According to the Ògùn State Government/Governor, the new " Ògùn chieftaincy laws is to do away with archiac practices in the selection, installation and burial of Obas."

There will no longer be need for the ancient practices concerning the RITES of burials and ascension for a departed Oba and the incoming Oba respectively.

We will probably be crowning our Obas in churches now or turban them in Mosques according to the faith of the Oba.

This is where we are now.

Our gullible, docile, shallow-thinking, short-sighted and irresponsibly complacent Yoruba LEADERS AND CITIZENS are being set-up for the final phases of the complete emasculation and subjugation of a great race of ancient civilizations.

What the British tried to do, failed at, and eventually avoided for centuries is now about to come to reality.

Right under our noses, the remains of the Soun Ogbomoso and Olubadan of Ibadan were carried in public and tabled before MUSLIM CLERICS for ISLAMIC RITES of burial.

Unprecedented ABOMINATION.

But they will tell you that "we are now civilized".

Soon, at the rate they are going, our OBAS will be "ordained" and installed in the churches or TURBANED in the Mosques.

Our people are heavily influenced by CHRISTIAN AND MUSLIM CULTURES from Europe and Arabia.

In that Europe, they have FREEMASONS, LODGE and so many others. Occult, Cultism, Sorcery, Witch craft etc are English words

In Saudi Arabia, our people go to roam about a Ka'aba, a structure whose interior they will never see. Till this day, you have people called "Alfa" who do spiritual consultations for fellow Muslims using ancient wisdom they derive from their Qu'ran.

Till this day, the Jews still practice their Religion in the very ways Moses handed it over to them.

Four OVER 500 YEARS these people have been in unending battles and efforts to terminate the connections of the Yorubas to their anxiety Traditional practices.

They have been doing this because they know that the Yorubas hold so many ancient secrets of the earth and it will be difficult to defeat them without first distracting them from their NATURAL SPIRITUAL ESSENCE.

They suddenly blew up Pentecostalism in our faces in the middle 1980s, everywhere turned into churches and at about the same time the Wahhabism of Islam was mightily encouraged and before we knew it our daughters and sisters were wearing Hijab and our brothers and sons were growing beards and wearing trousers like things I don't want to describe.

Our People are heavily bombarded with RELIGION from both sides of Islam and Christain, very much harder than any other people in any other sections of the country!

Why is there such a propensity of Pentecostalism and Islam in Yoruba land all of a sudden?

How did we suddenly get caught in the web of Wahhabism? Havent our people been practicing this same Islam for centuries?

Haven't we practiced this same Christianity for several decades prior to the sudden elevation of American brands of Pentecostalism

How come we weren't suspicious that something was going on?

Now, OONIRISA is trailing his EVANGELIST wife to Chirstains Crusades up and down.

A man who calls himself OLUWO wears turban all over the place, he will tell you he is a Muslim.

Osile Oke-Ona Egba in Abeokuta will be seen dancing in Pansheke with his Three wives, he has a full fledge CHRISTIAN Missionary Movement that he leads.

An OBA was shot to death in Ondo. One Oba was killed on the Road in a Motor accident in Ijebu. In Lagos, a first class Oba was abducted right inside his place. Oba of lagos was practically chased out of his palace. We now have an Aare Onakakanfo who is seen in C&S and Celestial Churches rolling all over the flow.

In Lagos now, very systematically, the OBASHIP stool is now being taken over by NURTW members.

The Alaafin Oyo will pack his Seven wives, board aircraft, land in the UK and then go to the gates of Buckingham Palace and Pacadily square to take pictures!!!!

So many strange things now happen and we are still not observant and worried!!!

While the MUSLIM HAUSA-FULANIS are cementing their CULTURE, TRADITIONS AND RELIGION roundabout us on our own Ancestral, they are cunningly pushing our TRADITIONAL AND POLITICAL LEADERS to move us away from our ancient practices.

These ancient practices are the things that have kept them in morbid fear and awe of the Yorubas aside our Intellectual capacities.

It is the thing that put the fear of God and Allah in the Seriki Fulani of Igangan when Sunday Igboho confronted him.

That is what they are trying to destroy totally.

They don't even have much work to do in that respect because we ourselves are doing a fantastic job of it for them.

We are already a generation of Yorubas who hate ourselves, who destest our own language, who feel embarrassed being connected to our roots and ancestors, a lost People.

We should just thank our stars that there are still a few people who had the sense to keep transmiting these powers and wisdom through the centuries.

We still have people who have not become so foolish like many of us who are already irreedeably lost.

At the end, as our Elders say: The goat wandering all over the town will eventually realise that it is the light provided by the same ancient lamp that will lead him back into and through the house.

It is a matter of time.

Sirseedorf:
What is the benefit of agbero to the state, the people and tthe country? Why do we have many agbero unit instead of our security forces.
Our truck was coming from Ogun state, park on getting to iyana isashi The drive did not stop because none of the unfortunate agbero stoped him, lo and behold one cursed agbero came from no where and smash the side mirror with a pipe, the driver had to reverse back to ask he had to smash the side mirror broken when nobody ask him to stop, then about five of them started confronting the Old man and assaulting him physically with the pipe in the their hand. and saying they have juju to avert curses, while the assault was going on I was inside the truck, because if I had came down and support baba, his beating would have been child play mine. Eventually I came down to beg them, talk to the driver and we moved on in pain and anger, but nothing's to be done our side mirror was broken, the driver and old man was beating and I feel helple

Igbo elerin, isashi and igando are there base, and anybody benefiting from agbero cursed money shall know no peace..

You might not know the importance of these people you call AGBERO until - God forbid - there is an intended and a concerted effort by outsiders/enemies eg Fulani herdsmen to overrun Yoruba land.

You remember when Buhari govt asked every Nigerian with a gun to submit same to the police station, leaving everyone to the mercy of the mad Fulani herdsmen? Imagine there was a large scale invasion of Yoruba land by herdsmen at that time, who do you think will be the first respondence of defense? Who will come out to defend and protect you and yours?

These people are strategically allowed to float freely in SW states as a defense mechanism albeit in the underground world and unofficially. And they are purposely set up for such by BAT, although people fail to see this but that is one major reason they are allowed to float. Sure they constitute nuisance with their activities, I will advise you take it as a necessary evil which is resultant of the system in play in a country like Nigeria.

descarado:
Eatery you said. People are paid to clear the table.
In your home, I repeat, in your home, unless you have a paid hired hand, you have no reason not to take up the plates you used and wash.

See proud haughty spirit.
When you guys are supposed to act like men with balls against men from other countries that neo- colonised you, you transfer that to your equal all in the name of marriage.

I've been married for a long time and trust me, you wouldn't want to know who my husband is but from courtship till today, unless I'm doing dishes when he finished eating, he usually clean after himself. I don't dish food for him. He can wash every other person's plates and what have you if he is doing dishes. His manhood is still intact. His respect is intact. He is the man and father of the house. His children are learning how to behave as me that value and respects women. No wonder Nigerian women transfer bottled up aggression to poor maids or even kids cos our men feel too proud to be humane. We wonder why there is so much low self esteem among Nigerian men. Cos their fathers don't know what home training is.
They assume its by being aloof as showing their humane side will make their women ride over them. What inferiority complex!
Fact is that countries who do that are zillion times better than you guys. Its a fantasy that will never materialise for Nigeria to be like such countries Cos you lot decided not to accept reality. Reality that your wife is your equal and not property. In this 2023, a human being still waits for his wife to dish out food and clear table after eating Cos he has penis. And if their sons start beating up their girlfriends, they will ask why he is violent. Seeds planted by their father.

Massaging ego never build a home, community or country. Nigeria is a failed country, thanks to our men who can't wash common plates they ate from in their home.

Oh now I can see where you are coming from… you are too eager to make a feminist point you looked past the fact that we are on the same side. Maybe you should go back, read my posts to get a better understanding of my point. Besides I thought you were a dude.

FahBuLous:
Unless you want to build a shabby looking charlet, 60m is not enough.

Not the way Nigeria is now.

In your opinion, how much do you think will be enough?

descarado:
So u don't wash the plates you ate with?

I mean, you finish eating and your wife will carry the plates to wash?

Are you being sarcastic? My wife usually clear the table when I’m done eating and I don’t have to do more than taking my plate to the kitchen if I have to as I don’t have kids yet. C’mon these are no big deal.

Okay check this out… in most eatery in UK people usually clear their table after themselves when done eating. Not like you are mandated or expected to do it most do it out of curtsy. You can confirm from anybody you know living in Uk.

Now to mess with your brain I actually do the dishes sometimes but wifey do it most times.

muyico:
A plot of land worth more than at lagos

Yea sure. Sometimes land are far more expensive than the building especially if the building is for residential purpose. I’m sure you know this.

ishadfurnitures:
Check your email sir

Thanks check your email

jimmychang:
I am just saying...I want learn from you.If the habit is sustainable because you might later turn to your duty instead of hers.Once once looseguard and see her reaction.

lol I get you. We have had issues on this a couple of times and sure enough there are times she just have to go market like when I don’t have access to the car and she usually don’t complain. My only problem is she spent more buying stuffs than I do cos she’s not good at haggling prices and that pisses me off.

ishadfurnitures:
Oh okay will send you an email:

Good. Will be expecting to hear from you

habsydiamond:
Since u will be harbouring humans like you, you must use quality materials so as not to come back with story that touch. The 60M should complete the building of ur 20rooms hotel alone with quality materials but I'd with substandard materials it can build both and u will still have change but the futuristic projection is low. If u know u know

Actually I’m willing to work around my budget. If 60m won’t be enough for 20 rooms and event hall I can do away with the hall and cut short on the numbers of rooms if need be but i need to be sure of what I’m doing first.

ishadfurnitures:
Chat me on this 08099212590 will give you full comprehensive details of what you need with your budget you can achieve the hotels and Conference center we have similar jobs done and past experience as a Civil engineer I can even provide a sketch Architectural drawing so you can first see what you want to build before Full scal drawing and bill of quantity.

Thanks unfortunately I am not with an internet enabled phone at the moment. I lost my phone. If you can pls reach me on my email addy: emini_akin@yahoo.com we can start from there.

jimmychang:
How long are you married?

Does it actually matter? I really don’t see anything unusual in all of these really. One thing I hate and won’t do when she’s around is sweeping and dishes. Not like I can’t do it I just hate it. Those I like doing I do without being forced.

Ezemarcel:
Can you pay me for services if I do estimate for you

Are you an engineer? Have you done similar project before?

Ezemarcel:
bro hotels are built with high quality materials considering the live load

60m..can't even furnished the house depending on your taste

I see people saying 60m isn’t enough. I am pretty sure 50m or a little less will adequately stand the building to roofing level according to my findings.

money121:
Yes
But i will still call her in the market to confirmed the price

Actually I know how to haggle prices well more than my wife. She usually feel uncomfortable around me doing the price bargain.

No ish in this. I’m the one mostly doing the buying of foodstuffs cos my wife can’t drive. I do the cooking too a lot of the times cos I love cooking while my wife sits watching tv sometimes

I don’t think there’s an issue with this at all.

Ezemarcel:
Not enough oo


Budget 230m

What in the world!!! lol that’s over killing it bro. Can you pls give detailed explanation on how you came about this price?

I am looking at investing in hospitality business but I’m not sure if 60Million naira will be adequate to erect a 20 room hotel and event hall with a capacity of about 500 people max.

Cause of the paucity of funds, I’m looking to make it a single story building such that hotel will be on the ground floor while the top floor will hold the event hall.

Engineers in the house do you think this amount will be enough to achieve this? Pls let’s have your expert opinion on this. Thanks in advance.

AldrichAmes:
These twins and their brother are the biggest bigots in the Nigerian entertainment industry. The fact that they’re brazen with it and no one has ever called them out, is the reason why the untalented duo stay being the gift that keeps on giving.

I remember they used to call every award they lose out on, as “Yoruba awards” and cry about being denied the award because they’re Igbo. Their elder brother also once said: “I’m a Biafran. I have lived in Lagos and me, Yoruba and Hausa people have nothing in common”.

The whole Peter Obi charade is an IPOB and Igbo supremacist campaign to hijack power again like these people did in 1966. And they have international backing this time and are using the rogue ENDSARS foot soldiers led by that dirty/smelly looking scumbag, Aisha Yesufu, and the compromised hack journalist, David Hundeyin (these two posers are funded by western NGOs). Obi was a total failure as a governor. He was a failure as a member of GEJ’s government. But whimsically in 2022, they’re projecting the low IQ market trader as the saviour. If you can’t see the transparent charade - I can’t help you. If Obi wins, prepare yourselves for another civil war.

I’m not even a fan of Tinubu (I would’ve preferred Osinbajo) or Nigeria as a country. However, since this is where the country is at right now - if you’re Yoruba and you willingly go out there to vote for these IPOB Biafran miscreants - you deserve to be bundled up and sold into slavery. You have to be very daft not to see the handwriting on the wall.

Spot on. You nailed it quite succinctly. These indomie generation as they call them don’t read. They don’t know the political history of Nigeria else no Yoruba person will think to vote Obi over BAT.

Everybody get file. Cos dem never open your file no mean say you innocent.

lawyer:
1. Never buy a land or house based on an image, flyer, or video sent to you. Try to visit the property PHYSICALLY so that you can decide whether you like it or not. The majority of images you see online at the end of the day, it's always a case of what I ordered vs. what I received.

Send a member of your family, a friend, a work colleague, a lawyer, or a surveyor to look at it on your behalf if you are unable to see it yourself. If you cannot find anyone to view it for you, forget the property. You might be saving yourself a future headache by doing that.


2. After viewing the property, the next thing you must ask for are copies of the title documents for the land or house so that you can investigate them.

A title document here refers to the proof or evidence of ownership of the land or house they intend to sell to you. That land or house did not fall from the sky. It was acquired from either another person, group of people, community, or government.

The title documents the land seller must possess may come in the form of A deed of assignment, survey plan, purchase receipt, excision survey, letter of allocation, contract of sale, will, letter of administration, C of O, Governor’s Consent, Memorandum of Understanding, layout, deed of rectification, court judgment, etc. This list is not all-inclusive.


3. Anyone that intends to sell a parcel of land or house either as a personal seller, omonile or real estate company MUST hand over photocopies of the necessary title documents of the land to you to investigate.

Any seller that declines to provide you with copies of that document so you can verify them is a potential land or property con artist. Any illogical reason they give you for not revealing information to you to aid your investigation is a warning sign and red flag; you MUST walk away.

4. As soon as they hand you copies of the title documents, give them right away to a property lawyer so they may review them. Many seasoned property lawyers, like myself, have examined thousands of land documents over the years and can advise you whether to move forward with the verification just by looking at it or to terminate the transaction right away.

For example, my 17 years of experience as a specialist property verification lawyer has made me know how to identify fake C of Os-(Certificate of Occupancy) fake Governor’s Consent, or forged Deeds of Assignment right away.

I have seen too many wayo, too many fraudulent, and too many questionable documents to make me know if the seller is trying to defraud you or waste my time. If I am not too sure if it was a fraudulent document, that’s when I would recommend further verification on the property.
.
5. A property verification must include one or more of the following

i. Investigating the land physically

ii. Verifying the title documents at the land registry

iii. Conducting a site search at the surveyor general’s office

iv. Visiting the Courts as appropriate to determine whether the property or seller is involved in any pending legal proceedings

v. Visiting the community to determine if there is an outstanding dispute or court issue

vi. Visiting the probate division to verify a will or letter of administration

vii. Check the Cabinet office to ensure the Gazette and Excision are authentic

viii. Visiting the surveyor general’s office to verify the authenticity of the coordinates and location on the survey plan

ix. Knowing the complete profile of the seller to know if you are dealing with the appropriate person that has the capacity to sell or not

x. Investigating the previous owners of the property to know if the land was properly transferred to the seller.

6. Once these steps are vigorously taken by the property lawyer, a search report must be given to the potential buyer detailing the search process, what was investigated, where it was investigated and the final report of the investigation.

7. The property lawyer MUST now advice the potential buyer whether to buy the property or not. The person conducting the search must also be an INDEPENDENT LAWYER that has no affiliation or ties with the Seller.

8. It would be a terrible idea to use the same Lawyer as the seller because there would be a conflict of interest. If something bad happens to the land, who would the lawyer represent or protect? The Seller or You?

9. Endeavor to always obtain a search receipt from the lawyer after the search fees have been paid. This would guarantee that the Lawyer has an obligation to perform professionally or risk his NBA practicing license.

10. Avoid asking a friend lawyer, co-worker lawyer, or family lawyer to conduct the land verification search on your behalf because, 95% of the time, the results are either always vague, time-consuming, or done sloppily. Most importantly, if something goes wrong, who is to blame?

One more word of caution:

Money is hard to come by these days due to the challenging economy. Owning your own land or home is a need in life, and working hard and being determined to save money to do so is a testament to those qualities.

Avoid ruining everything by making a rash property purchase without first ascertaining the ownership or status of the land or house.

In exchange for a piece of land or a home, you would be writing a stranger the largest check of your life. Don’t hand over your life money to a dishonest real estate company or property seller con artist who convinced you to purchase a doubtful property with fake or forged title documents. Losing your land, home, and money would be too painful, stressful, and horrifying to handle.

Your friends and family would blame you. Your colleagues will pity you in your front and laugh at you at your back. The Jealous ones would be ecstatic that you were suffering, just like they were, and they would thank their village people for making you suffer. When outsiders hear your story, they will use you as an example to verify their next piece of property or home so they won't do something similar.

Police and lawyers would chop you finish when they finally know you have entered their trap and once they've emptied your wallet, you won't even get your money back in full.

The worst part is that the dubious seller would use your hard-earned money to flex, travel around the world, gamble recklessly with your money on nairabet, lavishly spend on girlfriends, marry a new wife, pay for his own children’s school fees, use your money to pay his rent or complete his own house, buy a new car, pay an outstanding loan or debt he is owing, invest your own money in his business or even pop numerous bottles of champagne at clubs or parties.

He would even use your money to post bail at the police station and settle the same police with your own money when you finally get hold of him.

If you act responsibly, use caution, and thoroughly investigate the property you are interested in, you can prevent all this suffering.

Self-help is not recommended since, nine times out of ten, you will overlook something vital and your case file will land up on my desk or at Panti Police Station. If you and your property lawyer follow these rules, I guarantee you buying a property free from wahala, fraud and wayo.

Leaving a footprint for reference purpose.

duro4chang:
There are many Yorùbá names whose meanings are now lost due to the fact that the words forming their roots are no longer in use.
For instance, ask the young Master Ọlọ́pàádé the meaning of his name and he will probably tell you that his name means “the policeman has come“. Ask Mr. Ọlọ́paádé, his father, and he would probably tell you it means “the owner of the staff has come“. The two of them would be wrong as Ọlọ́pàádé actually means “the Ọpa (re|re) devotee has come“. The same goes for all other Ọpa names like Opadotun. Those names show that the ancestors of the bearers of the names were worshippers or devotees of the Ọpa Cult otherwise called Awo Ọpa, one of the religious cults or secret societies proscribed by the British in colonial days.

Or imagine another scenario: Pastor Ọbáfẹ́mi (re|mi|mi|re), the pastor of a Pentecostal church, is asking Deacon Ògúnyẹmí to change his name because he believes that the name of the deacon is associated with Ògún, an idol (so-called), without realizing that his own name is also idolatrous in its origin.

Even Professor Wọlé Ṣóyínká in his book “The Man Died” gave the meaning of his surname Ṣóyínká to be “surrounded by wizards“. This is far from being the case. Names like Soyinka, Sonuga etc. do not derive from “Oṣó“(wizard) but rather they derive from Òrìṣà-Oko, the Yorùbá deity of agriculture.
The name Ṣóyínká in full is Òrìṣàokoyínká which became shortened by a gradual declension to Ṣóókóyínká, Ṣóyímiká and finally to Ṣóyínká. It is the same for all the other “Ṣóó…” names.
If a whole Professor Ṣóyínká, a master of literature and language can be thus mistaken on the derivation and meaning of his own name, what about we lesser mortals. It is in order to put these various misconceptions right that I am publishing this little work via this medium.

This list is by no means exhaustive and others inputs are welcome so it can be in writing for generations yet unborn so that the knowledge of the meaning of our names will not die out.
Also, if you want to know the meaning of your Yorùbá name, you are welcome to ask.
Àgbà ò ní tán lórílẹ̀ (the elders’ wise counsel will never be scarce in our midst).

The “Okù” (re|do) names like Okusanya, Okusaga etc are not derived from “Òkú” (dò|mí), a dead person. They are derived from “Okù“, the Ijebu deity of wealth which corresponds to “Ajé“, the Ọ̀yọ́ Yorùbá deity of wealth. Thus, Okùsànyà means the deity of wealth has rewarded me for my sufferings and not dead person has rewarded me for my sufferings.

Ọrẹ̀ (re|do)names like Oresanya. They do not derive from Ọ̀rẹ́, (dò|mí), friend, but from Ọrẹ̀, (re|do), a deity. A phrase like “A kìí ọmọ Ọrẹ̀ bọ Ọrẹ̀” (you don’t use the child of Ọrẹ̀ to propitiate Ọrẹ̀) comes to mind.

Igbin names like Onigbinde etc do not derive from ìgbín (do|mi), snail, but rather from Igbin, (re|re), a drum beaten for the Òrìṣàálá or Ọbàtálá worship. The ancestors of people bearing these names were drummers for Òrìṣàálá worshippers.

Ọ̀pẹ̀ (do|do) names like Opetola do not derive from Ọ̀pẹ, (do|re), palm tree, but rather from Ọ̀pẹ̀, (do|do), an Ifá appellation.

Ọnà (re|do) Onasanya; these names are not derived from ọ̀nà (road) but they derive from Ọnà (craft). The name bearers of these names would be people who were craftsmen like sculptors etc in their origin.

Alalade (re|mi|do|do|mi) does not derive from àlá (do|mi), dream, but derives from Àlà (do|do), white, symbol of purity – the insignia of the Òrìṣàálá or Ọbàtálá deity and it means the owner of àlá has come, the Òrìṣàálá devotee has come and not the dreamer has come as many have supposed it means.

Elégbèdé does not derive from egbé (re|mí) – the supposed magical means of teleporting – and is not supposed to be pronounced as Elégbédé (re|mi|mi|mi) as Sunny Ade sang it in one of the records, on the Erelú of Lagos. The name is derived from ègbè (do|do) meaning support. Thus, the name is more properly pronounced as Elégbèédé (re|mi|do|mi|mi) – the defender, the one who will fight or support my cause has come.

Onipede (re|mi|do|mi|mi) does not derive from ìpẹ́ (do|mi) fish scales, but derives from ìpẹ̀ (do|do) – consolation. So, it should not be pronounced as Onípẹ̀dẹ́ (re|mi|do|mi) the owner of scales has come but rather as Onípẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́ (re|mi|do|mi|mi) – the consoler has come.

Baba (re|re) and Ọba (re|re) name such Babasanmi, Babafemi Obasanjo do not derive from father or king. They both derive their roots from Ṣọ̀npọ̀nná, the deity of small-pox, which used to be referred to in reverent tone in olden days as Baba so that he would not kill them. If you will recall, in olden times, the marks left on the faces of anyone who recovered from small-pox attack used to be referred to as Ila-Baba, that is father’s marks.
In Chief Olúṣẹ́gun Ọbásanjọ́’s book, My Watch, he gave us an insight into the origin of the names starting with Ọba. Such names are related to Ọbalúaiyé (also calledṢọ̀npọ̀nná), the deity of smallpox. So the Ọba in Ọbasanjọ́, and Ọbafẹ́mi, is derived from Ọbalúaiyé and not from king.
So, Pastor Ọbafẹ́mi, in the hypothetical case mentioned above would do well to remove the log in his own eyes first by changing his own name first before insisting that Deacon Ògúnyẹmí should change his name.

Oloko (re|mi|do) does not derive from the word ọkọ̀ (re|do) – lorry or canoe and it does not mean the owner of a lorry or the owner of canoe, but it derives from the word ọ̀kọ̀ (do|do) – spear, and it means the owner, master or lord of the spear. It is a war title which has become a name. It is the title borne by the group of warriors whose chosen weapons of warfare is the spare.

Adekogbe (re|mi|do|mi) does not mean the crown rejects excreta as the word ìgbẹ́ (do|mi) in the name does not mean excreta; rather it means a bush or a light forest. The name means the crown rejects the bush, that is to say a prince shouldn’t be involved in manual labour or farming activities. Adékọ̀gbẹ́ is a name much favoured by the Ìjẹ̀bú, as they are of all Yorùbá tribes a tribe that is more averse to farm work or manual labour than any of the other Yorùbá tribes. They prefer to trade instead.

Adé (re|mi) names like Adeboye Adebayo, Adebola are not derived from Adé (crown) but rather they are derived from the verb dé which means to come. Adébóyè means he who came at a time when chieftaincy has just entered into the family. Adébáyọ̀ means he who comes to meet when a thing of joy has just come into the family and Adébọ́lá means he who comes to meet when wealth has just come into the family.

Apart from the misconstrued names, there are other names whose meanings are now recondite as many people no longer know what the names mean.
Sadare, Sadela etc, these names derive from the Òrìṣàálá otherwise called Ọbàtálá deity. Ṣàdáre is an hyphenated form of Òrìṣàdáre. The word Orisha whenever used alone invariably refers to Ọbàtálá otherwise called Òrìṣànlá. So, those names are names of people named after the Òrìṣàálá deity. Ṣàdáre then would mean Ọbàtálá has vindicated (me). Ṣàdẹ̀kó would mean that an Ọbàtálá worshipper has arrived at Èkó (Lagos). Ṣàdẹ̀là would mean Ọbàtálá has arrived into wealth.
Akeredolu (re|mi|mi|re|mi) means he who reduces himself in order to become a king. He who humbles himself to become a king like the title of that play “She Stoops To Conquer” by Oliver Goldsmith.
Adewuyiì (re|mi|re|do) means the crown grows honour, that is, the crown produces honour.
Olofa (re|mi|do) means the owner of arrows or the master or lord of arrows. It is another war title that has become a name and it is the title given to those whose weapons of war in battle is the bow and arrow, that is archers.

Alokolaro (re|mi|re|mi|do|mi) means he who has a large farm and also has a cooperative society to assist him to do the farm work. Aarọ́ is a cooperative system among the Yorùbá whereby the members agree to work jointly in the farm of each member of the group in turn until they have finished the farm-work of all the members.

Olowe (re|mi|do) means he who has an ọ̀wẹ̀ (do|do) cooperative group. Ọ̀wẹ̀ is another type of cooperative society whereby the members assist each other to work in the farm of each other. Olowe is thus somebody who has a large number of people at his beck and call whom he can call upon to assist him any time in his farm or other work

Apara (re|re|re) is short for Apara-ogun-bí–ẹní-palé (re|re|re|re|re|mi|re|mi|re|mi) implies he who sets war at naught. It means literally somebody who gets ready for war as easily as other people get ready for home affairs.

This is very rich and insightful. Religion and westernization has perpetrated a self delusion in us so much so that we are a willing tool to self destruct by denying our identity, culture, belief system etc in replace of embracing a strange culture, religion in the name of WOKE. By so doing we don’t realize we have broken faith, spat on the graves our forefathers.

Except we retract our steps we will continue in a WILD GOOSE CHASE.

Lolol

That her 2 year old daughter was raped and she did not report to her husband and the police is a crime under any jurisdiction in the world. The act of covering up a crime means she is an accessory after the crime.

Well you are right but detaining someone for days without court order is violation of the persons right. To avoid this he should take the wife to court instead else if the wife takes it up with him he won’t be having a good day about it trust me

How on earth did you even get to arrest your wife? I smell humiliation and human right abuse in collusion with the police. We know Nigerian police you must have parted with money to get this done. How I’ll you keep someone in detention for a week or more without court order? If I were your wife I bet you that will be the last of such you will do.

Get your wife out of detention, plead with her, go to where the incident happened and get the rightful culprit arrested and not your wife.

Dbanj, according to Premium Times, was arrested on Tuesday after ICPC operatives closed in on him, forcing him to surrender himself at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja.

The agency accused the pop star of fraudulently diverting hundreds of millions of naira earmarked by the Nigerian government for N-Power project, an empowerment program set up by the Nigerian government in 2016 to address youth unemployment and increase social development.

It was gathered that D’banj allegedly connived with some government officials to introduce ghost beneficiaries into the payroll of the scheme.

The stipend paid to those beneficiaries are then paid to accounts that have now allegedly been linked to the pop star.

Despite the multiple invitations, the musician failed to show up for interrogation which led the ICPC to move for his arrest, forcing him to show up at the commission’s office on Tuesday.

On arrival, D’banj was subjected to a prolonged interrogation session after which he was detained.

He was also denied administrative bail, as the agency feels the musician could not be trusted to attend his trial if released on bail.

Sources said the ICPC might approach the court on Wednesday for an extended remand order to enable the agency complete its investigation before charging the musician to court.

The spokesperson for the ICPC, Azuka Ogugua, could not be reached to comment for this story. She is said to be attending a programme abroad. Being in detention, the musician too could not be reached for comment
