Welcome Ijebu State.
Ijebu omo alare.

by the way what will be the land mass of the ijebu state? Let me in laugh in ika language

actually, it is better to be small and efficient rather than big and useless.

Lagos is the most productive state in Nigeria yet it has relatively small landmass!!

@channel801,

thanks for providing clear statement on this story.

It is sad that virtually very few people condemn the barbaric act of 'beating' someone by MOPOL.

No wonder Nigeria gratduated to Boko Haram. And it is distasteful to use the word 'Aluu'.

Imagine if those guys were ur friends or family members.

Nigerians by their acts deserve the country they have TODAY!!!

@ndu_chuks

The Elders and fathers of Ijebu people would rather have their own state than be used by agents of PDP or Ojuyobo.

absolutely correct.

@Desola,

you are not helping @Sagamite.

I will not join in your abusive nature. It is only a sign of weakness.

I have spoken, if any group fought for the INVADERS hard, it was Ijebus. That historical fact is clear and I have shown why Abeokua was made capital of Ogun state and also why it was called Ogun State just because Mr Obasanjo is Egba son.

@sagamite,
U need to show maturity instead of being abusive. Provide a more superior facts.

There is not group in present day Nigeria that fought the invading British HARD like the Ijebus. It is well documented.

Foremost, most comments here are lacking in-depth.

Without Ijebu there would be no Nigeria. Go to your history!

In May 1891 the British Acting Governor, Captain C.M. Denton C.M.G., left Lagos with an escort of Hausa constables (Hausas are from the Islamic north of Nigeria) to visit Jebu Ode to make agreements allowing the free passage of trade goods through Ijebu territory. However the Awujale refused to agree to the British requests and he also rejected the British presents given to him by Denton, doubtless fearing that to accept them would obligate him in some way.

The Jebus were believed to have up to 8,000 men and some old Snider rifles, but the tribe was not rated highly as fighters. This assumption was mistaken. On 19th May the Jebu made a determined stand on the north bank of a ford over the Yemoyi River, five miles south of Jebu Ode.The Ijebu were determined to prevent the British from crossing the ford and as warriors were shot down or ran out of bullets fresh relays of men from the rear replaced them.

If any region in Nigeria deserves a state, it was Ijebu. They fought the British hands down. Lossing about 1000 men to the Maxim Gun. Obasanjo was a cheat, he created Ogun state in 1975 and make Abeokuta capital since he came from there.

It is time to reward the Ijebus for their galantry. Yes, welcome Ijebu State!

Heels are intended for 'short' ladies to match-up with their men.

it also give a sexy outlook if you have hot-legs.

generally, it should not be everyday where but for those special outings.. HEELS is it.

I just luv it on me baby.

btw: Sakoszy was wearing heel to match up to his madam!

[bold] But it will be unfair to review a book without reading it.[/bold]

Prof needs to find another way to make money... nobody is going to buy that book.

He should have stick to his mastery of literature and not go into politics.. especially politics of Nigeria!

Same happened to a niaja babe recenty:

For someone chasing an ideal of greater beauty and sex appeal, it was a sad death in a foreign hospital, thousands of miles from home. But such was the price paid by 20-year-old Claudia Aderotimi, who travelled from her home in London to America, apparently in a quest for backstreet cosmetic surgery to give herself fuller buttocks.

Ladies... be happy with what u have afterall punnany is SAME.

interested but I want to do openly here.

if you true.. provide more details.

Studio56,
Provide more details about your business, what you have done so far.

Shola, I could be interested as a Venture Partner.

But I need to see more detailed structure of this IT business.

There was no sentence to show that Soyinka backed the Achebe statement that 'Awolowo committed GENOCIDE against the IGBOs'

Yes, a lot of IGBO died but NO, Awolowo did not and is not responsible for their death!

1. will state police not be used as an instrument of oppression and political score settling?

That is ok. will you go and live in such state? No. So state that has better security will attract good people, better investment and develop.

2. how many states can finance a state police?

If they value true development, they will finance and budget appropriate for their state security.

3. what do we do with the present crop of policemen, if and when the state police comes up?

Present crop belong to the Federal. Thats FG's problem. Ofcourse some of them could join the state police.

4. can't we do something about the present arrangement?

Present system was setup by British to put ALL OF US into their control during the madness years of colony! It is not meant for us to develop.

State Police will be the best thing to happen to us.

A secure state/country is more stable and when you stable, you have ability to focus of developement and GROW.

Shocking!!!!

Why is everyone already condeming the man as the killer??

76stabs will surely have blood splatter all over the place!

where is the picture of the blood splatter to be consistent with the stab wound?

Yes, the pathologist could have inflicted the wounds...the guy's lawyer was not there during the autopsy.

Let us have open mind... it can happen to anyone of us!

Point: It should be proven beyond ALL DOUBTS

76 stabs wound is a lot. It is either:

a. the attacker is under influence of drug, etc

b. badly provoked.

There is no record if any of these 76stabs actually resulted in the death.
There is no information if the stabs is from same object.
There is no record of blood spatter on the crime scene.

So much is at stake, we need to look carefully, deeply and dont jump to conclusion.

yes we have not in common with these Saudis.

we should open our eyes......Nigerians are the highest from any one country that goes to Saudi for Haji

Black people needs to wake up and see the world for what it is!!!

It is time for us to create our own Holy Land in any part of Nigeria and send pilgrims there.

I am a muslim and the attitude of Saudi is crap.. load of crap!

I have always been against this Haji as it is nothing but a drain for us economically and a great benefit to Saudi.

It is time Nigeria muslim create their own Mecca, Kaaba, medina in any part of Nigeria!!!

It is all in our head thinking until we go to Saudi Arabia Allah will not bless us; simply brainwashing!

...who translate above to below languages:

Yoruba
Hausa
Igbo

The Presidency on Wednesday explained that President Goodluck Jonathan returned to Nigeria from his two-nation visit to Malawi and Botswana on Tuesday, a day ahead of his scheduled return, because he accomplished his missions earlier than expected.

Abati is indeed suffering, he should go back to what he knows best: article in Guardian Newspaper!

There is no way any President can finish ahead of schedule. The travels are planned, there is always side talks, dinner, diplomatic-business meetings, tours etc

If he finished on time, means there was an emergency at home.

Good Sign. Ethiopian airline is the best African Airline.

They have been doing well.

They are welcome... plus they have sweet babes to go round!

Mr Obasanjo actually is not a good farmer! But a clever criminal!

By 1999 his OTA farms was worth less than 20,000Naira.

Mr Obasanjo basically stole our common wealth to re-build his farm!

Operation Feed the Nation = OFN = Obasanjo Farms Nigeria( that was how he siphoned our money back then)

If truly Mr Obasanjo is a good farmer.. where can nigerians buy produce/product from his farm?

let me give you the answer. YOU PAY A BIG FAT ZERO. YOU DO NOT OWN THE PRESIDENTIAL AIRCRAFT AND NEITHER DO YOU OWN THE MONEY BEING USED FOR HER BILLS. HECK YOU DONT EVEN OWN YOURSELF. JUST BE HAPPY YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY WITH SUCH FREEDOM NOT TO GET CAUGHT UP IN THE MATRIX. NOBODY OWES YOU NOTHING. NOBODY OWES YOU HOURLY TABS ON THEIR HEALTH STATUS. HECK YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS DONT OWE YOU HOURLY TABS WHEN THEY ARE IN THE HOSPITALS. GET OVER YOURSELF. YOU ARE NOT THAT SPECIAL IN THE BIG SCHEME OF THINGS

All wrong!!!
Badluck did not put himself there. he needed people's vote so he has to account for same people; paying tax or not!!

How things can turn in life; just 3years ago it was Yaradull.... we should only have time for LOVE and UNDERSTANDING.

ayox2003:

So why did you learn English in the first place? If our ancestors had rejected English as a lingua franca, what would have been of our bilateral relations now?The world is in a cycle and China is next....

We would have advance so much!!!! You cant develop using other people's langugae!!!!

Thats why the European that went to American created their own Language. Your language is your identity, it is the driving force, the power the oil your growth. if you lose that... you become second class!

How much are you guys ready to sell a gallon?

@speaktome,
well done, good thinking.

do you have feasiblity plan for setting up Palm Oil Estate?

why do you guys all missing the 'point'?

Badluck needs money, loads of money for 2015!!!

This is avenue to get those money.

If truly the Malam and the badluck are honest, the cashless policy should have be allowed to run it course first!!!

would you rather have Putin as presido or Badluck as presido??

That is the beauty of this post!!!!!
