As you can see, the op is a liar and he is full of sh*t.

The 1st picture is Alaafin bowing in the presence of the king before Sijuwade.
The 2nd picture is Alaafins elder brother Oni popo of popo kneeling for the present Ooni.
The 3rd picture is Akenzua II, the father of the current Oba of Benin, he is also Alaafin's elder brother visiting a past Ooni.

I stumbled upon this online and decided to post it here so Historians in the building can prove it right/wrong.

I shouldn't be trading words with you but I'd like to correct you cus you'd only think others do the same thing you do.
Take your time to read the post, maybe just the first paragraph before you wag your mouth/hand to call/tag someone a liar!
PEACE!

YoruByte: SUPERIORITY BETWEEN THE ALAAFIN AND THE OONI, FACT OF THE MATTER
First of all I am immensely grateful to the two most prominent royal fathers Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamide Adeyemi III and Ooni of Ife, Oba Ogunwusi for their display of maturity and bringing together the whole Yoruba race again. I say to both revered fathers, KABIYEESI O!!! (As usual, with my chest flat on the floor). Both of them are great kings of Yoruba land and none should ever be disparaged!.
That being said, we need to clear the air on this superiority issue being bandied around by a lot of people without the sense of history. Some say The Alaafin is the supreme-most king in Yoruba land, while others say it is the Ooni. I would try to give an abridged version of the history of the two and let you, the YoruByte reader make your own decision.
So, it is an agreed fact that the progenitor of the Yoruba race is Oduduwa. Fact undisputed! It also known that Oduduwa had only one child, Okanbi. Fact Unchallenged! Furthermore, It is universally agreed that Okanbi had seven children, Fact Uncontroverted! 5 boys and 2 girls. His first-born was a princess who married his chief priest (the Onirisa) and the first male child of that union became the Olowu of Owu. The second child was also a princess, who became the mother of the Alaketu, the progenitor of the Ketu people (how these two boys [Olowu and Alaketu] who were children of princesses became kings is a story for another time). The third, a prince, became king of the Benin people. The fourth, Orangun, became the king of Ila. The fifth, the Onisabe (king of the Sabes [In Benin republic]). The sixth, Olupopo (king of the popos [Also in Benin Republic]). And the last prince was Oranmiyan. All these princes became Kings who wore crowns as distinguished from vassals who did not dare wear crowns but used coronets called Akoro. You can read up the full story of Oranmiyan from a previous post I made on https://www.facebook.com/yorubyte/posts/301107606748271:0 . I strongly advise that you read the link because it lays the foundation for this post.
Where the argument starts is with Oranmiyan. Infact, the benin people have their own arguments too with Oranmiyan but that is a story for another day. As you would have noticed from the geanealogy, the first of the Okanbi princes is the King of Benin and people have wondered why he is not said to be the most important Yoruba king. The issue is that, it is the first prince born AFTER ascension to the throne that is the crowned prince, irrespective of the existence of an elder brother.
Oranmiyan was the only son born after Okanbi ascended the throne, therefore, Oranmiyan became the crowned prince. None of his brothers contested this with him. Oranmiyan was a hunter/warrior, so he was given to expedition. After he became king in Ife (please note that up till Oranmiyan, no ife king used the title Ooni), Oranmiyan decided to expand his territories and so he set forth with some of his men to “enlarge his coast”.
From the days of Oduduwa, the king always had a chief priest who performs the daily worship of the gods of Yoruba land, the title of the priest was Oonirisa (a compressed form of Olorisha) which means the custodian of the gods. The chief priest was never from the royal family! They never had any royal blood in them. Just like in the Bible where you have the kings and the priests. (This lends credence to the fact that the yorubas must have migrated from Egypt and not Mecca. Again, this is a story for another day).
Up till this very day, ALL the gods in Ife must be worshipped DAILY, so Oranmiyan, during his days, was not going to risk the gods not being worshipped because he wanted to go expand his coast. As a matter of fact, he required the assistance of the gods to make his mission successful. In view of this, he didn’t go on his sojourn with the chief priest, he left him at home to worship the gods and be the one to give guidance to the populace he left in Ife. Oranmiyan went ahead to establish the great Oyo empire from the bank of river Niger all the way to the tip of Popo town in the now Benin Republic. The Ooni was left as the leader of the Ife people by Oranmiyan, while Oranmiyan himself remained as Alaafin of Oyo empire. Whenever the Ooni required direction on crucial matters of state, he sent messages to the Alaafin who gave INSTRUCTIONS on what to be done. As time went on, the sons of the chief priests (Oonis) started taking leadership after the demise of their fathers and they also started being kings, but they all deferred to the Alaafins in Oyo from generation to generation. As a matter of fact, there was NEVER any Ooni who challenged the authority or the superiority of the Alaafin before the immediate past Ooni, Oba Sijuade who recently ascended to the realm of the spirits. But always, the Alaafins give special recognition to two kings. One, anyone who is an Ooni, because he sits on the stool sat on by Oduduwa. Secondly, anyone who is an Oba of Benin, because he is the eldest brother. But respect and recognition does not mean we don’t know who actually owns the authority.
This is the reason why ONLY the Alaafin can give a title that cuts across all Yoruba lands. All other kings can only give a title for their lands. E.g, the king of Owu can only bestow on you the title of Balogun of OWU KINGDOM, while Alaafin can bestow on you the title of Are Ona Kakanfo of YORUBA LAND.
The prominence of the kings who are Oduduwa’s grandsons come into perspective when you hear of the story of the current Oba of benin’s visit to the Ooni. When the Oba of benin visited the OOni Sijuade and the Ooni welcomed the Oba of benin by saying “welcome my son”, the Oba of Benin, Oba Omo N’oba, gave the response to Ooni Sijuade by saying “The father can’t be the son” and they both laughed about it. But the Oba of benin indeed passed a message there.
I would like to close by giving two analogie:-.
Very few people know that the Headquarters of the Redeemed Christian church of God is not the one along Lagos-Ibadan express way, the headquarters is in Yaba in Lagos state. Now, there is a pastor in charge of the headquarters of the church but Pastor Adeboye stays at the Redeemed camp. Does this fact make the pastor at the headquarters greater than Pastor Adeboye?
If I am the Only son of my father, and my father marries a wife after the demise of my mother, In African culture, if my father dies, who has the authority to control the home and decide how the inheritance would be shared, Me or my father’s wife? But one thing is certain, no matter what a heir does, he still has to always give respect to his father’s widow. This does not mean the widow would not know who has the ultimate authority.
Now you know the history, now you can decide who the greater king is.
Ooni Ogunwusi, may your reign be peaceful and may your days be long. Alaafin Adeyemi, may your wisdom guide the Yoruba race aright and may your days not end in shame. To both of you my fathers, again I say KABIYEESI o (Now rolling to the right and rolling to the left while still postrating flat on my chest)

Explorers, Gbayi!

Hephhemcomputer:
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have come out to address the issue of the call up letters that prospective corps members have been printing.

To the surprise of all, prospective 2016 NYSC Batch A were able to check and print their call up letters the same day they registered and paid online. They were able to view their state of deployment and some have even started rejoicing for getting their desired state of deployment.

NYSC have sent official text messages to the 2016 Batch A prospective corps members to disregard that letter and that they will be informed at the right time when their posting is ready for printing.

Below is a screenshot of the message.

See the missing part of the text: Apart from #3000 you had paid, disregard any other payments. Beware of scammers!!! DG

Some of us that didn't get the text carrying the new call up number nko?

Every Explorers's post has been a hit back to back, yet most no dey reach Fp. Oga Seun, Lalasticlala, justwise , DisGuy no dey dull this guy na

The ability to do or be something without actually physically doing it.

Explorers come see **One if the RealIEST niggar on NL***

Shukrawberry, come see ooo

diegorod:
Ok....thanks @upsyl.......can i do the regulization @jamb office or......??

You'd still be redirected back to your school!

pweetychyka:
Thanks for ur swift response!

Does it mean that for one to register for DE, u must av dat jamb regularisation number?

Or how do you mean?

No if you have a jamb number that you were admitted with **kindly check the admission status of the jamb registration number if you previously have any on Jamb site**.
And YES if you don't have a jamb registration number or it says NO ADMISSION GIVEN YET!
If after checking, it says no admission given yet, then you have to REGULARISE.
In other words, you have to have let me say an active jamb number before you can apply for DIRECT ENTRY.

diegorod:
Pls about the jamb regularization......will it affect those ppl dat got there admission into ND in 2013.....if am to use d jamb reg number now

Let me do it this way!
JAMB REGULARIZATION.
This is just a new policy by JAMB to be able to control all applicants and graduates of all tertiary institution in the country. Jamb regularisation simply means giving jamb registration number to students who are already in higher institution but without one.
So it simply means if you are already a student of any higher institution of learning and on checking your admission status on JAMB site and it responds you haven't been offered provisional admission, then you have to REGULARISE so you can get a JAMB number.
The headline of the whole discussion is check your admission status on JAMB site first!
NB: the issue of jamb regularisation would likely not happen to those offered admission in recent times as most of them now print JAMB ADMISSION LETTER before resuming.
****Peace*******

pweetychyka:
Hi , Larry

I would like to know if a third party can help out with the regularization

And if it is for both ND and HND holders

Cc: LARRYDKING
upsyLi

To the best of my knowledge, I think/know that the regularisation of a thing is supposed to be done through your school. plus after receiving the jamb number, your biometrics will be needed to complete the regularisation.
In my school and some schools I know of, some amount were paid ranging from #5-6.5k to the school management.
**I got admitted into ND with jamb in 2010 but fast forward to 2015(HND 2) when I wanted to register for DE, I was required to use my jamb number I got admitted into ND with but after checking, it says the jamb number hasn't been offered admission yet. I had to report to the registrar's office in my school, it was then I learnt about regularisation. so I just paid, after a week, got the number and proceeded to do the online reg**


I hope this↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ helps.

pweetychyka:
What if one doesn't have transcript but has statement of result?

Cos ma school doesn't want to give us transcript by hand, they will rather wanna send it to the school you are applying for DE

Good! Either which way, the transcript should get to your school of choice. You don't necessarily need to submit it to JAMB office. Notification of Result is what's needed for JAMB office.

Most school won't give students Transcript by hand, even those that do mostly seal it.

seyifunmi111:
Is it original O'level result and what??

Online print out will do!

seyifunmi111:
Please what are the documents needed for direct entry process. ? And also I heard that one will submits file to jamb. What are the requirement for this file.... Thanks for your prompt responds..

Your Academic Transcript and O'level result.
You'd be required to submit your DE online reg printout (and/or the documents mentioned above) to JAMB office.

seyifunmi111:
Hello room, please help me out with this. am a student of Osun state polytechnic Iree, and I want to obtain DE to Lautech, but the school haven't conducted the 2nd semester exam, but it seems we are going to round up on before february..

You can if you're quite sure your transcript would be ready by the time the said institution starts their admission process.
**Something of such happened to me last year, I applied for DE into UI but my transcript wasn't ready when due for me to continue the admission process. now gonna try again this year.**

Military coup
On 15 January 1966, Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna and other junior Army officers (mostly majors and captains) attempted a coup d'état . The two major political leaders of the north, the prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and the Premier of the northern region, Sir
Ahmadu Bello were executed by Major Nzeogwu. Also murdered was Sir Ahmadu Bello's wife and officers of Northern extraction. Meanwhile, the President, Sir
Nnamdi Azikiwe , an Igbo, was on an extended vacation in the West Indies. He did not return until days after the coup. There was widespread suspicion that the Igbo coup plotters had tipped him and other Igbo leaders off regarding the impending coup. In addition to the killings of the Northern political leaders, the Premier of the Western region , Ladoke Akintola and Yoruba senior military offiers were also killed

.............
......revisioninsts of Nigerian coups, mostly from Eastern part of Nigeria have belatedly maintained to widespread disbelief amongst Western and Southern Nigerians that the majors sought to spring Action Group leader
Obafemi Awolowo out of jail and make him head of the new government. From there, they would dismantle the Northern-dominated power structure. However, their efforts to take power were thwarted by Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi , an Igbo and loyalist head of the Nigerian Army, who suppressed coup operations in the South. The majors surrendered, and Aguiyi-Ironsi was declared head of state on 16 January.

First Republic
Nigeria's First Republic came into being on 1 October 1960. The first prime minister of Nigeria, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, was a northerner and co-founder of the Northern People's Congress. He formed an alliance with the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons party, and its popular nationalist leader Nnamdi "Zik" Azikiwe , who became Governor General and then President. The Yoruba-aligned Action Group, the third major party, played the opposition role.
Workers became increasingly aggrieved by low wages and bad conditions, especially when they compared their lot to the lifestyles of politicians in Lagos. Most wage earners lived in the Lagos area, and many lived in overcrowded dangerous housing. Labor activity including strikes intensified in 1963, culminating in a nationwide general strike in June 1964. Strikers disobeyed an ultimatum to return to work and at one point were dispersed by riot police. Eventually, they did win raise increases. The strike included people from all ethnic groups. Retired Brigadier General H. M. Njoku later wrote that the general strike heavily exacerbated tensions between the Army and ordinary civilians, and put pressure on the Army to take action against a government which was widely perceived as corrupt.
The 1964 elections, which involved heavy campaigning all year, brought ethnic and regional divisions into focus. Westerners especially resented the political domination of the Northern People's Congress, many of whose candidates ran unopposed in the election. Violence spread throughout the country and some began to flee the North and West, some to Dahomey. The apparent domination of the political system by the North, and the chaos breaking out across the country, motivated elements within the military to consider decisive action.

During the 1940s and 1950s the Igbo and Yoruba parties were in the forefront of the fight for independence from Britain. They also wanted an independent Nigeria to be organised into several small states so that the conservative North could not dominate the country. Northern leaders, fearful that independence would mean political and economic domination by the more Westernized elites in the South, preferred the perpetuation of British rule. As a condition for accepting independence, they demanded that the country continue to be divided into three regions with the North having a clear majority. Igbo and Yoruba leaders, anxious to obtain an independent country at all costs, accepted the Northern demands.
However it would be wrong to state that the two Southern regions were politically or philosophically aligned and there were already discordance between the two Southern political parties. Firstly, the AG favoured a loose confederacy of regions in the emergent Nigerian nation whereby each region would be in total control of its own distinct territory. The status of Lagos was a sore point for the AG which did not want Lagos, a Yoruba town which was at that time the Federal Capital and seat of national government to be designated as the Capital of Nigeria if it meant loss of Yoruba Suzerainty. The AG insisted that Lagos, a Yoruba city which was situated in Western Nigeria must be completely recognized as a Yoruba town without any loss of identity, control or autonomy by the Yoruba. Contrary to this position, the NCNC was anxious to declare Lagos, by virtue of it being the "Federal Capital Territory" as "no man's land" - a declaration which as could be expected angered the AG which offered to help fund the development of other territory in Nigeria as "Federal Capital Territory" and then threatened succession from Nigeria if it didn't get its way. The threat of succession by the AG was tabled , documented and recorded in numerous constitutional conferences, including the constitutional conference held in london in 1954 with the demand that a right of succession be enshrined in the constitution of the emerging Nigerian nation to allow any part of the emergent nation to opt out of Nigeria, should the need arise.(Author(s): Tekena N. TamunoSource: The Journal of Modern African Studies, Vol. 8, No. 4 (Dec., 1970), pp. 563-584 [25] ) This proposal for inclusion of right of succession by the regions in independent Nigeria by the AG was rejected and resisted by NCNC which vehemently argued for a tightly bound united/unitary structured nation because it viewed the provision of a succession clause as detrimental to the formation of a Unitary Nigerian state. In the face of sustained opposition by the NCNC delegates, later joined by the NPC and backed by threats to view maintenance of the inclusion of succession by the AG as treasonable by the British, the AG was forced to renounce its position of inclusion of the right of succession a part of the Nigerian constitution. It should be noted that , had such a provision been made in the Nigerian constitution, later events which led to the Nigerian/Biafran civil war would have been avoided. The pre-independence alliance between the NCNC and the NPC against the aspirations of the AG would later set the tone for political governance of independent Nigeria by the NCNC/NPC and lead to disaster in later years in Nigeria.
