pharmow:
I'm a little surprised there are handful of people that don't know who Deinde Fernandez was. Truly there are many kids on Nairaland. In the 1980s and 90s, years before Dangote, Adenuga and Otedola becomes household names synonymous to wealth in Nigeria. The likes of Deinde Fernandez, Harry Akande and MKO Abiola wealth are the type you pray to God to bless you with. This is a man that held ambassadorial positions in many countries around the world, he was a deputy prime minister in a country outside his country of origin, a very highly diplomatic man respected all over the world, we were told he owned a private island, he owned cars that were owned by the royal family, this man defined poshness and classiness of wealth. With reasons best known to him, he didn't do so much on the home front (Nigeria).

RIP sir

Some info for the indomie generation

Very funny
I cannot but laugh at the number of 'kids' who never heard the name Dehinde Fernandez growing up.

RIP Oluwo Agbaye, may the Gods accept your gentle soul!

Arsonists on the rise these days

Even though I don't advocate jungle justice, I don't think it is wrong to set this old man ablaze too. Maybe this new craze will die down.

To those of you castigating and blaming akpabio, my question to you is- is he the driver? Shm

If Akpabio has ever reprimanded the driver, he wouldn't have tried it.
Maybe he has always condone his drivers breaking traffic light, so the driver did what is their 'usual practice'

Not only God. Jonathan showed no will in punishing corrupt officers. Everyday a certain amount is looted/missing, he was too weak to make an example of anyone.
Instead of punishing them, he sets up committees to be headed by the same officers who have cases hanging around their necks.

Nigerians aren't fools, they got tired. Too much was too much!

Not fine. My phone is down, I need a strong power bank

Gwagwalada, Abuja-FCT in 2011.

2011. Things must have changed. Will try it out though.

Thanks.

Good news!

Remains the AG church at my backyard. Their choirs won't do rehearsals in the daytime until around 8pm and through into the night when others should be sleeping. Even the pastor slates deliverance services to late hours.
The nearby mosque has tuned low its speakers, but trust christains, they'll readily label you anti-christ if you try to hold a reasonable chat with them on the noise.

Great news! We're on our way back to sanity

Report to her superior and then go to the head office with a letter addressed to whoever is in charge and explain your case... I received 3 sneakers worth $320 and I only paid N500 to receive.

Are you kidding me
Which of their offices pls?

What does that greeting mean sef?

Depends on our level of closeness.
If we're very close, of course I'll tell him. And I'll keep mute if we're not too close

How did Tinubu sink this low?
Blaming PDP for things blatantly orchestrated by himself

frankyychiji:
It will not. PMB is a Fulani man who is unrepentantly bigoted! Until we see him and his agencies begin to prosecute nothern bigwigs who stole the country blind but never developed even their own people and zone, I will not take him seriously.
Remember, how him (Pa Buhari) shipped the southern politicians to kirikiri in 1983 while retaining their northern counterparts in luxury mansions under the pretext of house arrest.
Can you change the spots of a leopard?

Are Dasuki, Alex Badeh, Dikko Abdullahi, Lamorde southerners?

CallPolice:
You should blame the press looking for news and not the man.

No. This was a planned event. Those vehicles were all driven down and lined up to a place. Pressmen invited and even given envelopes.

If they don't want paparazi on this kind of news, nothing stops the governor instructing them to drive the vehicles down straight to force HQ.

DoTheNeedful:
Black man and black brain Mandating public school teachers to withdraw their kids from private schools is an infringement on their rights and i dont think that is in consonance with any labour laws.
People have the right to send their kids to wherever;thats why i dont join people to clamour for our leaders to stop sending their kids wherever. Our leaders should just be morally guided enough to make our schools globally competitive and we citizens should demand just that.

Well said.
Where I send my children/ward to should be my choice and mine alone.
These governors and misplaced priorities.

Check out some peeps praising this move, I smh vigorously

chimkaire:
...how about me coming along with my friends? We won't inconvenience you, wallahi but the monetary reward is upfront, you know naa cos my friends can over-react

To pay upfront won't be a problem, but you know this is a Sango event sha? Olukoso doesn't take near-fraud lightly

chimkaire:
...maybe, if U had included monetary rewards...



Don't come back cosmeticizing Ur earlier assertion

Sweerie I'll include monetary reward if you can make it down.

Which assertion could that be?

Not bad, his hands are so soiled.
He needs to tell us where all the proceeds under him are.

General Burutai is there to prevent any coup
Amina Zakari can now write the election results APC wants
While Col Hameed Ali will be unleashed on anyone who raises an eyebrow
Nigeria heading towards full blown dictatorship
Buhari is not leaving office anytime soon. It is until death do him away.
With Yusuf being groomed and schooled in governance by his father. Nigeria may be next North Korea

Stop being paranoid bro, this is 2015

handie:
What's soo special about this? He's just carrying out the duties he was elected to carry out. While campaigning, he promised to enhance security in d state. Dude is just fulfilling that promise

I need answers too.
Seems everything is news now. He bought vehicles for Police to enhance security of his state, so what
These governors will get to the stage where they'll start announcing to us when they pay their workers salary.

chimkaire:
*gives him a side-eye*
I jes dey luk yhu

Sweerie why the side eye?
I'm only spreading a good news here

Not too late, you can still make it down. Will be waiting to host you

10. SANGO FESTIVAL

The Sango Festival is held in honour of Sango, Omoekun (“son of a tiger”), from whom the present day Alaafin of Oyo Oba derives the title.

Sango was the second son of Oranyan, the first alaafin and the seventh grandchild of Oduduwa in Ile Ife. Upon the death of Oduduwa, the grandchildren dispersed from Ile Ife, forming different Yoruba kingdoms in the western part of Nigeria.

According to oral history, Sango was said to be so powerful that he amassed a formidable empire in Africa and transported Oyo culture beyond the Oyo Empire. He was a strong warrior, regarded during his time as a symbol of power and truth. He was the supreme judge in Oyo Empire and the final court

I thought you wouldn't include this.
God save you

The annual festival is on, for those that wanna attend.

samplegirl:
So there is something to uphold from the previous government?

I thought everything about that government was useless.

Anyway I can't remember the last time I joined issues with a fool.

Of course there were good things about it but did I even praise the past government in what I wrote?

HungerBAD:
Sometimes i am puzzled to how people act.

They say the Yoruba race started from IFE. We have a prince that wants to be a King in Ife, going to Kano, Kaduna, ABuja and other "NORTHERN STATES" lobbying to be the King of a Yoruba land.

Lobbying for a Western Stool, in the Northern part of Nigeria.

So what exactly am i missing here?does this mean the Ooniship will be decided in the North? or are the Kingmakers living in the North?or maybe Ife is related to the North?once upon a time, Oba's used to be picked very quietly. But now? everything has been politicized for selfish reasons.

What happened to the Oracles making the choice of who rules?anyway i am just an observer, performing my Civic duty.

All he's doing has political undertone - going to people perceived close to Buhari so as to get his candidature influenced.
Kingship of any sort in Nigeria is now political. Ife is a core PDP town and APC is bent on taking it. All these princes know government of the day won't allow any Ifa speak on this matter.

It's a shame though. Our revered tradition is being trampled upon by these vagabonds who find theirselves in power

This wouldn't have happened If Awolowo allowed for due process and didn't impose Olubuse II

Isn't this the 3rd time of this post on FP this year?

CyberWolf:
How many times have you criticized Buhari's style of governance on this forum?

His 'crazy' focus on probe leaving vital aspects of governance.
His entourage to US, leaving behind those that matter and going with some air-heads.


Note Falana compared an aspect of Bubu's governance with Jona's, and rates the latter better.
This isn't an overall comparison.

CyberWolf:
Do you agree with Falana or not?

I do!

Shymm3x:
@9jacrip

I'm not feeling this picture. Why would a Yoruba prince, who might end up as the next king of arguably one of the most important thrones in Yorubaland, go visit a freaking emir of Kano (not even the King of the Sokoto emirate - the northern jihad seat of power)?

It seems those who label modern Yoruba folks as northern slaves aren't lying. This picture is disgusting!

What's your take on this picture?
Can you identify these two men?

agarawu23:
he was in shrine during election

Shrine or Church, the true believers worship the same Almighty God!
Thought you know.

Unsad:
Falana, a typical Yoruba. Curse yesterday and bless today. Smh.
I've always said it that GEJ would be praised when he leaves office by the same Nigerians who cursed him. I miss you GEJ, even though PMB is way better.

This is where having reasonable conversation with some of you guys is impossible.

That he supported Buhari before election doesn't mean he can't fault his moves.
Yorubas do not blindly follow and support all your actions just because they like you. Where you excel, they praise you. Where you err, they chastise you!
Not blind follow follow mentality come woe come weal some of you empty heads carry around.
