try standing in front of a plane wherever you are and stopping it from flying then see if you won't be arrested faster than Usain Bolt and charged with terrorism. Those who had the drink poured on them said it's alcohol, social media noisemaker is insisting that it's water. If the Wasiu had been a Bright Chimezie on that day (impossible) we all know your opinions would be different and noisy

Tribalists spotted.

Ps: Wasiu was standing beside the plane with 3 of the pilots colleague as well. The pilots colleague almost had the heads of her colleagues taken out as well

GeneralPula:
Wow

I’m just getting to see this for the first time..

Really. That tweet trended for a while on Twitter.

rinzaugustine:
That money is actually nothing for a decent life, just survival

When has allawee ever meant anything. These ones are even lucky sef

Racoon:
Yeah! Enjoy it while it lasts. The harsh reality of life is waiting for them after NYSC.

That's how it has always been like forever. Some will get good jobs immediately after, while other sill struggle.
Some will japa while some will become entrepreneurs.

Enjoyment corpers. During my service year, OBJ, it was only 7,000 naira that we always end up blowing away within 3 hours at the mammy market.

zero8zero:
I never knew this man is this tribalistic. No wonder, he didn't say a word when his wife made that tribal jabs against Lagos.

He never condemned his wife bigoted statement because he himself is a bigot.

brain54:
Invest in New York at your peril...


Or invest in South Africa at your peril. Is that bigotry?

Reno is actually part of the problem!

Yes. It's bigotry.

Nothing to worry about. Just shows desperation of a politician.

Racoon:
Shebi you asked for Obi achievements or legacy projects? Don't give me any clues. So here you have it;

Peter Obi's legacy detailed on thread below. Let's not forget how he increased poverty in Anambra.

GboyegaD:
There are different reasons why people drop out of school although many people never had the intention of going to school from the inception.

You Gerrit. Na just an opportunity to JAPA to America. Lol.

Bump.

Softmirror:
You dey make me laugh.

They are hypocrites.

21lucky:
Maybe the two videos below will give you a clue of Fulanis and other northerners meddling with the local politics in Lagos state

Hausa and Fulani have not been living in mutual understanding with yorubas in Lagos for so long now.

We are okay with them meddling in it. It's Igbos we don't want.

ElSudani:
Fake Hausa. Whenever you see any post starting with '"I am so and so" it's most likely a lie.

Yup.

21lucky:
So you are trying to say that the Hausa and Fulani are part of yoruba culture and so the reason the Lagos state government did not rename lagos streets with Hausa and Fulani names?

Yes. You can now go and warm eba chop.

Igbos are still not getting it.

Okay, we the Yorubas have no problem with the hausas. It's you we have issues with

Love how the Yorubas are now getting rid of liberalism.

Audio appointment. If it's true, why don't you post the appointment letter.

I remember her clearly. She was unique back then due to her style

lawani:
Yes but the similarities between their language and Yoruba is not because of Oranmiyan. Its because of shared ancestry thousands of years ago

Are you talking about the Obagodo?
I have a few books that details how the Yoruba also had influence on the dynasty but they are the present day Ogiamen, and they are very Edoid as they come. Maybe the Yoruba influence disappeared over time. I can't tell.

I have the page on the treaty between the Oba of Benin and the Ogiamen dynasty, but Nairaland is not allowing me post more pictures.

osuofia2:
The king of serving for is Fayoshe, Obi need more training from Fayoshe on food serving both on the street

Lmao. This is so true

Let's not forget those that turned to hair dresser (Sanwo) or those that turned to roasted corn sellers (Okworocha)

lawani:
I was surprised when one Benin guy told me Edokpolor means Edo are very plenty. He could have been speaking Yoruba. Another said Okada means Oke Ada upside of the Ada river. It is also the same way in Yoruba

It's possible. They bear Yoruba names to due to the influence of Oranmiyan and trade with Owo.

Infact, if you travel to Usen. Their King retained more of the Yoruba culture than the palace in Benin. The founder of Usen was one of those that followed Oranmiyan to Benin but stayed back to create his own kingdom.

Check how the Elawure (Oba) of Usen is being praised here in the video below. The woman is praising him in pure undiluted Yoruba. Usen is in present day Edo State.

Same Elawure of Usen here. pic.twitter.com/ZN2KqcN2Gx

More on igala influence on Igbos.

drnoel:
That doesn't sound correct bro. The Nri kingdom was there around the time of the Benin kingdom if am not wrong

As per Nri kingdom.
The Nri kingdom declined at some point and the Igbos were not united. They had no standing army. Families and villages waged war against each other. The disunity made them easy pickings for raiders like the igalas, Benin, isoko, itsekiri e.t.c
Just google it. It's why some igala had influence in many Igbo states all the way to Anambra today. Some Ezes still pay homage to the Atta Igala.

drnoel:
That doesn't sound correct bro. The Nri kingdom was there around the time of the Benin kingdom if am not wrong

As per Benin or Edoid.
The Benin and Yoruba are two different ethnic group. The only relation they have is the Oba and a few Yoruba families that followed Oranmiyan from Ife on the expedition to Benin.

Some of the families below.

Uhe is what old Benin call Ife.

I have a flight to catch to the Atlanta, US tomorrow. I hope I am safe.

Wishing those that will be involved in the capital maintenance project success. From a fellow Power Systems Engineer.

This is very good. Kudos to all those that made it happen.

Zooposki:
Hmmm

Hmmmm cousins.
