I was in school during Vakama, Legacy, 3A's, Burkina and MM. I was also there during the many struggle of Tony Fash including the 1998 alutas for MKO Abiola's death.

That picture is like 6 years old Tope na true?
Wow! You were around a long time dude. I was a member of the SRC during the "Revolution" regime. You missed that regime. It came right after Burkina was pursued out the school over the Fanta House Party money scandal. I'm not quite sure if Obesere is still in school though, but I left him there. MM on the other hand claimed he was robbed when he contested the post of Secretary General (SUG) by Saburi. BTW, do you know Saburi was expelled from school? Wait a minute, Dayo, are you "Ola Rotimi" the PRO during "Revolution"'s regime?

The seeker,

In Year One I stayed in SPorts hall M1-109,
Year 2 Faj- room 218(Block 5)
Year 3 Awo room 76 (Block 3),
Year 4 Awo 151(Block 5),
Year 5 Awo 218 (Block 7).
Wow! Then you're a Great Awoite then. Were you still in school during the reigns of Dr. 3A's, Tony Fash, etc.?

Tpia, sorry if you found that very offensive. I didn't mean for it to come out to you like that. It was just an expression and I didn't specifically related that to you, rather I did to the generalization of what people requested. Again, sorry!

For the records, Wawa people does not include all the Enugu state people let alone Ebonyi state people.

Wawa people are predominantly from Ezeagu/Udi/Oji river axis, extending down to Nkanu. That's basically Enugu West and East senatorial zone. Enugu North (Nsukka axis) are not Wawa.

Ebonyi (Abakaliki & Afikpo) people are entirely another specie of people  grin  undecided

@poster
in this day and age, the mobile phone is a very private object especially to someone who do not want you to search through it. its all about honesty.
if you are with someone that refuses to let you go through their phone for whatever reason, then you have to accept it and respect this person wishes. also you should realise that there is something in that phone that he/she doesnt want you to see. it is not always about cheating and could be anything.
would you then be insecure and think that its a girl thingy etc or would you trust his judgment and not go through his phone accepting that it might be anything(family etc)?

its all about how comfortable you(and he) are in that relationship. . . . . . . dont automatically assume that because you are comfortable with letting HIM check your phone that he should automatically do the same and be as comfortable as you.

IFELEKE:
Seeker,
Yes Akande was the best governor osun people had but he made a costly mistake towards the tail end of his tenure by embarking on mass retrenchment in the civil service esp. teaching though the move was economically and morally correct but it was a worst political gamble because the PDP rode on that to turn civil servants against him(by the way civil servants constitute the bulk of the electorate in osun). . .and he lost.
Since then,aspirants have been careful not to be too associated with him so as not to incur the wrath of the civil sevice.

And yes most of the commissioners in lagos are not from the state.

tpia, what do you want to know?
Yes, I think I remember that. I heard about a mild war between him and Omisore(his deputy). According to sources close to Akande, they say he's a very stingy man. Checked out his profile and yes, I can safely say he was a good governor. I support his move to have some unqualified teachers retrenched(what's the use of an english language teacher who can't make a simple sentence?).
He tried to reform the education sector but as it is, people aren't always satisfied. I think he was more concerned about building Osun state than seek a re-election.

[quote author=tpiah* link=topic=297077.msg4343387#msg4343387 date=1250145194]but looking at the[b] present[/b] cabinet, I dont think non-indigenes outnumber indigenes. At least not that I can see so far.

Tinubu probably had more outsiders in his own administration because he traced his roots to another state outside lagos. And are you certain there were more non-lagosians? huh






I also noticed among the Yoruba, its quite common for relatives and friends to pressure a man into taking another wife, even if he prefers to be monogamous. Especially traditional families, though this attitude can also be found in Christian ones.

If the man and his wife resist the pressure to be polygamous, his relatives can attack the wife and blacklist her for not allowing her husband to take on extra wives.

To me, this is a very puzzling mentality.[/quote]First of all, what I'm trying to say is Lagos state is the only state where a non indigene is appointed as a commissioner or to hold any other political office; it's been happening for some time now. No matter how minimal, Lagos state will always have an outsider in its cabinet and that's what you'll never see anywhere. About Tinubu's nativity, do you think he just found that out when he was already the governor?

He didn't have more outsiders in his cabinet because he traced his roots back to Iragbiji, Osun state(which the king of Iragbiji denied), he did because of the fact that he believed some non indigenes could do the job. Two of his cabinet members who contested in the last elections are, Aregbesola(Osun guber candidate) and Fayemi(Ekiti guber candidate).  Tinubu might not be a lagosian really but he is an ardent lagosian at heart. Do you know what position her mom holds in Lagos state?

About the marriage thing, yes, it's most common among Yoruba. That's because families are always getting their dirty noses in people's business. They won't let you be. Yoruba has a character which I detest very much; they don't look out for the best in your wife, they look for her flaws so they'd attack from there. Thyey like their sons to marry who they(the family) can control and tell what to do. They always set their eyes on his assets. If the man doesn't want to get married to another woman, they can make him(there are voodoos).

[quote author=tpiah* link=topic=297077.msg4343300#msg4343300 date=1250142692]isnt Fashola himself a Lagos indigene? likewise most of his cabinet  


thus your statement is null and void grin

If I'm reading you wrong then ignore the post.[/quote]All his cabinets aren't lagosians. Two of them are igbo. Some are from Ekiti and Ogun and most of them from Ekiti. Tinubu's cabinet had more non lagosians as members. So Miss, you read wrongly. [quote author=tpiah* link=topic=297077.msg4343335#msg4343335 date=1250143687]anything else on Yoruba culture or Osun state?

Everyone seems to have run out of relevant stuff to post, hence the toasting all through the thread.

I myself am short of topics and questions.

The only other thing that hasnt been discussed is Yoruba religion eg Ifa, but most people know about that anyway.

Polygamy too- why is it so deeply entrenched among Yorubas. Is this a side effect of the neo-Arabic culture commonly found in Africa.[/quote]Polygamy in Yoruba land came into existence, as one elderly man once told me, when fathers had big farms(cocoa and kolanut farms) and they'd need a lot of people to work on them. In a bid to amass their wealth, they get married to more wives and have more kids just so there'd be increase in the work force on their farms. That's the only reason I know about. That was why back in the day, the rich ones had more wives and more children.

But contemporarily, I think it borders more on the fact that some people are used to having many wives, or some are pressured into marrying another wife probably because the current can't give birth to a particular gender(male especially).
Some think they've arrived wealth and fame hence, need new wives. Kings get married to as many wives as they can because they can without being questioned.

I for one, would ask that the threads remain locked and bolted and left to rot in nairaland's threadlist hell! Those threads were setup with one mission in mind: Destroy whitelexi - tell lies against him, bash him, drive him away from NL! cos quite frankly, a brother's candid opinions were offensive to a sample of the female population [including male biatches] who felt he was way too blunt about his opinions and ideas. But i will not leave nl, i derive some level of entertainment from it while doing an incredibly boring job grin grin grin

I respect your individual views and opinions about my character, but whitelexi was setup to be controvertial, that is my online identity and i use it how i please - if u dont like the way i post, i implore u to avoid me and i will do same. I will admit to what i've done, but lies told against whitelexi are lies told against me, and i will use everything at my disposal to prove that i'm innocent in such areas. Unfortunately, i understand i will be banned for posting such material and that is not what i want.
I get where you're coming from homie. If you meant by comment above, I wasn't trying to cast aspersions on you. I just used that as an instance that had the romantic dispute thread still is in existence, that thread about you wouldn't have come up in the first place. It was a mere issue you both could have handled maturely but still don't understand why y'all both went that far at fuzzing your images. I mean no disrespect homie.
