⚡This night, 45,000 police officers will be deployed across 🇫🇷 France to deal with expected violent protests sparked by the killing of a 17-year-old by a police officer earlier in the week.

Lagos being a Yoruba land is not even up for a debate,

tundein18:
Read your own posts and you'll see why benin is reduced to one state

tundein18:
So lagos ogun ondo rivers awka ibom delta bayelsa will go with benin if we divide

tundein18:
Who is a benin

BentizilL:
You're the ignorant one here, Edo and delta were part of western region under Awolowo

tundein18:
So you're saying that lagos will go with benin and rivers bayelsa and awka ibom will go with benin based off your map

tundein18:
Yet you try to claim lagos belongs to benin based of precolonial history while trying to claim south south because of nigeria. Are you confused

tundein18:
yeah its one created by nigeria.

tundein18:
What is South South genius?

tundein18:
Benin is not south south and benin city is significantly worse than ibadan...

LOVEALAIGBO:
Dude, hardly any geo-political entity in Africa today existed in its present form prior to the coming of the European colonialists! What you had prior were mainly political/economic/cultural interactions between and amongst ethnicities contiguous and close to each other, and this is what obtained in the areas formerly known as Eastern and Midwestern Regions…even predating colonialism and slave trade.

Jogs1900:
These SE people are looking for survival and that's the reason for always mentioning SS in their phantom country.When they are ready to stand alone, the will not think of involving SS in their phantom Biafra.
SW leaders have been taking bold steps because they know they can survive without any region.

dvkot:
see bro, this war make me realize the massive propaganda the west has been on... And since then I've had a negative views towards the west. The russia situation is not even up to 10% of this France riot but up till now it's still in the news, CNN ran it for good 2days even after Wagner returned they were still running it

⚡🇫🇷 French politician Eric Zemmour on the riots:

“We are in the early stages of a civil war. That’s obvious. It’s an ethnic war. We can see clearly that it’s a race war. We see what forces are involved. We need someone determined and firm. … The problem, above all, is the number [of immigrants].”

seunny4lif:
Welcome on board

The French government will be shut down social media today evening as Marcon accused FB and co for the massive protest.
Imagine if its Russia government

Oba Sir Adesoji Tadeniawo Aderemi, Oni of Ife in 1959

- reigned September 1930 - July 1980

© Elisofon, Eliot - Smithsonian Institution

1) oduduwa, orammiyan, ogiso are made up stories, they never existed ! They are myths. You really know nothing about history.

2) the word "Oba" is the title of the king of Benin, just like the word "king" is the title of the overall ruler of England ! People like you confuse present and past and myth and reality.

3)Yoruba as we have it today is a recent creation which regroups several ethnic groups: freed slaves, and some kingdoms or chiefdoms of the southwest. Each one of those kingdoms had their own title which is also their word for king: in ife, it is Oni, in oyo, it is alafin...
The title Oba was copied by the yoruba around the 1930's as a replacement for the word "sir":

4)Indeed, yoruba monarchs used to be referred to as: "ooni of Ife, sir adesoji aderemi". Then they made an other adjustment later on in the colonial era and replace the English word "sir" with the Benin title of the king of Kings "Oba" and it became: "ooni of Ife, oba adesoji aderemi"

5)I don't know about "Ogun", so I can't say, although I know Ekiti was part of Benin when the British invaded in 1897.

Shma2023:
Good point.

We stopped competing a while back - @t KENYA IS FAR AHEAD OF NIGERIA IN ALL ASPECTS.

What is happening here, is what we call COPPING MECHANISM.

People are in denial herein.

Now the problem is — tiny sh*holes like GHANA & TANZANIA have joined the bandwagon. They are forcing their midget nations to relevance_ and dragging the thread to we vs you= INFERIORITY COMPLEX.
Don't GET ME WRONG. TZ & Ghana are good, but not as good as Nigeria Kenya, or SA.

Notwithstanding what I said, competing is GOOD! As long as it's cordial.

Notice there were some transitions in colonial era yoruba adopting the word "Oba":

1) oni of ife, adesoji aderemi
2) Oni of ife, sir adesoji aderemi
3) oba Oni of ife, adesoji aderemi
4) Oni of ife, oba sir aderemi
5) Oni of ife, oba adesoji aderemi (final form)

And that is how the word "Oba" was adopted by the Oni of ife, not so long ago.

The word remains the title of the emperor of Benin. As a polite and sophisticated person, I pay tribute to those from whom I borrow anything, but it seems the yorubas have an other kind of manners.

Biodun556:
The Governor, Sir Adesoji Aderemi doubling as the ooni of Ife was also a Christian in the old western region.

Aguiyi Ironsi and deputy, Babafemi Ogundipe were christians.

johntolu:
Lest I forget, I am also an apologetic Yoruba tribalist in the mould of Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Sir Adesoji Aderemi, both of Blessed Memories.

iamrealdeji:
Ooni Sir Adesoji Aderemi,the former governor of western region and a former minister in Nigeria and the greatest king Ofe ever had was a very close friend of Awolowo.

Monarchies and corresponding title of monarch:

1)Rome: Cesar
2) Germany: Kaiser
3) England: king
4) Ottoman: sultan
5) France : roi
6) Russia: Tsar
7) Benin empire: Oba
8 ) Oyo: alafin
9) Persia: shah
10) Egba: alake

Notice an early captioned picture of the Oni of ife: no mention of the word "Oba" when referring to him, in his even earlier pictures, there is rather a mention of the word "sir" in place of where the "yorubas" put the word "oba" today. The troll who precedes me knows all this since I have already given (in the troll's presence) several pages of proof of the fact that the first yoruba monarch to use the word Oba to describe himself is adoseji aderemi who started his ooniship without any association with the word Oba, and his predecessor was never referred to as "oba" in his appellation. When you ignore logic, you automatically become a fool and a fool deserves no reply.

⚡🇺🇸 Joe Biden after Supreme Court strikes down affirmative action in college admissions:

“Many people wrongly believe that affirmative action allows unqualified students to be admitted before qualified students. This is not how college admissions work.”

China just reached an agreement with Cuba to strengthen the Cuban military. This of course translates to Cuba having Chinese military Base in their country. Cuba is very close to the USA. Russia tried to do it once and was met with a resistance. The only reason Russia stopped is because they didn't think it is worth the lives of Cubans as USA was ever ready to nuke the country to oblivion.


China did it quietly whilst America was busy with Ukraine and Taiwan. Now the tides has changed. Difference between Cuba and Taiwan is that Cuba is much more recognised sovereign country and Taiwan isn't. You do the math.

Regex:
One military Base in Cuba really does wonders.
