Gwaihir:
Please stop yapping like an illiterate.

Ijebu impeding Ibadan from trade and yet they need to ally with the Brits? Who really then was the trade starving Ibadan or the Brits? And if there were so invincible as you claim, why did they need to ally with the Brits?

Now let me tell you about facts, before the Brits, there was the Ekiti war that had Awujale Fidipote to send Balogun Onafowokan to wage war in Ibadan. That particular king was vehemently against the order of things then and wanted what was rightly due to him on his own land. That was how the Kuku name came into prominence. Ijebus were the first to start using arms which gave them an advantage over the rest of Yoruba land which saw even the Ooni send an emissary to Awujale Fusngbuwa when the Owu were pummeling the Ife, not Ibadan that you claim had a stronger military might. It was the Ijebus that help finish off the Owus which is why they are in that part of Ogun state today. The Ooni was about to lose his kingdom and it was the Awujale of that time that made Ifes not to tell sorry tales about what could have befallen their forefathers in time past.

To add to it, it was Balogun Kuku who sold arms to Ibadan and it was his turncoat that saved Ibadan from being pummeled further. It is all in history, please go and read up.

It may interest you to know, Ijebu was immuned through out the various wars that plagued Yorubaland not until the British came. Not Ibadan that was assaulted by the Alaafin and became what it is by the combined efforts of Ijebu,Owu,Egba warriors for it to stand as what it is today. There is even a district in Ibadan that belongs to the Ijebus as a result of the wars and you say they were invincible? Show me a place in Ijebu where any other tribe holds a district in it.

I have the links if you want.

Ijebu ' ilu to ajeji ki nwo' the land strangers are not allowed.

i should upload my pics right?

you have access to over a billion photos just by checking facebook and saving any picture of your choice. At this junction, i find you totally unreasonable and not worthy of my time. I live in Dubai, so go and inform the state CID that you have clue and since the culprit ran away with millions like you said, they will come over and legally pursue your claims.

other than that, you have only and will only keep showing your illiteracy in handling issues.

i am not in anyway connected to the travelling agent you are claiming and i joined this thread simply for study in Estonia.
i am not involved in any other thread.
i have been speaking with some people and assisted them in gathering documents without any financial transactions involved.

but to be honest with you, coming out to accuse me without any background check is totally preposterous.

I AM NOT FEMMIRATES TRAVELS AND I AM NOT IN ANYWAY CONNECTED TO ANY FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES.
I WASNT EVEN STAYING IN LAGOS FOR THAT MATTER.

Saudi Arabia has unveiled pay cuts for government employees for the first time, as it attempts to further rein in spending at a time of low oil prices.
A royal decree said ministers' salaries would be reduced by 20%, and housing and car allowances for members of the advisory Shura Council cut by 15%.
Lower-ranking civil servants will see wage increases suspended, and overtime payments and annual leave capped.
About two-thirds of working Saudis are employed in the public sector.
Their salaries and allowances accounted for 45% of government spending in 2015, or $128bn (£99bn), and contributed to a record budget deficit of $98bn.

The "Vision 2030" initiative aims to cut the public sector payroll to 40% of the budget by the start of the next decade and boost private sector employment.
The government also cut the generous subsidies for petrol and utilities in December, but complaints prompted Prince Mohammed to sack the water and electricity minister six months later.
Some Saudis took to social media to express their support the cuts announced on Monday, using the Twitter hashtag "We are the children of King Salman".
But others lamented what they remembered as better days under the late King Abdullah, who responded to the Arab Spring in 2011 by launching a $130bn plan to raise public sector salaries, build subsidised housing and provide benefits to the unemployed.
The hashtag "stop allowances for princes" also trended among Saudi Twitter users. "If there is hardship, we should all share the cost," wrote @oamaz7.

UK doctors in Sheffield say patients with multiple
sclerosis (MS) are showing "remarkable"
improvements after receiving a treatment
usually used for cancer.
About 20 patients have received bone marrow
transplants using their own stem cells. Some patients who were paralysed have been able to walk again.
Prof Basil Sharrack, of Sheffield's Royal Hallamshire
Hospital, said: "To have a treatment which can
potentially reverse disability is really a major
achievement."
Around 100,000 people in the UK have MS, an
incurable neurological condition. Most patients are
diagnosed in their 20s and 30s. The disease causes the immune system to attack the lining of nerves in the brain and spinal cord.
Immune system 'rebooted'
The treatment - known as an autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) - aims to destroy the faulty immune system using
chemotherapy. It is then rebuilt with stem cells harvested from the patient's own blood. These cells are at such an early stage they've not developed the flaws that trigger MS.
Prof John Snowden, consultant haematologist at
Royal Hallamshire Hospital, said: "The immune
system is being reset or rebooted back to a time
point before it caused MS."
About 20 MS patients have been treated in Sheffield
in the past three years. Prof Snowden added: "It's
clear we have made a big impact on patients' lives,
which is gratifying."
Multiple sclerosis
In MS the protective layer surrounding nerve fibres
in the brain and spinal cord - known as myelin -
becomes damaged. The immune system mistakenly
attacks the myelin, causing scarring or sclerosis.
The damaged myelin disrupts the nerve signals -
rather like the short circuit caused by a frayed
electrical cable. If the process of inflammation and
scarring is not treated then eventually the condition
can cause permanent neurodegeneration.
The BBC's Panorama programme was given
exclusive access to several patients who have
undergone the stem cell transplant.
Steven Storey was diagnosed with MS in 2013 and,
within a year, went from being an able-bodied athlete
to needing a wheelchair and losing sensation in
much of his body.
He said: "I went from running marathons to needing
24-hour acute care. At one point I couldn't even hold
a spoon and feed myself."
Within a few days of the transplant he was able to
move his toes, and after four months he could stand
unaided.
Steven still needs a wheelchair but is astounded at
his progress: "It's been incredible. I was in a dire
place, but now I can swim and cycle and I am
determined to walk."
Holly Drewry was just 21 when she was diagnosed
with MS and her condition deteriorated after she
gave birth to her daughter Isla.
She said "Within a couple of months I got worse and
worse. I couldn't dress or wash myself; I didn't even
have the strength to carry my daughter."
Holly needed a wheelchair before her transplant, but
after the treatment she walked out of hospital.
She said: "It's been a miracle. I got my life and my
independence back and the future is bright again in
terms of being a mum and doing everything with
Isla."
Two years on she has suffered no relapses and there
is no evidence of active disease on her scans.
Doctors describe her MS as dormant, but there is
hope that the transplant might be a permanent fix.
Cost-effective
The Royal Hallamshire Hospital - together with
hospitals in the United States, Sweden and Brazil - is
part of an international trial, MIST, which is assessing
the long-term benefits of the stem cell transplant.
All those on the trial have relapsing remitting MS,
where patients experience attacks - or relapses -
followed by periods of remission.
The treatment involves intensive chemotherapy, so
patients are warned that there are side-effects such
as nausea and hair loss.
Paul Kirkham, another MS patient, said he was glad
to have had the transplant but added: "It does knock
you. I'd rather have done 10 rounds with Mike
Tyson."
The transplant involves a one-off cost of around
£30,000, which is comparable to the yearly cost of
some MS treatments.
Because the procedure involves no new drugs and
instead re-purposes an existing therapy using the
patient's own cells, there is little profit incentive for
drug companies to get involved.
Prof Richard Burt, Northwestern University, Chicago
carried out the first HSCT for MS as long ago as 1995
and is coordinating the international trial which
began in 2006.
He said: "There has been resistance to this in the
pharma and academic world. This is not a technology
you can patent and we have achieved this without
industry backing."
A study published last year involving MS patients in
Chicago showed significant reductions in
neurological disability, and for some the
improvements persisted for at least four years,
although there was no comparative control group.
The outcome of the more detailed MIST trial - which
will report in a couple of years - could determine
whether the stem cell transplant becomes a standard
NHS treatment for many MS patients.
Dr Emma Gray, head of clinical trials at UK's MS
Society , said: "Ongoing research suggests stem cell
treatments such as HSCT could offer hope, and it's
clear that in the cases highlighted by Panorama
they've had a life-changing impact.
"However, trials have found that while HSCT may be
able to stabilise or improve disability in some people
with MS it may not be effective for all types of the
condition."
Dr Gray said people should be aware it was an
"aggressive treatment that comes with significant
risks", but called for more research into HSCT so
there could be greater understanding of its safety
and long term effectiveness.
