It is not about nzobu nzobu, politics is a game. The reality on ground for this present now is that president Tinubu will win 2027 general election (I'm not even talking about performance here, just the reality), things may change in the future.

They don't give presidency like it's your father's property. To win, you must play in the game and strategize.

Reality don't care about your emotions.

Some group of people from the other side of the river will cry blood over this news.

I wish I could keep loving the Alaafin as I used to before and during his coronation. The story of his selection is of fate, mercy, favor and grace but then after...

I hope he will make us proud... carry himself with grace... invest in leadership education... read books... surround himself with and take advice from wise men...

Before I read the new, I already know it's the ussual suspects.

CorrectionFLuid:
I don't support your 3 and 5 though.

Why are you not supporting 3 and 5. Explain to us so we can learn.

Just my musings to the FG.

1. Increase JAMB Frequency
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination should be conducted 2 to 3 times a year. This gives students multiple opportunities to succeed, reduces the pressure of a one-time exam, and aligns with global best practices.

2. Extend JAMB Result Validity
A JAMB result should be valid for at least 2 to 3 years. This will reduce the financial burden on families and give students more time to prepare for university admission processes.

3. Discourage Post-UTME Exams
Post-UTME exams should be phased out. Instead, JAMB should be strengthened to serve as a centralized, standardized, and credible assessment. Strict penalties should be enforced to curb exam malpractice.

4. Remove Limits on Institutional Applications
Students should be able to apply to as many institutions as they choose, just like in many developed countries. This allows for better matching between students and universities, increasing admission chances and reducing bottlenecks.

5. Revise University Grading System
The grading scale should be reviewed. For example, a score of 60% (not the common 70%) and above could be considered an “A”, encouraging realistic and fair academic expectations while promoting critical thinking over rote learning.

6. Link Lecturer Evaluation to Student Performance
Lecturers should be evaluated and promoted based on measurable student outcomes, teaching effectiveness, innovation, and feedback—not just academic publications. This will encourage better teaching and student support.

7. Integrate AI Across All Courses
Universities should incorporate Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies into all fields of study—medicine, agriculture, education, law, etc.—to better prepare students for the future workforce.

8. Record and Upload All Classes
All lectures should be recorded in video format and made available to students immediately after each class. This improves learning flexibility and helps students review complex topics at their own pace.

9. Government Grants for IT and Skill Development
The government should provide targeted grants and sponsorships to support IT skill acquisition for out-of-school youths and adult workers. This will boost national productivity and reduce unemployment.

10. Upgrade Curriculum for Relevance
Tertiary institutions should update their curriculum regularly to reflect current industry demands and global trends. Courses should prioritize hands-on experience, internships, and soft skills development.

11. Strengthen Student Support Services
Counseling, career guidance, mentorship, and mental health services should be made readily available in all institutions to support holistic student development.

12. Continuous and effective workers skill upgrade measures through online course and offline mediums.

Me think, these will help:

Personally, I wish I had not participated in the NYSC program.

The question we should ask is, are Ilorin people no longer northerners?

Some people sha want to use the backdoor quota system to become president by force.

The Slavery Mentality Hidden in Religion and Its Devastating Impact on the Nigerian Mind

Centuries after the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade, a more subtle and insidious form of slavery still exists—one deeply embedded in the minds of many Nigerians through the manipulation of religion. This mental slavery has gradually eroded our sense of identity, pride, and cultural heritage.

Through years of colonial indoctrination and religious miseducation, countless Nigerians have been conditioned to see their indigenous traditions, languages, and customs as evil, backward, or inferior. They have been taught to worship foreign ideals while despising their own roots. As a result, many now associate their culture with darkness, while blindly glorifying imported belief systems that once served as tools of oppression.

This mental programming is so deeply rooted that rational thinking is often suspended. Traditional festivals are condemned, native names are abandoned, and ancestral wisdom is mocked—all in the name of religion. But what many fail to realize is that a people disconnected from their heritage are easily manipulated and controlled.

It is time to unlearn the lies and reclaim our minds. Religion should uplift and liberate, not enslave. We must begin to question inherited doctrines that demonize our identity and reawaken the pride in who we are as Africans. Until we do, we remain prisoners in our own land—psychologically shackled by the remnants of a colonial past.

FG Plans ‘world Orisha Congress’ To Boost Spiritual Tourism

The Federal Government, through the National Institute for Cultural Orientation, has unveiled plans to establish the ‘World Orisha Congress’ to boost the nation’s economy through spiritual tourism.

The Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of NICO, Chief Abiodun Ajiboye, disclosed this during a news conference on Monday in Lagos.

Ajiboye said the congress was aimed at establishing a convergence for ‘Orisha’ devotees globally.

According to him, all over the world, spiritual outreach programmes that align with ancestral convergence have proven to be a huge revenue-generating venture with countries including Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt and India.

He said these countries had become great because their cultures formed the basis of their development.

“This groundbreaking initiative is going to be one of the global cultural festivals that will reposition Nigeria as a major tourism destination in the world.

“By exploring new opportunities in cultural and spiritual tourism that can generate over 10 billion dollars annually for the country in the next three years if planned well,” he said.

Ajiboye further said that Nigeria would collaborate with Brazil to curb unethical activities of people falsely representing the Yoruba traditional religion in Brazil.

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, expressed happiness over the recognition of the Yoruba Orisha tradition by the Federal Government.

The Ooni, who is also a member of the Board of Trustees of WOOCON, highlighted the enduring power of names, adding that the Yoruba cultural resilience had defied centuries of being misconstrued.

According to the traditional ruler, the Yorubas appreciate everything they do, as it is linked to the essence of living.

“Orisha translates to the essence of living, and nobody can survive without the elemental forces,” he said.

According to him, Orisha are common forces of nature with conscious and propelling energy that humans cannot live without.

The Ooni, however, decried the negative narrative and misconceptions, mainly based on people’s beliefs and virtues, that has demonised the Orisha tradition.

“Our culture, our religion and tradition are all based on nature.

“All forces of nature; energy behind water: behind fire; behind structure metal; behind protection; even the herbs and leaves we take,” he said.

Also, the Consul-General of Brazil in Nigeria, Manuel de Lacerda Santos, said the rich Afro-Brazilian culture is a connection that sets the foundations for a genuine partnership with Nigeria, based on mutual respect and cooperation.

Speaking of worship of Orisha by devotees in Brazil, Santos said they were considered ancestral spirits of natural forces, guardians of rivers, forests, storms and human spirit.

Santos stated, “Each Orisha has distinct attributes, personalities, colours, rhythms and dances.

“These Orishas are not only prayed to but celebrated with music, dance and ritual.

“They are honoured in ritual ceremonies with drumming, singing, food, offerings and traditional dress.

“Brazil embracing Orisha culture, doesn’t only celebrate religious diversity but also affirms the beauty and power of African heritage in shaping the soul of its nation.”

Speaking, Prof. Wole Soyinka, applauded the efforts of NICO to revive Orisha traditions.

Soyinka, who is a Global Patron of WOOCON, noted that Orisha was not born in Nigeria.

“Orisha and Nigeria cannot occupy the same level of consciousness, appreciation, depth and heritage.

“Orisha is far older than this artificial construct called Nigeria, or Ghana, or Togo. So let’s just say born in Yoruba land,” he said.

He also disclosed plans for the Heritage Voyage of Return project, an annual pilgrimage that would take off from Brazil.

The International Consultant for WOOCON, Mr Ajoyemi Osunleye, said the event was a spiritual awakening and cultural homecoming.

“We are here to unveil a movement that will rechart the course of our collective consciousness: the ‘World Orisa Congress’.

“It is a platform where the ancient wisdom of our ancestors will meet the curious minds of the modern world, in search of roots, truth, and divine connection,” he said.

According to Osunleye, nations are leveraging cultural heritage to invigorate their economies through tourism, heritage diplomacy and spiritual renewal.

He added that Nigeria should not be left behind.

He said the traditions rooted in the sacred groves of Osun, shrines in Ife and altars of Oyo are still alive in Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad, Haiti, United States, and beyond.

“The World Orisa Congress will gather them all in one global circle of connection, education, celebration and healing.

“The world will see that Africa is not a land of darkness but a fountain of divine light, knowledge and unmatched spiritual depth,” he said.

Yinmu.

Yoruba.

Some certain set of people will cry blood today for this news.

Even the name Itsekiri is a Yoruba word.


Notice here that these different groups are the one tracing their root to Yoruba land. From Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Brazil, Cuba, Haiti, Trinidad & Tobago, USA, Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico; they are the one returning to the Yoruba land, the place of their ancestors. Yoruba don't do the gumbody gumbody gumbody that the other group are doing.



_{The attached picture is for the goodnessme1 guy who wrote rubbish up there about the Awori people. The same Awori people that migrated from Ile-Ife, Osun state? Whose kings are a direct descendants of the Ooni of Ife?}

If I was the Alafin, I'll not even wait for the Ooni to reach me and meet me seated. I will meet the Ooni when still away from me, hug him and made him to wait with me a little bit for some small talks. We'll then walk back together to where I'm seated, have some more hug/handshake and get separated to our different seat.

If you're great, you're great. You don't need to act like a "small mind" to ascert your greatness or trying to prove any superiority...

We should learn wisdom, scruples and the Omoluabi ethos from kings...

Have you ask yourself, how come none of them was able to foresee and predict covid19?

OgaSeun:

If you like, allow them make them gaslight you.

Congratulations black man with myopic mentality. In this age you are still celebrating "tribe". While genetically the so called 259 tribes are connected... I don't know when you guys will purge yourselves of this deep seated primordial sentiments that make you think you better off than others that in the same pit with you.

From the wickedness of the heart, the mouth speaks.

"Hate" is a heavy word. If this man is not evil and wicked in his heart, he will not speak lightly as he did.

Soon, some people will be asking about "how can moral be without religion".
