Honestly I don't know what the fuss is about this lady... She is beutifull no doubt,but all this sexy talks is just pure overated individual opinions.

All she has is a beeutiful face.



She is fat...that's not sexy....



Even stephanie okereke and genevieve and Ibinabo Fiberesima are more beutifull and cuter.


That's how they overhyped mercy johnson then I had to buy a C.D she acted in and I was heavily disapointed.

Thank you o jare. Omosexy ko, Omo sexual ni
She's pretty no doubt, but sexy? Mba!
Had to unfollow her on IG sef, when she started littering the space with her 'fat' un-inviting pishures..... no time

You should be the one to get this well - read:

Oduduwa married more than one wife and these different wives gave birth to these different kids with the first child being a female. Oranmiyan and others didn't have one mother as you claimed.

Oranmiyan didn not feel betrayed about anything and did not go to rule Benin out of betrayal accept to rule Benin. He left for Benin before properties were shared and since he was the last and everything had been shared upon his return.

As a result his father gave him earth which signified ownership of the places his brothers set up shops and to get a period tribute.

Ooni as a title was the term used to refer to Oduduwa has owning the crown and stuff but not owning the land - Oonile.

The person who tendered to Orisas and played the personal assistant role to Oduduwa was Adimu.

Oyo Ile - the actual place Oranmiyan set up Oyo which was referred to as Katunga by Hausa and people from the north.

Igboho was the place seat of power was moved to after Oyo was first sacked by Nupe.

The present Oyo was originally known as Ago-Oja.

Oranmiyan ruled, not as Alaafin but as Oranmiyan. The first Alaafin was his son, Ajaka, Sango's brother.

Thanks for the correction.
But I didn't say Oranmiyan left for Benin because he was betrayed.

macof:
ok pls on what grounds was Oranmiyan promised the throne of Ife?

He was the most adventurous and he commanded the Army at that time.

andromida:

I think I have the answer. I should be warry of you from now on

Oh boy, oh boy things are happening. This woman is baaaaad right under his nose sneaky sneaky.

I'm scared. Hope you wouldn't do such to me

NigerMan1:
stinggy - you rushed to conclude the Ilajes are "Yoruba" when we all know that the word "Yoruba" was used to group people who spoke similar language as the Oyo in the Mid 19th Century. What you failed to tell us, is what is the ANCESTRY of the Ilajes?

What is the ANCESTRY of many other tribes known as Yoruba today?

You wrote: "Ilajes are Yorubas who found their selves surrounded by Ijaws

You are fast in eliminating the influence of the Ijaw while claiming they are Yoruba. How did the Ijaw surrounded them, or do you want to claim the Ijaws are aliens on that land? What is the origin of the word "Yoruba"?

Your argument fails on so many fronts.
Yoruba used to group people who spoke something similar to Oyo? Really
Show me any similarity between Oyo language and Ijebu, Oyo language and Igbomina.

And what is the ancestry of Igboho Yorubas whose neighours are Tapas/Nupes? Or would you argue they are not Yorubas?
War unsettled most of these Yoruba groups you see scattered around. So many of their founders take off to avoid some kind of punishment and wherever they found their selves is where they settled at.

NigerMan1:
stinggy - please do not lump my posts here with anyone.

I did not form an alliance with anyone. Sometimes you Yorubas think others think or do like you!

Na una dey form mob dey either abuse person, or follow herd mentality when history is put forward. Please excuse the "...as posited by you people" from me.

Would you point some examples out from my earlier posts here?
And this might be where I drop any form of argument with you. Pls believe whatever sweetens your belly, it changes nothing, nor the facts that I know.

Ciao!

Please give your explanation if you can
Chaircover aka tearoses is just one
Bootlicking not allowed in the family section FYI

Speaking on what authority if I may ask?

NigerMan1:
stinggy - don't confuse the 21st century happening with ANCESTRY. From all available record, the Ilajes ancestry is 100% from Oyo. As for the Olugbo King, yes, that alignment is merely political and does not change their ancestry, which is partly link to Benin.

If Olugbo is Ijaw as posited by you people, wouldn't it make more political sense to flock with mainstream Ijaw kings and enjoy windfall, as the President is Ijaw too?

And take this correction; Ilaje's ancestry can be traced to Ife, not Oyo.

NigerMan1:
stinggy - can you please tell us why those "few misguided ones will refute" being Yoruba? Am sure you're not Awori, so why must you insist? I can tell you that until the you guys started fighting and claiming "Lagos is Yorubland" immediately after the 3rd mainland bridge was commissioned in 1990 Babangida, most yorubaland people use to (and still) hate the Awoiris with perfect hatred. Many people from Oyo, Ogun and Oshun regarded the Aworis as aliens.

I will answer the part with a question too - why are some Ikwerre people claiming they are not Igbos? Simple - distortion of history!

There was never any hatred, it's just a normal Yoruba way of making jests, which you and I know. It is the same way omo eko will regard omo-oyo or omo ibadan as ara ilu oke. It's not hatred.

Rose2014:
So the only south that should get any position is the SW and that's even a VP position that carries no weight? Smh

But the rest of the positions are free to go back to the north. Whether u chose to call it NE NN NC NW etc
While SE/SS should be left out.

The way Yorubas reason eh. I'm speechless

Your reasoning is upside down, for mentioning a whole tribe just because of one or two persons.

As per the sharing, can you put forward names of Senators and Reps from SE/SS under the new ruling party that may be considered for posts of Senate president and Speaker?

tonychristopher:
i like you, i must be honest, you are not insultive like others, very intellectual


Egun are Ewe language based

Ilajes are purely Ijaws speaking Yoruboid
same as kalabari are ijaw speaking miasma of igbo langauage even otuoke also

Ilajes are Yorubas who found their selves surrounded by Ijaws just like the Olukumis in Aniocha. Itsekiri drew their language from Ilaje, with a mix of Ijebu, Bini and Portuguese.
There was a guy that visited Ilaje/Ese-odo community and shared his findings on NL sometime ago (can't vividly remember the title). He confirmed this through the findings he got from the natives.

It is noteworthy too to point out that there are various dialects of Yoruba language which when spoken, an average Yoruba Ajumolo (central yoruba) might find difficult to understand, Egun, Ilaje and so many others belong to this group. But for easier communication between the Yorubas, a central Yoruba was adopted (Yoruba Oyo).

oneeaast:
just 3% of them travel.

Where did you dig this from?
Laughable

TBH, Igbos are better travelers than Yorubas but to come up with 3% means either you're being playful or you lack honesty.

tonychristopher:
Tomorrow you will tell us that Ilajes and Eguns are yoruba and they are Oduduwa children...pls fix the loopholes in Oduduwa history pls

History is meant to have loopholes since there are many tellers.
I haven't read so much about Eguns (though I believe they are Yorubas until I read a convincing counter), Ilajes are purely Yorubas, you can ask Olugbo of Ugboland - Obateru Akinruntan why he is trying to build gaps between all Yoruba kings.

hotwax:
Thank you mate. Because Britain colonized Lagos, Lagos belongs to Britain.

Because Fulanis conquered Ilorin, Ilorin is now a Fulani Town.

Because Benin colonized Lagos, they owned Lagos.

Because Rome colonized Jerusalem, its now a Roman city.

Meeen. people are just fcking pathetic and they reason like agama lizard.

[size=18pt]And one of them claiming Awori are not Yorubas. Awori is a Yoruba tribe. Awori people are from Ogun state. They are conc ijebu people. Cut us some slack.

You know nothing about Yoruba race.

The moment you claimed Awori are benin. Is shows you are either stewpid or have mental problems. Its like saying Ijesha people are not Yorubas....

Aworis are Egba people. STop this fcking bulshit. Stop distorting Yoruba history. Aworis are not Igbo or Benin...

Aworis are not Igbo. [/size]

----------------------------------------------------------------------

You cannot but laugh at so many history re-writers here.
They read only stories that support their belief.
We know our history, let no one distort it.
Aworis are waterside Oguns - fact!

tonychristopher:
so directly or indirectely Benin colonised yoruba and i still need to know the meaning of the words I said

words like Idumagbo
Idumota
Eko
Lekki
Oniru
Oshodi

and many more, I am in lagos and I have asked many yorubas these none can give me the real answer

Left for me the true owners of lagos are the Edos and Aworis

And Aworis have made it clear that they aint yoruba

So I am trying to know the truth of LAGOS AS A NO MAN LAND...from historical and archeological fact, it seems that the notion is true cos I cant see any pointer that Yorubas own LAGOS

Wrong! You wouldn't say true owners of Nigeria are the Brits because they colonized us at a time, would you?
Aworis are the owners, and are part of the larger Yoruba tribe, only few misguided ones will refute this.

hotwax:
The link was written by your fellow benin.

www.edoworld.net
We_know_Benin_history_dont_write_it_for_us

So no validity and credibility... Remeber, Muslims claim Jesus christ was a muslim, Jewish/christian claimed he was not. People write history to lay claim of what its not theirs. Benin are not the first people.

I'm not Bini, and if you read well, many parts of the write-up conforms with earlier-held beliefs.

And btw, Benin's claim of being the first people is farce - Ile-Ife was also in existence when Bini was.

tonychristopher:
YOU STILL HAVE NOT ANSWERED THE QUESTION

OSHODI IS A FAMILY NAME, WHAT IS THE MEANING


WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE WORD IDU IN YORUBA

BRAET THEM DOWN


THEN WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE WORD

LEKI

IKOYI


I AM WAITING FOR ANY PURE YORUBA THAT CAN PICK UP THE CHALLENGE PLS



THIS WILL PUT THE LAGOS NO MAN LAND AT REST

To answer your question..

The Aworis were the first settlers of Lagos. At the time, the influence of Benin kingdom was very strong.
The Awori didn't treat Bini representatives well during trade, when the Oba heard this, he sent emisarries who were attacked by the Aworis. The angered Oba now sent his son - Ado, with an army to demand an explanation from the Aworis, but he was surprisingly well-received and even asked to be their leader. Oba agreed to this and later sent some chiefs to assist Ado in running Eko.
Ado was responsible for naming of the areas of Eko, that's why they bear bini names.

kalakuta100:
wrong so oranmiyan left bini and founded another kingdom oyo-ile... That's a terrible lie not even told well no oba left or leaves bini to form another kingdom especially not oranmiyan.

That's why you should always read wide. He left because of the 'ibinu'(anger) in Bini people when he couldn't take it again, with the aim of taking up Ife stool but to his dismay, it has been occupied, so he had to leave again to set up his own kingdom.

You can read more from Prince Akenzua's reply to Ooni:

kalakuta100:
nobody that is not a Benin prince trained in the arts and traditions of Benin can rule the great land of igodomigodo... Please look at history and talk like some a someone educated.. This your story is half baked this is the real gist .The exiled Prince Ekaladerhan who was not known in Yoruba land, somehow earned the title of Oni Ile-fe Izoduwa which is now corrupt to yoruba language as Ooni (Oghene) of Ile-Ife Oduduwa and refused to return, then sent his son Oranmiyan to become king. Prince Oranmiyan took up his abode in the palace built for him at Usama by the elders (now a coronation shrine). Soon after his arrival he married a beautiful lady, Erinmwinde, daughter of Osa-nego, was the ninth Enogie (Duke) of Ego, by whom he had a son. After some years residence here he called a meeting of the people and renounced his office, remarking that the country was a land of vexation, Ile-Ibinu (by which name the country was afterward known) and that only a child born, trained and educated in the arts and mysteries of the land could reign over the people. He caused his son born to him by Erinmwinde to be made King in his place, and returned to Yoruba land Ile-Ife. After some years in Ife, he left for Oyo, where he also left a son behind on leaving the place, [s]and his son Ajaka ultimately became the first Alafin of Oyo of the present line[/s], while Oranmiyan himself was reigning as Oni of Ife. Therefore, Oranmiyan of Ife, the father of Eweka I, the Obaof Benin, was also the father of Ajaka, the first Alafin of Oyo. Oni of Ife and Alafe of Oyo is a Bini spoken language all the Kings title in Southerner are Edo Language. In Nigeria Edo has the greatest and rich culture and most influence in West Africa and powerful King in Nigeria.

Get this well.
Oranmiyan left Bini to meet another son of his father on the throne of Ife, a son that wasn't even born when he and his 6 brothers were around - Ooni. He was given birth to by a slave and not the same mother that gave birth to the 'other 7'.
Oranmiyan felt betrayed because he had been promised he would succeed his father Oduduwa and only accepted to rule Bini for a short while. But after he left the Ife palace, all of his brothers left too, each settling down in his own kingdom. Ooni was the only one available to cater for Oduduwa and that was why Oduduwa made it his dying wish that Ooni succeeds him. He left in anger and founded Oyo-ile (not the present Oyo, but the present day Igboho) as the first Alaafin, note:- Ajaka was never the first Alaafin.

Oranmiyan is the link between Oyo and Benin kingdom and that's why Binis claim to have closer ties with Oyo than Ife, having been ruled by the same Oranmiyan.

i last used it some days ago sha, before i decided to stick to d new version. i'm not sure dey hv d ability to disable old versions. it could be server or network, dont use EDGE.

Nah, it's not from network, 100% sure. Why I asked for link to the one you're using is because I've downloaded this same version from 5 different sources yet they gave me the same response as this after installation.
Might just stick to the lappy route

I didn't bother reading what you wrote. But from several readings, SLA is a very misunderstood politician and a great leader that had great plans for Western Nigeria.
So many of the projects being called Awolowo's projects were his.
