Kaura Namoda wan beat Arsenal ni?

Lagos and Anambra shouldn't be on that list.

How is Lagos cleaner than Ogun, Oyo and Osun? Well, parts of Ibadan messed things up for Oyo but it's still a lot of fresh air out there. Ogun is generally okay safe for towns bordering Lagos. Osun is also okay.

Bauchi is okay but is it ahead of Kogi, Nasarawa , Delta or Ekiti?

Pay your tax. It's very important.

Do Christians refer to it as 'having sex'?
Even Musa sef don taya for Nairaland gate.

Imagine being so promiscuous and oloshoist that your father has to make a video explaining your escapades

We all have one cross or the other to carry. You do have yours too.

There is nothing truly "traditional" about the kings and the people anymore. Alaafin did not drop the name Akeem, Ooni catwalked like female models not too long ago, a Baale less than 100 years ago was announced this month as chairman of Oyo traditional council, one Oba in Lagos was slapping an elderly citizen.

Why still call them traditional rulers as basis for retaining them within our constitution? Are they still needed?

Also, imperial majesty is onlynfor kings with an empire. Others using it without such history are mere comedians

To every general rule, there is always an exception. Congratulations on being among the tiny exceptions to the rule in this scenario.

Japa, and Japa remittances, is the undisputed saviour of many Nigerian families already decapitated by a very vicious environment. It's not even up for any serious debate and for most Japarians, it is about the survival & the future of their loved ones. It is not about "I better pass my neighbour" dick measuring with friends

TheWebbers:
Abroad, the most overrated shii by Nigerians.

The most painful thing for the japarians is coming back home to see some people they left behind doing better than them.

I see those tears in their eyes when they come home and we hang out.

The worst thing to even happen to them is you traveling out to their Japa country for vacation, then hang out with them, take them out and ball them, then go back home. Premium tears.

This is coming from personal first hand experience.

You know it's the political pawns that make the loudest noise. Even Obi knows what's up and who the boss is.

Queseda:
Tell the noisemakers. Waziri is nobody’s mate

Mr APC chairman, is that an official decision of the party ratified by the states and NEC or just your personal opinion?

Unlike Northerners, Southerners are not huge on official party membership due to some violent political history and other reasons. Even in places like UK and USA, party membership is very low with states like Texas not even having official party membership.

When something favours Notherners, their politicians tend to milk it but they start changing tunes when they lag behind especially in education and resources. Talk of eat your cake and still have it

Even with less continental titles, Arsenal is bigger than Chelsea yesterday, today and tomorrow. Man Utd too far.

True. That's why I stay away from predicting Man Utd matches. They are way stronger than they display in most matches but whenever they are up for it that means big trouble for their opponent.

NaijaGoBetter2:
Thanks to Ruben Amorim, he got us some good players but got himself sacked because of tactics

emee701:
Dude you are jon snow. Ibadan gave your atiba land. When kurunmi wants to destroy oyo, it was Ibadan that destroyed kurunmi of ijaye and that's why today ibadan is ijaye and ijaye is Ibadan

A learned person would have asked:
Why did Ibadan attack Kurunmi for Oyo?
What's so special about Oyo to warrant a war where lots of people will definitely die?
You don't just go to war for the sake of it.
Use your brain bro.

Amotolongbo:
The “Alaafin-centric LGs should have produced Oyo Governor if it’s as good as you said it now.

Oyos always vote Ibadan. They are not competing. Ladoja got some of his strongest support from Oyo-centric strongholds. Same with Ajimobi and even incumbent Seyi. Oyos did Ibadans no wrong, ever. That mindset only support the historical basis of the bond which some unscrupulous ones are now burning to the ground. This is culture and tradition, not politics.

Oyo's might was already established long before Ibadan emerged so we can also say the entire South West may have been colonized by Fulanis if not for the powerful Alaafins of old. Many of them died protecting the region and Alaafin's stopped going to wars directly in the 1830s and Iba Oluyole became Bashorun.

Goodvibes007:
They are controlling their own domain.

Governor Makinde and the Oyo state house of asembly started the rotation for justice, fairness, and equity.

Truth be told, if not for Ibadan, Fulani would have colonized the whole of Yorubaland. They deserve their flowers.

If not for Ibadan, alot of us would have been bearing names like AbdulRaman, Abdullahi, Abdulmalik e.t.c just like in Ilorin. The Ibadans were the ones that stopped the conquest of the Fulani jihadist at Oshogbo on the their way to dip their sword in the Atlantic ocean as per the desire of Uthman Dan Fodio.

Amotolongbo:
Oh I’m engaging a pikin, sorry.

Tinubu is not so daft to leave an old time friend, Ladoja whose coronation he attended and of very high electoral value (11 LG) for a novice, Owoade with far less electoral value (~4LG) whose only relationship was giving Seyi Tinubu a chieftancy title so he could have a crumb from him.
Since the coronation, have you seen Seyi associating with the title in the public unlike the Stepmother, Yeye Asiwaju Oodua?
If Alaafin is that important, Tinubu would attend his coronation.

Heroes rise, heroes fall. Same as kingdoms and empires.

Yes, Oyo has 4 LGs on paper but 4 out of 5 LGs in Ogbomoso axis are firmly Alaafin-centric. Most LGs in Oke-Ogun are firmly Alaafin-centric. It's not as simple as you think.

Even inside Ibadan, a significant percentage are Alaafin-centric. The current Alaafin has family house in Ibadan, coming from Lawani Agogo-Ija line.

Ok, keep engaging on

ajalawole:
he will be remove by the governor and nothing will happen. He can go back to Canada and be planning trash, He will end up like ekpa

Let him remove him first, he has the power so let him do it

Amotolongbo:
If Alaafin is aligned with Tinubu, please who is Ladoja aligned with? You think Tinubu will dish Ladoja for Owoade?
Which battle did Alaafin thrive on? The one that sacked his kingdom?

See questions o
A more intelligent question would be who Seyi Makinde is aligned with, and the political moves around Okanlomo title. Stay on read-only mode and keep learning. On what Alaafin thrive on, sacked kingdom is common with those who managed to build huge kingdoms. It's not for peasants. The history can never be erased and you could see the implication with children of Baales rewriting history today to attach relevance to their humble history. Empire no be your mate

Amotolongbo:
Oluwo must have given the Alaafin a very wrong orientation or something to sniff.

I believe this script was written long before now and and being played.
Makinde stylishly left out Gbadegesin who is well connected and understands the politics so well from being the Alaafin. He brought in Owoade who is a novice and doesn’t have the resources to compete with the “big kings”. Owoade has been made a prawn.

Makinde already miscalculated.

Alaafin is fully aligned with Jagaban. This is just round 1 of a battle and Alaafins thrive on such battles historically. Is Makinde equipped to survive in one piece? Hope he consulted elders in his family house

MufasaLion:
Alaafin should get the hell out! Nobody cares about him or his position.

Define nobody? We do care about Alaafin the supreme monarch of the only empire in Yoruba history

seunmsg:
My brother, there is a big difference between the position of the Ooni and Alaafin. Ile Ife is the source of all humanity. It is our orirun. Whether you’re Alaafin, Oba of Benin, Olu of Warri, Oba of Lagos, Olubadan, Alake etc, we all trace our ancestry and royalty back to Ile Ife.

So, the leadership position of the Ooni is inherent. All Yoruboid groups don’t argue about that. We cannot joke with our source because doing that will amount to denigrating our history.

Alaafin on the other hand has not such inherent leadership position. He became powerful strictly as a result of military conquest. Sadly, he no longer possesses that military power. So, nobody owes him any loyalty again. All the vassal states under the old empire are now independent towns under the sovereignty of Nigeria.

Stop telling each other lies. Alaafin was powerful from Day 1 because Alaafin was Oranmiyan, the most powerful! His descendants still rule Oyo till today.

He was powerful even before building an empire and no Yoruba raises his hand in his presence.

LabStores:
Lol
Keep deceiving yourself
No be only ìfẹ empire, na iwo empire
Very funny people... You just want to twist and change history by force. When did ọọni started becoming king?

Very soon Modakeke people too will start claiming empire. Yoruba traditional institution is gone

I was just reading a story on the graceful presence of Alaafin Siyanbola Ladigbolu at the opening of Mapo Hall Ibadan in the 1930s, with pictures. It was crystal clear who ruled an empire.

Ibadan people, don't let them open file for you o

Ibadan - ibi ti Ole ti gbe n Jare oloun

WhiteIverson:
My boss Shikena.

Hope you're watching this one

Bro, I no fit watch due to tension

I remember the full excitement of our perpetual political pawns with their super noisy ATIKULATE AND OBIDENSE wave some years ago. At the end of the day, just lack bags of okrika clothes in the hands of Chukwudi at Oshodi, O Lule Pi, same thing happened with combo with Datti and all the heavy noise like spare parts market

See all of them commenting up and down on Obas who are playing games but little interest in finding solution to real issues within their society.

Prediction: Man United 3 Brighton 1

Kaczynski:
No, i won't tip besides i'm not her employer so why should i do such a thing .

tipping is nothing but an extortion mechanism dressed as gratitude.

I tip but it depends on your attitude to work while serving my table.

Fun fact: I consciously tip more in Nigeria than in the US. I feel happier nowadays as I stopped giving out to entitled people. Any youth working diligently for any organization and with great attitude brings joy to my heart. I encourage people around me to give to those who are working instead of those doing Twale everywhere.

Thank you. That's exactly why I asked for the location.

I live in the UK with my two children. One is under 16 and the other is above. I applied for thier passport renewals online and within a month I got a response - Both now have thier respective passports(5 and 10 years).

The older one was enrolled without a visit to the Nigeria House via the NIS contactless app. My younger child had to visit the Nigeria House for biometric capturing because he's yet to be 16.That's my personal experience. I didn't go through anyone. I just trusted the process and it worked for me.

obataokenwa:
ask those abroad. NIN site is totally not working while passport not possible to obtain within six months

You did not answer my question. Abroad is not a single country.
E-visa is an option if you have issues with Nigerian passport and very easy process.
