Akure, ... (The Olotas) and (The Okitis) of Iju Kingdom..... Saying how We her children praise her. Iya mi abeni ade, Omo ola to njeyin awo. Omo Owa, Omo Ekun OMO EKUN “Omo owa, omo ekun, omo iku pani ho dare hun”. These are few among your oriki as an Akure. Have you imagine as an Akure why you are been refer to as ‘omo ekun’.This is what ‘ll be discuss in this post. Oral tradition states that Akure was founded by a Prince named Omoremi Omoluabi, son of Ekun (this was his regnal name). and grandson of Oduduwa Omoluabi, the royal progenitor of the Yoruba tribe. The Prince left Ile-Ife, his grandfather’s kingdom, in search of a place to settle after passing a strict test administered by Oduduwa himself. This test wherein he was kept in solitude for about nine (9) days is still annually commemorated in Akure today by the reigning king of the town during a ceremony known as ‘ilesunta’ when they will use the term ‘oba wo ilesunta’ At the point where the prince and his party arrived at the exact location of the modern city, the string holding the heavy royal beads on his neck is said to have snapped, thus causing the people to exclaim “Àkún mi rę” (or The beads have snapped), this later becoming the name of the settlement they established on the site. Over time, the phrase was wittled down through its constant use to become Akure. Omoremi is said to have hunted with his entourage while on his way from Ile Ife. He arrived in Akure and was proclaimed the Person who hunted and arrived with royalty, i.e., Asodeboyede, (the statue in front of old Palace is that of the Asodeboyede). Originally, the kings of Akure that were born of Omoremi, the Asodeboyede were referred to as Ajapada. The titleDeji of Akure started with Oba Arakale, whose father took the daughter of Oba Atakumosa, the Owa of Ijeshaland as one of his wives while the latter was on his way to Benin. By the time Oba Atakumosa was returning to Ilesha from the pilgrimage, his daughter Owawejokunhad given birth to a son. While other dignitaries gave the little baby common gifts, Oba Atakumosa was said to have presented his grandson with a small diadem. Owafadeji i.e., Owa gave him a diadem or royal crown became the nickname of the young boy, and by the time he reached his adulthood it had become his de facto name. When Owafa’Deji became Oba, the appellation assumed a titular importance and because of his prominence as an Oba, subsequent Obas or kings assumed the title while the advent of the modern era has formally made Deji the official title of the Obas of Akure. However, the original title of Ajapada has remained a significant part of the Deji’s ceremonial style till the present day. Omo Owa (the son of Owawejokun), Omo Ekun (son of Ekun the grandson of Oduduwa) is this reason why every descendant of the Akure has been addressed as Omo Ekun during the recitation of his or her praise poetry or, alternatively, as ‘Omo Akure Oloyemekun’, since Omoremi was said to have stayed for a while at Igbo Ooye before coming to the Akure region.

Saturday, 17 December 2016 Good News about MMM Surfaces Amidst Crash Rumours… See Fresh Details (Image) There is the strong possibility that the popular Ponzi Scheme from Russia – MMM has not crashed and could be back in operation at the stipulated date of 13th of January, 2017. Following the freezing of active Mavrodi accounts by the leadership of the suspicious Mavrodi Mundial Moneybox cash-doubling scheme on the 13th of December, 2016, Nigerians caught unawares have been thrown into a state of panic and limbo. The media has been awash with reports that the scheme has crashed and the account restriction communique issued by the administrator was a subtle way of announcing the end of the scheme in the country. Reports have it that MMM has since moved to Kenya with an attractive offer of 40% return on investments advertised to Kenyans to lure the vulnerable masses. A research revealed that when a similar account restriction was issued in South Africa on the 3rd of May, 2016, the scheme later returned amidst fears and became operational again. Below is a circular issued by the administator to the participating South Africans: “Mavro Freezing is Cancelled Dear participants! We are glad to inform you that from now on, all the types of Mavrodi freezing are COMPLETELY CANCELLED – both the freezing of bonus Mavro (except Registration Bonus and Bonus for Testimonial Video) and the freezing of the contribution itself! Your bonuses and contributions are available for withdrawal instantly upon confirmation. Things are going so well in the system that there is no need in Mavro freezing anymore. Yours sincerely. Administration Together we change the world”. Meanwhile, a South African source revealed to TORI NEWS that the scheme has crashed in the country and it was indeed fraudulent. The source who is a Nigerian living in the country failed to provide facts and figures to back his claim. The screenshot above could improve the hopes of Nigerian participants of a resumption of the scheme in January 13, 2017.

Congratulations! #Ondo people # #Imo people # SaintP - (nice one @saintP) You See why tribalists should not have a place in the modern world Which side will Akete's children support in this igbo Vs Yoruba supremacy nonsense since they have both blood? Tribalists should understand that no one told God which tribe he/she wants to belong before they were created. This means that I could have been a Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, American, British etc because I never had any input in my creation. We need to see each other as one before tribe or race, tribalists learn before it is too late |

Read more..on petitioning Electoral college Electors On December 19, the Electors of the Electoral College will cast their ballots. If they all vote the way their states voted, Donald Trump will win. However, they can vote for Hillary Clinton if they choose. Even in states where that is not allowed, their vote would still be counted, they would simply pay a small fine - which we can be sure Clinton supporters will be glad to pay! We are calling on the Electors to ignore their states' votes and cast their ballots for Secretary Clinton. Why? Mr. Trump is unfit to serve. His scapegoating of so many Americans, and his impulsivity, bullying, lying, admitted history of sexual assault, and utter lack of experience make him a danger to the Republic. Secretary Clinton WON THE POPULAR VOTE and should be President. Hillary won the popular vote. The only reason Trump "won" is because of the Electoral College. But the Electoral College can actually give the White House to either candidate. So why not use this most undemocratic of our institutions to ensure a democratic result? SHE WON THE POPULAR VOTE. There is no reason Trump should be President. "It's the 'People's Will'" No. She won the popular vote. "Our system of government under our Constitution says he wins" No. Our Constitution says the Electors choose. "Too many states prohibit 'Faithless Electors'" 24 states bind electors. If electors vote against their party, they usually pay a fine. And people get mad. But they can vote however they want and there is no legal means to stop them in most states.
