Confused man. He forgot he also campaigned on sending other people back to their state of origin.

That boy called GRV is daft and NOT a very bright person. Just take a look at the trash he Tweeted. Unknown to him, the indigenes of Lagos State and Ogun State are one people... Especially
Ijebuland and Aworiland that straddle both sides of the 2 Yoruba states of Lagos and Ogun.

Yayi is an Awori and Aworis are indigenous to many towns in Ogun State and Lagos State. Osinbajo that he refered to in his ignorant Tweet is an Ijebu and Ijebus are also indigenous to many towns in Ogun State and Lagos State (such as Epe, Ikorodu, Ibeju-Lekku, Ajah).

Just like in Ghana, new land leases in Lagos and Ogun States MUST henceforth not exceed 50 years from here on out.

If I get myself a Lucozade boost, not only will you start hating me, you'll also unfollow me and report me to the mods like one nairalander in here...

Because once I put my heart and soul in an argument, I don't give up easily..

Oh yes... I know what some of you young ladies with legal backgrounds are capable of... You are hardwired to want to win arguments. But I have the mind of steel to handle the situation. cheesy

For real?! You mean someone reported you to a mod here on NL? I've been a member of this forum since 2005 with an older NL account and I have learned to just ignore some of these NL guys or trolls who can't engage in insightful convos without getting petty.

C'mon, I won't hate or unfollow you because I like having good convos with males and females who have brilliant minds that let you see other perspectives (even if you have a contrarian view to mine as long as it doesn't degenerate to "below the belt" kinda outright insults).

Of course, in all our convos here on NL, you have proven to be like "pineapple on pizza." I have one more observation about you though but I won't tell you now... That would be later on a different thread.

You can't compare cooking with athletics.

Athletics are all about competing against each other, but cooking isn't.

Do you think this Dami girl thought of breaking that record before Hilda came to the picture? And do you think she'd have had the desires to do it within a short space of time if it was broken by a European, American, middle Eastern, or Asian?

Dialectically speaking, oh yes you can compare both categories because they are both time-bound and entail the breaking of records... One on the athletics track and the other in the kitchen. As a former student of law in SA, you should ponder over it again. wink

Second, Hilda indeed opened the floodgates of interest in that cooking category. That of course stimulated the interest of Dami and other Chefs living in other countries aside from Nigeria such as in Kenya, etc. They also want to break Hilda's 4-day cooking record.

With reference to your final question, I think she would if the motivation is there. The last winner of that cooking category that was dethroned by Hilda was from Asia... (i.e., India to be precise).

The way we ladies like competing against each other, it can be unhealthy sometimes.

It wouldn't hurt for her to just be happy for her fellow sister rather than try to compete with her.

I'm sure she wasn't even thinking of doing that Guinness world record before that Hilda woman won.

Samantha, how's it going?

I disagree with a few of your points of view here, although I think Chef Dami and her team could have given some space of just 2 months to gain maximum effects before taking on the new challenge. Incidentally, 'Dami is studying Mass Communications at 300 level, while Hilda also read Mass Communications in the Uni, so I assume they understand the power of online and offline media to achieve positive change.

To be clear, in the world of athletics, World Records get broken several times in the same event, on the same day, by the same athletic or by other athletes.

Just last year (2022), 'Tobi Amusan, a Texas, U.S.-based Nigerian female athlete broke her own World Record twice in the same 100 meter hurdles event. The second record was wind-aided, but it still showed that we humans have unlimited powers buried within us.

It is a "limiting belief" to assume that this is a case of unhealthy female competition... This is a limiting belief.

Guinness World Records has officially accepted Hilda's record with deductions made for some infractions... and it gained her more fame and wealth.

This Camerounian lady claims she is Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson's mother

Take a listen!!!

#wetindeyhappentv

This is quite touching and got my eyes a bit misty. Wow, so, Mercy has a Cameroonian mother (who gave birth to her in the old Benue State in 1982, although 1984 is her widely known year of birth) who she had spoken to before now.

After watching the video, this Cameroonian woman is indeed Mercy Johnson's mother and they both look alike. I like her firm stance about being Mercy's biological mother. A further DNA test can be done to clear all doubts.

Mercy should bring her biological mother closer and forgive her if she did wrong. There has to be full closure for everyone.

May his soul rest in peace .

He founded Onward Stationery in 1953. He started buying and selling paper just after leaving school.

First, he bought locally, then grew to begin getting wholesale imports.

In 1973, he launched Onward Paper Mill, makers of the legendary exercise books Onward Notebook.

He is a native of Epe, Lagos State

My respects to another billionaire business mogul from the Ijebu part of Ogun State, Otunba Subomi Balogun (the founder of the iconic FCMB and the first Merchant bank in Nigeria).

LeoDeKing:
Can there ever be anything more amusing than for someone to insult you then expect you to sing his praises? I sometimes laugh uncontrollably when they quote or tag me with their inconsequential rants.

As I type, they are scattered everywhere on social media insulting the ancestry of others except themselves. Then you expect me to give a bleep about their tears in my mention.

They scream to high heaven that you hate them, ask them if they are hated for loving others, they will rather insult you more. E get some mentions wey I no dey read pass first sentence. That comment you just quoted is a typical example.

I see your point and absolutely agree with you Leo. I must commend you for defending your people from the cyber-bullying from these creeps. I want you too to also tone down a bit because I have seen some of your posts that you did to dispel the toxic and misleading information from some of these bigots. Don't be too forward, but strongly state your point so that some people will not use you as an example.

But what really got me pissed off is the attempt by her to blackmail you Yoruba folks and then she didn't call out the many well-known toxic NL Ibo monikers here who have been trying to destabilize this NL Website. This is coming from a young lady who is from Imo State but speaks and writes very fluent Yoruba.

I have well-documented online and offline evidence of organized cyber-bullying, the spread of fake news, misogyny and ethnic propaganda on Ibo-owned Websites from the late 1990s then to the early 2000s till now that will seal the fate of any Ibo that FALSELY accuses the Yorubas and other Nigerian ethnicities of being the first to engage in online attacks.

Any land or city needs people and is looking for people. They understand this in Europe is why there are never xenophobic attacks there. All residents of a city are assets because they are market and a source of government revenue. They need to explain this to the young man. All Europeans understand this. Nnamdi Kanu is in prison because of the same kind of issue and people should not be encouraged to toe that path. In the near future, all countries will be competing among themselves for people as people are the main resource of any nation.

Igbo violence in western Nigeria is mainly online and does not really go beyond the internet. Only verbal violence and there is hardly any Yoruba family nowadays without Igbo inlaws. There are far more Igbos married to Yorubas than Yoruba married to Hausas despite that there are enough Muslims among Yorubas to marry Hausas and despite that Yorubas met Igbos for the first time in the 20th century. Hate speech, incitements and etc should be discouraged since we all know that Nnamdi Kanu is in jail for that reason.

You made some interesting and valid points here.

Only 1 in 10 Yoruba folks marry outside their ethnic group, so it is NOT that the number of inter-ethnic marriages is that high. So, I do NOT agree with you that there is hardly any Yoruba family with Ibo inlaws. Yorubas marry more from Edo and Delta States. Others marry Nupes, and other Northern ethnicities and then those in Europe, America, etc, gravitate towards citizens of those countries or marry from the Yoruba Diaspora.

I also observed that Yorubas mainly marry from Ibo-speaking Delta North or Anioma than from the South East.

Last but not least, the Ibo online toxicity, hate speeches and defamation of character of prominent people of other Nigerian ethnicites have to be dealt by the authorities because it insidious and is a projection of the thoughts, feelings, and actions of those ethnic bigots. From my observations right from the late 1990s till date, the responses of the Yoruba folks and other Nigerian ethnicities like the Ijaws, Hausas, Ikwerres, Ibibios, etc, to the organized online mob aggression online have been a response to these relentless attacks.

Recently, we read here online about the arrest of a young Ibo dude in Anambra State during the last elections in Nigeria for defaming Sir.
Emeka Offor and inciting the Labor Party members against him. This is the only way to tame these creeps who spread hate online and offline.

Behold the face of hate!

Mariah,
I am responding to this post because you are one of those favorites here on NL. You have to stop engaging in confirmation bias and calling other NL monikers out here if you cannot engage in holistic criticism. It is ethnic bigotry on your part for NOT including your fellow Ibos who have initiated these relentless toxic attacks years back on NL as well!

As a veteran member of NL since 2005, I can confirm that your Ibo kinsmen have been the ones causing trouble online and on NL... even before Nairaland was formed by Seun Osewa in March 2005. Mainly the Ibos have always been toxic and have always attacked other Nigerian ethnic groups simply because of the 2 years and 6 months Nigerian Civil War. Members of Ralph Uwazurike's Massob were involved in massive hate speech online in the early 2000s, then Ipob members continued the relentlessly hate against other Nigerians.

Even Ibo females have joined in hate speech on social media and there is massive video and online evidence of Ibo aggression and propaganda from back in the late 1990s right till 2023 against other ethnic groups in Nigeria and this is why others had to fight back against this very toxic Ibo aggression coming from mainly the males. Period.

Good one. I wholeheartedly support the swift action of the police on this, and i know for sure that most Yorubas if not all will support the police as well.

But mind you, if was the other way round you would see how all the ibos in the world and ohaneaze Ndigbo declare support for the person and accuse the the president of trying to persecute the ibos. This is the difference between the ibos and the others. After all, Kanu said worst than this and his boys have been killing innocent people across the SE, yet his people still backing him and calling for his release
