Osun Hunters 10th Anniversary

Hunters from every town in Osun state today 22nd of April 2016 troop in to celebrate the 10th Year Anniversary of The hunters, it was really a merrimentous event to behold, with lot of enthralling event, that will leave one bewildered.

The event which took place in fakunle Comprehensive High school Osun state, witness a man performing what Marvins called "Janta-manta" the man was seen putting a life snake in his mouth, as a means of entertaining the audience present at the anniversary.

Memorably, the event featured so many activities, part of which was a football competition among many. Indeed it was an event to reckon for all those present.

Why didnt he put a cobra in his mouth ?

Forget all diz religion extremism, illiteracy plaquing the north..Take it frm me.....Northern part of Nigeria has the most number of beautiful ladies.

Yes, that's true, but you must be moslem to get one.

She's well shaped....

I like Tiwa. She is full bodied.

Even with an 'ineffectual baboon ' as president, we never suffered such a protracted fuel crisis as we are seeing. At least he was effective in ending scarcity. This administration is totally clueless and cannot seem to figure out how to tackle this issue. DPR issues threats and their staff go behind and take kickback from station owners. Fact is tankers are being diverted to those areas where they can brazenly sell at 180-200 naira per litre...those that are not diverting sell at the dead of night to black marketers else tell me how those countless people standing on the road selling in jerry cans get their fuel...unless of course they have their own import license. That's all

If they call Gej ineffectual buffoon, I wonder what Bubu will be called.

I like his response. Always on point.

SLIDEwaxie:
Take it or leave it, there are no queue here at ago iwoye, and fuel is available in Abeokuta at 130/liter from 180/liter last week.
So, as e dey go.

Vanguard = wailers.

Imagine, anonymous source...lol

So 130 and 180 is the correct price abi ? . Btw, have u gone to other parts of the country ?

I know so many people are battling with weight issues. I decided to share these pictures to motivate others no to give up. I used to weight 110kg, i wasn't happy cos to get fitted clothes is a problem. I tried using some drugs to lose the weight but it wasn't helping. I was just too lazy to exercise or diet cos i love food so much.

Then something happened that triggered my determination to lose the weight in a very healthy way, which was dieting and exercising. The only exercise i did was skipping of rope, i jumped rope 30mins everyday. So within 5 months of skipping rope and dieting, i lost a whopping 34kg.

Although my goal was to reach 70kg but Nigerians with their mentality, they were already insinuating I'm HIV positive or I'm suffering from eating disorder. I just had to stop at 76kg, also they said I'm ugly and not good looking anymore. My health is very important to me, I'm healthy, smart and light. Finally i don't spend 6hrs while shopping for clothes anymore, i spend less than 2hrs cos i easily get my size and the best. I love myself but my health is important....

In addition, go for weight training.

I thought Arsenal fans boycotted the match. What rubbish. What is Arsenal playing for now ? Silly coach

Can't they rotate him ? Send some soldiers that have not gone there. Let this guy rest..

Bro chill! China underwent this process som yrs ago by practically closing all it sectors of economy to the outside world.
with this policy, investors from nigeria can invest in this sector without the fear that another carrier with unlimited capital base can run it out of business (and charge us drastically after) and also govt will be able to generate revenue from it.
Nigerians pays for this flight and all the money is taken to anither country....

Educate me where u think i am wrong.

Is that what this government is trying to do ? Hahahahaaa. U people like to give excuses on the behalf of this government. So Nigeria wants to close all sectors of the economy to the outside world, yet the president is hopping from one continent to another looking for foreign investors ?

6digitscomrade:
well said apparently he is lieing..iberia airlines created jobs in their own little quota..added to our revenue..and is one of if not the cheapest airline from europe to africa...if they pull out of nja..then travelling cost for us here will av to increase..so the hardship becomes transcontinental as it were...huholivia is this your real name or an alias sort of?if it is then u gat me cracking the bleep outta my mind...am sure you will wanna know why am still laughing hahahahaha

People will always be zombies...

tafrica:
Just watch as 'ultimate defenders' will invade this thread and call this development a good one, they will call all these international airlines thieves for complaining about the difficulty in converting their profits to dollars. Hailers will say 'let them go, we don't need them' as if a nation can grow in isolation. How will our economy grow when foreign investors aren't coming and the few ones we have are leaving? The implication of this development;
1. Job loss for the workers.
2. The remaining airlines will probably inflate their prices.
3. This decision may force others follow same path.
4. News like this further discourages foreign investors from coming to Nigeria.

Which foreign investors will come to Nigeria when you know you can't convert your profits to dollars?

I'm still battling to know how any news of foreign investors leaving our shore is a good news, but many will hail this just to always support govt policies even when it hurts the economy.

I taya for some Nlabders oh . Dey don loose their objectivity. They have reduced the bar so much for their small god. They don't see reason again. Even a first class economist will prefer to leave his brain at home when he's commenting on anything that has to do with Buhari.

Gossiplover:
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has assured residents of Sokponba Area of Benin City that the over 30-feet deep underground drainage project which is ongoing will bring a lasting solution to the problem of flooding in the area.

He said his administration is determined to complete on-going road and drainage projects at the Second East Circular and Sokponba areas of the state capital. Already sections of the dual carriageway road on Second East has been asphalted.

Speaking during an inspection of projectsat the Second East Circular and Sokponba Roads in Benin City, Governor Oshiomhole said, the government is doing everything possible to ensure completion of the projects before the full rainy season.

Fulani herdsmen have reportedly kidnapped a police man after engaging a joint team of the Nigerian Army and Mobile Police Force personnel in Agatu, Benue state in a gun duel.
One of the policemen, Corporal Ebiakpo Akparakazi, was also reported missing during the attack.
The Benue state police spokesman, ASP Moses Yamu, who confirmed the incident, said that search teams have been sent out to find the missing officer.
Another youth, Inalegwu Chele, was also reported missing during the attack.
It was gathered that the herdsmen opened fire on the security team who were on their way to investigate an alleged killing of two youths, after receiving a distress call.
Reports also say the two youths who were allegedly shot by the herdsmen were rescued, and are now receiving treatment.

But was it not the police IG that said that tgedestruction in Agatu was blown out of proportion

EastGold:
Una don come again abi?

Where is Ipob today?

Buratai no dey look face o

So the armed forces are proud to say that they defeated Ipob, an armless group but bokoharam is still going on strong.
In a recent thread, the op raised an issue on the silence of Wole Soyinka. Another person shut him down to say Wole Soyinka has paid he's dues and it's time for the Nigerian youths to fight for themselves. He even downgraded us.
But guess what, may be it is violence that will make the government listen. That seems to be the best way to handle people like this. Tell Buhari to deal with his brothers. Bokoharam and Fulani herdsmen are busy killing up and down and he has not condemned their actions.

christopher123:
Hausa-Fulani islamist has added another faether to their cap...which is Kidnapping apart from child abduction, jihads, fundermentalism and terrorism. Thats an improvement


They should keep it up


Nonesense

Have u noticed that other administrations did not experience this . And the fact that the presidency has not taken any decisive action us worrisome.

Delphi:
Good, it expired because another chaos would have erupted in Nigeria. Could you image a situation where ones ancestral land will be taken from him in the name of compensation and handed over to Fulani militia who pose as cattle rearers. Those men are too hostile to have neighbours, so they better stay where they understand themselves. In fact, they ought not to own any land that is not theirs. All grass lands except farms are welcome for cattle grazing hence, why need a reservation again? Why tresspass to farms? These are critical questions begging for answers. No grazing reserve bill please, before people will become fugitives in their own land.

And some Southerners support it

Toolz decided to share advice to ladies whose boyfriends ask for a break..According to her, this is what her alter-ego would say;

Break ke?? Don't mind him....he's just a bit unsure cos some pesky beings are trying to distract him. In fact this is when you need to do the most. Give him a 'day-off' from the relationship, but don't be idle. Go visit his mum..talk aso-ebi colours, make his dad some lunch...take it to his office. Call his boys for a hangout....they are your friends too now. Go surprise his siblings at work or school...Bisi is your lil sis now too. It doesn't matter that you've only been dating for 6 weeks.

No...you aren't crazy...you are just a strong woman who knows what she wants .....and goes after it.
Break ke...loool...abeg what do you want for dinner jare? (When my later-ego gives relationship advice hehehe)

Na true. Is this not a form of desperation ?

blackberlin:
Great move by my brothers from the South-East. This is the only way we can stop criminal acts, not by laughing at each others' woes.

The Fulani Herdsmen (rebranded Boko Haram) have shown us all that what befalls one person may end up befalling another.

When Olu Falae was attacked by Fulani Herdsmen (aka Boko Haram), the Igbos on Nairaland were laughing and calling Yorubas cowards, as if we've not beaten each other mercilessly in secondary school. Either ways, these animals must be curbed, otherwise a break up would be imminent.

I have nothing against the Hausas/Fulanis, but the same North has produced the worst crop of people in Nigeria, from bad military heads of state to deadly insurgencies, they all came from the north. If their elders have any shame, let them say the truth and stop promoting evil, or betterstill, let the Hausas and Fulanis join their brothers in Niger and Mali and leave us in peace.

The Igbos have not caused Yorubas any problem, and Yorubas are also peaceful people. But the people that are causing us issues are the Northerners. That's the truth.
The earlier we come to understand who the problem is,the better. I'm not calling for war against the Northerners cos there are innocent people amongst them especially the Christians. We should stop laughing at others who go through problems from the Fulani herdsmen. What surprises me the most is that our so called elites are folding their hands and turning the other way.

dfrost:
Bros, sorry to bust your bubbles but theVoice made a lot of sense with his post. I'm not a politician neither do I support the wanton killings. Infact some of the people that voted the current administration are also complaining.

theVoice made a valid point: Prof is old haba, pity the man nah. At that age he should be going to owambès and drinking palmwine. He has paid his dues.

What exactly are you and me doing to be the next Pa Tai Solarin, Prof. Wole Soyinka, et al?

The current crop of youths are either lazy or backstabbers. If I tell you the story of my struggle against lecturers before I graduated, you will relate why everyone is afraid to start anything. Your acquaintances are the ones that will succumb to fear and show the authorities your family to be dealt with.

Let's keep watching. If anyone wants Wole Soyinka to say anything, all the 60+ should also brought along for the protest.

I know we have a responsibility. But one person can't do it alone. But I'm curious why he's quiet now, after he has given his vote of confidence to this administration.
I'm against the violence in this country, although it's not affecting me directly. I live in the SS and the herdsmen are not attacking us but I can't fold my arms. I'm playing my own part but how many people are willing to help out ? This

theV0ice:
He was also vehement in his attack against the cabal that held GEJ hostage. He didn't start speaking against GEJ until 2012, over 2 years after he fought to have him enthroned. How long has buhari spent?

How many fights have you done beyond ranting on NL? How many times did you condemn any.of the wrong moves of GEJ?

Malala was 15, Enahoro was 22, Soyinka was 28. you too get out into the public and get your voice out.

You are missing the point. I'm not saying he should fight Buhari. You guys are always quick to defend Buhari's government and anything concerning him.
First and most importantly, lives are being lost. You can't keep quiet when women are children are being butchered up and down. These people have no voice. It's people like you and I, and of course the Soyinkas that have better influence. Not just Soyinka but our MOGs. Our MOGs have so much clout. Politicians troop in to see them. Why can't they use their influence for the general good of all ?
You that advise people to get out of the public to air their voice, I hope you know that you're also indicting yourself ? We thank God that you are in a safe area, probably in Lagos. But think about others who are facing Fulani herdsmen on a daily basis.

lawbabs:
Why are you waiting on Wole Soyinka? He has created his path and why can't you be the next voice for others. Why can't you stand up like he did many years back. Do you have any idea of how it is quite challenging for an old man to do the same things he did in his youth. Once in a while, you may see or hear his thoughts on certain matters but you may just be the next this generation is waiting for...

Nigerians are funny. When Nnamdi Kanu fought the injustice, how many people support him. People looked at him and laughed. They left him to fight alone. The truth is that people like Soyinka have been compromised that's why he can't say much. At least he should speak for conscience sake.

Zico5:
I wonder if this op has conscience at all. Like a free minded person wole soyinka needs to watch and study this current situation very well. Not that he has nothing to say. He understands the calamity that 16 perilous years have done us and what wailers are expecting after sucking the nation dry. Buhari did not cause this current misfortune, rather he is in to clean a Longtime decay of our system and to set us on the glorious path.

The issue is beyond the economy. We are looking at the injustice suffered by the poor and defenseless. Innocent blood is being shed by the herdsmen. 300 in a community alone is not a small number. Soyinka is the same person that attacked Gej and called Patience shepopo.

As for me, I'm fairly comfortable with life. But when I think about others, I feel so sorry.

theV0ice:
@OP, How many fights have you been involved in since you were born?

Soyinka tasted prison as a 28 year old fighting injustice in 1962. He went to prison again for 3 years because of Biafra in 1967. Countless brushes with the govts since then.

Where were you in 2010 when he, bakare, odumakin etc were trekking under the sun for Jonathan to be set free from Turai's cage?

Were you not on earth when he was televised advising buhari to convene an economic summit?

You want an 82 year old man to be fighting your battle? Are you not ashamed? You stay on internet ranting everyday and you stay waiting for a grand father to keep fighting for your future. A 23 year old Tunisian started the Arab spring, what are you waiting for?

The man has paid his dues pls. Let him enjoy the few years he has left abeg.

Soyinka was vehement in his attack against Gej. At least it's expected that he should speak against the ills of this country today for CONSCIENCE sake. He was one of the reasons Gej was voted out. He gave Buhari his vote of confidence. 82 million was spent in hosting him. I guess his conscience has been bought.

godfirstawe:
I love the business sense of the igbos.

All other tribes are fill owing.

Go to the ant thou sluggards learn her ways and be wise.

I like the Igbos business sense but that does not mean u should insult other tribes. It's this sort of attitude that causes people to attack you.

LadyExcellency:
Military force is not an answer to every militant resurgence or every insurgency.

Jonathan administration produced an average of 2.4 million barrels per day and was accused of officially stealing one million barrels per day at same time by APC making it a total of 3.4 million barrels per day.

It will interest you to note that despite the "fear of General Buhari", Nigeria now produces 1.6 million barrels per day. What a reverse diplomacy.

Buhari should make himself likable and sacrifice little for stability than believing in 19th century show of force that wouldn't work in 21st century.

Buhari is a bigot who sees a part of the nation as his enemies...

comos:
That school will be merge with Ambrose Alli university when PDP wins election later this year.

Naija's destiny is not tied to the US/UK, all the years of neo-colonialism is why they don't want to let go!! Evil western demons!!

People see conspiracy theory in this but we have to be open minded. When this same US said same thing during Gej's administration, the opposition revelled in it. .
What the American said is it a lie ? They ever forgot to mention Fulani herdsmen.
