Kingship na scam

Yeah Na scam everywhere in Nigeria except in ijebuland

Bluntemperor:
How do you mean?
Wasiu - KWAM1 -too has paid his Price in the Music Industry and as an Ambassador of Music and Youths in Global Arena. and that is a FACT.
His closeness to President Tinubu can be an advantage and disadvantage as well, depending on the Angle you are viewing it from 🪞!
I wish him well,as I don't think his drama at the Airport Few months ago is sufficient ground for disqualification,
FOR his Popularity Across the Globe -Should Be A Big Boost to Awujale Throne,
and let us Not forget those who Are Envious of him!

As an ijebu person from Lagos State. I would say his popularity in music has no relevance to the sacred seat of awujale.
This is not a Lagos Island throne that thrives on 90% politics.
His closeness to Tinubu is a disadvantage, last I check Tinubu is not an ijebu man and has done little or nothing to promote ijebu in Lagos.
So that doesn't count at all. We would want an ijebu for ijebu thing. Not politically influenced arrogant fellow.. they'll better pick someone who is more sacred in his beliefs and ways of doing things. Or chose whoever IFA granted

ishowdotgmail:
I wish him the very best. Nothing is impossible with the present president being his political father.

The royal stool is now what can be bought with influence and money, no more consultation from the IFA oracle.

Ijebu people will have the most arrogant king in the history of Ijebu land

The spirit of our ancestors will not allow that to happen.

I pray ahead for Ijebu-Ode people. Boda onigberaga, Olorun oje.

The seat of awujale is not only ijebu ode people's concern. It's a general ijebu concern

safarifarms:
Masquerades are typically criminals. They use the cover of the mask to commit crimes. Most common are stealing, harassment, armed robbery. A friend has been robbed of his phone and all the money in his pockets. The masquerade actually checked his pockets to ensure he has emptied them. This was done with a machete as weapon. Several years ago, while on a bike one had threatened to cut my leg with a machete if I didn't drop something for them. I dropped N200 for them to be able to continue my journey. I support their ban. They are nuisance to society. I have lots I can share about their atrocities but these ones should do for now

Masquerades are not criminals, maybe the few you met

madridguy:
Ghanaian should accept the fact that they will be forever behind Nigeria in entertainment and everything.

Bro you don't need to brag, it's needless. I watch more American movies than Nigerian movies and Americans watch more of American movies.

I mean... This is supposed to mean something to hundreds of women and kids maimed, killed, and abused by terrorists?!!

Kobojunkie:
Do you know what feminism is?

Just answer madam, no ask me question immediately. You can answer and still ask at the same time.

Kobojunkie:
Splitting of bills is not cultural. It is a new phenomenon that is more obtainable in western climes and practiced by those who ascribe to those particular ideas.

The norm remains that the man pay for the date. Next time ask the lady if she is open to splitting bills if that is what you want.

Is feminism cultural?

Ttalk:
This is way to go. Let the region prepare itself for the disintegration that will eventually come.

The disproportionate in ideology, believe, religion, way of life are too obvious to think we can grow being a united country.

If we continue this way, in 20 years it will be only the north that will have the population to win presidential election in Nigeria. The way those guys marry and give birth is scary.
The highest contribution of the north apart from insecurity is procreation.

However the Southern leaders need to do more, the people should begin to ask them what they are doing with security votes, the increased in allocation, it is not enough to hide under bad Nigeria to become lazy.
The people of Ogun state should call Dapo Abiodun to fix roads across his state. The Sango Ota axis is an eyesore.

Now you're talking.
Just imagine your grandchildren start complaining of NEPA light or bandits.
We can't remain stagnant because of one Nigeria.
Let's go our separate ways and build fences around our borders, mounting surveillance everywhere to catch illegal migrants

That's you on your profile? Not looking bad.

pinkyruledworld:
Personally, I feel why the Remo folks may have "identified" as Ijebu's are;
❌ The British merging us together
2. The Ijebus's seems to have been strong politically and culturally. It would have been easy to go with the flow. Despite being from Remo, I have heard the names Awujale and Alake of Egba more than Akarigbo while growing up.
3. No awareness, our parents keeps passing down the identities from bloodline to bloodline.

The funny thing is, the topic of Remo not been part of Ijebu has in existence as far back but no one is really interested in it. Its only getting popular because of the "Ijebu's" wanting to get a state and capital.

The British did not merge anything. Ijebu kingdom was purely ijebuland.
The British best interest was to break the awujale power.
Akarigbo is a lower class oba in real sense compared to alake and awujale.
So you think Remo people were not part of the magbon war?! Lol.
You're coming as a new Ager Remo person but you can say things you want to say but the truth is, there's no historical backing to it and the only historical difference is akarigbo trying to revolt against awujale, not identifying as ijebu so the seat of akarigbo won't be covered by the dominant awujale seat.
But that's joke, we in Epe know our paramount ruler is awujale.
Awujale territory comprises of all landed area belonging to the ijebu kingdom that existed before the British started the Nigeria project.
Epe, Ikorodu, Lekki, Remo, all ijebu axis down to the borders of Ondo State.
That is why he his called awujale of ijebuland not awujale of ijebu-ode.

pinkyruledworld:
Good day sir.
I do not know whether to agree or disagree with you when you said we are trying to rewrite history due to political history but I would mention a few things.

So what the British killed Ijebu warriors? Are you aware that (according to information out there) it was the same British that coined the term "Ijebu-Remo" for administrative convenience and it's based on ignorance of the separate identities of the Ijebu and Remo people. The British administration merged the two separate regions for administrative purposes, creating the combined term.

Secondly, I never mentioned anything about a rift between Akarigbo and Awujale and I do not know where that's coming from.

You said, you can't call a place person Remo but you can call a person Ijebu Remo? Who told you that? You can call anybody anything, its about acceptance and adaptability.

I totally understand that you may have met with people who identify as Ijebu or Ijebu-Remo who are strictly Remo. In fact, lots of us identify as that because we do not know whats up, we just lived the way we were raised. We basically accepted that Ijebu stamp as we didn't see anything wrong with it.
That narrative is changing now, not just to the Remo folks but to other tribes in Nigeria.

I am very sure that if you have a conversation with that your friend now, he would definitely have a different thing to say about this topic.

You would also agree with me that when you were younger, a Nigerian would either be a Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo (except if you are from a certain minority tribe). We didn't care if they were Fulani, Ebira, Tiv, Esan, Benin. You would automatically give them an Igbo stamp if they said they weren't Yoruba or Hausa (even if they were Edo)

For years, if you watched OGTV, they have always shown Ogun State to be divided into 4. Remo, Ijebu, Yewa and Egba. It has been there.

The narrative changing is the disorder happening.
Kessington adebutu is not identifying as an ijebu man because of the British.
Awolowo is not identifying as an ijebu man because of the British.
The British did not coined the word "ijebu-remo"
It's a normal thing for people who believe they're ijebu to call themselves that way and it is left for powers that be to use it to identify them.
For instance Epe is actually ijebu. The way I see old people in remo call themselves ijebu is the way ijebu people refer to Epe as ijebu.
But the government chose Epe as an Identity.
I would say im from Epe or say I'm ijebu-Epe attimes.
These are normal way ijebu people fondly identify themselves.
Even knowledgeable historian from nairaland tao11 if she's still current on this forum knows the rift originated from akarigbo vs awujale.
You're not providing enough evidence to back your claim. Those old people are not taught to accept ijebu identify by the British, they learnt their identity from their parents.
What you're saying now is politics.

pinkyruledworld:
That's correct. The Awujale is the paramount ruler of Ijebu while Akarigbo is the paramount ruler of Remo. The British turned everything upside down.

On what axis of ogun state was merchant passing through that warrant paying tax to awujale?

billynoni:
Remo will stop to separate the day, Ojude Oba is performed at Sagamu or Ikenne.

Trash, Because ojude oba is not hosted on done in remo means they're not ijebu? why not focus on your village matters instead or your personal matters

AlphaTaikun:
@pinkyruledworld

Succinctly stated.

A lot of folks have ALWAYS lumped the Ijebus and Remos together thinking that Chief Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN is an Ijebu man. Professor 'Yemi Osinbajo too is a Remo from Ikenne. The British Colonialists had a notorious habit of promoting some people they favored over others. This is how the foreign Fulas (whose ancestors are from North African Berber paternal ancestry) were propped up and we're allowed by the British to lord it over other Indigenous Nigerian ethnic groups for administrative and tax collection purposes. The result of this British Colonialist action is what is manifesting today as foreign Fula militia bandit's attacks on several communities in the North West, North Central, and Southern parts of Nigeria.

The same thing happened in Calabar with 3 ethnic groups of Kwa, Efut, and the minority Efik as indigenes BUT the British Colonialists promoted the Efiks (who migrated last within the last 300 years into the Calabar area from modern Akwa Ibom) over the others. Today, a lot of people WRONGLY refer to everyone from Calabar as an Efik which the Efuts and the Kwas strongly debunked in a paid newspaper advertorial. Infact, the land area the Efiks occupy in Calabar is the SMALLEST of the 3 ethnic groups! There's a lot of historical miseducation going on partly caused by the British Colonialists and that has to change URGENTLY.

Your post indeed provides even more CLARITY here for everyone. Until a few years ago, I too used to think that Remo was a part of the larger Ijebu folks until I saw a FULL-page newspaper advertorial placed by a prominent Remo socio-cultural group back in the early 2000s discussing about the creation of Ijebu State and the Remos CLEARLY stated that though they are Yoruba BUT are a different subgroup from the Ijebus.

I read somewhere that Ikorodu LGA in Lagos State is also Remo but I've always thought they are Ijebus just like Epe LGA, Ibeju-Lekki LGA, and Ajah.

As a Remo person, can you further clarify if Ikorodu in Lagos State is part of Remoland or Ijebuland? There's a sort of an overlap or intertwining of these two great Yoruba subgroups in Ogun East.

Second, is there a way to distinguish between Remo names and Ijebu names? This is aside from the FACT that Akarigbo is the paramount ruler of Remoland and the Awujale is the paramount ruler of Ijebuland.

I look forward to your feedback.

I think it is quite unfortunate that we try to rewrite history because of some political differences. And forget the fact that we were supposed to put aside our political differences.
For the fact that you said the British! lol. You mean the British that killed several Ijebu warriors and forced Awujale to sign a treaty?
I just hope you're not bringing a narrative of the British favoring the Ijebus.
The Ijebus are master craft of whatever they engage on and don't need favoritism of such. The British killed hundreds of thousand of Ijebu warriors during the Magbon war, during the time trade across Lagos - Ibadan express way were to pay tax to Awujale and there was no contemplation wether Remo axis where the route is, was Ijebu or not Ijebu.
The political rift between akarigbo and awujale has nothing to do with the remo people who all through history identify as ijebu.
Ijebu is the people and Remo is a Place.
You can't call a person Remo but you can a person Ijebu, you can call a person ijebu-remo. Its just like calling Ijebu who are native to Lagos ijebu-eko as a compound name is stead of saying Epe and Ibeju.


Through out my time at shagamu, iperu, isara, ode, ikene, ipara i have never for once seen one person refer to himself or herself as not an ijebu person.
My good friend a native of isara then will tell me she is Ijebu- isara to differentiate herself from Ode, and Ipara. Awolowo throughout his life time was referred to as Ijebu man and never complained. Kessington adebutu popular known as baba Ijebu has never rejected his Ijebu identity, it's online warriors from Ilu-Oke that are trying to rewrite Ijebu history.
Leave the political tussle of Akarigbo and Awujale out of the people's identity because all Ijebu are united and one big family.

This should not stop at press release. It should be followed with arrests, thorough investigation and prosecution.

The NSA and police should track those who pushed the fake news into the media.

It is fake news yet has made it to the Frontpage of Nairaland and some media platforms. It's very easy to track. A criminal, not a ghost, created the fake news and pushed it into the media with conniving unpatriotic elements.

I recall a time such fake news was eventually traced to a Vanguard newspaper staffer. There was no strong Cybercrimes laws then but now our Cybercrimes law has been strengthened and should be further tightened to nip the misinformation warfare in the bud.

You need to do more on asking the government to take responsibilities.
You seem to lost your voice where condemnation is needed.
That is another type of evil
