PoliticsRe: Is Yoruba Language Becoming The Face Of "Nigerian Culture"? by Talawaka: 5:28pm On Dec 19, 2022
TakeNigeriaBack:
Why was Yoruba the ONLY African culture/language that survived in the Americas after slavery? Hausa did not survive, Igbo did not survive, Akan, Ashanti, Ewe none of them survived. Why is that?
This is because the enslavement of Yoruba people never really got into gear until the collapse of the Oyo empire.
While the conflicts in 1750 created the conditions for the heinous trade across what is now regarded as South Western Nigeria, it took another 40 years before the Lagos port became a major outlet.

The simple truth is that, bastioned by empire, the Yoruba arrived in record numbers much later than a lot of the other groups you mentioned.

Let's rest all the talk of exceptionalism and supremacy, it is a distraction that only serves to undermine the contributions of others.

Sorry my people this might be a bit long.

Now, this is why I’m angry, I LUV ORAL too much, its my favourite part of love making, for sometimes now, anytime I start my movement going downward on her, she will stop me, make I use hand na, NO, but see Aunty put her hand for THERE now. I’m not surprise, why? Because she confessed to me when dating that she is addicted to masturbation but working on it, that she will stop. Out of love I didn’t judge her, no one is a saint, I also saw it as maybe we can work things from there, bringing it in to our love making to spice things up in our sex life but now, I see my wife prefer masturbation to my oral and sex in its entirety. Guys forget, I’m not hyping myself but I dey try for oral. I can be there, 30min, 1 hr doing my thing (magic), and the result Is always awesome, as I gain more satisfaction in seeing my partner having orgasm than anything else.

#Peace!

MouthAction Habits Can Affect Your Cancer Risk

About 70% of oropharyngeal cancers—cancer of the back of the throat, base of the tongue and tonsils—are caused by human papillomavirus, or HPV. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about 3,500 new cases of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers are diagnosed in women and about 16,200 are diagnosed in men each year in the United States.

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the U.S. Of more than 100 types, about 40 can spread through direct sexual contact to genital areas, as well as the mouth and throat. About one dozen types of HPV cause cancer, including oropharyngeal, cervical, vaginal, vulvar, penile and anal cancers.

Those who are old enough will recall that Tinubu actually worked to enshrine peace in his state at the time.
While I am no supporter of his, I know well enough that a binary view of the events from that period helps no one.

The lived experience...

Lagos State Governor Bola Tinubu on Sunday escaped an assassination attempt in which four other people were killed. Recounting his experience, Tinubu - who was unhurt - said attackers shot at his convoy while he was on his was home from a tour of waste collection operations and security arrangements in the city. Police Commissioner Mike Okiro blamed the attack on the Yoruba Oodua People's Congress, held responsible for several outbreaks of ethnic violence over the past two months in which some 100 people have died, AFP reported. Police have arrested two prominent people in connection with the attack on the governor, `The Guardian' said. Tinubu said the attack reinforced his position that the state needed at least 20,000 additional policemen to safeguard life and property of Lagos' eight million residents, `The Guardian' reported.

There are also numerous reports since September 1999 of persons alleged to be OPC members being arraigned before judges (Guardian 14 Sept. 1999; ibid. 3 Nov. 1999; ibid. 18 Dec. 1999; 18 Jan. 2000). According to the Guardian, seven persons who were arraigned for the attack in December on Lagos State Governor Tinubu's convoy confessed to being members of Adams' OPC faction (18 Dec. 1999).

Former governor of Lagos state and Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) chieftain, senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has spoke on his attendance of the Democratic Party Convention in the United States of America.

Controversy had trailed his attendance, as allegations had been that he bought the invitation to attend the convention.

The former governor spoke to journalists upon arrival in Lagos on the issue and the coming elections in Ondo state, one in which his party, the ACN, is keenly interested.

While responding to the rumour of the visa denial, the spokesperson for the party’s PPC, Festus Keyamo, released a photo of Tinubu’s US visa to shut critics up.

Gunmen in Nigeria Kill a Dozen People, Abduct Others from Mosque

Gunmen in Nigeria killed a dozen worshippers, including an imam, and kidnapped several others from a mosque on Saturday night, local residents said on Sunday, in the latest attack by armed gangs in the north of the country.

Armed gangs, known as bandits, attack communities where security is stretched, killing people or kidnapping them for ransom. The gangs also demand villagers pay protection fees to be allowed to farm and harvest their crops.

Lawal Haruna, a resident of Funtua, in President Muhammadu Buhari's home state of Katsina, told Reuters by phone that the gunmen arrived at Maigamji mosque on motorbikes and started shooting sporadically, which forced worshippers to flee, said AFP.

About 12, who were attending night prayers, were caught in the gunfire and killed, including the chief imam, said Haruna.

"They then gathered many people and took them to the bush. I'm praying that the bandits release the innocent people they abducted," said Abdullahi Mohammed, another resident of Funtua.

Katsina state police spokesman Gambo Isah confirmed the attack and said state-backed vigilantes, with the support of some residents, had managed to rescue some worshippers.

Katsina is among several states in the northwest of Nigeria which share a border with neighboring Niger, allowing the gangs to move freely between the two countries.

Nigeria's military has been bombing bush camps used by the bandits, but the attacks continue, raising fears about the safety of voters who will go to the polls to choose Buhari's successor in February.

In the UK so many Nigerian parents have misplaced their priorities, they rather work 24/7 and make all their monies to build mansions in Nigeria at the expense of their children's lives.

So many Nigerian parents in the UK don't even attend parents' evenings at their kid's school, some can't even help their kids with homework. Some believe their kids are at home and they are safe not knowing who is there with them. Some would rather spoil their kids with money & expensive outfits instead of investing quality time in them.

The most painful of losses is that of a child.

Ifeanyi's handlers were clearly negligent here.

Drowning kills more children ages 1 to 4 than any other cause, with the exception of birth defects, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

And though many pools may be closed or have limited hours this summer due to the pandemic, it’s especially important to be mindful because many children who drown slip unnoticed into pools. And 56% of child drownings are attributed to a lack of adult supervision, the Consumer Product Safety Commission noted.
