Konji is BAAAAD!!!


All he could have done Was just Ask

Are you okay?

You and the doctor, I don‘t even know who is worse.... ask for what e dakun? There are too many "No strings attached" avenues to get sexually satisfied outside the hospital setting that will never get him into any trouble, he is a Medical Doctor, money is definitely not his problem. Do you know anything about doctor-patient relationship or workplace ethics at all?

goalernestman:
Only hear Oyo empire and Benin empire war by only Yoruba people. Did you want to still fake a fight that never happened as you fake Oyo empire

Oyo and Benin empires didn't wage war on one another. How could they when one saw the other as a brother.
Although Benin waged war on some Yoruba Kingdoms like Akure, Owo and Ado that was only because Oyo didn't care. Both empires had previously agreed on where to demarcate their boundary, Somewhere between Ekiti and Ilesha. I forgot the name of that village.

Oshi5403:
I Dont Know Your State Of Origin.But Remember That I Said I Have Extensively Studied The History Binding Boths Together From Different Angles And Sources.
So,i Believe You Are Talking From The Version Of The Binin People.

The Yorubas Will Never Agree That Oduduwa Is From Benin.That Is The Main Entangled And Herculean Point.
The Yorubas Believe Oduduwa The Father Of Oranmiyan Is Directly From Heaven Or Mecca.

Oduduwa is from Oke Oramfe, a hill in the outskirts of Ife.

Politically, Alaafin The Oba of Oyo, and The Obas of Benin I can say are neck and neck.
So they are Equal in my opinion.

Reason being that Oyo exerted political influence over about 75% of Yorubaland and conquered non yoruba territories in Bariba, Nupe, Fon, Egun, and Aja. Even fought the Ashantis by leading a coalition between themselves and the Akyem in Ghana.
Benin exerted political influence over the remaining 25% of Yorubaland, mostly in Ondo (Owo, Ondo town, Akure, Ikales etc), Ekiti, Lagos Island and the jekris (Itsekiri) and conquered non Edo territories in Anioma and where else.... maybe Urhobo and Isoko if we don't consider them as Edo based on linguistics.

Symbolically and Spiritually though, Ooni is above both. Though Ife never proved itself Militarily, it was more like a Vatican of sorts. Its power lay in its symbolism and mysticism.

Plangdep, Qua'an Pan, Kwagallak, Koplong, Yilyap Longpuaan, Jo Homsuk You go fear.

Those are the most Asian sounding languages in Nigeria AFAIK.

fero007:
I have actually heard similar words btw esan and urhobo,

in urhobo/isoko you'll hear edo words, ijaw words, tsekiri words, igbo words, even some Portuguese words

That is interesting.

Examples pls.

Which external languages have the greateat influences on urhobo-Isoko in your opinion?

mamsong9:
I'm also Fulani from kwara state Ilorin, we are of the Torobe clan too. It pains me whenever I see people speaking the language and I can't. But I'm still very proud of my Fulani origin.

Interesting. You are the firat Fulani Ilorinite I am meeting here on NL. Nice to meet you.
How do you self identify in real life situations? As Fulani only, as Yoruba-Fulani, as Yoruba and Fulani, or as a Yoruba?

[s][/s]

As a Benin man who has travelled far and wide I can tell you that you are an uninformed bigot and extremely unexposed

The south east have more population than the south west

I have lived in taraba, Adamawa, Kano , kaduna, anambra , enugu, Lagos , osun all for work because my job demands I travel alot and in every state I have gone you can find a group of igbos living and doing business
You are too stupid to understand that the government has twisted census figures for years for political notices so stupid people like you can talk rubbing and chest beat like a lunatic

The problem I have with the South easterners is that they do not come out and vote

In anambra alone there were over 1.9 million registered voters but less than 700k picked up the PVC

You are too stupid to understand this aren't you?

In enugu same thing, in Imo same thing, the number of ibo in Lagos alone is more than some south Western States population

Benin man, clap for yourself.

Abagworo:
Remove the Lagos PDP figures from Southwest votes and add to Southeast and also remove Abuja PDP votes and add to Southeast. That will give a more accurate estimate.

Because Igbos are the only ones voting PDP in those places or what? You’ve forgotten that APC didn’t win any of the FCT’s local councils this year.

Oya let’s remove the Rivers APC figures and add it to SW or NW Na
That is just how what your idea sounds like.

nwabobo:
The mistake your type make is that they limit the number of Igbo voters to the number of voters registered in the South East. Any sane Nigerian knows there are more Igbos living outside the South East than those living in the South East. Lagos alone has 2.4M Igbo voters; reason Asiwaju and his thugs are panicking about what the Igbos can do to Sanwo Olu if they come out to vote.

If there are 2.4 Million igbo voters in Lagos state, how many voters are now in Lagos state in total?
Yes there are igbos outside Igboland, but the number is mostly usually artificially inflated by Igbos for some other motives. That was what Agbaje was relying n 2011 that led to his disgrace. You Igbos should learn to be sincere with the people who depend on you like Atiku and co, so that they can do proper strategic planning ahead.

seanfer:
See Excuse

It’s not excuse- it is the truth.
Even turn out in the SW was low too.

Besides, Igbos by themselves can not determine the direction any national election result will go. They usually need another region to vote in the same pattern to make a significant enough impact, Usually SS.

But this time, the SS states all had their own individual interests from Delta to Akwa Ibom to Edo to Bayelsa.

Yes there are igbos outside Igboland, but the number is mostly usually artificially inflated by Igbos for some other motives. That was what Agbaje was relying n 2015 that led to his disgrace. You Igbos should learn to be sincere with the people who depend on you like Atiku and co, so that they can do proper strategic planning ahead. It is not everything that y'all have to 'chestbeat' about.

Igbos are not as populated as Yorubas.
While Yorubas can afford to vote 40 or even 45% for one party and still give 55% to the winners while managing it, Igbos can't afford to even give away as little as 25% of their votes to another political party, It would be disastrous. And that is exactly what has played out here.

Forget all those massive 99% turnout figures in the SE from previous years- they were all cooked up figures that couldn’t be done this year because power had changed axis long ago.

Mcreloaded:
Agbara in Badagry means Erosion
I stand to be corrected

Agbara is now in badagry?

michaelwilli:
last one is eye of the cane owner

lmao

No, it means where Elegba is worshiped.
Oju (eye or spot) of Elegba.

MacLovington:
Legend has it that Hausa traders have been there for ages. It supposedly came from that or something similar.

No.
It means walnut seller.

O to ge! Is the password

I don’t like the look of it....

XhosaNostra:
I live in Pretoria lol. We have a lot of them here. I doubt there's a place without them in South Africa. They even live in squatter camps. That's how much at home they feel here.

They are your Bantu brethren.
There is love in sharing

I hear those guys are not really Hausas but Dagomba and other tribes, just like a lot of “Hausas” in Nigeria aren’t Hausas either.

This is what a Ghanaian national told me.

Pako wey get Green Card.

Pako

All the culture (material or inmaterial) that Africans are busy discarding in favour of Western ideals will simply be taken over by the same westerners and repackaged for people in their own societies.

Then the very same Africans, will start using the same things they discarded a while ago because it was African and too “local”, with a renewed sense of “Swag” because say some Oyinbo don dey use am....

We got deep issues.

Ogo

davidnazee:
Edo is not South, east or west.. Edo is Benin Kingdom.

Go away.....
Edo is not South, East or West... I guess it is in another earthly dimension then.

Where are the “Edo is not South” Crew?

fero007:
listen to omawumi - megbele, n tell me if it sounds like Yoruba, or if a Yoruba can understand the language.

yorubas dont eat starch n banga/ohwo, or ukodo like itsekiris

itsekiris dress very different from Yoruba

N yorubas dont answer names like uduaghan, okorodudu, ugboroke, origho

what has eating starch or banga got to do with their basic origin lol

As an example, Cassava where they get the starch from isn't even from West Africa, but rather Brazil. So are you saying that before the Portuguese brought Tapioca to our shores, Itsekiris were identity-less?
Yorubas don't answer Uduaghan or Origho same way Ekitis don't answer Odumosu or Shonnaike, and same way Oyos don't answer Adanikin. Clans clans clans.
But you can see both an Itsekiri and a Yoruba bearing Olushola Ikuesan or Toju Erejuwa.

fero007:
so Warri is partly Yoruba?

Exactly.

Technically speaking, yeah.
Politically speaking, everyone is just kinda maintaining their own lanes. No one wants to shake the tables.

OlaoChi:
.
I'm not talking about his identity. It's the name.. It doesn't sound itsekiri that's why I ask you for the etymology

You obviously do not study much if you don't know Itsekiri is a Yoruba dialect and the bini royal family is from Ife

They are Itsekiri names though..

Aghan in Itsekiri is Awan (Awon) in Yoruba.
Dudu is black in yoruboid. Okoro in Okorodudu is the Okoro of Edoid origin, so that probably came via their Benin or Urhobo neighbours, I think the binis say it means Prince. So ...... Dark prince or something.
Udu can mean anything.

Not everything will come out direct or look very obviously the same with MSY (Modern standar Yoruba)

somegirl1:
If you consider "souless" and "useless" to be synonyms of advanced, then you make perfect sense.

"Advanced" my left nyansh..lol

amaniro:

Igbos don't prostrate
it's our culture


unlike useless afonja that will bow down, lie down just to greet ordinary man. Smh, der hypocrisy got me ugh.....


Igbo amaka



miracle amaka


long live oni of ife.... Kabiyeeesi sir

That is why Eboe culture is the most souless and useless culture in Nigeria na.

Sinistami:
Lagos belongs to anybody who was born and raised there or who had lived there for 18 to 20 years. Shikina must every thing belong to a tribe.

Anybody born and raised there lol
