Living In Lagos Cheap?

If you're living in Abuja, it's cheap

If you're living in Port Harcourt, it's ok

If you're living in other states in Nigeria apart from Abuja and Port Harcourt, it's costly.

Op, where in Osun state is an ideal place for someone to settle down.

How much is ok for such person to settle down.

I wanna know why yorubas practice voodoo. Even when they are muslims or christains, there is always one juju god they run to for instant help.
Why do the white garment churches and Muslim alfas practise voodoo all in the name of serving God.

Its just a question and I need sincere answers

No bashing please.

My question to the Op is that why is it that many Igbo fear traveling to their state?

I have seen an Igbo man saying he didn't want to his home town because of the fear of Juju and another who vows to go back to his home town because of fear of him be attached spiritually.

Another reason why most Igbos give for not building houses in their home town is also because of spiritual attack.

The difference between Yoruba and Igbo in terms of voodoo is that Yoruba don't hide it unlike the Igbo.

So Jesus get swag, see as Bros J dey pose.

The guy go sell bread tire



End Time bread.

LordAdam:
That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

No continent has no flaw. But Africa's case is not a flaw, it is our way of life. There is no flaw in the living space of a mad man. You cannot compare that with a bachelor who did not wash cutleries and dishes before leaving for work in the morning.

The first case is akin to Africa, the second is akin to other continents.

I think it takes mental strength to see and affirm the truth even when it does not favor you. Again that is my sole opinion and you are welcome to disagree.

What do you mean by flashy? No matter how you flip the coin, Africa still comes last. It has been like that for 6000 years. Hoping it will change now is blind optimism. Do you know why? Because others will not stay static while we overcome them or equal them. They are moving exponentially and we are move arithmetically. We can never measure up.

The only thing that can change who we are is if we adopt a different style of thinking and way of life. But the truth is, how feasible is that? We are who we are. We are Africans. Our uniqueness makes us slaves and cursed. We have never changed. We do not have the capacity to change.

-Lord

Is the Europeans and other continents not a caused generation on the world. If other continents are not mad while would a sensible group of people be so eager is in creating atomic bombs.

Civilization as being described as people like you as the best things to have happened to human generation but close look as it, you will discovered that is a time bomb on this earth.

Note: I am not saying Africa is a perfect continent but I believe no continent is perfect.
Your statement about Africa is insulting to my person, next time you should said you believe you are a slave not saying Africans are slave.

LordAdam:
@Rossikk, you seem like a reasonable person with a heavily flawed sense of emotional disorder.

I do not want to quote all of your posts, but this is the question I put to you. 6000 years of recorded history on planet earth, show me which Black Kingdom in sub-sahara Africa can rival the Egyptian kingdom, the Assyrians, the Persians, the Babylonians, the Qing dynasty in China, the Japanese empire, the empires in the Sub-Indian continent, the Aztecs with their cities of gold, the Prussian empire, the British Empire, the Russian empire, the Mongolian empire, the Ottoman empire, the Seulecids. The Europeans, Arabs, Asians were making advances in civilization. The Greeks with philosophy, the Romans with construction, the Arabs with mathematics, the Indians with life sciences, the Chinese with trade, what did Black Africans contribute as a race?

Which other race have been consistent slaves for 6000 years apart from the black race? Right from the Sumerians to today? You and I belong to a savage race. There are individuals who turn out to be exceptions like Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, Martin Luther King Jnr, Chinua Achebe... But they represent a percentage that is so small I can't calculate a figure.

History says Africa is cursed, the present say Africa is cursed, the future will only replay the past.

Look at you trying to pass your message across and your only way to do so is to wish that someone who you haven't seen and his mother be taken as slaves. Do you think that kind of reasoning is civilized or barbaric. I will give you an example of civilized, Brevnik killed 77 people and injured 319 people. During his trial, the relations of those he killed gave him handshakes because that is what civil people do. That is what Mandela did when he came out of prison, inviting the White supremacists to a dinner table. Today, Brevnik has his own private suite in a Norwegian jail, and undergoes therapy so that he can be helped.

In Netherlands, prisons are closing because there are not enough people breaking the law. You mentioned the US. Why was Obama voted in to end the war after the US people found out they were deceived by Bush? Did Tony Blair not apologize for the war? Why was there outrage in US after reports showed that there were no chemical weapons in Iraq?

Now compare that to Nigeria where the vast majority of people supported the government for killing 700 people because they belonged to a sect that blocked a road in a procession. 700 people and nobody is perturbed. A kid was shot in the vagina, and people say they deserve what they got. Such insensitivity, such barbarism. Look at Burundi? Look at the kind of leaders that constitute the African Union.

I will not say we should be re-colonized again. Recolonization will shut the voices of the very few intelligent people that can chart their own course. The average black man is a curse to planet earth. Destined to serve other races. Are Africans not slaves currently? There is no need to make it official. The most of them that leave the shores, where do they end up? Even with the technology and relatively low discrimination, what have we used our opportunity for. Look at Malaysia taking seedlings from Nigeria and today is one of the worlds largest exporter of palm oil.

For every reason you come up with why we should not be colonized, I can come up with a gazillion reasons why we should be packaged and sent to space alone to rot for all eternity (the Arabs should tag along too). The Europeans have left Nigeria for what, 55 years, and one region wants to neo-colonize the other 4 major regions? Is it not slavery, when the SS holds power and another region says they will make Nigeria ungovernable for him.

You can sample your emotional hogwash. Wish I burn in hell. I don't give a darn. It only shows you are primitive and barbaric. That you are a perfect specimen of what the OP said and what I have said in this long post. I will prove to be an exception. The question is will you?

-Lord

You are who you think you are, I don't believe Africa is a slave or caused continent.

Can you tell me a continent that has no flaw? The way this earth is made, nothing on it is perfect.

I think you are mental weak to believe that your race is cursed / slavery bond.

There are lots of things wrong with other continents but you are carried away by flashy things you see.

igraman:
That's one of the reasons why I'm always happy for the privilege to be a Muslim.

No religion is free of Foolishness. What will call ISIS?

Morality is my religion.

JosephsDestiny:
Don't be naive, what makes you think DBanj would be the greatest Artiste Don Jazzy would ever work with or produce? What a joke! Who knows tomorrow? We know what DBanj has been and can be, but we don't know what any other up and coming artiste can become. Besides do you think Don Jazzy gets high on some cheap weed like Olamide and stoop low to begin to counter his many childish and stupid rants on Twitter? Wake up bro. I respected Don J more for not making that mistake, replying Olamide while receiving his lifetime achievement award at the Headies was enough blunder IMO. Don Jazzy will be remembered as a LEGEND, few men in the industry like 2FACE, DJ JIMMY JATT, maybe DBANJ too, will be remembered and considered as LEGENDS. OLAMIDE would never share such space. QUOTE ME. Olamide is good and he is a hitmaker, but to stand the test of time and remain relevant in the industry for more than 12 years like DON J, producing hits and making stars, you have to be a LEGEND. I rest my case.

My friend RANTING is different from DEFENDING yourself against what you are wrongly accused of.

Did you get that?

airmirthd1:
I have to get it too..... Those are the real songs....Not like all the jack of all trade songs we have around...

I am very sure you won't be disappointed and his music like a guideline of a peaceful living.

Oluwamuyeewa:
Beeni
Sugbon it's just too absurd to say oduduwA gave birth to the Yoruba race..even in those folklore he met some people in ile-ife

Odaro

Ka jire.

Then we should endorse illegal act by Saraki just because we want to be among.

It's better we have no representative than having a law violating person / cunning person representing us.

Omo Ale Yoruba la ri iwa ibaje nile, la pe ni ikan gidi.

@ Op, you no get sense, do you think we Yorubas support what is bad? Hell no.

We are different from the Igbos who takes pride in supporting what is wrong.

Omo Lu Abi Ni WA.

Oluwamuyeewa:
As for your question the answer simply is : genesis 11: 1-9 tower of bab

Ehn, so you believe in Bible yet you doubted the folklore by our forefathers?

Reading Bible with an open minded, you will surely know that the Bible is not far from folklore.

We've all been told stories but we don't know which is true.

Oduduwa falling from the sky is a folklore as Adam and Eve were the first human beings while Oduduwa coming to settled down in Ile Ife is a historical fact as men evolved from ape as claimed by historians.

Aditu Ni ile aye.

You might choose what ever you want to believe. Whether he fell from sky or he came from the Arabian world, I don't care but what I believe is that Oduduwa is the father of we Yorubas.

Concerning your question about the diversity of the Yoruba language, answer the question below then you will find your answer.

How come there is so many languages when the whole people in the world all related to Adam and Eve.

airmirthd1:
wow.... I'm a fan for life....
I'm also Asa's fan....
Ara e bami gboro kan o.......
Ebami gbon do yi gbe jangbala jubujubujubu jangbala....
On the farm my father called me down behind the tree he say lay upon my bossom ..
Where is he now I miss his songs

There lots of Beautiful Nubia albums after Jangbala jugbu.

His albums are as follows
Fere
Kilo Kilo
Inrin Ajo
Sun no dry sleep
Keere
Moremi.

You are missing alot.

His latest album is called Sound Bender but I haven't got it.

Oluwamuyeewa:
Lol did he masturbate to reproduce ??

He moved down to Ile Ife with his family. Don't try to mislead people.

I am looking for Beautiful Nubia fan(s) here in Nairaland and I wish to follow such person because I believe a Beautiful Nubia fan is Matured.

Oduduwa didn't meet anybody in Ile Ife, he settled down in Ile Ife and developed Ile Ife.

End Time pastor + Mumu church Members = Grade A Foolishness. >

Guy you think say you smart abi, you just be like chicken wey thief wan catch. Person go give am some corn so the chicken go think say him be VIP while to the thief know say the chicken Na R.I.P go end am.

Be cautious of Women that toast guys easily.

RSAMAN:
Because his music is watered down and is meant to appeal to the masses than the true hardcore rap fan. All rap aritsts that you hear their music driven by a constant base line instead of lyricism are commercial. Almost all rap artists you see on tv and hear on radio are commercial.

What of 50 cent?

JayKayMaybachz:
I bounce to his raps when I'm driving, mehn.. . He beats 50 cent hands down when it comes to beats and finesse

I disagree, 50 cent does it for me any day. Am a cool guy I love Rnb and Jazz music alot but if I want to wake the animal in me then I switch to rap music. 50 cent does it when it comes to rap music.

Love RnB but I prefer Jazz music when going to bed.

Sade Adu push the emotion button in me.

Cool Jazz is good for relaxing for me.

Happy birthday CR7.

Love you so much, you are the best player in the world.

CR7...the never give-up guy.

#ThereWillAlwaysBeHaters

The snake come look Bleep film now and also to learn some sex position.

jmichlins:
I do not know why he is still looking fresh and please do not tell me jungle justice is barbaric

Na because say na Surulere Dem catch am, if na mushin dem for don panel beat him face with serious beating.

JosephsDestiny:
Can you please explain how Dbanj is 'standing on his own' or making good music as it were.

Problem with you guys is that you don't pay attention to D'banj music. Get yourself his D King's Men (DKM) album and you will testify that Don Jazzy really miss a real entertainer.

Don Jazzy will never have an artist as big as D'banj again.

And for information, if you are a good listener of music then you will know that Nigeria have producers that are better at producing wonderful beats than Don jazzy.

Was it even Don jazzy that produced all Mavin songs because he never denied Olamide allegation of he buying beats then claiming he produced them.

So God dey lie abi?
