You love talking in myth...... What is europa... With this simple history

I read an hausa ancient book, sometime ago on the description of the name yorubas, it still fits today narrative of yorubas, in the book they describe, yorubas as weaklings, deceptive and cunny fellows, it. all started after Afonja invited the Fulanis to strengthen is army against his yoruba superiors in a cunny manner, he was later overthrown by the same fulani he sought his help from with assistance from his yoruba subjects, before he died he cursed his yoruba subjects for supporting his overthrowment, his curse was Yoruba will always be ruled over by the Fulanis till they will be completely destroyed

2prexios:
Alright bro, that should come as complementary copies then. I'll forward the booklets money control and Yoruba legend to you.

Some of the other titles are out of print now. Sometimes later I will produce the Amazon copies. Still working on the others.

My contact is on my absolutesuccess profile, I will forward the booklets to your address and you will pay the rider. Will that be okay?

Thanks.

2prexios:
Alright bro, give me an idea of the copies you might be getting to work with, then I will send it.

Thanks for the patronage in advance.

absoluteSuccess:
I will be willing to forward it to you with some other titles through courier if you stay in Lagos.

The shelf price is N200.
Bulk price is negotiable.

Cost of transportation is something else, so you can buy few more copies or get some other titles.

Here's the table of contents to know what to expect. It's a soft read but value for money.

Captive of the mighty, that's when kunmi captured Ogunmola

Prisoner of war, that was when Ogunmola captured the white guys in kunmi's army.

The just king, that's Alaafin Abiodun

The impossible ride, the Alaafin celebrated bebe, riding on buffalo to his hurt.

Two Wise women, they saved ijesha from the Nupe

Yoruba ancestors scripture, some quick gists about Ifa

The legend of Oduduwa, that I have shared earlier, just that simple.

absoluteSuccess:
About Oduduwa from my Petit journal.

The pocket size book was published few years back, 2015 precisely.

All we have could be little, little and truthful fact is better than a whole lot of lies.

And don't judge a book by its cover.

Oba means shinning in edo and can also mean King.

Religion is the bane of the black man and indeed Africans in general.

Bigflamie:
See how low Buhari has reduced this country.

Protesting against supreme court judgement instead of celebrating it shows that this country has gone to the dogs.

Judgement that's supposed to be the hope of the masses, now the pain and misery of them.

Venerable612:
This is wrong.

First off the name Amotekun has nothing to do physical semblance as such.

It literally translates - “one who knows as Ekun”.

Again, you are wrong that Yoruba doesn’t have a transalation for Tiger - because our fathers didn’t have an encounter with them.

In fact Tiger has two Yoruba names. It could be called OGIDAN or EKUN. That’s why they say this provide - “Ogidan o ni se Barber, ki aja de be lo ge irun”.

And “KAKA KI KINIUN SAKAPO EKUN, OLODE A MAA RODE.“ Mind you Lion in Yoruba is Kiniun. And no one will ever compare a Lion with a Leopard. No animal can stand the Lion grit for grit amongst the Cat Family other than the Tiger; hence, the comparison.

Also, when Yorubas jokingly refer to someone as Ekun - it’s to represent that the person is a Strong man.

Thus,

Lion - Kiniun
Tiger - Ogidan and Ekun
Leopard - Amotekun
Cheetah - Owawa.

Hope this helps.

Serve With Skirts Movement, an advocacy group was on Wednesday, stage a peaceful protest at the Unity Fountain in Abuja to demand inclusion of skirts as part of the uniform for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

Members of the group, comprising of young boys and girls, held banners with inscriptions like “there is a difference between the world and the daughters of God”, "We cannot dress like the world", “our sisters cannot dress like men. They should be decently covered”, among others, with some of the female members dressed in Khaki skirts.

According to them, year after year, female corps members are harassed at orientation camps for refusing to wear skirts. This, they said, is a breach of their fundamental human rights under Section 38(1) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

A leader of the group, Udochi Emmanuel, said the use of trousers are evoking immorality in the camps. In the 1970s and 1980s, she said, “we had our mothers wearing skirts and we want to go back to that.”

“We have asked for exemption (sic) severally. NYSC has not given that as an option, they have made it a compulsory one-year service for everyone below the age of 30 and they are mandated to wear those clothes.

“We have already started negotiations (with government) and we hope that from this dialogue we will get a favourable response,” she said.

When asked if don’t they get what they are seeking for Ms Emmanuel said they “may need to ask for redress in the court.”

A corps member, Patience Noble, who was part of the protest, told journalists that she was posted to Ebonyi State for service and when she insisted on wearing skirt, she was asked to leave camp.

“As a citizen of my country, I have the right to serve the nation just like every other graduate has. They insisted that I wear this trouser or leave the camp. During the camp there were lots of insults and humiliation – one of military tore the skirts I was wearing on my body.”

The protest comes barely two months after two members of the 2019 NYSC Stream C in Ebonyi State, were sent home from camp for refusing to wear trousers.

The NYSC spokesperson in the state, Ngozi Ukwuoma, explained that when the duo were accosted and interrogated, they disclosed that they could not wear the white shorts and the trousers given to them by the NYSC since it was against their faith.

Efforts were, however, made by the office of the Camp Director to make them see reason why they must obey the rules and regulations guiding the orientation and NYSC, but all efforts to do that were futile, she said.

This act generated controversy among Nigerians as many were torn between allowing skirt as part of the NYSC uniform or not.

Although the NYSC act does not clearly state what the uniform should be, it only said the corps members should accept and wear whatever is given to them.

Section 3(1)(ix) of the NYSC bye-laws states that every corps member shall “wear the various uniforms provided for the activities.”

It also says “any member who refuses, fails or neglects to comply with this rule shall be tried by the Camp Court and, if found guilty, be liable to be decamped and sent out of the orientation camp.”

The Senate had in March 2018, rejected a bill to amend the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Act.

The bill was rejected following concerns that such amendment requires altering the constitution which requires a longer process.

Officials of the NYSC have, however, continued to admonish corps members to adhere to the laws of the Corps.

alBHAGDADI:
If Peter didn't pray, what then did he mean by "Jesus make thee whole"?

Shouldn't he have just said "Aeneas, arise"?

He simply subjected it all to Jesus who could make Aneneas rise and walk. He never decreed and declared which is to subject it to his own power.

Stop mixing faith and decree/declare. Faith means faith on God, while decree and dear means faith in your ability to speak those things to being.

Below is an Eliphaz the Temanite teaching falsehood to steal money.

alBHAGDADI:
Verse passage, Jesus was talking to Peter, not you.


Matthew 16:18-19 King James Version (KJV)
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

The passage below speaks of action, not just word of mouth. The action brings immediate result. If the church agrees and says a brother is now an heathen, it becomes so and Heaven agrees too because a certain process is followed prior to that. This doesn't say you should declare that you are great when you are a pauper.

Mathew 18:15-18
Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Good one!!

wagazala:
Perhaps you are the one saying things you dont know. These names you mentioned didnt bring the kind of attention Dagrin brought to yoruba rap industry. His death alone opened up the highway to attention, the industry was thirsty for more yoruba bangers and what happened, olamide blew just the way puffy blew when smalls died.

Lord of Ajasa, AY one hit wonders.

It is what it is. So say it like it is. Give credit to whom credit is due.

daviesblaze:
Who were AY and Ajasa before Dagrin emerged??
Were they popular choice among the average Nigeria before dagrin??
Take your time and approach 20 millinials and ask them about Ay and Ajasa. I can guarantee you that only 5 percent out of this twenty will claim knowledge about this people.
But ask them about dagrin and see the magic. The spark that lits up in those eyes of theirs.

So bro before you post think.
You are smarter than this write up you just put up

Soso990240:
I don't join in such an argument, but just know this. Ay and Lord of Ajasa never made songs like Dagrin. Dagrin Pon Pon was d biggest Rap song in Nigeria before his Death. Pls, apart from Lefenuso with 9ice, which Lord of Ajasa song blow for Nigeria? I be Igbo boy, but I started listening to Yoruba rap because of Dagrin. ID cabasa and Reminisce are intelligent, they had to capitalize on Dagrin style and void. ID cabasa made Olamide with dat style.

wagazala:
Badoo should do this for the industry. Dagrin paved the way for y'all, show his fam some love. Plus the boy dey try.

I thank God the op had admitted some of the fact the benin people lay claims on

Oduduwa falling from the sky have always been debated by the benin people the Benin with a well documented history have always mainted oduduwa was not a sky diver or a Wonderer from Mecca but a banished Prince from benin....

The world oba was madd popular by the benins to the yorubas as stated by the o.p since all kings had their original title
So i wonder why they will take oba from obatala to represent king why didn't just take the full name fo represent king as a general term for king....i thank the o.p for clearing that fact

Olowo of owo havinv the oldest palace in yorubaland also has its monarchy from benins ,

Oba kha to kpere

Ise!!!!

noeloge82:
No law but if u pay with cash to bank anything from 1000 u pay additional 50 naira stamp duty, if u transfer 50 naira stamp duty will also be charge once d receiving account is a cooperate account

noeloge82:
So wrong
The problem is that when u make law u don't think of it's impact , if I sell goods of 1000 and a customers uses pos and pay meaning that d value I will receive for 1000 naira goods is 950 I will simple adjust my price to 1050 so that d customer bears d burden.
Do u know that school fees now has been adjusted to this stamp duty stuff , some schools adjusted by 50 naira while some adjusted by 100.
Now who bears d burden the customer of course and this discourages online transactions as the price of paying by cash now is cheaper than transfers.
Fuel station will preference cash except you are wiling to pay d 50 stamp duty cos a fuel company cannot receive alert of 10 liter fuel as 1400 instead of 1450
This is just wrong , it could have been better if electronic transfers attract no stamp duty while deposits attract stamp duty , this instantly will make people move to electronic transfers

ednut1:
When Kanu said 9ja was a zoo. I thought he was mad. Now i know better. The businesses just have to increase price by 50 na. Very useless cbn

Humphrizy:
Chaiii...That means business owners will always add #50 on top each product incase a customer wants to go for it.

CBN and their charges eeh
