ibechris:
So,he is generalising when it is obvious that he is saying it as it is.

atiku4President:
It is no longer news that Nigerian federal civil servants are celebrating 2024 Christmas without December salaries. This is in contradiction to what Federal workers enjoyed under PDP-led federal government.

Federal workers, please, how are you coping this period with your family?

It's really a pity how emilokan turned his back against his tribesmen that hunger is now ravaging them to oblivion

Eriokanmi:
. I knew you'd pull this out from Wikipedia which anyone can put up there , Including you and I. So, if I call Magodo (a yoruba word, meaning do not pound that morter) another name on Wikipedia tomorrow, you'd also go there and dig it out abi?

Akeja is different from Ikeja. Akeja is in ota, a small community after the lagos boundary with ogun, after crossing that bridge. That's akeja town which is different from Ikeja.

There's something which we always do as human. We like to distort history even though it is irrelevant in the present day generation. I heard the other day when someone said Ikeja is an abbreviation of Ikorodu and epe blablala. I think it's been removed by same blogger who put it there. This isn't peculiar to us. Arabs also do this a lot. Imagine them saying they own Egypt despite the obvious. Thank God for those mummies they exhumed which proved them wrong. Early egyptians were blacks. Otoman turks came and wiped them off for worshipping idols after alexander invasion
from greece and settled there with his people and procreated for centuries, his people stayed and were enthroning themselves. Imagine apartheid was never stopped in south africa. In 1000 years to come, the whites in that era would lay claim on that country cos blacks would have been wiped out completely

The fact that Lagos is our land and nobody can take it away does not mean we shouldn't give credit to the early settlers. It's just like ijaw saying ęsę odo is an ijaw land . Wouldn't that be a white lie? That the ilajes occupy a LGA in Ondo doesn't change the fact that it's still an Ondo land and a yoruba territory by extension.

Try and be visiting museums once in a while maybe during your annual leave. You'd know a lot of history about people and territories they occupy in yorubaland. I was shocked the day I saw the old map of Lagos Island. That was the only place known as lagos in that era by the colonialists. All the bini names on that map have disappeared today. It was the colonialists who compiled them. It was in that book I learnt the only road that entered lagos was from abeokuta down to ota-orile agege, etc down to Iddo and eko, just a tiny footpath.

Imagine some people coining the meaning of eko? Till tomorrow, ask any edo person where he or she is going , they'd tell you Eko. They don't know here as lagos, na oyinbo name am lagos. Eko, idugaran, idumota, idumagbo, etc are edo words and are on that map. Iga means compound in bini. When next I visit again, I'd snap those pages and upload it here. Even where they used to bury lagos obas in Benin and the reason behind that practice until it was stopped. Oba akiolu once told this truth and some people got angry but history can't lie. The erelu of lagos too was verbally attacked, why?

Above all these, it's still our land but we need to always give credit to whom it's due. Do you know that, had the edos not settled here , lagos might not have been possibly discovered till today cos nothing was happening here than fishing about 700 years ago. The edos came and settled here. Seashore was the fastest route to bini in those days.

Before I conclude on issues like history, I read widely and consult widely. I also reason. After Edo it's awori people who can claim here by ownership cos a vast part of the mainland is owned by them.

Fat people could be in danger of being eaten by ESN. Maybe she is hiding.

Just another day in AfghanEastern.

Next we'd see is his charred body ready to be devoured by rampaging ipob Cannibals.

Our hearts and prayers are with the humans left in AfghanEastern.

BeardedmeatR:
There's a Nexus between mining and cannibalism because yorubas killed Mko and shared his meat.

BeardedmeatR:
There is unity in mining and roasting and chowing!
