⚡Switzerland has frozen Russian assets worth 7.7 billion Swiss francs ($8.8 billion).

It's time wise countries stop keeping money outside their jurisprudence.

I hope majority of Nigerians aren't stupid enough to believe such a lie?

Who dashed us $360b annually to gamble?

Even America isn't doing up to half of that annually.

China did $45b annually
The US did $40 billion annually

Yet the report claims Nigeria is doing almost $1 billion daily.

Make una dey lie small small.

Nigeria is not even in the top 10 gambling countries in the world.

Who are the Jabou?

Did you Oduduwa the man that fell from the sky found the yoruba race?

modernWays:
I said ESPECIALLY among them. There are many Caucasians bearing south American, Australia and India names.

No one will do that for Africa, until your continent re-write her history and be among meaningful countries in the world. People borrow names, not because of their meanings or origins but because of the value attached to it. Besides, it is human nature to associate with success or the best, you don't expect people to chose/borrow names from poverty striken societies over a well recognised societies in the world.

Have you seen any bearing your African names?

How successful are people in South America, India and the likes you mentioned?

Those bearing the names above have links to these continents (mixed parenthood)

Seen any without DNA affiliation bearing these names except for Nigerians worshipping foreign names?

Rewriting your whatever history starts from embracing your identity.

Who are you if you are asked?

Are you what the colonizers tagged you or you're what your forefathers called you?

Obama didn't have to change his name to fit into whatever foreign narrative some of you are painting.

Same with Wole Soyinka
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
Nnamdi Azikiwe

And a host of others.

You do not have value, hence the need to look for oyinbo name just to feel valued and useful.

oglalasioux:
True. During the elections there's a place I hang out owned by a Yoruba woman. Most of her customers are Yoruba and I thanked God they know me by my English name. No sane Igbo man with native name dare enter that joint. Even if you show evidence that you are APC, you'll still be branded obedient/ipob.

They knew, they didn't just care.

Most Yorubas don't bear foreign names, so seeing someone bearing such around them automatically makes them curious. They must have researched you and knew your origin.

Forget anything else, they knew.

modernWays:
You are so right, having a neutral name give you an edge anywhere in the world.

Besides, Nigerians like making big things out of nothing. Europeans and Americans too bears names from other continents, and no one feel inferior about it.

African names?

modernWays:
They do, especially from other cultures among them. Use Google to find out.

You said other cultures among them.

So is this same with what we do here?

You guys won't even answer another tribe's name within your country.

So how's this same with the question I asked?

Seen a briton answering Segun before or a french being called Mulema?

warrifinest1985:
What do you mean? Those names are beautiful names! Come warri here make you come see funny names. Them dey call one guy otegele, them still dey call one igbunu for my area here too. But these are beautiful names in their local dialet but very funny when you hear this names! lol, lol

But bush, Clifford, sand, Tiffany, johnbull aren't funny names even though they mean next to nothing?

modernWays:

How come the Caucasians don't do neutral names?

ShoeGetSize:
What about those who answer MOOhamad, Suleiman, Mustapha etc? Are they also slaves of colonial masters?

Yes they are.

They're Arab wannabees.

For the religiously naive people out there saying they changed their names after becoming Christians and going for baptism.

Did these people know that Saul's name that was changed to Paul after salvation didn't mean both names aren't Hebrew names.

Saul and Paul remain Hebrew names.

So because you're a Christian doesn't mean you must bear Hebrew names.

Christianity is not even synonymous with Hebrew as a language.

⚡Israeli soldiers occupying a Palestinian house in Beit Hanoun,Gaza (Photo posted by Israeli soldier 22 hours ago)

Shameless occupiers.

They don't hide what they have been doing for years.

They have the attitude of European colonizers.

They're actually Europeans.

forgiveness:
I should be asking you.

Who are the Jabou? Benin? You're a clown.

Lagos is directly under the Jabou not Benin, and they weren't called Benins. See the map again with clear eyes from ogogoro.

You're a troll.

As you have claimed to be blind, may real blindness fall on you.

Iseee

forgiveness:
Jabou is Jabu or Ijebu. Which Perriera? After a Yoruba prince from Benin came to Lagos founded by Aworis?

You are claiming ignorance unto the same map you posted.

You're blind to see the Benin besides Priorima or perreima on the edge of the ocean?

You're using Wikipedia and 5 years old newspapers publication to discredit more than 100 years old map.

Are you normal?

forgiveness:
See Jabou. Ijebu Kingdom above Lagos. You blind?

Lol ijebu is now Jabou?

Just as you claimed awerri which is more of Warri as Awori?

Lol you be land grabber?

See Benin besides Perriera. That's where present day Lagos is.

forgiveness:
Bloody liar. Show me where Benin was boldly written on the island.

Mr man, it was named Lagos Curamo by the same Portuguese in 1472 when they first came and at that time they said they met the Aworis not Benin, liar.

Your Benin Oba is a Yoruba man from Ile Ife. The reason Ogiamien wan to create thier own king in the same Benin. Hahahahahahaha!

Yoruba name you Bini. Na lie?

You dey see so?
Check your map na.

By the way, how come none of the maps posted so far showed any Yoruba kingdom worth its salt?

Isn't that enough prove that you guys were nothing during these eras?

See how wide and large the kingdom of Benin is on all the maps?

Even lands now known as Yoruba lands had the kingdom of Benin written all over them.

Learn and be humble!

forgiveness:
Agreed but the eko island was not occupied by Benin in thus map. That's the point.

Go and tell the Portuguese who did business with the Benin kingdom via the kingdom including eko fronts.

Even from the map, you can see Benin clearly written where Eko is now situated. (There was nothing like Eko island then until the Benins named it Eko)

Go and also argue with your lagos kings that traced their lineage to the Benin kingdom.

Who named you Yoruba?
You guys had no identity before a foreigner named you.

forgiveness:
No Ogiso fell from the sky. Else what is the meaning of Ogiso?

Who named you Ilu Ibinu? You want to lie.

Yoruba had many kingdoms unlike Benin with just one kingdom. Hence, had many names. It doesn't change the fact Oduduwa was never from Benin. Your king lied.

That someone is calling you nbati nbati doesn't mean that's your official name.

You guys are known to degrade those higher than you including corrupting their names.

Benin was what your uncivilised forefathers called Ile Ibinu because we often dealt with your people until the oyo empire came for a treaty.

Oyo empire was killing and selling other Yoruba people into slavery and even got them taxed.

Apart from oyo empire, the rest were mushrooms villages good enough for the slave trade.

Most of you are in Brazil, cuba, haiti etc because you guys were so weak that everyone sold you out.

forgiveness:
You map is fake.

See another map showing Ijebu Kingdom and Awori spelt Aweri in the same 1745. Thief.

Now, this map will clear your brain from your unsubstantiated ignorance.

So you mean Awori was side by side with Kingdom of Calabar and not Warri?

You dey think so?

You can see how vast the Kingdom of Benin was on that map.

forgiveness:
Oduduwa was real. Nothing like fairy tales.

He became a diety after his death due to their believe.

Nothing like prince in Edo land. You only had Ogiso and you were called Igodomigodo not Benin which is corruption of Ule Ibinu in Yoruba.

So your Oduduwa fell from the sky?

Even the first human was created, why should yours fall from the sky without dying, yet died later like all mortals?

Think!

The Benins had different names at different times, we named ourselves all the names we answered. Tell me who named you Yoruba and what was your name before someone else named you yoruba?

ednut1:
This is what happens when politicians influence who will be king instead of oracles. Oba of Benin did his own this week. Now this. What a shame 🤣

Wetin concern politicians or politics with the Oba of Benin?

It's inherited, not political selection like in the SW.

Stoplying:
It would be flooded by these yarri.ba trolls.
Anyways, what I want to say is that we can not descend to the level of yarri.ba by discussing fairytales.
They do this because they have no history !
We do have history and can just bring up precolonial documents !

This is why I said it's not necessary, let them argue with history.

Do you know that even the word "Yoruba" was given to them by someone else?

They were never 1 till the 1900s.

Bimpe29:
Whose statements are we going to believe now?

But, the account of Oba Bamgbade was armed with facts.

Go online and read old records/history as old as 50-800 years.

Do not let the noise sway you.

In the south west, they have up 1 million obas... Who takes such people serious?

Stoplying:
Talk to me in private message.

I don't have access to it.

You can drop your email or digits instead.

VEHINTOLAR:
Ask the idiot like you who just said that your "missing Prince Izoduwa" was fairytale;that is, he never existed !

Oduduwa that fell from the sky never existed.

Izoduwa existed and was a banished prince from the Benin kingdom.

You have no brains

You still couldn't comprehend what was written?

Even if it's forcefully fed into your brain, it's still going to slip off.

VEHINTOLAR:
Lol ! So Oduduwa is now "a fairytale character" ,he is no longer the missing Prince "Izoduwa" or "Ekhaladeran" or whatever idiotic name you guys called him,right ?! Trust me,some of you guys are begining to exhibit strange symptoms which may not have medical explanation(s) !

Benin Kingdom my foot ! You guys are actually lizards,trust me,but quite unfortunately,you're seeing yourselves as one kind big crocodiles !

Pls,go and sleep,Bini man from a little hole ! You guys should just advise your stupid,skirt wearing ogiso masquerade to watch his mouth when next he visits Lagos or any other parts of Yoruba land because we won't be this civil or nice next time !

To the Yoruba, he's a fairly tale because they claimed he fell from the sky with chains and whatever.

To he Benins, he was a banished prince, hence the chains he was found in.

So tell me, did your ancestor fall from the sky?

Stoplying:
I call upon all the people of the vast empire of Benin. The emperor is under attack, therefore we all are under attack!

OBA GHATO KPERE !
ISSE !

This is not necessary.

We know the south West to be noise makers.

They claim the Benin empire was small, yet no African country ever conquered them in a war, oyo empire had to come for a treaty (Never to fight eachother) while they went about fighting other people and kingdom.

You do not need to join the noise makers.

Oba of Benin came to their government house to remind them. If that's not boldness, then what is it?

We don't asslick either.

It was also a foreigner that named you guys Yoruba.

All of you were scattered fighting eachother day and night.

Egbas waging war against the Aworis
Ijebus against the Oyos
Ife against modakeke etc

You guys were never one, the strongest of you enslaved the rest and sold them off as slaves to whoever could pay including foreigners.


You were never one, hence the thousands of obas littering the south west.


It was the Baatonus that named you lot Yoruba in the 15 00s due to the similarities in your dialect.

As for Eko, the aworis only used parts of Lagos for fishing and farming and often travel back to where they actually reside.

It was the Benins that decided to give the island area of Eko a better organization and made it administrable.

They sent chiefs and kings to run Eko all the way from the Benin kingdom.

These things are all online. I wonder why people just argue.

For you to know that Edo people don't make mouth, the Oba came to Eko to remind the people of Eko about the history of Eko.

You can argue and insult till tomorrow, what he said won't change and history is here to back him.

You claimed Eko was existing before anyone else came, yet the Benins named the island part Eko, administered it and gave it leadership.

The Portuguese named the whole state Lagos.

So what exactly were the so called settlers doing then?

Make una dey think!
