Politics › Re: Buhari Has Not Failed Nigerians, Says Presidency by tomakint: 7:46pm On May 23, 2017
I would have place a perpetual curse on who said this but I think it over that's no use because Nigerian especially the blind youths deserve the bastards who rule over them. Bunch of blood suckers with no human feelings. Buhari is not only a failure but a demonic personality with no sense of direction
Himself and his lots shall not know peace all their lives as many that are destroying this Country too shall not know peace. I can't believe I just cursed these worthless liars and bastards.

Vorpal:
If you see the 3d drawing of that bridge, you will understand why it will cost so much. Plus I think it will be the longer than 3rd mainland.

Let's not forget the value of the naira in the scheme of things. That amount is roughly a little over 2billion dollars. Yet we had a case of unremitted 10 billion dollar oil money or more.
Stop defending bullshiit, just in 2011, a 26.4 miles bridge built across a large body of water was completed at a cost of $1.2 billion in China under 4 years (2008-2011) so what are you saying? Defending corruption again? 3d my foot. $2 billion should give us 50 miles long bridge and not this mumu 36 kilometre bullshiit

Why only 7 months extension.
Fayose shud as well approach the Supreme Court to grant him a full 4yrs to complete his truncated first tenure!
Whenever I see d likes of Fayose,fmr president GEJ, holding office in 21st century Nigeria,i sometimes tend to agree with those that say that Nigeria as presently structured is doomed.
If each region is allowed to develop on its own,as it was during d first republic or so,i bet by d time a state such as Ekiti sees how far other regions and Co states av left it backward,even before an election,they wud chase out d likes of Fayose from office with stones,sticks and cudgels!
Unfortunately you don't feel somehow when an Islamic fundamentalist as Buhari who lacks the knowledge of good governance is your President. I feel like vomiting on your likes

Who is this? How old are you? Was Daniel part of the ruling class terrorizing Babylonians with wicked policies? Was Daniel found whining and dining with human demons the way osinbajo is with Tinubu and other terrible beings? I have a lot to go on with but let me stop and ask you boy, what is the basis for this baseless comparison of the great Daniel with Osinbajo?

Most people don't understand how big a billion is...Poverty has blinded the minds of most Nigerians....

Do you know if you spend 30k everyday for 90years, it would still not get to 1billion?

Be here ranting online, while only a select few are choping our money..Be here ranting...don't take action. Don't protest..don't shut down the streets of Lagos and Abuja..don't demand for your write...keep waiting for 2face and 3face to lead the protest for you...
In 10years time, your poor children would ask you!

Stupid and utterly useless youths.
My dear brother, God bless you real good this is just my thought. Too many foolish youths in this Country. Did you know that if we assume a 30-day for each month that 30k spent daily for 90 years will end up at N972, 000, 000 (nine hundred and seventy two million naira) yet bastard politicians are stealing billions daily. What a country of jesters.

Nobody will be spared.

People like you will always make the whites to laugh perpetually at blacks. He is an Oba, hence an authority in that field he is discussing. You should know by now that there are many angles to history the Oba just stated the obvious to those of us that know. Who are you?

Culture › Why Lagos Does Not Belong To Yorubas – Oba Akiolu by tomakint(op): 12:28pm On May 06, 2017
By Seun Opejobi on May 3, 2017

The Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has claimed that Lagos State is not part of Yoruba land.

Akiolu’s statement is coming barely a week after he publicly humiliated the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi at an event.


In a statement from Akiolu’s palace, the monarch traced the historical background of the state and why it should not be regarded as part of Yoruba land.

The statement reads: “Coming from the palace, with what I was told by my late paternal grandmother who is a descendant of Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi and also reading from factual Historical books, let me share this Knowledge with you all on Eko/Lagos.

“Modern day Lagos was founded by Prince Ado, the son of the Oba of Benin, Prince Ado was the first Oba of Lagos, the son of the Bini King, Prince Ado, named the town Eko until the Portuguese explorer Ruy de Segueira changed the Maritime town to Lagos, which at that time from 1942 was Portuguese expedition center down the African Coast.


“It was a major centre of the slave trade until 1851. Lagos was annexed by Britain via the Lagos treaty of cession in 1861, ending the consular period and starting the British Colonial Period. The remainder of modern day Nigeria was seized in 1886 when the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established in 1914 Lagos was declared its capital due to the struggle of the Bini King.

“Lagos experienced growth prior to the British Colonial rule and even more rapid growth during the Colonial rule throughout the 1960s, 70s, continued through the 80s and 90s till date. Thanks to the Awori’s, Bini’s, Yoruba’s, migrants across the nation and world at large, as no particular group of people can take the glory alone.

“Lagos is made up of Lagoons and creeks. The Lagos lagoon, Lagos Harbour, five cowne creeks, Ebute-Metta creeks, Porto-Novo creeks, New canal, Badagry creeks, Kuramo waters and Light house creeks.


“The Awori’s and Bini’s are known to be the first settlers of the Eko land. The Awori’s are speakers of a distinct dialect close to that of the Yoruba language with a rich Bini mixture. Traditionally, Awori’s were found in Ile-Ife, they were known to be the Bini’s who followed their self-exiled Prince, the first son of the Ogiso (now called Oba) of Benin Kingdom, whose step-mother was after his head.

“The exiled Benin Prince Izoduwa known to the Yorubas as Ooduwa (Oduduwa) was made ruler of the Ife people due to his powers and followers from the Great Benin-Kingdom.

“Izoduwa (Ooduwa) was made the first King of Ile-Ife in 1230 AD. His followers from his father’s Kingdom in Benin are the today’s Awori people who settled in Eko now called Lagos.

“In the 1300, the King of Benin-Empire heard from one of his traders who was a settler in Eko on how the Bini’s were treated by the Awori’s who lived in their area. Upon hearing this, the King of Benin commanded the assembling of a war expedition, led by his son, Prince Ado, which headed the settlement of the Awori’s and demanded explanation.

“On arriving Eko, Prince Ado and his Army were more than received. The Aworis asked the Bini Prince to stay and become their leader. Ado agreed on the condition that they surrender their sovereignty to the Oba of Benin, to which the people agreed. Hearing this, the King of Benin gave his permission for Prince Ado and the expedition to remain in Eko.

“The Oba of Benin sent some of his chiefs including the Eletu, Odibo, Obanikoro and others to assist his son, Oba Ado in the running of Eko.

“From the crowing of Prince Ado as the first Oba of Lagos (then called Eko), Lagos served as a major center for slave trade from which the Aworis, the Oba of Benin and his son the Oba of Lagos and all the children/descendants who took over as his successors for over four centuries supported the trade.

“The Oba of Benin was the head of the Benin Empire which are the present day Western, Southern and Eastern modern day Nigeria. The King never obliged anyone to speak the Bini language as he believed everyone was entitled to their own choice of language.

“The name Eko was given to it by the first king of Lagos, Oba Ado, the young and vibrant Prince from Benin. Eko was the land now known as Lagos Island, where the king palace was built.

“The palace is called Idugaran meaning “palace built on pepper farm” Oba Ado and the warriors from Benin together with the early Bini’s settlers in Eko and the Awori people settled in the southern part of Eko called “Isale Eko”. “Isale literally means bottom “. Must have been used to indicate downtown (as in down town Lagos)

“Until the coming in of the Benin’s 1300AD , Lagos geographical boundary was Lagos mainland, Lagos Island, the seat of the Oba of Lagos then consisted of a pepper farm and fishing post. No one was living there.

“About 1450 AD some Yorubas who hailed from Isheri in Ogun-state and Ekiti were allowed by the King to settle in Eko during a war, they came in a very large numbers thereby surpassing the numbers of the Awori’s and Bini’s. (Hence Yorubas claim to own Eko due to their numbers).

“Oba Ado fell in love with a beautiful woman whose father was Awori and mother a daughter to one of the chief; they had two sons and also a daughter Erelu Kuti, who begot Ologun Kutere who later became a King.
