Christistruth02:
Outsiders collectively called all Yorubas Olukumi
But among Yorubas themselves they considered Olukumi to be a Yoruba dialect just like Oyo and Ekiti

Even today in Cuba all Yorubas are called Olukumi and that includes Oyo and Ketu(Benin Republic) descended Yorubas

Lukumi is a sectional name, in fact it may originally refer to a single migrant family of artisans from Ife.

It was used in Benin only and became popularized as a result of slave trade.
It eventually got overtaken by Anago in relation to slave trade too.

As I said, different part of Yoruba land got different names based on circumstances, with outsiders choosing
the ones that is closest to them.

The only general collective name for Yoruba is Yoruba as a result of writings of early missionaries
who borrowed it from Berber writer Ahmed Baba.

Christistruth02:
Lukumi is one of the Old names Yorubas were called
It is still the same people

Lukumi is a sectional name.
Yorubas have never collectively being called any other name apart from Yoruba.
The people used to be called by the town or region they originate from.

Kafirbigot:
So there was friction caused by supporting 'A Politician'?

I thought these internet rodents they employ always claim to be indivisible and are glued by whatever traditional beliefs they adhere to.

So a division truly exists in Yoruba land?


Anyway, this is for the real 'Omoluabi' to ponder on and purge themselves from within, as RONU miscreants have given Yoruba people a very bad name.

You seem confused.
How does your comment relate to the fact that there is political division in Afenifere.

Elusive001:
Afenifere been get two factions?

Yes.
Fasoranti and Adebanjo.
Though Adebanjo was appointed by Fasoranti as successor but they
split during the 2023 general elections by supporting different candidates.

TimeManager:
You were here when some people were appealing to the President that they are " our brothers" with ethnic affiliation, top Northern leaders engaged in several delegation to the President to lift the sanctions. A leader cannot always be rigid.

-Kiss the truth!

This isn't about personal issues and appeals but institutional strength and integrity.
Any organization that grants the same rights to both current and ex-members has
lost its reason for existing.

ECOWAS is an international union and not ethnic enclave.
It would have been better if ECOWAS pretended to renegotiate the trade deals
with the ex-members and end up conferring them with most of the existing privileges
than the blanket rights extended to ex-members.

It cost the UK billions of dollars to leave the EU along with revoked privileges,
but ECOWAS ex-members are making gains and keeping all membership privileges.

Broveens42:
The first upstair in Nigeria was built in 1758, at ukehe.
Ukehe is the present day Nsukka, Enugu state

Fake news.
Iron roofing sheets in Enugu in 1758?
Even London had no such roofs as at that time since Iron roofing sheet was invented in 1830.

He should also be deported for harboring an illegal.
Trump promised to deport illegals like his wife, he thought his own wife is special
and won't be affected.

Spineless ECOWAS still indirectly begging them.
Ordinarily, there should be a new negotiation when a country leave an economic union.

All UK's EU's privileges were revoked when it left, same thing should happen to
those land-locked state and not appeasing them.

With this position, ECOWAS just signal that it is a completely
fruitless organization that offers no advantage to being a member.
Any member that also wants to leave can now leave since all their privileges will be
maintained.

TONYE001:
Teachers, security personnel, and health workers supposed dey among top earners in any society.

Wages are determined by demand and supply, not entitlement.
There are millions of potential teachers and security personnel.
Only the health workers are better off, since their pool is limited especially as they go higher.

There is a great need for regulating bodies to look into this evil.

The only evil here is the potential violation of minimum wage law.

budaatum:
They began at the bottom by stealing land and very cheap labour.

That is how all empires are formed but it didn't guarantee their longevity.

Give me the same start

Who will give you the same start? it is never given but taken and paid for in blood.
Many even fizzle out quick even though they started well.
Are you willing to pay the price?

and I to will Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth, but pity those I exploit for my blessings, especially if I kept exploiting, them, I think.

No, you won't.
Even if this were to be the 1st century, your reach will still be limited by either distance or competing powers.

Sonnobax15:

The truth is that if our own country was good and everything was working, nobody would care about what an American president had said or has to say.......

That means you don't even understand the consequences of the tariff.
In fact, it is the "working" countries that have much to fear most from tarriff than others.

Trump can do better.
Trump promised millions, estimated to about 10 million, will be deported
but with this 1 million list, he would be lagging behind Obama in deportations
numbers but with much less posturing and drama.

KnowledgePower7:
Today I learnt that the only way USA can survive is to make sure that other countries do not develop!!

Anything that will make your country prosper is a threat to USA.

USA want to have all the good things
Then only them can share it with their friends
While other countries remain poor and dependent on US

That is how they have managed to stay at the top for many many years..

You skipped an important part of history.
You didn't learn how they got to the top!

obinna58:
They thought he was a hero but Trump was actually a psychopath
At this stage 3rd world war is looking more realistic, it’s getting harder for it not to happen

A 3rd world war isn't happening barring extraterrestrial invasion.
If you check the history of the world wars, it always starts as a minor conflict between
long-term enemies not some rabble rouser acting tough within his own border or
some former allies turning on each other.

If you are still not convinced, who will be fighting the US, is it China, Russia or Europe?
What would definitely happen is a full blown economic war and some possible realignment too.

Nazgul:
This means that Antiretroviral drugs that's almost free of charge would experience a significant increase in price. And considering how the economy is, most people might not be able able to afford it for a long period of time.

Imagine spending between 50k-100k everyday on Antiretroviral drugs for the rest of your life.

This is not the time to be randy. Stick to your spouse of abstain from sex if you're single.

Everyday?
Where did you get your numbers from?

SalamRushdie:
If secession come to pass how does it help u? Most of the HIV grants are stolen by institutional fraudsters...Trump will bring sanity into the HIV sector by force so only those who need the aid get it

You are one of those who claimed subsidy is a fraud but
end up crying when the fraud was removed and the price of fuel and everything skyrockets.

oxygeng:
That's what it seems on the surface, but deep down it's actually a coalition of Uganda and Rwanda against Congo DR.

This is like saying Russian invasion is a coalition of Russia and Belarus.
We are talking about effective force deployment, not tangential support.

Same will happen to Oduduwa Republic when Niger, Chad and Northern states invade her in the nearest future.

Your geography and geopolitical knowledge is inadequate.
There is nothing like northern states.
Moreover, there is no future where Nigeria disintegrates and the Sahel countries becomes
peaceful and stable enough to form coalitions. And this is the age of technology not sword fighting.

madridguy:
DRC are just plain stupid. A country of with population of 100 million are collecting woto woto from a country of 7 million people.

You are right.
A country of 100 million couldn't handle a country with just 7 million people.
DRC economy is also four times the size of Rwanda's.
It is not as if Rwanda produces its own weapons, it buys from the same market as DRC.

It is really shameful.

wirinet:
In the US you could actually end up in jail for that kind of "adjustment". Trump did not do that much "adjustment" to E. Jean Carroll to be liable for 88 million dollar damages.

Jail is for poor peasants.

PresidObi:
It happened in Lagos. They won't even push it to front page. They will want to hide it. The propaganda war they are fighting in this forum is sickening.

So every death that happened in your village must be murder?
Do you know the number of EFCC officials that have died since the agency creation?
Do you think a murder investigation should be launched for all the occurrences?

Jostoman:
must you people support bad thing everytime?

What is bad in freeing yourself before freeing others?

HarunaWest:
After lamenting and complaining, you finally answered yourself. Indigenes, some armed forces, NGO's, some top government officials ,politicians et al dont want this war to end..The war has become a source of livelihood for many. The instability is bringing in madt profit..The black man isnt loyal to anything except his stomach..thats where the problem lies.

Keep making useless excuse.

swaggerjack:
Yoruba and jazz is in the family and was practiced by our grandparents. Thank God for introduction of Christianity.

Look at Sowore still holding on to our old occultic traditions.

See this white slave raging against his roots as occults.

Jlow2:
A slave that does not ask for his freedom, does not worth freedom, Nigerians re more comfortable with there oppressors , and will even insult you for trying to free them

Why don't you free yourself first?

mrvitalis:
Business minded people would always move to places filled with lazy or ignorant people to make easy money

Funny.
Business minded people move to where there is business opportunity.
Do you think Onitsha people are lazy and ignorant compared to the migrants from nearby villages and town?

Moreover, lazy and ignorant people are usually too poor to attract sustained capital from faraway locations.

I suppose foreign currency is the way forward after EFCC started foolishly targeting event organizers
rather than make money from the process.

Rwanda/Congo scenario is similar to Russia/Ukraine.
Both use the stupid excuse of "protecting" ethnic Russians/Rwandans to invade
and destabilize a foreign country.

If your people are not wanted in a foreign territory, you pull them out, not resorting
to war of aggression to carve out another country's land through violence.

Well, it is time DR Congo invest in killer drones, they are quite effective at beating rebels.

Kobicove:
And you think that will work?

Yes.
It will work.
If the passenger pays 5-10K fine per ride, most would abandon Okada
and use alternatives.

jojotemitopaz:
Going by this sensational rhetorics it means every one in the united states owe $1,077,844. America that boast of tbe most stable economy owes 36 trillion dollars. I inderstand we like to play the victim all the time as though theres some medal to gain from the most negative attribute we can give to ourselves. Oweing isnt a problem, its having the confidence to payback and fortunately in a long time, our credit rating is improving internationally as it is projected that income would rise much more than it is at the moment... Peace!

Yes, each American owes 1+ million dollars.
Are you shocked?

BTW, stop comparing Nigeria with America economically.
The USA has a dollar printing machine and is one of the most productive countries on earth.

Abufo:
Immediately Tinubu started his love affair with French President Macron...I knew we were back in Boko Haram trouble! Tinubu should know that France and their Western allies are behind the rise of Boko Haram and Fulani banditry!

So, the western allies were weak before Tinubu and couldn't help Boko haram but
they became stronger following the "love affair"?

BTW, are the western allies also behind the rise of terrorists ESN killing and kidnapping people all over the
South East?
Since all your favorite terror leaders have made Europe their hiding place, I supposed that is not too much a stretch.

I understand your defense of Boko haram though, because it is expected that terrorists help each other
to shift responsibility elsewhere.

Maysdevices:
How can you type so many words and still say absolutely nothing?

Whatever they paid you, his reputation is gone, save your strength

Who released this one?
We are talking about erroneous judgment, this one is talking about reputation.

I supposed you are also being paid since anybody in their right senses would
reason logically on a legal matter and not emotionally.
