some one needs to write a book on the progress of Lagos.Because we have a new generation of pharoahs that appear not know what all the Joseph's had passed through,achieved and done for the ambience they enjoy now.

There is a reason oluomo was been proposed as the king of oshodi and the official head of Lagos states transport union. The man has earned his stripes.If in doubt ask South Africa violence rates how it came to be. Someone kept the streets at bay.

Non of them have any prior adminstrative skills with the Lagos civil service or any Nigerian Governance administrative structure

Bunch of clowns. Since it's Harvard and MIT they are promoting let them go and run for US senate

lomaxx:
The look on Sanwo Olu's face though. Man is thinking about Saturday so hard

Sanwoolu is very safe come Saturday

1.Saturday all Yoruba who refrained from voting will vote.

2.All Yoruba youths will vot sanwoolu

3.All yorubabChristians who voted for Obi will vote sanwoolu

It is best you all stop insulting sanwoolu and appreciate the LP victory in Lagos and all who supported the party.

Ibo votes alone did not make the LP victory

Let us give honour to whom honour is due.

May God Bless and keep the President Elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

May we experience God's mercy,help and Favour under your rule

May God bless Nigeria and her people

What these Tinubu Urchins will never tell you is that.

Labour party is a Yoruba party. Had always been a Yoruba party... Fact.
Afenifere, the biggest Yoruba socio-cultural group supports labour party.

Gbadebo Patrick Rhodes-Vivour the LP flagbearer for labour party is an indigenous Lagosian. More indigenous than Tinubu, Fashola and sanwo Olu so deserves to be governor of Lagos state.


That MKO Abiola won Anambra state during election and on the second term bid of Olusegun Obasanjo that the igbos voted for him against their son Ojukwu who was in the ballot. And Obasanjo won all south East states.

I have been waiting for this point.Labour party actually started as a Yoruba party.in recent history Mimiko and others used the LP to offset ruling parties and achieve unprecedented win

The point is how come Obi could not consolidate on those people structures and history for 25 percent in a historically strong LP state like ondo and others? In summary he did not try enough.

He is a candidate that cannot build bridges but builds walls. He could not even win over PDP, nor LP . He definitely cannot Lead a country of 36 states and over 250 tribes

We need a candidate that can build allegiances and negotiate alliances for majority states. For not winning 25% of 25 states,Obi is not that man

He may be the president you want but he is definitely not the one Nigeria needs.

He should go learn to build bridges and try again

Did LP expect 25% in Ekiti?

Ekiti people will not vote for Obi now. Same with ondo and osun.Ironically they are majority Christian states but not of the winners and eneche denomination

In addition they are not in support of the eastern culture and it's persons attitudes it just doesn't go well with theirs.

Who was Obi's ally for those states?

So did they really expect Obi to win 25 percent in Ekiti state?
