Culture / Re: Sweden To Return 39 Artefacts To Oba Of Benin's Palace by XtraFortunes: 9:35pm On May 15
The ancient Benin Kingdom where the King is truly Kinggrin

Oba gha tor kpeee ISE

One of our brothers from the south west was saying how can the Binis say the yorubas came from Benin Kingdom, whether I can't see that the south west is larger than Benin Kingdom? So I told him it is not by size and that the Benin Kingdom had a superior civilization than our South West Brothers.

The ancient Benin Kingdom at its peak spread beyond south west Nigeria to other African nations.

Today you still find some places in South West bearing Bini names like Etiosa in Lagos. Even Eko is the name the Binis gave Lagos in those days.

The BINIS are Royalty cool

The man is so clueless, I honestly don't know the lines and lies they would want to use to convince people to vote for them again come 2027.

Majority of Nigerians did not vote for APC in the last presidential elections

The judiciary has been bought. They will throw out all evidence and declare Tilumbu winner.

Food / Re: What Is The Nutritional Difference Between Butter And Margarine? by XtraFortunes: 3:18pm On May 10
olatuneji:
The nutritional differences between butter and margarine include :
- Calories: Both items have the same amount of calories, 717kcal per 100g of the food eaten.
- Carbohydrates: Both foods are very low in carbohydrates.
- Protein: Both foods are low in protein - 0.85g per 100g for butter vs. 0.16g per 100g for margarine.
- Fats: Butter is trans-fat-free. Margarine contains trans fats.
- Minerals: The mineral content of butter is a little higher than that of margarine, although it is still low.
- Vitamins: Margarine has a higher vitamin score compared to butter.
So which one is better?

lowkey0147:
Benin again..

Why is benin(kingdom) the most uncertain tribe in the country today; with no substantial evidence of where they came from and who there predecessors or descendants are.

Today, ask the benin people who there descendants are:

(The 1st day) They will claim their descendants are the yorubas.

(Day 2) They will say it's the Ijaws

(Day 3) They will say it's the Igbos

(Day 4) They will say it's the Ikwerres

(Day 5) They will tell you is the Isokos

(Day 6) They will say its the urhobos (after the migration) - Everytime they will tell you that is either they migrated to that place or that they conquered through war.. People with barely 4 local govt in Edo state, is it not funny?..

Presently, they're raising unequivocal issues and doubts among other confused tribe that are willing to dive into their confusion.

Benin people are really confused who they are, where they came from and who were their good or bad neighbours.

Today they claim fathering Yoruba, tomorrow Igalla or Ijaw, next Igbo, Ikwerre or Opobo or Urhobos. They seem to be hopeless in determining who they are.

(And they claimed they once had a kingdom, hmmm).

How can you be a father to communities that are one hundred percent more than you in population, with highly sophisticated different languages, culture, tradition and customs? See the sizes of Yoruba - Benin, Igbo - Benin, Igalla - Benin. It is that of a Squirrel to an Elephant, and you want a sage to believe that the squirrel is the father and founder of the Elephant. So where is the rationale, the similarity, the closeness, etc.

Their various concocted historical tales are like many herbs in a cauldron giving vane remedy to any sickness, such a tragedy.

I'm a proud Igbo from Obio akpor.

Our fathers never told us we were from bini nor hausa nor yoruba, na their business sha.. All their jokes is on them grin

Your analogy is wrong. It is not by size

Look at the size of the UK ,then look at the size of all the other countries around the world colonized by them Nigeria, India, US, Australia etc even the population ratio too. So forget size the ancient Benin Kingdom had a superior civilizationgrin

Is it Binance that is causing this depreciation now?

They are looking for the next person to blame, now it is fintech banks like opay and moniepoint

Stop chasing shadows and move the country from consumption to production, no they won't but will blame everyone for their daftness

Politics / Re: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway: Demolition Of Buildings Commences Saturdays by XtraFortunes: 5:26am On Apr 26
This is the Lagos Calabar Propaganda Highway of the APC Agbadorians Governmentgrin

This road will not get to 15 percent completion during the whole of Tilumbu time in office.

We have important roads like the East West road and the Benin Abuja begging for attention. Ekpoma close to AAU is an eyesore. But instead of FG to focus and complete these ones they want to start a new one.

This is like a man who builds a bungalow house to lintel level and then stops it to start a mansion. The Tilumbu led FG lacks direction. You can't govern with Propaganda undecided

That is not a lasting solution. The lasting solution is for Nigeria to move from consumer to producer and export what we produce aside from oil and earn more forex from non oil export.

I just realized January is fast going and I haven't heard much of prophesies from our 'men of God' this year as always the practice when preparing to enter a new year.
Is there any conspiracy or twist to this silence? Why is this year different from that past? Or is the usual yearly prophesies/predictions outdated? I would like to hear people's opinions about this.

They are fake. God did not tell them anything.

You can check your alert on emails. You have data on your phone so you can check even though your main sim is at home. My banks send email alerts, if your bank don't, then you can go to the bank to activate it.

Nazgul:

My dear you're the one talking nonsense. Do you know how much chicken feed is sold? The prices has tripled in the last 6 months.

Do you know the cost of training a chick to market size?

Most poultry farmers today are barely managing to keep their head afloat in the business, and someone is saying he bought live chicken N6,500 in this economy.

Unless it's in a remote village where the chickens were raised locally, if it's in a city like Lagos, I'll tell you that it's a lie from the pit of hell.

Is old layer not a live chicken? You can get old layer for that price. Accept that you are ignorant and shut the f.uck up

Hi, thank you for your response, please can you advise what’s the FP and MODs mean?

FP means front page and MOD means moderators

You have been on this site since 2020 and should know these abreviations

Anyway sorry to hear you are stranded.

Create a new thread in this travel section tag a mod like seun justwise or nlfpmod. They will move the thread to front page so that more Nigerians can see it and tell you what to do.

Thread tittle should be catchy like 'Help!!! I was robbed and I am stranded in Mexico'

True. What is paraded as Christianity almost everywhere isn't it at all. It's like having the fake of a material everywhere and rarely seeing the original, same thing with Christianity

If christians practice the original like you are saying, they will go extinct. Imagine terrorist killing people without any reprisal, they will be emboldened to kill more and send that tribe or religion out of existence.

That's how it is bro. You are not alone

Majority don't answer because they feel you want to tax them.

Especially UK people. Na them stingy pass.

By my nature I don't tax people or feel entitled to their money. That is why I work hard and try to be smart and leave the rest for God to bless my effort.

Do you think if you were Governor today that your sis won't reply you when you chat her?

I know you are comfortable but hustle hard so you can be going there for holidays, snap am put for your dp and see if she will not reply

Everyone wants to associate with successful people.
