khafrahdante: And this is August already

bolaino: The last couple of months have been devastating for our fellow human beings in the middle east, with Isis killing people in Iraq and syria, families have been put in mourning, and lots of people have lost their lives, and with the recent massacre of over a thousand palestinian women and children a question comes to mind, from a religious perspective, I would like to ask my christian brothers and sisters, where they think the souls of the palestinians would go? Would the palestinians go to hell or heaven, given the fact that they did not believe in Jesus christ while alive, will the dead palestinians go to hell? I would like to hear your opinions,

Konmight: I think Tolexander was refering to landmass(from the map of Osun) when he said the two local govt in Ilesha are slightly bigger than Ife Central alone.

He's right, we all have the map of Osun State and from the map it's glaring Ilesha West and East are not too big.

But when you consider the Six Local Governments in Ijeshaland and the Four in Ifeland, you'll realize they(Ife and Ijesha) are almost the same size and most of the landmass are forest(very fertile land) that's begging for cultivation. I buy the idea of Aregbesola clearing forests for farmland and giving out to farmers(they may be APC members though).

Regarding the most populous between Ifeland and Ijeshaland, there's no way that could be ascertained not until credible population is conducted.

My parents were one of the Ijeshas that moved to Ife in 60s/70s due to economic edge Ile-Ife had over Ilesha then(OAU as a factor). Ijeshas like trading a lot, the market was moving in Ife then and people relocated to trade(Oshomaalo). There are more Ijeshas in Ife than Ifes in Ijeshaland.

@Topic........They are both controversial. I would have prefered another candidate but unfortunately they are the best out of the contenders so we either vote for AregbeRascal or vote OmiRascal. As for me, I'm confused and don't know whom to vote out of the two crooks.

I don't know the actual population of Osun State yet I believe not less than 55% of Osun residents are Muslims.

Religion is going to be a factor in the election.

I think OmiRascal shouldn't have used the line "I would return public schools to the missionaries if elected".

What would be the fate of the muslims when the public primary and secondary schools are given back to the original owners?

What's the assurance that the right to free education of muslim pupils would not be trampled upon by the churches?

The churches would renovate the schools to good taste no doubt but what about the muslims?

If they are stopped or discouraged from attending public schools, we shall have another BH/Almajiri problem in Osun and SW in another 15 to 20years.

I think Omisore shouldn't have used that line.

It's going to be an interesting election and I wish whoever emerges the best of luck.

I'm from Ilesha though born and raised in Ile-Ife. I'm a Christian(yet truth must be told).

Cheers.

PaulJohn1: Okay. I noticed your absence too.
Thanks for the link, I checked it and it confirms my assertion of Oshogbo being the most populatous town. Osogbo and Olorunda local governmnt areas are both in Osogbo, which are the first and third LGAs with the highest numbers of voters respectively, with a combined voters of over 180k.

Going by the stat in that link, Ife is second in population then.
Lastly, Ilesha has four LGAs and not two that you said. The whole of Ijesha has six LGAs.

Have a good day.

PaulJohn1: Please, post them bro.

PaulJohn1: Do a little research and you'll realise Ife is not close to being the second most populated. Remove the Population of the great OAU(of about 30-40k students) and you'll be left with reality.
Why do you think Ilesha was first considered to be the capital of the state during its creation in 1991?

It's simply because of the population advantage Ilesha had then over other towns in Osun. Although Ile-Ife was also considered, but it was solely because of the generally believed myth of the ancient town being the cradle of the Yorubas and also the home of one of the very few Grade one kings we have in the SW.

Both towns were then neglected because they were too extreme in location for a state capital. You'll remember that being located at the centre or close to was a prerequisite under Babagida regime(when the state was created) for selecting capitals. The reason given(by same Babagida) for moving the capital from Lagos to Abuja.

Osogbo was then selected for being the most populous town close to the center of the state, and also because of the already existing high level of commercial activities. It has (till date) a railway station that was used to transport cocoa seeds from Ondo, Ekiti and present Osun East(Ijesha land) to Lagos for exportation. Forget not that Ede is also a big town close to the center, but Osogbo was selected for its higher level of commercial activities.

Osogbo being the capital for 23 years now has gained enough population to beat Ilesha, which is normal for every state capital in Nigeria. Abuja had a population of less than a million when it was made the capital. Abuja of today is around 7m, this is just because it's the capital.

Using the numbers of LGA to determine population. 20LGAs are recognised in Lagos by the FG and 31LGAs for Osun. Does that translate to Osun having a higher population that Lagos?

Sincere9gerian: Haba! Kilode?

dguyindcorner: Are you that frustrated??

earthgreeners: Weep not child.. Pele... Stop crying

Brimmie: Seriously?? Coming from you bruh??

PaulJohn1: An insightful writeup.


Iwo is the largest in landmass, and not in population. Should be the 4th or 5th in population.

Ilesha was know to be the most populated, but presently the capital seems to have taken over.
1 & 2. Osogbo &/or Ilesha.
3. Ile-Ife(undisputed)
4 & 5. Ede &/or Iwo.

May the best man win.

Chubhie: Start with audio books on psychology- Create the right environment good music with a nice perfumed atmosphere and let your body relax and see your mind gyrate at the food you bout serving. We are all different and hence, no one absolute method of achieving such lovely mental romance with your soul. Albeit, psychology,philosophy will aid in your personal self discovery and what works with you then, apply it and reinvent your self. Above all, do it your way. Listen to MY WAY by Frank sintra.
