Ooni Ogunwusi insisted he would continue to hold Oba of Lagos in high esteem and continually give him respect not only as one of the foremost traditional rulers, but also as an elderly Oba.

Ooni Ogunwusi doesn't seem to understand the significance of the seat he is occupying.

He doesn't know he is now a deity and older than everyone of any age

These our modern Kings should be sincerely and seriously taught the culture before being coronated.

Before one knows, one starts seeing this nonsense pose trending among the guys!
Craze world!

They don't have to be Physical neighbors but neighbors who can influence. See the amount of technology developed during the Ww1 and Ww2. All the countries that directly participated learnt a lot of technology from each other.

I am not promoting war o. But people learn more in times of hardship involving life and death

But Ethiopia also fought Italians in second italo-abyssinian war in one of the series of events leading to the second world war.
How come Ethiopia has learnt something similar to nothing?

shadeyinka:
USA had to fight a war of independence with Britain.

But Britain isn't US neighbor sir.

Nukilia:
@ Tolex, nice having you quote my comment. The people are not dumber like you stated, they've just been psychologically battered and the leaders have mastered the art of deception and public manipulation.

it's a pleasure tapping from your wisdom sir!

Almost every European country was at a time being ruled by King/Queen, Emperor/Empress, Czar/Czarina et al. Revolution liberated them from these absolute powers. Though the revolutions came in different form and different times.

We all have the power to replace the leaders, many times the replacement is always worse than the replaced. There were times successful coups were plotted in Africa against the leaders, the coup plotters most times become worse than their predecessors after getting to the the throne.

The followers in the Democracy practicing country have allowed their leaders to rule them through various means of manipulations; "divide and rule", cash, tribalism, religious sentiment et al. Only fools can be manipulated by those means.

Only a bull can be lead to the slab to be butchered due to its stupidity by the butcher, no butcher dears leading a buffalo to a slab like a bull

Instead make dem donate constant electricity.

If there is electricity, the will be functioning fan to blow away all mosquitoes. Moreover, there will be no need to open the windows and doors to receive air since fans and ACs are functioning.

Nukilia:
None of the above is limiting us!

We are just blessed with dumb leaders who do not see any reason why they should invest in science and technology.

Lie!

If the leaders are dumb, the followers are "dumber".

We all have the power to choose who we want to lead us and how we should be lead. You must fight for your freedom to be totally free.

The "third estate" of the French revolution and the "tennis court oats" comes to mind.

3. Lack of Competition from Neigbours
When your neighbors are no better than you, you relax. If Cameroon acquires a Submarine today, I can bet it with you that within 18 months, Nigeria will acquire her own.

USA is better than Mexico and Canada, but these two latter countries are relaxing. How come?

Or better rephrased, Mexico and Canada aren't competing with the US, how come US isn't relaxing?

quoting Otto Von Bismarck: " The Americans are truly a lucky people. They are bordered to the north and south by weak neighbors and to the east and west by fish".

Have you noticed that most countries with snow are developed?

If it is by snow, Antarctica should be the most developed continent!

And Australia continent won't experience any development at all cos that is the only continent with no snow cover or glacier.

Gov Ahmed and Constituted Authorities(Ajimobi and Aregbesola)!

There is sometimes sense in nonsense!

Emekamex:
With proper irrigation, grasses can still be grown in sufficient amount in Sambisa to feed the cattles.

All it takes is good planning and strong will.

irrigation hasn't been properly done in nigeria to grow food crops for human, na cattle dem go con dey waste water resources for

goziedave:
On a serious note, we heard that the Sambisa Forest is wider
than Abia, Imo and Anambra States' land mass combined. If
that is the case, why worry about creating grazing lands in
the South and West? Why not focus on clearing Sambisa?
That will serve multiple purpose. First, Boko Haram Fighters
will no longer have a forest to hide hostages in or operate
from. Second, our herdsmen will have land for their cattle to
graze in. Third, all these bloody clashes between herdsmen
and farmers will stop.
Just thinking and wondering.
NOTE: Let's put our heads together on this. Don't use this as
an opportunity to abuse anybody or any tribe or even the
government. Let's just think together.

The herdsmen graze to the southern part of the country cos of the amount of rainfall received by the country monthly increases to the south as a result of the maritime wind of the South West wind blowing over the atlantic ocean to the land, The North East wind blowing across the Sahara desert and intertropical convergence zone.

This explains why the southern part of Nigeria experiences more rainfall than the northern part.
Sambisa forest experiences lower rainfall than most part of Nigeria. Sambisa forest has lesser grass.

Mynd44:
The most of it is a desert for a large part of the year. Most if the north actually which is why they move their cattle around in search of food

Sambisa isn't a desert but Sudan and Sahel Savannah!

AriGBESEsola of Osun State!

Dedetwo:
I am too young to go.

See this grandpa and the Methuselah of our time!
Tell us your age. No football age is allowed please!

Dedetwo:
You have qualified to be booted out of Internet. The above bolded does not make any intellectual sense. There is regionalism however there is nothing such as "true federalism". This crap, true federalism, is found in the catacombs created by "Free Education".

By the way, there is no Umudike in Ironis's name.

Pa Dede, you haven't gone to find a resting place in a graveyard in alaigbo!


You don't belong to this generation, you could have been more useful in the Pliocene era, so quit the internet and stop making us to have the feeling of alien invasion sir!

Untainted007:
We already know the ''Baale of Idumota (Akiolu)'' is dying of envy to the handsome, brilliant, well exposed and rich Oba of Ile Ife. I dare Akiolu to try that same act with Alaafin of Oyo or Soun of Ogbomosho, it's then I'll know he meant business.

Or Sijuade, Ooni Adewusi's predecessor, Oba Akiolu a sunkun ku ni (weep till he dies)

Inu mi, inu e ko
Epon mi, epon e ni!

Pe eeyan n sunkun ko ni pe ki o ma Rina (person dey weep no mean sey make e no see).

dieNL:
Ypu diabolical people ars so evilistic...was it ironsi who created states? Why didn't you evil people revoked the ironsi decree? You people are so diabolical Nd evilistic

stop barking!

Even maintaining the four regions under this Unitary system will be worse than the 36states we have now.

Ekweremadu has pitched his tent with Saraki and both running the upper chamber. He could have influenced Saraki to initiate the revocation.

Stop the misuse of the word diabolical!

paramakina202:
So we should get stuck in 1966 because of Aguiyi Ironsi's actions or inactions right?

and why should you rant and blame others since you are the cause of your own misfortune?

I'm so certain they can't harm him.

He has the linguistic and grammatical weapons to confront them.

All I could read in the piece is the calling of "marginalization of Igbo" as a result of the absence of true federalism in Nigeria.

The irony of the issue is that the regionalism, similar to true federalism, we were practising in the first republic was replaced with "decree 34" (Unitary System) by Major General Johnson Thomas Umudike Aguiyi Ironsi, an Igbo man.

“If I were Vincent Enyeama, I will stay away from the Super Eagles,” Taiwo said during a radio programme monitored in Lagos on Thursday.

“He has achieved everything with the team, so why coming back at this time.

shut up "Boda Taiye"

Enyeama hasn't achieved everything for Nigeria. Of course, he hasn't won the world cup with Nigeria.

Good!
May they all rest in peace

But it will be better if MUFC can change the name, Old Trafford, to Calabar where the tragedy occurred to honor the beloved fans.

Agreement for the friendly has been made but no venue yet!
O ga o!

Nice!

If the friendly match won't be cancelled like it has always been happening in the past!

FriendNG:
The suspected genociders are remanded in prison by justice Kudirat.

I won't be distracted by remaining rant you post. It is a matter of time before Justice prevail. You killed and still wanted to cry victim. Thank God we resisted the media hypocrisy and our resistance is yielding positive result.

if I may ask, What is coordinate of your existence?

Hope the monarch won't carry leg on her, snatching her from her husband!

FriendNG:
[s]Nice one. The genociders must prove beyond any reasonable doubt they are innocent otherwise they should receive the full wrath of the law.

When am voicing out against this evil through Nairaland. Some pple think am wasting my time. Your eyes done clear now! Jail the criminals.
[/s]

Who be genocider?

You cattle followers think what you do in Benue, Delta, Edo, Ekiti et al can be successfully done in Ife?

Well, let me just be mute and not say anything!

Kokoro ti o n jefo, inu efo lo n gbe!
